1 Listen, sons, to a father's instruction. Pay attention and know understanding; 2 for I give you sound learning. Don't forsake my law. 3 For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the sight of my mother. 4 He taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live. 5 Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don't forget, and don't deviate from the words of my mouth. 6 Don't forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you. 7 Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding. 8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor when you embrace her. 9 She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you.” 10 Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many. 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths. 12 When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble. 13 Take firm hold of instruction. Don't let her go. Keep her, for she is your life. 14 Don't enter into the path of the wicked. Don't walk in the way of evil men. 15 Avoid it, and don't pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on. 16 For they don't sleep unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. 18 But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day. 19 The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don't know what they stumble over. 20 My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the center of your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life. 24 Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you. 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you. 26 Make the path of your feet level.

She faithfully followed Jesus through His crucifixion, witnessed His burial, encountered the risen Christ, and was entrusted with the extraordinary responsibility of announcing His resurrection.The episode also examines how cultural assumptions can sometimes influence Christian interpretation and why believers should distinguish biblical teaching from traditions that may have developed later.Jamie's central message is simple but powerful: God is better than we have imagined, He profoundly loves women, and He purposefully includes them in His redemptive work.This conversation encourages both men and women to recognize that God works through willing, faithful believers and that the Body of Christ is strongest when believers honor one another while keeping Jesus and His redemptive mission at the center.In This EpisodeJamie Hulker's personal faith journeyStudying Scripture verse by verseWomen throughout God's redemptive planDeborah's leadership in JudgesMary Magdalene and the resurrection of JesusLydia and the Gospel entering EuropePhoebe, Priscilla, Junia, and Romans 16Paul's relationship with female coworkersBiblical calling versus cultural expectationsWhy secondary theological issues should not divide the ChurchMen and women working together in the Body of ChristFaithfulness, obedience, calling, and Christian purposeRestoring biblical conversations that honor God and one anotherKeywords / TagsJamie Hulker, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, Kingdom Crossroads Podcast, TS Wright, CPE Summer 2026, Christian Product Expo, women in the Bible, women in ministry, women in God's redemptive plan, biblical women, Mary Magdalene, Deborah in the Bible, Lydia Bible, Phoebe Romans 16, Priscilla and Aquila, Junia Bible, Romans 16 women, Apostle Paul women, Paul and women, Christian women, women of faith, women and Christianity, biblical womanhood, Christian leadership, women in church leadership, women in the early church, God's purpose for women, God's calling, redemptive plan, Body of Christ, Christian discipleship, Bible study, Christian author, Christian books, Christian podcast, Christian interviews, biblical theology, biblical equality, spiritual calling, Gospel of Jesus Christ, resurrection of Jesus, Great CommissionCall to ActionAre you ready to look again at what Scripture says about the men and women God uses to accomplish His purposes?

You Are Enough: The Science and Practices of Enoughness [283]

Experiences with stress, depression, and anxiety are often paired with feelings of not measuring up or that you're not enough. However, feeling that you're lacking in some way is not limited to a mental health diagnosis; these feelings are actually very common and, unfortunately, they make our lives smaller. We're working on our Element of Enoughness in this episode, identifying Enoughness as an inner knowing that you are enough just as you are, with acceptance of where you are at this moment, without giving up on where you're headed. We'll start by identifying some obstacles to that knowing through two powerful research frameworks. The first is Dr. Jennifer Crocker's "contingencies of self-worth." This is the idea that we stake our self-esteem more heavily on certain domains than others, and when we do, our worth rises and falls with our performance in those areas. The second framework is Drs. Paul Hewitt and Gordon Flett's three typologies of perfectionism: self-oriented (impossible standards for yourself), other-oriented (impossible standards for others), and socially-prescribed (believing others are demanding your perfection). Henry also names the common root for our feelings of not being enough: the fundamental fear of not belonging. This is the start of our series on Enoughness, so be sure to stick with us for the next episodes as we talk about and gain skills related to having enough, doing enough, knowing enough, and being enough. About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Isn't that just an excuse to stop growing? A: Enoughness, as Joy Lab defines it, is the inner knowing that you are enough just as you are, with acceptance of where you are, without giving up on where you're headed. Enoughness is distinct from self-esteem (which rises and falls with performance) and is closer to unconditional self-worth; this episode explains the distinction and why believing you are enough actually makes you more open to genuine growth, not less. Q: Why do I feel so driven to prove myself even when I know it's exhausting and not working? A: That's the contingencies of self-worth in action. When we stake our self-esteem on certain domains, we strive or perform not to learn or grow but to prove our worth; this episode explains the mechanism, its real costs, and why loosening those contingencies is not giving up on goals but can help free yourself from letting outcomes dictate your value. Key moments: [00:00] Welcome to the brand new Element of Enoughness [00:30] Opening fact: you are enough — and the Zen teaching Henry loves: "You're perfect as you are, and you could use a little improvement" [01:00] Aimee's working definition: Enoughness is the inner knowing that you are enough just as you are, with acceptance of where you are, without giving up on where you're headed [01:30] Contentment spiked with hope — Enoughness is not a ceiling, it's a foundation [02:00] Why Enoughness is hard to define operationally — but viscerally familiar; we know what having it and lacking it feels like [03:00] Henry: this topic lives in the conversation around scarcity and abundance — how much is enough is a question we don't give enough thought to [03:30] Most of us carry on as though we don't have or aren't enough — striving, or feeling bad for what we think we lack [04:00] The rare person who feels comfortable in their own skin: receives praise but doesn't need it — and stands out for it [04:30] Four dimensions to explore: having enough, doing enough, knowing enough, and being enough [06:00] Two key frameworks for the month: contingencies of self-worth (Dr. Jennifer Crocker) and typologies of perfectionism (Drs. Hewitt and Flett) [06:30] Contingencies of self-worth: we don't stake self-esteem equally on everything — certain domains carry more of our worth [07:00] Three key claims: contingencies motivate where we put attention and effort; they influence how we react in those domains; they can lead to fragile self-esteem linked to higher depression and anxiety [07:30] Contingencies turn "I feel good about myself" into "I feel good about myself if..." [08:00] Crocker's college student study: students who tied self-worth to academic performance studied more hours — but extra studying did NOT predict a higher GPA [08:30] They were studying to prove worth, not to learn — and reported more conflict, more academic struggle, more dissatisfaction by end of freshman year [09:30] Key takeaway: you can be motivated to do well without attaching self-worth to the outcome — that's actually the more effective route [10:00] Loosening contingencies isn't surrendering goals — it's refusing to let outcomes or others' judgments dictate your value [10:30] Henry: inadequacy is closer to the truth than insecurity — the belief that we're not enough permeates almost everything [11:00] Buddhist psychology: grasping — endless grasping — as the manifestation of not-enoughness [11:30] No matter how much we get of the thing we think will fill us up, it doesn't last — this tragic gap drives anxiety and depression [12:30] Aimee: feeling inadequate shakes our sense of security and safety — evolutionary roots, we need the group to survive [13:00] Important distinction: self-esteem (rises and falls with performance), fragile self-esteem (staked on outcomes we grasp onto), and self-worth (intrinsic, not performance-dependent) [14:00] Baumeister's challenge to the self-esteem movement of the '80s and '90s — hollow self-esteem building is at best unsubstantiated, potentially harmful [14:30] Baumeister and Vohs, "Narcissism as Addiction to Esteem": chasing self-esteem through reality-detached praise creates a dopamine-like loop — feels good briefly, drops quickly, tolerance builds, need more and more [15:30] The addiction pattern: constantly chasing the next hollow boost, convinced it'll finally hold — and it never does [16:30] Henry: why do we give our lifeblood chasing what we know deep down won't give us what we want? [17:00] The fundamental human drive: to belong — to be seen, appreciated, cared about — once basic biological needs are met [17:30] The tension: deep need to belong vs. the illusion that we are separate and must go it alone [18:00] Neuroscience of belonging: newly born neurons immediately extend to connect with others — if insufficiently connected, they shrivel and die; same for us [19:00] Introduction of perfectionism typologies from Drs. Paul Hewitt and Gordon Flett [19:30] Type 1 — Self-oriented: punishing standards for yourself, intense drive to be perfect and avoid failure [19:45] Type 2 — Other-oriented: same rigid standards applied to others — hard on relationships, linked to more loneliness [20:00] Type 3 — Socially-prescribed: believing others are demanding your perfection and will judge you if you fail — most linked to depression, hopelessness, and possibly suicidal ideation [21:00] Henry: socially-prescribed perfectionism feels like the loneliest of the three — you're playing by rules you didn't design, trapped in a system you didn't agree to [21:30] All three stem from the same root: the fundamental fear of not being enough, of not belonging [22:00] Self-oriented: "If I'm not perfect, I'm not worthy of belonging" — attacking yourself to earn your own permission to exist [22:30] Other-oriented: projecting the fear outward — demanding others meet standards because that's what you believe it takes to matter [23:00] Socially-prescribed: the loneliest — responding to what you believe the world demands, even though that belief deserves to be questioned [23:30] Most of us carry all three — when we can name these patterns, we have a choice; we can loosen the grip [24:00] Aimee: all of these types come from a good place — wanting to matter, wanting others to matter — it's driven by a desire for connection [25:00] Pushback addressed: will believing you're enough make you lazy, entitled, or narcissistic? No — Enoughness is not the same as self-esteem [25:30] Enoughness is a neutral, solid ground — you can feel bad about a mistake and still feel like enough as a person [26:00] When you feel like enough: you can take criticism without your value collapsing; apologize without self-destruction; make mistakes and still belong [27:00] Joy Lab Program Experiment for Enoughness — head to JoyLab.coach [27:30] This is a collective experiment — to feel like enough, we have to offer that to others [28:00] Closing wisdom from Lao-Tzu: "When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you."

Essentials in Leadership | Episode 13 | High Christ Esteem

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 1, 2026 28:30

What happens when our confidence is rooted in ourselves instead of Christ in us? In Episode 13 of "Essentials in Leadership," Duane Sheriff teaches that believers are not called to build high self-esteem, but high Christ-esteem. True confidence is not found in pride, self-promotion, or positive thinking apart from God—it is found in discovering who we are in Christ and learning to live from our new identity in Him.Using Galatians 2, 2 Corinthians 5, and Colossians 3, Duane explains that the "old self" in Adam was crucified with Christ and that every born-again believer has become a new creation. Many insecurities, jealousies, fears, and feelings of inferiority are rooted in identifying with the flesh rather than with the new man in Christ. There is a difference between arrogance and godly confidence. Arrogance trusts in self, while true confidence trusts in Christ in us, the hope of glory. Leaders who develop a high Christ-esteem become secure, joyful, Spirit-led, and equipped to bring light, encouragement, and blessing everywhere they go.

Getting Hammered

Dear sir Philadelphia June 1. 1776 Your favours of May 14. and 22d. are now before me. The first I shewed to Mr. Morris, as soon as I received it. The last contains Intelligence, from Hallifax of the Streights to which our Enemies are reduced, which I was very glad to learn. I am very happy to learn from you and some other of my Friends that Boston is securely fortified; but still I cannot be fully satisfied untill I hear that every unfriendly Flagg is chased out of that Harbour. Cape Ann, I am sensible is a most important Post, and if the Enemy should possess themselves of it, they might distress the Trade of the Colony to a great Degree. For which Reason I am determined to do every Thing in my Power to get it fortified at the Continental Expence. I cant be confident that I shall succeed but it shall not be my Fault if I dont. I am very glad you gave me your Opinion of the Utility of that Harbour and of the Practicability of making it secure, because I was not enough acquainted with it before to speak with Precision about it. Your Observations upon the oppressive severity of the old Regulations of Trade in subjecting Ships and Cargoes to Confiscation for the Indiscretion of a Master or Mariner, and upon the Artifice and Corruption which was introduced respecting Hospital Money, are very just: But if you consider the Resolution of Congress, and that of Virginia of the 15th. of May, the Resolutions of the two Carolinas and Georgia, each of which Colonies, are instituting new Governments, under the Authority of the People; if you consider what is doing at New York, New Jersey, Pensilvania, and even in Maryland, which are all gradually forming themselves into order to follow the Colonies to the Northward and Southward, together with the Treaties with Hesse, Brunswick and Waldeck and the Answer to the Mayor &c. of London; I believe you will be convinced that there is little Probability 2of our ever again coming under the Yoke of British Regulations of Trade. The Cords which connected the two Countries are cutt asunder, and it will not be easy to splice them again, together. I agree with you, in sentiment, that there will be little Difficulty in Trading with France and Spain, a great deal in dealing with Portugal, and some with Holland. Yet by very good Intelligence I am convinced, that there are great Merchants in the United Provinces and even in Amsterdam, who will contract to supply you with any Thing you want, whether Merchandize or military Stores by the Way of Nieuport and Ostend, two Towns which are subject to the Empress of Austria, who has never taken any public Notice of the Dispute between Britain and Us, and has never prohibited her Subjects from supplying us with any Thing. There is a Gentleman, now in this City, a Native of it, and a very worthy Man who has been lately in those Towns as well as Amsterdam, who informs me that he had many Conversations there, with Merchants of figure, and that they assured him they should be glad to contract to furnish us with any Supplies, even upon Credit, for an Interest of four Per Cent.1 Other Intelligence to the same Purpose, with Additions of more Importance, has been sent here. But the Particulars may not be mentioned. Europe seems to be in a great Commotion; altho the Appearance of a perfect Calm is affected, I think this American Contest will light up a general War. What it will end in, God alone knows, to whose wise and righteous Providence I chearfully submit, and am with great Esteem and Respect for the Family, your Friend & servant.

Lesson of the Day 129 - Beyond This World There Is A World I Want with Clare

Voice From Heaven

Play Episode Listen Later May 9, 2026 53:23 Transcription Available

LESSON 129Beyond This World There Is A World I Want.This is the thought that follows from the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot stop with the idea the world is worthless, for unless you see that there is something else to hope for, you will only be depressed. Our emphasis is not on giving up the world, but on exchanging it for what is far more satisfying, filled with joy, and capable of offering you peace. Think you this world can offer that to you?It might be worth a little time to think once more about the value of this world. Perhaps you will concede there is no loss in letting go all thought of value here. The world you see is merciless indeed, unstable, cruel, unconcerned with you, quick to avenge and pitiless with hate. It gives but to rescind, and takes away all things that you have cherished for a while. No lasting love is found, for none is here. This is the world of time, where all things end.Is it a loss to find a world instead where losing is impossible; where love endures forever, hate cannot exist and vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss to find all things you really want, and know they have no ending and they will remain exactly as you want them throughout time? Yet even they will be exchanged at last for what we cannot speak of, for you go from there to where words fail entirely, into a silence where the language is unspoken and yet surely understood.Communication, unambiguous and plain as day, remains unlimited for all eternity. And God Himself speaks to His Son, as His Son speaks to Him. Their language has no words, for what They say cannot be symbolized. Their knowledge is direct and wholly shared and wholly one. How far away from this are you who stay bound to this world. And yet how near are you, when you exchange it for the world you want.Now is the last step certain; now you stand an instant's space away from timelessness. Here can you but look forward, never back to see again the world you do not want. Here is the world that comes to take its place, as you unbind your mind from little things the world sets forth to keep you prisoner. Value them not, and they will disappear. Esteem them, and they will seem real to you.Such is the choice. What loss can be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This world holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead you want indeed! Let it be given you today. It waits but for your choosing it, to take the place of all the things you seek but do not want.Practice your willingness to make this change ten minutes in the morning and at night, and once more in between. Begin with this:Beyond this world there is a world I want.I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is nothing that I really want.Then close your eyes upon the world you see, and in the silent darkness watch the lights that are not of this world light one by one, until where one begins another ends loses all meaning as they blend in one.Today the lights of Heaven bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest beyond the world of darkness. Here is light your eyes cannot behold. And yet your mind can see it plainly, and can understand. A day of grace is given you today, and we give thanks. This day we realize that what you feared to lose was only loss.Now do we understand there is no loss. For we have seen its opposite at last, and we are grateful that the choice is made. Remember your decision hourly, and take a moment to confirm your choice by laying by whatever thoughts you have, and dwelling briefly only upon this:The world I see holds nothing that I want.Beyond this world there is a world I want.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Keep my commandments, and live. 5 Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don't forget, and don't deviate from the words of my mouth. 6 Don't forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you. 7 Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding. 8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor when you embrace her. 9 She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you.” 10 Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many. 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths. 12 When you go, your steps will not be hampered.

Send us Fan MailJob has friends who can quote true things about God all day long, but Job still sits in ashes with no comfort and no explanation. That's where we camp out as we continue our verse by verse Bible study through the Book of Job, focusing on Job 36 and the speech of Elihu. He's younger, louder, and convinced he's defending God's righteousness with “perfect knowledge” on his side. The problem is not that Elihu only says false things. The problem is what happens when true statements get forced into a neat story that doesn't fit the sufferer.We walk through Elihu's claims about God's power, wisdom, justice, and mercy, then slow down when he reframes suffering and affliction as correction. Is hardship always pointing to sin? Is it discipline meant to open our ears? Or can it be something else entirely? Our group discussion tests Elihu's logic against the full context of Job, including the dangerous idea that obedience guarantees prosperity and that pain proves guilt. Along the way, we talk about transgression, repentance, hypocrisy, and what “humility” really means when someone is already crushed.This is a practical conversation for anyone doing Christian discipleship, pastoral care, or simply trying to make sense of suffering without turning God into a formula. We end by naming the tension Elihu never resolves: Job's real “why” is still unanswered until God speaks.

Send us Fan MailSomeone can say a lot of true things about God and still miss the moment completely. That's the question driving our deep dive into Elihu's speeches in the Book of Job: are we hearing wise correction, or a softer form of the same accusation Job's friends keep pressing?We argue through the turning point in Job 32 where the narrator says Elihu's anger is kindled against Job, then trace what that anger produces. On one side, Elihu's theology is strong: God is great, God teaches perfectly, no one can accuse God of wrongdoing, and creation itself displays God's power. On the other side, we keep asking the pastoral question: what does any of that do for Job's actual suffering? If the warning is “don't choose sin in affliction,” is Elihu applying a true principle to the wrong person?Along the way, we bring in Job 33 and Job 36, discuss whether Elihu misquotes Job's words, and explore why a “correct” speech can still feel like blame. If you care about Christian suffering, biblical lament, God's sovereignty, and what wise counsel sounds like in real life, this conversation will sharpen how you read Job and how you speak to hurting people.Subscribe for more Bible-centered conversations, share this with a friend who loves Job, and leave a review.

Send us Fan MailThunder, clouds, and changing weather sound like small talk until you realize Elihu is using them to make a towering claim: God actively rules the world. We sit with Job 36:30–33 and trace Elihu's argument that the same creation God uses to feed people can also bring storms, harsh seasons, and judgment. That launches us into the deeper issue behind so many conversations about suffering and the sovereignty of God: if God is truly in control, what is a hurting person supposed to do with that truth? We push on a hard question that shows up in real pastoral care and real friendships. Elihu says many correct things about God's power, wisdom, and providence, but does any of it actually help Job's specific situation? We talk through the difference between knowing doctrine and gaining understanding through affliction, and why reminders of God's greatness can feel hollow when someone is “in the toilet” emotionally. We also weigh whether Elihu is simply defending God or whether he is, in fact, accusing Job of pride, empty talk, and even rebellion, just with a more sophisticated tone than the three friends. Along the way, we challenge arguments from silence, ask what it means to “defend God” while you're suffering, and name the tension between right theology and right timing. If you care about the Book of Job, Christian suffering, biblical wisdom, and the question of why the righteous suffer, you'll find plenty here to think through with us.

Send us Fan MailElihu's speeches can sound like worship, but they can also feel like a sermon aimed at an open wound. We sat with that tension and argued it out: does Elihu actually accuse Job, or is he doing something “better” than the three friends by framing suffering as correction instead of condemnation? We camped in Job 35:16 and the surrounding logic, because one verse can be both accurate and weaponized, and that difference matters when you're trying to comfort someone in real pain.From there, we zoomed out to what the Book of Job teaches about the way we speak. We talked about how easy it is to hide judgment inside general statements about prosperity, obedience, and God's greatness, and why “right theology” is not the same as a right heart. Several of us connected Job's miserable silence and boils with Jesus' warnings about religious words that sound beautiful while hearts stay far away, and we asked a hard question: are we tending wounds, or just talking?We also explored the bigger backdrop that makes Job so staggering. Scripture hints that God's wisdom is displayed beyond earth, that angelic beings watch and learn, and that faith under suffering may be teaching more than we realize. That reframes endurance, humility, and repentance as public realities in a spiritual sense, even when life feels private and unfair.If you've ever tried to help a hurting friend and worried you might say the wrong thing, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security CEO Joe Saunders and special guests Mario Zuniga and Matt Janson of MITRE to discuss the “invisible attack surface” lurking within embedded and cyber-physical systems. Drawing on their frontline experience in cyber operations and resiliency engineering, Mario and Matt explain why embedded systems demand a fundamentally different approach to cybersecurity. From limited patching capabilities and long system lifecycles to unique hardware and firmware attack vectors, traditional IT security models fall short in these environments. Together, they discuss: Why embedded systems are often overlooked in cybersecurity strategiesHow attackers exploit firmware, hardware interfaces, and air-gapped environmentsThe challenges of securing systems that must remain operational for decadesThe role of MITRE's embedded threat matrix (ESTEEM) in mapping adversary behaviorWhy resilience—not just prevention—is key to defending critical infrastructure From industrial control systems to national defense, this episode reveals what it takes to secure the technologies that quietly underpin modern society and why the time to act is now.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from RunSafe Security, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
