    Joseph combed the job listings frustratedly. Previous jobs as a waiter had paid well, but regular weekend shifts typical of the restaurant industry made it hard for him as a new believer in Jesus to attend church regularly. “Why doesn’t God answer my prayer?” he lamented. “Wouldn’t He want me to attend church?” It took a year before Joseph saw that he had to adjust his expectations and try a different industry where he finally found a job with regular weekday shifts. Thanking God, he realized how the long wait had made him more mature in making decisions. This job change process had also taught Joseph what it means to persevere in life and trust in God to reveal His plans in His time. That’s what James told a church facing trials. Encouraging them not to give up, he said: “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete” (James 1:4). The process of asking God for wisdom, waiting, and standing firm (vv. 5-6) would not only nurture their patience and trust in God, but also help them grow in maturity as they learned more about themselves and God. Waiting for God’s answer can be tough, but it makes us more mature and steadfast, strengthens our faith, and gives us a deeper understanding of what it means to trust God.

They come through seasons where you keep showing up, keep believing, and keep doing the right things—even when there's no visible evidence that anything is changing.Amy explores the biblical principle of “pray yet again.” Just like Elijah prayed again for rain, and the woman with the issue of blood pursued healing for twelve years, many of the most powerful breakthroughs in life come after long seasons of persistence.The truth is, the most meaningful things in life rarely happen overnight. They are developed in the dark seasons—when no one is watching, when the pressure is high, and when quitting would be easier than continuing.But something powerful is happening in those moments.Character is being built.Faith is being strengthened.And the foundation for your future is being formed.If you're facing a challenge that hasn't shifted yet—whether it's health, relationships, finances, or purpose—this episode will remind you that your story isn't over.Sometimes the breakthrough comes one prayer later, one step later, one moment later.So whatever you're facing right now…Pray yet again.Connect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comFree Download: 5 Steps to Win Through AdversitySocial Media: Follow us on Facebook and InstagramEmail: amy@amywienands.comEpisode Minute By Minute:00:00 – When you've prayed and nothing seems to change00:40 – Amy's 20-year struggle with chronic back pain01:50 – Trying every solution: chiropractors, supplements, and prayer02:20 – The Bible principle: “Pray yet again”03:05 – Discovering celery juice and unexpected healing04:05 – Ask, seek, knock: persistence in faith04:50 – The problems that keep showing up in life05:35 – Why the most important things require persistence06:10 – When everyday life becomes difficult07:00 – The woman with the issue of blood: pursuing breakthrough07:45 – Why the greatest things are built in the dark08:35 – What persistence develops inside of you09:05 – Your latter days can be better than your former days10:00 – Speaking faith and declaring God's promises10:55 – The truth about “overnight success”11:30 – There is a set time when everything shifts12:05 – Encouraging yourself when no one else can13:05 – You and God are a majority14:00 – Wrestling seasons and being close to breakthrough14:55 – Guarding your heart from bitterness and cynicism15:35 – Keep your heart right, your mouth right, and keep showing up16:30 – Your expectation will not be cut offBe intentional, stay focused, and remember you are more!

    1. Rising Support for Socialism A Fox News survey shows 38% of voters believe moving toward socialism would be a good thing, the highest level recorded. Despite that, 61% still view socialism negatively. 2. Declining Confidence in Capitalism Voters are split on whether capitalism is working: 50% say capitalism works well 49% say it works poorly This divide is presented as a driver of interest in socialist ideas. 3. Narrative on Left-Leaning Politics Left‑leaning politicians (e.g., AOC) convince voters that: America is fundamentally flawed, Capitalism disadvantages them, And inequality is due to systemic injustice, not personal choices. 4. Personal Responsibility vs. System Blame A major theme is that individual work ethic determines success. The document argues that some people blame “the system” instead of acknowledging personal decisions like: poor work habits, substance abuse, lack of effort, or educational decisions. 5. Political Strategy and Voter Dependency The author claims the Democratic Party maintains power by: Encouraging reliance on government benefits, Using “free stuff” to secure votes, Keeping people in poverty cycles instead of enabling upward mobility. 6. Trump’s Threat to the Democratic Base The text argues Democrats targeted Trump politically because: He was reducing minority unemployment to record lows, Potentially shifting traditional Democratic voting blocs, COVID‑19 disrupted that progress and altered political dynamics. 7. Education as a Control Mechanism: Democratic-led cities have failing school systems, Poor education ensures future dependency on government, Empowered, well‑educated children are more likely to become politically independent. 8. Government Programs as Leverage Policies such as Obamacare are described as tools for political control by making voters fear losing essential services.

    SubtitleIn this Episode Christy Wilhelmy, founder of Garden Nerd and author of multiple gardening books, returns to discuss her upcoming novel Bolting to Seed. The book is the sequel to her debut garden novel Garden Variety and blends gardening education with a cozy mystery storyline set in a community garden. Christy shares how real-life community garden experiences inspired her fiction, how she structures a mystery novel, and why she chose to independently publish the sequel through Kickstarter. Along the way, she highlights how storytelling can inspire people to start gardening, even if they've never grown food before.Our Guest: Christy is the founder of Garden Nerd, the ultimate resource for garden nerds, where she publishes newsletters, her popular blog. Top ranked podcast and YouTube videos. She also specializes in small space, organic vegetable garden design, consulting, and classes. Between 50 and 70% of her family's produce comes from her garden of less than 300 square feet. She is the author of High Yield Small Space Organic Gardening, 400 plus Tips for Organic Gardening Success, Grow Your Own Mini Fruit Garden and her debut novel Garden variety.Key TopicsChristy WilhelmyGarden NerdBolting to Seed novelGarden Variety novelCommunity gardens as storytelling inspirationIndependent publishing and Kickstarter campaignsCozy mystery genreGardening education embedded in fictionSmall space organic vegetable gardeningScrivener writing softwareThrips damage on citrus and nectarinesBeneficial insects and insectary plantsLacewings and minute pirate bugsBiological pest control in gardensKey Questions AnsweredHow did Christy Wilhelmy move from gardening books into writing fiction?Christy spent more than 27 years gardening in a community garden and realized the setting was full of unique personalities and stories. She began collecting ideas over time and eventually turned those experiences into her debut novel Garden Variety, a rom-com set in a Los Angeles community garden.What is the new novel Bolting to Seed about?The sequel takes place a year after Garden Variety and focuses on late spring and summer in the same community garden. The story blends gardening lessons with a cozy mystery: a murder occurs, and the characters must solve the case while navigating community garden life.Why did Christy decide to self-publish the new book?After her agent shopped the manuscript to traditional publishers for nearly a year, she learned that publishers were hesitant to buy sequels unless the first book was a major bestseller. Rather than wait indefinitely, she chose independent publishing to maintain creative control and move the project forward.How does Christy structure a mystery novel?She approaches writing as a “planner.” She outlines the story in advance, maps out character arcs, and lists key scenes that must happen to move the plot forward. Using Scrivener, she writes scenes separately and rearranges them until the structure works, filling in gaps and transitions as the story develops.How are gardening lessons included in the novel?Christy intentionally makes a list of gardening topics she wants to teach—usually around ten lessons—and integrates them naturally into the storyline. At the end of the book, readers will also find a growing guide summarizing the key gardening takeaways.What is the Kickstarter campaign supporting?The Kickstarter helps cover the expenses of independent publishing, including editing, cover design, layout, printing, and marketing. Supporters can pledge at different levels to receive rewards like signed books, custom seed packets, tote bags, virtual launch party tickets, and even cameo appearances in future novels.How can beneficial insects help manage thrips damage?Thrips can scar citrus and other fruit during the flowering stage. Encouraging beneficial insects like lacewings and minute pirate bugs through insectary plantings can help control thrips populations naturally.Episode HighlightsChristy shares how decades in a community garden inspired her first novel.Bolting to Seed shifts genres from romantic comedy to a cozy mystery.The sequel introduces new characters and a detective investigating a garden-related murder.Readers can learn gardening techniques while following the story.Christy explains the difference between “planner” and “pantser” writing styles.Independent publishing allows her to design the book exactly how she wants.The Kickstarter campaign includes creative rewards such as appearing in a future novel.Beneficial insect habitats can naturally manage pests like thrips.ResourcesGarden Nerd — https://gardennerd.comKickstarter campaign for Bolting to Seed — https://gardennerd.comPodcast show notes — https://urbanfarm.org/BoltingTwoSeed Need a little bit of advice or just a feedback on your design for your yard or garden?The Urban Farm Team is offering consults over the phone or zoom.

    Send a textThe word deserve sounds positive. Encouraging, even. But when it comes to weight loss and your relationship with food, it can quietly become one of the most dangerous words you use with yourself.In this episode, I'm talking about the language of deserving and how it can work both for you and against you.Feeling like you deserve better health, more mobility, and a body that supports the life you want can be incredibly powerful. But the same word can also become a justification for the very behaviours that undermine the progress you're trying to make.“I had a rough day. I deserve this.” “I've been good all week. I deserve a break.” “I'll skip tracking today. I deserve it.”The problem isn't the food. The problem is what this kind of thinking does to the trust you're building with yourself.Weight loss isn't just about changing your body. It's about building a new relationship with food and learning to trust your own decisions again. When you use “deserving” as a reason to undo the commitments you've made to yourself, you're quietly pulling apart the progress you've been working so hard to build.In this episode, Charlotte talks about how the language we use with ourselves can either support the work we're doing or slowly undermine it.You deserve to reach your goal. You deserve to build trust with yourself. And you deserve a relationship with food that actually brings you peace.But sometimes the most important question is this:What do you really deserve right now and in the long run?In This EpisodeWhy the word “deserve” can be both motivating and dangerousHow “I deserve this” often becomes a justification for self-sabotageThe connection between deserving language and self-trustWhy short-term rewards can undermine long-term goalsThe mental side of building a new relationship with foodHow to pause and question the stories you tell yourself about foodSupport the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

    Welcome to Season 15 Episode 9 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa is joined by Tennis Parent and Entrepreneur, Jeremy Saline, to discuss the impetus behind On The RISE Tennis.Jeremy is the father of 4 children, the oldest of whom has fallen in love with tennis. As his daughter started improving and expressing the desire to play at higher and higher levels, Jeremy - like many of us - was hit by the rising costs associated with her development. He started projecting those costs over her remaining junior tennis years and realized the current model just isn't sustainable for most families out there."What if," he thought, "there were a way to bring junior players together as a team and share some of those costs? What if we could attract sponsors and donors to offset some of the expense?" And he got to work creating On The RISE Tennis.Jeremy applied for 501(c)3 status, pulled together a board made up of people in the tennis and non-profit worlds, and got to work.On the RISE Tennis identifies and nurtures junior athletes with the potential to compete at the highest levels. Its mission goes beyond the court, using tennis to teach discipline, self-confidence, resilience, leadership, and integrity through the RISE Individual Performance Program.The organization is committed to shaping well-rounded individuals by:Encouraging high-quality training and competitive opportunities to enhance tennis skillsPromoting the pursuit of strong academic achievementDeveloping leadership skills and building confidence both on and off the courtFostering a spirit of service and encouraging athletes to positively impact their communitiesCultivating the TEAM RISE culture, where athletes support one another and grow togetherIf you are interested in learning more about On The RISE Tennis and/or if your player would like to apply to be part of Team RISE, you can reach out to Jeremy at info@ontherisetennis.org.
