Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this powerful message from Luke 11:1-13, Pastor Benjamin explores the revolutionary truth that God actually loves to be bothered by His children. When Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray, His response reveals three foundational truths about our relationship with the Father that will transform how we approach prayer forever. Many believers struggle with prayer because they fundamentally misunderstand God's heart toward them. We often view Him as distant, annoyed by our constant needs, or too busy with global crises to care about our personal struggles. This sermon dismantles those misconceptions by examining Jesus' parable of the persistent friend and His teaching on the Lord's Prayer. Through relatable illustrations about parenting and childhood boldness, Pastor Benjamin demonstrates that God desires us to approach Him with the same audacious confidence that children show toward loving parents. The message unpacks three life-changing truths about God's character. First, God genuinely loves to be bothered by our prayers and requests. Unlike earthly relationships where we must earn access or worry about overstepping boundaries, our heavenly Father has purchased our access through Christ and invites bold, persistent prayer. Second, God wants to give us Himself through the Holy Spirit, not just fix our circumstances. While we often focus on getting God to solve our problems, He offers something far greater in His very presence and companionship through difficulty. Third, through Christ we are adopted sons and daughters, not slaves or employees trying to earn God's favor. Using the acronym PAUSE, this practical teaching walks through Jesus' model prayer in Luke 11, showing how to Praise His name, Acknowledge His reign, Understand your need and ask, Seek forgiveness and extend it, and Embrace your dependence on God. This isn't about formula prayers but about understanding our relationship as beloved children who can confidently approach their Father's throne of grace. Whether you're new to prayer or have struggled with feeling distant from God, this message will encourage you to approach Him with childlike boldness, knowing He delights in your requests and longs to give you the greatest gift of all - Himself. The sermon includes practical application and concludes with a powerful time of corporate prayer, demonstrating that prayer is both personal and communal in the life of believers.

If you've ever come back from a holiday feeling behind, overwhelmed, or like you've completely lost momentum with your goals—this one's for you.In this episode, I'm sharing how to actually enjoy your summer without falling off the wagon. Whether it's your fitness routine, your business strategy, your career ambitions, or your personal habits—summer doesn't have to mean chaos, guilt or pressing pause.

Good old-fashioned meat from livestock is enjoying renewed popularity, a shift in the zeitgeist fueled by consumers' demand for simpler, more natural, and less- or unprocessed food products. Add to that a social backlash against plant-based meat substitutes, and a renewed connection in people's minds between meat and masculinity. Meat advocates and companies no doubt are enjoying the break from years of unrelenting criticism.But don't get too comfortable. According to MeatingPod guest Kevin Ryan, owner of Malachite Strategy and Research, meat companies are looking at a lot of upside in the market right now, but risk overplaying their hand if they lean too heavily on the trend. As an anthropologist and food scientist, Kevin takes the long view on how social changes affect how we eat. There are plenty of lessons for meat processors in what he has to say.

The UN's top climate diplomat is in Australia, and is urging Australia to aim high when it reveals its carbon emissions reduction target later this year. But it's an issue heavily coated in politics.... and not the only climate change related issue Australia is dealing with right now..

In this scathing and soul-punching episode, Todd eulogizes more than just Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan—he autopsies America's descent into ideological fundamentalism. What do woke mobs, medieval witch trials, and Facebook shares have in common? The answer: moral certitude without grace. Todd dissects how modern ideological tribes—particularly on the Left—have replaced traditional religion with secular dogma, complete with martyrs, heresies, rituals, and catechisms. Using Hulk Hogan's post-mortem cancellation as a case study, he exposes how one taboo word now carries more social weight than actual violence, rape, or corruption. The result? A society where redemption is off the table, and performance is king. From Ozzy's “The Ultimate Sin” to McLuhan's media warnings, this episode drips with unfiltered cynicism and cultural excommunication. If you've ever wondered how virtue-signaling replaced virtue—or why dissent now threatens belonging more than reason—don't miss this blistering analysis. Recorded in Southwest Michigan.

The Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City has become the darling of the party. He's young, personable, good looking with an electric smile. He's also a Muslim; and if he wins the general election, he will be the first to lead a major U.S. city. But he's also a socialist, a Marxist that may take the Democratic party even further to the left. But for many watching the political process unfold, there's the question of whether to be more concerned about his religious beliefs or his politics. It has been twenty four years since the 9/11 attacks, when radical Islamists aligned with Al-Qaeda committed the worst terrorist act on U.S. soil. For many New Yorkers, Mamdani, who was 9 years old at the time, is a possible extension of the worst Islam has to offer. But for others, it signals the victory of humanity and the power to forgive, along with the warning of never to paint with the proverbial broad brush of any one race or religion. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, best-selling author and founder of Embrace the Truth, Abdu Murray, takes on the Mamdani question. Murray grew up as a devout Muslim but now is an apologist for Christianity. His foundation answers people's questions about Christianity and religion in the public square.  He explains why Mamdani appears more of a cultural Muslim than someone who embraces the faith. But that may not matter to the three quarters of a million Muslims who live in the Big Apple. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

You Guys! I was so excited to answer these questions. I love my hobbies so much!!  Right now, travel is a hobby I want to focus on. Greg asked me why I am taking these adult fieldtrips alone? It feeds me. I encourage my family to follow their interests and develop their skills within their hobbies. I am starting to pour into myself like I always have for my family members and I think everyone should do the same, especially the household manager.  Scrapbooking & Photos Disclaimer: I am a hands on scrapbooker. If you are looking for digital suggestions, I am not your guru. Creative Memories was one of the first direct sales companies I worked for. Anna and I discovered that her mom, Donna, was THE creator of the power layouts for scrapbooking specific to Creative Memories. I taught this system to all my customers and little Anna was the one counting all the chipboards that were going into the boxes that I had ordered!! There were questions about sorting, storage, getting started, and product recommendations.  I learned a lot about storage of photos, how the containers matter, and the books you place those precious pictures in matter too. I stand by Creative Memories to this day because of their quality and I am actually still a consultant with them!  The first thing you need to identify is why you want to scrapbook and then you can make an action plan from there. One lady said there were pictures everywhere and how was she going to get them organized quickly because she needed her guest room to be functional soon. I recommend a bulk sort at this stage. Start sorting by decade and go from there because it will take awhile to get all those pictures in albums anyway!  There is a whole section on photo organization in the Saving Your Story Photo Organization Program. Make sure you are journaling to capture why those pictures are important. And then I suggested a few ways you could document pictures quicker and have completed albums.  Books, Audio, and Journaling I don't journal too much but what I may consider journaling is summer time when I think about future ideas. And this is where Embrace came from. I think about the future and who I currently am and where I am going in my personal life and professionally.  I've shared that there was that time when I decided “If it was to be it was up to me.” And that was the catalyst for being mindful of my attitude and what I consume. I make sure to always be consuming content about influential people, presidents, inventors, and the like; this helps me to stay future oriented. Anna also pointed out how one of Organize 365®'s core values is the Power of Positivity. It's a focus for me and my business.  I am a life long learner and I love my books. I am such a compulsive book buyer that even when I couldn't really afford books I would buy them anyway I just can't help myself. I let Marie Kondo talk me into tossing out a bunch of books and boy do I regret getting rid of those books. I've realized I am not a minimalist and I love revisiting my books.  The best way for me to suggest some great reads is through the podcast. I spent a whole year recommending books. And I guess those are my top 52 recommendations. Take the time to live in your hobbies and fill your hobby cup as you fill everyone else's.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® Saving Your Story Photo Organization Program The Productive Home Solution™ January 2020 Book Reviews (You Tube) (check out the following 11 months for additional book reviews) Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

In this engaging episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee shares a captivating story about his attempt to start a fire during a stay in the Ozarks. Through his experience, Baylor explores the importance of perseverance, adaptability, and the power of breaking down large goals into manageable tasks. The episode serves as an allegory for personal and professional development, demonstrating that even seemingly simple goals can offer valuable lessons. Baylor emphasizes that achieving big dreams requires small, deliberate steps—just like starting a fire with twigs before moving on to logs. He highlights the significance of preparation and starting with the basics, encouraging listeners to embrace challenges, learn from failures, and keep pursuing their goals despite occasional setbacks. Baylor offers motivational insights and actionable advice, inspiring his audience to approach their aspirations with a balanced view of present tasks and future ambitions. The episode ends with a humorous anecdote about a wilderness encounter, making for an entertaining and educational segment. Key Takeaways: Achieving major goals involves breaking them down into smaller, manageable steps. Embrace the learning process; being willing to look foolish at first can lead to success. Stay committed to your objectives, even in the face of difficulty or initial failure. Balance focus between immediate actions (near-sighted) and long-term goals (far-sighted). Identify and leverage a personal “catalyst” to maintain motivation and drive progress. Notable Quotes: "In life, it's better to be embarrassed trying to hit a goal than to spend your entire life thinking, well, I'm not going to try because what if I fail?" "Big goals are the result of doing the small things well." "You have to find a catalyst when you have that goal. This is what I want to accomplish." "Think near and farsighted at the same time. And finally, you have to find a catalyst." "Just commit to the goal... there's different trails, different paths. You don't have to have it figured out."

What does it really take to lead yourself through fear, uncertainty, and growth? In this powerful episode, we explore the science and soul of bravery with Jill Schulman—a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, keynote speaker, and expert in applied positive psychology. Jill shares her own journey from the military to corporate leadership, and ultimately entrepreneurship, where she discovered that bravery isn't about being fearless—it's about taking action while you're afraid. We unpack how fear shows up in business, why bravery is a muscle you can build, and the small mindset shifts that create big transformation over time. This episode is packed with science-backed strategies, real talk, and empowering takeaways for any entrepreneur, coach, or leader who wants to stretch into their next brave move. Jill is the founder of Breakthrough Leadership Group and author of the upcoming book, The Science of Bravery—a practical and inspiring guide to overcoming fear and achieving courageous leadership in all areas of life.

Summary:In this episode, reflecting on life's turning points, Sandy encourages listeners to embrace change and trust the unfolding journey, emphasizing the potential in transitions. Sandy shares and discusses the importance of creating an authentic and human experience in teaching yoga, emphasizing the role of a teacher as a facilitator rather than a performer.Key Takeaways:Teaching is about inviting others into the freedom to be themselves.

Episode 239How We Embrace Our PastSensers! Relationships come and go, but what about your actions and contributions are you not so proud of looking back? I've had some time since the last one I entered years ago and I find growth in looking at your part in the destruction of those relationships. Love conquers all right? I also have a bridge in Jacksonville to sell you. I just believe there's more to it than the dream we were sold growing up through the Matrix. I believe in love just not how it was presented to me. There's more to being a man when it comes to being respected in a place where love is given.  I believe in the notion that we ignore red flags when we have a crush on someone. We all have ignored some draining shit when dealing with a person we were attracted to. Attraction can be interesting at times. I've grown to learn from some of the mistakes that led me to toxic personalities and finding peace in my life. It's on-going but staying the course as I gMay God and His Universe remove any negative energy you may have stored from reading this. If you dig the episode, click, like, and share on your page.

The fog of uncertainty isn't a weakness in our religious experience—it's the proving ground of our most profound faith. Moses spoke to the tribal leaders with a unique clarity of prophecy, using the phrase "Zeh hadavar" (this is precisely what God said). But as Rashi teaches us, this perfect clarity was reserved only for Moshe. All other prophets received divine messages with some ambiguity, expressed as "Koh amar Hashem" (thus says the Lord). This distinction reveals a profound spiritual truth that transforms our understanding of faith itself.Rabbi Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman, the Ponevich Rav, found strength in this teaching after losing his family in the Holocaust. He pointed to Abraham's binding of Isaac as the ultimate example of faith, not because Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son, but because he proceeded despite overwhelming confusion. Nothing made sense. How could God promise Abraham descendants through Isaac, then command him to sacrifice that very son? Yet Abraham's response was, "Neilcha ad koh" (let us go to koh). This "koh" represents not just a physical place but a spiritual state of uncertainty where faith thrives without understanding.While we often celebrate stories where everything "works out" and makes sense in retrospect, the highest level of faith is found in continuing to trust God when Nothing seems to add up. When faced with inexplicable suffering—children dying young, righteous people suffering, evil seemingly triumphant—we don't need to torture ourselves seeking explanations. True spiritual maturity means acknowledging the limits of our understanding while maintaining unshakable trust. Perhaps this is what God meant when promising Abraham "Koh yihyeh zarecha" (so shall your offspring be)—that his descendants would inherit not just numbers matching the stars, but this profound capacity for faith amid uncertainty. Embrace the holy haze, walk toward "koh," and discover the most profound connection with the divine precisely where understanding ends.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!

Life. It's a funny thing, isn't it? Just when you think you've got it figured out, something shifts. The "Personal Mastery Alliance" recently delved into this very idea, exploring why life's constant change isn't something to fear, but something to embrace. They call it "soul food"—nourishment for your inner self, helping you navigate the ever-flowing river of existence. Key Takeaways: Your Guide to Personal Mastery You're Never Stuck: Imagine water in a river—it's always moving, always fresh. That's you! The person you are today is temporary, and so is your current situation. This means you're always free to change your mind, your body, your income, or your relationships. You're never truly trapped. Seize the Moment: Since everything is always shifting, it creates a sense of urgency to be present. Appreciate the good things and people in your life now, because nothing is guaranteed forever. Every moment is a gift to truly soak in and live. Shed What Doesn't Serve You: Growing isn't just about adding new things; it's often about letting go of what holds you back. Think of a butterfly leaving its cocoon or a mighty tree breaking out of a tiny seed. Old beliefs (like outdated cultural norms or habits) can keep you stuck. To grow, you've got to challenge them and be willing to shed the "shell" of your past. Struggle Builds Strength: The path to change isn't always easy. Just as a butterfly has to fight its way out of the cocoon to strengthen its wings, struggle is essential for your growth. Don't shy away from challenges; they're the very things that make you stronger and more resilient. Look Forward to What's Next: Instead of dreading aging or fearing the unknown, embrace the future with excitement. If you invest in your health and finances, each new decade can be a positive journey. Being adaptable means you can be the "best version" of yourself at every stage of life, not trying to cling to a past version.   Ultimately, the message is clear: change is the only constant. By understanding this fundamental truth and actively working on yourself, you can transform challenges into opportunities and live a life of greater freedom and purpose. What "old habits" are you ready to shed to embrace your next level of growth?

Do you ever feel like you're not qualified to lead your daughter spiritually? Maybe you didn't grow up with strong faith role models, maybe you struggle to read Scripture consistently, or maybe you're overwhelmed by the thought of answering your child's deep questions about God. If so—you're not alone. And this episode is for you.  This week on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden offer real talk and reassuring truth for every mom who feels inadequate when it comes to spiritual leadership. Together, they tackle the lie that says “you're not equipped” and replace it with God's truth: if He called you to it, He will carry you through it. You don't need to be a Bible scholar to disciple your daughter—you just need a willing heart and the faith to take the next step.  Drawing from personal stories, Scripture, and relatable insight, Rachael and Melissa unpack how to lead your home in faith while learning and growing yourself. They remind listeners that spiritual formation isn't a performance—it's a relationship. And the best discipleship doesn't happen in perfect devotionals, but in everyday moments of honesty, humility, and love.  In this episode, you'll be encouraged to:  Trust that God chose you on purpose to raise your daughter—and He doesn't make mistakes  Embrace discipleship as a journey you walk with your child, not something you have to master beforehand  Find your voice as a spiritual leader by speaking truth out loud and modeling dependence on God  Build confidence through community, mentorship, and resources like AHG curriculum and the Raising Godly Girls Guide to Biblical Worldview  Let go of the pressure to “have it all together,” and instead, learn the beauty of being a co-learner in God's Word    Scriptures Referenced:  Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way she should go…”  Deuteronomy 6:6–7 – “Impress [these commands] on your children…”  Ephesians 5:1–2 – “Be imitators of God… and walk in love…”  It's okay if you don't have all the answers. What matters most is showing up with humility, pointing your daughter to Jesus, and trusting that God's grace fills every gap. In fact, the moments when you feel the weakest may be the very places where your daughter sees the strength of Christ most clearly.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

 Rabbi Aharon Zulberg from Johannesburg, South Africa, like so many other Jews worldwide (and other very fine people, think of Dr. Julie Snyder from Beaufort, SC who jumped into action when she heard that knee pads were needed for soldiers – featured in our podcast “An Outpouring of Kindness” at the time the October 7 War broke out) wish to contribute to those affected by the war in Israel. Rabbi Zulberg is a pragmatist and he realized that South African Jewry, with a weak currency could not compete with North American and European communities. Still, he and so many others wished to help and do something, so a collection of items to be sent to those most-impacted in Israel was assembled and dispatched.

What if our relentless drive to be better than others is quietly breaking us?Miroslav Volf unpacks the core themes of his 2025 book, The Cost of Ambition: How Striving to Be Better Than Others Makes Us Worse. In this book, Volf offers a penetrating critique of comparison culture, diagnosing the hidden moral and spiritual wounds caused by competition and superiority.Drawing on Scripture, theology, philosophy, literature, and our culture's obsession with competition and superiority, Volf challenges our assumptions about ambition and identity—and presents a deeply humanizing vision of life rooted not in being “the best,” but in receiving ourselves as creatures made and loved by God.From Milton's depiction of Satan to Jesus' descent in Philippians 2, from the architectural rivalry of ancient Byzantium to modern Olympic anxieties, Volf invites us to imagine a new foundation for personal and social flourishing: a life free from striving, rooted in love and grace.Highlights“The key here is for us to come to appreciate, affirm, and—importantly—love ourselves. Love ourselves unconditionally.”“Striving for superiority devalues everything we have, if it doesn't contribute to us being better than someone else.”“The inverse of striving for superiority is internal plague by inferiority.”“In Jesus, we see that God's glory is not to dominate but to lift up what is low.”“We constantly compare to feel good about ourselves, and end up unsure of who we are.”“We have been given to ourselves by God—our very existence is a gift, not a merit.”Helpful Links and ResourcesVisit faith.yale.edu/ambition to get a 40-page PDF Discussion Guide and Full Access to 7 videosThe Cost of Ambition by Miroslav Volf (Baker Academic, May 2025)Philippians 2:5–11 (NIV) – Christ's Humility and Exaltation – BibleGatewayRomans 12:10 – “Outdo one another in showing honor” – BibleHubParadise Lost by John Milton – Project GutenbergParadise Regained by John Milton – Project GutenbergShow NotesOpening Reflections on CompetitionThe conversation begins with Volf recalling a talk he gave at the Global Congress on Christianity & Sports.He uses athletic competition—highlighting Lionel Messi—as a lens for questioning the moral value of striving to be better than others.“Sure, competition pulls people up—but it also familiarizes us with inferiority.”“We compare ourselves to feel good… but end up feeling worse.”Introduces the story of Justinian and Hagia Sophia: “Oh Solomon, I have outdone you.”Rivalry, Power, and InsecurityShares the backstory of Juliana's competing church and the gold-ceiling arms race with Justinian.“Religious architecture became a battlefield of status.”Draws insight from these historic rivalries as examples of how ambition pervades religious life—not just secular.Modern Parallels: Yale Students's & the Rat RaceVolf notes how even Yale undergrads—once top of their class—feel insecure in comparison to peers.“They arrive and suddenly their worth plummets. That's insane.”The performance-driven culture makes stable identity nearly impossible.Biblical Illustration: Kierkegaard's LilyVolf recounts Kierkegaard's retelling of Jesus's lily parable.A bird whispers to the little lily that it's not beautiful enough, prompting the lily to uproot itself—and wither.“The lesson: we are destined to lose ourselves when our value depends on comparison.”Intrinsic Value and the Image of God“We need to discover the intrinsic value of who we are as creatures made in the image of God.”Kierkegaard and Jesus both show us the beauty of ‘mere humanity.'“You are more glorious in your humanity than Solomon in his robes.”Theological Anthropology and Grace“We have been given to ourselves by God—our lives are a gift.”“We owe so much to luck, to others, to God. So how can we boast?”Paul's challenge in 1 Corinthians: “What do you have that you have not received?”Milton and Satan's AmbitionShifts to Paradise Lost: Satan rebels because he can't bear not being top.“Even what is beautiful becomes devalued if it doesn't prove superiority.”In Paradise Regained, Satan tempts Jesus to be the greatest—but Jesus refuses.Christ's Humility and Downward GloryHighlights Philippians 2: Jesus “emptied himself… took the form of a servant.”“God's glory is not domination—it's lifting up the lowly.”“Salvation comes not through seizing status, but through relinquishing it.”Paul's Vision of Communal HonorRomans 12:10: “Outdo one another in showing honor.”“True honor comes not from climbing over others, but from lifting them up.”Connects this ethic to Paul's vision of church as an egalitarian body.God's Care for Creation and HumanityLuther's observation: God calls Earth good but not Heaven—“God cares more for our home than his own.”“We are called to emulate God's loving attention to the least.”Striving vs. AcceptanceVolf contrasts ambition with love: “The inverse of striving for superiority is the plague of inferiority.”Encourages unconditional self-love as a reflection of God's love.Uses image of a parent greeting a newborn: “You've arrived.”A Vision for Healed Culture“We wreck others in our pursuit of superiority—and we leave them wounded in our wake.”The gospel reveals a better way: not performance, but grace.“Our salvation and our culture's healing lie in the humility of Jesus.”“We must rediscover the beauty of our mere humanity.”About Miroslav VolfMiroslav Volf is the founding director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture and the Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School. One of the leading public theologians of our time, he is the author of numerous books including Exclusion and Embrace, Flourishing, A Public Faith, Life Worth Living, and most recently, The Cost of Ambition.
