‘So-called turmoil or shortcomings in my life? I turn them into power or energy'Best known for playing the serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the 1991 thriller ‘The Silence of the Lambs', Sir Anthony's journey to Hollywood stardom started with humble beginnings.Born into a working class family in the Welsh steel town of Port Talbot in 1937, his parents first ran a bakery, and then later a pub. Their strong work ethic was imparted on their son, who, despite struggling socially and educationally in his early years, was determined to make a success of himself. Throwing himself into reading and creative pastimes like music and art, Sir Anthony studied at both the Welsh Royal College of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy for Dramatic Art.His early career saw him working alongside greats including Katharine Hepburn, Lawrence Olivier, Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole across both stage and screen, with his international breakout coming in the 1980 film ‘The Elephant Man', which received multiple Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.It would be another decade before he truly cemented his place as a Hollywood A-lister: playing the infamous serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter, regarded by many critics as one of the greatest film villains of all-time. The role won him the first of his two Oscars, with the second coming for his performance in the 2020 film ‘The Father'.But the 87-year-old's long journey to the very top was not only a professional struggle, but at times a personal struggle too, having also battled alcoholism early on in his career - which he says made him a difficult person to work with.Thank you to the Culture team for their help in making this programme.

Father teaches us that we have a weekly celebration of the Resurrection.

A Prayer to Know God is Faithful to Forgive Let us not forget the comforting and steady truth that God is faithful to forgive. In today’s episode by Erin H. Warren, we are reminded that we can cling to God’s promise that He not only forgives but purifies us from all unrighteousness.Through confession, we can find freedom and restored fellowship with God. Forgiveness leads to joy, light, and renewed intimacy with the Father. Reference: 1 John 1: 9-10 Prayer: Lord, we confess before you that we have missed the mark. Please forgive us. help us to walk in your light teach us and guide us as we do let your steadfast love surround us as we continue to trust you lord we shout for joy in your forgiveness and thank you that we can experience fellowship with you it's in your name I pray amen LINKS: How to Pray God's Word For Your Children Guide Connect with Erin Warren Get today's devotion and prayer in written form to keep for future use!

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!What if the sheer volume of life—the sudden emergencies, the relentless busyness, the lingering questions about the future—has created a wall of "clutter" between you and God? What happens when you feel buried under anxiety or anger, wondering why God allows hard things to happen, and struggling to see Him as a loving Father rather than a harsh taskmaster? How do we scoop up all those heavy burdens—the fears, the frustrations, the doubts—and actually lay them at the feet of Jesus to find rest? How do we practice the holy habit of "self-talk" when our hearts are in despair, giving ourselves permission to be real about where we are while still clinging to the promise of who God is? In Psalm 43—a short, orphan psalm often viewed as the conclusion to Psalm 42—the writer cries out for vindication and light. Without a formal title or choir direction, this intimate prayer offers a raw look at a soul demanding truth amidst oppression, bridging the gap between deep despair and the confident expectation that praise will return. Join us for this encouraging 16-minute prayer through Psalm 43 on the Praying Christian Women podcast as host Jamie Hampton opens up about her own week of uncertainty and leads us in clearing the spiritual clutter. Whether you’re ready to worship or just hanging on by a thread, discover how to shift your question from "Why is this happening?" to "God, show me what You're doing," and find the courage to tell your downcast soul: "Hope in God, for I will praise Him again."

In this raw and urgent episode, Nancy confronts the powerful and often undetected beast of bitterness—and its grip on individuals, families, and even the Church. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and the story of Esau, she exposes how bitterness doesn't just stem from trauma or pain but becomes a root system that feeds self-indulgence, victim mentalities, and spiritual stagnation. Nancy calls us to step out of the swirl, stop crawling into the belly of the beast with those we love, and instead take our place at the table of the Lord—where justice, identity, and restoration are found in Him alone. This is a sobering call to break free from the cycles of performance, creature worship, and resentment, and to choose your birthright in Christ over the bait of bitterness. Thanks for Listening!

,When we are walking with God we are literally on the outside edge of the Matrix looking in. The enemy will do all it can to draw us back in using our emotions and our moral compass of right and wrong. Our trust in God must accept his timing and his vision. It is the hardest part of our walk and demands of us to release the burdens, to see the enemy not each other and to trust in God's ultimate timing.

Stéphanie welcomes Jenny Guinness to discuss the power of prayer. Jenny has been married to Os Guinness for over 50 years. Using the remarkable biography and spiritual journey of James Fraser—a pioneering missionary in China—as the centerpiece, Jenny Guinness draws out key lessons for deepening our own prayer lives. Prayer, as lived out by James Fraser, is an arena of tenacity, faith, and ongoing transformation. It's about keeping the line open to God, partnering deeply with others, and refusing to give up even when answers seem delayed. Through prayer, spiritual strongholds are broken, lives are changed, and God's kingdom advances in unseen and visible ways. If you enjoy this conversation on prayer, consider our Gospel Spice Course on prayer titled "The Heart Behind Prayer." It contains a full array of different videos to inspire you to pray! For more info: https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer Jenny shares about her early exposure to prayer at the Christian community and study center, L'Abri, where prayer was not only valued but strategically woven into daily life. James Fraser exemplified this through his innovative approach: he formed an “entrepreneurial” network of intercessors back in England, tasking them with regular, committed prayers for the Lisu people he was trying to reach in remote China. These prayers were not haphazard; they were systematic and intentional, teaching us that powerful prayer often involves faithful partnership and unwavering commitment across distance and time. A major turning point in Fraser's ministry—and in Jenny Guinness' understanding—came in the realization that demonic oppression wasn't an ancient relic but a present reality for many. Fraser's confrontation with the demonic practices among the Lisu forced him to wrestle with New Testament accounts of spiritual warfare and rely on more than just persuasive words; he learned to battle through persistent, “fighting” prayer anchored in scripture, much like Jesus did when confronted by evil. Fraser's persistence, even in the face of repeated setbacks and unresponsiveness, illustrates that prayer is more than asking for blessings—it is warfare for spiritual breakthrough. Jenny Guinness points out the importance of leaning on the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God during spiritual opposition. Fraser labored for years without visible results among the Lisu, which led to moments of deep discouragement. However, he learned the critical lesson of not giving up, trusting God's timing above his own. Jenny Guinness discusses practical steps when facing unanswered prayer, including honest spiritual “inventory”: humbly asking whether there's unresolved sin, spiritual strongholds, or simply an issue of God's timing at work. Even when prayer seems unanswered, the lesson is to keep the lifeline to God open, trusting His goodness and perfect timing. When discussing Halloween, Jenny Guinness cautions us, that while many cultural celebrations are harmless for children, the spiritual realm is real. Christians are called not to live in fear, but to be wise, discerning, and rooted in biblical truth, aware of ways the enemy seeks footholds. To inform and equip believers for spiritual battles, Jenny Guinness recommends resources by authors such as Francis McNutt, Derek Prince, and Randy Clark. She emphasizes that understanding and engaging in spiritual warfare should be based on biblical principles, wisdom, and community support—not fear or curiosity. Let's commit to the kind of prayer that is persistent, Spirit-led, and shaped by scripture—standing together as the body of Christ even across great distances, for God's glory and the freedom of others. MORE ABOUT OUR COURSE "THE HEART BEHIND PRAYER" There are a few things in our Christian life that we know we should do more, or at least better – and prayer just might top the list. Prayer is a mystery. Why would a conversation with a human have any influence on God's eternal, sovereign plan? It defies logic, and beckons love. How can God, the Almighty Lord of Hosts, be this close, this personal? It defies understanding, and beckons involvement. More at https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer  But, lack of time, inspiration, and discipline, combined with the ruthless tyranny of our busy lives, push prayer to the periphery, to the “one day I'll get to it” pile. And yet, we can excel at what we endeavor to undertake. So, why isn't prayer more of a spiritual priority? Could we develop a mindset around prayer that made it attractive, inspiring, even maybe delightful? What if we attuned our spiritual ears to listen to God, and our spiritual eyes to see His provision? As an unassuming student, Stephanie humbly offers to share the little she have learned from others about the joy of prayer. She will give us theology, practical tips, and useful resources, sharing what works for her as we, together, learn to pray. If you find prayer intimidating, or if your lack of prayer makes you feel guilty or “less than,” then this is the place for you! If you have been a student of prayer for many years, this is the place for you too! If you have breath in your lungs, then prayer can become one of the deepest joys of your day. Don't miss out! More at https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer  To pray is to believe that God not only hears, but that He responds. It is to stand in the gap for a broken world, wielding the authority of Christ, empowered by the Spirit, and trusting in the goodness of the Father. The question is not whether prayer works, but whether we are willing to pray the kinds of prayers that invite God's Kingdom into the darkest places of the earth—and of our own hearts. We may never fully understand the mechanics of prayer, or how it intersects with God's sovereignty, but we are not called to understand everything. We are called to be faithful. And faithfulness means showing up—in prayer, in persistence, in expectation. So today, let us pray not only for the comfort of our hearts, but for the transformation of the world. Let us take our place as image-bearers, co-laborers, and co-heirs. Let us believe that God is still listening—and still acting. Because He is. There's only one way to find out what might happen when we truly pray like this. More at https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer  Stephanie doesn't really know how to pray. She's a humble student and absolute beginner at the holy endeavor that is prayer. So, this course isn't really about what she's learned, or any wisdom she has. But, she's sat at the feet of many prayer warriors over the decades, through books and teachings. So, she will share what she has learned from them. Humility is going to be our primary heart posture! With each lesson, she will offer a few thoughts, practices, and ideas – with much humility, and not taking herself too seriously. She will also share her favorite books and resources about prayer. Also, she will introduce you to some of the most influential prayer warriors of our history as the Body of Christ. Most importantly, she will invite YOU to pray! Learning to pray comes from praying. Our humble ambition is to inspire you to pray, and to give you a few tips on how to do that. Then, it's up to you! Prayer is a lifelong endeavor. Let's make it delightful together!

"My Father, the Cat" is a short story by American author, Henry Slesar. As described by Fantastic Universe in December 1957: Here is an off-trail story that is guaranteed to make some of you take a very searching second look at some of the young men you know.

Father explains that in today's culture it is sometimes hard to see Christ.

Sharing stories of God’s goodness isn’t bragging—it’s obedience. Psalm 9:1 calls us to give thanks with our whole hearts and boldly speak about the wonderful things God has done. In a world filled with criticism, division, and constant noise, our testimonies become powerful reminders that God is still active, still providing, and still working in the lives of His people. Gratitude grows when we speak it out loud, and joy follows when we point everything back to Him. Highlights Testimonies strengthen faith—ours and the faith of those who hear them (Psalm 9:1). Sharing God’s goodness publicly isn’t boasting when the glory goes to Him. Gratitude helps guard our hearts against negativity, comparison, and discouragement. A thankful posture begins with honest self-reflection and, when needed, confession. Blessings—big or small—become fuel for worship when we acknowledge God as their source. Speaking about God’s deeds invites both believers and non-believers to notice His presence. Shifting our mindset from complaint to praise reshapes our spiritual outlook and our witness.

Full Transcript Below: Tell of God’s Wonderful DeedsBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” — Psalm 9:1 A few months ago, I arranged a meeting with a publisher for two of my clients. Within an hour, we secured two book contracts for them. We were thrilled! Before the publisher ended the call, I asked if she could stay on for a few more minutes. I also had a book I wanted to pitch to them, and by God's grace, I had secured a contract for myself! I wanted to share God’s goodness, so I posted on social media. I couldn’t wait to share about his goodness at that moment. I aimed for it to be a testimony to others struggling to get a contract, letting them know that even though this book had been sitting on my laptop for years, God had finally found a place for it. Although some people later told me that I was bragging about my accomplishments, I truly took it as an opportunity to acknowledge God's goodness. We are called to share what God has done in our lives. In this chaotic world we live in, it's easy to hear criticism on social media and in various parts of our lives. What we need more of are testimonies of how God is moving in and through us. The above verse reminds us that we are to tell of God's wondrous deeds. This is an excellent way for us to keep an attitude of gratitude, especially as we approach the holidays. With all the political posts and division plaguing our country, we need to be people who tell of God's good deeds, not the horrible things we wish we could fix. Take a moment and analyze your life. Are you someone who often tells of God's wondrous deeds? Does this help you keep an attitude of gratitude? Do you find yourself complaining more than rejoicing? Although keeping a thankful attitude can be difficult, it is important to maintain it each day. It may be as simple as counting your blessings, even the ones you take for granted. Other times, it might involve making a grand gesture for someone as an act of kindness to show them Christ’s love in tangible ways. Regardless of the way you choose, tell of God's wondrous deeds. Brag on the Lord. Give him credit for everything in your life. Don't let anything get in the way of you celebrating all that God has done. Have you found that difficult? Analyze your heart. Do you have unconfessed sin or another area of your life that might be hindering you from truly rejoicing in the Lord? Go to Him and confess your sin. Afterwards, take a few moments to get out a blank journal and start writing down your blessings. This will transform your attitude as quickly as possible. Additionally, if you find yourself taking credit for things happening in your life instead of giving credit to God, it's likely your attitude is wrong. Repent of this behavior. Know that God is in control of all things in your life. Everything good you have in your life comes from him. The quicker you can adopt this perspective, the quicker you can change your attitude and pivot it to giving God all the glory he deserves. Vow to tell people of all the wondrous deeds he has done. Take a week and post on social media the great things God has done. Be in tune with the spirit and be on the lookout for all the ways God is working in your life. Be sure to tell others, both through social media and in person, all the things God has done. Do this with believers and non-believers, and you may find that non-believers are attracted to your example. As Christians, we are known more for what we are against rather than what we are for. Let us change our perspective so that people forget about us and always remember the Lord. Father, let us be people who tell of your wondrous deeds. Let us find various ways to celebrate all the things that you are doing. Let us give you all the praise and glory you deserve in multiple ways every day. Amen. Intersecting Faith & Life: Do you find yourself rejoicing or complaining about your life? In what ways can you change your attitude today?

This past Sunday, we had the great privilege of hosting Jonathan & Melissa Helser. Jonathan released a powerful word that invites us into a profound exploration of what it means to run the race of faith for the long haul. Drawing from Hebrews 12, we're reminded that we're surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses—heroes of faith who have gone before us, cheering us on. The central challenge is clear: how do we keep running when blizzards hit our lives? When discouragement, comparison, and the enemy's lies threaten to make us lose our way? The answer lies in what Jesus himself did. In two critical moments—Gethsemane and the cross—we see Jesus reaching for ropes that would lead him back home to the Father. These weren't random acts of desperation, but well-worn paths he'd walked many times before. The Lord's Prayer and Psalm 22 became his lifelines in the storm. This teaches us something revolutionary: if the Son of God needed spiritual disciplines and ancient prayers to navigate his darkest hours, how much more do we need them? The Psalms aren't just beautiful poetry—they're 150 well-worn paths back to God's heart, written in every human emotion from the highest highs to the lowest lows. We're challenged to ask ourselves: what kind of worshiper do we want to be 40 years from now? Will we still be fascinated with Jesus, or will we have grown familiar and distant? The vision is to become like those saints who, at 91 years old, still weep with wonder at the Father's love—not because they're sentimental, but because they've stayed connected to the source of all life.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

In this episode inspired by Taylor Swift's new song "Father Figure," Ryan lays out how Neve Campbell became the leader of the SCREAM franchise. Ryan describes Neve's contributions to the series, and step-by-step the recent history of SCREAM: How Wes Craven was the leader of the first 20 years of the series; how only Neve could have filled his shoes; how the Radio Silence era lacked a true leader; how the studio and creatives would not allow Neve to fill this role on Scream (2022); and how Neve inherited this role by taking the risk and standing alone to save the franchise in Scream 7 during a rocky time.  Neve's Contributions De Facto Leader in Scream 5 No Leader in Scream VI Saving Scream 7 Confession: What if Scream is Tainted Forever?

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Even though the phrase servant leadership isn't a biblical term, the Bible does tell us as leaders to serve! I am so thankful for God's Word and how it truly can inform how we work! Jesus tells us to serve in this passage. Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves (Luke 22:25-26). This verse follows a dispute among the disciples about who would be regarded as the greatest. Although we don't read as much detail about the last supper in Luke's account, we need to consider how Jesus modeled servant leadership to the disciples that night. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him (John 13:3-5). Jesus knew he was all powerful. God had put all things under his power yet he took the posture of a lowly servant and washed his disciples' feet, going as far as to use the towel on his body to dry them. He did not exercise lordship over them and demand they wash his feet, rather as the leader, he was the one who served. Do you exercise lordship, or, as a leader, do you serve? Maybe you are not yet thinking of yourself as a leader. Let's remove the notions of worldly appointments and titles. Jesus was not considered a leader by the people of his time, at least not in the sense of the synagogue or even in politics. It was through his service of speaking the Word of God, healing the sick, and performing miracles that Jesus came to be seen as a leader. And for some, his leadership blessed them, and others, it threatened. He didn't demand lordship as the Son of God, demanding to be followed. He was followed because he served! If you find yourself in a position where you do hold a title, are you using this for the betterment of those who see you in this position? What do they see? Are you demanding respect or giving it? Are you watching your team struggle to complete work or are you seeking to help?

Today's Promise: Romans 8:16 Do you ever struggle with doubt, fear, or uncertainty in your walk with God? The key to a confident, joyful Christian life begins with understanding who you are in Christ. As a child of God, you are forgiven, loved, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. You are an heir to His Kingdom, and nothing can separate you from His love. In each episode of The Daily Promise, we explore God's Word in a way that touches your heart and transforms your life. You'll discover how the Holy Spirit confirms your identity as God's child, how to live with bold faith, and how to experience peace that surpasses understanding. Just as Jesus presents us to the Father, the Spirit whispers to our hearts, reminding us: we belong to Him. Step into the freedom, confidence, and hope that come from knowing you are God's child.

Friend, our Almighty Father in Heaven is a good, good Father! Nothing can separate you from His love, so why not lean into Him more and more? Join us today for this encouraging Word. Join us on the podcast for day 14 of our BRAND NEW 30-day audio devotional: Living a Lifestyle of Prayer. This plan was lovingly created by the team at Help Club for Moms: moms just like you, with a heart for Jesus and for moms.

Prayer is one of the greatest privileges of the Christian life. Prayer gives us access to the highest office - the Almighty God. Prayer isn't a ritual or a formula. It's an open invitation into the presence of the living God. Whether you're praying for healing, for help, or for hope, this conversation will remind you that the veil has been torn, the way is open, and the Father is listening.   To learn more about Ronnie Smith's ministry or to connect with him, visit ronniesmith.org   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

“If the computer gets smarter than me… is that a problem?” Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks tackle the fear narrative around AI by comparing it to other powerful tools (cars, planes) that required strong safeguards—not panic. They explore why AI lacks moral intuition, how optimization without ethics can harm, and why deepfakes and spoofing demand new habits of verification. The conversation lands in the three lenses: honesty about our fears (self), charity through wiser trust and presence (others), under a living relationship with God that anchors what's real.Key IdeasPower needs guardrails: like aviation checklists and redundancies, AI calls for safety, oversight, and clear human control.Limits of machines: AI optimizes; it doesn't intuit, repent, or take responsibility—persons do.Edge cases matter: “no-win” moments (e.g., deer vs. car) reveal why human moral criteria must shape algorithms.Deception risk: voice/video/text imitation raises the bar for validation; adopt healthy skepticism and confirm identity more often.Back to reality: prioritize embodied relationships and parish life; let the Church help form attention, virtue, and trust.Links & References (none explicitly cited in this episode)CTA If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

We're jumping back into Relationships in HD with a foundation talk on connectedness—how a living relationship with God reorders everything: marriage, parenting, friendship, and our witness to a hurting world. Eric unpacks why Jesus at the center isn't a slogan but a way of life: husbands loving like Christ (Eph. 5), wives honoring, parents reflecting the Father's heart, and believers resisting a culture of condemnation by pointing people to the Savior who saves rather than shames (John 3:16–18). From Eden's breach and God's covering (Gen. 3) to the cross where love is proven (Rom. 5:6–8) and the promise that nothing can separate us (Rom. 8:31–39), this message calls us to walk in the light through ongoing repentance (1 John 1:5–9) and to let grace flow through us, not just to us. If your relationships need tools to cultivate, mend, or even restore, start here—on the sure foundation of the gospel. Key Scriptures (NKJV): John 3:16–18; John 1:12; John 10:27–30; Genesis 3:8–10, 21; Ephesians 5:25, 33; Romans 5:6–8; Romans 8:31–39; 1 John 1:5–9. Highlights: Connectedness: why our bond with God sets the tone for every other relationship. Jesus at the center of marriage and parenting—what that actually looks like day to day. Gospel posture: not condemning, but inviting people to the One who removes condemnation. Assurance that holds: the Son's hand, the Father's hand, the Spirit's seal. Walking in the light: repentance as a lifestyle that keeps fellowship fresh. Practical tools to cultivate, mend, or restore relationships with Scripture as the guide. Next Steps: Personalize John 3:16 in prayer this week (“For God so loved me…”). Ask the Lord where condemnation has replaced compassion, repent, and take one concrete step of grace—beginning at home. Invite a couple or friend who's struggling to listen and talk with you after.

What if the emptiness you feel despite your success isn't a sign you're broken, but a signal you're ready for something deeper? In this episode, Andrew Anderson, a transformational coach for high-achieving business leaders, shares his remarkable journey from elementary school playground helper to teaching career to becoming the guide that successful entrepreneurs call when they have "problems money can't solve." Through two pivotal relationships, Xavier, a Belgian mentor he met at 19 who still coaches him 21 years later, and Kevin Hall (former VP of Franklin Covey), who saw potential in him during his darkest season.  Andrew discovered how to help others move from survival to thriving, from playing defense to playing offense with their lives. From reconnecting with Xavier during his friend's divorce and flipping their mentor-mentee dynamic, to standing in the Virgin River at Zion National Park receiving divine inspiration to write a book that would later save a man's life, Andrew reveals how the right relationships at the right time don't just change your business trajectory but reshape your entire identity and calling. His approach cuts through years of traditional therapy in hours, helping clients rewire neural pathways and reconnect with who they truly are beneath the pain. Andrew reflects on honoring the versions of ourselves that went through hard things, why most people are playing not to lose instead of playing to win, and how a single conversation can absolutely change the trajectory of a career, relationship, or life.   [00:04:42] What Andrew Does: Solving Problems Money Can't Solve Shows up in three or four important roles each day First as a son of God Husband supporting wife who homeschools and does foot zoning Father to seven children [00:07:25] The Origin Story: Fourth Grade Playground Met Lap, a Vietnamese student who spoke zero English Became his playground buddy through the universal language of play Lap helped Andrew with math; Andrew helped him with sports First recognition of unique ability to see needs and show up for individuals [00:10:50] The Unique Ability Discovery References Dan Sullivan's Strategic Coach concept Like Marcus Colius told Kevin: "This is the Holy Spirit working through you" Unique abilities reveal themselves through stewardship, not searching [00:16:06] The Transition: From Teaching to Coaching Six years as a classroom teacher Went through separation and divorce that felt like life was over Lost career, marriage, and family simultaneously Left teaching, sold real estate for one year, then started coaching agents [00:20:00] Client Success Story: "Jared" Nearly million-dollar business but struggling with drug addiction, porn addiction Couldn't have children for several years, had hard time keeping money Worked at deep unconscious level to find root causes of self-sabotage Process took hours, not years - created new neural pathways [00:24:33] Playing Offense vs. Defense Andrew's 76-year-old dad's wisdom: "Play to win, don't play not to lose" Most people in life are playing defense, trying to get out of pain First day and a half with clients: playing defense but with love, not resistance [00:27:37] Xavier: The 21-Year Friendship Met in Belgium when Andrew was 19, Xavier was 28-29 Still FaceTimes to this day after 21 years Has visited Andrew's home three times, supports his retreats Andrew's best friend and coach for deepest heart and soul questions [00:29:26] Kevin Hall: The Professional Catalyst Met summer 2015 during Andrew's transition period Former VP of Sales at Franklin Covey, worked with Stephen Covey Author of "Aspire" teaching 10 powerful words Saw something in 29-year-old Andrew during training event Took Andrew under his wing in group coaching [00:32:04] The Book That Saved a Life Standing in Virgin River at Zion National Park at Kevin Hall's event God said: "You're gonna write a book" Title: "Strength of the Oak, Strength of the Willow" Two things keeping him from suicide: the Bible and Andrew's book   KEY QUOTES "Single conversation is guaranteed to change the trajectory of a career, a relationship, or a life. Any single conversation absolutely can." - Andrew Anderson (quoting Susan Scott) "You need to honor and respect that version of you because you would not be doing what you're doing and helping who you're helping or anything without having gone through that experience." - Xavier (to Andrew) "You gotta play to win. Don't play not to lose." - Andrew's 76-year-old dad "It's really hard to move forward while you're looking back." - Andrew Anderson "If you want to find yourself, you're gonna have to lose yourself. And if you're looking for happiness, the best way to find it is to give and do it unconditionally." - Andrew Anderson (referencing Jesus) CONNECT WITH ANDREW ANDERSON

I am removing the superfluous buns. In a world where one man has only seen 30 or so movies comes a desire to learn from a master. A master of film. A master of cinema. A master who has led such a sad life.  Logan seeks the knowledge and he turns to his own personal “Yoda”; Keithie. Join Logan & Keithie on a wild adventure to discover as we watch along with a new movie each episode in THE MOVIE EDUCATION OF LOGAN CROSLAND. This episode, Logan, Keithie & Tim (who shows up on "Tim Time") honor the late great Diane Keaton this month with Logan's personal pick; Father of the Bride Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kiernan Culkin (before all the awards) & Martin Short join the debuting Kimberly Williams-Paisley (who was not getting to married to Brad in this movie) for a horror movie of Steve Martin's kind, spending his money. The boys discuss the neighborhoods of Los Angeles, movies of the writer/director combo here and other things that go along the way.  When it comes to cakes, weddings & swans; "Velcome to the nineties, Mr. Bonk!"

In this episode of Extraordinary Living, we continue our seriers on Writing The Vision.  Bill Gruhlkey explains the transformative concept that God has already provided everything needed for life and godliness. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and claiming these promises through spiritual authority. Bill uses scriptural references from 2 Peter 1:3 and Ephesians 1:3 to highlight that believers already have God's blessings and need to act in faith to realize them. He also shares a touching story of the prodigal son to illustrate the Father's unconditional love and acceptance and encourages listeners to write down their visions and believe in God's plan for their lives. The episode concludes with an invitation to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and partner with the ministry.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Introduction: Understanding God's Blessings 00:26 Welcome to Extraordinary Living 01:37 The Power of Spiritual Authority 03:23 Healing Through Faith 05:23 The Role of Knowledge in Faith 06:36 The Example of the Denali 15:54 The Father's Love and the Prodigal Son 25:44 Invitation to Accept Jesus 26:59 Partnering with the Ministry 28:29 Conclusion and Resources     Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Send us a textThe main idea that drives the Apostle John's first letter  is fellowship with God. He makes this clear when he starts his letter. "What we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that you may also have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:3 He then addresses the need for knowing the truth about God as light and the truth about our sin as a necessity for true fellowship to exist. He presents 3 false ideas that some have. If we assert the believes that sin is a non entity or that humans do not have a sinful nature or that we have not actually sinned we are not speaking according to truth. We lie about the reality of sin and human nature and actually call God himself a liar!With repentance that is a change in our mind about our sin and God the holy righteous One who has acted on our behalf we can know fellowship with God through Jesus atoning death. John presents Jesus work as the corrective for these false beliefs.  " If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. v9 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. v7John is a realist and says, My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1 John 2:2At the letter's conclusion John writes, I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13Bible Insights with Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

LESSON 322I Can Give Up But What Was Never Real.I sacrifice illusions; nothing more. And as illusions go I find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome, and in readiness to give God's ancient messages to me. His memory abides in every gift that I receive of Him. And every dream serves only to conceal the Self Which is God's only Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One Who still abides in Him forever, as He still abides in me.Father, to You all sacrifice remains forever inconceivable. And so I cannot sacrifice except in dreams. As You created me, I can give up nothing You gave me. What You did not give has no reality. What loss can I anticipate except the loss of fear, and the return of love into my mind?- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Tuesday, 18 November 2025   When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.” Matthew 14:15   “And evening having come, they came to Him, His disciples, saying, ‘Desolate, it is, this place, and the hour, it passed already. You dismiss the crowds that, having departed into the villages, they should buy themselves food'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus is said to have been moved with compassion for the multitudes and healed their sick. Next, after a day's labor, it says, “And evening having come.”   To understand the timing and the same term being used again in verse 23, referring to the other gospels will help –   “When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him...” Mark 6:35 “When the day began to wear away...” Luke 9:12   John's gospel does not refer to the time of day but the time of the year, saying, “Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near” John 6:4. This, however, adds its own issue. Passover is around March each year. The days are shorter, between 11 and 12 hours, and the setting of the sun is therefore earlier than later in the summer months, which extend to about 14 hours.   Matthew's note indicates the amount of time already spent with the people, “the day was far spent.” Luke's note indicates the afternoon hours leading to the setting sun, a time known in the law as ben ha'arbayim, “between the evenings.” It is the time of the evening sacrifice, which would be around 3 pm. There is the evening of the day when the sun begins to decline and the evening of the light when the day transitions into night.   Thus, this is at an hour when the day is in decline, and the people had already been there for quite some time. As the day is waning, there is an obvious problem. Therefore, “they came to Him, His disciples.”   The disciples see that there is a need, and they must think Jesus is unaware of it, as if He weren't paying attention to the situation. As such, these disciples address Him, “saying, ‘Desolate, it is, this place.'”   The word desolate is in the emphatic position. They are essentially saying, “We are in the middle of nowhere. There is no gas station, 7-11, or even a watermelon stand. But all these people...!” And more, they say, “and the hour, it passed already.”   There are various possibilities for what this might mean –   The hour for the people to get home before dark. The hour of the afternoon sacrifice, which is 3pm. The normal time Jesus would dismiss crowds so they could get home. The hour for women to start preparing food. Etc.   Whatever the intent, it was something understood by Jesus, and it indicated that time was getting on while the people were still there in this remote location. Therefore, they say, “You dismiss the crowds.”   One can sense the urgency in their voice. They had crossed the sea. By the time they arrived, the people were already there to meet them, meaning they would have had to exert a lot of effort to do so. Jesus immediately had compassion on them and began healing the sick.   Eventually, Jesus and the disciples went aside privately (Luke 9:10 & John 6:3). However, the people remained in the area. Therefore, He needed to dismiss them with alacrity. And so they continue, saying, “that having departed into the villages, they should buy themselves food.”   The word bróma, food, is introduced. It speaks of that which is eaten as indicated by the verb form, bibróskó, found in John 6:13. The disciples have clearly set the stage for the events ahead by emphatically noting the desolateness of the location. Along with that is the timing of the day. Either the people will need to be immediately dismissed, or the time ahead will be one of great difficulty for them. There is, however, one other option the disciples are unaware of.   Life application: There are times in life where events lead us to the brink of seeming disaster. Suddenly, and from unexpected means, an abundance is realized. Was it chance, luck, the clicking of cosmic tumblers, or the divine hand of God tending to us after allowing us to go through a time of testing?   To what or who do we ascribe the credit for tending to our needs, even basic daily needs, but also those that are sudden and totally out of the normal? If we are wise, we will always credit that which we have or that which we receive to the gracious hand of God.   If we earn money, it is because He fashioned us to do so. He gave us the physical or mental ability to earn what we have. He gave us the time and place in which we live in order to prosper. And so, if that ends, we should accept it as His decision and live within the new confines He has dealt us with contentment and gratitude. In all things and in all ways, we should acknowledge God's sovereignty and thank Him for that which we possess.   Glorious heavenly Father, thank You for the lives You have given us. You have wisely chosen our place and time of life, the abilities we possess, and the circumstances in which we find ourselves. As this is true, through good and through trials, we acknowledge Your wisdom and thank You for Your guiding hand in our lives. Amen.

David V. Revay, an AMPP-certified professional and founder of Revay Coating Consultants, Inc. in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, recently introduced “The Paint Father” as an innovative YouTube and TikTok video channel. After 13 years of consulting and inspections work, as well as serving as an expert witness for many coatings-related legal cases, the 36-year-old now hopes to inspire and equip the next generation of inspectors. In this interview, Revay speaks with CoatingsPro Magazine regarding his unique career journey; industry trends; and his goals for the future. Revay contends that a five-day CIP Level 1 (AMPP's Coating Inspector Program) certification course in January 2012 changed the trajectory of his life and led to him finding a deep passion for this line of work. Through these platforms, he hopes to make a similarly quick impact on today's young minds.

Send us a textJesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18We exist to help people become fully engaged followers of Jesus.A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: “See that you don't tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.” Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere. Mark 1:40-45Jesus was indignant.

Mark 1:45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark 10:45But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong. When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile believers, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn't eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision. As a result, other Jewish believers followed Peter's hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. Galatians 2:11-13 NLT1. Familiarity Breeds Comfort.2. Fear keeps us captive.3.

Father Anthony with Tony and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father makes the shift to the podcast after just celebrating a funeral this morning.  Talking about funerals, as they were in the past, leads them to step back in time and chat about how things were in the past while acknowledging that even then God was demanding.  Father Anthony points out that the greatest threat to us, the church, and the future of our humanity is our unwillingness to embrace the discipline of our faith.  He calls us to be humble and accept our cross and carry it as we honor the Commandments.

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
