Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the complex and often suppressed memory of China's recent past. Drawing on Tania Branigan's Red Memory, we delve into the heart of Beijing—Tiananmen Square—and unpack its layers of history, from the May Fourth Movement of 1919 to the founding of the People's Republic in 1949 and the tragedy of 1989.Why does the portrait of Mao Zedong still gaze over the square, despite the catastrophes of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution? How does the Chinese Communist Party use "Red Tourism" and curated museums to construct a narrative of national rejuvenation while burying the trauma of its own making? From the "Century of Humiliation" to Xi Jinping's "Chinese Dream," we examine how memory is not just history, but a tool of state legitimacy.Plus: A reminder for students!

Sermon Summary: “Forgetting What Is Behind You, Living for Christ”   A Call to a Year of Yielding The sermon opens with a prophetic emphasis for the new year: a year of yielding. God's will is not accomplished in believers' lives through effort alone, but through surrender. Just as Jesus yielded His will to the Father in Gethsemane, believers are called to yield their strength, plans, and control to God so His purposes can be fulfilled. Sanctification Comes Through Yielding Believers are already perfected in Christ, yet are continually being sanctified. Sanctification is not achieved by striving, but by yielding to the work of the Holy Spirit. Our position in Christ is greater than our current condition, and real spiritual growth requires humility, honesty, and willingness to change. Peter's Failure Reveals the Danger of Self-Confidence Through Matthew 26, the sermon examines Peter's denial of Jesus. Peter failed because he: Refused to believe Jesus' warning Neglected prayer and watchfulness Substituted action for prayer Followed Jesus from a distance Catered to his flesh This progression shows how spiritual drift leads to open denial when believers rely on self-confidence rather than surrender. Yielding Prevents Spiritual Collapse Jesus warned, “Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation.” The sermon explains the difference between falling into temptation and entering into it deliberately. Yielding involves intentionally setting one's life up for spiritual success through prayer, discipline, and obedience. God's Grace Restores the Fallen Despite Peter's failure, God's grace was greater. Fifty days later, Peter stood up on the Day of Pentecost and preached the most powerful sermon in history. This demonstrates that failure does not disqualify a yielded heart. God restores those who repent and trust His grace. Forgetting What Is Behind From Philippians 3, the sermon teaches that many believers are controlled by their past. “Forgetting” does not mean erasing memory, but neglecting its power. Paul deliberately turned away from both sinful and successful parts of his past so he could pursue Christ fully. Yielding Requires Intentional Neglect of the Past Believers must choose to lay aside memories, regrets, accomplishments, and wounds that hinder forward movement. No counselor or circumstance can do this for someone—it is a personal decision empowered by the Holy Spirit. A Unified Pursuit of Christ The church is described as a people who are “with it” because they share the same pursuit, not because of obligation or structure. When believers wake each day seeking to please God, unity naturally follows. Final Call The sermon concludes with a strong call to surrender: Yield fully to God Forget what is behind Press toward the upward call of Christ Live not by sight, but by faith Believers are challenged to enter the new year with renewed commitment, trusting that a yielded life leads to freedom, restoration, and spiritual power.

In the age of climate change and global pandemics how do we remember the victims?  University of Madison, Wisconsin historian Richard C. Keller examines this question through his study of the 2003 heat wave in Paris.  This was the worst natural disaster in French history claiming some 15,000 lives.  In his book, Fatal Isolation: The Devastating Paris Heat Wave of 2003, Keller explains the myriad ways in which victims were forgotten and the disaster was misremembered.  From the science of counting the dead to historically rooted animosity toward marginalized, elderly women, Keller unpacks the causes and consequences of the skewed memory of the 2003 heave wave. 

What if the way you pay is part of the therapy? Some psychoanalytic therapists ask for cash after each session—not for convenience, but because money itself reveals emotional truth. Forgetting to pay, overpaying, or haggling can uncover hidden dynamics worth exploring. Vessy explains how two sessions a week can go far deeper than one and why honest talk about fees is as essential as discussing feelings. When money enters the room, therapy gets real—and that's where lasting change begins. #MoneyInTherapy #PsychoanalyticTherapy #FinancialTherapy #TherapyInsights #EmotionalDynamics #MoneyPsychology #TherapyProcess #BehindTheTherapyRoom #TherapeuticRelationship #HealingPatterns #DeepTherapyWork #MoneyMindset #EmotionalAwareness #TherapeuticChange #ExploringFeelings #TherapyConversation #MentalHealthPodcast #InnerWork #UnderstandingYourself #TherapyJourney A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive our money decisions.

PSALMS 102–103 — AFFLICTION, REMEMBRANCE, AND COVENANT MERCY“Standing Under Pressure and Remembering Yahuah Correctly”Teacher: Kerry BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis evening message follows the Torah class and continues the Psalms teaching sequence, addressing how Israel responds after obedience is already established.Psalms 102–103 move from affliction to remembrance.These psalms establish:How Israel speaks in sufferingHow memory is governed under covenantHow mercy is taught without disorderThis is not emotional release.This is covenant regulation.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGE1. Psalm 102 — Affliction Without AccusationPsalm 102Psalm 102 gives voice to affliction without rebellion. The psalmist speaks honestly of weakness and distress while refusing to accuse Yahuah of injustice. Affliction is acknowledged, but covenant order is maintained.2. Yahuah Is Eternal While Man Is FrailPsalm 102:12–28Human strength fades, but Yahuah remains unchanged. Personal suffering is placed under covenant purpose, and Zion's restoration is affirmed as appointed. Continuity belongs to the covenant, not the moment.3. Psalm 103 — Remembrance Is a CommandPsalm 103:1–5Israel is commanded to remember Yahuah and forget none of His benefits. Memory is regulated. Forgetting commandments while remembering benefits produces disorder.4. Mercy Without LicensePsalm 103:6–14Yahuah's mercy is compassionate and patient, yet covenantal. Mercy restores relationship but does not remove accountability. Fear of Yahuah governs mercy.5. Who Mercy Is ForPsalm 103:15–18Mercy is extended to those who fear Yahuah, keep His covenant, and remember His commandments to do them. Mercy is inherited through obedience.6. Authority Precedes WorshipPsalm 103:19–22Yahuah's throne is established, and His kingdom rules over all. Worship flows from settled authority, not emotion. Praise follows order.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSAffliction is disciplinedMemory is regulatedMercy is definedObedience is preservedLeadership is restrainedCovenant order is protectedPsalms 102–103 teach Israel how to endure hardship without accusation and how to receive mercy without abandoning obedience.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYPsalms 102–103Deuteronomy 7 • Deuteronomy 8 • Deuteronomy 30Exodus 34Isaiah 40Lamentations 3Malachi 3Hebrews 1Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah, no religion, no tradition, no compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.No CashApp.No PayPal.FINAL WORDAffliction does not cancel covenant.Mercy does not erase obedience.Memory must be disciplined.Authority remains settled.These psalms regulate life under sustained pressure.Final Heart Check:When affliction lingers, do you humble yourself or accuse Yahuah?When mercy is shown, do you return to obedience or relax it?

Is the First World War slowly fading from public memory, or has our relationship with the Great War simply changed? In this episode, Are We Forgetting The First World War?, we explore how interest in WW1 has grown, shifted, and adapted over the last forty years, and what the future may hold.We begin in the 1980s, with the formation and growth of the Western Front Association, a turning point that helped revive serious public interest in the First World War. From there, we chart the expansion of family history research, as available records and personal archives encouraged millions to reconnect with relatives who served. We also reflect on the passing of the last surviving First World War veterans, a deeply symbolic moment that changed how the war is remembered and commemorated.The episode then examines the rise of battlefield tourism, local history projects, and public engagement that laid the foundations for the First World War Centenary (2014–2018), a period of unprecedented books, documentaries, exhibitions, podcasts, and community remembrance.But what happened after the centenary ended? We explore the unexpected “Covid bonus”, when lockdowns sparked a surge in WW1 podcasts, YouTube channels, online talks, and digital history projects, bringing the Great War to new audiences in new ways.Finally, we ask where we are today. Is interest in the First World War declining, fragmenting, or evolving? And crucially, what can historians, educators, content creators, and enthusiasts do to ensure the First World War is not forgotten?Sign up for the free podcast newsletter here: Old Front Line Bulletin.You can order Old Front Line Merch via The Old Front Line Shop.Got a question about this episode or any others?

Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal. . . . — Philippians 3:13-14 It's easy to get trapped in the past, isn't it? We hold on to things we wish we could undo, replaying those moments in our minds again and again. It's as if we are carrying a heavy bag full of regret, guilt, or past mistakes—constantly reminding ourselves of our shortcomings. I know I've struggled with that—especially when I have wished I could turn back time and do things differently. But here Paul reminds us that the past is behind us, and that dwelling on it doesn't help us to grow. In fact, that can hold us back from the new things God wants to do in our lives. There's a freedom in forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, just as Paul describes in this passage. God is calling us to press on— to pursue the goal he has for us. This doesn't mean forgetting the lessons of the past, but it does mean no longer letting the past define our future. There's a prize ahead, and it's waiting for all of us who are ready to leave our old life behind. Let's press on toward the newness that God has for us, not letting our past mistakes or regrets hold us back. Lord, help me to let go of the past and to press forward into the future you have called me to. May I strain toward the prize you have for me, trusting that your grace is sufficient. Amen.

If you’ve ever driven a car, you know the rearview mirror has a purpose—but it’s not meant to be your primary focus. It’s small for a reason. You glance back briefly, but your eyes belong on the road ahead. In the same way, God never intended for you to live your life staring at your past. When we fixate on what’s behind us—past mistakes, missed opportunities, or wounds caused by others—it can steal our peace in the present and keep us from stepping into what God has prepared for our future. The devotional reminds us that the past lives in the rearview—it can inform us, but it should not define us. We can’t change what happened, but we do get to choose what we do with it. We can lament, staying trapped in regret, guilt, shame, or anger—or we can learn, allowing God to redeem our experiences and help us move forward with wisdom and grace. The goal isn’t to pretend the past didn’t happen. The goal is to release its hold on your heart so you can press on, like Paul describes, toward the life God is calling you into. And you don’t have to do that alone. God gives help through the Holy Spirit, through wise counseling, and through trusted friends who can support you, pray with you, and remind you of truth when you feel stuck. Everything God has for you is ahead. Your destiny isn’t behind you—it’s in front of you. Main Takeaways Your past is meant to be glanced at, not lived in—your primary focus belongs on what’s ahead. You can’t change what happened, but you can choose whether you lament or learn from it. God’s grace allows you to view your past through redemption, not regret. Healing is often a process, and God provides support through the Holy Spirit, counseling, and friends. God’s purpose for you is in your future—don’t let yesterday keep you from stepping into it. Today’s Bible Verse Philippians 3:13-14“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Your Daily Prayer Heavenly Father, I bring my past before you. I acknowledge my struggles with past mistakes and the choices I have made. But I also wrestle with things that were done to me. Yet, you tell me to cast all my anxieties upon you because you care for me. That is what I do today. Help me give you every aspect of my past that I am holding onto. Whether it is guilt, shame, or anger, I release it to you. Help me leave it there, and in exchange, I pray you will give me freedom from my past so I can step into the future you have for me. Give me grace to live with my eyes forward, only looking back to learn and apply those lessons as I move forward in you. In Jesus’ name,Amen. Want More?

Episode Summary: Welcome to a brand-new year! If you’re like many, today might bring a mix of emotions. Excitement for a fresh start, anxiety over the unknown, or maybe even a lingering weight from the past. So many of us enter the new year feeling burdened by past mistakes, failures, or regrets. The enemy would love nothing more than to keep us stuck in shame, replaying the moments we wish we could erase. But here’s the truth: Our God is a God of redemption, of new beginnings, of fresh mercies every morning including this very one. Today, we talk about Trusting God's Redemption Over Your Past. We’ll explore what it means to step forward in faith instead of shame, to trust in God’s plans instead of our past, and to fully embrace the fresh start He offers us through His love and grace. Quotables from the episode: If stepping into this new year has felt more like stepping into a cloud of uncertainty, I want you to know that you are not alone. More importantly, you are not without hope. Today, we’re going to explore what God’s Word says about new beginnings and how we can release the past to walk confidently into His plans for our future. God is in the business of making things new. If you’re struggling to let go of past failures, hear this today—God is doing a new thing in your life. Will you embrace it? No matter what yesterday held, today is a new day, and His mercies are fresh and waiting for you. Practical Tip 1: Release What You Cannot Change Holding onto past regrets won’t change them. Take a moment to pray and surrender those memories to God, repenting where necessary and trusting Him to use even your mistakes for His glory. Practical Tip 2: Replace Shame with Truth The enemy often whispers lies of unworthiness and failure, but God calls you redeemed. Meditate on scriptures that remind you of your identity in Christ—because you are loved, valued, and renewed every day. Practical Tip 3: Set Your Eyes on the Future, Not the Past In Philippians 3:13-14, the apostle Paul encourages us, “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal...” Today, commit to focusing on God’s promises for your future. Each new day is a step toward the plans He has for you—plans filled with hope and purpose. Where there is uncertainty, seek God’s will for your future. Practical Tip 4: Surround Yourself with Encouragement Fellowship is key. The enemy would love to isolate you, but we were not created to be alone. Whether it’s through Christian friends, a church community, or inspirational books and podcasts, fill your life with voices that affirm your worth and point you toward God’s truth. When you're surrounded by encouragement, the journey to healing and new beginnings becomes much more manageable. Practical Tip 5: Start Each Day with a Fresh Perspective Begin every morning by thanking God for a new day and seeking His guidance. A short prayer or a moment of reflection can reset your mindset, reminding you that His mercies are new every day. Consider journaling your thoughts and prayers to track the fresh starts and breakthroughs God is bringing into your life. If you need a resource to start your day in God’s word, reflecting on His promises, I encourage you to pick up a copy of my book Today Is Going to Be a Good Day: 90 Promises From God to Start Your Day Off Right. Take a moment now to reflect on these steps. Ask yourself: What past burdens do I need to surrender? Which scriptures will I meditate on to replace shame with truth? Allow God to fill you with hope as you anticipate the new things He’s ready to do in your life. Friend, I don’t know what your past holds, but I do know this—God is bigger than your mistakes, greater than your failures, and ever faithful in His love. As you step into this new year, hold onto the promise that He is doing a new thing in your life. You no longer have to be weighed down by what was. Instead, embrace what is to come, knowing that God’s plans for you are filled with hope, purpose, and renewal. As you leave this episode, I encourage you to put these steps into practice. Tonight, reflect on the scriptures we discussed and commit to a fresh start tomorrow morning. Trust that each new day is a gift from God—a day filled with His mercy and love. Let’s pray together: “Lord, thank You for the promise of new beginnings. Help us to let go of the past and step boldly into the future You have planned. May we embrace Your truth over our shame, and may Your mercies renew us each morning. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” Scripture References: Isaiah 43:18-19: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Lamentations 3:22-23: “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Johnny Glover (Pastor of Worship), "Knowing Christ".          9.  And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,  10.  so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,  11.  filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.          7.  But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.  8.  What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ  9.  and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in[a] Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.  10.  I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,  11. and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.          12.  Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.  13.  Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,  14.  I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.          19.  And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.  20.  To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.          (Philippians 1:9-11; 3:7-14; 4:19-20 NIV)

A famous journalist once wrote, “The true secret of editing is to know what to place in the wastebasket.” That's good counsel for those who seek to live in grace during 2026 as well. The secret of successful living is knowing what to throw away, what to forget, what to discard. In the desk of life from 2025 there are likely many things you'd do better to be without. Throw away the slights and the insults you received in the old year. Hanging on to them this long has already caused you to be something less than the kind and gracious person you've wanted to be. Throw away the grudges you've nourished during the last 12 months. Though they've probably provided you with many moments of bitter satisfaction, they haven't deepened your faith or your kindness even a little. In 2026, collect coins if you wish; collect stamps; collect postcards; collect tropical fish. But don't collect grudges. They are part of what lies behind that ought to be forgotten. And finally, throw away your sins when you've repented of them, for Jesus promises to do the same: “I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more” (Heb 8:12). “As far as the east is from the west, so far He removes our transgressions from us” (Psa 103:12). Grace lets us lean into the future with joy and expectation. So stay in it. -Bill Knott

Sharon Karaffa is the President of Multifamily Debt and Structured Finance at Newmark. With over two decades of experience, she's built her career advising on agency lending, capital markets strategy, and multifamily finance. From starting in corporate finance at Fannie Mae to shaping lending strategies during volatile market cycles, Sharon brings a rare lens on long-term trends and real-time insights. She has led teams through critical transitions, including Fannie Mae's restatement period and the public launch of Newmark's multifamily platform, giving her a comprehensive view from both the borrower and lender perspective.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways How Sharon transitioned into multifamily lending during a corporate finance shake-up at Fannie Mae Why mentorship and sponsorship play a crucial role in long-term success The ongoing conservatorship of Fannie and Freddie—and what it means for agency lending How current interest rate volatility is reshaping investor and lender behavior The role of AI in the future of multifamily debt underwriting     Topics Covered Falling Into Multifamily by Taking a Chance Sharon shares how she unexpectedly landed in multifamily finance after being offered three career tracks at Fannie Mae—and choosing the one she knew the least about. Navigating the Conservatorship Era A look at how Fannie and Freddie's placement under conservatorship in 2008 changed the structure of agency lending, from Treasury sweeps to regulatory capital planning. How Volatility Affects Lending Decisions Sharon explains how rate volatility has impacted investor confidence and what lenders consider when advising clients during market uncertainty. Bridge Loans vs. Agency Debt Sharon breaks down where potential distress may appear in the market and why deals underwritten with aggressive bridge debt may be more vulnerable. Lender Advice: Don't Wait for the 'Perfect Rate' Insight on why now may still be the right time to execute a deal—and how waiting on the sidelines may mean missing key opportunities. Tech and AI in Multifamily Lending Sharon shares how Newmark is experimenting with a proprietary GPT tool for internal underwriting and predictive analytics—and where AI still needs work.    

“Forgive but never forget” was never meant to trap you in bitterness. It was meant to teach stewardship. In this episode, Dr. Delisa Rodgers explores the difference between forgiveness and restored access, and why Scripture never commands us to erase memory, but to release vengeance and guard the heart. Through biblical insight, trauma awareness, and Hebrew word meanings, this teaching reveals how betrayal affects identity, discernment, and the nervous system, and why hyper-awareness after betrayal is not weakness but wisdom forming. You will learn how forgiveness lifts the burden while memory provides protection, why Jesus forgave fully yet limited access wisely, and how God heals not by making you forget, but by strengthening you so the memory no longer governs your responses. This episode is for those who have forgiven but still feel the impact of past wounds, who wrestle with self-doubt after betrayal, and who desire healed discernment rather than hardened hearts. Forgive fully. Remember wisely. And let God rebuild trust on truth, not nostalgia.

64 [12.18] Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Yomi 139:20-end [Leftover Oil, Wicks. Al HaNissim. Forgetting. Laining Chanukah]

December is chaos. Holidays, travel, weather, kids, hosting, work, pressure to “make it special” – and then we act shocked when the credit card statement smacks us in January. In this 12 Days of Giving episode, I bring back money expert Rachel Duncan to walk through the one simple system she built to stop December from blindsiding her every single year: a recurring “Holiday Lessons Learned” calendar event that future Rachel is very, very grateful for.Rachel breaks down exactly how she built her holiday playbook: what went wrong, what worked, who actually enjoys which tasks, how much candy they really need for Halloween, why New Year's hosting hits different, and how all of that quietly adds up to real money. She shows you how she turned a chaotic season into a repeatable checklist that lives in her calendar and gets better every year instead of starting from zero every time.From there, we go straight into the money. We talk holiday “specialness” spending, why the real budget busters are the so-called “one-off” expenses, and how seasonal stuff like camps, hobbies, gifts, travel and parties are exactly what push people into debt. Rachel walks through her “holiday specialness” category, sinking funds, and even a controversial but smart use of a dedicated credit card you pre-load like a savings bucket. This isn't theory – this is how real families actually spend.Then we zoom out into the psychology. We hit future-self research, the idea of seeing your future self as a real person, and why we're willing to plan better for others than we are for ourselves. Rachel shares how aging a photo of herself, naming future-Rachel, and literally thanking “past me” changed how she spends in the moment. It's not about guilt. It's about taking responsibility for the version of you who has to live with December's decisions.If you're tired of swearing “next year will be different” and then repeating the same pattern, this episode is your line in the sand. We're giving you a concrete way to capture your own holiday lessons, track the real costs, and start funding them like adults instead of pretending we'll remember. This is part of our 12 Days of Giving series – one raw, practical episode every day from December 12–23 to get your money and mindset right heading into 2026.

December 21 2025 Sunday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 05 / T. Stacy Hayes #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior.

Year after year, season after season, next year will be the year that you start shooting does like you should. Forgetting that you are slipping further and further away from really growing bigger bucks. The pursuit of trophy bucks gets in the way so much during the season that you are so consumed by an objective of a single deer that you get further away from accomplishing the original goal. This is what we call the trophy buck death spiral. It's time to be honest with yourself and shoot does like you need to. If you are doing habitat management and not herd management, this podcast is for you. We chat in detail with Jack Hutson of Midwest Deer Survey about his consistent findings during thermal deer surveys. Consistently deer herds are twice the density that they need to be. That is a problem. It is in distinct opposition to growing trophy deer consistently. Listen and apply!

In his study of the 2003 heat wave in Paris, historian Richard C. Keller reveals the myriad ways we forget the victims of natural disasters.  We relegate marginalized and vulnerable populations to the most precarious housing then blame them for the inevitable outcome of their own life choices.  We formulate categories of susceptible, at-risk populations whose subsequent deaths become unsurprising, anticipated, and less memorable.  From the architecture of modern cities to the science of deciphering mass death counts, the reasons we forget the victims of natural disasters are increasingly relevant in our current age where calamity can strike any of us at any time.  A conversation with Dr. Richard C. Keller about his book, Fatal Isolation: The Devastating Paris Heat Wave of 2003, next on the January 6th episode of the Realms of Memory podcast

Glenn starts the show by going through the history of Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying program, which has become a grotesque injustice. Glenn opens up the phones for callers to discuss various issues, including one caller who's fighting the state of New York from taking over her farmland to install solar panels. Glenn warns that Texas could soon face rolling blackouts as power grids are overwhelmed. Glenn gives an update on Jolene, a Canadian woman who needs life-saving surgery. Forgetting the autopen scandal, does the president have the power to issue immunity deals under the guise of pardons? Glenn lays out why Canada's health care is such a mess. Glenn gets a call from a listener who calls him out for referring to “George AI” as a “he” and not an “it.” “The Case for Christ” author Lee Strobel joins to discuss his newest book, “The Case for Christmas,” which dives into the evidence of the birth of Jesus Christ.

In the season of giving, we're discussing making charitable contributions in 2025 and 2026. Americans are known for their generous donations to worthy causes, but understanding the best ways to give and maximize your tax benefits is key. This episode covers four effective strategies for making charitable contributions, from utilizing Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from your retirement accounts to cash donations, gifting highly appreciated stock or real estate, and using donor-advised funds. I also break down recent and upcoming tax law changes that impact your ability to itemize and deduct charitable donations, ensuring you avoid common pitfalls and make the most of your generosity. Whether you're planning a gift this year or thinking ahead, this episode is packed with actionable tips to help you give back and plan for a successful retirement.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Charitable giving and tax benefits. [05:01] Managing qualified charitable distributions. [08:03] Charitable deductions and rules changing in 2026. [13:17] Benefits of donor-advised funds. [16:23] Charitable contributions for tax deductions. Four Smart Strategies for Charitable Giving in 2026 Charitable giving is at the heart of American generosity, with billions donated annually to causes that matter. But did you know your generosity can also be a powerful tool in your tax strategy, especially as rules shift for 2026?  1. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs): Tax Breaks from Your Retirement Account If you're 73 or older and taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) from a traditional IRA, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can be a game-changer. Instead of taking your full RMD as income (which is taxable), you can direct some, or all, of it straight to a qualified 501(c)(3) charity. This distributed amount is excluded from your taxable income, potentially lowering your tax bill and even your Medicare premiums. But details matter: The money must transfer directly from your IRA to the charity. You can't touch the funds yourself and then donate. The charity must be a registered 501(c)(3). When you receive your year-end 1099-R tax form, it won't indicate how much was a QCD. You (or your accountant) must reduce your taxable income by the QCD amount and annotate "QCD" on your return. Forgetting to do so can result in unnecessary taxes. By leveraging QCDs, retirees not only support their favorite causes but also make the most of their hard-earned savings. 2. Cash Donations: Navigating Itemizing and New Deduction Thresholds Traditional cash donations are an easy way to support charities and reduce taxes, but the benefits depend on your ability to itemize deductions. Until recently, many households in high-tax states struggled to itemize due to the $10,000 state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap. Big change for 2026 - 2029: The SALT cap jumps to $40,000, making itemizing possible for more people. If your itemized deductions, including mortgage interest, medical expenses, property taxes, and charitable gifts, exceed the standard deduction, your donations can reduce your taxable income. In 2026, a $1,000 per individual (or $2,000 per couple) charitable deduction will be available even if you don't itemize. However, your charitable giving must exceed 1.5% of your adjusted gross income to become deductible, creating a new bar to qualify. Careful timing and documentation of donations can help maximize these new opportunities. 3. Donating Appreciated Assets: Stocks and Real Estate If you're sitting on highly appreciated stocks or real estate, donating them directly to charity can deliver a double tax benefit: You avoid paying capital gains tax on the asset's increase in value, and you can also deduct the current market value of your donation (subject to certain AGI limits: 30% for appreciated assets). To qualify: The asset must have been held for at least one year. For real estate valued above $5,000, an independent appraisal is required. Charities get the full value, and you skip the capital gains tax bill. If your donation exceeds the allowed AGI percent, you can carry the excess deduction forward up to five years. 4. Donor Advised Funds: Flexible Giving, Immediate Deductions A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable investment account. You can donate cash, stocks, or other assets now and get an immediate tax deduction, but distribute the funds to your chosen charities later, at your own pace. Why use a DAF? It allows for strategic, larger contributions (helpful in years with unusually high income). You enjoy flexibility in choosing and timing your ultimate beneficiaries. Major brokerages like Fidelity, Schwab, and Vanguard offer DAFs, with differing minimum contributions and low-cost investment options. Keep in mind that there are administrative fees (roughly 0.60% on the first $500,000), but DAFs are simpler and less costly than setting up a private foundation. Smart Giving Starts with Smart Planning As 2026 approaches, take time to review your charitable and tax strategy. Whether using QCDs, cash gifts, appreciated assets, or a donor-advised fund, the tax code changes mean new opportunities, and some fresh requirements. Consult a financial advisor to fit these options to your personal circumstances and maximize the impact of your generosity for both your favorite causes and your family's financial wellbeing.

The ________________ of yesterday often become the ________________ of today. [Acts 9:1-2] Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord's followers. So he went to the high priest. [2] He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to bring them—both men and women—back to Jerusalem in chains. God gets the glory when he uses people with a ________________ past. [Philippians 3:12-14] I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. [13] No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, [14] I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. The longer I run this race, the further I will get from my _________, and the closer I will get to the _________. There's a big difference between ________________ your past and ________________ your past. We break the ________________ of the past by living for the ________________. [Psalms 103:12] He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. God wants us to ________________ our past, not be consumed by it. [Isaiah 43:18-19] “Do not remember the past events, pay no attention to things of old [19] Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. Don't let your ________________ keep you from living the life God has for you! Your past does not ________________ who you are, your future does.

In this episode, JoLi breaks down a chance encounter with a "deviant thinker" who thought he was alone, and delivers the truth about why feeling different isn't isolation, it's recognition. From past lives to the illusion of aging, this conversation goes deep into the nature of reality, purpose, and why some of us are wired to question everything.If you've ever felt like you don't belong, like something's fundamentally off about this world, or like you're the only one who sees through the simulation, this episode is your confirmation that you're not broken. You're a flower among spikes.

(Apologies for the sound quality)In this powerful and deeply emotional episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense Odiase confronts the three–letter question that haunts us in seasons of grief, stagnation, and spiritual warfare: WHY?Why did this happen?Why now?Why me?Why can't I move forward?Speaking transparently about losing his grandmother and sister in the same year, Norense opens up about the pain, the questions, the nights of crying, and the waves of grief that still hit without warning. But instead of staying stuck in the “why,” he walks us into a deeper truth: God doesn't require us to understand—He requires us to move.This episode is a wake-up call to stop hiding your gift, stop negotiating with fear, and stop agreeing with the lies of the enemy. Through Moses's story, scripture, and raw personal reflection, Norense reminds you that everything God placed in your hands is already enough — and your calling is still active, even in your lowest season.If you're battling discouragement, loss, confusion, or spiritual heaviness, this conversation will remind you of your authority, identity, and purpose in Christ.⸻
