In this episode, I explain why too much explanation signals weak positioning. When you are in a position of authority, your job is to make decisions, not constantly justify them. The moment you start explaining yourself too much, the frame shifts from leadership to justification, and that weakens your authority. I break down how leaders hold their position by standing on decisions instead of negotiating their legitimacy. When you understand this, you stop over explaining and start leading with clarity and certainty. Show Notes: [04:43]#1 Explanation can communicate that permission is required.

March 15th, 2026 | No Other Gospel | Galatians 2:11-21Pastor Todd Kaunitz continues the No Other Gospel series with a powerful look at Galatians 2:11–21, highlighting both confrontation and clarity when it comes to the truth of the Gospel.Through a striking real-life illustration and Paul's face-to-face confrontation with Peter, we're reminded of a challenging but essential truth: no one outgrows the Gospel. Even seasoned believers can fall into fear, compromise, and spiritual blind spots. When Peter withdraws from Gentile believers out of fear of man, Paul boldly calls him out—not to shame him, but to protect the integrity of the Gospel.This passage leads into one of the clearest explanations of the Gospel in the New Testament. Pastor Todd unpacks what it means to be justified by faith alone—not by works of the law—and why our standing before God rests entirely on the finished work of Jesus Christ. The law exposes our need but cannot save; only Jesus can declare us righteous.But the Gospel doesn't stop at justification. It continues into sanctification—Christ actively at work within us. Galatians 2:20 reminds us that we have been crucified with Christ, and now live by faith in Him. To rely on ourselves is to nullify grace; to trust in Jesus is to experience ongoing transformation.This message is both a wake-up call and an invitation: Where might fear or compromise be shaping your life? And are you truly trusting in the finished and ongoing work of Christ?Listen in and rediscover the power of the Gospel—not just for salvation, but for every day of your life.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠⁠

Saturday, 14 March 2026   An explanation of the overall pictorial contents of Matthew 17.   Chapter 17 of Matthew completes a picture that has been ongoing for several chapters. In Chapter 14, there was a snapshot of Israel's history in relation to the law. Chapter 15 then gave a picture of what is going on in the world from the time Jesus fulfilled the law until the rapture. Chapter 16 revealed a passage that petitions the Jews of the end times to consider who Jesus is based on their own history, comparing it to how He is portrayed in Scripture.   Chapter 17 began with the words “after six days.” It is a reference to the six days of creation, which mirror the six thousand years of man's time before the millennium, the seventh day, the day of God's rest on earth –   “And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious.” Isaiah 11:10   Jesus took Peter, James, and John up on a high mountain. Peter is the apostle to the circumcision (Galatians 2:7), James was the first apostle to die, and John was the last. This is an honor that James and John had sought, but in a different way –   “Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him. 21 And He said to her, ‘What do you wish?' She said to Him, ‘Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.'” Matthew 20:20, 21   In one respect, Jesus granted the request concerning the placement of apostolic honor. These three men form a triad of witnesses to the Jews. There on the high mountain, Jesus metamorphosed before them. Moses and Elijah, representing the law and the prophets as well as the living and the dead, appeared along with Jesus.   Peter, whose epistles are strategically placed after Paul's, indicating they are addressed to the end times Jews after the church age, offered to build three tabernacles, dwelling places, for them. The voice of the Father came out of the cloud, noting that it is His Son, Jesus, in whom He is well pleased, and that they were to hear Him.   It is the final lesson of the end times. The law and prophets are not what the Jews are to focus on, but Jesus. It is His glory alone that will take them into the millennium, the law being finally removed from Israel (see Hebrews 8:13).   While descending the mountain, the disciples asked Him why the scribes said that Elijah was to come first. Jesus said, “Elijah indeed, he comes first, and he will reconstitute all” (17:11). Elijah is literally coming back to witness to Israel. However, Jesus also noted that Elijah had come already. The disciples understood this to mean John the Baptist.   The indication is that Israel will understand from these two appearances that they missed the ball, and the troubles they have faced were a self-inflicted wound. Verses 14-17 detail the healing of the man's son. No names of people or locations were given, just a description of the boy being moonstruck and suffering badly because he frequently fell into the fire and f  requently into the water.   It is a picture of Israel in their history before the Lord, completely untreatable, even by the disciples (their witness to Israel) –   “Your affliction is incurable, Your wound is severe. 13 There is no one to plead your cause, That you may be bound up; You have no healing medicines.” Jeremiah 30:12, 13   See also Micah 1:8,9.   Jesus called them a faithless and perverse generation, something that exactingly describes Israel. It is a point stated to the Jews by Peter in Acts 2:40. Despite their failure, it says that Jesus rebuked the demon, and it left the child that very hour. Israel's wound will be cured immediately at the return of Christ.   When the disciples asked why they couldn't cast it out, Jesus said it was because of their unbelief and that that kind could only go out by fasting and prayer. Jesus doesn't say who must fast and pray. Rather, He says it is a part of such healing.   Fasting is a sign of mourning and repentance toward God. Prayer is the means by which God is petitioned.  In the future, at the time of Christ's return, Israel will, like ancient Nineveh, fast and pray to the Lord. When they do, they will be healed.   The final verses of the chapter referred first to them “overturning” in the Galilee (verse 22). The word was anastrephó. As explained, one can return without any intent or change in the way things are, or one can return while considering, making changes, redirecting to something new, etc. It is also used as a word indicating contrast.   It is the state of Israel after having been healed. There is a return with a considered change, redirecting them to something new. They will enter the New Covenant, returning to God in a new way. That wording is based on Jesus' words about the Son of Man being betrayed into the hands of men, being killed, and being raised on the third day (verse 23).   That is the exact gospel Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4. Israel will be overturned in their thinking by finally accepting, as Paul says, “the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved” (1 Corinthians 15:1,2).   In verse 24, it says that they came to Capernaum. The name is derived from kaphar, to cover, as in atonement, and Nahum, the name of the prophet. However, Nahum is derived from nakham, to sigh. The sense of the word extends to regretting, feeling sorry, and being or getting comfort.   All three of these are tied up in the thought of salvation. While in this location, those who received the temple tax asked if the Teacher paid the tax. Peter's answer in verse 25 was that He did. The tax, as explained, was based on the ransom money (silver) described in Exodus 30:11-16. It is the money representing salvation through Christ's sacrifice, ransoming man from the power of the devil.   Still in verse 25, Jesus preanticipated Peter by asking about paying such taxes, does that come from the king's sons or from unfamiliars (those outside the family). The word used was prophthanó, to get an earlier start on a matter.   Jesus didn't just speak of the matter of Israel's salvation before they asked for it. He spoke of the matter before they could ask. In other words, the Bible has clearly proclaimed that Israel will once again be God's people. Their ransom money had been procured long before they knew there was a need for it. This was preanticipated by God in Christ.   Peter's response to Jesus about the tax was from unfamilars. Jesus said, “Hence, the sons, they are exempt.” It is a point that will apply to Israel after the Lord returns. Being sons of God (as a nation), once again, they will be free from such payment.   Verse 27 described the manner in which Peter would find such a coin to pay the taxes. It was provided by Jesus in a miraculous way. Likewise, Israel will not pay anything for their ransom. Rather, it will be provided by Christ's all-sufficient payment at the cross of Calvary.   The final words of the chapter recorded Jesus' words to Peter, “That, having taken, you give to them for Me and you.” Jesus' work leading to His resurrection is what validated both His and Israel's sonship.   For Jesus, that is recorded in Romans 1:4, where it says, “and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” See also Hebrews 1:5.   For Israel of the end times, pictured by Peter, the apostle to the circumcision, it is belief in the gospel that will bring about their state of sonship. The tax is paid through the miracle-working power of God in Christ.   Life application: Chapter 17 of Matthew clearly indicates that there is a future for Israel, the people. They are restored to the land of Israel as prophesied in God's word. They will never be uprooted from it again, according to that same word –   “‘I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. 15 I will plant them in their land, And no longer shall they be pulled up From the land I have given them,' Says the Lord your God.” Amos 9:14, 15   This is good news for Israel. However, for Israel at this time, the news is not so good. They are not currently God's people (Hosea 1:9, 10 & Romans 9:25, 26). Not being God's people, they are also not sons of God. That right has been stripped from them at this time.   Rather, Jesus clearly notes that their father is the devil –   “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” John 8:44-47   To reject Jesus is to reject God because Jesus is God and the Son of the Father. Jesus calls Israel during this dispensation a “synagogue of Satan” in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. Calling them God's people at this time does a disservice to them. What they need is evangelism, not coddling, sycophancy, fawning, or flattering.   They are not right with God, and not to evangelize them, when you have the opportunity to do so, can only continue them down the path leading to the Lake of Fire. This is important. Israel needs Jesus. Without Him, they are like any other nation on the planet that lacks Jesus Christ. Be bold in your proclamation of Jesus Christ to all people, Jew and Gentile alike.   Lord God, help us to think rightly about our conversations with others. Help us to remember that without Jesus, they are on a one-way path to eternal condemnation. May we boldly proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to all people. Amen.

Episode overview In this candid, tender conversation, Jen Oliver and Jen Aks discuss what it means to tell the truth and end a relationship—especially when it was seemingly “really good.” There was no villain and no tidy explanation that satisfies logic. Jen Aks shares the pivotal choice to leave her 20-year marriage, the internal cost of trusting her body when her mind demanded proof, and how truth-telling reshaped her relationships, parenting, identity, and purpose. The conversation moves from truth as concept to truth as embodied practice: the difference between heart and gut, why the body “knows” first, and is a practical pathway to clarity, calm, and confident action. What you'll hear in this episode The moment Jen Aks realized her body was whispering… then screaming (03:17–08:01) Why it's hard to leave when nothing is “wrong” and everything looks “perfect” from the outside (03:47–05:50) The cost count: kids, guilt, family, finances, and society's scripts (15:28–21:04) A powerful reframe: not just what you're “taking,” but what you're giving through truth (21:10–22:26) A relief valve for guilt: “This is their story now” + “hold people able” (23:38–26:58) The difference between heart vs gut, and why words aren't always required for truth (13:39–14:59; 10:04–11:41) A practical tool: using hands/gesture to invite discomfort in, release it, and return to clarity (30:09–35:39) “Yes, and…”—how doubt can coexist with knowing (43:14–43:42) After the truth: shedding, spiritual awakening, and a deeper sense of mission (37:45–40:31; 49:54–50:43) Key takeaways Truth isn't always logical. Sometimes there's no checklist explanation—only a bodily knowing. Your body may speak before your mind can translate. Physical signals (nausea, headaches, agitation, craving solitude) can be information. Not having the words doesn't invalidate the truth. “The feeling is enough.” Truth has costs—and also gifts. Especially with kids: the reframe is “What am I modeling for them?”  You don't need to villainize someone to leave. A relationship can be loving and still complete. Staying can be true, too. No shame—if you stay, the work is reclaiming yourself inside the choice. Embodied practices create clarity. Calm isn't the goal; calm is the path to clarity and confidence. It's never too late to tell the truth about how you handled the past. Repair and honesty can happen years later. Memorable concepts & frameworks mentioned Heart vs. gut: heart can be emotionally compelling; gut is a deeper “knowing” (13:39–14:59) Power of gesture: hands + nervous system + emotion processing (27:41–35:39) “Hold people able” from Susan Scott / Fierce Conversations (26:09–26:58) (also references Fierce Leadership) Relationship truth + dignity, referencing relationship mediator Staci Bartley (09:02–10:04) Jen Aks' book and her TEDxFolsom talk (11:41–12:09) About Jen Aks: Jen Aks is a TEDx speaker, author, and leadership coach who helps people reconnect with their body's wisdom to unlock powerful, authentic leadership.

A @Christadelphians Video: This Audio Book by Harry Tennant (read by Paul Cresswell) invites us to pursue a path through the Word of God whilst examining the faith of a Christadelphian.It deals freely and in detail with the things which Christadelphians believe and do, and what their organisation and way of life are like.The community has borne the name Christadelphian since the latter half of the 19th century. The name is intended to cover three words: 'Brethren in Christ'. Christadelphians are to be found in countries all over the world. They are bound together by a common faith in the gospel preached by Jesus Christ and his apostles in the first century.It was this faith and its appeal to men and women from all walks of life which brought the community into existence.This series will clearly show how the Christadelphian faith rests squarely and solely on the Bible as the Word of God.And the true Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God - Romans 10:17.**[Revealing] Discover the foundational beliefs of the Christadelphians in this outstanding and insightful Bible talk by Harry Tennant. Based on his thought-provoking book, this expositional presentation provides a clear, Scripture-based guide to what Christadelphians believe and preach. Explore the coherent Biblical hope centered on God's purpose from creation to the coming Kingdom. A wonderful resource for sincere seekers of truth.****Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction: Contending for the Faith00:38 - The Pattern of Darkness Veiling Light01:01 - The Constancy of God's Word01:38 - The Need for a Guide to Scripture02:07 - The Book's Objective: Charting the Gospel03:56 - Forward by Michael Ashton04:04 - Invitation to Examine Christadelphian Faith04:48 - The Meaning of the Name "Christadelphian"05:20 - Foundation: The Bible Alone as God's Word06:05 - Key Historical Writings06:57 - Chapter One: The Fair Earth07:02 - Human Knowledge & The Unity of Creation08:33 - The Bible's Explanation of Origins09:37 - Consequences of a Godless Universe10:54 - Scriptural Testimony on God & Creation15:59 - The Ultimate Purpose: Earth Filled with Glory17:44 - Preview: Examining God's Purpose18:01 - Conclusion & Call to Action**Bible Verses Featured:**

Send a textYou're doing a lot of the right things. You eat clean, you take your supplements, you've done the protocols. And yet something still feels off — tighter, more reactive, narrower than it used to be. You used to be able to handle so much more.This isn't a mindset problem. It's an ecological one.In this episode I'm continuing my Terrain Map series — a Rosetta Stone style body of work designed to help you understand what's actually happening inside your body at an ecological level. I talk about ecological compression — what happens when your inner ecosystem loses the diversity, the keystone species, and the structural integrity it needs to self-regulate. Not through one dramatic event, but gradually, across years and even generations. And why so many high-functioning people are living inside a narrowed, compressed terrain while still appearing totally fine on standard labs.In this episode I cover:— What ecological compression actually is and how modern life created it — The gut ecology triangle: low microbial diversity, endotoxin load, and mucosal barrier strain — and how they reinforce each other — Why your fascia won't release no matter how much bodywork you get — What chronic survival adaptation actually looks like in a body that's still functioning — Why repair is an ecological act, not a protocol — What it actually takes to rebuild terrain that's been compressed for yearsThis is for the person who has tried everything, seen the practitioners, run the labs, and still can't figure out why they feel more fragile than they should. The answer isn't more protocols. It's understanding your terrain.Read the full blog post here. Support the show Support the podcast Mineral Foundations Course HERE Minerals & Microbes package HERE Rewilded Wellness program HERE Join my newsletter HERE If you are interested in becoming a client and have questions, reach out by emailing me: lydiajoyme@gmail.com Find me on Instagram : @ Lydiajoy.me

ASTRO JinJin Doesn't Must Join Military Duties, This Is The Agency's Explanation

What if some of history's greatest civilizations didn't fall in spectacular wars… but stopped?Tonight on Juxtaposition, we explore four ancient mysteries in which entire systems of human organization faded, fractured, or vanished — leaving behind monuments, cities, and ruins… but with almost no explanation.We begin with the urban giants of the Indus Valley Civilization, whose meticulously planned cities suddenly lost cohesion after six centuries of stability.We travel back even further to Göbekli Tepe, where hunter-gatherers built massive stone temples thousands of years before agriculture — and then deliberately buried them.From there, we examine the mysterious maritime raiders known as the Sea Peoples, recorded in Egyptian reliefs during the reign of Ramesses III, whose sudden appearance coincides with the collapse of Bronze Age powers across the Mediterranean.Finally, we confront the larger puzzle historians still struggle to explain: the Late Bronze Age collapse, when interconnected kingdoms, trade networks, and writing systems disappeared within a generation.These civilizations built cities, monuments, and international systems that lasted centuries.Then something changed.Not all collapses come with conquering armies or burning cities. Sometimes the structures remain… but the system that gave them meaning dissolves.Tonight we explore the ruins — and the silence they left behind.

I apologize for all the yelling in this episode, but I am truly baffled at why so many people in our news media and government are asking the same questions. Why Iran? Why Now? In this episode I answer those questions with clips and evidence to prove all the information necessary has been out there for all to see. Some people may agree with the war in Iran, some people may disagree with the war in Iran, but no one should pretend this was done on a whim for political purposes. I play a clip from a former Israeli prime minister to back that point up. He gives the answer I sometimes wish politicians in the United States could give. An honest one.If you find this episode interesting and informative I hope you will share, rate, and follow THE COMPARSION GUY PODCAST.Iran news, Kristi Noem, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel, oil prices

Episode #139 - this episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with Steven Kubacki, a clinical psychologist, applied philosopher, and author whose life and work explore the intersection of psychology, consciousness, and lived experience.This episode unfolds in three movements — beginning with Steven's disappearance and non-ordinary experience, expanding into consciousness and the multiverse, and returning to what it all means for authentic connection, community and being human in the world today.Steven shares reflections from his disappearance in 1978—and the decades of silence and integration that followed—offering insight into what it means to live meaningfully after one's understanding of reality has been profoundly altered. Rather than focusing on mystery or spectacle, our conversation centers on integration, responsibility, and the embodiment of insight through praxis.We explore themes of expanded consciousness, identity, and the challenge of navigating certainty in a complex world. Steven also discusses the idea of the multiverse as a lens for understanding interconnectedness, diversity of experience, and the importance of community and care for others.This episode invites listeners into a grounded conversation about spiritual awakening, psychological integration, and what it means to live with an awakened heart—staying human, connected, and compassionate while honoring mystery without losing clarity.Takeaways* Steve Kubacki emphasizes the importance of lived action over mere thought.* His disappearance was a conscious choice to protect others and explore deeper truths.* The multiverse concept suggests infinite possibilities and dimensions of existence.* Kubacki's experiences on the ice led to profound interdimensional insights.* He reflects on the challenges of individualism in a disconnected society.* Listening and caring for others are essential for personal growth and community.* The journey of understanding the multiverse is ongoing and personal.* Certainty can be a delusion that limits our understanding of reality.* Community and connection are vital for overcoming societal challenges.* Living with an awakened heart means embracing flaws and fostering acceptance.

Why do some people get goosebumps from a song while others hear the exact same notes…and feel nothing? New research reveals “musical anhedonia” — a real brain disconnect where music hits your ears but never reaches the reward center. It's not picky taste, but a fascinating finding from neurology. Let's take a closer look.

I. Welcome and Mission of Victory Church Podcast welcome and explanation: messages from pastoral staff and guest speakers from Sunday worship services. Statement of Victory's mission: reaching the lost, restoring the broken, and reviving believers. Brief personal remark from the speaker about still feeling new when coming up to preach. II. Introduction to Psalm 27 and Context Request for Psalm 27 to be put on the screen; announcement that this will be the main text. Expression of gratitude to volunteers who cleared snow in the parking lot and reminder about tight parking conditions. Mood set: “We're here to worship the Lord” despite inconveniences with snow and parking. Personal memory of an elderly woman at the former Admiral Street location who would quote Psalm 27:1 with conviction. Pivot from original planned message to God's redirection toward Psalm 27 and the theme of light. III. Theme Stated: The Light of the World Working sermon title given: “The Light of the World,” referring to Jesus. Explanation that light in the Bible symbolizes God, His holiness, and the only true light for the world. Connection of light and salvation as inseparable in Psalm 27:1. Reference to Jesus' “I Am” statements in John, especially “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12), and other Johannine references to Jesus as light. Reference to Matthew 4:16: those who sat in darkness have seen a great light. IV. Exposition of Psalm 27:1–3 – My Light and My Salvation Reading Psalm 27:1–3 and identifying it as a psalm of David. Explanation: David expresses jubilant confidence and courageous trust in the Lord despite many enemies and constant threats. Clarification that courage is not human toughness but trust in God's strength in our weakness. Application: believers also face struggles, conflicts, curveballs, and unexpected changes in life. Definitions: Light dispels darkness, brings understanding, joy, and life. Salvation moves us from a bad place to a good place, is a stronghold—a fortified place where harm cannot ultimately penetrate. Rhetorical question: If God provides light and salvation as a stronghold, whom shall we fear? Encouragement not to be moved by what we see, hear, or feel, but to rest in the Lord as our light and salvation. V. We Are Also Called Light Jesus is the light of the world, but believers are also called the light of the world. Exhortation not to hide our light “under a bushel,” alluding to the children's song “This Little Light of Mine.” Emphasis that this is not only about outward evangelism but about the inner personal light Christ places within each believer. Warning against living in a semi-dead or dim spiritual state; God wants His light to permeate and shine through our lives. VI. Example of persevering faith: The Elderly Woman Return to the story of the elderly woman who quoted Psalm 27:1 every week with conviction. She did not allow age, aches, or pains to diminish her confidence that the Lord was her light and salvation. Personal connection: the preacher knew her family's challenges, including a wayward grandson he once chased as a police officer. Point: her declaration flowed from real experience of God's faithfulness, and she repeated it to impress the same mindset on others. Application: adopt that same resolute mindset when life throws curveballs and when darkness tries to extinguish our light. VII. Light Versus Darkness in Everyday Life Illustration: physical darkness in a room and how even a small light (like an alarm clock display) helps navigate. Spiritual point: darkness cannot snuff out light; light forces darkness to flee when switched on. Observation that sinful and harmful acts often take place under cover of darkness, but God's light exposes and displaces them. Encouragement that if a believer's light feels dim, turning to Scripture (God's Word as lamp and light) brightens the path. VIII. God's Presence in Our Circumstances – He Never Leaves Us (Psalm 27:8–10) Reading Psalm 27:8–10: call to seek God's face and plea that God not hide His face or forsake His servant. Explanation: David felt circumstances getting the best of him—delays, disappointment, and possible abandonment even by parents. Emphasis that God never leaves or forsakes His people even when others do or when we are imperfect. Illustration: the “hound of heaven” image for the Holy Spirit persistently pursuing believers. Personal story: driving past the soccer coach's broken-down car and joking that he did not make the team—contrast with God never passing us by on the roadside. Teaching that God is already present in our troubles before we arrive there; He walks on the storms and invites us, like Peter, to trust Him. IX. Seeking God's Perspective and Fullness David's turning point: he inquired of the Lord and let God's presence enter his doubts and struggles. Call to put God's will first rather than our own, as Jesus prayed “not my will but yours.” Encouragement to seek God's fullness—fullness of faith, joy, and strength—rather than settling for half measures. Analogy: we often try to clean ourselves up before coming to God, but that is why we got into a mess; God wants us to come as we are. X. God's Faithfulness Across Scripture and Time Affirmation that God's promise to never leave or forsake His people runs from Deuteronomy through the New Testament. Reference to Jesus' promise in Matthew 28: He will be with His disciples to the very end. Explanation of “forever and ever”: God doubles the language to emphasize that His faithfulness truly does not end. Reminder that creation itself groans and anticipates His coming, and that we are made in God's image and likeness. XI. Do Not Lose Heart – Waiting with Faith (Psalm 27:13–14) Reading Psalm 27:13–14: “I would have lost heart unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Description of the human heart as fickle and deceitful, prone to discouragement and self-pity (“I'm the only one”). Encouragement to “let God arise” so that fears and doubts are scattered, echoing older worship songs. Clarification that God's goodness is not just future but is seen “in the land of the living,” in our present lives and situations. Exhortation to wait on the Lord—not passively, but in faith, expectation, and confidence that God will strengthen our hearts and align our desires and will with His. XII. From Psalm 27 to Psalm 28 – From Pleading to Praise Brief look ahead to Psalm 28 as a psalm of rejoicing for answered prayer. Reading Psalm 28:6–7 to show David's transition from trouble to praise: the Lord heard his supplications, became his strength and shield, and filled his heart with rejoicing and song. Application: as we trust God as light and salvation, He turns prayers into testimonies and darkness into worship. XIII. Corporate Communion and Response Instruction for the congregation to come out of their seats, fill the aisles, and gather together for communion as an act of koinonia (fellowship). Emphasis that believers are building relationships with those they will be with in eternity; encouragement to love one another now. Communion teaching: The bread represents Christ's body broken so ours need not be ultimately broken by sin's effects; He provides wholeness of mind, body, and spirit. The cup represents Christ's blood shed for forgiveness of sins so we can spend eternity with Him rather than separated. Note that no one is “worthy” in themselves; Jesus did this for us while we were ungodly. Congregational declaration: “The Lord is my light and my salvation; of whom shall I be afraid? The Lord is the strength of my life; whom shall I fear?” XIV. Final Blessing and Dismissal Pastoral prayer: asking God to bless and keep the people, cause His face to shine on them, give peace, strength, and joy of salvation. Reminder that the Lord is their light, strength, and provider today, tomorrow, and for eternity. Practical closing: caution to be careful in the parking lot and invitation to midweek service. Closing thanks to listeners of the sermon and mention of Victory's location at 321 Veazie Street.

Today on Questions with Father, we tackle a topic that may sound shocking to modern ears: the Index of Forbidden Books. Did the Catholic Church really ban books? Does the Church reject “freedom of speech”? And what does any of that mean for Catholics today living in an age of unlimited media and instant access to everything? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko walks us through the history of the Index, the natural law principles behind censorship, and why the Church once considered certain books more dangerous than many visible sins. This episode offers clarity, historical context, and practical guidance for guarding the Catholic Faith in a world saturated with false ideas.

"Dentists have made a trade-off—not because they don't care, but because the system forces us to choose between depth of conversation and moving on to the next thing. Over time, that creates a quiet fracture."  In the last episode of "The Bryan Laskin Podcast," we considered how convenience now takes priority over consent. In this episode, we'll discuss how explanation has shifted from being an integral part of care to being viewed as a point of friction. I'm Dr. Bryan Laskin. I work on the infrastructure side of healthcare, building the systems that allow care to scale with connection, clarity, and confidence. Join me next week to find out what happens when documentation replaces conversation.

Mark was dead. EMS had shocked him three times with no results. 10 Minutes had gone by. One of the men said let's try one more time. ---------- Three years ago, on a road in Billings, Montana, Mark was driving with his wife Carol when his heart suddenly stopped. For ten minutes, there was no pulse. No oxygen. Carol shut off the car, called 911, and followed the dispatcher's instructions until EMS arrived. Three shocks. No response. They were ready to stop. As we enter Lent and hear, "Remember you are dust…, and to dust you will return" why is the dust sometimes put on pause? And what does that say about God's timing--and ours? ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

Its standout feature is the ability to divide a room of 40㎡ or ~430 sq ft into multiple (up to 30) distinct zones using advanced mmWave radar technology. This allows for some really cool home automations like triggering kitchen lights when someone enters the boundary. This effectively allows one sensor to act like up to 30 allowing personalized scenes based on exact positions far beyond what standard motion sensors can do. Features:

Swami Sarvapriyananda unpacks the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta and its central claim: you are not the body, not the mind, not even your thoughts — you are pure consciousness itself. Through rigorous reasoning rather than blind belief, he guides us step by step into a direct inquiry of who we truly are.We explore the limits of faith-based religion, the pitfalls of mystical experience, the distinction between intelligence and consciousness in the age of AI, and the profound implications of non-duality. This conversation is not about adopting a belief system — it is about dismantling false identities until only the undeniable remains.FREE electrolyte sample pack with any purchase @ https://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfBON CHARGE - 15% off red light therapy products I personally usehttps://www.boncharge.com/knowthyself[Code: KNOWTHYSELF]André's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro01:18 What Is Advaita Vedanta06:44 The Promise Freedom From Suffering10:16 Liberation While Living15:09 The Three Spiritual Paths23:38 The Path of Knowledge Jnana Yoga28:42 Discovering Our Ignorance29:49 Descartes and the Indubitable Self32:36 Ad: LMNT34:50 Deconstructing the Self37:18 Are You the Body42:09 From Body to Breath to Mind47:30 AI and the Difference Between Intelligence and Consciousness49:12 Consciousness in Deep Sleep52:23 If Not Body or Mind What Are You53:23 Pure Consciousness Explained55:04 Dualism vs Non Dualism57:42 The Dream Analogy59:17 Maya and the Appearance of the Universe01:00:28 Ocean and Wave Analogy01:01:13 Ad: BON CHARGE01:03:35 The Shift From Person to Awareness01:10:00 Awareness as the Ground of Reality01:18:00 The Root of Suffering01:26:00 Ego Attachment and Fear01:34:00 Living as Pure Awareness01:42:00 Practical Self Inquiry01:50:00 Free Will Karma and Responsibility02:02:00 The Illusion of Individuality02:14:00 Consciousness and Modern Science02:26:00 Death Rebirth and Liberation02:38:00 What Enlightenment Really Means02:50:00 Final Clarifications on Non Duality02:55:00 Closing Reflections___________https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

In today's late winter episode, I describe exactly what the plans are for the YouTube channel.  It should be open for viewing in the very near future.  It is the story of Faith, from birth to her life of competition and hunting.  How does the early neural stimulation work on performance pups work, what is it and why do it?  It will continue to all the critical early training steps; the walk, early retrieving, early relationship building, bird introduction and its continued development.  I have literally spent my life trying to learn this aspect of the dog world, and Faith, her owner and I will take you on the journey with her, seeing and experiencing it all yourself.   This audio podcast will remain, so for my noncomputer folks, you will be included, you just won't be on the walk or in the upland field with us.  This is going to be the most fun project I have ever undertaken.  Hope you join us!

"Couples often ignore each other's emotional needs out of mindlessness, not malice." - Dr. John Gottman   Summary Let's take an honest look at how communication breaks down in busy marriages and what you can do to stop it. Most couples don't ignore each other out of malice, but out of exhaustion, distraction, and rushed daily life. In this episode, we unpack why communication is essential for growth and connection, and how unspoken assumptions quickly lead to misunderstandings. Drawing on Dr. John Gottman's research, we break down the Four Horsemen of Communication -  criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling, and explain how they quietly damage relationships. More importantly, we share practical antidotes to each one, along with simple habits and conversations you can start using right away to communicate more clearly, stay emotionally connected, and protect your marriage from drifting apart.   Key Takeaways Communication shapes your marriage every day. It's not the big conversations alone that matter, but the daily responses, tone, and small interactions. You cannot grow closer without communicating, and mind-reading is not a real skill, no matter how much we wish it were. Unspoken assumptions damage connection.  When couples don't communicate, they fill in the gaps with guesses, and those guesses are often wrong. What feels obvious to you may not be obvious to your spouse. If left unchecked, the Four Horsemen quietly erode relationships.  Criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling are strong predictors of marital breakdown, but couples can recognize them early and recover when they're willing to change patterns. Most conflict starts inside us, not with our spouse.  Many reactions come from fear, stress, or unresolved issues rather than our spouse's actions. Growth begins when we take ownership and speak from vulnerability instead of blame. Engaging imperfectly is better than withdrawing.  Respect, appreciation, and choosing to stay engaged, even awkwardly, protect connection. Healthy communication requires effort, humility, and the daily choice to turn toward each other.   Couple Discussion Questions Which of the Four Horsemen are threatening our relationship right now?  How would you rate our communication on a scale of 1-10?  What can we do to improve this?
