Sermon Notes (PDF): BLANKHint: Highlight blanks above for answers! Audio Transcript Open up your Bibles with me, please, to the book of Matthew in chapter 5.Today we are going to talk about influencers.Now the young people here already know something about this, but those of us whoare older, this is, I'm in that category too, this might be a newconcept to some of this. But what is an influencer? We have a definition here, canwe get the definition up on the screen? This is what an influencer is, okay?It's a social media professional who has built a sizable following around arelevant topic and can therefore influence their followers to take anaction thanks to their credibility and authority. That's what a social mediainfluencer or an influencer, that's what that is. And those relevant topics,that's a lot of different things, right? It's food, health, fashion, pop culture,travel, gaming, beauty, you name it, there's somebody out there that is aninfluencer. They are internet celebrities. And by that, some of them were alreadycelebrities and they got online. And some of them are people who becamecelebrities because of their online presence. There's lists of the top ones.I was looking up all these lists and you can do this sometime, not now, but I waslooking up lists of who were the biggest influencers of our day. And forsake of time today, I'm just going to share top five. Here's the top five,according to this one list for whatever that's worth. The number one biggestinfluencer, Cristiano Ronaldo. I don't even know who she is. Is anybody a soccerplayer? Not football. That is a different sport. We call it soccer like goodAmericans. Okay, so apparently Cristiano Ronaldo is a soccer player and on thislist, the biggest influencer in the world currently. Number two, I think I heard ofher. It's Selena Gomez. Isn't she like an, is she an actor or something? Okay,actor, singer. Okay, all right. Number three is Mr. Beast. Probably not his realname. Number four is Lionel Messi. Messi, another soccer player.What? I played soccer in high school and college and it was not popular back then.Now two of the top five so far. Oh, number five. I know number five. Number five isthe Biebs as his followers like to call him. Justin Bieber. That's number five.Did you know God has a face for his brand? God has a spokesman. God has someoneto endorse his relevant topic. Do you know who that is? It's you. It's you.Think it by your heads with me and I want you to pray for me. Once we turn to God'sword that I'll be faithful to communicate it and I will pray for you tohave a heart open to receive what God has for us today. Let's pray.Father, your word tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing through theWord of Christ. The only transformation that can happen is supernaturaltransformation. It has to come from you. And I pray, Father, that as we encounteryour word, as we encounter you, we are profoundly changed. We pray these thingsin Jesus' name. And all of God's people said, "Amen." We just finished what waslike an eight-week series on the Beatitudes. And the Beatitudes describewhat a follower of Jesus is like. Verses 13 through 16 describe the function ofthe believer in the world. You are God's influencer. You are. When you live asdescribed in the Beatitudes, you influence the world. Like, well, how does thathappen? Well, let's see what our Lord says. Matthew 5 verse 13. He says, "You are thesalt of the earth. But if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness berestored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out andtrampled under people's feet. You are the light of the world." A city said on ahill cannot be hidden, nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Buton a stand, and it gives light to all in the house, in the same way, let yourlight shine before others so that they may see your good works and give gloryto your Father who is in heaven. Jesus here is saying, okay, here's the shortversion. The world is decaying and it's dark. Have you noticed? What it needs issalt and light. Let's talk about salt and light for a second, shall we? When itcomes to salt, look, in our day, we kind of take salt for granted. It's everywhere.It's on every table, it's in your cabinet. It's everywhere, and it's cheap. But thepeople that lived in Jesus' day would have had a different view of salt. To theGreeks, they considered salt divine. The Romans said that there is nothing morevaluable than two things, sun and salt. In fact, Roman soldiers were actually paidin salt. Do you ever hear that expression? He's not worth a salt? Ask where that comesfrom. True story. It was so important in so many ways. People would use salt inmaking covenants. Salt was used in Old Testament sacrifices. Salt was used forflavor, obviously. Salt is an antiseptic. Like, well, how did Jesus mean it?I believe the main primary focus of Jesus' teaching here is salt as apreservative. Salt prevents corruption. You see, in Jesus' day, they didn't haverefrigerators. They didn't have a deep-freeze chest in the garage like we do.So in order to preserve meat, you would literally have to rub salt into the meatto keep it from spoiling. And in the same way, Jesus' followers are the salt in themeat of the world. We are what's preventing the world from totally rotting right now.But the Bible says, 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, the book of Revelation, whenthe church is removed from the world in the rapture, the world is going to go tohell. It's going to get horrific because the salt's been removed. It's gonna rot.So the implication here of salt is that the world is polluted and corrupt and ithas this tendency to rot like meat. And what it needs is your influence. It needs salt.Let's talk about light for a second. Also, much more valuable in Jesus' daybecause, again, we kind of take it for granted, don't we? We're so used to havingelectricity and flicking the lights on. But don't we just lose our minds when astorm takes the power out and there's no light? I know our house does, but theydidn't have that electricity. So light would have been a much more valuablething to them. But you know, Jesus said, "I am the light of the world," back in Johnchapter 8 and verse 12, "and here Jesus says you are the light of the world." Sowhich is it? And the answer is both. It's both. It's His light through us. Just asthe moon doesn't produce its own light but reflects the light of the sun, that'show it is for followers of Christ. We are to reflect the light of Jesus Christ inour lives. Now when the Bible talks about light, it's talking about revealingGod's truth. This is what the Bible refers to when it's talking about light,right? Psalm 119, 105, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." Solight has to do with the revelation of God's Word. It is the light that tells usthe cause of the darkness. It is the light that shows us that our problem iswe're separated from God. But it's also the light that shows us the way out ofdarkness. It's the light of God's Word that says there is a way to get back toGod, and that is through Jesus Christ, who died for your sins, who rose from thedead to give you eternal life. It's through faith in Him. That's how you get back toGod, and that is only revealed in the light of God's Word. So the implicationwhen Jesus talks about light is this, the world is dark. Sin has made this world avery dark place. What it needs is light. It needs your influence. So on youroutline, I encourage you to take some notes here. Here's the sermon, "As Salt andLight, I am God's Influencer. I am. And if you claim to be a follower of JesusChrist, you are an influencer for God. You are." Let's unpack this a little bit.Shall we, number one, write this down, "My influence is expected." My influence isexpected. Interestingly, in the Greek, we talked about this in the Beatitudes. It'shere too. You know, you as emphatic in the Greek. So literally, you couldtranslate this. Jesus is saying, "You are the only light in the world. You are theonly salt in the world." You know, I was thinking about salt this week. You know,something really interesting about salt, as valuable as it is, it's really no goodon its own, is it? It's not good by itself. I mean, when was the last time youwent to Pantera bread, and you said, "Yeah, you know what? I'm not really that hungry.I'm just gonna have a bowl of salt." Like, who does that? It's no good on its own.Salt is always used for something else. And you know, thinking about that further,light is the same, isn't it? Light is always used for something else. Meaningthis, when you turn on the lights, you don't do it because you're like, "You knowwhat, man? I just really like light." Like, nobody just really likes light. Why do youturn it on? Because it's light that illuminates what's in the room. Light hasno other purpose. So salt and light always used for something else. Always usedfor something else. You know what? You are so valuable. You are. But like salt,you're not valuable for yourself. Here's what I mean. If all God wanted was for youto be saved, then the moment you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, Godwould just take you to heaven. Like, we're done. Good job. I wanted you to be saved.But He doesn't do that. God, when you're saved, God keeps you on this earth for onereason. It's influence. He keeps you here to be salt and light. You see, that's whatJesus is saying here. There is no salt and light except from a Christ followerwho is going to show and tell the people around you about Jesus. Like, well, you'rethe pastor, isn't that your job? No. Look, it can't be. You're going to encounterpeople just through the course of your every day that I'm never going to meet.You're going to work with people and there's people in your family. Thepastor Taylor is never going to meet. So whose job is it to let them know aboutJesus Christ? That's yours. That's why God has you there. There's no alternative.There's just not another option. But you know, side note, it's an interestingparadox. Last week we were talking about persecution, right? And people hating youbecause of Jesus. Isn't it an interesting paradox that the world hates us so much,but the world needs us so desperately? Look, you're expected. You are expected tobe salt and light. That is so clear from Jesus' words. It is just anexpectation. That's why Jesus gives warnings of being useless. Did you seethat? He says, verse 13, "If the salt has lost its taste." And then over in verse 15,he says, "Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket." What's the point?Well, the point is this. If salt isn't salty, it's useless, right? And if lightdoesn't shine, useless. What Jesus is saying here is when salt isn't salty,when light isn't bright, what that means is you've lost your influence. You'velost your influence. It's a terrible place to be when you lose your ability to besalt and light for Jesus Christ. You're like, well, how does that happen? How doyou lose your influence? How does salt lose its taste? How do you hide yourlight? Well, it happens through sin. That's how it happens. Constantlycomplaining, you're losing your saltiness. Gossiping, you're losing yoursaltiness. Do you have a hair trigger temper? You're losing yoursaltiness when that erupts. I'm inappropriate with the opposite sex inany way. Flirtation, direct messages to full-on affairs. You're losing yoursaltiness when you're involved in sin. Jesus gives a hard wording about thathere. He says you're not good for anything when that happens. I can justspeak personally, you know, over the years there have been several pastors whohave been a big influence influence. Several pastors have been a big influenceon me. Some local guys, some national names. People who have disqualifiedthemselves from ministry because of flagrant sin. And in a lot of the casesit was affairs. Whether it was emotion or physical, that seems to be thepredominant disqualifier. And look, right wrong or indifferent, you can reach yourconviction on this. But I gotta tell you, I've thrown away a lot of books and alot of sermons and a lot of materials for ministries. Because those pastors losttheir influence, how can you preach this? And for years secretly live acompletely different way. How can you do that? You don't have audience with meanymore. You're like, yeah, that's terrible. Well, what about you? What aboutyour influence with your unsafe family, with your friends, with your co-workers?When they know that you're a Christian, and by the way they absolutely should,look, when they know you name the name of Christ, they're watching you. They arewatching everything you do. They're watching your attitudes. They're listeningto every word that you say and how you say it and what you talk about. They'relistening. They're watching. I have to ask you, do theysee sin? Or maybe you just try to tone down the salt a little bit whenyou're around them. Maybe when you're around them, you don't want to be theweird religious wackadoo. So you're just, let's just dim the lights a little bit.Can we just dim the lights a little bit? Jesus says, if that's the case, He says,you're not good for anything. Like, Jesus is saying, why do I have you here? Why do Ihave you here if you're not going to be salt and light? You're no good. It's ahard warning. But notice, Jesus didn't say after the beatitudes, okay, now wouldyou pretty please be salt and light? He said, you are. You are. So really thequestion is, how salty are you? How bright are you? Because you're going toinfluence people one way or the other. And Jesus is expecting His influence onthis world to happen through you. So your influence is expected, number one.Number two, right this time, my influence comes from me being different. Myinfluence comes from me being different. That's something else about salt andlight. It has to actually be touching what it's going to affect. Did you knowthat? If the salt's going to be of any use, it has to be on the food. I know that'sprofound, right? What did you learn in church today? He said something about thesalt's no good unless it's on the food. Right. Right. The light must be mingledwith the darkness, right? But at the same time that it's touching, it's alsodistinct. What I mean is salt and light are unlike the medium on which they'replaced. So the point is we are to be different from the world. We're to beas different as the salt is from the meat. We're to be as different as thelight is from the darkness. And that means my friends, we're not we're notself-serving. We're not materialistic. We're not worldly. The influence happenswhen we're different from the world. And somehow we have a hard time asChristians remembering that. We think that we are going to attract theworld by imitating them. We have this game in our minds where we say, "Well, I'mgoing to show them that I'm no different than them. And they're going to see thatI'm cool and I'm relevant and then I'm going to be able to give them the gospel."We think being like them is going to attract them.Just imagine you have this co-worker and you have an exchange like this.Your co-worker says, "Hey, you want to hear a dirty joke?" And your reply is, "Yes." Andthen I will tell you one because I'm cool. Your co-worker says, "Hey, did you checkout that new lady that they hired? She is fine." And your reply to that is, "Yes, Ialso think she is smoking as you do because you and me are the same." Yourco-worker says, "Hey, do you want to have too much beer later?" And your reply is, "Isure would because that would be relevant to my relationship with youbecause I'm just like you." And then maybe after our beers I will tell you howJesus changed me. Changed you? From what? Even in the church. Even in the church.There's this tendency, we want to attract unsaved people so we think we'vegot to be just like them. Let's put on a show. Let's make it like a secularconcert. Let's get the laser lights and the smoke machine and put on a bigtheatrical production here. Let's be like the world. That'll win the world, won't it?Because don't we want people to be comfortable? We hate that, don't we? Whenchurches are like, "We want you to come and be comfortable." Church is the lastplace you should be comfortable. Standing in the face of the Word of God isthe last place you should feel comfortable. The church is, "Let's be like theworld and what that means is we're going to have to not take such ahard stand on the truth of God's Word because we want to win the world, right?And in order to do that, we got to be like the world." I was shown a churchrecently online was advertising, "You can get baptized there." But the interestingkicker was, they said, "You can get baptized any way you want."Any way you want. You want to get dunked? Well, don't you? You want to getsprinkled? We'll splash you? You want us to dip our hands in water and touch yourforehead? We'll do that. You name the way you want to get the water on you. We'll getthe water on you. As our Lord would say, "What is going on?" I heard this quote onetime that always stuck with me. Somebody said, regarding the church, they said,"Just when the world needs us the most, we become just like them." And look, if we'rejust the same, we got nothing to offer them, right? And if we learn anything fromthe Beatitudes, it's this, kingdom of heaven people live different than kingdomof earth people. We are not the same. We are not made out of the same stuff thatthe world is made out of. We are salt and light. My influence comes from beingdifferent, right? And finally, number three, my influence is for God's glory. Myinfluence is for God's glory. Look at verse 16 again. Jesus says in the same way,"Let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and giveglory to your Father who is in heaven." Good works. Good works. You do good works?Well, you have to check your motives for that, right? Because it's not about whatpeople think about me as much as what they think about God. But Jesus said,"They'll see our good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."Meaning this, "I do what I do because I love Jesus." And people are going to seethat, and that is going to give me the opportunity to share the gospel withthem, to invite them to church where they're going to hear the gospel. Andour hope is that they receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, becausethat is the ultimate way that God has glorified.But if we're going to be influencers, we have to be salt and light both.Because you can read this passage and be like, isn't Jesus kind of saying thesame thing with the salt and the light? Like, why did He use two pictures? Whydidn't He just keep it short and use one? Because there's some keydifferences between salt and light. The one I want to focus on is this. We couldspend so much time on this, we don't have it. But I want to say this. Jesus issaying you have to have godly conduct, that's salt. And you have to have thegospel message that's light. You have to have both.Meaning this. You can't just walk away from this message and focus on one ofthese aspects, but not the other. Meaning, let's just say you're onlygoing to focus on being salt. Okay, you're like, you know what, he's rightabout the salt, you know what, I got to work on that. I'm just only going to focuson being salt. I'm just going to focus on my walk with Christ, but you neveractually share the gospel with anyone. Well, the question is how is anybodygoing to glorify the Father if you never tell them the gospel? Do you thinkpeople are going to see your good works and just automatically, somehow,miraculously understand the content of the gospel just because you're doinggood works? There was a saying that was thrown around years ago. You know thosesayings that sometimes creeps into the church that Christians use that sound,they sound so like magnanimously spiritual, but they're really, when youthink about it, really kind of empty. This is one that kind of drove me nuts.Years ago, people would say, preach the gospel and use words if necessary. Rememberthat one? Preach the gospel and use words if necessary. Look, words arenecessary. Words are necessary. No one hears the truth just by watchingsomebody's character, but on the other hand, if you're like, you know what,you're right, I'm not going to worry so much about the salt. I'm not going tomonitor my salt content so much. I'm going to focus on being light.But look, if you're just running around telling everyone John 3.16, but you'renot personally walking with Christ, there's no good works backing up thismessage that you're preaching, you're going to leave people asking, why should Ilisten to his message? Because he doesn't seem any different than me. You got tohave salt and light both. See, salt refers to your general conduct. Light is thespecific word. Salt talks about who you are. Light speaks to what you do. Salt isbeing the example. Light is carrying out the work of evangelism. Salt is living it.Light is telling it. See, that salt can't save anyone. Salt holds back thecorruption. You need the light of God's truth to lead the salvation, but thelight has to be backed up by the salt of God the character and good works. That'sJesus' point here. And the end game? The end game is the same end game forliterally everything in the universe. The glory of God.We get that definition of the influencer back up here. I looked at a fewdefinitions here, but I thought, wow, doesn't this definition really speakto the same kind of stuff Jesus was talking about here? Look, here's what Imean. Has our Lord built a sizable following?A little bit. You may have heard of him. He built a sizable following. Does he havea relevant topic? I would argue the most relevant topic ever, eternal life. Is ourLord interesting in influencing His followers to take action? That's whywe're here. Like, well, how does that happen? There's last two words jumped outto me then. Credibility and authority. What's credibility? That's salt. And what'sauthority? That's light. Look, God has given us a new mission field to reach atHarvest Bible Chapel. God has given us a community without a church where we canbe salt and light. So there's an exciting new chapter ahead for Harvest BibleChapel. And just now we're going to have our town hall meeting, getting an updateon how God is moving. And my friends, you were in the presence of a miracletoday because I got done early. We'll do the directors cut in the next service.So why don't you just want to take a couple minutes? We're gonna start at 10promptly, Pastor Rich. So once you take a couple minutes, if you need to check onlittle Joey or use the restroom and then at 10 o'clock sharply, Pastor Rich isgonna come up here and we have an amazing update for you on what the Lord'sdoing. So let me pray real quick and then we'll reconvene here at 10. Father inheaven, I just want to close this time in your word by asking you to empower us tobe what you've already pronounced us to be. You've said we're salt and light, God,we need the wisdom of your word and the power of your spirit so that we can carryout that function in a way that glorifies your name. Thank you Father for all that you've done.We're excited at what you're going to do. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

This week, a story and an interview about resistance, dissent and the power of storytelling as an act of protest.  Where to from here? by Isabella Lee In this episode, Isabella speaks with Marto, a Pro-Palestinian cyclist, and Annie, an emerging writer. Reflecting on the ongoing atrocities in Gaza, they express their feelings of helplessness as they struggle to find impact in their efforts. Together, they explore how movements foster solidarity and how small, creative actions can ignite lasting change and sustain long-term activism. Remember, all it takes is a little compassion and creativity to shed light where it's needed most… because often, “the most important light is the one you cannot see”. Sara Saleh & Hasib Hourani Host Mads speaks with two of the staunchest voices for Gaza in our local community, Sara Saleh and Hasib Hourani. We spoke about resistance through storytelling and finding solace and inspiration from one's own community.  Hasib Hourani's debut book is now in bookshops, rock flight can be purchased here. The fourth edition of Debris Magazine is also available now, co-edited by Hasib Hourani and Adalia Nash Hussain.  You can buy The Flirtation of Girls and Songs of Dead and the Living here. Sara Saleh's poetry anthology is also on its way and you can catch her at writing events, including at the upcoming Blue Mountains Writers Festival - tickets here.

Dev Bry has over 20 years of experience in therapeutic work and group facilitation, specialising in rites of passage and somatic healing. She holds a Master's in Somatic Psychology and is a Certified Hakomi Therapist, with extensive training in Somatic Experiencing and Biodynamic Cranio-Sacral Therapy.   A solo mama, death doula, sex therapist, and lifelong learner, Dev is passionate about guiding couples and individuals in deepening their relationships. As the founder of HoneyRoot, she leads a somatic education organisation dedicated to inclusive embodiment, social justice, and intergenerational community.   At her core, Dev is a dancer, bridger, and ceremonialist. She is also a certified Soul Motion™ teacher, bringing her unique blend of movement and mindfulness to every space she inhabits, often alongside her child.   Our conversation explores the journey of becoming trauma-informed and the intersection of trauma-informed facilitation and somatic psychology. Dev Bry shares how being trauma-informed aligns with her somatic training and how it has become a crucial part of her work. We discuss the importance of positive regard and creating a safe space for individuals to explore and heal. Dev also talks about their organisation, Honeyroot, and how it provides a practice ground for building a coherent sense of self and empowering individuals. The conversation highlights the transformation and relaxation that participants experience in these spaces. As well as the empowerment that comes from knowing how to navigate moments of tension and complexity. It emphasizes the importance of embracing both reverence and irreverence within oneself and in relationships. The discussion highlights the value of acceptance, choice, and bringing consciousness to relating and showing up in the world. The ability to listen to the body's sensations and use mindfulness to inform actions is seen as a powerful tool. The conversation also touches on the balance between awareness and embodiment, and the need for trauma-informed facilitators to be aware of language and context. The importance of relaxation, presence, and the ability to do nothing in facilitation is emphasized. We end the conversation with a reflection on the significance of being at ease with change and uncertainty, and the potential for greater connection and less reactivity in navigating challenging times.   Connect with Dev Website https://www.movingfromthecenter.com/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/HoneyRoot   Connect with Rachel  Website  Rachel Rickards  https://rachelrickards.com  The Field Facilitator Training  www.the-field.com Podcast  www.rachelrickards.com/podcast Subscribe to Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-presence-we-trust-the-facilitation-podcast/id1755771265  Subscribe to Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0Zlb6L6KjvXauxRdTtDzjS  Youtube  https://www.youtube.com/@TheFacilitationPodcast  Instagram  The Field Facilitator Training   www.instagram.com/thefieldfacilitation   Rachel Rickards www.instagram.com/rachel.rickards Facebook Rachel Rickards www.facebook.com/rachrickards  The Field Facilitator Training https://www.facebook.com/TheFieldFacilitator

Special Guest Alana McKenzie    Get your free workbook at https://soul-awakening.com/free   In this episode of the Human Potential Podcast, Alana McKenzie joins me for part two of our exploration into the art of feminine seduction. We kick off by dissecting the portrayal of seduction in popular culture, questioning traditional narratives that often depict men as pursuers and women as passive participants. Instead, we champion a more inclusive understanding of seduction, where women are empowered to celebrate their sensuality without societal constraints.   Throughout our conversation, we delve into the essence of seduction, highlighting its intersection with confidence and self-expression. Alana shares her personal journey of rediscovering her sensuality and reclaiming her feminine power, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and self-love in the seduction process.   Flirtation emerges as a central theme, recognized as a potent tool for building chemistry and connection. Alana stresses the significance of practicing flirtation in everyday interactions to foster openness, vulnerability, and genuine appreciation for others.   We challenge traditional gender roles, encouraging listeners to explore their own unique expression of seduction. By embracing innate sensuality and cultivating authentic connections, we unlock the true potential of romantic relationships, experiencing deeper levels of intimacy and fulfillment.   Transitioning to a discussion on flirtation in dating, we explore its intricacies and significance. Key takeaways include the importance of approaching interactions with an attitude of gratitude and abundance, using body language to signal interest and attraction, and understanding the dynamics of masculine and feminine energy to create magnetic chemistry. Online dating dynamics are also examined, with a focus on crafting compelling profiles and initiating conversations with flirtatious language. Emotional communication emerges as a crucial aspect, fostering genuine connection and helping gauge compatibility.   We underscore the role of inner work and conscious dating, emphasizing the need for self-healing, self-awareness, and personal growth to attract fulfilling connections. Dating is portrayed as an ongoing journey of self-improvement, where embracing authenticity and vulnerability enhances not only romantic endeavors but overall well-being and fulfillment.   CONTACT INFO Alana McKenzie Page hello@sovereign-dating.com www.sovereign-dating.com  www.linkedin.com/company/sovereign-dating-coaching   www.facebook.com/sovereigndating   www.instagram.com/sovereigndating

Welcome to an extraordinary journey that will transform your marriage forever! Are you ready to dive deep into the secrets of building a lasting connection with your spouse? Buckle up, because today, we're unveiling 11 secrets that will revolutionize your communication in marriage! Alright, let's dive into the first secret that will transform your marriage. --> READ THE BLOG POST HERE https://lolaandola.com/communication-in-marriage/ --> WATCH VIDEO VERSION HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrlB_vFmU9M Secret Number 1. Active Listening The first secret to successful communication in marriage is active listening. This skill goes far beyond the surface level of hearing words; it delves deep into understanding your partner's thoughts, feelings, and desires. When you genuinely listen to your partner, you not only make them feel heard but also create a deeper connection. Imagine it as a bridge between your hearts, one that allows both of you to traverse the emotional landscape of your relationship with ease. When your wife feels heard, it's as if you've unlocked a hidden dimension of your connection. It's not just about hearing her words; it's about comprehending the unspoken nuances—the subtle shifts in her tone, the unsaid worries, and the unexpressed desires. In this sense, you can truly penetrate her world, establishing a level of intimacy that transcends the physical. Similarly, when your husband feels heard, it's akin to a pledge of devotion. He recognizes that you value his thoughts and respect his perspective. As a result, he's more inclined to wholeheartedly commit himself to your happiness, striving to fulfill your needs and desires in every possible way.Active listening is the cornerstone of a thriving marriage. It's the secret weapon that not only helps you understand your partner better but also draws you closer, creating a magnetic bond that withstands the tests of time and trials of life.Secret Number 2. Understanding Power Dynamics In any marriage, understanding the intricate web of power dynamics is crucial. It's not about striving for a rigid sense of equality, but rather achieving a balanced and equitable partnership that thrives on the nuances of your unique emotional and relational contexts.So, what's the difference between equity and equality? Equity, unlike equality, pays attention to the context and emotional frame of reference within the relationship. It acknowledges that each partner may have different strengths, weaknesses, and emotional needs at various times. This recognition allows for a more fluid and dynamic distribution of power.Equality, on the other hand, often hinges on a fixed, one-size-fits-all approach. It can inadvertently create a subtle sense of competition between husband and wife, where each strives to maintain an exact equilibrium in responsibilities and privileges. This rigid perspective can lead to unnecessary tensions and misunderstandings.Understanding power dynamics isn't about establishing dominance; it's about navigating your relationship with empathy and sensitivity. When you grasp the concept of power, you'll begin to recognize and transform any elements that resemble competition between you and your partner.Many traditional communication principles inadvertently position spouses as competitors, fostering an atmosphere where one must "win" a discussion or argument. Instead, focusing on equitable power dynamics means working together as a team. It's about acknowledging that each partner brings unique strengths and perspectives to the relationship, and by combining these strengths, you can create a stronger, more harmonious partnership. In doing so, you'll move away from the idea of competing against each other and toward the goal of collaborating to build a thriving marriage.Secret Number 3. Understanding Your Leverage Communication isn't just about talking. Sometimes, silence can be a powerful tool, allowing your partner the space they need to express themselves fully.Secret Number 4. Self-Awareness Self-awareness is the foundation of emotional intelligence. By understanding your own emotions, you can better navigate difficult conversations with your spouse.Secret Number 5. Social Intelligence Your capacity to engage with others extends its influence into your marriage as well. Building and nurturing your social intelligence can be a game-changer when it comes to establishing trust and deeper connections within your relationship.In everyday life, it's not uncommon for individuals to experience moments of social awkwardness, particularly when effective communication is of the essence. These moments can arise during crucial discussions with your spouse. However, by honing your social intelligence, you can learn to navigate these situations with grace and confidence.Social intelligence isn't about being the life of the party or a master of small talk. Instead, it's about recognizing and understanding the emotions, needs, and perspectives of those around you. When you develop this skill, it enhances your ability to connect with your partner on a deeper level.In those pivotal moments when effective communication is most needed, your refined social intelligence will help you maintain composure, show empathy, and respond thoughtfully. Ultimately, this will foster an environment of trust, openness, and understanding within your marriage, even during the most challenging conversations.Secret Number 6. Emotional Vulnerability Emotional vulnerability is a potent tool in deepening your connection with your spouse. It involves being willing to share your innermost thoughts and feelings, even if they make you feel exposed or uncomfortable. When you allow yourself to be emotionally vulnerable, you invite your partner into your world on a profound level, fostering trust and intimacy.But be sure to read the room before sharing your fears, dreams, and insecurities with your spouse, and encourage them to share as much as they need to; make them comfortable doing that. This level of wisdom creates a safe space for both of you, building a strong emotional bond that can withstand the trials of marriage.Secret Number 7. Nonverbal Communication Nonverbal communication plays a significant role in seduction within a marriage. Your body language, eye contact, and physical touch can convey desire, passion, and love without the need for words. Learn to use these nonverbal cues to send clear messages of attraction and affection to your partner.Subtle touches, lingering glances, and affectionate gestures can create a seductive atmosphere that keeps the romance alive in your marriage. Pay attention to your partner's nonverbal cues as well, as they can reveal their desires and feelings even when they don't verbalize them.Secret Number 8. Timing and Patience Effective communication in a seductive marriage requires a keen sense of timing and patience. Sometimes, the most seductive moments are the ones that are allowed to simmer and build gradually. Rather than rushing into things, take the time to savor the anticipation and desire that naturally arise when you allow moments to unfold at their own pace.Patience can be a powerful tool in seduction. It allows you to build tension and excitement, creating an atmosphere of longing and desire. Whether it's planning a special date night or waiting for the perfect moment to express your feelings, patience can amplify the seductive energy in your marriage.Secret Number 9. Playfulness and Flirtation Marriage doesn't have to be serious all the time. Playfulness and flirtation can inject a sense of fun and excitement into your relationship. Tease and flirt with your spouse as you would when you were first dating. Use humor and light-hearted banter to create a playful atmosphere that ignites desire and keeps the spark alive.Flirtation is a way to remind your partner that you still find them irresistibly attractive. It's about maintaining a sense of novelty and adventure in your marriage, even as you navigate the routines of daily life.Secret Number 10. Adaptability & Embracing Change Change is inevitable in any long-term relationship. To maintain effective communication in a seductive marriage, you as a partner must be adaptable and willing to grow with your partner.  Embrace the changes as you both evolve over time.As you adapt to this inevitable reality, make an effort to rediscover and rekindle your desires. What attracted you to your partner in the beginning may evolve, but there are always new aspects to explore and appreciate. Embrace change as an opportunity to deepen your connection and discover new sources of seduction within your evolving relationship.Secret Number 11. Mutual Fulfillment Ultimately, effective communication in a marriage is about being aware of your partner's desires and working to help them feel fulfilled. Make an effort to understand what truly excites and satisfies your partner, both emotionally and physically. Then, commit to helping in fulfilling those desires as an ongoing act of love and seduction.You will then create a reciprocal cycle of desire and satisfaction that keeps the spark alive in your marriage. This mutual fulfillment ensures that both partners feel cherished, desired, and deeply connected to each other eventually.Incorporating these 11 secrets into your approach to communication in marriage will help you build and maintain a connection that keeps the flame of passion and desire burning brightly throughout your journey together.Communication in marriage is an art, not an exact science. By embracing these secrets, you can build a connection that stands the test of time. Let's get the conversation going in the comments below!

What if I told you Florida St. and Miami  had an opportunity to join the Southeastern Conference — a dominant football league they spent decades begging to get into — and both universities passed in the name of academics, better basketball and a little built-up resentment? The SEC would probably tell you it never happened, that the league never formally offered the Seminoles or Hurricanes a seat at the table. But, here is the real story.

No musical artist better personified the hedonism of the '70s than David Bowie. He captivated the imaginations of music fans all over the world with a dizzying array of creative alter egos; Major Tom, Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke among them, and his obsession with occultist Aleister Crowley drove him down a dark, excessive hole filled with cocaine, orgies, arrests, fascism, death and madness that very nearly destroyed him.
