He was born in Irenopolis, one of the "Ten Cities" of Asia Minor. Though his parents wanted him to marry, he entered monastic life as a young man, and struggled for many years, living in reclusion under the guidance of a wise spiritual father. One day, while in prayer, he was carried away to Paradise and experienced the blessedness that the redeemed will know at the general Resurrection. The vision seemed to him only to last for an hour, but he learned from his disciple that he had been in ecstasy for four days. Aware that the Enemy can appear as an angel of light, and that we should be suspicious of seeming revelations, he sought the counsel of his Abbot, who reassured him, and told him to give thanks to God by continuing in his ascetic labors. Soon, he was told by revelation that he was to go forth into the world, living without an earthly home, to uphold the Orthodox faith, which was then under attack by the Iconoclasts. He traveled through Ephesus, Constantinople, Corinth, Rome, Sicily, Thessalonica, and Constantinople again, laboring in defense of the Faith and working many miracles. Usually he would stay with poor people who welcomed him into their houses, though it was forbidden by law to receive an Orthodox monk (that is, one who defended the Icons). In his last few years, afflicted by illness, he settled in Constantinople, where he reposed in peace in 832, just before the end of iconoclasm and the restoration of Orthodoxy. Since 1490, his incorrupt relics have dwelt at the Monastery of Bistritsa in Romania, where they continue to be a source of miracles for the many pilgrims who come to venerate them.

Something is happening inside the conservative movement, and most people don't realize it until they've already been pulled into it. The enemy has found a new tactic, not by attacking us from the outside, but by using conspiracy addiction to turn believers, patriots, and even influencers against one another. I expose how this strategy is splintering the very people called to stand for truth and why the goal is to weaken America from the inside out. Once you recognize the pattern, you will be able to guard your mind, protect your relationships, and stay focused on the real battle instead of the distractions designed to divide us.

In this message, “All About You,” we explore what it truly means to shift our focus from ourselves to the mission of Jesus. Self-Focus Is the Enemy's Distraction Philippians 2:3–4 reminds us that selfish ambition and self-centered living pull us away from what God has called us to. When our world revolves around us, we lose sight of the Kingdom. Matthew 6:33 challenges us to seek God first, not our own agenda. Intercession Breaks the Devil's Grip Ephesians 6:18 shows that praying for others is a powerful weapon. Intercession lifts our eyes off ourselves and helps us stay alert, connected, and aligned with God's heart for people. Jesus Modeled Selfless Prayer Jesus didn't just teach us to pray for others—He lived it. In Luke 23:34, He prayed for the very people crucifying Him. In John 17:20, He prayed for future believers, including us. His example calls us to a life shaped by compassion and intercession. Outward Focus Brings Inward Peace Philippians 4:6–7 teaches that when we release our worries and pray with thanksgiving, God's peace guards our hearts and minds. James 5:16 reminds us that prayer—especially prayer for others—carries real power and produces real change. This message will help you recognize how self-focus drifts us away from God, and how shifting our attention outward leads to purpose, peace, and spiritual strength. Dive in and see what happens when your life becomes centered on Christ and the people He cares for.

We tackle one of the biggest mental roadblocks to wealth: the search for perfection that leads to over-optimization and analysis paralysis. If you've ever frozen up while trying to find the absolute best investment or budgeting tool, you're not alone. We break down the 80/20 rule of money, arguing that the simple, boring choices are the real secrets to financial progress, not chasing tiny advantages. Stop letting the fear of imperfection cost you years of compounding growth; simplicity is often better than perfection.Get the full show notes, show references, and more information here: https://www.insideoutmoney.org/137-the-80-20-rule-of-money-dont-let-perfect-be-the-enemy-of-the-good/

Satan seeks to dismantle all we do, especially as it pertains to God leading us together. Join us as we walk through another critical moment before the crossing of the Red Sea.
As we draw near to the end of the Gospel of Luke, Fr. Mike briefly expands on the story of the poor widow's offering, emphasizing that the Lord cares more about the size of our hearts than about the size of our gifts. Fr. Mike also underscores Jesus' moving words to Peter when he foretells Peter's denial. Jesus' words remind us that no matter how fiercely the enemy tries to attack us, he is always praying for each and every one of us. Today's readings are Luke 20-22:38 and Proverbs 26:17-19.

GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchMatthew 5:43-48The Reassuring Power of Enemy Love1. Enemy love is evidence of authentic faith, v. 43-45 2 Kings 6:20-232. Enemy love is how God loves, v. 45b-47Two questions we have to answer today… a) who do you love? v. 46 b) who do you greet? v. 473. Enemy love is God's nature, v. 48 a) Jesus incites a pre-evangelistic despair that prepares us for the gospel. b) You don't need a relationship with God just for forgiveness; you need a relationship with Christ for capacity. Mental worship… 1. Do you feel capable of loving your enemies? 2. What is different about the way you love and greet from the way non-Christians love and greet? 3. Is there a “moreness” to the way you live? 4. What is a first step you could take this week towards enemy love? 5. Do you see God's commands through the lens of His promise? 6. Who do you spend time with that is like looking in a funhouse mirror?

Chip relates the most fearful encounter with demons he ever faced and how you can prepare yourself to do battle with the Enemy.Four facts you need to knowGod has objectively defeated Satan. He has delivered us from sin's penalty and power. In the interim, we are involved in guerilla warfare with demonic forces.As believers, we have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light with all the rights, privileges, and position a child of God entails.The spiritual battle involves a responsibility to “put on” the spiritual protection God has provided. We can resist the enemy's attempts to deceive, accuse, and cast doubt when we stand firm.The great majority of spiritual warfare need never go beyond the regular practice of living out our position in Christ by faith. Our practice of the spiritual armor protects us from Satan's attempts and minimizes any impact by the enemy.There are times however, when we must move beyond “standing firm” and ENGAGE the enemy in actual combatWhen taking significant steps of faith for spiritual growthWhen invading enemy territoryWhen exposing him for who he really isWhen we repent and make a “clean break” with the world, a long-held sin pattern, or an unholy relationshipWhen God is preparing us for a “great work” for His gloryHow to engage the enemy and win:Taking up the shield of FAITHTake the helmet of SALVATIONTake the sword of the SPIRITSummary: How to engage the enemy in spiritual warfarePrerequisite is a HEALTHY spiritual lifeUnderstand your POSITION in ChristDISCERN when demonic influence may be the causeClaim God's promises OUT LOUDTake our authority and position in Christ to COMMAND demonic forces to cease their activity and departBroadcast ResourceThe Invisible War ResourcesMessage NotesAdditional Resource MentionsThe Invisible War Small Group OfferConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003
Feeling overwhelmed after a victory? You're not alone. Even Elijah ran scared after calling down fire from heaven. Here's the truth: your weakest moments don't disqualify you from God's plan. Sometimes God speaks loudest in a whisper, not through the earthquake or fire. What cave of discouragement are you hiding in today? God isn't done with you yet.

Ever feel like you check out when things get too overwhelming?Yeah… same.In this episode of Tripping Off, We break down the truth about dissociation, not as a “bad habit,” but as a survival skill your brain learned to keep you safe.✨ What if dissociation isn't the villain?✨ What if it's actually your mind protecting you from overload, stress, or emotional pain?We talk about coping, burnout, emotional boundaries, and the surprising reason so many people feel like they're “not really here.”If you've ever zoned out, gone numb, or felt like you're watching your life from the outside…You're not broken. You're tired, and your brain is doing its best.
Temptation and failure challenges you to find more of your life in God and less in the world. Don't beat yourself up over not having arrived yet or let the enemy deny your identity in Christ. Stop fighting the symptoms. God's drawing you closer. You're created to be complete only in Christ.

Something dark is moving through our movement, and most people have no idea where it started. I expose how the enemy is using confusion about Israel to unleash division, target young believers, and twist the narrative until friends turn on each other instead of confronting the real threat. You will see why anti Israel rhetoric is spreading so quickly, why it is spiritually dangerous, and how scripture reveals the strategy behind it. Once you understand what is being loosed over America, you will know exactly how to stand firm and protect your faith, your clarity, and your calling.

In this solo episode, Darin reframes one of the most misunderstood forces in life — stress. Instead of seeing it as the enemy, he explores how stress is actually a messenger, guiding you back to alignment, safety, and awareness. Through science, spirituality, and lived experience, Darin breaks down how stress shows us where we're trying to control, where we're disconnected, and where our nervous system is calling for attention. He unpacks the layers of modern stress — from trauma and environment to community and purpose — and offers practical, embodied tools to restore calm, clarity, and resilience.

Hollywood had its eyes on Web Summit Lisbon this week — where Tilly Norwood creator Eline van der Velden joined Ankler Media EIC Janice Min to showcase her AI “actress.” But Wild Sheep Content CEO Erik Barmack, our Reel AI columnist, tells Elaine Low, Sean McNulty and Natalie Jarvey that the fixation on Tilly misses the far more consequential story: the unmistakable warning signs of AI's encroachment and the decades of strategic drift that have left Hollywood uniquely exposed to Big Tech's ambitions. Which jobs remain genuinely AI-proof? Which ones are already dissolving beneath us? And what does it mean for a creative economy when the apprenticeship ladder that produces future writers, directors and executives is sawed off at the base? Barmack offers a rigorous, unsentimental map of a crisis now unfolding faster, and more decisively, than the town wants to acknowledge. Plus: David Ellison hosts Paramount Skydance's debut on Wall Street, and Richard Rushfield charts the steady disappearance of dramatic films from America's movie screens.

Gary continues going through 1 Corinthians 15 with Kim Burgess. In this episode, they discuss death as being the final enemy. Kim brings up some very interesting points that are not obvious from our English translations. Sheol, or the realm of the dead, was a very big topic in the mind of first century Jews and this is what Paul is addressing.

5 Marketing Takeaway Secrets for Zip Code Marketing 2.0 with Favour Obasi-Ike | Sign up for exclusive SEO insights.Favour discusses Zip Code Marketing 2.0, emphasizing its importance for local businesses. Favour explains that this marketing strategy involves geo-targeting audiences based on their zip codes and interests to achieve local market success through tailored content and advertising.Key platforms for this type of marketing include Amazon, Google, YouTube, and TikTok, with a forward-looking mention of using Connected TV for targeted ads as part of the "2.0" evolution. Favour also stresses the necessity of thorough research before launching ad campaigns and highlights the value of SEO and content strategy in driving commercial growth and connecting with potential customers.The internet is a constant flood of marketing advice. We're told to blog more, post more, and spend more on ads. It's overwhelming, and most of it feels like noise. But every so often, you stumble upon a single conversation that cuts through it all.That's what happened to me during a one-hour Clubhouse talk on "Zip Code Marketing 2.0." Favour shared a series of potent, surprising, and immediately actionable insights that challenge the 'more is more' gospel of content marketing and the 'gamble' of paid ads, offering a refreshingly precise alternative. The talk covered both foundational tactics for local businesses and a stunning look into the future of hyper-local advertising. Here are the five secrets I learned.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?

Book a Complimentary SEO Discovery Call with Favour Obasi-Ike>> Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Takeaway #1: Hyper-Niche SEO Can Deliver Results in Under 24 HoursWe're often told that SEO is a long game, requiring months of consistent effort. This case study proves that with the right strategy, it can be shockingly fast.Favour shared the story of a client selling a "prayer box for busy moms". By researching the competition, they discovered the niche had been neglected for years. After making a few strategic tweaks to the website, the client started getting sales directly from their Google link in less than 24 hours.The real insight wasn't just finding a low-competition keyword; it was understanding the customer's specific behavior. The sales came in at 6 a.m. and 2 a.m.—times when busy moms could find a quiet moment before their day began. This hyper-specific understanding of when and why a customer searches is more powerful than a hundred generic blog posts. It's the direct result of putting research before action.SEO is not just blog, blog, blog, blog. Like there there has to be some reasoning behind it.The lesson: your fastest path to profit might not be broad appeal, but a laser-focused solution for a neglected niche whose buying habits you can pinpoint to the hour.Takeaway #2: The Golden Rule of Ad Spend Is About Time, Not MoneyFor many businesses, running paid ads feels like gambling. You put money in and hope for the best. The speaker offered a simple, powerful principle to completely reframe this approach.Do not spend a dollar on ads if you've not spent a second on research.The logic is undeniable: running ads to a market that already needs and is searching for your product is infinitely more effective than trying to create demand from scratch. True success in advertising doesn't start with a campaign; it starts with research and development (R&D) to find the perfect market fit. Stop treating your ad budget like a slot machine and start treating it as the final step in a rigorous R&D process.Takeaway #3: Every Online Sale Is a Treasure Map (And X Marks the Zip Code)This point was so simple it was brilliant. Every single time you make an online sale—whether through Shopify, Squarespace, or Stripe—you collect a crucial piece of data: the customer's zip code.This isn't just logistical information for shipping. It's a treasure map. That zip code is a clear, unambiguous signal telling you exactly where your audience lives. The speaker used a perfect analogy: you should be selling jackets to people in cold zip codes and t-shirts to those who don't need jackets. It sounds obvious, but how many businesses ignore this data and market their "jackets" to everyone, everywhere? This means your most valuable marketing asset isn't a new ad campaign; it's a spreadsheet of your top 10 customer zip codes and a plan to dominate them.Takeaway #4: Paid Ads Aren't the Enemy of SEO—They're "Accelerated SEO"Once you've used your sales data to identify your "treasure map" of high-value zip codes, the next step isn't just organic—it's what the speaker calls "Accelerated SEO."The age-old debate of "Paid vs. Organic" is a false choice. The speaker reframed paid advertising not as a competitor to SEO, but as a faster way to own the keywords that matter in the places that matter. To prove the point, they shared an experiment: a simple $5/day Facebook ad campaign. By targeting only the specific zip codes with proven search interest, the results were incredible. The cost-per-click (CPC), which started around 30 cents, steadily dropped to 14 cents, and in some cases, as low as 9 cents.This dramatic cost reduction happens because by targeting only zip codes with proven, active search interest, the ad's relevance score skyrockets. Platforms like Facebook reward this high relevance with significantly lower costs, eliminating wasted spend on uninterested audiences.Takeaway #5: Zip Code Marketing 2.0 Is Taking Over Local TV and BillboardsThis was the most forward-looking secret of the entire talk. The "2.0" in the title isn't just about optimizing search and social—it's about applying zip code precision to channels once reserved for national brands: Connected TV and digital billboards.Favour explained that it's now possible to run ads on platforms like Peacock, Netflix, and various sports channels targeted only to viewers in specific zip codes. Imagine a local business running a TV commercial that's only seen by households in their most profitable neighborhoods. Or, consider the strategy of running ads on digital billboards within the zip code of a major conference, reaching every attendee during their downtime without having to be there physically. This is the future of local marketing—using data to show up on the biggest screens, but only for the exact audience that matters.Conclusion: From Local Champion to Global ContenderThe core theme was that effective marketing isn't about shouting the loudest; it's about deep research and showing up precisely where and when your audience needs you. Whether it's analyzing the 2 a.m. shopping habits of a busy mom or targeting a TV ad to a single zip code, the data to win is already at your fingertips.As Favour powerfully stated, "You can't be a global champion if you're not a local champion." Success starts by dominating your specific market first. Before you try to conquer the world, you have to win your neighborhood.It leaves one final, crucial question for all of us: What hidden data is your business already collecting that could unlock your next breakthrough?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
