Jesus made fantastic claims while He was on Earth. Backing His claims, He performed extraordinary miracles.

We're back! It's been a couple of months since I put out an episode, and I wanted to come back with a conversation that actually earned the wait.What does a woman who charges $250,000 to work with her actually know about receiving an extraordinary life?Turns out it's not about having the answers. It's about how much life you can actually let yourself hold.Marla is my friend, and an ultra-high-end life and business coach. But this isn't a conversation about pricing. It's about what it actually takes, internally and energetically, to receive more. More money. More visibility. More truth. More love.Wanting more and being able to receive more are not the same thing. You can ask for wealth and find out what receiving it brings up in you. Ask for love and find the exact place intimacy threatens your defenses. Ask for impact and find out what happens when you're misunderstood.What Marla shares isn't what you'd expect. Yes, there's real beauty in it, real abundance. There's also a woman telling you about a time she collapsed into a fetal position. Crying. Going into a freeze so complete she lost her words. She asked her most successful former clients, point blank, what hadn't worked between them. One told her she'd felt transactional instead of human. It hit her hard. She had to sit with that recording more than once before she could really take it in.This is leadership without the performance of certainty. The willingness to see your own distortion, stay with what it reveals, and let it change you.An extraordinary life doesn't mean you stop contracting. It means you stop staying gone so long.Here's what we get into:Her foundation: years of Vipassana, a mentor relationship that broke open her financial set points, and study with Paul Selig and the Melchizedek Guides"What's your warp?" — the distortion each of us looks through, and why the goal is recognizing it, not eliminating itWhat you damn, damns you back. What you bless, blesses you backAll feedback is love, and the practice she built to actually receive itWhy she and her partner Julian live by a "no blades" ruleBeing unreasonable on purpose: how Marla thinks about pricing, worth, and the upper limits most of us don't even know we're bumping againstWhat gets more valuable, not less, as AI reshapes business: intuition, discernment, staying in relationship with yourself when it's uncomfortableHer closing words to you, whoever you are, wherever you're listening: you're doing it perfectly.If this leaves you wondering where unconscious patterns are getting in your way, Marla built a free 8-question quiz to name your biggest block in money, love, or time, and what to do about it. Start at BeaconsGlobal.com. You'll get first access to her masterclass this September.Connect with Michelle Website: michelle-sorro.comInstagram: @michellesorroLinkedIn: Michelle Sorro Connect with MarlaWebsite + free Money, Love or Time quiz: BeaconsGlobal.comInstagram: @marlamattensonLinkedIn: Marla MattensonBefore you go: what's your warp?

Not all miracles are of God. Yet the works of Jesus bore an authority no force of darkness could counterfeit. In this message from Matthew 12, Pastor Lutzer explains why Jesus was accused of working through the power of Satan. Discover how Jesus' miraculous signs reveal His true identity—and why His critics were so desperate to discredit Him. This month's special offer is available for a donation of any amount.

As she prepares to send her youngest daughter off to college while experiencing major changes in her own life and business, Joanna shares why our automatic mind often mistakes the unfamiliar for the unsafe.

Tune in to discover why you don't need certainty to trust yourself and how learning to hold the unknown can expand your capacity for courage, growth, and possibility. Your weekly reflection questions: Where in your life are you currently mistaking something unfamiliar for something unsafe? What is your Default Operating System predicting will happen if you move forward without certainty?

In this episode of Beyond Limits, Liv dives into one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck: settling for a life that no longer reflects what they truly want.Settling rarely happens all at once. It happens through the small compromises, lowered standards, and quiet moments where you convince yourself that "this is just how it is."But what if the life you're craving is waiting on the other side of the standards you're afraid to raise?Inside this episode:✨ What settling actually looks like (and why most people don't recognize they're doing it)

Robert White: Three Ingredients That Turn Dreams Into an Extraordinary Life About Robert White: Author, serial entrepreneur, and team trainer His companies have graduated 1.4 million participants in high impact experiential leadership training Author of the bestselling book Thank You Very Much, a guide to living an extraordinary life, now a bestseller in three languages The Three Ingredients for an Extraordinary Life: Awareness: the practice of noticing physical sensations, emotional reactions, thought patterns, and the people and environment around you, then telling the truth about what is working and what is not, without blame, shame, or guilt Responsibility: releasing a victim mindset and owning every outcome, both success and failure, rather than blaming others or oneself Communication: pausing before reacting, asking questions instead of making statements, and learning to paraphrase what others have said The Log Jam Analogy: Robert compares forced conflict resolution to using dynamite to clear a log jam It works, but it leaves people feeling wounded A more skilled leader looks for the key log, the underlying issue driving a person's behavior, and addresses it directly Key Insights: Conflict and creativity are connected, and personal triggers, from public speaking to travel to hard conversations, can pull leaders away from their best selves Research suggests small and medium sized business leaders spend around seventy percent of their time on people problems Self-leadership and growth work are essential for building healthy teams Curiosity is often the fastest path through conflict, allowing leaders to ask better questions, listen more deeply, and find creative solutions that honor everyone involved Connect with Robert White: Website: extraordinarypeople.com Newsletter: An Extraordinary Minute, a free weekly read available at his website Book: Thank You Very Much, available on Amazon and Kindle Connect with Julie Riga: Website: Your website Social Media: Your social media handles Coaching: Learn more about leadership coaching and transformation Stacklist: https://stacklist.app/julieriga Subscribe to Stay On Course wherever you listen to podcasts. #stayoncourse #leadership #selfleadership #personalgrowth #authenticleadership Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Extraordinary Life and Tragic Death of Margaret Fuller. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Bruce Nichols chronicles the life of Margaret Fuller, a pioneering feminist and journalist who served as the first female war correspondent. Fuller's intellectual prowess "wowed" Emerson, though her life ended tragically in a shipwreck off Fire Island. Some scholars believe Hawthorne modeled his character Hester Prynne after her. 12

We are now in the liturgical season of Trinitytide, also known as Ordinary Time. But this Ordinary Time is far from mundane or common as our culture understands ordinary. It speaks to the "ordinary" life of those living in the realized and manifest Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven. It is in Trinitytide that our Lord disciples us as to how we should live in His Kingdom for our salvation and the salvation of the world. On this first week of Trinitytide, we are taught that we are to become love by our encounters with Christ our God and become the expression of that same love to one another and to the world.

Dr. John Lennox has lived one of the most remarkable lives in modern Christian thought. From sitting in on CS Lewis's final lectures at Cambridge in 1962, earning his PhD and teaching at Oxford as Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, debating Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, and authoring best-selling books on faith, science, suffering, AI, and Revelation. In this conversation, Dr. Lennox joins me to discuss his new autobiography, My Story. We talk about his encounter with CS Lewis, what he considers the hardest objection to Christianity (suffering and evil), and how his mind is increasingly filled with the hope of heaven.

When I first heard about Rebbetzin Libbi Kakon, I thought the story would be about a remarkable couple who, despite both being deaf, built a yeshiva for deaf and hearing-impaired students. Then I heard the rest of the story. What I discovered was a woman who refused to let life's challenges define her. Together with her husband, Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Kakon, she helped build a unique yeshiva serving deaf students, raised a family, navigated extraordinary challenges, and continued finding ways to help others.To learn more about Yeshivat Nefesh Dovid or support their work:→ https://www.nefeshdovid.com/✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► Colel Chabad: Help Israel's NeediestFor over 200 years, Colel Chabad has helped people through some of life's hardest moments.

Tuppence Middleton is one of the most talented actors of her generation. Her work spans the intimate and the epic, from the haunting dystopias of Sense8 to the elegance of Downton Abbey. She brings a rare depth to every role she inhabits and her recent memoir Scorpions reveals a courageous and deeply personal side of her story. This podcast is a celebration of an impressive career to date, a tutorial in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and also serves as a reminder that we can look at someone, judge, think they have it all, perhaps allow a modicum of envy to creep in and yet we have absolutely no clue what challenges they are facing. I had such a wonderful time talking to Tuppence and you will love this podcast.

The conclusion of the Viking Age is often associated with the pivotal year 1066, marked by the death of Harald Hardrada at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Hardrada was a legendary King of Norway who had lived an extraordinary life, serving as an imperial bodyguard in the Byzantine capital of Constantinople where he was rewarded with gold or "embers of the hands." He sought to reclaim the English throne, which had previously been held by King Canute during the era of the North Sea Empire that united England, Denmark, and parts of Norway. While 1066 is a convenient historical bookmark, Barraclough argues it is an Anglo-centric view that ignores the persistence of Norse culture in other regions like Greenland or Russia. The era also featured figures like Harald Bluetooth, who famously claimed to have converted the Danes to Christianity and whose runic initials now serve as the symbol for modern Bluetooth technology. Another symbolic ending occurred much later in 1263 at the Battle of Largs, where King Haakonof Norway faced off against King Alexander III of Scotland. Although the battle was inconclusive, Haakon'ssubsequent death in Orkney led to the Western Isles being ceded to Scotland, marking the end of significant Norwegian political control in the region. 7/81630

What do you do when your accountant brain knows the numbers, your life blows up anyway, and the answer turns out to be halfway around the world in a weird little movement called FIRE? We head to New Zealand to talk with Bronwyn Candish, a chartered accountant, community builder, and one of the clearest Kiwi voices in financial independence movement. She talks to us about starting over after divorce, rebuilding from the middle, and discovering that "doing money right" has a lot less to do with credentials than with courage, alignment, and actually taking action. This episode covers: Growing up with scarcity in New Zealand and how that shaped Bronwyn's money mindset Why being an accountant did not automatically make her good with money Lifestyle creep, overbuying on housing, and drifting into paycheck-to-paycheck living Divorce as a financial wake-up call in her late 30s How Bronwyn found FIRE through a random article and went deep down the rabbit hole The role of KiwiSaver, housing, and DIY culture in the New Zealand version of FI  Why community and accountability matter so much on the journey How Bronwyn turned her accounting practice into a FIRE-adjacent coaching space The creation of Black Friday and the growth of the Kiwi FIRE community  What it looks like to be "mid-journey" and still deeply love the path . === SUPPORT  THE  SHOW ===

What if the story you're stuck in isn't who you are… it's just who you've been? In this conversation, I sit down with Jordan Belfort "The Real Wolf of Wall St", and I'll tell you right now, this is not the interview you're expecting. Most people know Jordan for one chapter of his life, but today we go way deeper. We talk about identity, values, and what it really takes to rewrite your story when the world keeps trying to define you by your past. And what hit me the most is this. He didn't have to become someone new. He had to rediscover who he was before everything went off track. That is a powerful lesson for every single one of us. We also get into the truth about money, success, and the tradeoffs nobody talks about. There is a point in your life where chasing the next level has a cost, and you better start asking yourself if it is worth it. Jordan opens up about choosing ethics over easy money, even when it cost him millions. That kind of discipline and clarity is rare. We talk about building a life that is not just successful on paper, but one that actually feels right when you wake up every day. Then we shift into something every entrepreneur and salesperson needs to hear. This is a masterclass in communication and persuasion. Jordan breaks down what really makes someone influential. It is not manipulation. It is understanding people, asking better questions, mastering tonality, and building real trust. If you have ever wondered why some people instantly connect and others don't, this part of the conversation alone is worth listening to twice. And we go into the future. AI, business, and what is coming next. Jordan is deep in the AI world right now, and what he shares about where things are headed will open your eyes. Some jobs will disappear. New ones will be created. But the people who win are the ones who adapt, who learn, and who stay ahead of the curve. The lesson is simple. If you do not disrupt yourself, someone else will. This episode is about ownership. Ownership of your story, your skills, your future, and your standards. If you are ready to stop living in your past and start building what is next, this one is for you. Key Takeaways: Why your past does not define you and how to rewrite your identity The difference between chasing money and building a meaningful life The real truth about ethical selling and influencing people the right way How tonality, presence, and communication determine your success Why becoming an expert is a decision, not a timeline The future of AI and what it means for sales, business, and entrepreneurship Why you must disrupt yourself before the world does it for you

This event will offer students unique insights into the realities of operational tradecraft, specifically the discipline required to maintain work-life balance as a wife and mother while navigating often risky high-stakes overseas field assignments as a 24/7 undercover CIA spy. About the Author: Ann Elizabeth Butler was born in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and grew up in Endicott, New York with her parents and three brothers. At Union-Endicott High School, Ann was editor of the yearbook, played clarinet in the marching and concert bands, often went to Greek Peak with the ski club, and was active in the French and Key Clubs. She majored in Economics at the University of Notre Dame, spending her sophomore year abroad in Angers, France at the Université Catholique de l'Ouest. After graduation, Ann received a Rotary Scholarship to study in Belgium and obtained a Master's in International Trade from the Université de l'Etat à Mons. In 1986, Ann began a 27-year-long career as an undercover officer in the Directorate of Operations at the Central Intelligence Agency. Early on, while working full time, Ann attended evening classes at George Washington University and earned an MBA with a concentration in International Business. Before moving to Washington, DC to start her new career, Ann met Joseph Potak, to whom she has now been married for 37 years. They have five children together: Claire, Kyle, Eric, Alexis, and Katrina. Ann's work with the CIA required her family to move every few years to a different city, country, or continent. Her mission was simple - recruit spies and collect intelligence, to help protect the United States. Ann Butler has spent her life striving to find the balance between being a wife, a mother, and a spy. Her story is full of both very challenging as well as very rewarding moments. Now, she has written them all down. With her memoir, Wife, Mother, Spy, she wants others to read her story and know that although it's not easy - they too can have it all." **Learn more about IWP graduate programs: https://www.iwp.edu/academics/graduate-degree-programs/ ***Make a gift to IWP: https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E231090&id=3

Huang Chin-tao (黃金島) was never a household name, but his life story is the story of modern Taiwan. In this concluding episode, we follow Huang from the 2.28 uprising in 1947 as he joins a resistance group led by a rare combination: a Taiwanese woman communist guerrilla commander, Xie Xuehong, whom we've dubbed Agent "Red Snow." After fighting bravely but losing the Battle of Wuniulan Bridge in Nantou, Huang becomes a fugitive and then spends more than two decades in Taiwan's prisons. There is, however, finally some happiness: a few years after being released, he found love and became a political activist in what would become Taiwan's first real opposition party. For this tale of resistance, survival, and a regular man's refusal to be broken by history, we drew on Anna Beth Keim's excellent biography Heaven Does Not Block All Roads.

From radio days as an Actress, to the political halls of California State and County governments, Sheila Kuehl has always excelled. In her youth and young adulthood she was in key roles on very popular T. V. programs for years. At Harvard Law School she was a leader in various campus organizations, and once a Lawyer, began to use her power and influence to make a difference for good. Los Angeles became the center of her activism and the issue that propelled her into public life was the way battered women had no protection, no laws that supported their needs. Listen to Sheila Kuehl and hear why she is a celebrity - from her acting days and in the world of public service. She has made a path in her long life on the forefront of creating pioneering legislation when at the California Assembly and the Senate. At the time she was the first openly Lesbian to be elected to both politics institutions and served their for 14 years. Her stand out legislative accomplishments to name a few were in family law for parental leave, establishing training for Judges to understand their personal bias, and water use in the State essential for its huge population and agricultural needs, and for gender and LGQBT in the work place. We are fortunate to have Sheila Kuehl among us who is a leader who leads with character and values and has always made peoples' lives better in her distinguished and inspiring career as a public servant.
