The David Alliance TDAGiantSlayer@gmail.com Garth Heckman Expectations Craig Randall drives a garbage truck in Peabody, Massachusetts. in a garbage container one day, he noticed a Wendy's soft drink cup bearing a contest sticker. Having won a chicken sandwich the week before, Randall checked it, hoping for some french fries or a soft drink. Instead, he peeled a sticker worth $200,000 toward the construction of a new home, reports U.S. News and World Report (11/6/95). What we get out of life depends a lot on what we look for. Are we more likely to see each experience as trash or a potential treasure? Maybe you've played this game before… Look around and find everything green. Now close your eyes and tell me what is blue. **What are you looking for? Puppy watching is a life of expectation… is he going to chew my chair, poop on my chair, pee on my chair, jump from my chair… every move he makes is a move of expectation on my part. Christmas is a time of EXPECTATION Children expecting… waiting… knowing there will be presents under the tree. I used to get up Christmas morning at 4am! **have you lost that loving feeling… of expectation FAITH, HOPE, EXPECTATION Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith… you have faith that in the future you will get married and have a family. YOU GET MARRIED: You now hope to have a baby. YOU GET PREGNANT: you are expecting. There are signs/evidence you are pregnant. **Living in a state of signs… building expectation. Eager Anticipation of the Future Romans 8:19 (NIV): "For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.” FULLY REDEEMED. *(This highlights the intense, longing nature of the anticipation for the final redemption.) Earnest expectation--A single word in the Greek, and a very striking one. It means, literally, a straining forward with outstretched head, just as we might imagine the crowds outside a race-course straining over the ropes to catch a sight of the runners; an eager, intent expectation. The same word is used once again in the New Testament (Philippians 1:20). God expects us to expect! Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! 12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Expectation creates participation… Expectation creates participation in Gods plan Jesus reveals a principle here: If we truly expect God to act for us, we must be willing to let Him act through us. If I claim to trust God for provision, favor, and breakthrough, but refuse to be a vessel of those same things to others, then I am not operating in expectation—I am operating in self-interest. If my faith stops at “God, do for me,” but never reaches “God, flow through me,” then I am not trusting God—I am trusting my own control. Real faith doesn't just ask; it allows. Option 4: Illustrative and Relational The Golden Rule is not just about behavior—it's about belief. If I expect God to respond when I call, I must also be willing to respond when He calls on me. Faith that only receives but never releases isn't faith at all—it's spiritual entitlement. But when I allow God to use me for others, I demonstrate that I truly trust Him to take care of me. Expectation without participation in Gods plan is not faith. **Remember whatever you look for you see, you find- and you can enter into - expectation is looking through Gods spirit. VERSE 12 “For This Is the Law and the Prophets” This is massive. Jesus is saying: The entire Old Testament ethical vision Every command about justice, mercy, love, and holiness …can be summed up in this one relational principle. In other words: If you get this right, you are living out the heart of God's law. This aligns with Jesus' later words: “Love the Lord your God… and love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matt. 22:37–40)

4th Sunday of Advent Gospel Matthew 1:18-24 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means "God is with us." When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.
"It's better to be a mystic and to be different because if being a mystic means you see the invisible, hear the inaudible, and feel the intangible, then I want to be a mystic." —Prophet Paul Cain

In the relentless pursuit of love, a lot of people aren't heartbroken anymore — they're emotionally exhausted. After endless swiping, half-connections, and hopeful starts that go nowhere, many hit a wall. That wall has a name: dating burnout.Dating burnout isn't just frustration. It's weariness. It's numbness. It's that quiet voice saying, “Why bother?” It shows up as anxiety, self-doubt, cynicism, or complete emotional shutdown.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger addresses perfectionism and why the drive to be perfect quietly sabotages us, fuelling procrastination and self-doubt. The pursuit of flawlessness seems like a noble quest, but it proves to be a cleverly disguised trap that delays progress and increases our stress. What is the alternative to perfectionism? Cindy explains that sustainable excellence is what we should strive for over perfection. It's a balance of ambition with self-compassion that protects our mental health and rebuilds confidence. Perfectionism becomes a loop that urges us to set impossibly high standards, feel anxious about meeting those standards, avoid the task due to the pressure we created, finally get the task done in a panic, and then, exhausted, still believe we could have done better. Flawlessness is damaging and drives us to constantly outdo ourselves. Cindy points out five ways in which perfectionism messes with our performance, well-being, and career growth: 1. Expectation, escalation, and burnout, 2. Mental health fallout, 3. Inconsistent performance, 4. Refusal to delegate, and 5. Plateaued growth. Cindy advises that we shift our energy from being perfect to being more strategic. She explains intentional imperfection and how it involves choosing where to be excellent and where to be average on purpose. She offers five strategies for moving away from the perfectionism trap: 1. Use time, not outcome, to set boundaries, 2. Get honest about the trade-offs, 3. Practice planned procrastination, 4. Recalibrate what enough means, and 5. Intentionally choose where to excel. It's okay to want to be great, but greatness doesn't come from being perfect. It comes from showing up consistently and learning through missteps.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Letting GoAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Fr Antony Jukes says Zechariah showed that his deepest desire was not personal ambition, but that his child become who God intended—filled with the Holy Spirit and a witness to Christ
And as **the people were in expectation,** and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; (Luke 3:15) *1/ In expectation of Christ coming as the seed of the woman - Luke 3:15 2/ In expectation of Christ coming to our hearts - John 14:18 & Colossians 1:27 3/ In expectation of Christ coming in the clouds with power and great glory - Luke 21:27 & Hebrews 9:28* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the biblical concept of expectation as a vital spiritual posture rooted in God's promises, Scripture, and personal experience. It unfolds in threefold focus: first, the Old Testament anticipation of Christ as the promised Seed of the woman, fulfilled in His incarnation, life, death, and resurrection, as revealed through prophecy and lineage; second, the ongoing expectation of Christ's personal revelation in the heart through the preaching of the Word, where faith is given, especially in the new birth and daily walk with God; and third, the future hope of Christ's return in glory, when believers—both living and deceased—will be united with Him in resurrection and rapture, a hope that comforts the bereaved and fuels holy anticipation. Throughout, the preacher emphasizes that true expectation is not based on human speculation or cultural assumptions, but on the infallible Word of God, the historical fulfilment of prophecy, and the personal work of the Holy Spirit, ensuring that God's promises will not be cut off. This living hope, grounded in divine faithfulness, calls believers to vigilance, joy, and steadfast faith, knowing that Christ is both present in grace and coming in power.
Joseph Sternberg challenges the Trump administration's antagonistic view of the EU, citing polls showing the institution remains popular among Europeans. He argues that US policy should not be based on the expectation of the EU's collapse, noting that the UK's exit was unique to its specific history and not a continental trend. 1810 BRUSSELS
Last week we uncovered the Expectation Trap — the moment you realize you're holding someone to your internal rulebook and feeling irritated, disappointed, or flat-out furious when they don't follow it. This week, we take it further. Because once you see the trap clearly, the real question becomes: now what?This episode breaks down your three actual moves when someone's behavior clashes with your values, standards, or instincts: let it go, make an adjustment, or enforce a boundary. These choices help you reclaim your steadiness, drop unnecessary resentment, and lead your home with more intention, especially during the holiday pressure cooker.In This Episode, You'll Learn:How your expectations get built — and why the internal ones hit the hardestThe power of choosing your battles instead of reacting from urgency or indignationWhy “letting it go” is sometimes the most strategic move in an autism householdWhat adjusting looks like when someone simply operates differently than youHow to enforce a boundary without drama, panic, or self-judgmentWhen you stop holding people to your personal rulebook, you stop burning energy on the wrong things and free up bandwidth for what actually matters to you.Ready to take this work deeper?Work with Me: This is where we clean up the mental load, the resentment, and the overfunctioning so you have capacity again: https://talkwiththeautismmomcoach.as.me
Ever feel like the more you expect from yourself, the tighter you get? The pressure builds. Your focus slips. And instead of living free, you start overthinking every move – at work, at home, on the field, wherever you compete. Let's be real. High expectations don't automatically lead to high performance. In fact, when your mind is overloaded with expectations, your performance usually pays the price. What feels like discipline often turns into pressure, anxiety, and hesitation. What I've learned through my work with pro and executive athletes is simple but counterintuitive: performance doesn't come from expectation – it comes from preparation. And when your preparation is dialed in, freedom shows up. Freedom fuels confidence. And confidence unlocks your best game. In this week's 5-Minute Drill on Coming Up Clutch with J.R™, I break down the exact mindset shift and 3-step strategy I use with elite competitors to help them: Stop choking under pressure and start playing free Reallocate expectations from results to preparation Trust the outcome while staying locked into the process So if you're tired of gripping tighter and getting worse… If you're frustrated that your talent isn't translating into consistent performance… And if you want to bring your best – not just at work, but at home too – this episode is for you! In this episode, you'll hear: Why overloading yourself with high performance expectations often leads to worse results. The story of an MLB player who immediately regained freedom, confidence, and high-level performance after one subtle shift in his mindset. Science-backed reasons that explain why focusing on preparation over outcomes is a must. A powerful biblical example from the story of David and Goliath about how trusting God and leaning into your preparation leads to victory. The 3-step strategy to overcome the expectation trap. Key Quotes "When your mind is overloaded with performance expectations, your performance typically pays the price." - J.R. "Preparation creates freedom. Freedom fuels performance." - J.R. "We're not guaranteed success because of high expectations. We're put in better position to enjoy success because of our preparation." - J.R. Connect with J.R.

In this episode, Julia explores what it truly means to give from the heart, especially during the season of giving. She shares how going the extra mile without expectation, without keeping score opens your life energetically and spiritually. This is a grounded, intentional reminder that generosity is not about the act itself, but about the energy behind it. When you give from fullness, life gives back in ways you could never predict.

In this Advent message, we explore the powerful, often misunderstood nature of biblical hope through 1 Corinthians 13, Romans 8, and Romans 5. Scripture shows us that hope is both eternal and temporal: it endures beyond this life, yet it sustains us right now as we wait in the tension between promise and fulfillment. This teaching unpacks: • The difference between cultural "wishful thinking" and biblical hope (elpis) • Why faith, hope, and love remain — even when other things pass away • How hope operates in seasons of suffering and waiting • Why hope does not disappoint, even when life is painful • How the Holy Spirit intercedes for us and anchors us in God's love If you're weary, waiting, or struggling to hold on to hope in the middle of suffering, this message will remind you that God is faithful, His promises are sure, and the glory to come far outweighs the trials of this present age. Be encouraged. Keep hoping. God is not finished yet.

In Episode 234: Expectation Roadblocks, I'm diving into one of the biggest hidden barriers to connection—especially during the holidays, on the mission, and in our closest relationships: expectations. This time of year brings an avalanche of pressure—how we "should" show up, how others "should" behave, how family gatherings "should" feel. But in this episode, I unpack why expectations—spoken or unspoken—almost always create disconnection, frustration, resentment, and emotional distance. And more importantly, I show you how to shift from expectation to true connection, autonomy, compassion, and emotional maturity. You'll learn why expectations feel like safety to your caveman brain, why they function as subtle attempts at emotional control, and how they create unnecessary pain—for both the person holding the expectation and the person living under it. I walk you through real-life mission examples, family dynamics, missionary companionships, and holiday interactions to show exactly how expectation roadblocks form—and how to move beyond them using supportive tools like boundaries, requests, intentions, emotional ownership, and unconditional Christlike love. We'll talk about the signs you're stuck in expectation mode, the emotional fallout it creates, and the powerful mindset shifts that help you release pressure, drop resentment, and create genuine connection with the people in your life—companions, roommates, family members, mission leaders, friends, and even yourself. If you want more peace, more authenticity, and more connection this season (and always), this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

Notes: Contract Law Exam Ready GuideUnderstanding Contract Law Remedies: Expectation, Reliance, and RestitutionThis conversation delves into the intricacies of contract remedies, focusing on the primary types: expectation, reliance, and restitution. It emphasizes the importance of compensation over punishment in contract law, exploring the limitations on damages, special rules under the UCC, and the concept of equitable remedies. The discussion provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how damages are calculated and the legal principles that govern them, making it essential for law students preparing for exams.In the realm of contract law, understanding remedies is crucial for both students and practitioners. The primary goal of contract remedies is compensation, not punishment, aiming to place the non-breaching party in the position they would have been if the contract had been performed as promised. Let's delve into the three main types of remedies: expectation, reliance, and restitution.Expectation Damages: The Default RemedyExpectation damages are the most common remedy, designed to give the injured party the benefit of the bargain. This involves calculating the value of what was promised minus what was actually received, adding any incidental or consequential losses, and subtracting any costs avoided due to the breach. This forward-looking approach ensures the injured party receives the future they were promised.Reliance Damages: Looking BackwardWhen expectation damages are too speculative, reliance damages come into play. This remedy aims to restore the injured party to their pre-contract position by reimbursing expenses incurred in reliance on the contract. It's particularly useful in cases where future profits are uncertain, such as new business ventures.Restitution: Preventing Unjust EnrichmentRestitution shifts the focus from the injured party's loss to the breaching party's gain. This remedy ensures that the breaching party does not unfairly benefit from the contract. It's especially relevant in scenarios where the market value of the work done exceeds the contract price, allowing the non-breaching party to recover the reasonable value of their services.Key Limitations and ConsiderationsContract law also imposes limitations on these remedies, including foreseeability, certainty, and the duty to mitigate damages. These constraints ensure that damages are reasonable and justifiable. Additionally, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) provides specific rules for the sale of goods, emphasizing real-world mitigation strategies.In conclusion, understanding these remedies and their limitations is essential for navigating contract law effectively. Whether you're preparing for an exam or dealing with a real-world contract dispute, mastering these concepts will equip you with the tools needed to achieve fair compensation.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in contract law.TakeawaysThe goal of contract remedies is compensation, not punishment.Expectation damages aim to put the injured party in the position they would have been in if the contract had been performed.Reliance damages restore the status quo ante, reimbursing expenses incurred in reliance on the contract.Restitution focuses on preventing unjust enrichment of the breaching party.Damages must be proven with reasonable certainty; speculation is not enough.The injured party has a duty to mitigate their losses after a breach.The Lost Volume Seller doctrine allows sellers to recover lost profits even after reselling goods.Specific performance is an equitable remedy used when money damages are inadequate.Liquidated damages clauses must be reasonable estimates of potential losses, not penalties.contract law, remedies, expectation damages, reliance damages, restitution, UCC, equitable remedies, legal principles, compensation, breach of contract

Join our community of unreasonable leaders achieving undeniable success: https://www.findingpeak.com Watch on YouTube: https://link.ryanhanley.com/youtube It's a common myth that businesses die because of their competition. The truth is, they die because they fail to understand what their customers actually expect. In this episode, I break down a framework I've used to help hundreds of leaders and build my own multiple seven-figure business: The Customer Expectation Triangle of Death. We'll explore the three distinct ages of business—Analog, Digital, and the Age of AI—and how customer expectations have evolved through each. You'll learn why simply having a quality product at a good price is no longer enough, and what you need to focus on right now to separate your business from the noise and achieve escape velocity. This isn't just theory. This is the practical, no-BS framework for building a business that lasts. Key Takeaways: The Real Reason Businesses Fail: It's not your competition; it's your failure to understand evolving customer expectations. The Three Ages of Business: Learn the critical shifts between the Analog Age (pre-2000), the Digital Age (2000-2020), and the Age of AI (2020-present). The Triangle Framework: Deconstruct the three core pillars of customer expectation: Quality, Price, and Speed/Ease of Delivery. The Rise of Experience: Understand why the Digital Age made a seamless customer experience the absolute baseline for any viable business. Winning in the Age of AI: Discover why "Signal"—trust, connection, and authenticity—is the ultimate differentiator in today's market.

How do Buddhists make sense of anger? In this podcast, Bhante Sathi explains that anger becomes harmful only when we identify with it or rationalize it, and that mindfulness allows us to observe anger as what it is rather than claiming it. Through examples of everyday reactions and Buddhist concepts, Bhante Sathi illustrates how anger often masks deeper emotions and becomes habitual “mind food” when left unexamined. By befriending anger—treating it like a difficult visitor—we can learn from it, prevent it from controlling us, and ultimately transform it into a powerful teacher.

In this Sunday solo, Sarah breaks down what “reading subtle energy” actually feels like in real life: soft, fast, surprising, and usually easy to dismiss. She shares how presence (and loosening ego/expectations) strengthens intuition, why most intuitive info doesn't arrive like a crystal-clear movie or voice memo, and how real-time feedback with a practice partner can change everything. Along the way, she tells powerful stories—like a psychometry exercise that unexpectedly brought through “horse energy,” and a moving reading where a father's apology, a closet door with white slats, and two dragonflies opened the door to forgiveness, humor, and closure. Subtle energy is quiet and quick. If you're waiting for fireworks, you'll miss the “pops.” Your body is a YES/NO instrument. “Random nope,” “full-body hell yeah,” chills, pressure, emotion shifts—these can be intuitive language. Presence is the gateway to presence. To feel Spirit with you, your awareness has to be in the current moment. Expectation shrinks the channel. When you “need it to be this,” you filter out the bigger message (and Spirit doesn't obey ceilings). Intuition arrives clean—then the mind narrates. The moment you hesitate, analysis takes over and the signal fades. Practice partners create traction. Feedback + intention = learning faster (and trusting yourself sooner). Evidence can be both tender and funny. A reading can hold shame + forgiveness + dragonflies + a cocktail-party couple saying “just take it.” Guided writing is a real, accessible tool. Calm state + pen moving = a channel for gentle, guiding language. “Expectation kills openness.” “For most of my life… I had no idea what reading energy meant. I thought that energy was what I was billed for monthly to keep my electricity running.” Lauren Robertson's Class "Platform Perfection" - 10% off for listeners with code MEDIUM at checkout.

We all know one difficult person in our life who, despite our best efforts, doesn't seem to want to be kind to us. But what if we viewed those situations as opportunities for compassion and inner clarity rather than obstacles? In this podcast, Bhante Sathi explains that, according to the Buddha, compassion toward those who treat us unkindly arises from recognising their limitations, letting go of expectations, and holding the same unconditional attitude a wise parent has toward a struggling child. Mindfulness allows us to see that suffering comes from our own expectations, helps us catch our reactions in the moment, and guides us to step away from harmful situations without responding with anger.
Today we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Kruti Lehenbauer, Founder of Analytics TX. Kruti is a longtime statistician and economic consultant who has held leadership roles across analytics, data, and research. She holds a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Political Economy and helps organizations audit business data, uncover hidden efficiencies, and navigate strategic planning, AI adoption, and more. She regularly shares thought-provoking insights and translates complex analysis into clear, actionable takeaways. We were delighted to hear her perspectives on interest rates, inflation, tariffs, and more ahead of next week's Fed meeting. In our conversation, we explore the “panic narrative” around the economy and why the past five years may feel worse than what the long-run trends suggest. We discuss the health of the U.S. economy, whether we're truly in a unique moment, how rapid interest rate hikes have worsened the debt picture, and why Kruti believes rates should already be moving back toward ~3%. She shares why the expectation that “everything must rise exponentially” is misguided, invoking Joan Robinson's reminder that “in the long run we are all dead, but not all at once.” We cover what data Kruti thinks the Fed should focus on (employment, GDP, true inflation) versus short-term headlines and political noise, the interplay between aggregate demand and aggregate supply, and why productivity and technology matter most for long-run growth. Kruti also explains how tariffs effectively raise real interest rates, how consumers adapt, and the flaws she sees in how we measure inflation today. We touch on why she believes fears of mass job loss from AI are overblown, the importance of adaptation, and her concerns about declining quality in higher education and its impact on high-skill labor and future productivity. We address fiscal versus monetary policy, why overreliance on the Fed is risky, and long-run structural issues including savings behavior, financial literacy, and long-dated household debt. We also discuss India's role as a rising economic partner and end with the “magic-wand” reforms Kruti would prioritize including leaner government, updated inflation metrics, and policies that expand the economy's productive frontier rather than over-managing it. It was a thought-provoking discussion. Mike Bradley kicked us off by noting that broader equity markets rallied on a rebound in Bitcoin, bond yields have been inching higher, crude oil remains under pressure, U.S. natural gas price continues to surge, and copper prices are hitting all-time highs. The 10-year bond yield inched higher this week to ~4.1%, after trading near 4% last week, on rumors that Kevin Hassett is the front-runner for Federal Reserve Chairman. Bond volatility will likely continue into the December 10th FOMC meeting. The DJIA and S&P 500 were both up on the day but remain flattish to slightly lower for the week, with Technology leading and Energy lagging. On the oil market front, WTI price continues to be under pressure (trading just under $59/bbl) due to continuing concern around an early 2026 global oil surplus (~2-4mmbpd). This bearish oil thesis/trade is very-very-very consensus. OPEC+ convened over the weekend and agreed, as expected, to pause oil output hikes through Q126 and to call for third-party verification of OPEC+ members Maximum Sustainable Capacity for 2027 production baselines. He closed by highlighting that cold weather has finally arrived, spiking prompt U.S. natural gas price to ~$5/MMBtu (while the 12-month strip holds steady at ~$4.15/MMBtu). He noted the remarkable surge in Lower-48 dry gas production, from 108-109bcfpd a month ago to a weekend peak of ~114bcfpd, now settling in at 112-113bcfpd. Jeff Tillery shared a few themes he's watching heading into the next few quarters. In traditional energy, oilfield services stocks are jumping even as oil prices fall, raising the question of whether the market is signali
Send us a textOur faith in God gives us the confidence we need. Faith functions as confident trust in God rather than a push to make everything happen on our own. How do we exercise patient endurance? Why is patient endurance not passive waiting but an active, steady posture that keeps us doing God's will?Our mindset of faith is a divinely inspired framework to turn vision into reality: expectation, anticipation, preparation, and realization. Expectation begins when we receive a promise; anticipation imagines the future joy and impact; preparation translates belief into obedient steps taken in response to God's guidance and timing; realization is the fruit that arrives in due season. Satan attacks us in our minds. His tactic is to create doubts.Often, he whispers, "How can you make that happen?"A key insight is that we don't make things happen. We receive by faith what God has already provided.God gives us a decisive response. Submit to God's faithfulness, power, and love; resist the thought in Jesus' name, and then proclaim your promise from God aloud. Practice this regularly to build confidence and align your heart with God's Word, reinforcing your faith during spiritual battles.Our daily mindset becomes a practiced response. Over time, we learn to focus on the next step as God directs, to rest in the wisdom of His perfect timing, and to allow Him to lead us into the realization of His plan for us.Your life will positively impact your family, colleagues, clients, and those you meet along the way.Listen to God's plan and receive courage to keep going, a plan to move forward, and power to fight doubt. The outcome of expectation, anticipation, and preparation is the realization of God's promises in your life.https://www.seldicompany.com/
Now that we are only a few weeks away from the Playoffs. Jones and Keefe reset expectations for this Patriots team based on where they are now and how the rest of the league looks.
In this episode, Pastor Matt invites us into a deeper posture of holy expectation — not hype, not striving, but the steady awareness that every moment is already sacred because every moment is union.We explore what it means to live awake to the Presence we already carry, to prepare our hearts not through effort but through tenderness, and to recognize the appointed moments where heaven and earth meet.This message calls us to end the ebb-and-flow mindset, embrace the truth that we are God's resting place, and step into the kind of expectation that opens the heart instead of exhausting it.If you're hungry for a lifestyle of union, communion, and holy anticipation, this teaching will mark you.Listen and lean in — awareness is the doorway, and union is the invitation
