Can your home truly dictate the way you feel?

In this episode, I talk with Cara Shine about her powerful journey from growing up Jewish with painful misconceptions about Christians to encountering the love of Jesus through the quiet faithfulness of two “good Christians” at her school. During the terrifying DC sniper attacks, one hallway prayer changed everything. Cara shares how kindness, presence, and Scripture softened her heart and opened the door to faith in Jesus. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that the way we represent Christ matters deeply. If you’ve ever wondered whether your quiet faithfulness makes a difference, this episode will encourage you more than you know.

Discipline doesn't care how you feel about yourself. In this episode, I explain how discipline operates independently of your mood, confidence, or insecurity. It simply records what you do and delivers results based on your actions. Your outcomes are a clear reflection of the discipline you practice every day. When you understand this, you stop relying on feelings and start focusing on consistent action. Show Notes: [02:06]#1 Discipline responds to behavior, not belief. [14:24]#2 Feeling good about yourself does not compensate for your inconsistency. [18:50]#3 Discipline exposes identity. [21:55] Recap Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making.

Let's talk about Trump's feelings, Marines, Iran, orders, and a question....

This video is the 5th part of our series on dealing with anger and related emotions. Robert again reminds us of the obvious fact that of course you don't want to be critical of yourself, and set the stage to suppress the anger or make yourself even angrier. Allow yourself to stay aware of the anger with a little voice inside that says, "I want to support you anger."  Stay aware of the unique vulnerable feelings that you have. Feelings like fear or abandonment, insecurity, rejection. Now Allow yourself to feel both the anger and the vulnerable feelings. And now in this fifth step,  search our soul for what it is that you actually needed in the first place that made you angry. Anger is most often a reaction to having a need that has not been met. What is your need or needs?

Download: Identify And Regulate WorksheetHave you ever felt a whirlwind of emotions but couldn't pin down exactly what you were feeling? You're not alone. Many people, especially those on the road to recovery, struggle to identify their emotions. This episode of "The Addicted Mind" podcast dives into the crucial skill of recognizing and naming our feelings.Hosts Duane and Eric explore why pinpointing emotions is so important, especially for those battling addiction. They explain that many people used substances or behaviors to cope with overwhelming or confusing feelings. Learning to identify emotions is a key step in breaking free from destructive cycles.The hosts introduce a practical tool: asking yourself specific questions to figure out which emotion you're experiencing. They walk through examples for emotions like fear, envy, anger, shame, and guilt. By answering these targeted questions, listeners can better understand their emotional state.Duane and Eric stress that accurately identifying emotions is crucial for "checking the facts" – a method discussed in a previous episode. Once you know what you're feeling, you can examine if your emotional response fits the situation. This allows you to "adjust the volume" of your emotions – either dialing them up or down as needed.The hosts share real-life examples of how this process has helped people. In one case, a client realized they were feeling shame rather than guilt, leading to a breakthrough in their healing journey.Listeners are encouraged to practice this skill and to join a live "deep dive" session for more in-depth learning. The hosts also offer a downloadable worksheet to help listeners work through identifying different emotions on their own.Download: Identify And Regulate WorksheetKey TopicsThe importance of identifying specific emotions in recoveryUsing targeted questions to pinpoint emotionsExamples of questions for fear, envy, anger, shame, and guiltHow emotion identification connects to "checking the facts"Real-life impacts of accurately naming emotionsResources for further learning and practiceTimestamps0:00 - Introduction and importance of emotion identification2:43 - Connection to previous "Check the Facts" episode5:43 - Exploring fear as an emotion7:10 - Discussing envy and its complexities8:05 - Examining anger and its various triggers10:13 - Distinguishing between shame and guilt13:43 - Closing thoughts and resources for listenersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Managing feelings and emotions can be a complicated part of life. When we're angry, sad, or frustrated it's all too easy to blame our negative feelings on someone else. Sometimes we have a difficult time separating our own emotions from the emotions of others. We can even create codependent relationships by caretaking the feelings of others, rather than allowing them to do emotional work for themselves. Learning to be emotionally autonomous is a skill that we can hone once we start taking accountability for our own inner worlds. Your feelings are your responsibility… full stop. As we wander through the muddy forest, reflect on your emotional landscape. How healthy are your boundaries? What work is yours to do? What am I reading?The Ferryman and his Wife by Frode Gryttenhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781643757452Wild Mercy: Living the Fierce and Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics by Mirabai Starrhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781683641568https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Up, Up, and Away by Jack HarrisWhat's for dinner? Mediterranean Chicken Quinoa Salad Shredded chicken 2 cups cooked quinoaCucumberCherry tomatoes halvedFresh spinach1 can chickpeas Fresh dillChopped olivesGoat cheese crumbledOlive oilApple cider vinegarFresh lemon juiceMinced garlic Pickled onions Salt and pepperInstructions: Marinate and cook chicken, shred into bite-sized pieces or use precooked rotisserie chicken.

Whether we like it or not, we'll come face-to-face with instances where our emotional reactions are critiqued by others. Sometimes we'll be told we're “too sensitive,” or that we shouldn't feel mad or upset over something. We can use affirmations to practice standing up for ourselves. Expressing your emotions is healthy and normal, and it's important to remember we express them in different ways.

This is one of those “who knows what's going to happen” years at the Oscars. And maybe the biggest question of the night is which movie will dominate: “Sinners,” with its record 16 nominations, or “One Battle After Another,” which is right behind with 13. One is a vampire movie set in the Jim Crow South, featuring not one but two Michael B. Jordans. The other imagines a leftist revolutionary outfit led by Black women — Teyana Taylor! — facing off against a racist, sexist, authoritarian government. No matter what, we're talking about a pretty exciting night — including for many Black people. But you know how it is with race and the Oscars. It is never that simple. Because there are some people who are not rooting for Paul Thomas Anderson's version of Black feminist-driven revolution. And a lot of those people are Black feminists themselves. Including Wesley's dear friend, the scholar Daphne A. Brooks. After leaving the theater, she sent him a text calling it “a Black feminist 911 emergency.” So before the biggest awards of the industry are handed out, Wesley invites Daphne on the show to ask her, “What's the 911 situation here?” Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Struggling with social skills practice that actually feels natural? This week on the podcast, we're diving deep into practical, respectful ways to support our neurodivergent kiddos as they navigate friendships and social situations—without the cringe! From conversation entry points (aka scripts that don't turn our kids into social robots!) to playful, low-stakes role-playing at home, Colleen shares hands-on strategies to boost confidence and make socializing just a little easier for everyone involved. If "Just be yourself!" doesn't cut it in your house, you're not alone. Listen to this episode and help your kids build real-world connections, one conversation at a time. Key Takeaways: Scripts as Scaffolding, Not Life Sentences: Social scripts aren't rigid lines for kids to memorize forever. Instead, they serve as supportive "training wheels" to help neurodivergent kids enter, maintain, and exit conversations more naturally—reducing anxiety and offering footholds toward authentic communication. Practice Through Playful, Low-Stakes Moments: Avoid pressuring your child with public corrections or high-stakes rehearsal before social events. Instead, incorporate side-by-side role play, movie-pause coaching, and micro-practicing to gently build and reinforce social skills without making kids feel evaluated. Measure Progress by Initiative, Not Perfection: Success isn't about perfect eye contact or flawless conversation. Celebrate when your child initiates conversations, adapts their scripts into their own words, or asks to socialize again. These signs mean scripts are becoming real-world skills! Parenting and homeschooling neurodivergent kids is tough—but you're already doing amazing work just by showing up, learning, and supporting your child's unique journey.

Wonder what your child's doodles mean?Dr. Josephine Deguara joins me to discuss how children often use drawing as an early language to express thoughts and emotions before they can fully use words. We talk about how adults should avoid interpreting drawings themselves and instead ask open-ended questions to understand the child's meaning. When children are given time, materials, and attentive listeners, drawing helps them process feelings, tell stories, and explore their identity.Prof Josephine Deguara is an Associate Professor and researcher in the Department of Early Childhood and Primary Education at the University of Malta. Her work focuses on early childhood pedagogy, policy, and practice, with a particular interest in how children express their thinking and experiences through drawing. She uses children's drawings as a way of understanding identity, belonging, play, and children's funds of knowledge through participatory, rights-based research approaches.

Recorded live from the beach at Future Proof in Miami, this special episode of Facts vs Feelings brings Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, to the main stage for a wide-ranging conversation on markets, macro, and the forces driving today's volatility.Against the backdrop of a rapidly shifting news cycle, Ryan and Sonu break down the dramatic swings in oil prices, the implications of geopolitical tensions for global markets, and what it all means for investors navigating an environment of inflationary growth. They also discuss why they remain constructive on equities despite recent volatility, how global market breadth is expanding beyond the U.S., and the portfolio positioning they believe makes sense in the current environment.From Fed policy and inflation trends to the strength of the labor market and signals from credit markets, the discussion highlights the difference between headline-driven fears and the underlying data shaping the economic outlook. Ryan and Sonu also explore where their outlook could be wrong, including risks tied to gold, small caps, and shifts in monetary policy.Key TakeawaysOil volatility matters: Large swings in energy prices can ripple through inflation, global trade, and market sentimentInflation may remain sticky: Core inflation near 3 percent could limit how aggressively the Federal Reserve cuts ratesGlobal markets are broadening: International equities have been contributing meaningfully to returns alongside U.S. stocksLabor markets remain resilient: Low layoffs and steady income growth continue supporting the economyPortfolio diversification still matters: Exposure across global equities, gold, and selective sector positioning may help navigate uncertaintyJump to:0:00 — Opening and Live Show Setup1:18 — Live from Miami!3:20 — Oil Market Whiplash and Why It Matters6:25 — Portfolio Positioning: Stocks, Gold, and Bonds9:05 — Signs of a Global Bull Market11:20 — Midterm Year Volatility and Market Corrections13:55 — The Fed, Inflation, and the Labor Market17:40 — How Carson Research Supports Advisors19:40 — Where Our Outlook Could Be Wrong23:20 — Signals from Tech, Staples, Credit, and Crypto28:40 — CPI, PCE, and Final ThoughtsConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

This is one of the most vulnerable conversations we've ever had on the podcast. In this episode, Deena shares something deeply personal: her experience with postpartum depression after the birth of her third baby. What started as exhaustion and overwhelm slowly turned into something heavier, constant tears, crushing shame, and dark thoughts she never imagined she would have as a mom.If you've ever felt like you're failing at motherhood… like everyone else is coping better than you… like your brain is telling you lies about who you are as a parent, this episode is for you. Together, Kristin and Deena talk honestly about what postpartum depression actually feels like from the inside, the warning signs that something wasn't right, and the moment Deena realized she needed help. They also talk about the power of saying the scary thoughts out loud, the role of support from partners and friends, and the steps that helped Deena begin to find her way back.
In this episode, you'll hear:• What postpartum depression can actually look like in real life• The thoughts many struggling moms are too ashamed to say out loud• Why postpartum depression has nothing to do with being a “good” or “bad” mom• How to recognize when it's time to reach out for help• The small steps that can start the path toward feeling betterIf you are struggling, please know this: there's nothing wrong with you, you are not alone, and help is out there. This conversation is raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful, because no mom should have to carry this alone. You can also contact Postpartum Support International (they have free helplines, tests, and local providers). If you're in immediate danger, call or text 988 in the U.S. If you're elsewhere, your local emergency number can connect you to crisis support.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Have you felt yourself revert back to a child in the way you react to your kids, or a particular situation?Watching from the sideline, Josh recently had a moment where his inner child wounds collided with the reality of the his son's experience on the soccer field. When we come face-to-face with the dissonance between the way we REACT, and the way we want to ACT, something deeper is often at play. Becoming mindful of those moments, and how we respond to them, influences what we pass onto our kids. In this episode, Josh & Christi talk about how to identify an unhealed inner child “part” of yourself, give examples of redeemed and unhealed epigenetic transmission, and provide a beautiful example of how Jesus meets us right where we are. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:15 The messages we picked up in childhood in order to fit in6:15 How to identify an unhealed inner child “part” of yourself9:13 Examples of epigenetic transmission of unresolved inner child pain17:37 The motivation of our parental decisions20:30 Disappointment, condemnation, and the feelings of Holy Week28:56 How Jesus' restoration of Peter is for all of us Show Notes:Easter is coming up!

In this episode, I talk with Gem Fadling, co-founder of Unhurried Living, about cultivating a deeper relationship with Jesus in the middle of a busy, distracted world. This conversation opened my heart and challenged me in the best possible way! Instead of striving to produce spiritual “fruit,” Gem explains that Jesus invites us to simply remain connected to Him, as a branch to the vine in John 15. Through practices like silence, solitude, and intentional time with God, we can learn to live from a place of presence rather than hurry. Full disclosure: after my interview with Gem, I practiced what she suggested and-WOW!!!!! I experienced God’s refreshing peace and perspective in a way I want you to experience, too. This conversation is a refreshing reminder that intimacy with Jesus doesn’t come from doing more—but from slowing down enough to simply be with Him.

Infertility, IVF, donor eggs, and pregnancy loss — how do you keep going after years of grief and loss on the journey to parenthood?In this episode, Constance Lewis shares her six-year infertility journey that included low AMH, stage 2 endometriosis, multiple failed IUIs, three rounds of IVF, and two miscarriages. After learning her husband carried a balanced translocation that made pregnancy extremely unlikely, they faced the difficult decision to pursue donor eggs in order to continue growing their family.Constance opens up about the emotional impact of infertility and losing a baby, the complicated feelings that can follow pregnancy after loss, and the reality that IVF is not always the guarantee people think it is. She also shares how her family navigated a serious medical diagnosis for their son and how that experience inspired the children's book Miles and the Colorful Capes of Feelings.This conversation explores infertility, IVF after miscarriage, choosing donor eggs, pregnancy after loss, baby loss, and finding hope through grief and loss while building a family.

On today's episode, Darcie is back, and we're diving into one of our favorite lessons from Finding Hope—Parallel Feelings.After hearing testimony after testimony from people in recovery and from loved ones, we began to notice something surprising: both groups often experience many of the same emotions, but respond to them in very different ways.In this episode, we unpack the parallel feelings and traits of those who love someone struggling with substances and those who are battling addiction themselves. As we name the similarities, we discover that awareness isn't meant to bring shame—it gives us the opportunity to pause, extend grace, and choose healthier patterns. Understanding these parallels can soften hearts, break cycles, and move us one step closer to healing for everyone involved.FindingHope.Today HopeAfterLoss.Today FHRetreat.com HALRetreat.com

Feelings are powerful, but they aren't always trustworthy. In this conversation, Dot and Cara talk about the connection between our thoughts, our emotions, and the choices we make. It's easy to let our emotions define our identity, but instead of ignoring those emotions or being ruled by them, we can hold them up against Truth and let God shape how we see ourselves.

For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.”

Artificial intelligence continues to dominate headlines and investment flows, but understanding the technology behind it requires looking beyond the hype and into the structure of the ecosystem itself. In this episode of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, sit down with Steve Hou of Bloomberg and Kai Wu of Sparkline Capital to explore how the AI economy actually works, from the infrastructure powering it to the applications beginning to reshape industries.The conversation moves through the full AI stack, including semiconductors, computing power, models, and software layers, while also examining how competition, innovation, and investment are shaping the next phase of the technology cycle. Key Takeaways• The AI stack matters: Chips, infrastructure, models, and applications each play a distinct role in the ecosystem• Compute demand keeps expanding: AI adoption continues to drive demand for semiconductors and data infrastructure• Competition is accelerating: Innovation across companies may push AI models toward commoditization• Productivity gains will vary: Some sectors may see faster AI-driven improvements than others• Markets are pricing the shift: Investor expectations around AI continue shaping technology and equity marketsSteve Hou and Kai Wu are not affiliated with CWM, LLC.

Kids experience a lot of emotions—and sometimes those feelings can change by the minute. As parents, it can be hard to know how to help our kids understand what they're feeling and express themselves in healthy ways.  In this episode we sit down with author, speaker, and family coach Dr. Josh Straub to talk about why emotional awareness matters and how parents can create space for meaningful conversations about feelings. Josh and his wife, Christi, have dedicated their work to helping families grow in emotional intelligence and healthy relationships. Together, they've written a children's book series designed to help kids name and navigate their emotions. In this conversation, they discuss why helping kids identify their feelings is such an important part of spiritual and emotional growth, how simple tools can help kids express what they're feeling, and how parents can guide their children to invite God into every emotion—from anger and worry to joy and gratitude. If you've ever wondered how to help your child talk about big emotions—or how to respond with empathy when feelings run high—this episode offers practical encouragement and simple ways to start meaningful, faith-centered conversations at home. -- Meet our guest: Josh Straub Book: What Am I Feeling - by Dr. Josh Straub & Christi Straub Book: What Do I Do With Anger?

What is the role of feelings in romantic relationships and marriage? Dr. Sri explains that while emotions play an important role in relationships, they cannot be the foundation of love. Instead, real love requires commitment, clear judgment, and growth through challenges. _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.

Alix & Kayla dive into one of the most requested topics from the Sister Wives community: the experience of bi women in relationships with male partners. After asking their audience for stories and questions, they unpack everything from “allowed cheating” dynamics and open relationships to the emotional reality of choosing monogamy when you're attracted to more than one gender. The conversation explores the complicated feelings that can come up in long-term relationships—like grieving parts of your identity, navigating attraction to others, and figuring out what honesty actually looks like in a committed partnership. They also discuss common assumptions people have about bisexual women, including threesomes, monogamy, and whether partners feel threatened by same-sex attraction. Through listener submissions and personal experiences, Alix & Kayla break down the nuances of bisexual identity, relationships, and the messy gray areas that rarely get talked about.01:40 – Marriage “Myth or Truth” Game 04:00 – Living & Recording in Nicaragua 06:30 – Relationship Habits & Fight Dynamics 10:20 – Today's Topic: Bi Women With Male Partners 11:00 – Is the Word “Female” Offensive? 12:00 – Questions From the Sister Wives Community 14:00 – Do Bi Women's Partners Support LGBTQ+ Rights? 15:10 – The Stereotypes: Threesomes & Open Relationships 16:20 – Listener Story: Open Marriage With Women Only 18:00 – What It's Like “Turning Off” Part of Your Identity 21:10 – The “Open Energy” of Being Single vs. Married 23:30 – Grieving a Lifestyle or Version of Yourself 26:30 – Attraction Outside of a Relationship 27:50 – “Allowed Cheating” With Women 30:00 – Do Men See Women as Less of a Threat? 39:30 – When an Old Flame Reaches Out 41:00 – Why Waiting Before Responding Matters 45:00 – Honesty vs. Protecting Your Partner's Feelings 53:30 – Is It Okay to Talk to Friends About Relationship Problems? 55:00 – Deal Breakers in Relationships

Dear Listener, does communicating with your partner sometimes feel like an uphill battle? Do you find yourself saying things you don't mean—or struggling to say what you do mean without it landing as an attack? What if there were a way to communicate that actually brought you closer, even during conflict?In this episode, we're joined by Relationship Center therapist and couples counselor Nicole Penrod to explore Nonviolent Communication (NVC)—a powerful framework for transforming how you and your partner talk to each other.Nicole breaks down the basics of NVC (also called compassionate communication), originally developed by Marshall Rosenberg. At its core, NVC helps us move from reactive, judgmental communication to empathetic, connecting conversation. Think less jackal (defensive, fear-driven) and more giraffe (big-hearted, slow, and steady).We walk through the four steps of NVC—Observation, Feeling, Need, Request (OFNR)—with real examples, including Jessica getting pretend-mad at Josh about socks on the floor. You'll learn why "I feel abandoned" isn't actually a feeling, how to set your partner up for success (and vice versa!), and why asking for what you want can help heal attachment wounds.If you're tired of the same old fights and ready to communicate with more compassion—for your partner and yourself—this episode is for you.Key Takeaways0:00 Intro06:07 What is NVC?10:45 What are the NVC basics?18:28 Name the Need21:04 Requests Without Demands32:01 How do I actually use NVC with my partner?Resources and linksDecolonizing NVCBook: Decolonizing Non-Violent CommunicationPodcast episode with the author: https://www.skepticspath.org/podcast/decolonizing-nonviolent-communication-with-meenadchi/Feelings and Needs Lists: https://www.sociocracyforall.org/nvc-feelings-and-needs-list/Nicole's favorite video introduction of the basics: https://roxannemanning.com/an-introduction-to-nvc/On the 4 listening modes: https://seedofpeace.org/nvc-introductory-articles/four-ways-of-listening/Have a question or comment?

In a culture that is more connected yet more lonely than ever, how can ministry leaders create worship experiences that resonate with young adults without falling into the trap of "gimmicks"? In this episode, Chris Sasser and Anthony Rogers join Brandon Collins and Renée to explore the tension between feelings and truth, the importance of authenticity, and how to bridge the generational gap in worship. The Role of Feelings and "Heart Language" in Worship A common observation among young adults is the phrase, "You could just feel the Spirit in the room." While the Holy Spirit is always present, the way we experience that presence can be deeply emotional.   Feelings as a Gateway: Emotions are a natural human response to God's presence; they allow us to become small so God can become big.     The "Heart Language" of Music: Style and phraseology can act as a "heart language" that connects with people on a core level, yet growth often happens when we are stretched beyond our own preferences.     Feelings vs. Truth: While feelings move people, leaders shouldn't rely on them exclusively.  

Teen mental health is in crisis—but what if some of the solutions we've embraced are actually making things worse?In this episode, I unpack a surprising finding highlighted by Olga Khazan in The Atlantic: a school program that taught teenagers dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills resulted in worse mental-health outcomes and poorer relationships with parents compared with a standard health class.How could a respected therapy approach backfire when taught in schools?We explore an uncomfortable possibility: when psychological frameworks are applied universally to healthy teens, they can sometimes create iatrogenic effects—harm caused by the intervention itself.In this episode we discuss:• Why many well-intentioned youth programs—from D.A.R.E. to self-esteem curricula—have failed to deliver results• How teaching adolescents to constantly monitor their thoughts can unintentionally increase distress• The difference between resilience and psychological capacity• Why teenagers may need challenge, responsibility, and competence-building more than emotional analysis• Practical ways parents can help children develop the ability to handle stress, failure, and uncertaintyParents today are told their children are fragile and constantly at risk. But raising mentally healthy adults may depend on something different: building the capacity to carry the weight of life rather than trying to remove the weight altogether.This episode offers a practical framework for parents who want to support their children's mental health without unintentionally undermining their strength.

Episode 3935: Jay and Heather Harrington explore why obstacles feel more prominent than advantages, drawing on research from Professors Tom Gilovich and Shari Davidai to explain the psychological bias behind this imbalance. They reveal how this tendency fuels resentment and diminishes gratitude, while offering practical strategies to intentionally cultivate a more appreciative mindset. Their insights provide a powerful framework for shifting perspective and experiencing greater happiness, health, and success. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.lifeandwhim.com/first-moments-blog/lifes-headwinds-and-tailwinds Quotes to ponder: "I think the big takeaway from all of this is that, like most good things in life, gratitude doesn't come easy. Feelings of gratitude are not instinctual or automatic, they must be cultivated." "Feelings of gratitude are not instinctual or automatic, they must be cultivated." "Numerous studies have shown that feeling more grateful about one's circumstances leads to a multitude of benefits, including more happiness, more friends, better health, and career success, to name a few."

Few feelings cut as deeply as the belief that you are worthless. Words spoken in cruelty, rejection from people you trusted, or seasons of isolation can plant seeds of doubt that linger for years. Even when circumstances improve, the internal narrative can remain harsh and unrelenting. Psalm 147:3 offers a tender promise: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” God does not dismiss your pain or minimize your experiences. He sees the wounds others may never fully understand. And He moves toward the brokenhearted, not away from them. Feelings of worthlessness often grow from repeated messages—spoken or implied—that you are not enough. But Scripture tells a different story. You are created in God’s image. You are His workmanship. You are loved with a love that cannot be separated from you. Your value is not determined by how others treated you, how you were compared, or how you felt overlooked. Your worth was established the moment God created you—and confirmed at the cross. Even when mental and emotional struggles linger, they do not define you. They are battles, not identities. God’s Word speaks a steadier truth: you are His beloved child. If today you feel small, unseen, or insignificant, remember this—God does not measure you by performance, popularity, or perfection. He calls you His own. And what He declares over you carries more weight than any voice that tried to tear you down. Let Him begin healing the places where lies took root. Let Him bind the wounds others caused. Let His truth speak louder than your doubt. You are not worthless. You are deeply loved. Main Takeaways Feelings of worthlessness often stem from past wounds and rejection. God draws near to the brokenhearted and actively heals. Your value is rooted in being created in God’s image. Other people’s treatment of you does not determine your worth. God’s love is constant and cannot be taken away.

Another major first time move in the most powerful group on Earth. First lady Melania Trump has taken the gavel at the UN Security Council and ended a 70 year precedent. It's strategic visibility. America doesn't act restrained or pretend. The highest expression of power is dominance with grace. Speak softly, and always with that stick. Unseen and unfunded agendas often involve children. Symbols become precedents. Then precedents become the new normal. Defining leadership is a new ball game today. Dominance without humiliation. Nobody is talking about nukes. Internal data base leaks are deliberate by federal employees. Pray for all the people losing their lives. The UFO show is coming up. The zoomies are getting very bold. The Texas elections seem spotty. Some book deal instructions. Read your Bible to learn this. Karma is not always a pleasant teacher.

This episode originally ran in 2016, and we pulled it out of the archives to share with you here, and to kick off a new season of TTFA Anthologies, where we pull together a themed season of some of our best episodes. This season the theme is Grief: It's Complicated…stories about the kind of grief you won't find in the sympathy card aisle. Stories like the one you're about hear. We have a separate podcast feed for these seasons. It's linked in our show description, or you can find it on your podcast app by searching TTFA Anthologies. _ Damon's grandparents were murdered 18 months before he was born. He never knew them, but their deaths — and the trial for their killer — defined much of his childhood.  For nearly three decades, Damon's mother has attended every parole hearing to deliver a victim impact statement.  When we meet Damon, there is another such hearing coming up, but his mother is unable to attend. For the first time in his life, Damon prepares to see his grandparents' murderer face to face.   Originally published 1/23/2017 – Fordham University's Master of Social Work program is ranked among the nation's top 8% of graduate social work programs by the U.S. News & World Report.

Team USA's men's and women's hockey teams have returned from Milan with the double gold, but Roy is not happy with the men's behavior in the wake of the gold medal win. The whole gang is also unhappy with the behavior of some hockey reporters around the country, who are asking players returning from Milan about their Olympic experiences, including Macklin Celebrini and Connor McDavid. Rose sets the stage for the final sprint of the season in Rosa En Un Minuto, and in wins and fails, Dave loves a new goalie celebration, Ethan celebrates Aleksander Barkov, Rose makes fun of the Maple Leafs, and Roy highlights Connor McDavid coming up short again. Then, Jonathan Zaslow joins the show to discuss the reaction to the men's behavior in the locker room following the gold medal match and the Florida Panthers' dominant win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in their return to action Thursday.
