She began her fasting journey in January 2022, inspired by a friend who practiced the 16:8 fasting method. Despite not experiencing rapid weight loss, with only a 21-pound loss over 18 months, Jayne emphasizes the non-scale victories she has achieved, such as improved energy levels, reduced need for thyroid medication, and better overall health. She discusses the challenges of menopause, and the importance of mindset in her journey.Throughout the conversation, Jayne highlights the significance of adapting fasting methods to individual needs, such as transitioning to alternate-day fasting (ADF). She shares her experiences with various diets and the realization that intermittent fasting offers a sustainable lifestyle rather than a quick fix. Jayne and Gin also discuss the impact of genetics on weight and health, and the importance of listening to one's body. Takeaways:• Intermittent fasting can lead to significant non-scale victories, such as improved energy and health, even if weight loss is slow.• Mindset and community support play crucial roles in maintaining a sustainable fasting lifestyle.• Genetics can influence weight and health, highlighting the importance of personalized approaches to fasting.• It's essential to eat enough during eating windows and choose nutritious foods to support fasting success.At the end of the episode, Jayne has three pieces of advice for anyone new to IF: 16:8 may not be enough for you to see weight loss, make sure you eat enough rather than accidentally over-restricting, and what you choose to eat to close your eating window can affect the next day's fast.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, March 17, is the Memorial of St. Patrick, a bishop chosen by God 1.500 years ago to preach His glory by bringing Christianity to Ireland, a little country which would be converted from their pagan gods to the one true God.Today, Irishmen venerate him as their father in the Faith.Sf. Patrick was born about 385 in the British Isles. In Roman Britain, when he was 16, while he was tending his sheep, Irish raiders captured him and sold him into slavery. Six years later, he escaped to Europe, became a monk, and was ordained; he then returned to Ireland to preach the Gospel.During the thirty years of missionary work, he covered the Island with churches and monasteries and founded the metropolitan see of Armagh.Many legends are associated with St. Patrick: how he drove the snakes out of Ireland and how he used the shamrock to teach the mystery of the Trinity.Ireland, although a small country, played a large role in spreading the true faith to the world. During the early Dark Ages, and while Europe remained in darkness, the Irish monasteries preserved Western writingsIn his autobiography, Confessions, written in true humility, St. Patrick said,“I am greatly God's debtor, because he granted me so much grace, that through me many people would be reborn in God.”Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

In this prophetic teaching, Dr. Candice Smithyman reveals why this is a season to build your spiritual temple and prepare for Passover.Are you sensing a spiritual shift and a call to prepare for a new season with God? In this prophetic teaching, Dr. Candice Smithyman shares a powerful message about entering the Hebrew month of Nisan, the beginning of months on God's calendar, and why this is a time to build, cleanse, and prepare your spiritual temple for greater glory.According to the Torah readings (Exodus 35:1–40:38 and Exodus 12:1–20), God instructed Moses and the Israelites to assemble and build the Tabernacle so His glory could dwell among them. In the same way, God is calling His people today to prepare their lives, align their hearts, and remove what cannot go into the new season.As the Hebrew calendar approaches the first month (Nisan) and the preparation for Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, this is a prophetic moment to:• Cleanse your spiritual temple• Leave behind old patterns and mindsets• Step into greater glory, purity, and consecration• Prepare for the seven blessings of Passover• Align with God's prophetic timelineJust as the Israelites prepared to leave Egypt, God may be shifting relationships, assignments, jobs, ministries, and opportunities in your life. This is a season of divine restructuring and spiritual building so His presence can dwell in greater measure.In this message you will learn:• Why Nisan marks the true beginning of months in the Bible• The prophetic meaning of Parashat Vayakhel (He Assembled)• How God prepares His people for Passover and breakthrough seasons• Why your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and must be prepared for greater glory• How to align with God through prayer, fasting, and givingGod is calling you to build your spiritual house, increase your capacity, and prepare for the next level of His glory.⸻RESOURCES MENTIONED• Cracking the Time Code https://www.candicesmithyman.com/shop/p/preorder-cracking-the-time-code-step-into-supernatural-acceleration-stop-cycles-of-delay-and-secure-gods-promises-today• New Eternal Kingdom Order CourseDream Mentors Biblical Life Coaching CertificationLearn more: https://dreammentors.org• Hebrew Calendar & Torah Reading ResourcesGet your Wall Calender and copy of “365 Prophetic Revelations from the Hebrew Calendar”Www.candicesmithyman.com or out of USA go to https://amzn.to4aQYoR0FREE Mentoring Call – March 16 & April 27(10 AM & 6 PM EST) FREE impartation & activation monthlyREGISTER HERE- http://bit.ly/4gfRKXm

Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: My dear King, the chanting of the holy name of the Lord is able to uproot even the reactions of the greatest sins.

Pastor Matt explores John chapters 7-12, which chronicle the dramatic final six months of Jesus' public ministry leading up to the crucifixion. During this period, Jesus travels between Galilee, Jerusalem, and other regions, making increasingly bold declarations about his identity. At the Feast of Booths, Jesus openly proclaims "I am the light of the world" and declares that spiritual thirst can only be satisfied in him, even claiming "before Abraham was, I am"—using God's sacred name and asserting his divinity. Jesus backs up these claims with unprecedented miracles that demonstrate his authority. He heals a man born blind, creating a powerful contrast between physical and spiritual sight as the Pharisees who could see physically became spiritually blind due to their pride and rejection of Jesus. Even more dramatically, Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead after four days—proving his authority over death itself. Yet these same miraculous events produce completely opposite responses in people. Pastor Matt identifies three groups that emerge: the curious crowd who are intrigued but undecided, convinced followers like the healed blind man who declare "I was blind, now I see," and combative religious leaders whose hostility progresses from skepticism to plotting murder. The sermon concludes that Jesus' clear Revelation of his identity forces everyone to make a decision, and neutrality is impossible when confronted with who Jesus claims to be.

Jesus wants to feed your spirit now so that you can take part in his kingdom work while you wait for his return.

March 19th might be just another day in other parts of the United States, but here in New Orleans, it's a day when revelers take to the streets in honor of the Feast of St. Joseph. The tradition of food altars dedicated to Jesus' foster father came to the Crescent City in the late 1800s with immigrants from Sicily, where Joseph is the patron saint. What was called Mi-Carême (or Mid-Lent by the Creoles) was a day when fasting was suspended and festivities abounded. On this week's show, we explore the holiday and join in on the celebration. Tony Marino's family were faithful followers of St. Joseph, and today, he keeps the tradition alive at his Bourbon Street home in New Orleans' French Quarter. We sit down with Tony to hear what it takes to pull off his annual street party, complete with altars and a life-sized statue of St. Joseph. Then, Arthur Brocato, third generation of Angelo Brocato's Ice Cream and Confectionary, joins us to share his family's history and explain the special role Brocato's has played in the St. Joseph's Day celebration. Founded in the French Quarter in 1905, the gelateria and pasticceria continues those traditions today on Carrollton Avenue in Mid-City. Finally, historian Laura Guccione joins us to reveal what she's discovered about the fancy dress balls that were once part of the St. Joseph tradition and to explain the mystical tie between the feast day and the Mardi Gras Indians.

Jesus' first sign was not feeding the poor. It wasn't healing the sick or raising the dead. It was keeping a party going.  In the book of John, there's a series of miracles that are called signs. That's important because it means Jesus' miracles weren't naked displays of power. They signify. They're symbolic. They point to who Jesus is and what he came to do. And the first sign of Jesus' ministry is turning water into wine. What does that say about him?  Let's take a look and ask 1) what do the jars point to? 2) what does the brusque exchange with his mother point to? 3) what does the wine point to? and 4) what does this mean for us?

This week, we're cracking open the OWENS SPELL BOOK and stepping back into the nineteenth century to explore the Arts and Crafts Movement and the world that shaped the work of illustrator Walter Crane.

She embarked on her intermittent fasting journey after being introduced to the concept by a friend in September 2020. Initially drawn to the health and wellness benefits, Lisa found that fasting helped her manage stress-related eating and maintain her weight more effectively. Although she didn't have a significant amount of weight to lose initially, intermittent fasting provided a structure that helped her navigate fluctuations due to stress and lifestyle changes. Over time, Lisa has experienced weight loss and weight maintenance, finding a balance that supports her health goals while allowing her to enjoy a flexible, plant-based diet.Takeaways:• Lisa started intermittent fasting after being introduced to it by a friend. She began with the "Intermittent Fasting Podcast" and found it aligned with her interest in health and wellness.• Lisa transitioned to a vegan diet before starting intermittent fasting. She experimented with her diet, including a period of increased protein intake, but ultimately returned to a plant-based diet, occasionally including eggs and some dairy.• Lisa emphasizes modeling positive behavior for her daughters, focusing on being a positive role model as a tall woman and encouraging them to make healthy food choices without emphasizing diet culture.• Lisa acknowledges being a stress eater and discusses how intermittent fasting helps her manage food intake during stressful times.• Lisa values the support and resources available through podcasts and communities, which help her stay informed and motivated on her health journey.At the end of the episode, Lisa encourages listeners to fast clean, and to keep track of their fasts/windows. She also emphasizes not to start ADF too soon and to listen to your body along the way.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

St. Teresa of Avila (1515 - 1582) St. Teresa of Avila was the first female Doctor of the Church. She was the co-founder (with St. John of the Cross) of the Discalced Carmelites. A reformer, and a mystic, her books on prayer taught the Church to go deeper, and her famous book, Interior Castle, is a spiritual classic.

God's presence is found even in temporary places.So many of us assume that God's faithfulness should feel comfortable, stable, and settled. But real life doesn't always look that way. Seasons shift. Circumstances change. Some days feel more like wilderness than harvest. And yet, Scripture reminds us that God does not wait for permanence to show up. He dwells with us right in the middle of what's unfinished.In this episode, Angie explores the Feast of Tabernacles, one of the most joy-filled gatherings on God's calendar. Rooted in Leviticus 23:34, this conversation invites us to see how God's people were called to step into temporary shelters as a living reminder of divine covering, protection, and His faithful presence. What you'll hear in this week's episodeWhy the Feast of Tabernacles was designed to be joyful, not somberHow temporary shelters taught God's people to trust His coveringHow remembrance and celebration work together in God's rhythmsWhy discomfort does not mean God is absentHow ancient feasts point us forward to Christ and the Christian calendar ResourcesGather (SOU Study)A 14-week journey inside Steady On University exploring worship, community, and the sacred patterns God uses to form His people.Learn more: https://livesteadyon.com/steady-on-university/Gather BundleIncludes the Jewish Feasts & Festivals, a Christian calendar, and a simple year-at-a-glance guide that helps you see how both unfold together throughout the calendar year.Grab the bundle here: https://steadyon.myflodesk.com/bundleVerse of the Week“On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Lord's Festival of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days.”Leviticus 23:34 (NIV) Connect with Angie & Steady On: https://www.livesteadyon.comTheme Music: Glimmer by Andy Ellison

In this powerful episode, Dr. Harvey Castro tears off the mask of invincibility worn by leaders and CEOs, confronting the myth that wholeness is the prerequisite for success. Are you ready to trade applause for obedience, comfort for calling? Dive deep into the wilderness of leadership, scarcity, and identity as Dr. Castro challenges you to step into the emergency room, not as a fixer, but as a patient in need of the Great Physician.This is not a safe conversation. It's a call to kingdom leadership that begins with honesty and spiritual brokenness. Feast on wisdom from Luke 5:31, and discover why need, not perfection, is your access point to grace. Ready for a soul check? Tune in and let Christ transform your story.Tune in. Transformation awaits.Episode Highlights02:38 - I'm talking about the kingdom of God. You see, the rules of corporate ladder are exactly opposite of the rules of the kingdom. In the corporation, you rise by proving your strength. In the kingdom, you rise by admitting your weakness. In the corporation, you hide your liabilities. In the kingdom, your liabilities is your access to the point to grace.11:04 - The danger of the digital frontier is that it offers us wholeness without God. It offers us idolatry of efficiency... We want to believe that if we build a tall enough tower of technology, we can make a name of ourselves. It is the Tower of Babel all over again—trying to reach heaven by your own engineering instead of waiting for the heavens to come down to us.14:46 - The gospel is not about us climbing to God. The gospel is about the physician coming down to the patient. Jesus is that great physician, but he did something no human doctor would ever dare to do. He didn't just prescribe cure. He became the patient.Connect with Dr. Harvey CastroLinkedInWebsiteInstagramFacebookX

John 13:1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. In this verse and the next 2 verses John tells us what Jesus knew that motivated Him to wash His disciples feet. In this verse we learn that Jesus knew His time had come to depart from this world. It is interesting to me that John didn't write that Jesus knew it was time to die. He is the resurrection and the life. Even though He may die in this world, yet shall He live to God. So Jesus was thinking that He was in His last hours with them. We also learn that He was moved by His enduring love for them. This reminds us that our time with those we love is short and that we have the same love in us that Jesus had. So when we love with Him today we are sustaining His love for His own to the very end of time. What a mission! What purpose! What a privilege! What glory to God!

New Testament Sermons / Speaker:Berry Kercheville I Am the Door of the Sheep, the Good Shepherd John 10:1-21 Introduction: As we read the text before us our first thought might be, “Never have more beautiful words been uttered than these”—“I am the door of the sheepfold; I am the good shepherd.” Those words by Jesus should give us great comfort. However, a more careful examination reveals that in the original context Jesus was offering more than comfort, he was also revealing condemnation. When Jesus says, “I am the door of the sheep…I am the good shepherd,” we must remember that John proclaimed Jesus as the “Word.” With every “I AM” statement, Jesus is revealing the beauty of God, and also the very nature of God. Both statements should alert us to three truths that must be clearly accepted and acted upon by us: We are sheep. It is foolish to think of ourselves any other way. Sheep are extremely vulnerable. They are among the weakest of all farm animals and are completely unable to protect themselves apart from a shepherd. We, however, in contrast do not think of ourselves that way. As Jesus said in the conclusion of chapter 9, we think we see, when we are actually blind.  Without a shepherd, we are without wisdom or direction. Sheep have no idea how to seek good food and water for themselves. On their own, they will starve, become diseased, and die. There is no such thing as “wild sheep” who roam in the open country. We must choose a shepherd to lead us. There are other choices for “shepherds.” Many claim to be shepherds, but there is only Good Shepherd. All us are “hirelings.” Seeing the Movement through the Text As usual, seeing a new chapter division causes us to conclude that we are starting a new event in Jesus' life. But careful reading shows that this is not so. Note the lead up to chapter 10: In chapter 5, Jesus healed a man on the Sabbath who had been in physical bondage to his illness for 38 years. In chapter 6, Jesus took on the escalated role of a new Moses leading a new exodus. He portrays this by not only feeding the people, but also crossing the sea by walking on it, and then proclaiming himself to be the bread of life.  In chapter 7, during the Feast of Tabernacles, and at the time of seventh day when the priests poured out water at the altar and calling to God to give them the abundance of water, Jesus cried out, “If any man thirsts let him come to me and drink…out of his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.”  In chapter 8, Jesus at the same time, proclaimed himself as “the light of the world,” and then followed up in chapter 9 with giving sight to a man born blind,  As we come to the end of chapter 9, we see that Jesus has not only healed the physical sight of the man, but has also brought to spiritual sight. The man was cast out of the synagogue by the Pharisees, and therefore banned him from the flock of Israel. In 9:39, after the confession of belief by the man born blind, Jesus makes a startling statement that his entrance into the world was “for judgment.” That is not that he came “to judge,” but that his entrance created a judgment between those who knew they were blind and needed sight, and those who believed they could see and therefore did not know they were  blind. As you read those final verses of chapter 9, and then into chapter 10, you will recognize immediately that there is no break. Immediately, Jesus answers the Pharisees who had just challenged his statement that they did not recognize their own blindness. The metaphor of “entering the sheepfold by the door,” and “I am the door to sheep.”  With this metaphor, Jesus speaks of a communal sheepfold that was common in the city. A large enclosed area was provided in which many different flocks of sheep were housed. There was one entrance guarded by a doorkeeper who knew the different shepherds and would only allow a true shepherd to enter. Once inside a shepherd would call his sheep, and only his sheep would respond by gathering to him. He would then lead them out and they would follow because they knew his voice. In this picture, Jesus is speaking of how one would enter this sheepfold. The only legitimate way to enter was by the door. Anyone attempting to enter another way was a thief and a robber In the second picture Jesus speaks of a temporary sheepfold that would commonly be set up for the night out in the open field. This sheepfold consisted of four walls but no door. Once the sheep were inside the enclosure and night had fallen the shepherd would lay down at the entrance of the enclosure. He literally became the door of the sheepfold. No sheep could enter or leave except through him. And no wolf or robber could enter except over his body. A true shepherd would never leave that post and leave the sheep unattended. [remember David killing the lion and bear?] But a hireling, one who was in it just for pay and did not love the sheep, would flee and save his own life at the first sign of danger. A true shepherd would literally die protecting the sheep. If the sheep were stolen or destroyed it would only be after he had given his life. In both illustrations Jesus has placed Himself squarely in contrast to the Jewish leaders as to who was the true shepherd of the flock. They were not true shepherds and did not care for the sheep. Their only interest was self-interest. They neither entered by the door of the sheepfold (were not true to God’s teachings), nor did they care for the sheep like a true shepherd. Those who followed them were not of the Lord’s flock, while those who would not hear their voice [blind man] but instead heard the voice of the Lord were of the true flock. It was no surprise that they cast out the healed blind man or that this man followed Jesus. They were not the good shepherds and he refused to hear their voice. The Primary Message in the Context Making the connection between chapters 9 and 10 allows us to see the message Jesus is giving the Pharisees. Jesus is exposing the serious condition of the Pharisees and everyone else who remains blind while they think the see.  As with the Pharisees, when a person thinks he sees, he is like a lamb who decides he can explore any part of the countryside he desires. Some sheep, and most people, think they will be fine exploring whatever they desire. Their thoughts and their ways become their shepherd. Cf. Isaiah 55:8-9. Therefore, Jesus is proclaiming that you cast this blind man out of your sheepfold because you are a thief and a robber. He has now not only entered another sheepfold, but he actually entered by the door of the sheepfold. We must hear the message today. There is only one sheepfold and there is only one door to that sheepfold, and that is Jesus. There is no other!  We often see Christians “slipping, falling away, turning in other directions, and generally no longer fully trusting in the Shepherd. The simple question is, where do you think you are going? You leave the shepherd and the sheepfold and you will lose life. You will die.  Verse 11 “I am the good shepherd.” Contrast verse 10, “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy.” Jesus is the good shepherd, not a good shepherd. Jesus is clearly calling on us to choose! There is a choice. Which will you choose? Ask yourself, what happened to those leaders? What happened to the Pharisees? What happened to the Jewish nation? They followed other shepherds and they were destroyed…brutally!  The Message for Us: The Sheep Hear His Voice  That is what is unique about sheep: they follow the voice of their shepherd, and they not only will listen to his voice, they will flee from a stranger—any other potential shepherd. What is a stranger? What is another shepherd? Paul said in well in Ephesians 2:2, we followed “the course of this world, the prince of the power of the air.” Most people, and even some who call themselves Christians, do not know who they are following. If it is not the good shepherd, it is the devil. When I read this the first thing I think of is, as dumb as sheep are, in this regard, they are smarter than us. Listen to the good shepherd.  How do you know if you are in the good shepherd's flock? You hear his voice! Please remember, Jesus is talking to the most religious people of his day. We often meet people who are very sincere in their beliefs. But sincerity is not the test. Do they hear his voice, or are they ignoring his voice and following their own voices? This is simple identity question. Follow his voice and you are his sheep. Don't follow it, and you are not his sheep. Verse 3 “…he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.” This is not, “Hey, you all can come out now!” He calls each by name. A shepherd would have a certain “voice” he would use for each animal. Jesus knows us individually. He is calling you, specifically you. Will you follow? Verse 14, “I know my own and my own know me.”  Principle: Shepherds lead, they do not drive the flock!  Shepherds must be decisive concerning the direction and needs of the flock.  It is the reason they are “elders.” They are expected to have greater wisdom and greater experience than the flock. The flock is able to lie down when the elders lead and take the flock where they ought to go. When the children of Israel wanted to go back to Egypt, Moses didn't take a vote. The question is not what would the congregation like to do. The question is, what is the best for the spiritual welfare of the church! Many elders of churches have told me that after COVID, the church got accustomed to not meeting Sunday evening, so we went along. Really? You didn't answer the question of where you are leading this church and how will meeting less enhance our spiritual growth. The sinfulness of shepherds who think they are cowboys. Your flock are sheep, not cows. Matthew 20:25. The Value of Following: “I Am the Door…the Good Shepherd” Those who enter will “go in and out.” — They are always safe; the wolf cannot touch them. The good shepherd is always there. 10: “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Jesus is the only path to life, that is, true abundant living. He is not just talking about eternity, that abundant life is even being tasted now. 13-14: Jesus is the only one who cares for the flock. Only Jesus can be trusted with our lives. “He knows his own.”  15: Jesus lays down his life for the sheep. “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32) 17: Jesus lays down his life so that he could give and attain an even greater life. Conclusion: It is almost humorous to read in verse 20 that some heard this and said, “He has a demon, and is insane.” No, insanity is living without the Good Shepherd.  Berry Kercheville The post John 10:1-21 I Am the Door of the Sheep, the Good Shepherd appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.

This teaching explains how Jesus' healing of the man born blind reveals the deeper meaning of salvation, showing that miracles serve not as spectacles but as signs of God's compassion, the Messiah's identity, and the spiritual restoration of humanity, especially in the context of Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication; drawing from John 9:38–39, John 10, and John 5, the speaker emphasizes that Jesus is worshiped as God, fulfills the symbolism of light by giving sight to the blind, and exposes spiritual blindness among the religious elite, while also connecting healing miracles to Old Testament foundations such as Psalm 32, Isaiah 64:6, Deuteronomy 21:23, and prophetic expectations in Daniel, alongside New Testament insights from Luke 5:17, James 5, and the resurrection account in John 11, ultimately teaching that physical healing illustrates spiritual rebirth—where the blind see, the lame walk, the defiled are cleansed, and the dead hear the voice of Christ and come to life. You can connect with Moriel in more locations than just YouTube!

Tiffany is a project manager for cancer research educational programming specific to cancer immunotherapy. Tiffany shares her journey with intermittent fasting, which she began in January 2023. She was motivated by a desire to feel better in her body without the constant need for intense exercise.

Through fasting, she has experienced significant improvements in her health, including reduced inflammation and fatigue, and a newfound sense of comfort in her own skin.Tiffany emphasizes the importance of real, whole foods and the impact of diet on overall well-being. She recounts her experiences growing up in a community that valued food as medicine and how this shaped her approach to health.

She shares her active lifestyle, including hiking and daily exercise, and the benefits of metabolic flexibility gained through fasting.Takeaways:• Clean fasting can significantly improve energy levels.• Transformative health changes can happen at any age.• Personal struggles with health can lead to profound insights.• The journey to better health often starts with small changes.• Feeling amazing is possible after years of struggle.The episode concludes with Tiffany's advice for those new to intermittent fasting: be patient, focus on health beyond weight loss, and embrace the journey of self-discovery and wellness.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.
