"Without a life of prayer, you are really not living as a Catholic" - Matt Leonard   Summary What does it really mean to "go deeper" in prayer? And what if you pray every day but don't feel anything?  This week we're joined by Matthew Leonard, founder of The Science of Sainthood, to talk about what real spiritual growth looks like. We break down the three modes of prayer, vocal, meditation, and contemplation, and how they form a path to holiness. Matthew shares practical steps for building a daily habit of mental prayer, handling distractions, and creating space for silence. We also talk about how married couples can grow spiritually together without pressure or guilt.  If you've ever wondered whether you're making progress in your prayer life, this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and a clear next step.   Key Takeaways Prayer is essential, not optional.  Without prayer, we're not really living the fullness of Catholic life. A relationship with the Lord isn't an add-on. It's fundamental. There's a path to deeper prayer.  Vocal prayer, meditation, and contemplation build on each other. Vocal prayer engages body and soul. Meditation is daily mental prayer and real conversation with God. Contemplation is a gift from God that we prepare for through faithfulness. "Feeling nothing" doesn't mean nothing is happening.  Distractions are normal. Lack of emotion isn't failure. Stay faithful, show up, and trust that God is at work beneath the surface. Consistency creates growth.  Commit to a time and place. Embrace silence. Use Scripture or spiritual reading to focus. Act on inspirations. Over time, deeper prayer opens you to greater grace.   Couple Discussion Questions How can we support each other as we grow in our prayer life?  What does our personal prayer life actually look like right now, and where do we each feel invited to go deeper?   Resources https://www.scienceofsainthood.com/  

Eric interviews Andrew Strobel, an R&D lead from Vermeer, during the ConExpo trade show in Las Vegas. The discussion highlights a groundbreaking partnership with Interlune to develop robotic trenching technology designed to excavate lunar soil, known as regolith. By adapting terrestrial engineering for low-gravity environments, the project aims to eventually extract Helium-3 from the moon's surface for energy purposes. The conversation explores technical hurdles such as traction and soil density, while noting how NASA-related expertise influences the company's innovation. This episode illustrates how decades of construction experience on Earth are being utilized to push the boundaries of space exploration. Key Takeaways: Adopt a mindset of constant and never-ending improvement to consistently level up your personal and professional life. Embrace experimentation by testing as many ideas as possible to identify what truly works for your business. Seek out strategic partnerships and collaborations to solve complex problems and access expertise outside your own field. Invest in yourself through dedicated training, coaching, and resources to master essential skills like sales and leadership. Challenge yourself to think beyond current limitations and set ambitious goals that push the boundaries of what you believe is possible.

844 I Hid Myself Because I Was Naked, A Guided Christian Meditation on Genesis 3:8-10 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrel axing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation Genesis 3 NIV 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?" 10 He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." KJV 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. Reflection on Scripture: What an interesting turn of events. When Adam and Eve ate from the tree from which they were commanded against, the scripture does not say they hid because they disobeyed God. It says they hid because they were naked. It seems like the wrong thing to be fearful that the Lord sees. God created their naked bodies. God has already seen their nakedness and yet this is the motivation for hiding from God.  Aside from the silliness of trying to hide from God, it seems the wrong reason to hide from God. It also seems like a wonderful deception for Satan. To foul their understanding of their sexual identity before the Lord quite literally. In the final day of active creation God created Adam, then as his culminating act of creation, he created Eve. In this act of creation he invited Adam and Eve to participate with Him in the act of creation of human bodies. The sexual acts that create their offspring is a literal usage of this gift for its intended purpose. Satan did not want them to develop a healthy relationship with this power. He wanted to immediately corrupt their perception. Their sexual bodies were incorrectly seen as an embarrassment before God.  Satan has waged a full fledged war against the correct perception and usage of this sacred creative power represented by their nudity. He tries to make the whole world mock, cheapen, objectify, and minimize the gift of sexuality. And on top of that, after he has done that, he seeks to heap on shame for it at the same time. God would have us reject the perspective of Satan, and the world. I believe God would prefer for us to protect the sacredness of this gift while also rejecting the shame the enemy would place upon it. Embrace the sacredness that God has put into you. Don't misuse it. Don't hide from the Lord when you fear or make errors. Let us not be in a place where God ever has to ask, where are you? Let us always seek His face, especially when we fall short, that he can redeem us.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.

What if the habit that takes the edge off is the very thing fraying your mind, your marriage, and your mornings? I open up about how “just a couple of wines” became a quiet loop of mediocrity that amplified bipolar swings, dulled my medication, and bled into the people I love most. Together we unpack the messy intersection of faith, freedom, and stewardship. I talk through the moment I drew a line with alcohol, how Australian drinking culture made that choice harder, and why love sometimes means choosing limits. We get practical about mood stabilisers, antipsychotics, and the very real risks of mixing meds with alcohol. Then we widen the lens: caffeine overload, sugar spikes, and refined carbs that masquerade as comfort yet push a vulnerable brain toward anxiety, depression, or rebound mania.If you've ever bargained with “just one,” this conversation offers a different bargain: trade the temporary hush for a brain you can trust tomorrow. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a nudge, and leave a review with one habit you're retiring this month.

The digital world promises a frictionless existence of infinite growth, convenience, and total scale. But what happens when that virtual map starts consuming the real territory? Rushkoff reflects on his recent appointment to the Club of Rome and their legendary 1972 warning: The Limits to Growth. From the massive water and energy drained by AI data centers to Jeff Bezos' intentional dismantling of the Washington Post, Rushkoff breaks down how the tech elite are using the digital simulation to extract the last remaining value from the physical world. The oligarchs want a frictionless reality where they own the platform and avoid the messy negotiations of actual human connection. But reall life, and real democracy, requires friction. It requires the awkward, inefficient, and vital collisions of human beings sharing a local space. It is time to stop confusing the map with the territory. Find the others.

With Trump's actions in Venezuela and Iran, many right-wing commentators, like my BlazeTV colleague John Doyle, are asking if we should embrace the idea of American empire. This is a critical discussion and a topic that I have invested a lot of time understanding. I respond to the notion that America should expand its role as the global hegemon and provide some alternative models for imperial political structures.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the often daunting topic of visibility, particularly within the context of the Christian life. As someone who has always had a love-hate relationship with being seen, I share my personal journey and the struggles that many of us face when it comes to putting ourselves out there. I begin by discussing the common fears associated with visibility, including the anticipation stress that can overwhelm us before we even take action. I highlight how our nervous systems can create a predictive narrative that amplifies our anxiety, making it difficult to step into the roles God has called us to.   Find out more about Roshanda Pratt at www.roshandapratt.com Get the Visibility Prayer HERE Looking for a powerful community to support you?

Travis and producer Eric unpack America's literacy crisis (54% of adults read below 6th-grade level, costing $2.2T in lost productivity), celebrate streamer Kai Cenat's public 30-minute daily reading challenge, debate childhood favorites like Dr. Seuss, and tie it all to self-improvement and earning potential. On this episode we talk about: Shocking U.S. literacy stats: 45M adults functionally illiterate, 40% of 4th graders below basic reading, and 44% read zero books yearly. Streamer Kai Cenat's vulnerable reading streams (Atomic Habits, looking up words like "spontaneity") mocked online but praised by Jamie Foxx and Hasan Piker. Generational reading habits, Dr. Seuss debates (Butter Battle Book vs. Green Eggs & Ham), and kids' books like Monster at the End of This Book and Rainbow Fish. How low literacy traps families in poverty cycles and kills income potential—humility in learning beats pretending to know it all. Workaholics cruise insights: Comedians aren't the "party slobs" they portray; successful ones prioritize health, work ethic, and growth. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Reading builds irreplaceable skills for communication, income, and breaking poverty cycles—start with 20-30 minutes daily like Kai Cenat.2.  Embrace looking "dumb" by googling words or admitting gaps; mockery reveals the mockers' insecurity, not your flaws.3.  Self-improvement (gym, books, skills) fuels real money-making—don't mimic entertainers' jokes as life advice; model their unseen discipline. Notable Quotes "An estimated 130 million U.S. adults read below a sixth grade level, which is about 54% of adults ages 16 to 74." "Low literacy is estimated to cost the US economy up to $2.2 trillion per year in lost productivity." "This is literally the process of learning... if I don't know what it means now, I'm not going to just magically learn it." "Why are the things that are most important to know the things that are most taboo to talk about?" "Read a book this year, and don't be a part of the 44% who are not." ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Host Dr. Tarryn McCarthy speaks directly to high-achieving healthcare professionals and dedicated women in dentistry who are used to pushing themselves harder than anyone else ever could. The same drive that builds successful careers often brings constant self-criticism, quiet guilt, and the pressure to always do more. She offers a perspective that reframes how high performers think about perfection, leadership, and the voice inside their own head. When that internal dialogue shifts, confidence, energy, and fulfillment begin to change with it.This episode is for the provider who shows up for everyone else but rarely extends that same grace to herself. Press play and politely inform your inner critic it is no longer running the practice.Show notes:(1:41) Why guilt and shame hurt growth(3:02) Self-criticism in dentistry and medicine(5:05) How perfectionism creates self-shame(8:33) Shame drains confidence and energy(13:07) Two leaders with different self-talk(19:12) Awareness and self-compassion practice(20:47) Outro________________IMPORTANT LINKS:Connect with Dr. MacCarthy:Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.comBook a call with Tarryn:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-callUnlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calmPlease join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.

When you're going through a rough time that's not the time to complain but a good time to recall Jesus' promise to come again! The end is near, and after we come to understand that, our response should be to pray, love, serve and live for God's glory! That's what we're to do in these last days, and it'll make a difference. Today on a Daily Walk we see what an end times' prayer life should look like. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

MAR. 3, 2026Embrace "the whole counsel of God""I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God." Ac 20:27 NKJVMore than a hundred years ago, William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, spoke prophetically when he said, "The chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell."That's as true now as it was then. Paul exhorted the leaders of the Ephesian church to declare, "The whole counsel of God." He said: "Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears" (vv. 28-31 NKJV). On the eve of his execution, Paul handed off the baton to his successor Timothy with these words: "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine...they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables...be watchful...fulfill your ministry" (2Ti 4:2-5 NKJV).Embrace "the whole counsel of God" Forgiveness without repentanceShare This DevotionalSend a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

We discuss his upcoming book ‘Find Your X Factor' which helps high performers escape impressive BUT draining careers. Comfort shares a 30+ year path that began after “meeting a guy,” spanning public and private sector transit leadership, county CEO roles in Maryland, and retiring as CEO of Baltimore's MTA before focusing on communication through his Transit Unplugged podcast (nearing 400 episodes in!). Connect with Paul: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulcomfort/https://www.instagram.com/paulwcomfort/http://www.youtube.com/@transitunpluggedFreebie assessment: https://findyourxfactor.ai/

Patty Riddle Kirshner, a Nebraska pastor and evangelist, shares how her life changed when COVID swept through her church in August 2020. Patty spent 83 days in four hospitals, over four weeks in a coma, suffered paralysis from the neck down, and died briefly from cardiac arrest. During that moment, she describes being in heaven's "glory," overwhelmed by God's presence, seeing an unusual sky color and things that stunned her. God told her she could stay or return; she chose to come back because there was more work to do.  After extensive rehabilitation, she recovered movement and a national news team welcomed her home. Tragically, she soon faced her husband Ronnie's glioblastoma diagnosis; he died in May 2021. Patty reflects on the anger, the grief, learning to live "in the moment," staying connected to community and church, starting the widows' group Embrace, and testifying that God remained faithful through suffering, loss, and renewed purpose.  00:00 A Glimpse of Glory  00:41 Meet Patty and Her Story  01:33 Life Before COVID  02:37 Symptoms and Denial  04:43 Hospitalization and Fear  07:20 Coma and Ventilator Fight  10:29 Heart Stops Heaven Visit  13:36 Choose to Stay or Go  14:48 Rehab Isolation and Fear  18:45 Recovery and Witnessing  20:41 Vision of Anointing  22:24 Husband's Fall and Diagnosis  24:17 Grief After Loss  25:58 Finding Hope Again  26:56 New Love And Calling  28:51 Hard Questions Anger  31:14 Staying In The Moment  33:22 Advice For Widows  36:20 Embrace Support Group  40:59 Knowing God Is Real  44:07 Haiti Prophetic Warning  45:20 Ministry Links And Prayer of blessing over listeners  Patty's facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/p/Evangelist-Patty-Riddle-100081176667734/  Patty's Website: https://www.womenunitedministry.com/

Julia Dault is an acclaimed Canadian abstract painter and sculptor whose work can be found in the Guggenheim Museum, Miami's Pérez Art Museum, the National Gallery of Canada, and many other notable galleries around the world. But after a midlife crisis, Julia shifted her focus away from international exhibits and toward the hyper-local. She sits down with guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about that change, and why she decided to open a community art studio in Toronto called Hot Pizza, built around a simple motto: art for everyone.

This week we're discussing every album by Squirrel Bait. Formed in Louisville in the early 80s, Squirrel Bait was a huge influence on what would eventually become emo. While their sound is far closer to Washington DC emo-core bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace, they made a significant impact within their short existence. Members of Squirrel Bait later went on to form Slint, Bastro, and Gastr Del Sol, among others.   [I realize at one point I accidentally say "Alex MacKaye" instead of "Alec." I'm sure there are other errors in this video, but that's the only one driving me crazy.]   Intro 00:00 Who Is Squirrel Bait? 2:21 "Squirrelbait Youth" 5:54 The First Demo 7:19 The Legend of Britt Walford 7:58 The Second Demo 11:27 How They Got Signed 14:38 Self-titled EP 19:56 Skag Heaven 24:54 How They Broke Up 30:42 What the Members Went on to Do 35:03 Closing Thoughts/Outro 37:04   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Join the Patreon, it rules: https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Mike's music: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   Tom Osman's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple, Website Podcast on Spotify, YouTube     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With this sacred eclipse, the sky opens a quiet doorway. A Virgo Blood Moon calls us into gentle purification, a soft unraveling of old patterns, heavy expectations, and the quiet pressure to be more, do more, fix more. In this meditation, we surrender what is complete, we release the inner critic and clear the inner temple. Under the moon glow, we renew, reconnecting to a steady, luminous line between heart and soul. I got to experience this first hand when I was supposed to host a live Moon Meditation event at Insight Timer today but managed to get myself locked out of the event at the start. With no possibility to get back in. If you were there waiting, I'm so sorry for this and happy to share the meditation here and now instead. A lesson in releasing that inner critic, expectations and old patterns. So come sit beneath the eclipse with me to let go, be cleansed and remember who you are! Remember the energy is here for you no matter when you listen to it. Embrace the change, embrace your purpose.

Today our pastor and teacher John Randall enters First Peter chapter four. The believers Peter is writing to were undergoing the worst persecution imaginable. And so he wanted to encourage and exhort them, and remind them of a few things too! These are words to cling to for the difficult times we're bound to face.

Sermon from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church

In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell confront one of the most difficult questions about hell: is it fair?  If we didn't ask to be born—and if we enter a fallen world where sin is inevitable—how can eternal judgment be just? Rather than repeating familiar answers, we examine the tension between biblical texts that seem to support everything from "double predestination" to "universalism" and everything in between to help make sense of the biblical portrayal of hope.      

Life has seasons.Sometimes you're competing.Sometimes you're rebuilding.Sometimes you're healing.And sometimes you're being forced to change whether you're ready or not.In this episode, Matt and Quan talk about embracing the offseason — the uncomfortable season where growth actually happens.From career setbacks and leadership challenges to faith, perspective shifts, and taking big swings in life, this conversation dives into what it really means to evolve.Because the truth is:You don't win championships during the season.You win them in the offseason.If you've ever felt stuck, overlooked, or uncertain about your next move — this one's for you.What season are you in right now?

Why aren't our babies sleeping? That's the question. But this episode isn't just about sleep. It's about leadership, ownership, energy, and what happens when a system that once worked starts slipping after a new variable is introduced. Sleep training is project management. Regression is iteration. Exhaustion changes your standards. We talk about: ·       Why knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it ·       How depletion impacts decision making ·       Ownership vs resentment ·       Redefining "done" when circumstances change ·       Why you shouldn't make system decisions when you're exhausted Whether you're leading a household, a team, or yourself, the lesson is the same: Step back. Lay it out. Define the next iteration. Then execute — rested. Embrace the blind spot.

This gentle, heart-opening meditation is designed to help you release the past and step confidently into a new chapter. Through calming breathwork, grounding awareness, and guided reflection, you'll let go of old patterns, welcome fresh opportunities, and reconnect with your inner strength. This practice nurtures clarity, courage, and hope—empowering you to move forward with intention, trust, and a renewed sense of possibility.  Join me for Live Meditations, Courses, and more on the free Insight Timer app. Join the Waitlist for the Online 12 Week Meditation Teacher Training.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman reminds us that God and his ways are beyond our intellectual capacity to understand, and to walk with him, we need to learn to embrace mystery.
