In this lecture, Lawrence Lockett, Jr. speaks about intimacy with Jesus as something that requires pursuit, attention, and protection from distraction. He says that many believers want to know Jesus deeply, but daily life, devices, and competing priorities pull the heart in different directions.He presents the message as a warning about “the allure of other loves,” using Exodus 20, Matthew 6, and 1 John 5 to show that Scripture consistently asks who or what has the heart. He explains that idolatry is not only about statues or ancient practices, but also about misplaced worship and divided allegiance.The lecture focuses first on the first and second commandments. He says God's command is exclusive: no other gods and no created image of God. He describes idols as both false gods and false versions of the true God, and says that people still remake God according to their own preferences, ideologies, or desires.He also distinguishes between “idols by nature” and “idols by placement.” Some idols are openly sinful, while others begin as good gifts such as careers, relationships, children, money, or ministry. The danger, he says, is when a gift becomes ultimate and replaces the Giver.A second section turns to Colossians 3 and the idea that idols are redirected rather than simply removed. He says worship begins in the mind, and repeated influences shape the channels of thought that eventually shape the heart. Christian change, he argues, is not mainly behavior modification but renewed thinking that leads worship back to God.In the final section, he returns to Exodus and Revelation to stress that God begins with grace before giving commands. He says Jesus calls wandering believers to remember, repent, and return to their first love. The message ends by pointing to Jesus as the image of the invisible God, who restores intimacy with God and makes lesser loves lose their appeal.

In Part 1.3 of Married Philosophers Discuss Confessions, Abigail L. Rosenthal and Jerry L. Martin continue their conversation on Part One of Confessions of a Young Philosopher.After her innocence has been taken through seduction and manipulation, Abigail confronts a more difficult truth: beneath the violation, there may also have been something like love. Looking back on her first romantic relationship, she reflects on the authority of intuition, the pity that can arise from love, and the desire to repair an experience that cannot be undone.Jerry and Abigail examine the mixture of manipulation and romantic idealization that shaped the relationship, including the young man's vision of Abigail as Dante's Beatrice and an embodiment of the eternal feminine. Yet the episode moves beyond the question of whether he loved her. It asks what happens when first love, injury, innocence, and philosophical longing become impossible to separate.At the riverbank, believing herself ruined and without a future, Abigail considers whether her life has ended along with her innocence. Philosophy offers another possibility: to continue the argument, live through the unanswered questions, and pursue the unfinished love of wisdom.The conversation ultimately turns toward a question Abigail would later ask two women considering suicide: What did you originally want before disappointment made life seem hopeless?After innocence, what remains is not a simple answer, but the unfinished work of understanding love, injury, and the life one had originally hoped to live.***Join the discussion and explore a life lived philosophically.Get the book, Confessions of a Young Philosopher: https://a.co/d/1ypibqoExplore more about Confessions of a Young Philosopher.Dr. Abigail L.

What if the most important business strategy you could invest in — was learning to truly value yourself first?In this deeply inspiring episode of The True You Podcast, host Paula Burns sits down with Lynette A. Joseph — Self-Mastery Mentor, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of F.L.Y. (First Love Yourself with Lynette) — for a conversation that sits right at the intersection of personal transformation and purposeful business building.Lynette's message is both beautifully simple and profoundly powerful: before you can show up confidently in your business, attract high-value collaborations, and position yourself as the go-to expert in your industry — you have to do the inner work first. You have to learn to love yourself, know your worth, and uncover the Unique Core Value that only you bring to the world.This is not abstract advice. Lynette has lived it. Having navigated her own journey through self-doubt, low self-worth, and personal challenges, she rebuilt her relationship with herself from the inside out — and now she dedicates her work to helping other entrepreneurs and purpose-driven women do exactly the same.Through F.L.Y., Lynette helps her clients uncover their Unique Core Value, step into their authentic power, and confidently position themselves as the go-to expert in their industry — attracting high-value collaboration partnerships that align with who they truly are and what they are truly here to do.In this episode, we explore:— How Lynette overcame self-doubt and low self-worth to build a business and movement rooted in authentic value — and what she wants every woman struggling with the same thing to know— What your Unique Core Value is, how to uncover it, and why knowing it changes everything about how you show up, communicate, and attract opportunities— How to confidently position yourself as the go-to expert in your industry when you still have moments of doubting whether you are enough— The F.L.Y. philosophy — First Love Yourself — and why self-love is not a soft concept but a bold, strategic foundation for a life and business built on purpose— What it truly means to create a life and business aligned with who you are — and why that alignment is the difference between struggling and thrivingWhether you are an entrepreneur feeling undervalued and unseen, a purpose-driven woman who knows she has more to give, or someone who simply needs reminding that loving yourself first is not selfish — it is essential — this episode is for you.Connect with Lynette:Step Into Your HIGH VALUE SELF in Just 5 MINUTES https://bit.ly/3HRr0QV Join the Community Connect with like-minded entrepreneurs on the journey of self-mastery and becoming a High-Value Individual. https://bit.ly/41tOvps #TrueYouPodcast #LynetteJoseph #FirstLoveYourself #FLY #SelfMastery #SelfWorth #SelfDoubt #CoreValue #PurposeDrivenBusiness #GoToExpert #WomenEntrepreneurs #AuthenticValue #HighValueCollaboration #WomenEmpowerment #ProfessionalWomen #BusinessMindset #SelfLove
In this lecture, Ian introduces Jonah chapter 4 and continues a series on “first love,” focusing on the danger of cynicism toward God. He explains that Jonah is not mainly a story about a big fish, but about a prophet who believes in God and yet becomes cynical about God's character and actions.He briefly reviews Jonah's story: God sends Jonah to Nineveh, Jonah runs away, a storm leads to Jonah being thrown overboard, he is swallowed by a fish, and then he obeys God and preaches to Nineveh. The city repents, God relents from destruction, and Jonah becomes angry because he feared God would show mercy.Ian then describes Jonah's withdrawal, anger, and desire to be left alone as signs of cynicism. He argues that cynicism often begins with hurt, then becomes self-protection through distance and observation instead of trust and participation. He compares this with the story of a woman in the film *Safe*, whose isolation grows as she seeks safety.The lecture also outlines the costs of cynicism. Ian says it costs people their hearts, their witness, and their progress in faith. He gives examples of people who retain knowledge about Christianity but lose warmth and passion, and he uses other illustrations to show how cynicism can produce distance, suspicion, and paralysis.He then turns practical, offering guidance for helping a friend who may be cynical: acknowledge real pain, avoid dismissing it, and gently resist treating past hurt as the full story of the future. He also says that for oneself, the key is to admit that the issue is not God needing to apologize, but our need to return to trust and love.Ian ends by emphasizing God's character as merciful, compassionate, slow to anger, and full of unfailing love. He connects this to the unexpected ways God works in Scripture, especially through Jesus' death and resurrection, and closes by praying for a community marked by restored first love and resistance to cynicism.
Who are those who "have ears to hear" according to Jesus? Am I a "lone ranger Christian," and should I be concerned? If I don't speak in tongues, do I not have the Holy Spirit? What's the meaning of the Revelation 2 warning to the church of Ephesus about forgetting their first love? Are we as believers regarded as "sinners" or "saints" or both? Is the doctrine of original sin (sin and death through Adam) biblical or not? What does the word "word" (logos and its forms) mean in Acts (and James): the law, the gospel, or either depending on the context?

Today, we're falling in love with the empathetic, bittersweet Peabody Award-winning Netflix series Forever, a refreshing update to the Judy Blume classic, now set in Los Angeles with two Black leads. In our conversation, host Gabe González and showrunner and creator Mara Brock Akil dig into the legacy and revived fandom of her first series Girlfriends, the importance of apprenticeship and craft in TV, and why she wanted to update Forever for today's Black families, especially young Black men and the parents who want to keep them safe while also letting them flourish. Then Caty Borum, the pod's Executive Producer and Executive Director for The Center for Media & Social Impact, chats with Dr. Yalda T. Uhls, a research scientist, educator, author, and expert on the science of media and adolescent development, about teens' hunger for stories where parents and adolescents love and care for each other and work out their issues in a healthy way. Turns out the kids really are alright!

In Part 1.2 of Married Philosophers Discuss Confessions, Abigail L. Rosenthal and Jerry L. Martin continue their conversation on Part One of Confessions of a Young Philosopher.In Paris, a café conversation between two young philosophy students turns suddenly from politics to love. What begins as argument and intellectual sparring becomes Abigail's first romantic encounter, forcing her to confront not only desire, but innocence, vulnerability, and the meaning of a woman's body in the eyes of another.Jerry and Abigail explore the unsettling philosophical backdrop of the scene: a world shaped by Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Darwin, Freud, and Marx, where innocence can no longer easily be defended. Abigail reflects on erotic validation, existential terror, the loss of a hoped-for future, and what she calls “the rights of inhibition” — the possibility that hesitation and restraint may protect something real.Join the discussion and explore a life lived philosophically.Get the book, Confessions of a Young Philosopher: https://a.co/d/1ypibqoExplore more about Confessions of a Young Philosopher.Dr. Abigail L.

This lecture focuses on Revelation 2:1–7, the message to the church in Ephesus. Jesus commends the church for hard work, endurance, doctrinal discernment, and for rejecting false apostles and the evil practices of the Nicolaitans.The central concern is that the Ephesians have abandoned their first love. The speaker explains that the passage warns against a faith where service and orthodoxy remain, but love for Christ and others has cooled.The sermon then emphasizes Jesus' call to remember, repent, and return. Believers are urged to remember their former closeness to Christ, repent of divided affections and spiritual drift, and return to the works they did at first, now rooted in love rather than duty.The speaker also connects this passage to the question Jesus asks Peter: “Do you love me?” He argues that Christianity is not mainly about performance, but about delighting in the Lord, with good works flowing from love.The lecture closes with practical suggestions: set aside time to remember one's story, identify competing affections, confess spiritual drift, and return to practices that cultivate communion with Jesus.

F.L.Y. (First Love Yourself): Healthy Relationships, Belonging & the Health of Our Lives by WNHH Community Radio
This episode unpacks Revelation 2:1–7, examining Christ's letter to the church in Ephesus: His commendation for their hard work and discernment, His rebuke for losing their first love, and the call to remember, repent, and return. The message contrasts duty with devotion, warns against compromise and false teaching, and highlights the promise of the tree of life for those who overcome.
This episode explains the church of Ephesus message: although they did many good works, they had left their first love. We explore how good things and busy service can quietly replace a deep love for God and call listeners to repent and return to the foundational relationship with Christ.

New Sermon Series: “Letters to Lampstands: Christ's Call to His Churches”Series message 1Text: Revelation 2:1-7Do you find yourself often irritated with others or with your circumstances? Are you a complainer more than a pray-er or praise giver? The Ephesians showed perseverance and good works, but their service and fellowship was cold and mechanical. Their doctrine was sound but they had lost their first love. Jesus called them to repent and return to their early devotion and enthusiasm for the heart of the gospel. 6 21 26 First Love Colin Seager
In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker revisit a dramatic Dear Abby letter from December 11, 1996 about first love, lost opportunities, failed marriages, emotional closure, and the person who got away. JJ and Tucker unpack whether the woman was grieving a real relationship or an idealized version of someone she never truly knew. They discuss limerence, high school sweethearts, romantic nostalgia, emotional projection, marriage, parental influence, and the danger of building an entire life story around an unavailable person. The conversation also imagines the experience from the man's perspective: What would it feel like to receive a phone call from someone who had secretly loved you for 30 years? Did he tell his wife? Did he later recognize himself in the nationally published column? And did the 42-minute conversation finally provide closure—or simply end the fantasy? Naturally, the episode also wanders into Batman Forever, Seal's "Kiss from a Rose," Bose Wave radios, Heidi Klum's Halloween costumes, Janelle Monáe, awkward phone calls, surprise adult children, fatherhood, and a hypothetical son named Davis who prefers sweetened iced tea.

FANCY YOURSELF A CELEB EXPERT? Take The Spill's Pop Culture Quiz here.There's a brand-new young adult romance that's completely binge-worthy, and if you've been rewatching The Summer I Turned Pretty and Off Campus, this is your next obsession. It's set in a picturesque lakeside town with impossibly attractive brothers, and characters navigating first love, secrets, and the kind of emotional complexity that makes you want to keep pressing play at 2am.Plus, a darkly comic slasher that's an absolute masterpiece has just hit streaming services. Jason Segel and Samara Weaving have come out with one of the best screams in the business, playing a married couple whose relationship has deteriorated so badly that they've each independently decided to kill each other on a romantic getaway. It's hilarious, chaotic, properly gory, and proof that sometimes watching a relationship implode in the most absurd, violent way possible is the funniest thing you'll see all week.

Today we'll be looking at the Lord's postcard to the church in Ephesus in Revelation chapter two. While they were commended for some things, they had walked away from their first love. Their love had grown cold. It happened to the Ephesians and it's still happening to Christians today. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111
What was superstar #MichaelJackson really like when he wasn't performing, particularly when he was much younger? Darls Centola, who wrote "Finding Truth With Michael: A Memoir of Friendship, Faith, and First Love" takes us there in a way that's never been done before. Darls befriended Michael and sister La Toya during their high school years, and she was one of the only friends outside of the Jackson's performing world to cut through all the noise and just be a friend. The memoir chronicles the everyday life of the famous Jacksons, from roller skating in Sherman Oaks to joyriding in her beat-up yellow Toyota. It also talks about the faith they shared, and the crush she ultimately developed on the superstar Michael Finding Truth With Michael offers a personal look at Michael away from peering eyes, and is certainly well-timed with the release of the film "Michael," sharing his nephew Jaafar Jackson. Please find my full interview with Darls on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

This message connects everyday marriage struggles with a deeper spiritual truth about drifting hearts. A quiet drift can happen in any relationship, so it's important to look honestly at your relationship and remember what first brought you together.

Jennie Garth is here! The way 90210 defined my childhood…this was more than nostalgic. We get into her new memoir I Choose Me and why she finally felt ready to share this version of herself. We go deep on 90210, from landing the role of Kelly Taylor, what that level of fame actually felt like, becoming a mom while filming, and how real life mirrored the drama on screen. She opens up about her surprising real first love, losing 2 cast members, her struggles with anxiety and depression before anyone was talking about it, and what rock bottom and recovery looked like. We also talk the mindset shifts that helped her find clarity and actually choose herself.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
