Lee and Tara tackle today's biggest stories!

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about one of the most quietly damaging patterns in first responder relationships — the inability to let the guard down at home even when home is supposed to be the safest place in the world. The armor that the job built was never supposed to be permanent. But for many first responders it has become so familiar, so automatic, and so deeply woven into how they move through the world that taking it off — even with the people who love them most — feels less like relief and more like exposure. This episode explores why safety and vulnerability feel mutually exclusive for so many first responders and what that tension is costing the relationships that need them most.

In Day 197, the final lesson of Orchot Tzaddikim, The Ways of the Righteous, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe brings the entire journey to its culmination. The author returns to the idea that the human being is an Olam Katan—a miniature world. The wonders of creation, both physical and spiritual, are reflected within the human being, and the soul itself reflects, in an infinitely limited way, attributes that point us toward the Creator. Just as the soul fills the body, sustains it, outlives it, sees without being seen, remains pure, and does not sleep, so Hashem fills, sustains, transcends, sees, and governs His universe.This realization should lead not to pride, but to humility, awe, gratitude, and responsibility. Rabbi Wolbe urges us to contemplate the extraordinary design of the human body—from our eyes and ears to our breath, bones, skin, and countless systems—and ask: Who gave me all of this? The more deeply we appreciate how much Hashem has invested in us, the more we understand that our lives carry purpose and obligation. Yirat Shamayim is not despair or fearfulness; it is the awareness that we have been entrusted with something extraordinarily precious.The entire book ultimately comes down to the words of Kohelet: “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man.” After studying humility, arrogance, love, hatred, mercy, cruelty, happiness, jealousy, worry, repentance, Torah, and countless other middot, the final challenge is internal. It is no longer simply about how we appear to others, but about the private relationship between the individual and Hashem: Do I truly fear God? Is my relationship with Hashem where it should be? Inspiration must become action. Torah must change us.The conclusion takes on additional meaning as Rabbi Wolbe notes that the class coincides with his Hebrew birthday. He offers a heartfelt blessing to the TORCH community for health, happiness, gratitude, spiritual growth, and a genuine relationship with Hashem. He encourages each listener to view every new year of life as another opportunity to recommit to service, growth, and appreciation for the gift of another day.And, fittingly, the journey does not truly end. Rabbi Wolbe immediately opens Shaar HaBitachon, the Gate of Trust in God, from Chovot HaLevavot. The message is clear: when Torah learning concludes, we begin again. Bitachon means learning to release our illusion of control and place our reliance entirely in Hashem—like a child resting securely in the arms of a loving parent. The completion of Orchot Tzaddikim therefore becomes the beginning of the next spiritual journey._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on October 2, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

What if fear isn't something you're meant to avoid, but something that's pointing you toward the life you're meant to live?In this episode, I sit down with Lynda Sunshine West for a heartfelt conversation about fear, healing, and the incredible power of sharing our stories.Lynda opens up about growing up in an abusive home, how those early experiences shaped decades of people pleasing and self-doubt, and the life-changing decision she made at 51 to face one fear every single day for an entire year. That journey didn't just transform her relationship with fear. It ultimately led her to help hundreds of others bring their own stories into the world through publishing.We also explore what happens after you write the book. The vulnerability of letting people read your story, why so many of us seek validation from others before trusting ourselves, and how sharing our experiences can become part of our own healing while helping someone else feel less alone.Whether you've been dreaming about writing a book, struggling with self-doubt, or simply looking for the courage to take the next step in your own life, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that your story has value, and someone out there may need to hear it.In this episode, we discuss:How childhood experiences can shape our fears and beliefs for yearsWhy people pleasing is often rooted in fear rather than kindnessLynda's challenge to face one fear every day for 365 daysThe surprising connection between fear, judgment, and self-worthHow writing your story can become part of your healing journeyWhy your voice matters, even if others have written about similar topicsThe difference between seeking validation from others and trusting yourselfWhat it really takes to bring a book from idea to publicationConnect with Lynda:Website: https://actiontakerspublishing.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/lyndasunshinewestGrab a copy: Let Me Tell My StoryComing Soon: Let Me Tell My Story PodcastFear may be part of the adventure, but it doesn't have to write the ending. Adventure on!Send us Fan Mail Support the show✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Al Smith. Interview Purpose The purpose of this interview is to explore life transitions, resilience, and financial discipline through the lens of elite performance, using Al Smith’s journey from NFL All‑Pro to executive, entrepreneur, and community leader as a blueprint. The conversation highlights how preparation, education, mindset, and adaptability are essential when dreams evolve or abruptly change. This interview also serves to connect the experiences of professional athletes with those of small business owners and entrepreneurs, emphasizing that success in both arenas requires discipline, accountability, and long‑term thinking. Major Themes & Key Takeaways 1. Education as a Safety Net and Strategy Al Smith made the deliberate decision to finish his college degree before fully committing to the NFL, recognizing that professional sports offered no guarantees. This choice gave him leverage, confidence, and security—both mentally and financially—throughout his career. Key takeaway: Always secure something tangible before going “all in” on an uncertain opportunity. 2. Turning Fear into Fuel Smith openly discusses fear—fear of being cut, fear of competition, fear of uncertainty—and how he learned to convert fear into motivation rather than paralysis. He treated each season as if it were his last, approaching preparation with urgency and focus. Key takeaway: Fear is inevitable; how you respond to it determines longevity and success. 3. Competition Is Not the Enemy Competition played a central role in Smith’s development. Rather than avoiding it, he embraced it, understanding that growth requires discomfort. He credits adversity, pressure, and coaching challenges with sharpening his performance and character. Key takeaway: Competition strengthens discipline and reveals accountability. 4. Financial Literacy and Lifestyle Discipline Smith addresses the common financial pitfalls faced by professional athletes, many of which also apply to entrepreneurs: Lifestyle inflation Supporting others without boundaries Delegating financial decisions without understanding them Trying to maintain an image instead of sustainability Smith’s financial stability was aided by mentors, personal involvement in decisions, and a mindset focused on not owing—not just earning. Key takeaway: Financial success is not about income—it’s about control, habits, and awareness. 5. Mentorship and Environment Matter Smith emphasizes the value of surrounding himself with successful, disciplined people both on and off the field. Mentorship influenced how he thought about money, effort, competition, and leadership. Key takeaway: Proximity shapes thinking; environment influences outcomes. 6. Preparing for Life After the Dream Even while succeeding in the NFL, Smith planned for the transition ahead. This forward thinking led to opportunities in the front office, business, and leadership. He viewed this transition as a chance to open doors for others and to understand the business side of sports. Key takeaway: The end of one dream can be the beginning of a larger purpose. 7. Athletes and Entrepreneurs Face the Same Reality Smith draws a direct parallel between: Athletes competing yearly with no guarantees Entrepreneurs running businesses without security or routine Both require maximum effort, preparation beyond the clock, and resilience. Key takeaway: There is no 40‑hour workweek when you are building something of your own. Notable Quotes “I turned my fear into fire.” “There are no guarantees—every year is a one‑year deal.” “I treated every season like it was my last.” “You don’t want to owe. You want to own.” “Don’t be scared of competition.” “The gain outweighs the strain.” “Prepare so that if it ends tomorrow, you’re still standing.” Overall Message Al Smith’s interview is a powerful lesson in discipline, foresight, and adaptability. It reframes success as something built through preparation before opportunity arrives and sustained by humility, mentorship, and intentional decision‑making. His story reinforces that dreams evolve—but character, work ethic, and financial awareness determine whether those transitions become setbacks or stepping stones. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They represent intuitions that are central in determining whether America remains a free, functioning democracy or not. And they absolutely know better. History starts now. In Profiles in Cowardice, Jacob Weisberg has written one of the first defining books of the Trump Era--how this pitch-black political moment happened, why so few resisted, and what it reveals about the character of American leadership. Jeff Bezos, Amazon, and Big Tech. Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone, and Wall Street. Brad Karp, Paul, Weiss, and Big Law. Mitch McConnell and the United States Senate. Eight individuals in all, together forming an entwined network of power in America, and a new way to understand how authoritarianism can take root in an open society--not by overthrowing institutions, but by bending and bullying them into submission. The book is a masterful study of the ways people create rationalizations to justify basic human instincts such as greed, vanity and fear--above all fear. Fear is the great enemy of democracy, and the book illuminates how it operates, how it disguises itself, and how it spreads. The book is timeless: its profiles are case studies, but they are also mirrors. They ask readers to examine their own instincts, their own silences, their own thresholds for action. This is not a morality tale with easy villains. It is an attempt to describe the moral mechanics of democratic failure. By studying that failure up close, we may better understand what courage truly requires--and why it is so rarely summoned when it matters most.

Lady! We know that not only are we living in interesting, unprecedented times but we’re also just living our regular lives and sometimes life be lifin’. Life is beautiful, abundant, and generous but it can also be raggedy, harsh, and tough. As much as we love being a part of the toolkit that helps keep you uplifted, you know that we always keep it real. That’s why in this week's throwback, Dr. Dom and Terri offer their grounded perspective about how to handle life when life is being a hot, ghetto mess.Adulting is often fun and wonderful. There are days as an adult when ice cream for breakfast is a thing because you’re grown. But, for the days when the laundry is piling up, the bills are due, the internal monologue is putting you through the ringer, the deep pain within is spilling out, you’re sick, or you’re just tired it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and like you’re getting it all wrong. Fear not, Terri and Dr. Dom offer ten truth bombs to help you keep everything in perspective as you get up and figure it out – like you always do! Adulting is often described as a series of responsibilities and actions that one takes to be a functioning member of society. But, this week Dr. Dom and Terri remind you that often adulting is finding the tools to complete those mundane tasks to satisfaction when life doesn’t feel good. So, grab your Cultivating H.E.R.

Today, we'll be talking about our hopes (and fears) for The Legend of Zelda movie. We think we're getting very close to getting an actual look at this movie so it's sort of our last chance to talk about this before we finally see this thing. The stakes are really high and we definitely have gone through some highs and lows with this movie already so let's talk about it. Also in this episode, we're deep into Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and we'll talk about it a bit in a non-spoiler way. We also answer some interesting questions from our Patreon community about Nintendo's recent social media marketing on Fire Emblem and how odd it is. All this and much more is coming right up. 0:00 - Todayyy!13:38 - Our hopes and fears for the Legend of Zelda movie1:12:21 - News news news1:30:28 - Games we are playing (Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Meccha Chameleon, Dynasty Warriors 3: Remastered, The Witcher 3: Remastered)Patreon shout-outs!- All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash - Thank you Super Stars: Eigenverse, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft, Thomas O'Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Andrew Youhas, krashuri, Master Discord, Travis Torline, MSMPokeGamer, RBurns, KITT 10K, Nafon Clover, TheSharkAmongMen, RainTech, KissMyFlapjack, Paul Gale Network, Cameron, Catsually Nerdy, Xudeverf, David Williams - Konke Gamers, David, Khalifa al Suwaidi, Fen O'Connor, Funkalifragilistic (Funky Fresh)Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrystahttps://twitter.com/kitandkrystahttps://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrystahttps://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/https://bsky.app/profile/kitandkrysta.bsky.social-Kit & Krysta

What would you do today if you weren't afraid to fail? Fear of failure can keep us from applying for the opportunity, speaking up, starting something new, or having the difficult conversation. But failure doesn't define who you are. It's an event that can give you feedback, information, and a chance to grow. In this episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff explains why confident people still experience fear and how to keep that fear from making your decisions. She shares how redefining success around what you can control can take power away from failure and help you move forward with more courage. You'll also learn Cindra's Learn, Burn, Return strategy for responding when things don't go your way: learn from the experience, let go of what isn't serving you, and return to your previous level of confidence. This week, ask yourself: How am I defining failure? What does success look like if I define it by what I can control? What would I do today if I wasn't afraid to fail? Then take one action. Confidence doesn't come from knowing you'll succeed. It comes from knowing you can handle whatever happens.

Fear of AI is not the problem. Refusing to test it is. Eric Jennings, a board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologist and the senior medical director of ophthalmology at ModMed, argues that hesitancy about AI is a protective clinical instinct, and that the right response is the one physicians are already trained to use: appraise it the way you would appraise a new drug or a new procedure. You will hear the line he draws between cautious skepticism, which asks to see the validation data, and paralysis, which demands a guarantee no technology can give. Eric explains how to read a vendor's training set the way you would read the N on a clinical trial, using the pneumonia algorithm that scored about 93 percent in the lab and then failed in clinic because it had learned to recognize portable X-ray machines rather than pneumonia. He lays out the guardrails to put in place on week one of a pilot, the human and technical signs that a practice moved too fast, and why the administrative side of the office, not the chart, is the safest place to start. This episode is brought to you by ModMed. Find out more at modmed.com. Press play to hear why he believes AI will arrive as an integrated ecosystem rather than one more bolted-on tool, and why the doctors who use it will replace the doctors who refuse it.

Over the course of just a few months, artificial intelligence has become one of the most central issues, and one of the most fraught issues, in the relationship between the United States and China. Policymakers in Washington and in Beijing simultaneously worry about which country's tech sector has the advantage and wonder whether the search for advantage will itself lead to catastrophe for both countries and everyone else. Recent bilateral meetings, including the one last week between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, have yielded only minimal progress toward cooperation—agreement to start talking about talking about AI. Kyle Chan is a fellow at the Brookings Institution. Helen Toner is executive director of Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology. Both fairly uniquely combine deep knowledge of AI and deep knowledge of China, which they bring to their work in Foreign Affairs and beyond. Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke with Chan and Toner about how the two countries think and approach AI, with real differences as well as some new convergences; what it means to compete; and what it will take for the United States and China to find some way to reduce the biggest risks.

Fear can make difficult circumstances feel overwhelming, especially when the future is uncertain or we cannot see what lies ahead. But Isaiah 41:10 offers a powerful reminder that God does not ask us to face fear and hardship alone. He promises to be with us, strengthen us, help us, and uphold us with His righteous hand. When fear tells us we are alone or too weak to keep going, God’s presence gives us a reason to trust Him. God’s presence changes the way we face frightening circumstances. He sees the path ahead even when we cannot, knows what we will encounter, and is never surprised by the challenges we face. His strength is greater than our weakness, His help is available in every season, and His faithful hand can hold us steady when life feels uncertain. Rather than allowing fear to control our thoughts and decisions, we can focus on God’s promises and bring our worries to Him in prayer. As our confidence in God grows, we can learn to choose faith over fear and move forward knowing that He is with us every step of the way. Highlights How Isaiah 41:10 reminds us that God is present when we face frightening circumstances Why we can trust God even when we cannot see what lies ahead How God provides strength when we feel too weak to handle our circumstances Why we never have to face our struggles without God’s help What it means for God to uphold us with His righteous right hand How focusing on God’s promises can replace fear with greater confidence and peace Practical encouragement for choosing faith over fear in everyday challenges Want more encouragement throughout your week?

I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10, NIV I once went to a party store in October with my son and daughter to buy my daughter’s Halloween costume. My son was in preschool at the time, and the moment we walked inside, he saw scary Halloween decorations everywhere. There was a robotic talking skeleton with glowing red eyes, a cackling inflatable witch, and other scary displays. He was so afraid that he closed his eyes and refused to open them. My daughter and I gently held his hands and guided him through the store like a blind person because he simply could not bear to look. We hurried to find the costume, paid for it, and got out of there as quickly as we could. My son felt safe because he knew we were with him, even though he couldn’t see where he was going. You’ll encounter many scary situations in this fallen world. But God encourages you in Isaiah 41:10 not to be afraid, because he is with you and will help you. You don’t have to fear, because God is with you. God’s presence changes everything. Just as my son found comfort because he knew his family was beside him, you can find peace because your loving Heavenly Father never leaves your side. Even when you can’t see what lies ahead, God sees the whole path before you. God knows every challenge you’ll encounter and every need you’ll have along the way. Nothing surprises God, and no scary situation is too hard for God to handle. God also promises to strengthen you. There may be days when you feel too weak to manage the challenges you’re facing. But God doesn’t expect you to find strength on your own. He promises to give you the strength you need for each step. God’s power is greater than your weakness. As you rely on God’s strength, you’ll discover that God will empower you to deal with situations that once seemed impossible to manage. God also promises to help you. You never have to face your struggles by yourself. God sees every problem you’re facing and hears every prayer you pray for help. God will walk closely with you as your personal guide, ready to help at just the right time. Sometimes God will help you by changing your circumstances. At other times, God will give you the grace and endurance to keep trusting him as you go through challenging circumstances. Either way, God will faithfully work for your good. Finally, God says he will uphold you with his righteous right hand. That means God will hold you securely, so you can be secure even when your life feels unsteady. Even when you feel like you might fall, God is able to keep you standing. God’s loving hand on you is stronger than anything that tries to pull you down. So, instead of focusing on the fear you feel, focus on God’s promises to you. When fear leads you to think you’re alone, remember that God says, “I am with you.” When fear tells you that you’re too weak, remember that God says, “I will strengthen you.” When fear says no one can help you, remember that God says, “I will help you.” When fear tells you that you’ll fall, remember that God says, “I will uphold you.” Don’t let fear take control of your life. Each day is another opportunity to trust God’s promises instead of your feelings. As you spend time reading the Bible and bringing your worries to God in prayer, your confidence in God will grow. Little by little, you’ll learn that God’s peace is stronger than your fear because God’s presence is always with you. Choose to trust God – instead of fear – to lead you forward. You don’t have to walk through life with your eyes closed, wondering what will happen next. God is walking beside you every step of the way. God’s love is constant, God’s strength never fails, and God’s faithful hand is holding you securely. Because God is with you, you don’t have to fear. Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how God will help you overcome fear, reflect on these questions: What fear are you carrying today that you need to give to God? How have you experienced God’s help during a difficult season in your life? Which promise in Isaiah 41:10 speaks the most to you today? What’s one way you can choose faith instead of fear this week? How can remembering that God is always with you change the way you face today’s challenges?

Receiving spiritual guidance and actually translating it into physical action can often feel harder than hearing the guidance itself. Join Robyn Benelli as she explores how to break down overwhelming goals into manageable steps, overcome fear, and bring your intuitive insights into reality using Reiki. Key Insights: The Gap Between Knowing and Doing: Hearing or receiving spiritual guidance is only one part; a true challenge lies in bridging the gap between receiving guidance and taking physical action. Micro-Actions Overwhelm Antidote: Looking at a massive end goal can paralyze progress. Breaking down your next step into one small, manageable action for the week relieves pressure and builds sustainable momentum. Releasing the Fear of Imperfection: Taking an initial step does not lock you into an indefinite path. You are always allowed to revise your understanding, learn from outcomes, and navigate the winding staircase of growth without striving for absolute perfection. The Danger of Comparison: Comparing your personal steps or risk thresholds to others can steal your joy and stall your growth; true progress is measured only by honoring your own unique timing and internal guidance. People Also Ask (FAQ) Why is it so hard to take action after receiving spiritual guidance? The human mind naturally gravitates toward familiarity and often projects the entire future path at once, creating a sense of overwhelm that paralyzes small steps. Reiki helps quiet this noise so you can focus exclusively on a single, doable action. How can I handle the fear of judgment from family when starting Reiki? Taking a step into your practice can feel intimidating if you fear pushback from loved ones. Working with Reiki energy helps clear the heavy emotional blocks around external expectations and supports you in finding gentle, authentic ways to share your path. What should I do if my manifestation goal feels too big to start? Instead of focusing on the final outcome or trying to change your entire lifestyle overnight, choose one micro-goal or small action for the week, such as a brief self-Reiki commitment or a single exploratory conversation, to build momentum naturally.

MOVE – Faith Takes Action (4)Sermon Title: Move Forward – Faith Refuses to Go BackWednesday, September 23, 2026God didn't bring you this far to take you backward. When He says “Go forward,” faith refuses to let fear send it back.In this fourth message of the MOVE, Faith Takes Action series, we continue the journey from taking the first step, to staying faithful, to leaving behind what cannot go forward. Now the challenge is clear: MOVE FORWARD.The Israelites stood at the Red Sea with the past behind them and an impossible, looking obstacle in front of them. Fear made them want to return to Egypt, but God had already brought them out, and He was calling them forward.Exodus 14:13–15 reminds us that there is a time to stand firm and trust God, but there is also a time when God says, “GO FORWARD!”FAITH REFUSES TO GO BACKFear can make familiar bondage look safer than unfamiliar freedom. But God doesn't call us to keep returning to what He has already delivered us from.Isaiah 43:18–19 reminds us not to dwell on the former things because God is doing a new thing and making a way where there seems to be no way.This message challenges us to stop romanticizing the past, stop revisiting what God has brought us through, and recognize that what's in front of us is greater than what's behind us.Through the story of the Red Sea and the words of Philippians 3:13–14, we are reminded to:• Forget what lies behind.• Strain forward to what lies ahead.• Press on toward God's calling.You may not be where you want to be yet, but thank God, you're not where you used to be.WHAT DOES FORWARD LOOK LIKE?Moving forward may look different for each of us:• Maintaining a healthy boundary.• Refusing to revisit an offense you've already released.• Continuing the financial discipline you've begun.• Serving even when nobody applauds.• Renewing your mind.• Applying for the opportunity.• Having the conversation.• Forgiving.• Starting again after a setback.• Refusing to mentally return to what God has already brought you through.Your step may feel small, but forward is forward.You don't have to cross the entire wilderness tonight. Just obey God with what's in front of you.Faith Takes Action. Faith Keeps Moving. Faith Leaves It Behind. And Faith Refuses to Go Back.Wherever God is leading you, choose to trust Him, follow Him, and MOVE FORWARD.

Podcast, Jill Allen speaks with Brian Mills, president and founder of ROAM Commercial Realty, about what orthodontists should know about commercial real estate in today's market. Brian shares his background in the dental industry and explains how ROAM exclusively represents healthcare tenants, emphasizing that today's market has higher construction costs and lease rates and can't be timed by waiting for elections or rate drops. They discuss shifting location strategies (retail vs. medical office), why “location isn't everything,” and the importance of data-driven demographic analysis over fears of saturation. Brian outlines key negotiation levers for startups—tenant improvement allowances, build-out and post-opening free rent, and controlling triple net exposure and added fees—while stressing the need for a strong team, mentorship, and a patient experience that values human interaction alongside selective AI tools. Connect With Our Guest ROAM Commercial Realty - https://www.roamcommercialrealty.com/ Takeaways The commercial real estate market is constantly changing.Doctors should be aware of current market conditions.Negotiation is key in securing favorable lease terms.Tenant improvement allowances are crucial for startups.Understanding additional fees in leases is essential.Retail spaces are becoming more common for practices.Location is important, but not the only factor for success.Fear is a significant barrier for new business owners.Education empowers clients to make informed decisions.Market saturation can be misleading; data is key.Surrounding yourself with a strong team is essential for success.Mentorship can provide invaluable guidance and support.Don't underestimate the importance of detailed communication with clients.The success rate for startups in orthodontics and dentistry is high when done correctly.Chapters 00:00 Introduction02:55 Brian Mills Background06:04 Market Pulse 202616:03 Retail Versus Medical Space21:22 Lease Negotiation Levers27:28 Hidden Fees And Triple Net32:31 Landlord Math And Valuation35:08 Fear Before The Leap39:20 Coaches And Great Teams41:38 Oversaturation And Market Data47:40 Bank Loans And Cash Flow49:32 Old School Human Touch53:51 How To Get in Contact Episode Credits:  Hosted by Jill AllenProduced by Jordann KillionAudio Engineering by Garrett LuceroAre you ready to start a practice of your own?

LESSON 274Today Belongs To Love. Let Me Not Fear.Father, today I would let all things be as You created them, and give Your Son the honor due his sinlessness; the love of brother to his brother and his Friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as well the truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You created him.A special blessing comes to us today, from Him Who is our Father. Give this day to Him, and there will be no fear today, because the day is given unto Love.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this episode, Andrew Menechian, founder of Peak Performance coaching in Sydney and a 12+ year veteran of the fitness industry, explores how coaches, parents, and trainers can use body composition feedback as a powerful tool—without triggering food fear or unhealthy body image concerns. You'll discover why scale weight is a misleading metric, when body composition data actually serves an athlete versus when it creates unnecessary pressure, and how to recognize the subtle signs that someone isn't eating enough (which show up in training performance first). Andrew breaks down the psychology of how the words adults use around food and bodies directly shape athlete mindsets, and shares practical habits that support recovery and muscle maintenance without complexity. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitcommitai/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fitcommitaiFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fitcommitaiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fitcommitaiWebsite: https://fitcommit.aiDownload FitCommit: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6748652177LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmenechian/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewmenechian/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewmenechianX: https://x.com/andrewmenechianTo learn more visit @thesportsnutritionplaybook and thesportsnutritionplaybook.com.Check out our YouTube channel for more sports nutrition tips and tricks.  Have questions to ask our sports dietitians? email us at info@thesportsnutritionplaybook.com

John Leake joins Frank and J Gulinello to discuss his book Mind Viruses: America's Irrational Obsessions and the fears that keep reshaping American life. From the War on Terror and COVID to a Massachusetts bar still fighting over masks, we'll ask how a crisis becomes a moral mission—and why its rules survive after the emergency fades. Later, J stays for open lines, super chats, drug commercial side effects, and checking the score of the Yankees game.

We look at how these experiences can be approached as opportunities to build confidence rather than as things to avoid.We emphasize doing this with self-kindness, non-judgment, and a curious mindset. The first step is to take small, manageable steps and to check in with our body and breathing so we do not overwhelm ourselves. We use the example of fear of flying, beginning with simply going to the airport in a calm, intentional way and observing what happens from a distance or in a low-pressure setting.The next step is to expand gradually by repeating the practice until it feels routine and less threatening. We point out that the goal is to let our mind and body experience the situation as safe through repetition, while noticing and appreciating small gains along the way.We also talk about putting something meaningful on the other side of the fear, so we have a reason to move through it. In the example of flying, this could mean taking a short flight to visit someone we care about. We close by encouraging patience, imperfection, and one small step at a time, rather than expecting immediate or perfect results.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #AnxietyRelief #MentalHealth #FacingFears #OvercomingAnxiety #NervousSystemRegulation #Mindfulness #PersonalGrowth #PanicManagement #EmotionalWellness #HealingJourney #AnxietySupport #SelfKindness #CalmYourMind #StressManagement #HolisticWellness #CourageOverFear #AnxietyFree #AnxietyRecovery #AgoraphobiaSupport #FearAsATeacher #ExposureTherapy #MentalHealthPodcast #MindfulLiving #SelfCompassion #AnxietyHelp #CalmTheNervousSystem #OvercomingFear #AnxietyWarrior #HealingAnxiety #PeaceOfMind #MentalHealthAwareness #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible. Today is September 30th, and our readings are Zechariah 7–9 and Luke 13. Zechariah speaks to people trying to rebuild their lives after exile. They have questions about religion, fasting, and what faithfulness should look like now. And God's response is remarkably practical: Judge fairly. Show mercy and kindness to one another. Do not oppress widows, orphans, foreigners, and the poor. Don't scheme against one another. And then Zechariah gives us a beautiful vision of restoration. Old men and women will once again sit in the streets of Jerusalem. Children will play there. God's people will come home. And their king will come to them, righteous and victorious, yet humble, riding on a donkey. Then in Luke 13, Jesus confronts some of the hardest realities of life. People have been murdered by Pilate. A tower has collapsed and killed eighteen people. A woman has lived bent over for eighteen years. The world is falling down. But Jesus refuses to let tragedy tell us what God is like. Instead, he shows us the kingdom. A gardener tends patiently to a tree. A woman who has been bent over is lifted up. A mustard seed grows. Yeast quietly works through the dough. Something is happening. The kingdom of God is rising up. TODAY'S DEVOTION When the World Is Falling Down The world is falling down. Those are the headlines. They were the headlines in Jesus' day too. Violence. Tragedy. Disaster. Death. People come to Jesus with news that Pilate has killed some Galileans while they were offering sacrifices. It's horrifying. And behind their report seems to be a question. Why? Why did this happen to them? Did they somehow deserve it? Was God judging them? Were they worse than everyone else? Jesus says no. Then he brings up another tragedy. A tower in Siloam collapsed and killed eighteen people. Were they worse sinners than everyone else in Jerusalem? Again, Jesus says no. I think that's important. Because human beings have a long history of trying to make sense of suffering by assigning blame. Something terrible happens, and we want to know whose fault it was. Sometimes religious people take it even further. They tell us that tragedy is God's punishment. That suffering tells us something about the moral worth of the person who suffers. Jesus refuses that explanation. Towers fall. Violence happens. Bodies break. People die. We live in a world that groans. And Jesus doesn't give us an easy explanation for all of it. Instead, he gives us himself. And he announces something new. The kingdom of God is rising up. Look at what happens next. Jesus encounters a woman who has been bent over for eighteen years. Eighteen years. Imagine seeing the world that way for eighteen years. Unable to stand straight. Unable to lift your face. And Jesus sees her. That's important. He sees her. He calls her over. And he says: "Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!" Then he touches her. And immediately she stands up straight. The world has been pushing her down for eighteen years. Jesus raises her up. That's the kingdom. And when the religious leader objects because Jesus has healed her on the Sabbath, Jesus calls her a daughter of Abraham. He restores more than her body. He restores her place. Her dignity. Her belonging. The world bends people down. The kingdom raises them up. The world says some people don't matter. Jesus sees them. The world creates categories of insiders and outsiders. Jesus calls her daughter. The world is falling down. The kingdom is rising up. And Jesus says the kingdom is like a mustard seed. Tiny. Easy to overlook. But alive. Growing. Becoming a place where birds can find shelter. The kingdom is like yeast hidden in flour. You can't always see it working. But slowly, quietly, it changes everything. I need that word. Because sometimes I look at the world and I see everything that's falling down. War. Violence. Fear. Division. Loneliness. Grief. People bent beneath burdens they've carried for years. And it can seem overwhelming. Maybe you feel that too. But Jesus invites us to look again. Look for the mustard seed. Look for the yeast. Look for the woman standing up straight. Look for mercy. Look for healing. Look for forgiveness. Look for people crossing boundaries to love one another. Look for the quiet work of the Spirit. The kingdom is rising. And Zechariah gives us the same hope. He sees a king coming. But this king doesn't arrive on a war horse. He comes humbly. Riding on a donkey. And Zechariah says this king will bring an end to war. That's the king Jesus chooses to be. He doesn't save the world by becoming more violent than the violent. He doesn't conquer the world by becoming a greater version of Caesar. He comes in humility. He comes in peace. He comes in self-giving love. He comes to raise up those who have been bent down. And ultimately, he enters into the world's death and rises from it. That's our hope. The world is falling down. But death doesn't get the last word. Violence doesn't get the last word. Fear doesn't get the last word. The kingdom of God is rising up. And Jesus invites us to participate in it. To show mercy. To pursue justice. To lift up those who have been bent down. To make room for those who have been pushed aside. To become little mustard seeds of hope. To let the life and love of Christ work through us like yeast in the dough. So don't lose heart. The headlines aren't the whole story. There is another story unfolding. The kingdom is rising. Christ is making all things new. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May we see the kingdom rising in the midst of a world that seems to be falling down. And may we join Jesus in his work of healing, mercy, justice, peace, and love. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

At 500 knots each, two F-16s point straight at each other with less than a second to react, one of them upside down.

You can have a solid team, good new patient flow, and real culture momentum and still feel weirdly stuck. That's the trap we dig into today: the belief that you should wait until you feel 100% ready before making a big move in your dental practice, like dropping from four clinical days to three. I share a recent coaching conversation with a practice owner who has all the ingredients to cut a day right now, yet keeps postponing it for “sometime this year,” and we unpack what's really going on beneath that word.We break down why certainty is rarely a prerequisite for smart dental practice management. Fear is sneaky, and it often disguises itself as being responsible: “I'll do it when the schedule is cleaner,” “when the systems are tighter,” “when savings are higher.” But those goalposts keep moving. The cost of waiting is not just lost production, it's lost CEO time, lost energy, lost family time, and another year of operating the same way. Confidence doesn't arrive first; it shows up after you commit, execute, and prove you can handle what comes up.Then we get tactical. I explain why putting a date in stone changes everything, how to plan backwards from that date, and why you should expect problems after the jump instead of treating them as evidence you made the wrong call. We also talk through the financial fear of losing production and why reducing clinical days can actually push better scheduling, delegation, assistant utilisation, and higher production per hour, while freeing up time to work on the business like a true CEO dentist.If you're ready to stop living in “someday,” subscribe, share this with a practice owner who needs it, and leave a review.

What if fear is just a subscription you forgot you signed up for? Energy healer, Emotion Code practitioner, and podcast host Mo Smith joins Will and Karen to explain why fear is such an easy motivator, why it follows us even into spiritual practice, and how she's spent the last six years running a real-life experiment: quitting her job with six weeks of savings and living on faith and surrender.She shares her simple two-minute meditation for receiving guidance, how to tell a genuine message from monkey mind, and what actually happens in an Emotion Code session (yes, there's a magnet, and yes, the skeptic had questions). The episode ends with a challenge for every listener.Quick favor

What if the way you think on the golf course isn't just a golf problem?The patterns you practice in everyday life often come with you to the course. Perfectionism. People pleasing. Overthinking. Catastrophizing. The need for control. Fear of failure. Self-criticism. Even the tendency to take care of everyone else while forgetting about yourself.In this episode of Think Above Par, Kathy explores how these familiar patterns can show up in your golf game—and how the golf course can become a powerful place to recognize them and practice responding differently.You'll learn why a bad shot can trigger the same mental habits you experience off the course, how even useful traits can sometimes work against you, and why the goal isn't necessarily to change who you are. It's to become aware of your patterns and ask:Is this pattern helping me here?Because golf doesn't just reveal your swing. It reveals your patterns. And once you can see a pattern, you have an opportunity to practice a different response—on the course and off.Receive free weekly mental golf tips HEREHow many shots is your mental golf costing you?

AI is changing quickly. So how should Christian families think about money, investing, work, and the future without being driven by fear? In this episode of Abraham's Wallet, Steven Manuel and Mark Parrett take a serious look at the rise of artificial intelligence, concerns about superintelligence, and what AI could mean for jobs, investments, digital security, and the way families prepare for an uncertain future. But the bigger question isn't whether we can predict exactly what AI will do. It's whether fear should be allowed to dictate how we run our households and manage our money. Rather than trying to “AI-proof” a portfolio or make dramatic financial moves based on the latest headline, Steven and Mark explore four possible futures for AI—from catastrophe and a messy transition to abundance and a slower-than-expected transformation. They discuss why diversification matters, why ordinary financial planning may still be the right approach, and why your own job and skills may deserve more attention than trying to predict which companies will survive AI. The conversation also brings the issue back to Scripture. What does the Parable of the Talents teach us about fear and stewardship? What's the difference between prudent preparation and fear-based financial decisions? And how can Christian fathers prepare their families for uncertainty without trying to secure the future entirely through their own strength? Covered in this episode: • How Christians should think about AI and superintelligence• Should you “AI-proof” your investment portfolio?• AI, jobs, and the future of work• Why diversification matters in an uncertain economy• The difference between prudence and fear-based financial decisions• What the Parable of the Talents teaches about fear and money• Biblical principles for preparing for uncertain times• How much cash and emergency supplies should a family keep?• Digital security, scams, passwords, and AI-powered fraud• Whether gold, Bitcoin, land, or other assets make sense during uncertainty• How Christian fathers can prepare their households without panic• Why living below your means and maintaining financial margin still matters• Faith, stewardship, and trusting God with an uncertain future AI may change dramatically. The economy may change. The world may change. But the calling remains remarkably simple: be faithful with what God has put in your hands today. Don't let the next threat—or the fear surrounding it—pull you away from faithful stewardship.

On this week's Political Breakfast, we fast-forward past the November midterm elections and land in 2028. Democratic U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock: their names have been tossed around for a possible run for President. Warnock was pressed about it at a recent event. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson interpret his vague answer with host Lisa Rayam. Plus, the latest with GOP Congressman Mike Collins' campaign for Ossoff's U.S. Senate seat. Can Collins maintain Trump's support while also appealing to Georgia voters who do not identify strongly with Trump? And against the advice of fellow Republicans in Georgia, Trump continues to focus on widespread claims of election fraud. Now Trump and his allies are sparking fears about non-citizen voters influencing the November midterm elections. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Humans have always formed tribes. At work, those tribes emerge around far more than shared goals. They form around who we trust, where we feel we belong, what we believe, and what we stand to gain or lose. Those workplace tribes can strengthen an organization or quietly work against it. Jim Vaselopulos and Jan Rutherford examine what leaders can do to shape the conditions that influence behavior, looking beyond individual performance to the environment, incentives, and norms people respond to. They also explore four ways leaders affect the people and systems around them: subtraction, division, addition, and multiplication. That same environment determines whether people speak up, take risks, and challenge one another, or stay quiet out of fear. Jim and Jan explore psychological safety, the tension between developing people and getting mission-critical work done, and why leadership requires continually balancing priorities that are often in conflict. Ultimately, much of it comes back to belonging. Where people feel they belong shapes whom they trust, what they are willing to say, how they behave, and what they are willing to do for the group.

The Greek word “escha” means last or farthest away.There are many different views and words for this study. Specifically, Jenny views it as the “last days.”Like many others, Reagan and Jenny have been exposed to the fear of the end times that Hollywood and society have perpetuated.However, the book of Revelations isn't about fear. It is about the revealing of Jesus Christ. [06:55] Jenny: “Revelation is ‘the revealing of'… It means the revealing of Jesus Christ. It is about Jesus. When you look at Revelations with those lenses of ‘Where are we seeing him revealed?' your view starts to change.” It reveals the New Covenant and what that means for us, believers.[07:23] The Major Views of the End TimesThe dispensational view looks at Revelations at different times. From the growth of the Church to the 7-year peace agreement of the Antichrist and Jesus' return to reign and end all evil. The Church is raptured before, in the middle, or after the 7-year tribulationAmillennialism believes that Jesus reigns right now. There will be no rapture and the Church waits for Jesus' second coming and then eternity.A preterist view believes the Revelations were fulfilled in the first century. A partial preterist believes that it has mostly been fulfilled and only awaits the return of Jesus.Other views include historical, post-millennialism, futurism, and idealism. Listen to the full episode to gain a better understanding of the different views of the end times with Jenny.Jenny is a partial preterist with an amillennialist viewpoint. She believes that Jesus is reigning in the present. Once He comes back, he will bring eternity.[13:09] The Journey Into Studying the book of RevelationIn 2020, Jenny started questioning what other people told her about the end times. She started reading Revelations and felt uneasy about how some things didn't make sense.She discovered that the 7-year tribulation theology came from Daniel's 70 Weeks prophecy. Jenny started reading the Book of Daniel and listened to different viewsJenny started studying the Hebrew writings in Daniel. It's through this that she better understands the 70 Weeks prophecy and how it actually refers to Jesus and His ministry.The next step in her journey was understanding what Matthew 24 says when talking about the end times and the great tribulation.In the past year, she studied Revelations and listened to different views and perspectives. With prayer, Jenny felt the Holy Spirit confirm her beliefs not with fear but with peace.[17:02] A Deeper Look Into Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theology and HistoryDispensationalism was made popular in the 1800s by John Nelson Darby. His work has then been taught in seminaries.Josephus was a first-century Jewish historian. He documented the history of the Jewish-Roman War. His works are crucial in understanding the views of the end times.In Matthew 23, Jesus proclaimed destruction and judgment on that generation before He died in 30 AD. In 66 AD, Roman armies surrounded Jerusalem before pulling out and allowing Christians who heeded Jesus' warnings to flee the city.The Roma-Jewish War lasted for 3 and a half years as written in the books of Revelations and Daniel. It ended in 70 AD after a final siege lasting 5 months.A better understanding of these dates gave Jenny a deeper look. Learn more about these historical dates and Bible writings in Jenny's full explanation in this episode.[27:02] The Book of RevelationsMany believe that John wrote Revelations between 90 and 95 AD. However, based on his age and writing, it makes sense to have been written around 60 ADRevelations is the last book in the Bible as it describes the destruction of the temple and how it embodies the Mosaic Covenant.Jenny asks important questions to better understand Revelations in her journey. This brings her to the realization that the Old Covenant is done and the New Covenant has everything we need.[31:30] Explaining the Olivet DiscourseThe Olivet Discourse is found in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Before this, Jesus calls out the Pharisees and scribes as hypocrites in Matthew 23.Jesus and His disciples talk about His proclamation of judgment on the Pharisees, the destruction of the temple, and when it will occur. The disciples ask Jesus about the signs of coming and the end of the age, referring to the Old Covenant Age.In Matthew, Jesus refers to the “Abomination of Desolation” mentioned by Daniel about the first-century destruction. Luke 21 tells the same story of this discourse where he writes about this desolation as Jerusalem surrounded by armies.These chapters and verses can be seen in the Roman-Jewish war between 66 AD and 70 AD.Jesus' proclamation was fulfilled. Romans conquered, took people captive, and left others dead. Not one stone was left in the temple when it was destroyed in the war.[42:38] The End of the Old CovenantThe 70 weeks of Daniel was during Jesus' 3-and-a-half-year ministry. He was crucified midway through the 70th week. [43:19] Jenny: “When Jesus came when he resurrected and ascended into heaven, He began reigning at that point. The new covenant was in effect for those who accepted it.” After Jesus' resurrection and ascension, the New Covenant and His reign began.This overlapped with the Old Covenant as it became obsolete and slowly vanished. The fall of the temple was the end of the Old Covenant.[46:14] Following the Way of the New CovenantRecently, there has been talk about rebuilding the temple. However, Jenny believes that this is a distraction of the enemy from our task to grow and become many. [46:34] Jenny: “You and I are the temple and the Holy Spirit. God dwells in us and where He dwells is His glory. So when it says the glory will fill the whole Earth, that is us, believers.” People are so focused on what can happen in the future that it distracts us from what we should be doing. Many are scared and choose not to live their lives due to this fear.We get stuck in fear. However, it's important to ask about if this is from the Lord. The Lord is perfect love and not based on fear.John, as a prophet of the first century, wrote Revelations referring to the first destruction of the temple like the prophets of the Old Testament.Jenny believes we are at the end of the book, experiencing Jesus' reign and waiting for His return. We are made spiritually new in Christ but yearn for physical restoration.[56:16] Freedom From Fear By Understanding the End TimesWhat Jenny has learned about the end times has helped her in understanding the New Covenant.She is now on a new journey to find out what it means to be a new creation and know our true identity.Once we stop fearing and looking for the Antichrist and more, we can focus on Jesus and the New Covenant. There is freedom from fear to be able to live and move forward. About JennyJenny Mire is the founder of The Rooted Truth and Think Fit.

Have you ever walked away from a moment and thought, Why did I say that? Why did I act that way? Stress, fear, and overwhelming circumstances can affect us more than we realize. And surprisingly, David knew exactly what that felt like. In this episode, I’m unpacking Psalm 34 and the very relatable story behind it. We’ll talk about what David did when life became overwhelming, why seeking God is different from simply seeking relief, and how God meets us without shame, even when we haven’t handled things perfectly. If life feels a little crazy right now, Psalm 34 offers practical truth, hope, and a way forward.

Xo, Donna Key Takeaways: 0:01:55 - When Life Makes You Crazy: Even David Lost It 0:07:55 - Seek the Lord, Not the Rescue: He Does the Delivering 0:08:50 - Deliverance Is a Birth, Not Amazon Prime 0:10:10 - Radiant, Not Ashamed: God Convicts but Never Shames 0:12:30 - Jesus Camps Around You: Taste and See That He's Good What We Talk About The surprising backstory behind Psalm 34 Why David fled into enemy territory and pretended to be insane What David did after fear and circumstances got the best of him The difference between seeking deliverance and seeking the Lord Why God’s deliverance can take time How to recognize the difference between conviction and shame What it means to look to God and become “radiant” Why desperation can lead us into deeper prayer What “taste and see that the Lord is good” looks like in real life Using Psalm 34 as a go-to passage when life feels overwhelming What to Do When Life Makes You Feel a Little Crazy Seek the Lord. David didn’t say he sought deliverance, he said he sought the Lord, and the Lord delivered him from his fears. Trust the process. Deliverance isn’t always like Amazon Prime. Sometimes it’s more like delivering a baby, it develops over time. Just because you don’t see immediate change doesn’t mean God isn’t working. Look to God instead of looking at your shame. God convicts us, but He doesn’t shame us. When we turn our eyes toward Him, we’re reminded of His love, acceptance, and help. Pray when you’re desperate. You don’t have to wait until you have it all together to pray. Desperation can be the very thing that drives you to seek God. Take refuge in Him. Don’t just know about God’s goodness. “Taste and see” it for yourself by experiencing His presence and trusting Him in the middle of what you’re facing.
