    Hey, Heal Squad! Buckle up because we are back with one of my all-time favorite guests, the brilliant Dr Joe Dispenza! In Part 1, Dr Joe breaks down how our thoughts and emotions literally shape our reality. He explains how the hormones of stress become addictive, why anxiety can dissolve in just days of doing the work, and the science of catching yourself before you slip back into old patterns. Maria also opens up about her own breakthroughs with Dr Joe's teachings, including how she learned to shift her energy field from negative to positive potentials. Together, they explore how to take your power back, rewire your brain and body, and step into a future created by love instead of fear. It's vulnerable, it's exciting, and it's proof that we are the creators of our lives (even when that feels impossible to believe). And this is just the beginning… tune in & come back tomorrow for Part 2! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Your thoughts can make you sick. When you constantly imagine worst-case scenarios, your body turns on the stress response as if it's real, and over time, that imbalance creates disease. Anxiety is not permanent. Dr Joe's research shows that in as little as three days of doing the work, the brain can reset and anxiety can dissolve. The present moment is medicine. Each time you catch your mind drifting into fear and bring it back to now, you reclaim your energy and open the door to healing.

    Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they spotlight three major media stories—from CBS changing its interview editing policy, to reporters downplaying violent crime for political reasons, to a bizarre demand from a disgraced Boston politician.First, they welcome a new CBS News practice to allow interviews to air unedited on Face the Nation after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ripped CBS for gutting her answers in a recent appearance. Jim and Greg also note that mainstream media editing controversies always seem to benefit the left.Next, they scold Marc Caputo of Axios for fretting about "MAGA influencers drawing repeated attention  to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases." It's all connected to the mainstream media's silence over the grisly, unnecessary murder of a female Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte by a guy who had been arrested many times for violent crimes. Is the biggest problem calling attention to the murder...or is it maybe the murder itself?Finally, Jim and Greg are stunned by a former member of the Boston City Council who was sentenced to prison for fraud. It's not even the crimes that surprise them but the member's insistence that media stop talking about her and her crimes because she is an introvert and it hurts her feelings.Please visit our great sponsors:Support your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Find the right support that's right for you with BetterHelp.

    E1005 Uniformed and Undiagnosed: High-Functioning Mental Health Struggles in First Responders

    Tactical Living

    This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, takes a candid look at the hidden mental health battles many first responders fight (Amazon Affiliate) while appearing perfectly fine on the outside. The discipline, structure, and professionalism that make them effective in the field often double as masks—concealing anxiety, depression, trauma, or burnout from colleagues, family, and even themselves. Defining “High-Functioning” Struggles: How success and competence can hide serious internal distress. The difference between coping and truly healing. Why First Responders Mask Symptoms: Cultural pressure to appear unshakable. Fear of stigma, career repercussions, or losing trust. The Role of Routine in Concealment: How structure and discipline can maintain outward stability. Why routines can become a crutch instead of a lifeline. The Cumulative Toll of Silent Struggles: The long-term health risks of untreated anxiety, depression, or trauma. The emotional cost on family relationships and personal well-being. The Danger of Self-Deception: How “I'm fine” becomes a habit, even to oneself. Why high-functioning doesn't mean healthy functioning. Strategies to Recognize and Address the Issue: Normalize Conversations Around Mental Health: Peer leaders and supervisors openly sharing their own experiences. Look for Micro-Signs in Yourself and Others: Changes in sleep, irritability, withdrawal, or overworking. Encourage Early Check-Ins, Not Crisis Interventions: Making mental health maintenance as routine as physical training. Use Trusted, Confidential Resources: Peer support, vetted therapists, or off-the-record consultations. Reframe Help-Seeking as Tactical Strength: Position mental wellness as part of operational readiness. This episode is a reminder that a polished uniform and a strong performance in the field don't always mean someone is okay—and that the bravest thing a responder can do might be to take off the mask.

    How Our View of God Impacts Our Stewardship with Taylor Standridge

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 8, 2025 24:57


    Billy Graham once said, “Tell me what you think about money, and I will tell you what you think about God, for these two are closely related.”In Jesus' Parable of the Talents, we see that stewardship isn't just about money—it's about how we view God. Today, Taylor Standridge joins me to explore how our image of God influences the way we give, spend, and live.Taylor Standridge is the Production Manager here at Faith and Finance, co-author of Look at the Sparrows, our 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety, and a frequent contributor to our quarterly magazine, Faithful Steward, as well as other FaithFi studies and devotionals.Our View of God Shapes EverythingA.W. Tozer once wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” This truth has enormous implications for stewardship. How we see God determines how we handle what He has entrusted to us.If we see Him as generous, trustworthy, and sovereign, we will hold our resources with open hands and joyful hearts, confident that He is both our provider and our treasure. But if we see Him as distant, demanding, or indifferent, we may fall into reluctant giving, fearful hoarding, or selfish spending.Stewardship is far more than budgets and giving—it is about trust, worship, and living in light of who we believe God to be. A distorted view of God is like setting sail with the wrong coordinates: you may move with confidence, but you'll end up in the wrong place.Lessons from the Parable of the TalentsIn Matthew 25, the tragedy of the third servant wasn't his lack of ability—it was his lack of trust. Believing his master to be a “hard man,” he buried what was given to him. His fear led to inaction.This parable isn't only about money. The “talents” represent everything God entrusts to us—time, relationships, opportunities, gifts, and resources. Faithful stewardship flows not from skill, but from trust. The first two servants stepped out boldly because they trusted their master's character. Their faith led to joy, not judgment: “Enter into the joy of your master.”The deeper warning is this: when we misjudge God's heart, we hold back. When we trust His goodness, we invest boldly for His Kingdom.Obedience as God's GiftMany believers think of obedience as something they give to God. But Scripture reminds us that even obedience is a gift of grace. “It is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose” (Phil. 2:13). He not only prepares good works for us (Eph. 2:10)—He empowers us to walk in them.This truth transforms stewardship from a burden into a blessing. We're not managing resources to prove ourselves; we're participating in the good works God has already prepared. Stewardship becomes a relational act of grace, not a transactional duty.The Sobering Warning—and the Joyful InvitationIn Matthew 7, Jesus warns that some will say, “Lord, Lord,” but hear Him reply, “I never knew you.” The issue wasn't activity—it was relationship. Faithful stewardship begins with knowing God as gracious, faithful, and abundantly generous.If you feel stuck or fearful—like the third servant—remember this: God isn't waiting to punish you. He invites you to trust Him. Start small. Ask Him to reshape your view, to see Him not as a harsh master, but as a loving Father.As 2 Timothy 1:7 declares, “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” When we live from that truth, stewardship becomes delight, not duty. We don't just manage money; we step into joy, walking with the One who is our ultimate treasure.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm a retired senior and recently heard about the new $6,000 tax break.

Darkness can be... the void that births all of creationwhere things grow in the womb and in the soilwhere our roots grow down deepwhere we connect with our inner world and the invisible growth and transformations that matter just as much as, if not more than, what our culture obsesses over in terms of upward, measurable growthTune in to hear more about the Mirror of Mabon to release the fear of darkness and receive its blessings.**I made you a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE companion guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for this episode!

    Are You a Part of What God Is Doing in Our Country Today? Do You Seek God's Presence in Your Life? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Can you tell what God is up to in the World, in our time, in our church, and in America? Are you a part of what God is doing in the world today, or are you just reacting to what God is doing, thereby, creating conflict and division? Psalms 105 reminds you of God's power in the world if you do seek His presence in your life: “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered.". On the other hand, Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, warns you of the implications for not including the presence of Jesus in your worldly considerations: “They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.”. While the Lord is leading, and directing, it seems that we are wrapped up in our agenda and our way of doing things; therefore, we miss God's presence; and we miss the Holy Spirit in our lives.    TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Fear. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Faithfulness. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 5:6; Matthew 5:10; Psalms 112:1-6; Psalms 119b:13-24.

    How to Trade Stocks and Options Podcast by 10minutestocktrader.com

    Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.The market is always testing traders, and this session shows exactly how to cut through the noise with data-driven strategies. We dive into why you can't take every signal that flashes across your screen, how to filter down to the highest-probability trades, and why expectancy matters more than chasing frequency. You'll see how backtesting reveals the real math behind trading edge and how a disciplined approach can lead to “Masters of the Universe” returns.This breakdown highlights the importance of capital efficiency and position sizing. Instead of trying to juggle 20 or more trades per day, we focus on what happens when you narrow the field to the top three signals. The results are clear: expectancy improves, win rates stabilize, and your account avoids the burnout of overtrading. That shift from quantity to quality makes all the difference for long-term success.We also explore how OVTLYR's tools help simplify the chaos. By digging into performance summaries, signal returns, and the Fear & Greed Heatmap, traders can see exactly when to press their advantage and when to step aside. The heatmap shows why you want the market pushing toward greed, not pulling back from it. When SPY's score drops below 70, win rates collapse, and the smart move is to sit in cash and protect your capital.This session takes you behind the scenes with real examples. You'll see backtest data showing how expectancy jumps from under 1% to over 3% with selective trade filtering. We also talk about the impact of market events like DeepSeek, which rippled through stocks and exposed why proper risk management is essential. Expectancy versus outcome is unpacked in detail, making it easy to see how math drives outcomes when you stick to a structured plan.On top of the strategy, this livestream celebrates the OVTLYR community with shoutouts and real trader wins. You'll hear how members improved by mastering position sizing, overcoming mental blocks, and rolling trades correctly to lock in gains. Plus, we showcase winners from the weekly circle and give away exclusive OVTLYR merch, adding some fun to the serious business of trading.This isn't polished highlight-reel content—it's raw, real, and focused on teaching the habits that actually work. If you've been frustrated by taking too many trades, confused by conflicting signals, or uncertain about when to step aside, this breakdown gives you clarity. The lessons here prove that trading is not about predicting headlines but about stacking edge, following rules, and letting math guide your moves.➡️ Why filtering to the top three trades boosts expectancy➡️ How to use OVTLYR's Fear & Greed Heatmap for better timing➡️ Why capital efficiency matters more than trade count➡️ The math behind expectancy vs. outcome explained➡️ Real examples of wins, losses, and adjustments from backtesting➡️ Why sitting in cash is sometimes the smartest trade➡️ Community wins and lessons every trader can learn fromWatch until the end for key takeaways on discipline, expectancy, and how OVTLYR's structured approach helps traders cut through distractions, stick to their plan, and maximize every opportunity.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Listen for the biblical roots of Pentecost—from Babel to the Upper Room—and why the Church calls it her birthday. Deacon Dan shares his vocation story, the role his wife played in discernment, and how sacramental grace enables what we can't do alone.

    Pastor Christy Cass As we close the Made to Garden series, this message reminds us that fear doesn't have to drive us into hiding. From Genesis 3, we see the first humans cover themselves with fig leaves and hide when shame and fear entered the story. Yet God's response wasn't condemnation—it was an invitation: “Where are you?” Supporting Scriptures: Genesis 3:1–10, Proverbs 8:13, 2 Timothy 1:7, John 3:20, 1 Corinthians 10:13 Big Idea: God doesn't yell from the fence line—He walks into the garden. He comes close. The invitation is to step out of hiding, trade fear for trust, and walk with Him in the open. Key Themes & Takeaways: There are two fears in the garden: Fear that hides from God (shame, paralysis, people-pleasing). Fear of the Lord (holy awe that leads to trust and obedience). Alignment with God happens in head (truth), heart (desires), and hands (obedience). Obedience is our “yes.” Outcomes are His responsibility. Practical Steps to Live Fearless: Generosity & Hospitality → move from closed hands to open tables. Courageous Witness → everyday invitations, bold in love. Peacemaking → have hard conversations with truth and grace. Creativity & Resilience → choose fresh hope over cynicism. Community & Correction → walk together, not in isolation. Work & Integrity → live honest and excellent before God and others.

    Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005) pushed the boundaries of storytelling. While the writer is most recognized for the genre-bending work Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1972), in Understanding Hunter S. Thompson (University of South Carolina Press, 2025), Kevin J. Hayes provides a broad and nuanced analysis of Thompson's multifaceted career and unique literary voice. Following a biographical introduction, Hayes examines the different roles Thompson played throughout his literary career, resulting in a view of his work unlike any previously published biographical or critical study. The ensuing chapters analyze Thompson's work in his capacities as a foreign correspondent, literary critic, New Journalist, gonzo journalist, campaign writer, anthologist, letter writer, and novelist. Hayes draws on previously unrecorded articles, correspondence, and interviews to inform his insightful analysis. Written in an engaging and propulsive style, Understanding Hunter S. Thompson is essential reading for scholars and fans. Kevin J. Hayes is professor emeritus of English, University of Central Oklahoma. Caleb Zakarin is editor of the New Books Network.

    In the final week of our Name Your Shark series, Pastor Curt Taylor explores the dangerous lies we often believe in the quiet corners of our hearts—lies about our worth, identity, and control. Looking at Jesus' temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11), we see how the enemy uses fear to tempt us into shortcuts that pull us away from God's plan. Like Jesus, we can overcome by naming the lie, replacing it with God's Word, and believing His truth is real. The cross proves every one of Satan's lies wrong, reminding us that we are not what we have, what others think, or what we control. We are who God says we are, and His truth sets us free.

    Pastor Christian's message, Lord of My (Our) Fears, reminds us that while fear is normal—whether it's fear of failure, rejection, the unknown, or not being enough—it cannot be allowed to paralyze us. Using Jeremiah's call and the boldness of the early disciples as examples, he showed that God delights in using ordinary, even unqualified people who choose to trust Him despite their fears. The call is to surrender our fears to the Lord, stop retreating to the “ships” we keep as escape routes, and instead pray for boldness, move forward in faith, and let Jesus truly be Lord over our fears.

    Hope for Hard Days ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | September 7, 2025 Esther Series, Part 9: Esther 9, 10 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY In the final episode of the Esther series, Michael Shockley explores how God works through our worst days to bring about His greatest victories. Through the creative story of Hayden and Morty (paralleling Haman and Mordecai), discover how what appears to be a day of destruction becomes a day of deliverance for God's people. As Esther chapters 9-10 unfold, watch the ironic reversal where the enemies of the Jews are defeated, leading to the establishment of the holiday Purim. From the cafeteria catastrophe to the Persian Empire's transformation, learn how God's unseen hand can flip any story - even turning the worst day in history (the Crucifixion) into humanity's brightest hope. This message reminds us that God doesn't cause our worst days, but He absolutely redeems them. Core Message: God works through our worst days. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Hayden and Morty Story Introduction - Creative allegory of middle school cafeteria drama - Hayden's quest for revenge against his spelling bee nemesis Morty - The setup for disaster with gravy, creamed asparagus, and chocolate milk - Parallel to the Haman and Mordecai conflict in the Book of Esther - Cliffhanger moment showing how quickly situations can change The Historical Context of Esther 9-10 - Recap of the escalated grudge that led to genocidal decree - Haman's plot against the Jews and his subsequent downfall - The irreversible nature of Persian law requiring a counter-decree - Nine months between the plot's discovery and the day of execution - The choice given to potential attackers to change sides The Day of Reversal (Esther 9:1-5) - The 13th of Adar: from planned destruction to actual deliverance - "The opposite occurred" - complete reversal of expectations - Fear of Mordecai and the Jews falling upon their enemies - Government officials helping the Jews due to Mordecai's prominence - The Jews defeating their enemies throughout the 127 provinces The Spiritual Parallel to God's Law - The Law of Righteousness exposing all people as condemned - God's refusal to lower His standards of perfection - The Law of Grace through faith in Jesus as the "second decree" - Substitution: Jesus taking our punishment on the Cross - Imputation: Christ's righteousness credited to our account The Battle Results and Aftermath - 500 enemies killed in the capital city of Shushan - 75,000 total defeated throughout the Persian Empire - The death of Haman's ten sons (grown men who supported the decree) - The Jews refusing to take spoils - focused on defense, not wealth - Two days of battle followed by peace and celebration The Establishment of Purim - Mordecai's letters establishing an annual holiday - The 14th and 15th of Adar becoming days of celebration - Feasting, joy, gift-giving to family and the needy - The meaning of "Purim" - referring to the lots (Pur) Haman cast - God directing even the roll of dice to accomplish His purposes The Unseen Hand of God - God's fingerprints everywhere despite His name never being mentioned - From orphan and intended victim to champions of peace - The transformation of superstition into recognition of divine favor - How apparent coincidences reveal providence in hindsight The Conclusion of Hayden and Morty - The backpack tear held together by failing duct tape - The pencil on the floor causing Hayden's spectacular fall - The complete reversal: Hayden covered in food, Morty triumphant - "You got served" - divine justice with a sense of humor - From cafeteria catastrophe to unexpected hero status God's Redemption of Our Worst Days - How God doesn't cause our worst days but redeems them - The parallel between Esther's story and the Cross - Turning the day of Crucifixion into humanity's brightest hope - Personal application for loss, failure, betrayal, and current struggles - The invitation to trust Jesus with all we dread ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "God works through our worst days." "The Unseen Hand of God turned the day of destruction into the day of deliverance." "He is our Substitute when it comes to the punishment, and His Righteousness is Imputed to us. Which is to say, He suffered through the test, and we got the passing grade." "Even the naming of the holiday shows that God directed even the roll of the dice to choose the day." "God's Name is never spoken, but God's fingerprints are everywhere." "God never wastes our pain. He doesn't cause our worst days, but He redeems them." "If God could turn the horrible day of Crucifixion into the brightest hope in history, He can redeem your story, too." "You got served." (Lunch Lady Loretta) "Got milk?" (Morty) ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Esther 9:1-5, Chapters 9-10 complete - Key Theme: Divine reversal and redemption through apparent defeat - Historical Context: The 13th of Adar and the establishment of Purim - Theological Concepts: Substitution and imputation through Christ - Gospel Connection: How God redeems our worst days through the Cross - Literary Note: God's providence shown without direct divine mentions ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're Experiencing Your Worst Day Right Now: - Remember that God specializes in flipping stories and reversing outcomes - Trust that what feels like destruction may be setting up deliverance - Know that God's unseen hand is working even when you can't see it - Understand that apparent coincidences often reveal divine providence If You're Dealing with Past Failures and Regrets: - Recognize that God doesn't waste pain but redeems it for purpose - Remember that your worst moments don't define your final story - Trust that the same God who redeemed the Cross can redeem your past - Allow time and perspective to reveal how God was working all along If You Feel Condemned by Your Imperfections: - Understand that God's law reveals our need, not our hopelessness - Know that perfection is required, but Christ provides it for us - Trust in substitution: Jesus took your punishment on the Cross - Believe in imputation: Christ's righteousness is credited to your account If You're Waiting for Justice: - Remember that God's timing often involves longer processes than we expect - Trust that divine justice is more complete than human revenge - Know that God can turn your enemies' attacks into your strengthening - Understand that true victory often looks different than expected If You Haven't Trusted Jesus Yet: - Consider how the Cross transformed history's worst day into its best news - Understand that salvation comes through faith, not perfect performance - Know that God can flip your story no matter how bad it seems - Trust Jesus with all you dread and receive His redemption today ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION Maybe you're living through what feels like your worst day. Loss, failure, betrayal, diagnosis, job loss, or consequences from past mistakes. Perhaps you feel like Morty, about to be destroyed by forces beyond your control. Or maybe you feel like Hayden, watching your carefully laid plans collapse in spectacular failure. The good news of Esther - and the even greater news of the Gospel - is that God works through our worst days. He doesn't cause them, but He redeems them. The same God who turned a day of destruction into deliverance for the Jews, who turned the horror of Crucifixion into the hope of salvation, can flip your story too. Trust Him with all you dread. Trust Jesus for salvation. Your worst day may be setting up God's greatest work in your life. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- What worst day in your life needs God's redemptive touch? Are you trusting in your own ability to fix things, or surrendering to the God who specializes in impossible reversals? God works through our worst days - let Him work through yours.

    We're blessed to hear from our Lead Pastor, Jeff Ellis, this morning as he brings us a message about where true peace and courage are found despite the fear and worry that surround us. Life is filled with reasons to feel anxious - whether it's uncertainty about the future, financial struggles, health challenges, or the storms we never see coming. In this message from Psalm 27, we see how King David faced overwhelming fear yet discovered unshakable confidence by focusing on God's presence, power, and promises. This message invites us to shift our eyes from worry to faith, teaching us how to wait on the Lord with courage, trust Him in the middle of the storm, and experience His goodness even now in the land of the living. #WalloonChurch #Fear #Faith #Jesus

    Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005) pushed the boundaries of storytelling. While the writer is most recognized for the genre-bending work Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1972), in Understanding Hunter S. Thompson (University of South Carolina Press, 2025), Kevin J. Hayes provides a broad and nuanced analysis of Thompson's multifaceted career and unique literary voice. Following a biographical introduction, Hayes examines the different roles Thompson played throughout his literary career, resulting in a view of his work unlike any previously published biographical or critical study. The ensuing chapters analyze Thompson's work in his capacities as a foreign correspondent, literary critic, New Journalist, gonzo journalist, campaign writer, anthologist, letter writer, and novelist. Hayes draws on previously unrecorded articles, correspondence, and interviews to inform his insightful analysis. Written in an engaging and propulsive style, Understanding Hunter S. Thompson is essential reading for scholars and fans. Kevin J. Hayes is professor emeritus of English, University of Central Oklahoma. Caleb Zakarin is editor of the New Books Network.
