Podcasts about embracing

Here's your invitation to slow down, tune in, and truly support yourself through the midlife transition.  Because all the changes in menopause, emotionally and physically, can seriously rock your identity.  That's why I've invited mindfulness expert Rosie Acosta on the podcast to explore the intersection of mindfulness and menopause, and how being in a community with other women can make this season of life feel less isolating and so much more empowering.  Rosie shares how anxiety can become a messenger to your body rather than an enemy, and offers simple breathing techniques so you can feel grounded anytime, anywhere.  Together, we redefine what womanhood and wellness look like in midlife and beyond—more connected and more intentional than ever. Listen now to feel seen and inspired on your midlife journey! Rosie Acosta Rosie Acosta is a mindfulness teacher at Headspace and author of You Are Radically Loved: A Healing Journey to Self-Love. With over 20 years of study and a decade of teaching, she's led transformative retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings worldwide. A devoted advocate for equity and intergenerational healing, she volunteers with the Re-Evolution Prison Project and is earning her Master's in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine. She's also the host of The Radically Well Podcast.  IN THIS EPISODE What relationships and community in midlife should look like  How to use mindfulness to support changes in menopause  Mindful ways to manage anxiety rather than fighting against it The uptick in early perimenopause and autoimmune disorders  Using mindfulness to shift the menopause narrative   What radical love looks like for a woman in midlife  Embracing change and your evolving identity in menopause  About Rosie's Book: You Are Radically Loved QUOTES “As a perimenopause expert, it's like a moving target. Something that worked one day might not work the next. I think if I had to give the people listening right now just one technique that works, it's learning how to use your breath to ground, to create safety even if it's just for a couple of minutes.” “I think the more that we have conversations like this, the more normalized it will become, and the more normalized having these conversations will become. It gives us the empowerment and the invitation to ask questions, to ask our doctors to do the right types of tests, to get different opinions, to explore.” “Radical love to me means embracing the whole of who you are.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Rosie's book: YOU ARE RADICALLY LOVED https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Radically-Loved-Self-Love/dp/0593330153 Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get $100 off on your first CAROL Bike order https://carolbike.pxf.io/GK3LaE Rosie on Instagram Rosie Acosta on Substack Check out Rosie's Podcast: The Radically Well Podcast  RELATED EPISODES #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey #692: Why Emotional Healing is Hormone Healing-The New Path to Midlife Empowerment with Ashley Turner  #565: How to Live in a State of Ease and Flow vs. Overwhelm and Resentment + Reclaiming Your Aliveness with Alexi Panos #598: Break the Cycle of Burnout, Anxiety, and Fear by Tapping into Heart Coherence with Kimberly Snyder

Clinical psychologist Dr. Amanda Hanson wants to dispel that myth.  We'll talk about the importance of embracing your feminine energy, finding the courage to surrender within your relationships, tangible steps you can take to cultivate deeper self love, and the importance of getting curious when you're feeling triggered.  Connect with Dr. Hanson:  Instagram @midlife.muse www.amandahanson.com Get The Disengaging Without Disconnecting Masterclass www.jamiescrimgeour.com/disengaging  Work With Me. www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching  Get My Ebook -  120 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook  Episode Sponsors:  LMNT | My Go To Electrolyte Drink.

Time management for lawyers isn't just a productivity hack, it's the key to freedom. What if you could take around 200 days off a year without your firm collapsing, and actually increase law firm profitability in the process? That's exactly what Arizona probate, trust, and estate litigator Attorney Kent Berk has pulled off. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life., Kent joins Steve to share how he went from overwhelmed and burned out, ready to walk away from his law practice, to leading a focused, profitable firm built on smart law firm business strategy and intentional law firm leadership. You'll hear how coaching, accountability, and a handful of mindset shifts helped him protect his time, reduce stress, and drive serious law firm growth. Steve and Kent break down the operational side of that transformation: revamping human resources, tightening law firm hiring practices, building an in-house training engine with AI-driven modules and real assessments, and aligning compensation with clear KPIs. With support from Practice Advisor Daniel Struna and the Atticus team, Kent redesigned his law firm operations so his team can train, make decisions, and move cases forward even when he's not in the office. From rethinking compensation structures and productivity metrics to embracing healthy conflict as a leadership tool, Kent's story is a practical blueprint for attorneys who want to step into a more intentional role, whether that's CEO, marketing director, or true firm leader. He shows how grit, clarity, boundaries, and a strong law firm culture can lead to exceptional client experiences and a life you actually enjoy. Whether you're overwhelmed or simply ready for your practice to support a better life, this episode delivers concrete strategies for attorney success, healthier law firm management, and meaningful, sustainable change.   In this episode, you will hear: Kent Berk's transition from burnout to a balanced, profitable legal practice Strategies for reducing stress through delegation, in-house training, and AI-enhanced operations The importance of a growth-oriented mindset and redefining roles within a law firm Enhancing firm efficiency by refining human resources, aligning compensation with performance, and leveraging technology How to connect traditional pricing models with clear productivity metrics to improve financial performance Embracing conflict and mistakes as opportunities for team growth and improvement The benefits of taking significant time off to enhance creativity, focus, and firm profitability   Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with artist Beeple as Art Basel Miami Beach approaches its 2025 edition. Beeple discusses what it was like to experience the explosive rise of NFTs from the inside, how the digital art market has matured since that initial boom, and whether collectors, curators, and institutions are now engaging with the medium in a more thoughtful and sustainable way. The conversation also explores Art Basel's new Zero 10 section, a long-term commitment to presenting digital art, Beeple's involvement in shaping its debut, the evolving role of galleries for digital artists, and a preview of the new work he will show in Miami.

This week Karen follows on from the conversation she had about learning to evaluate your perfumes. She covers something that is done as a matter of course in the industry. It's something a lot of people, especially when they're new, don't really get - making more than one version of your fragrance. Or, in industry terms, making a mod. Karen explains why learning to be patient and tweaking your perfume gradually is an essential skillset and how to perfect the art of iteration. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Feeling disappointed with your first perfume draft is normal; instead of interpreting your setbacks as a lack of talent, treat each version as a learning step that even experienced perfumers face. Change only one element at a time and refrain from altering your original batch. Record each change and its impact on a spreadsheet so you can clearly track what makes things better or makes things worse. If you reach a creative block after many iterations, it's fine to set a project aside and return later with a fresh perspective. Sometimes, solutions only emerge with time and new experience. Perfumery is a journey of constant learning and self-improvement. Make use of community resources and classes as needed, and keep up the habit of practice and iteration. BEST MOMENTS  “The truth is nobody makes a perfect perfume in one go….you are creating your first draft.” “Without a clear direction (a brief) you are not going to be able to evaluate anything - if you can't evaluate it, you are not going to be able to improve it.” “The whole point of creating mods, or iterations of a fragrance, is comparison.” VALUABLE RESOURCES In-Person Classes: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/studio-classes Fragrance For Skincare Course: https://www.onlineperfumeschool.com/creating-fragrance-for-skincare-products-online-course Last week´s evaluating your perfume episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/evaluating-your-fragrances-how-to-judge-your-scent/id1693602939?i=1000738045728 Getting Started Guide: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/podcast-getting-started-guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/artisan-perfumery-mastermind ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way.  Karen has inspired thousands of students to explore their olfactory sense and create their own personalised fragrances.

Today we're talking about the rise of independent hype watches. Until very recently, as we've discussed on this podcast, independent watchmaking was something of a backwater of the watch industry or at best the realm of the cognoscenti. But in recent years, creations from the likes of MB&F, Simon Brette, Rexhep Rexhepi and today's guest Sylvain Berneron have become objects of desire, cutthroat demand and even speculation. How did it get this way? What are the drivers? And what role do the brands and watchmakers themselves play in the economy of hype? Our guest is Sylvain Berneron, a French-born industrial and fine-arts trained designer who, after early roles in automotive design at BMW, moved into the watch world — spending five years at Breitling (ultimately as Chief Product Officer) and earlier working for the Richemont Group on brands such as IWC and Jaeger‑LeCoultre. In 2022 Sylvain founded his independent brand Berneron (based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland) and launched the Mirage collection, noted for its all-gold movement, shaped asymmetric case. And this summer, he unveiled his second collection, the Quantième Annuel. Both collections are highly limited – variants are produced in just 24 units each annually. Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology, Openwork goes inside the watch industry. You can find us online at collectivehorology.com.

In this episode, Colleen pulls the curtain back on overwhelm and names it for what it really is: a trauma response living in your nervous system, not a personal failing or lack of willpower. She walks through the five stages your body moves through when the demands on you exceed your capacity, and why trying to "push through" that wall only drives you deeper into shutdown. Instead of treating overwhelm as something to beat, Colleen shows you how to use it as a litmus test that tells you exactly when to stop, step back, and tend to your nervous system first. You'll learn a simple five-minute reset practice you can use anytime you feel yourself hit the wall, so you can move forward from compassion instead of self-criticism.

Good Distinctions is back! I've taken the last year or so off as I drafted my dissertation. It is now complete and awaiting feedback from my advisor… I'll make sure to post when I'm DOCTOR Wright… but not yet.This episode is my first after a year off from recording. The podcast is OFF Airplane Mode! I will not be posting often, to be honest. I'm only seeking out interviews that really, truly interest me. I've loved speaking with every guest I've had on the show, but the pace was a bit breakneck, to be honest. So, I'll be curating the conversations a bit more.It was a real pleasure having a conversation with T.J. Burdick on technology, AI, human nature, parenting, and more. I hope you'll give it a listen.Here is the article on Catholic Exchange that we discussed: https://catholicexchange.com/are-you-smarter-than-ai/And here is a link to T.J.'s book Detached: Put Your Phone in Its Place (OSV, 2018): https://www.tjburdick.com/detached/Who is T.J.? (From his Substack)I'm a writer of both fiction and nonfiction whose primary lens is through the Catholic faith. I'm not a radtrad, nor a liberal lefty– I strive for the middle path… which doesn't sell many books

In this episode of ‘Connecting the Diocese,’ we welcome Bishop Gerard Battersby of the Diocese of La Crosse to discuss the significance of Advent.

Faith is the key to being unstoppable, no matter what life challenges you face. Many struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the need for control. These challenges often arise from emotional neglect or personal trauma. They create a cycle that feels impossible to break. Understanding that you are not alone in this struggle is crucial. Knowing that you can rely on your faith as a source of strength can be transformative. Finding Freedom in Faith When life feels overwhelming, faith offers liberation. It's about embracing Jesus and letting the Holy Spirit guide you. This reliance can make you truly unstoppable. Faith empowers and provides peace in life's chaos. It reminds you of your intrinsic worth and identity beyond societal pressures. Breaking Free from Fear Fear often binds us, leading to anxiety and self-doubt. Faith teaches us that we weren't created with fear but with power and love. As you shift your focus from fear to trusting God's plan, your perception of life's burdens changes. Leaning into your faith helps ground emotions and find stability. The Healing Journey: A Path to Being Unstoppable Healing is neither linear nor simple; it involves peeling back layers of pain. This journey, though painful, eventually leads to freedom. God requires us to engage actively, taking courageous steps toward healing. The process demands resilience, but on the other side, you emerge stronger and unstoppable. Community and Support: Essential for Transformation Often, our struggles obscure our view of our worth and potential. Alongside faith, community plays a vital role. Sharing stories of transformation and faith can offer encouragement. They show that renewal and freedom are possible. Being part of a supportive community strengthens resolve and provides a sense of belonging. Letting Go to Discover Your True Self Releasing past burdens allows self-discovery. As God works in your life, you realize you are enough as you are. Embrace your uniqueness with confidence. Aligning with God's purpose enables you to live authentically and be unstoppable. Faith transforms lives by replacing insecurity with purpose. Embracing faith leads you to liberation, making you truly unstoppable in facing life's challenges.

Join Dr. Edith Davis as she continues her critical discussion on unity in the body of Christ, tackling the challenge of a diverse population, numerous denominations, and internal conflict. God is preparing His Church, His bride, for His return—a Church purified, "without spot, without wrinkle, without blemish." This process, she explains, requires the Church to emulate the first-century believers: becoming unified and single-minded through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Davis shares personal experiences and powerful biblical examples to illustrate the necessary steps for transformation. The keys to becoming unified and focused include: -- Embracing the Command to Love: While "sheep bite" and inflict wounds, we are commanded to love one another, even those who hurt us. -- Refusing to Be Offended: Being offended or taking up the offense of others is a blocker that hinders God's flow through His human vessels. -- Maintaining Single-Minded Focus: Like Mary, the sister of Lazarus, we must sit at Jesus's feet and remain focused on Him, not scattered like Martha. -- Forsaking the Past: Like Ruth, we must be willing to leave behind our old culture, gods, and life to follow the Lord completely. -- Prioritizing God's Presence over Kingdom: Like King David, who valued God's presence above his kingdom, our greatest desire must be for the Lord Himself. Scriptures for Further Study -- Ruth 1:16 -- Matthew 26:6-13 (Mary anointing Jesus) -- Esther 4:16 -- 2 Samuel 11-12 (David and Bathsheba) This is episode 382. +++++++ Check out my new website: https://www.enterthegloryzone.org/ MY AUDIO BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE You can Divorce Proof Your Marriage by understanding the Secret Keys of Love.

In this inspiring episode, Michael welcomes leadership expert, author, and advocate Hacia Atherton to discuss her remarkable journey of reinvention, resilience, and impact. Hacia shares how a profound sense of peace during a 2023 visit led her to relocate from Australia to Florida. Her decision was shaped by speaking engagements, meeting her publisher, falling in love, and listening deeply to her own intuition as she entered a new chapter of life. Through her work with Empowered Women in Trades, she encourages others to embrace transitions with courage and authenticity. From Trauma to Triumph Through Positivity Hacia opens up about the devastating equestrian accident that left her with multiple fractures and nerve damage, and the powerful healing journey that followed. Drawing from positive psychology, she transformed her experience into a mission to help others thrive in their careers and lives. Michael relates through his own health scare, a heart attack at age 40, and they discuss how gratitude, mindset, and resilience can reshape recovery and fuel a renewed purpose. Women in Trades: Breaking Barriers and Building Pathways The conversation dives into Hacia's deep connection to the trades, shaped by her upbringing in a family plumbing business. After a welding accident first introduced her to the field, she realized the potential for women to thrive in these roles. Hacia identifies the barriers many women face entering trades careers and explains her work in bridging the gap between employers and female candidates. Her insights highlight the importance of industry awareness, supportive workplace cultures, and empowering women to step confidently into male-dominated fields. Leadership, Culture, and Hacia's New Book Michael and Hacia explore the themes in her new book, "The Billion Dollar Blind Spot," which examines workplace culture and how it impacts retention, engagement, and overall performance. They discuss what it means to lead with empathy, positivity, and psychological safety, especially within industries where women have historically been underrepresented. Hacia reflects on her personal leadership journey and the importance of cultivating environments where everyone feels valued. The episode also touches on her excitement about experiencing her first Thanksgiving in the United States.

Happy Thanksgiving! While our team is off for the holiday, we want to take this opportunity to revisit our conversation with Commissioner Lesley Briones from Harris County, TX. Host Ryan Coonerty and Briones explain her role representing the third-largest county in the country with a population larger than 26 U.S. states and 34 cities. They discuss her journey as a Harvard and Yale Law School graduate who became a public school teacher and then a judge, and how her parents instilled in her the belief that she should always help others. Briones talks about navigating the chaos of the Trump administration—including Governor Abbott's redistricting plan —how faith continues to ground her work, and how growing up as a daughter of teachers and a proud Latina on the Texas–Mexico border has made her resilient. Tune in to learn why Commissioner Briones believes Texas can become a swing state (spoiler: it's closer than you might think). IN THIS EPISODE: • [01:03] Commissioner Briones' background and entry into public service. • [02:16] The role of a County Commissioner and what that means in Harris. • [04:07] Federal challenges that Harris County faces under the Trump administration. • [10:30] Attempts to work collaboratively in the face of troubling bills. • [13:13] Staying hopeful and engaged for the generation to come. • [17:06] Sentiment towards the current administration in Harris County. • [18:51] How Commissioner Briones' background informs her work in local government. • [22:55] Her path to public service in 2019 and how it differs from working as a judge. • [30:15] Embracing faith and inclusivity as a Democratic leader.

Are you exhausted from constantly striving, pushing, and trying to be perfect? In this vulnerable and intimate episode of Masks Off for People Pleasers & Perfectionists, I'm sharing the truth about my complicated relationship with my inner perfectionist—who I lovingly call Perfectionistic Paula.For decades, Paula ran the show. She kept me hustling, grinding, striving, and pushing past my limits… all in the name of safety, approval, and control. But as I've moved deeper into my own healing, something surprising happened: I no longer wanted to push. I no longer felt that constant drive. I didn't even recognize myself without her.This episode is an honest look at what happens after you put the sword down, slow down, and start reclaiming the parts of you that perfectionism silenced. I talk about:✨ How perfectionism shows up as a survival strategy ✨ The emotional and physical costs of letting Paula run the show ✨ My struggles with chronic health symptoms and deep exhaustion ✨ The strange “void” that comes when you finally stop striving ✨ How to find the middle ground between burnout and balance ✨ Why your 20s can feel so overwhelming and confusing — and how perfectionism makes it worse ✨ How to soften, surrender, and listen to your inner wisdom instead of the pressure to "figure it all out"If you're a young woman in your twenties navigating identity, burnout, pressure, or perfectionism — this episode will speak directly to your soul.

But there was a victimhood to that because if I believed that I was being taken advantage of, I could then be resentful to be taken advantage of, which would then just perpetuate the narrative of, well, Julie just has to do it herself. No one's gonna show up for her. She's just gotta do it. Which would then keep me in the driver's seat and in control, which would continue to perpetuate that narrative.” - Julie Solomon  “  Our minds are wired for survival, and if you have trauma, they're doubly wired for survival, right? Because you had to make it through a really unsafe environment that you were growing up in, or some event that happened that you had to survive. And so your mind is almost more programmed to keep you alive and to be hypervigilant. I work with a lot of people with PTSD and so we're deprogramming a lot of that and, and we're having to build safety and trust with it. And the other thing that we have to do is we have to befriend this part of us.” - Joy Shaw GUEST RESOURCES: Website: https://www.joyshaw.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/alchemizewithjoy RESOURCES: ✨ Unscripted: My First In-Person Retreat in 2+ Years — Now Accepting Applications If you've felt your voice no longer matches the woman you've become, this intimate 2-day retreat in Nashville (Feb 5–6, 2026) is for you.

The Truth:Creative power is nebulous, making it hard to measure, but it is trained in the same way as physical strength.Your skill level as a producer is moving right now. The question is: which direction?Your skills are either growing or decaying---change is constant. Your development is a dynamic consequence of your decisions.Up close, progress may seem invisible. That's an illusion of perspective. Growth is happening even when you can't point to it in a given moment. The key is to trust that consistent, intentional work produces results---whether you feel them today or not.Creative Strength TrainingStrength---physical or creative---is your capacity to do it when you don't feel like it. It means doing what you said you were going to do. In the gym, that means showing up and doing your workout. In the studio, it means showing up consistently, working through doubt, and carrying ideas to completion.The version of you that goes to the gym will be stronger than the version that doesn't. How much stronger depends on: the consistency of your workouts (refer to Frequency) and the quality of design in alignment with your goals (see The Piñata Method). The same holds true in the studio---consistency and intentional practice generate creative power.The Session Doesn't Count. The Streak Does.What we can lift today versus a year from now has less to do with what we accomplish in one session and everything to do with how many sessions we are able to link together.This is easy to forget if we don't feel ourselves getting stronger moment to moment. From one day or week to the next you may find that you are lifting the same weight, maybe even a little less. There's a recency bias inherent in this natural desire for fast results. We can't remember what it felt like a year ago, but we recognize that compared to yesterday, I'm not lifting any more than I did. The key here is to zoom out. And the longer the recorded history, the more we are able to see. The more we show up on a daily basis, the more recorded history we have in the future. Temperature doesn't increase every single day, but overall the planet is warmer. As you execute your strength training program according to a schedule aligned with your goals you will notice that it grows in a similar way.Trust the PracticeWe cannot control the rate of growth, but growth is inevitable when we are committed to the plan. If someone were to tell you that they are going to the gym five days a week and are expecting to be stronger a year from now, you wouldn't question that assumption. How is creative strength any different?Embracing this is powerful because when we understand that growth is happening, we can commit ourselves to the underlying practice.“But What About...?”Talent. I love this idea from Jerry Seinfeld: talent is like being gifted a thoroughbred horse. It's fast and powerful, but you have to learn to ride it. Unapplied and untrained talent will atrophy over time. Talent is a gift. Training is a choice. Regardless of how much talent you perceive yourself to have or lack, developing skill is your decision.Decay. If we can grow, we can shrink. In the never-ending quest for growth and improvement, it is easy to take what we have for granted. But, what we have gained is not retained if not maintained. If you miss a day or two at the gym, you probably won't notice much of a change. But extend this to a week, a month, or even a year and it becomes obvious. The perspective of decline and deterioration is equally powerful in its reminder that our ability is not a static trait.Plateaus. The paradox of skill development: the more skilled you become, the harder it is to improve. That said, plateaus aren't dead ends, they are firm ground for forward motion. They are platforms to internalize what you learn until it becomes automatic, generating momentum to carry you to the next level. With accumulated experience, you can refine your goals and adjust how you train. The plateau isn't where growth stops---it's where your next climb begins.Making bad music. No matter how much your skill level grows, you're not immune to making bad music. The music we share is always our “best of.” The most direct path to making good music is to make music often.

Welcome to the final episode in Gospel Spice's series, "Identity in the Battle." Stephanie draws from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, with a primary focus on what it means to know and live out our identity in Christ, especially amidst spiritual warfare. This serves as a conclusion to the study on our identity in Christ and how that shapes our engagement in spiritual warfare.Ephesians: Tone & ContextStephanie emphasizes two critical ways to approach Ephesians:Mature Tone: Unlike Paul's other letters, Ephesians is deeply theological and not focused on addressing specific church problems. Instead, it equips believers for mature faith, acknowledging life's difficulties, but encouraging us by affirming that victory in Christ is already secured.Context: Paul writes from prison (likely AD 62), aware these may be his final words to the church in Ephesus. Despite his chains, he speaks with gentle affection, offering encouragement and a desire for continued connection.Four Pillars in Paul's Farewell (Ephesians 6:23–24)Paul concludes with four key blessings:Peace: A deep, abiding peace (shalom) from God.Faith: Assurance in the unseen, a call to trust God in uncertainty.Love: Love that unites the community.Grace: The foundation for all Christian living.Paul challenges us to let these words be the flavor of our own walk with Christ and to root ministry and relationships in love and grace.The Spiritual BattleEach believer has a choice—either to remain bystanders or to take up their place in the spiritual battlefield. Importantly:Jesus' love is not lessened by our reluctance, but we are invited to participate in battle for the sake of others, including addressing evils like human trafficking.The enemy (Satan) is not complacent, so we must not be either. Knowing the victory is won should lead not to laziness, but to courageous engagement.Our battle is never against people, but against evil and spiritual forces. With people, we are to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit—love, patience, kindness.Handling Conflict in the ChurchStephanie points out that disagreements among Christians are inevitable. The priority is always reconciliation, but when that's not possible, it's best to move aside while continuing to pray blessings over one another, remembering that we are all fighting the same spiritual war.Five Steps for Engaging in Spiritual WarfareBecome aware of the spiritual realm.Train up: Study scripture, pray, and fellowship.Stand firm: Hold your ground in Christ's strength.Resist the devil: Persevere with God's might, not your own.Train others: Help disciple and equip younger believers.True Identity in ChristThe reality of our identity is found in the fullness of Christ. Everything—our calling, purpose, and ability to overcome—flows from knowing who God is, what He has done, who we are in Him, and what we are called to do.We are the inheritors of a deep legacy of spiritual riches and calling. So, root your life in the peace, faith, love, and grace found in Christ, remember your true identity, and take your place in the spiritual battle with courage.As the series ends, Gospel Spice invites everyone to "taste and see that the Lord is good," step boldly into battle, and empower others to do the same.Reflection/Response:-          How do Paul's final words in Ephesians inspire you to engage the spiritual battles you face today?-          What does it look like for you to stand firm in your identity in ChristEnjoying these reflection questions?

We want a warm, welcoming atmosphere to journey ever deeper into the heart of God. We believe it is the ultimate calling of the Christian life, and I like to summarize it with my motto, God's glory, our delight. That is why we invite you to “taste and see” that the Lord is good. And we have been doing this every day since 2019. We need YOU to keep Gospel Spice alive and growing.  Financially speaking, we rely on people who understand this vision and who understand that we cannot function without a minimum budget. We run an extremely tight budget. For example, I work full time but don't draw a salary. And yet, we have expenses – for example, the equipment and technology we use, and also the wonderfully gifted staff who make it possible to deliver high quality content all around the globe, and then the necessary occasional promotional budget to make it possible to be discovered by those who seek to live a life spiced with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need your help.  So we would love for you to consider if this ministry is blessing you to pay gospel spice forward. You can partner with us monthly with $10 or $25 a month, by example, or you can make one donation, once.And because we are a register nonprofit organization in the United States under the status of a 501c3 charity, it means that the amount that you pay to gospel spice is fully tax deductible. Completely tax deductible. So you're even saving money as you invest in gospel spice ministries. It is an eternal investment, and we are very grateful to you for it.Now it's very important to us that we give back as much as possible from what you give us. And so we commit to giving the majority of what we receive, once all of our administrative costs are paid, to organizations that fight human trafficking on the front line. There are many worthwhile causes in the world, so why this one? Because I have always personally felt deep compassion for victims of human trafficking – maybe because I have never been its victim myself, so I feel a responsibility to help those less fortunate than me. Also, because Jesus tells us to love our neighbor. Human trafficking is modern day slavery, and that is something that revolts the heart of God. We want to play our part in raising awareness and then financially supporting those who fight this great evil.  So, we do some due diligence. We pick organizations who have proven themselves trustworthy of our support. And then we give money to these Christians organizations that fight human trafficking.So would you consider paying us forward at gospelspice.com/payitforward ?Your hard-earned money is always well used at Gospel Spice.

Oliver Burkeman is a bestselling author, journalist, and the mind behind “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals” and “Meditations for Mortals.” We explore our broken relationship with time and Oliver's philosophy of imperfectionism, which dismantles the delusion that productivity is a moral imperative. Oliver explains why we're all chasing an infinite backlog, how perfectionism keeps us from doing the work, the path from overwhelm to agency, why acceptance isn't resignation, and the mystical energy of completion. Along the way, Oliver diagnoses my biggest malfunction and exposes an uncomfortable truth about my people-pleasing tendencies. Oliver's work is vital.
