You're listening to a men's self-help podcast so it's safe to assume that you're interested in becoming more disciplined, structured, and productive. But there is a side of discipline that many of the self-help gurus won't talk to you about – when discipline becomes a liability more than an asset. My guest today, Craig Ballantyne, joins me to talk about what that even means, what it looks like, and what to do about it. We also cover why it's so important that you plan your days out months in advance, how to keep yourself from distractions but building in flexibility to your day, how much a man can get done in what he calls, "slivers of time," and why you should never paint yourself into a box you don't belong. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - Introduction 01:12 - Discipline and rigidity: the downside of structure 03:30 - Parenthood, resilience, and slivers of time 07:30 - The balance between discipline and flexibility 10:00 - Craig's life in Mexico and bilingual family life 14:30 - Managing distractions and time boundaries 17:30 - The true cost of meetings and decision-focused teams 21:00 - Structuring family and bedtime routines 25:00 - Delegation, priorities, and focusing on purpose 28:00 - Fear of delegation and how to fill your reclaimed time 30:00 - Deep work, planning, and monthly focus blocks 35:00 - Combating boredom and sustaining focus 37:00 - The myth of "always enjoying the grind" 41:00 - Planning the next month and long-term thinking 46:00 - Changing self-talk and removing limiting language 49:00 - Childhood patterns and self-imposed boxes 51:00 - Overcoming introversion and building social confidence 55:00 - Selflessness, service, and growth through discomfort 56:00 - Craig's books and where to connect Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

What if the creature stalking the swamps of Florida isn't flesh and blood at all? In this chilling sit-down, Tony and Stacy Brown Jr. retrace the night his father captured one of the most compelling Bigfoot videos ever filmed, and the haunting encounters that followed. Driven to prove the truth of what he's seen, Stacy reveals his new docu-series, Bigfoot: The Journey to Belief; a quest to turn skeptics into believers. As they unravel stories of unseen watchers, eerie lights, and strange voices in the dark, a question emerges: are these beings beasts of the wild, or something far more supernatural? Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

When police arrested Bryan Kohberger — the criminology Ph.D. student accused of murdering four University of Idaho students — they found a single book with underlining on page 118. Months later, reporting from the Idaho Statesman revealed that book was Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers — a self-help classic about conquering fear through action. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into what that detail really means. Was Kohberger simply reading a popular motivational book? Or was he absorbing a philosophy that, in his hands, took on something much darker? Tony breaks down how Jeffers' message — “The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it” — could have resonated with Kohberger's obsessive need for control and dominance. Through psychological analysis and factual reporting, this episode explores how self-help principles can be warped by pathological minds — transforming courage into justification, empowerment into entitlement, and action into violence. We examine the context of the discovery, Kohberger's academic writings about “emotions and criminal decision-making,” and his disturbing fascination with overcoming hesitation. The result is a chilling portrait of a man who may have misread a book about personal growth as a guide to fearlessness at any cost. It's not about blame. It's about understanding how ordinary ideas can become extraordinary distortions inside extraordinary minds.

SUBSCRIBE HEREFear of being seen keeps many entrepreneurs from stepping into their potential, and imposter syndrome often has less to do with confidence than with how the nervous system reacts to visibility. In this episode, Lindsay Pinchuk talks with therapist and visibility coach Anna Holtzman about what's really happening beneath the surface when we hesitate to show up. Why does sharing your work online or talking about your business feel so uncomfortable? And how can you train your body to see visibility as safe instead of threatening?Anna shares how the fear of being seen is often a protective response, not a personal flaw, and how learning to recognize that can shift the way you approach your work. She explains her method of “graded exposure” (taking small, consistent steps toward being visible) as a way to build trust in yourself and lessen the grip of imposter syndrome over time.This conversation feels like a gentle permission slip for anyone who's tired of pretending to be confident. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of what it means to show up authentically and a few ways to make visibility feel less like a performance and more like self-trust in action.Episode Breakdown:00:00 The Fear of Visibility12:03 Navigating Career Transitions24:07 Overcoming Visibility Challenges26:52 Building Comfort in Visibility30:46 The Power of One-on-One Coaching31:52 Authenticity in Consistency35:01 Navigating Negative Feedback39:05 Personalized Coaching Experiences45:35 Actionable Steps to Increase VisibilityLinks:Follow Anna on InstagramRegister for Anna's FREE Let Yourself Be Seen WorkshopCheck Lindsay out on Anna's Podcast!Subscribe to The FoundHer FilesGet Tickets for Dear FoundHer.. on TourThis Week's FoundHer Faves:Pistola Cassie PantsDudley StephensParenting on MarsAviva AppThe Law Office of Erin M.

Hey sis, here is hope. You can turn your worries and your wishes into your true realities, and you can surely find freedom from the debilitating disease of an eating disorder and disordered eating. In this powerful episode, host Lindsey Nichol speaks truth directly to your heart, spirit, and mind. If you're stuck in the same place year after year - same worries, same wishes, same Thanksgiving anxiety, same holiday struggles - this is your wake-up call. Lindsey reveals why your worries and anxieties can actually HELP you move forward (or keep you stuck in the safe zone), and why your wishes and dreams must become greater than your fears. She introduces her 3-step battle plan for turning wishes into reality: align with your biggest challenge, align with your greatest dream, and study your enemy - that nagging voice keeping you in the cycle. This isn't just another motivational episode. This is a strategic battle plan for warriors ready to stop wishing and start living. Because girlfriend, warriors don't go into battle without a shield, a sword, or a plan. And you're not meant to go alone. If you've been waiting for the "magic pill" to create peace in your life, this episode will show you that YOU have the power to transform everything - starting right now. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why Worries Can Help You (Or Keep You Stuck) Your worries and anxieties can nudge you toward the future you're dreaming of They can propel you forward on your journey to freedom But they can also keep you stuck in the safe zone if you do nothing about them The difference between productive worry and paralyzing worry Why Wishes Aren't Enough Wishes and dreams are great, but they can keep you stuck too Without action, wishes remain fantasies year after year Life is hard, especially with an eating disorder - but wishes alone won't change that Your wishes must become greater than your worries to create real change The Biggest Challenges Women Face in Recovery When Lindsey asks her one-on-one clients "What is your biggest challenge?" she hears: Fear of weight gain Recovery feels totally impossible "I want to eat the way I should, yet I don't" Anxiety around food Over-exercising and calorie counting Worrying about how others see me Struggling to give up control Rigid routines and bad habits that are hard to break Eating differently than family Decades of disordered relationship with food and body Always relapsing when life happens The Greatest Wishes Women Have When Lindsey asks "What is your greatest wish?" she hears: I want to live life FREE I want to be healthier and better I want to eat "normal" (whatever that is) I want to nourish my body I want to be happy and healthy I want to stop thinking about food constantly I want to eat without fear of weight gain I want to go out to eat and enjoy it without looking at the menu beforehand I want flexibility I want to be present I want to LIVE The Bridge: Freedom IS Your Reality Freedom is possible no matter how you feel right now Feelings aren't forever - they change If you feel stuck year after year, same holidays, same struggles - it's time to stop the madness You have to stop the nagging voice keeping you in the cycle The Hard Truth You Need to Hear YOU have the power to transform your life completely - you, no one else If you had the "magic pill of power" to create peace, would you take it? You have to stop loving the drama of the cycle Your wishes must become GREATER than your worries This only happens when you come PREPARED FOR THE BATTLE Warriors don't go into battle without a shield, sword, or team You need a PLAN and you need to EXECUTE The 3-Step Battle Plan to Turn Wishes Into Reality: Step 1: Get in Alignment with Your Biggest Challenge In order to defeat the enemy, you need a strategy What is your biggest worry? Your biggest challenge? You have to identify it clearly to fight it effectively Be specific - name the fear, the behavior, the thought pattern Step 2: Get in Alignment with Your Greatest Dream What is your biggest wish? Your greatest desire? Close your eyes - where do you see yourself in 1 year? 5 years? Your dream is achievable if you can imagine it This becomes your "why" - what you're fighting FOR Step 3: Study Your Opponent (Your Enemy) How can you fight what you can't see? How can you put in your all when you can't define it? How can you go to battle if you don't know what you're up against? What is your reward when you conquer? Study the enemy like no other: What does that voice inside your head say to you? She's constantly bargaining, right? "You don't need that" / "You can eat later" / "It's too early for a meal" What is she trying to manipulate you with? When you can SEPARATE your thoughts from HER thoughts, you can build your plan of attack Key Takeaways: ✨ Worries can work FOR you or AGAINST you - they can propel you forward or keep you stuck ✨ Wishes without action keep you in the same place - year after year, holiday after holiday ✨ Feelings aren't forever - no matter how stuck you feel right now, it can change ✨ You have to stop loving the drama of the cycle - the cycle only continues if you participate ✨ Your wishes must become GREATER than your worries - this is the tipping point ✨ Warriors don't go into battle unprepared - you need a shield, sword, helmet, and plan ✨ You're not meant to do this alone - going solo into battle is a losing strategy ✨ YOU have the power to transform your life - no one else can do this for you ✨ Freedom is already yours - it's been granted to you, you just have to claim it ✨ Commit to ONE action today - your future self will thank you Powerful Quotes from This Episode: "You can turn your worries and your wishes into your true realities" "Your worries can help you move forward or keep you stuck in the safe zone" "Wishes can keep you stuck if you do nothing about them" "If you feel like year after year you're stuck - Thanksgiving after Thanksgiving, Christmas after Christmas - you have to stop the madness" "Feelings aren't forever, friend. Feelings aren't forever" "You have power to completely transform your life. You. No one else" "If I gave you the magic pill of power to create peace in your life, would you do whatever it took?" "You have to stop loving the drama of the cycle" "Your wishes and dreams have to become GREATER than your worries and anxiety" "You will only find freedom if you become prepared for the battle" "Warriors don't go into battle without a shield. Would you go into battle without a sword? How about going into battle alone?" "Why are you going to battle without a plan or without others fighting with you?" "How can you fight what you can't see? How can you put your all when you can't define it?" "When you can separate your thoughts from HER thoughts, then you can build your plan of attack" "You are a mighty warrior. There is no doubt you're strong" "What are you waiting for? Freedom is yours. It's already been granted to you" "Feelings aren't forever. You are a warrior" "It's time to stop going to battle without a helmet and a sword, and it's time to stop going as if you're going at it alone" Scripture: You Are a Mighty Warrior Zechariah 10:5-12 (paraphrased): You shall be mighty in battle, trampling the foe in the mud of the streets. You shall fight because God is with you and you will put to shame the riders on horses. He will strengthen you. He will save you. He will bring you back because he has compassion for you. And you will be enough. You won't be rejected. For he is God and he will deliver you. You shall become a mighty warrior and your heart will be glad and your children will see it and rejoice. God will whistle for you and gather you in because he is redeeming you and you shall be as you were before. He will bring you home from the desert land and gather you. He will pass through the sea of troubles with you and strike down the waves, and all the depths will dry up. The enemy shall depart. He will make you strong and you shall walk in his name. Questions to Reflect On: About Your Challenges: What is your BIGGEST challenge right now in recovery? What worry keeps you up at night? What anxiety feels heaviest on your shoulders? Be specific - name it, define it, see it clearly About Your Dreams: What is your greatest wish for your life? What is your deepest desire? Why are you here? What do you truly want? If you close your eyes and see yourself in 1 year or 5 years free from this - what does that look like? About Your Enemy: What does that nagging voice say to you? What lies is she constantly telling you? What manipulations does she use to keep you stuck? How does she bargain with you throughout the day? Can you separate YOUR thoughts from HER thoughts? About Your Battle Plan: Do you have a strategy, or are you winging it? Are you going into battle with a shield, sword, and helmet? Are you trying to do this alone? What is ONE action you can take today that your future self will thank you for? The Big Question: What are you waiting for?

Have you ever caught yourself living in constant hustle mode — pushing for the next milestone in your therapy practice but rarely pausing to breathe, to celebrate, or to simply be? I sit down with Jenny Jonker, a therapist, practice owner, and graduate of both my Money Skills for Therapists and Money Skills for Practice Owners programs. Jenny's story is powerful — she shares how her immigrant background, her family's experience fleeing war, and the survival mindset that shaped her early years carried into her life as a business owner. Together, we explore what it looks like to shift from fear and scarcity into calm, trust, and true presence. I coach Jenny through the process of breaking free from the “always-doing” cycle and learning to actually enjoy the success she's built. We talk about how trauma, culture, and early money stories shape the way we work — and why slowing down, resting, and allowing ourselves to feel safe in abundance is part of the deeper healing work for therapists. Jenny's reflections are moving and relatable: honoring her parents' legacy while learning that she doesn't have to hustle to prove her worth. She reminds us that the path to financial stability in private practice isn't only about spreadsheets and systems — it's about healing what's underneath. The Cost of Constant Hustle and How Therapists Can Embrace Rest (00:03:11) Finding Purpose Beyond Hustle (00:09:01) Breaking Cycles, Reclaiming Your Space (00:10:39) Feeling Empowered Through Your Backstory (00:18:51) Reflecting on Presence and Growth (00:21:07) Hustling to Prove Yourself (00:23:01) New Patterns Take Time (00:26:10) Prioritizing Rest and Growth (00:30:29) Balancing Hustle with Presence Redefining “Enough”: Healing the Immigrant Hustle Mindset in Private Practice (00:10:05) “Being an immigrant and having my own history and the way that I grew up, I think has really informed my practice and how I show up with clients and how I want to create this space with intention and be able to share my story and my experiences of hardship and poverty with clients in a way that helps them have hope." - Jenny Jonker Jenny beautifully describes what she calls her foreboding joy — that anxious feeling when things are finally good, but a part of you is waiting for something to go wrong. She's practicing new tools to retrain her nervous system, learning to let in safety, joy, and gratitude. One of her grounding techniques: closing her eyes, counting to three, and saying, “I am really here. I deserve this.” If you've ever felt driven by scarcity, fear, or the pressure to prove yourself, Jenny's story offers a gentle reminder: your worth doesn't come from your productivity. It's okay to slow down, to rest, and to take in how far you've come. Action Steps to Help You Shift Your Money Narrative: Explore your family's money story. Reflect on the messages you absorbed about money, work, and success growing up. Which beliefs are truly yours, and which are ready to be released? Notice when “hustle” shows up. When you feel the pull to overwork, ask: “What am I afraid will happen if I slow down?” Practice mindful presence and positive affect tolerance. Try the same exercise I walked Jenny through: sit still, close your eyes, count to three, and open them with the words, “I deserve this. This is my life. I built this.” Connect with your younger self. When fear arises, connect with that child part of you and gently remind them, “We're safe now. I've made good choices for us.” Celebrate your accomplishments – Visibly. Create...
What if the real healing from cancer isn't solely focused on making the tumor disappear, but transforming the person carrying it?When therapist Geneva Jacobs learned she had cancer, she remembered watching her mother go through chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries at the same age.

We are repeatedly fed propaganda about how Israel is the greatest ally to the United States, about how their technology is world-leading, their government is the most moral in the world, their society is the barrier between civilization and barbarity, and their people are the most trustworthy and have the highest IQs. It appears that all of these identities are not mere propaganda, but stolen from other people. Steven Crowder, a rightwing commentator, has finally broken the official line and said that realistically Japan is the greatest ally to the United States. Why? Besides issues revolving around China, Japan is a general world-leader in technology and both their society and people not only have the highest IQs consistently but are probably the most famously honorable people in the world. While Japan exports civilization and beauty, Israel exports virtually everything anti-civilization. Israel fears the samurai. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

This episode is a MUST listen. If you've ever felt stuck, small, or tired of letting fear dictate your life, you need to hit play. This is the most eye-opening, empowering conversation you'll hear this year. It's time to stop playing small. There's a bigger possibility for your life, you are more capable than you know, and you can manifest the future you want. Today's episode will show you how. In it, Mel is joined by Shonda Rhimes. Shonda is one of the most powerful voices in entertainment history. She's the creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and the Executive Producer of Bridgerton and How To Get Away With Murder. She's won Golden Globes, Emmys, broken records, and built Shondaland, a global storytelling empire. But this is not a conversation about groundbreaking TV shows. It's about taking your life back. Shonda reveals that despite all her success, she was still living in fear. Still hiding. And in this conversation, Shonda will challenge you to do the same things she started doing: to stop doubting yourself, stop waiting for permission, and start saying YES, even when it's terrifying. This is a masterclass in courage, clarity, and finding your power. By the time it's over, you won't just believe change is possible. You'll know it is. Because the life you want? It's on the other side of YES. And it starts right now. For more resources, click here for the podcast episode page.

Fear of being powerful, being too beautiful and overall being seen is a very real thing. And the more we rise in frequency and heal ourselves, the more attention we receive which is a double edged sword. Magnetism is powerful but if we don't heal the fear around it we will continue to hide and self sabotage. I'm doing a free 4 day event inside of The Kingdom Membership on how to permanently identify shift and finally quantum leap into the reality you're desiring. How to finally stop self sabotaging for good and finally see progress in all areas of life. The membership is free right now for 7 days and will expire on Monday.

Dr. Jeremy Lundgren NEW PODCAST TODAY! Dave Wager sits down with Dr. Jeremy Lundgren, president of Nicolet Bible Institute at Silver Birch Ranch, to talk straight about college, calling, and growing up. Framed by Proverbs 1:7, “Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge…,” they push past the usual “pick a major and chase a paycheck” thinking and ask better questions: Should your son or daughter go to college at all? What is God actually preparing them for? How do you weigh Bible school, trade school, a four year degree, or a gap year in a culture that is confused, expensive, and often hostile to biblical truth? Dave and Jeremy keep circling back to transition. College is not just about classrooms. It is about learning to get up on your own, handle responsibility, live with other people, make your faith your own, and see your future through the lens of serving Christ, not just surviving adulthood. They talk about how a place like Nicolet Bible Institute gives students one focused year in Scripture, service, and community, to grow in wisdom before locking into a long term path. This episode is for parents, grandparents, and young adults who are trying to make decisions about “what's next” and want to start, not with money or majors, but with the fear of the Lord.

Vivi (Vicky), character design analyst and video essayist, joins the podcast to break down how fame is built, sold, and protected. After a clear-eyed look at the “next big thing” machine around actors like Mason Thames, we examine how Hollywood favors familiar, marketable faces, how race and colorism shape visibility, how listicles and PR language disguise old hierarchies as meritocracy, and why certain careers are pre-selected long before the audience thinks it has chosen.From there, we move into fame as a system through To Be Hero X, Oshi no Ko, and My Hero Academia: trust scores and hero towers, idol factories and weaponized fandom, rankings and school pipelines that turn human beings into managed brands. We connect how these stories show image as currency, audiences as enforcement, and corporations as the final arbiter of who is celebrated, discarded, or sacrificed.All this, plus the content creator pipeline, sponsorship logic, scandal management, selective cancellation, and what it means to live as a product in an attention economy that never switches off. This episode is direct, detailed, and unromantic about what modern fame demands—and what it quietly costs.0:00 – IntroShow open, “I've Been Meaning To Watch That” intro, this week's topic preview. 0:26 – Meet Vivi (Vicky)Vivi introduces herself, her character design work, and how she reads visual choices and tropes. 1:21 – Episode OverviewFraming the three texts (To Be Hero X, Oshi no Ko, My Hero Academia) and “fame as a system.” 2:07 – Media Mania: Mason Thames & Manufactured StarsVulture article, Mason Thames' three #1 films, “ordinary” palatable whiteness, comparison to Jim Carrey, Daniel Kaluuya, Mahershala Ali, Caleb McLaughlin vs co-stars, listicles, casting patterns, race and colorism in who gets momentum.25:00 – What Is Fame As A System?Defining fame beyond Hollywood: power in a name, internet volatility, person-to-product pipeline.36:29 – Enter To Be Hero X (Context + Why It Hits)Underrated status, production, anthology structure, trust value system, Hero Tower explained.40:53 – Style, Structure, and the Hero FactoryVisual language, hero/villain PR, reality show framing, shipping, consent, system manufacturing crime and narratives.51:05 – Trust vs Fear & Who Gets ProtectedHeroes as controlled assets, commission, balance of worship and terror, parallels to scandalous but untouchable figures. 1:12:04 – Oshi no Ko: Idol Industry and Weaponized ParasocialityPilot, reincarnation hook without plot spoiling, how the show dissects exploitation, image labor, fans as enforcement.1:54:04 – My Hero Academia: Hero Rankings and Marketable MoralitySeries summary, school-as-industry pipeline, quirks as brandable assets, Class 1-A vs 1-B, children groomed into a hero economy.2:22:15 – Endgame: Systems That Eat Their OwnClosing on endings discourse, systemic rot, why To Be Hero X reads like Oshi no Ko + MHA pushed to its logical conclusion. 2:31:48 – WatchlistUpcoming watches: Chainsaw Man movie, My Hero Academia catch-up, other anime on the radar.Vicky's Linktreehttps://linktr.ee/viviwithavTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@viviwithav2.0YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@viviwithavPodcast SocialsYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ivebeenmeaningtowatchthatp2316Twitter: https://twitter.com/BeenMeaning2PodTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenmeaning2podFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ive-Been-Meaning-To-Watch-That-113280083760521/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenmeaning2/

What if “enough” wasn't a number — but a moment? This conversation explores the quiet art of leaving nothing essential undone. We talk about the trap of “more” — more savings, more time, more planning — and how it steals the urgency that makes life vivid. To die with zero regrets isn't to die empty; it's to die complete. Like an artist who finishes a painting not because it's perfect, but because it says what it needed to say. We explore how generosity, timing, and intention turn ordinary years into extraordinary ones. It's not about consuming your wealth — it's about converting it into meaning. Takeaways: Treat time as your most valuable currency. Design your life around moments that matter. Give forward — not backward. SPONSORS
Many leaders still believe emotions don't belong in business. That limiting belief creates workplaces where employees stay quiet when problems appear, avoid taking ownership for customer outcomes, and follow directions even when they see flaws that will affect customers. Fear is data. It signals when people feel unprepared, unsupported, or uncertain about priorities. When leaders ignore those signals, communication erodes, decision quality declines, and customers experience preventable mistakes and service failures. In this episode of Doing CX Right®, Stacy Sherman talks with Kristen Kavanaugh, a former U.S. Marine Corps officer and Tesla culture executive, about how courageous leadership turns fear into insight and action.

God Speaks to Jesus Followers Through the Holy Spirit's Inward Voice, and with the Spirit, He Gave His Personal Relationship MESSAGE SUMMARY: Isaiah tells us in Isaiah 30:21: "And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,' when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.". We know, from the New Testament, that Jesus Followers are given the Holy Spirit to walk with them -- "a word behind you". Since the Holy Spirit takes up residence in you, the way the Lord speaks to you is through the inward witness of the Holy Spirit -- the Spirit will speak, and you will know that it is the Lord. In John 14:26, Jesus reminds us about His promise, to His followers, of the “Helper” (Holy Spirit): “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”. Additionally, in John 16-7, Jesus tells us that not only will the Holy Spirit be your “Helper”, the Holy Spirit will be your “Comforter”: “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him {the Comforter} unto you.". For Jesus Followers, God speaks through the inward voice of the Holy Spirit who He gave to us along with a personal relationship with Him. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, you know how difficult it is for me to be in silence before you. At times it feels almost impossible, given the demands, distractions, and noise all around me. I invite you to lead me to a quiet, silent place before you — to a place where I can hear you as Elijah did. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 123). 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): Ezekiel 22:30-31; Isaiah 30:21; John 14:23-27; John 16:7-13; Psalms 134:1-3. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.
