Follow Everyday Prayers @MillionPrayingMoms A Prayer to Trust What We Can't SeeReference: Ephesians 5:2 This powerful reminder invites moms to step back from the urge to control and speak hastily, and instead to rest in God’s sovereignty. When we acknowledge God's position and wisdom, it helps shape our worship, words, and prayers. Be encouraged to surrender control, model humility for their children, and find peace in God's complete knowledge—even when life feels uncertain or chaotic. Prayer Lord, it's so easy for me to forget how little control I have and how limited my knowledge is. I get busy working out details and arranging schedules and somehow I can begin to think I'm actually in charge. Forgive me for all the little ways I tried to sit on your throne. Would you gently remind me of who you are and who I am? And as you move in me and in my family, Father, I'll be careful to give you all the glory. In Jesus' name, amen.

Prayer is more than a ritual or a measure of spiritual performance—it is a daily audit of our hearts in light of God's living Word. As Jesus taught in the Lord's Prayer, we are called to reorient our desires, surrender our will, and depend on God for grace, provision, and deliverance. True prayer awakens us—not a reluctant God—to His presence at our door, reshaping our priorities and transforming us into people who seek His kingdom above our own. In this way, prayer becomes less about tracking spiritual “progress” and more about being formed into the likeness of Christ through His presence. Scripture: Luke 11:1-13 NIV Jesus' Teaching on Prayer 11 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” 2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father,[a] hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.[b] 3 Give us each day our daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins,     for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c] And lead us not into temptation.[d]'” 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.' 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity[e] he will surely get up and give you as much as you need. 9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Daily Dose of Hope July 28, 2025   Scripture - Luke 1:1-25   Prayer:  Everlasting Father, We thank you that you are a God of hope.  You are a God who keeps his promises.  You are a God who always has our best interest in mind.  Forgive us for those times that we want things to go the way we want things to go.  Fill us with your wisdom and discernment.  Help us try to think about things from a more eternal perspective.  How difficult that is for us!  Lord, we submit to you our lives, our families, our jobs, our burdens, our physical bodies.  We give them to you and we trust you.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we begin the book of Luke.   Luke is considered a Jewish Gospel.  There are connections to the Old Testament throughout, specifically the fulfillment of God's promises and these promises are bigger than anyone expected.  We will highlight those as we walk through the text.  The point, though, is that the God who sent Jesus is the same God who operated throughout the Old Testament.  There is a continuity with the nation of Israel but now salvation in Jesus is being offered to everyone.  Luke is making a specific point here.   Let's talk about the author, Luke himself.  Who was he?  He gives us a brief intro in Luke, saying he is writing to a man named Theophilius, a name that means lover of God.  Some scholars say he is writing to generic believers but most think Theophilius was a specific person.  We just don't know much about him.  Luke also states that he has done a lot of research into the things that have happened but he doesn't tell us a lot about himself.   What we know is that Luke was a physician and a Gentile.  He is actually the only Gentile to write any portion of the New Testament. Paul briefly alludes to this in Colossians 4, when he makes a distinction between Luke and other colleagues “of the circumcision,” meaning the Jews.  Paul calls him the beloved physician.  Actually, while Luke doesn't name himself as author of Luke and the book of Acts, Paul refers to Luke several times.  Besides the Colossians reference, he also mentions Luke in Philemon and 2 Timothy.  Luke writes about Paul in Acts quite extensively and mentions himself a few times in subtle ways.   In today's reading, we get the first portion of the story of Zechariah.  Zechariah is a priest from the hill country near Jerusalem. Two weeks out of each year his division of priests was on duty at the temple in Jerusalem. Of course, this is where we find Zechariah faithfully going about his ordinary priestly duties. But this year, Zechariah is chosen by lot (which means he is chosen randomly, like drawing a name out of a hat) to be the one to go into the sanctuary and offer the incense offering.  So, up until this point, all is pretty ordinary and expected.  But then Scripture says in v. 11-12, Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. Whenever we read about an angel appearing to people in the Bible, they are usually afraid – angels are fierce beings.   The angel tells Zechariah that his wife, Elizabeth, will get pregnant and have a son who will be a source of joy and gladness for them.  This son will be filled with the Holy Spirit and set apart by God for a special purpose – to prepare the way of the Lord, to make people ready to receive Jesus Christ.   But this clearly catches Zechariah off guard.  He isn't convinced; in fact, he is skeptical.  So Zechariah asks the angel, “Are you really sure?  I mean my wife is kind of old.”  He is a man who has probably had years of heartbreak and disappointment. You see, Zechariah is married to Elizabeth (Elizabeth is the cousin of Mary, who becomes the mother of Jesus) and Zechariah and Elizabeth have never been able to have kids.  Now, they have gotten to the point in which they are too old to conceive.  Zechariah will soon be forced to retire from the priesthood.  Life surely hasn't happened the way he planned.  So what happens?  V.19-20, The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”   Zechariah is in the temple for a while and then when he comes out, he cannot speak.  The people assume he has seen some kind of vision because he is just making signs to them but no words are coming out of his mouth.  Nevertheless, the speechless Zechariah goes home to his wife Elizabeth, and she gets pregnant.  And Elizabeth sees the Lord's hand in these events. She exclaims in verse 25, “This is what the Lord has done for me when he looked favorably on me to take away the disgrace I have endured among my people.”   Not to spoil the story, although I figure most of you have heard it before, but Zechariah does not speak again until his son, John, is born.  This is a story about a miracle, a birth that is not just unexpected but seemingly impossible.  But it's also about how God keeps his promises.  God is faithful.  And while this is a portion of the Christmas story that we may often gloss over, it's really critical for us.  Remembering how God has proven faithful in the past—even when all hope seemed lost—builds confidence that God can be trusted in the present and the future.   There are so many times in our lives when problems seem overwhelming and when it's hard to see a way forward, when it seems like things aren't going as planned, when it feels like all hope for the future has reached a dead end.  And maybe that's where you are right now.  It's possible that you look at your life and you think, “This wasn't what I expected, God.”  Maybe you are dealing with health issues or a loved one is ill or in pain.  Maybe you are crippled by depression or anxiety.  Maybe there is a broken relationship or a financial burden or you simply feel empty.  Maybe, like Zechariah, you are feeling discouraged and a bit hopeless.    I'll be the first to tell you that I don't understand God's ways or God's timing.  But this is what I can say…the story that we read about in God's Word shows us that God is always faithful.  God is never late.  We may doubt him, we may get mad at him, we may defy him, but God will be faithful.  In Scripture, we meet a God for whom there are no dead ends – detours perhaps – but not dead ends.  You see, we meet a God who is always working for our good, even when we make a mess of things, a Jesus who specializes in making a way in the wilderness, opening up a future when none seems possible.  If you ask him, he will show up in surprising, unexpected ways; maybe not the ways we want him to, but he will be there.  You see, with Jesus, there is always HOPE for a way forward.  Always, always, always.   More tomorrow.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki      

What are you willing to give up to maintain or acquire good relationships? Are you willing to sacrifice for the sake of peace and give up your rights in order to reconcile?

1. PEACE WITH GOD "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1The Problem: Sin separates us from GodThe Solution: Jesus bridges the gapThe Result: No more guilt, no more shame, no more fear of judgmentDo you have peace with God or peace with your sin.Some people think it means that I am okay with God now… I added him to my life I am not mad at him. THATS NOT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS (Sin)10 For if, while we were God's enemies,we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Romans 5:10 John 16:1-11 and Verse 33"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7The Problem: Worry and anxietyThe Solution: Prayer and trustThe Result: Supernatural calm that doesn't make senseAs the guard looks on through a peep hole, Bonhoeffer prays, "Lord, it's dark in me; in you is day. I am alone, but you will stay. I am afraid; you never cease. I am at war; in you is peace." Slowly we see a pair of hands reach up and touch the wall opposite of where Bonhoeffer's hands are.As dawn breaks, a single rifle shot shatters the morning calm. The same German guard, now more somber and less cynical, appears at Bonhoeffer's cell. "I thought you might like to know. The boy from the next cell—he was very calm. It surprised everyone. He was executed this morning."Illustration #2 Anxiety and fear can come from looking to things other than God for our identity and worth. God's peace as the security that comes from knowing our identity is rooted in being beloved children of God, not in our performance, others' opinions, or our circumstances. When we know who we are in Christ, we're freed from the exhausting cycle of trying to prove ourselves.Lose your job… You may lose yourselfLose your Status… You may lose yourselfLose your beauty… Lose yourselfSexuality, gender,political ideology… Lose yourselfJEsus Cals the storm> Mark 4:39“Peace be still…” Rest beneath the rest3. PEACE WITH OTHERS "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."Romans 12:18The Problem: Broken relationshipsThe Solution: Forgiveness and loveThe Result: Harmony in your home, workplace, and community"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." - Isaiah 26:3"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." - Philippians 4:8Romans 12:2 be transformed to the renewing of your mind."Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9The great command of scripture. “Fear not” 64 Times, “Be Strong and courageous” 15 timesExperiencing fear is a normal human emotion, and courage is not about not feeling fear, but rather about acting in spite of it"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." - Colossians 3:132.

July 27 | Why Should I Forgive? by Browncroft Community Church

Scripture: 1 Samuel 24, Matthew 7:20, Numbers 15:37-39, Romans 12:19, Deuteronomy 32:35, Leviticus 19:18, Mark 11:25, Luke 6:28, Romans 12:20, Proverbs 25:21-22, Romans 12:21. Today's class is entitled, “Revenge” and Pastor will compare worldly wisdom with biblical wisdom on the topic of revenge.  As we read chapter 24 of 1 Samuel, we read that David is now in en Gedi and Saul has found out and is headed along with 3000 men to en Gedi to find David. En Gedi is a wilderness area but it has several springs and many caves for hiding. As the story continues, Saul went into one of these caves to relieve himself. Unbeknownst to Saul, David and his men were further back into the cave hiding. David's men prompted David that this was his chance, his opportunity to put an end to the hiding by killing Saul. But instead David crept up unnoticed and cut off a corner of Saul's robe. This is action is prophetic. The Hebrew word that is used for “corner” is kanaf. It refers the corners of a Hebrew robe or prayer shawl. The scriptures were particular about what was to be on the corners of those robes. Numbers 15:37-39 “…make tassels on the corners of your garments….you will have these tassels to look at… to remember all the commands of the Lord that you may obey them …”  And David cuts off a corner tassel. The tassel, was to remind Saul to walk in God's path rather than his own path, to walk in God's will and not his own will. The tassel was to say pursue peace, be honorable, be faithful, walk by faith. Saul had abandoned those things and when David cut it off it was a prophetic act showing Saul's wandering from God's will. Next we read that David's conscience convicted him for cutting off the corner of Saul's robe. He tells his men that he shouldn't have done that to the Lord's anointed king, Saul. David's men encourage revenge but David stands strong saying that it would be contrary to God's plan and will. David rebukes the men and doesn't allow them to attack Saul. Instead David exits the cave calling to Saul and bowing down he says, “Why do you listen when they say David is bent on harming you. This day you have seen with your own eyes how the Lord delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you. I will not lay my hand on my Lord because you are the Lord's anointed. See this tassel of your robe in my hand, yet I did not kill you, but you hunt me down to take my life.” David holds Saul accountable even as he shows the heart and grace of God to Saul. We see that the activities of a person are a window into his heart and if we seek revenge we are going contrary to the heart of God. We can deal with unjust treatment and  still refuse revenge while still holding the individual accountable. Saul wept at David's words saying, “You are more righteous than I. You have treated me well but I have treated you badly.” What does God say about revenge?         -         Romans 12:19 - revenge is the Lord's - God is the righteous judge and he will judge in the end Resisting Revenge         -         Love your enemy Leviticus 19:18         -         Forgive your enemy Mark 11:25 (this doesn't mean we approve of what they have done, it does mean we let go of the bitterness, anger and desire for revenge.)         -         Pray for your enemy Luke 6:28         -         Feed your enemy Romans 12:20 as this can draw them into repentance before God. Pastor ends with Romans 12:21: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” This is how we are called to act. That's what we see in David and that is what we see in the heart of God.

ADHD & Self-Awareness: Understanding Your Unique BrainCarmen (voice-over): Hey everyone, it's Carmen here from Authentically ADHD. Have you ever felt like you just don't know yourself? Like your brain is a mystery you can't solve? (I see your hand – yes, you too!) You're not alone. Today we're talking about ADHD and self-awareness – what that even means, why it's so tricky for us ADHDers, and how to start building trust in ourselves anyway. We'll go deep into the science, share real-life stories (hey, I'm no exception!), and even throw in a little humor – because sometimes laughing at our quirks is the best medicine.Quick overview: In this episode, I'll explain why ADHD makes self-awareness hard (from executive functions to time blindness), how that struggle feels (frustration, self-doubt, and those emotional roller coasters), and then dive into practical strategies for building self-trust and insight. I'll break it down into tips for teens and adults, since our brains and lives can be a bit different. Ready? Let's go!Why ADHD Brains Struggle with Self-AwarenessFirst, let's define what we mean by self-awareness. Simply put, it's your ability to self-reflect, self-evaluate, and think about your own thinking. Think of it as the “brain's mirror” – it lets you see your behaviors, emotions, and thoughts clearly, and learn from them. In psychology terms, it's often called metacognition. Researchers note that self-awareness is a key executive function – basically one of our brain's management skills. Unfortunately, ADHD often comes with executive function challenges, and yes, self-awareness is one of those tricky pieces.Dr. Russell Barkley, a leading ADHD researcher, actually puts it bluntly: ADHD is a disorder of self-regulation. We struggle to “adult” not because we're lazy or bad, but because the brain skills that manage ourselves were delayed or impaired. In fact, Barkley's team points out that ADHD involves deficits in things like self-restraint, self-awareness, self-control of emotion, and self-motivation. In other words, our internal “boss” is weaker. Kristen Carder – another expert and host of the I Have ADHD podcast – explains it simply: “ADHD is a disorder of self-regulation… we struggle to focus because our executive functions are deficient, and we can't regulate ourselves properly.”.Let's break down the key brain reasons behind this:Deficient Executive Functions (EFs): Executive functions are like the brain's CEO, planning tasks and managing actions. In ADHD, these are on the lower side. One of the six main EFs is exactly self-awareness (along with inhibition, working memory, etc.). Because ADHDers often have impaired EFs, our ability to notice and reflect on ourselves is less mature. Barkley even describes ADHD as a sort of “self-regulation deficit disorder,” meaning most EF skills are lagging. This isn't your fault – it's how the ADHD brain developed.Weak Working Memory: Working memory is your mental scratchpad – it holds pieces of information so you can use them in the moment. With ADHD, working memory (especially visual/spatial memory) often underperforms. Kristen Carder highlights this: our working memory should help us understand where we are in time and space, but ADHD brains tend to live too much in the “right now”. We literally forget what just happened or where we put things in seconds! This weak working memory means we struggle to recall past actions or project future consequences – both of which are vital for self-awareness.Time Blindness: Related to working memory is a phenomenon you've probably heard: time blindness. Dr. Barkley calls ADHD a “nearsightedness to the future.” He explains that people with ADHD are great at the “now,” but tend to lose track of time and future planning. On a practical level, this means deadlines sneak up on us, and we hyperfocus on immediate tasks without realizing how long they take. As one occupational therapist blog put it, ADHD time blindness is a “consistent inability to stay aware of time and consider the future in the present moment”. If you feel like hours can vanish in a blink – like you just started watching Netflix and suddenly it's midnight – that's the classic ADHD time warp. Without a good sense of past vs. future, it's tough to reflect on what really happened or plan for what will happen, hurting our self-awareness.Emotional & Cognitive Overload: Let's not forget emotional regulation, a cousin to self-awareness. ADHD often comes with intense emotions. A study describes ADHDers having overactive amygdalas (emotion centers) and underactive frontal cortex (self-control center). The result? We feel things more strongly and have a harder time stepping back. When an emotional wave hits, self-reflection goes out the window. (Ever snapped at a loved one then immediately felt guilty but couldn't explain why? Welcome to ADHD emotions.) When our emotions are surging and our working memory is full of racing thoughts, self-monitoring simply doesn't happen. It's like trying to inspect your car while it's driving 100 mph – hard to do!To sum up: Our ADHD brains often have weaker mental checking-stations. We're built to do (and do lots of things at once!), but not naturally built to watch ourselves doing it. This combination of EF deficits, fuzzy time perception, and big feelings makes self-awareness elusive. It's not a character flaw – it's brain wiring. And understanding this fact can be a huge relief. As Kristen Carder gently reminds us, “It's not because you're lazy or dumb, it's because your executive function skills are deficient.”When Self-Awareness Lags: Frustration and Self-DoubtBecause of these brain differences, not being very self-aware in ADHD can lead to some painful and confusing feelings. Let's be real: it's frustrating. You make the same mistakes over and over (feeding the dog after work instead of before, again!), and you can't put your finger on why. Kristen Carder admits that “making the same mistakes over and over… is in part because of lack of self-awareness”. You might constantly feel, “Why do I keep doing this?” and blame yourself for “not paying attention” or being “careless.”This frustration often spirals into self-doubt. If you're always confused about how you ended up here, it's easy to start thinking there's something wrong with you. People with ADHD commonly internalize shame. Maybe your teacher said you were lazy, or your boss has yelled “just focus!” one too many times. Dr. Saline notes that ADHDers often have more self-criticism and have to work extra hard to develop metacognition. If you've tried and failed at organizing or remembering, you may feel like you should know better – even though, neuro-scientifically, your brain literally struggles in those areas.Worse, poor self-awareness can feed into emotional turmoil. The Verywell Mind article on ADHD emotional dysregulation points out that intense emotions and ADHD create “self-doubt and uncertainty surrounding your feelings.” Imagine overreacting to something small (a spilled coffee feels like the end of the world) and afterward thinking “Am I crazy? Why do I feel this strongly? Am I making too much out of nothing?” Your brain's amygdala fires off a storm, and then your frontal lobe struggles to calm it. All this leads to a painful cycle: you feel overwhelmed, regret your reaction, then start doubting if your emotions were valid at all.On the flip side, others see you acting impulsive or scattered and often misinterpret you. They might label you “irresponsible” or “unmotivated,” which hurts. For example, in school a student with ADHD might frequently miss deadlines or seem to procrastinate, not because they don't care, but because “they have difficulty estimating how much time has passed or how long a task will take”. Teachers sometimes think that's willful misbehavior, not realizing it's our brains. Or maybe friends get annoyed because you interrupt conversations (you had about a million ideas to share, didn't you?), or your partner thinks you're aloof when really you're just lost in thought. The gap between the internal experience (“I'm overwhelmed and panicked!”) and the external behavior (“She doesn't care”) is real, and that gap fuels frustration.In short, struggling with self-awareness often looks like: repeating mistakes, feeling confused and anxious about your own actions, and battling guilt or self-criticism when others misread your ADHD traits. It's emotionally draining. But here's the hopeful flip side: knowing the “why” can help you reframe these feelings. When you realize it's ADHD wiring, you can start treating yourself with compassion instead of blame. Recognizing that your brain is just wired differently – not “wrong” – is the first big step to building trust in yourself.AD BREAKInside vs. Outside: Living with ADHD from Both SidesLet's take a quick look at that inside/outside story. Internally, ADHD brains are a whirlwind of thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Externally, people might see the aftermath and misunderstand it. Some examples:Inside (Internal Experience): You're juggling thoughts about work deadlines, why your crush hasn't texted back, the groceries you forgot, and that song stuck in your head. You feel an urge to do something about something but aren't sure what. Maybe an emotion flares – frustration, excitement, anxiety – and your body reacts (heart races, hands fidget). Time feels like fluid: one minute into an activity, 5 minutes have passed; five minutes later, 2 hours have gone by. You might think, “I know I had an important task – what happened to that?!” or “I had a burst of creativity at 3 am – why couldn't I use that during the day?”Outside (Behavior Others See): From the outside, that might look like you spaced out during a meeting, then suddenly snapped at a coworker. Or you were hyper-focused on organizing your bookshelves, only to snap back when someone asked where your homework is. Friends might say, “She was so quiet earlier, now she's yelling about nothing” or “He started cleaning the house at 2 a.m. again!” Partners might feel like they live with someone who's unpredictable – one moment “present,” the next moment distant or distracted. Teachers sometimes see kids with ADHD as unruly or lazy: a student might rush through a test carelessly because they felt they needed to finish fast, and the teacher hears “she didn't do her work carefully.”This mismatch can be heartbreaking. People might not realize that inside your head, you were frantically trying to tie clues together or waiting for your brain to slow down. Kristen Carder reminds us: self-awareness is uncomfortable for ADHDers – it “might bring up a lot of shame and guilt”. It's understandable – we often feel like we should be better, and when we aren't, it stings.Remember, though: the gap isn't your fault, it's the ADHD wiring. Educational research shows that behaviors we label as “misbehavior” (like missing deadlines or rushing through work) are actually symptoms of impaired time-processing in ADHD. The good news is, once we understand this gap, we can start bridging it with communication and strategies (more on that next). For now, know that you're not alone in feeling misunderstood, and it doesn't mean something is wrong with you. Your brain is doing its best with the tools it's given.ADSPractical Strategies: Building Self-Trust and AwarenessOkay, let's get practical. How do we strengthen that elusive self-awareness muscle and learn to trust our ADHD brains? We'll tackle this in two parts: tips for teens and tips for adults. (If you're a teen, skip to the teen section; if you're an adult, flip to the adult section.)For Teens with ADHDAs a teenager, life is hectic for anyone, and ADHD adds its own roller coaster. Many of you might feel like nobody gets how chaotic it is. Here are some tips:Keep a daily “self-check” routine. Set a reminder on your phone or watch. Twice a day (maybe mid-school and after school), take a minute: How am I feeling right now? What have I been doing? Even just a quick note (writing, texting to yourself, or voice memo) can anchor you to the present. One idea: use emojis in your calendar to rate your mood or energy. This builds metacognition. For example, put a

Today… we're tackling a commandment you might be tempted to skip over in your examination of conscience.The fifth commandment: “You shall not kill.”Now if you're anything like me, your first thought might be:“Well, I haven't murdered anyone. I'm good here. Let's move on.”But, Jesus takes this commandment, like He does all the others, and flips the script. He says in Matthew 5:22:“Everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment.”So it's not just about murder. It's about the heart behind it. It's about the ways we choose death over life in our words, actions, even in the quiet corners of our souls.Life is SacredThe Catechism of the Catholic Church (2258) reminds us that human life is sacred—from the moment of conception to natural death—because we are made in the image of God. You, me, every person we meet carries a divine fingerprint. So to harm another human being is dishonoring the Creator.No one has the right to destroy an innocent human life. And that truth is really the foundation for everything else the Church teaches about life—from abortion, to euthanasia, to suicide, and to war.Life is not ours to take. It's ours to protect.What About Self-Defense?Now someone might ask, “But what if someone is trying to kill me? Or hurt my family?”The Church teaches that self-defense can be permitted. If you're in a situation where force is needed to protect yourself or others, it can be morally justified as long as your intention is to preserve life, and not to kill. But to go beyond what is  necessary crosses a line. (CCC 2263–2265)It's all about intention. Protecting life is the goal—even in conflict.Abortion & EuthanasiaThe fifth commandment also applies to abortion which the US Bishops have delcared as the preeminent issue. The Church teaches clearly (CCC 2270) that human life must be protected from the moment of conception. The unborn child in the womb is not just “potential life”- it is human life, and life, even in its most vulnerable form, has value.The same goes for euthanasia. Ending the life of someone who is sick or disabled—even with good intentions—is not the answer. Every person, no matter their condition, deserves respect and care. That doesn't mean we have to prolong suffering at all costs—sometimes it's okay to stop treatments that are extreme or burdensome. But there's a difference between letting someone die naturally and intentionally causing death. (CCC 2276–2278)Suicide, Mental Health, and MercyThis commandment also brings to mind a very difficult and sensitive topic: suicide. The Church teaches that suicide goes against the love of self, love of neighbor, and love of God. But it also teaches that mental illness, trauma, and deep suffering—can lessen a person's responsibility. (CCC 2280–2283)So, if you've lost someone to suicide know, the Church does not condemn them. In fact, we pray for them. We entrust them to God's mercy—because only He knows the depths of their pain. And if you're struggling yourself, please—reach out. You are loved. You are not alone. Call 988 to talk to someone who can help, or visit the 988 Lifeline. Words That Hurt, Scandal That KillsThe Fifth Commandment also covers what we might call “everyday violence”—not just physical, but emotional and spiritual. Have you ever said something that crushed someone's spirit? Have you ever gossiped, slandered, or lashed out in anger? Anger and hatred can kill, even if no blood is spilled.Then there's scandal—leading someone else into sin. That, too, is a form of spiritual death. If our actions cause someone else to fall away from God, that is serious. (CCC 2284)Caring for Our Own LivesThis commandment includes how we treat our own bodies. Life is a gift entrusted to us, and we're stewards of it. That means taking care of our health, avoiding addiction, being mindful of food, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. (CCC 2288–2291)God wants us alive—not just physically, but fully alive in Him.Peace Over AngerSo how do we start to live this out?It begins with peace. Jesus tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Not just tolerate them. Love them.Easier said than done, right?But that's the challenge of the 5th Commandment. It's not just a “don't do bad things” rule. It's a call to actively protect and promote life in all its forms.So ask yourself:Do my words build others up—or tear them down?Do I hold onto grudges or offer forgiveness?Am I honoring the gift of my own life—body, mind, and soul?Do I value all life, even the ones society says are disposable?This commandment is so much more than “Don't kill.” It's a lifestyle. A posture. A way of loving that honors the sacredness in every single person—including yourself.So this week, look for ways to choose life:Apologize. Forgive. Speak kindly. Defend the vulnerable. Take care of your body. Be patient. Let go of bitterness.And above all—remember that your life, and the lives around you, are not random or disposable.They are precious, on purpose, and worth protecting.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"music by audionautix.com"Adventures by A Himitsu https://soundcloud.com/a-himitsuMusic released by Argofox https://youtu.be/8BXNwnxaVQEMusic provided by Audio Library https://youtu.be/MkNeIUgNPQ8

Daily Dose of Hope July 25, 2025   Scripture – Matthew 28:16-20   Prayer:  Almighty Father, Thank you for a new day and thank you that your mercies are new every single morning.  How grateful we are that we can start afresh and anew each day.  Forgive us for the many times we fell short, for when we weren't loving, for when we were easily angered, for when our patience wore thin. Today, help us represent you well.  In all things, may we be reminded who and whose we are.  We are yours.  In Your Name, Amen.   Today's reading includes the Great Commission, which we find in Matthew 28:16-20.  If you don't recall, this is when Jesus tells his follows, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”   There is a fair amount to unpack here but what I want to focus on is making disciples.  Keep in mind that Jesus wasn't merely suggesting we make disciples.  It feels much more like a command here.  As his followers, we are to make disciples of all nations, baptize them, and teach them the ways of Jesus.  We don't do this alone, but we rest in the promise that Jesus is with us all the time, guiding and leading us through the power of the Holy Spirit.   But here is the big question: What does it mean to be a disciple?   It's fairly simple.  A disciple is an apprentice of Jesus. It is someone who actively is working/training to become more like Jesus (to do what Jesus does). A disciple is not someone who has simply said yes to Jesus, a disciple is someone who is actively training in the ways of Jesus and training others in the ways of Jesus.   Discipleship is not simply some acts of personal devotion in the morning, some bible study, prayer, and meditation. That may be a component of discipleship but there is so much more to it!  Being a disciple is not something we do at church and then set it aside as we go back into the real world. Being a disciple is about devoting our whole life to being like Christ. Our whole life. It effects every area of our life. How can it not?   Let's think about Jesus. In every area of his life, he taught about God. He taught about God's Kingdom, he showed people this new way of being human. There was never a time where he said, “No, now this part of my life, faith doesn't affect this. Leave me alone and let me do my own thing.”  Discipleship is intricately connected to Lordship. There is no part of our life that does not fall under God's reign. There is no part of our life that we don't submit to God.   But how do we make disciples?  Well, first, we have to become disciples ourselves.  We have to be training to be more like Jesus.  There is intentionality in this.  How are you training to be like Jesus?  What is your plan for spiritual growth?  Once you have reflected on this, then think about how you will teach and train others.  This is a privilege and responsibility that every single Christ-follower has.  Every one of us.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki    

Carl needs forgiveness for something his wife Andrea dug out of the trash!

In this powerful conversation, we're diving deep into self-forgiveness—what it is, why it's so hard, and how to actually begin the process of releasing regret and reclaiming your power in sobriety. I'm also walking you through a powerful 3-minute reflection practice from my brand-new Self-Forgiveness Starter Kit—designed to help you stop punishing yourself and start moving forward. Because your past doesn't get to have the final word. You do. ✨ In this episode, you'll discover: Why shame feels necessary—and why that belief is hurting you How rumination blocks your ability to move forward The emotional + physical toll of carrying unresolved guilt The truth about what forgiveness really means (and what it doesn't) A simple practice to reset your mindset and start healing today This isn't just mindset work—it's a full-body reset for anyone stuck in guilt, self-punishment, or emotional paralysis after quitting drinking. If you're tired of carrying your past like a weight, and you're ready to build something better… it all starts with one radical act:

When the Bottom Falls Out in Your Life, Ask God to Get Involved Through Prayer AND Thanks – You will Be Amazed! MESSAGE SUMMARY: Sometimes the bottom falls out in your life, and you wonder where God is in all your stuff. Well, the challenge to you is to “Thank God” by turning your eyes away from all your life's “stuff” and turning your eyes to God and thanking Him! We have no better teacher, of the need to address God with our thanks, than when, in Luke11:2, Jesus responded to His Disciples' request to teach them to pray: “And he said to them, ‘When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.'". By taking your situation to God in prayer AND thanks, you will be amazed at what will happen to your situation which, before you asked God through prayer AND thanks, seemed insurmountable. What do you usually do? You worry and fret – you focus on the negative and give the adverse situation so much power, in your life, rather than focusing on God and giving Him thanks. In Mathew 6:34, Jesus tells you not to be anxious about your life situations: “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.". Ask God to get involved in your life through prayer and thanks – you will be amazed.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, may your will, not my will, be done in my life. You know how easy it is to call myself a Christian but then become busy, forgetting about your will and desires. Forgive me for this sin. Help me listen to you, and grant me the courage to faithfully surrender to you. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 25). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, My life is about Christ (Philippians 1:21). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): 1 Corinthians 11:25; Colossians 2:2-3; John 10:25-30; Psalms 17:1-15. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

One thing has taken the internet by storm this week: the couple caught having an affair at the Coldplay concert. It has millions of people talking about it, so we wanted to ask the question: "why does cheating happen and is it ever okay?!" and "can couples actually forgive and forget?". From reality TV dating shows that romanticize open relationships and encourage couples to keep their options open, there's a lot to discuss about this topic!We dive into our perspectives on relationship commitment and of course share some side stories and giggles along the way.Thanks so much for listening/watching! We'd love to stay connected with you! Follow us on Instagram @ClancyBurke and @GabriellePayne_ and our podcast Instagram @offtherecordpodcast_. Much love to you, pals!

Why is forgiveness so hard? How long will you carry the weight of the past instead of building a brighter future? In this episode, Christine Motley opens up about a powerful realization: she had been holding on to unforgiveness, and now, she's intentionally working to release the past and embrace healing. None of us are perfect. We all fall short. But if we hope to receive grace for our own imperfection and mistakes, we must also be the kind of phenomenal women who extends that same grace to others. You'll heart about:  how unforgiveness stunts your growth,  the impact unforgiveness has on relationships,  feeling stuck in your 40s,  practical steps to releasing unforgivess,  therapy,  letting down your guard of protection,  the importance of giving the past version of yourself grace,  the power of choosing love over bitterness, and shifting your focus from what was to what's possible.   At the end of the episode, we reframe her limiting belief, "you can't forgive them", to fit more within Christine's desired reality. Stay tuned until the end to shift your mindset. Connect With Us! @christine_beautiful @lauren.e.will @ipwomanpodcast imperfectlyphenom.com

Think of it as kind of an energetic cleanse. The Sun's Sabian symbol is 3 Leo, A woman having her hair bobbed. Pluto's Sabian symbol is 3 Aquarius, A deserter from the navy. Let go, stand firm in your truth, and don't be afraid to challenge the rules that don't fit. [27:08] Listener Questions will be back next week!

Jonah shows us that our call for justice can be even greater than God's. God is ready to forgive at the point of repentance, but we want to see justice paid. But justice was paid on a cross for them and us. Keep this story in mind the next time you're bitter at someone walking in God's grace and mercy before you think they deserve it. Jonah 3:10 When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it. 4:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.Following Jesus and enjoying life are not mutually exclusive.

Teacher: Adam Barnett2 Samuel 16:5-8 – As King David approached Bahurim, a man from the same clan as Saul's family came out from there. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and he cursed as he came out. He pelted David and all the king's officials with stones, though all the troops and the special guard were on David's right and left. As he cursed, Shimei said, “Get out, get out, you murderer, you scoundrel! The Lord has repaid you for all the blood you shed in the household of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. The Lord has given the kingdom into the hands of your son Absalom. You have come to ruin because you are a murderer!”“Few offenses plunge deeper into our flesh than false accusations, particularly when they're hurled at us when we are vulnerable.” – Charles SwindollCan you relate to David in this story… because you've been mistreated and falsely accused?2 Samuel 16:9-12 – Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head.” But the king said, “What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord said to him, ‘Curse David,' who can ask, ‘Why do you do this?'” David then said to Abishai and all his officials, “My son, my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the Lord has told him to. It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today.”Can you relate to Abishai… because your instinct in a situation was to retaliate?2 Samuel 16:13-14 – So David and his men continued along the road while Shimei was going along the hillside opposite him, cursing as he went and throwing stones at him and showering him with dirt. The king and all the people with him arrived at their destination exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.2 Samuel 19:15, 18b-23 – Then the king returned and went as far as the Jordan. When Shimei son of Gera crossed the Jordan, he fell prostrate before the king and said to him, “May my lord not hold me guilty. Do not remember how your servant did wrong on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem. May the king put it out of his mind. For I your servant know that I have sinned, but today I have come here as the first from the tribes of Joseph to come down and meet my lord the king.” Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “Shouldn't Shimei be put to death for this? He cursed the Lord's anointed.” David replied, “What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? What right do you have to interfere? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? Don't I know that today I am king over Israel?” So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king promised him on oath.Can you relate to Shimei in this story… because you've hurt someone and need to make it right?1 Kings 2:8-9 (paraphrased) – “And remember, you have with you Shimei … who called down bitter curses on me … When he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the Lord: ‘I will not put you to death by the sword.' But now, do not consider him innocent. You are a man of wisdom; you will know what to do to him. Bring his gray head down to the grave in blood.”Can you relate to David, because you're holding on to bitterness for hurt you've experienced?“David at his best, and at his worst, is one of ourselves. David is a man of like passions with ourselves. David held back his bad passions at Saul, and at Shimei, and at Joab, occasion after occasion, until we were almost worshipping David. But, all the time, and all unknown to us, they were there.” – Alexander Whyte1 - EXPECT FOR PEOPLE TO THROW STONESGalatians 1:10 – Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.2 - BE CAREFUL WHO YOU LISTEN TO3 - FORGIVENESS IS ALWAYS A GOOD CHOICEColossians 3:13 – Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.“When you forgive the person who hurt you deeply and unfairly, you perform a miracle that has no equal.” – Lewis Smedes

PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Gracious and forgiving God, thank you for always welcoming us—no matter how heavy our burdens or how many times we've messed up. Without your love and invitation to come as we are, we'd be overwhelmed by the weight of our pain and mistakes. We're tired—tired of struggling with the same habits, of the stress and hurt in our families, of the inner battles we fight daily. The past clings to us, and we feel worn out. But with you, there is peace. With you, there is room to breathe, to heal, to begin again. You meet us with hope and remind us that we're not alone. Hear the silent cries of our hearts today.

She was sought as a bride by many because of her exceptional beauty and wisdom as well as her noble birth. She was betrothed at a young age, and when her betrothed died, she refused to consider any more suitors, saying that since her betrothed was alive in Christ, it was not right for her to turn to another. Instead she turned to a life of virginity, ascetic struggle and prayer. She greatly influenced her younger brothers, turning them from worldly things to monastic life. She established a monastery and, with her mother Emilia, became a nun. She reposed in peace in 379.   Her brother St Gregory of Nyssa held her in special honor. He was present at her death and gave a moving oration at her funeral. He describes how, in her last moments, she prayed thus to God: 'Thou, O Lord, givest rest to our bodies in the sleep of death for a little time, then Thou wilt waken them again with the Last Trumpet. Forgive me, and grant that, when my soul is parted from my body, it may be presented before Thee stainless and without sin, and that it may be as incense before Thee.' Then she made the sign of the Cross on her brow, eyes, face and heart, and died. St Gregory's work on the resurrection of the dead (available in English as On the Soul and Resurrection) is cast in the form of a dialogue between himself and his sister Macrina in which he is the earnest but ignorant student and she the wise and patient teacher. So do the Saints honor the Saints.

LESSON 200There Is No Peace Except The Peace Of God.Seek you no further. You will not find peace except the peace of God. Accept this fact, and save yourself the agony of yet more bitter disappointments, bleak despair, and sense of icy hopelessness and doubt. Seek you no further. There is nothing else for you to find except the peace of God, unless you seek for misery and pain.This is the final point to which each one must come at last, to lay aside all hope of finding happiness where there is none; of being saved by what can only hurt; of making peace of chaos, joy of pain, and Heaven out of hell. Attempt no more to win through losing, nor to die to live. You cannot but be asking for defeat.Yet you can ask as easily for love, for happiness, and for eternal life in peace that has no ending. Ask for this, and you can only win. To ask for what you have already must succeed. To ask that what is false be true can only fail. Forgive yourself for vain imaginings, and seek no longer what you cannot find. For what could be more foolish than to seek and seek and seek again for hell, when you have but to look with open eyes to find that Heaven lies before you, through a door that opens easily to welcome you?Come home. You have not found your happiness in foreign places and in alien forms that have no meaning to you, though you sought to make them meaningful. This world is not where you belong. You are a stranger here. But it is given you to find the means whereby the world no longer seems to be a prison house or jail for anyone.Freedom is given you where you beheld but chains and iron doors. But you must change your mind about the purpose of the world, if you would find escape. You will be bound till all the world is seen by you as blessed, and everyone made free of your mistakes and honored as he is. You made him not; no more yourself. And as you free the one, the other is accepted as he is.What does forgiveness do? In truth it has no function, and does nothing. For it is unknown in Heaven. It is only hell where it is needed, and where it must serve a mighty function. Is not the escape of God's beloved Son from evil dreams that he imagines, yet believes are true, a worthy purpose? Who could hope for more, while there appears to be a choice to make between success and failure; love and fear?There is no peace except the peace of God, because He has one Son who cannot make a world in opposition to God's Will and to his own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to find in such a world? It cannot have reality, because it never was created. Is it here that he would seek for peace? Or must he see that, as he looks on it, the world can but deceive? Yet can he learn to look on it another way, and find the peace of God.Peace is the bridge that everyone will cross, to leave this world behind. But peace begins within the world perceived as different, and leading from this fresh perception to the gate of Heaven and the way beyond. Peace is the answer to conflicting goals, to senseless journeys, frantic, vain pursuits, and meaningless endeavors. Now the way is easy, sloping gently toward the bridge where freedom lies within the peace of God.Let us not lose our way again today. We go to Heaven, and the path is straight. Only if we attempt to wander can there be delay, and needless wasted time on thorny byways. God alone is sure, and He will guide our footsteps. He will not desert His Son in need, nor let him stray forever from his home. The Father calls; the Son will hear. And that is all there is to what appears to be a world apart from God, where bodies have reality.Now is there silence. Seek no further. You have come to where the road is carpeted with leaves of false desires, fallen from the trees of hopelessness you sought before. Now are they underfoot. And you look up and on toward Heaven, with the body's eyes but serving for an instant longer now. Peace is already recognized at last, and you can feel its soft embrace surround your heart and mind with comfort and with love.Today we seek no idols. Peace can not be found in them. The peace of God is ours, and only this will we accept and want. Peace be to us today. For we have found a simple, happy way to leave the world of ambiguity, and to replace our shifting goals and solitary dreams with single purpose and companionship. For peace is union, if it be of God. We seek no further. We are close to home, and draw still nearer every time we say:There is no peace except the peace of God,And I am glad and thankful it is so.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into critical mindset, leadership, and business growth strategies for coaches aiming for six and seven-figure practices. They break down the psychology of self-sabotage, share frameworks to reprogram negative thinking, discuss the power of humility, and reveal why breaking complexity into "threes" is a game-changer in coaching and business leadership. The episode also offers tactical advice on creating effective demonstrations for client acquisition, maximizing wealth, and learning from industry giants like Elon Musk. Key Topics Covered Overcoming Self-Sabotage in Coaching Karl Bryan and Rode Dog outline a four-step mental pattern for self-sabotage, including how coaches attach setbacks to their identity and spiral into negative action. The solution: shift focus to learnings and gratitude, solidify a stronger self-identity, practice self-forgiveness, and set big, audacious goals to play bigger. The Power of the “Three Framework” The hosts explain why breaking concepts into sets of three—be it frameworks, leadership techniques, or messaging—enhances recall and action. Examples abound, from “lead gen, conversion, fulfillment” to Amazon's focus on “low prices, vast selection, fast delivery.” Zen and Humility in Business They discuss how humility is a superpower for entrepreneurs seeking long-term wealth and freedom—not just flashy material wins. Professionals focus on what could go wrong, guard their wealth, and aim for optionality, not just accumulation. Amateur vs. Pro Mindset Amateurs practice until they get it right; pros practice until they can't get it wrong. Thought patterns, decision-making, and actions must all level up for true mastery in business coaching. Leadership Through Threes CEO essentials: visual scoreboard, leverage, structure. Founders' three reflection questions: What don't I see? Where are my assumptions incorrect? What do I need to learn? Leadership in practice: Ask, listen, learn. Elon Musk and First Principles Thinking Break big problems into small parts and don't fear starting at the fundamental level—applicable for coaches needing to revamp their demo, offer, or client acquisition process. Vulnerability and Authenticity in Coaching Why trying to appear perfect hurts coaching conversions and authentic rapport; admitting flaws and sharing real stories is a conversion superpower. Notable Quotes “When you succeed, you party. When you fail, you ponder. There's a lot of money in pondering.” “You want your present to be better? You need to make your future bigger.” (attributed to Dan Sullivan) “Amateurs practice until they get it right, pros practice until they can't get it wrong.” “The person that comes across as too perfect… is the person that will screw you over 10x.” “Defense wins championships. Are you and your clients playing defense as well as offense?” Actionable Takeaways Rewire for Success: When facing setbacks, actively seek out lessons, practice gratitude, and attach positive, aspirational “I am” statements to your identity. Forgive yourself often and set bigger goals to avoid playing small. Harness the Power of Three: Break down complex strategies, presentations, or learning models into three key points for maximum retention and clarity. Examples: Lead Gen, Conversion, Fulfillment; Ask, Listen, Learn; Visual Scoreboard, Leverage, Structure. Practice Humility: Focus on optionality and long-term wealth, not just flashy success; stay humble, and aim to be trainable and open to learning like an investor rather than just a producer. Demonstrate Don't Explain: Develop and perfect a dynamic demonstration of your coaching value to secure clients—don't just rely on explanations. Prioritize Defense: Regularly assess risk, improve financial “defense,” and focus as much on wealth preservation as on new client acquisition. Embrace Vulnerability: Be authentic in your story and interactions—share failures as well as successes to build deeper client rapport and trust.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where together we journey through Scripture and discover the treasures God has for us each day. In today's episode, Host Hunter invites us into readings from Isaiah chapters 25 through 28 and Hebrews chapter 13, encouraging us to reflect on where we truly find lasting treasure. We'll hear about God's promises of hope in the midst of ruins, His faithfulness to the oppressed, and the remarkable gift of Jesus—who, as Hunter powerfully reminds us, was found “out in the trash heap,” discarded but offering the greatest treasure the world has ever known. Join us as we rest in God's Word, pray together, and remember the deep truth that we are not alone—united as brothers and sisters, loved beyond measure, and called to share that love with the world. Let's encounter perfect peace, real strength, and God's unending grace, together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: One man's trash is another man's treasure. I used to work as a garbage man for the city of Rockledge, Florida, and I can tell you that that's true. Some of the stuff that people threw away, I was sure to collect. It was still good. There was still a lot of life there. There was a treasure. And never has that been more true than in today's reading. We're told not to seek treasure in something new. The treasure we need is not found out there. Verse 9 says so. Do not be attracted by strange new ideas. Your strength comes from God's grace, not from rules about food which don't help those who follow them. Nor is our treasure to be found in the old. The old rules, the old sacrificial system. The treasures we are looking for can't be found there either. The treasure we are looking for, that we need, that the world is desperate for. The greatest treasure ever given is to be found in the most unlikely places. It's going to be found in the trash heap. In the old system, the sacrifice was made on an altar in the tabernacle, in the most important place in the world. There, the priest would offer a perfect gift, shedding the blood of an animal on the holy place as a sacrifice for sins. Then the trash, the discarded and unused parts would be taken to the trash heap outside the camp where it would be burned up. But outside, in that burning trash heap was something no one saw. It happened to be the most precious gift of all. It was discarded and thrown out like waste. And there's good reason why this sacrifice is being made exactly where it is, in that trash heap. Because the man offering this sacrifice lived his life among the discarded, among the disqualified, among the refuse and the refugees. It was there among them that he came to live and give his life. It was for them that he came to die in order that through his death, he might win for the world the greatest treasure the world has ever known. He has come to offer himself, his life, his presence to all, even the discarded and rejected. Out in the trash heap was a treasure. Verse 12 says: So also Jesus suffered and died outside the city gates to make his people holy by means of his own blood. He suffered and died out in the trash heap to make his people holy by means of his blood. So let us go out to him, outside the camp, there in the landfill, and bear the disgrace he bore. For this world is not our permanent home. We are looking forward to a home yet to come. Let's continue to offer him praise because he offered us broken ones the greatest treasure ever found. One man's trash is another man's treasure. So let's hold tightly to the treasure of him and experience the transformation that is available to all out there in the trash heap. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home. Heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

This MTM Minute is powered by Dinner with Darnyelle   The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.    "You cannot scale from shame, and you can't build while you're still blaming—your next level demands emotional spaciousness."– Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon In this week's full-length episode of the Move to Millions Podcast, Soul Leadership Series  Part 5: Forgive & Free Your Flow, Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon dives deep into forgiveness as a spiritual and strategic business growth tool. From confronting the hidden ways resentment slows your revenue to walking through soul detox practices that create space for overflow, this episode delivers the healing insight every entrepreneur needs. If your business is anchored in old pain, it cannot scale in peace—and this episode will help you dismantle the emotional blocks keeping you from your millions. Learn how to clear your energy, make room for abundance, and finally forgive what's been holding you back. Whether it's your team, your clients, your family—or yourself—this is your call to release and rise.   This episode will show you how unforgiveness may be blocking your abundance and delaying your destiny. It will guide you to release what no longer serves you, create emotional space, and finally walk in the peace and prosperity that's been waiting for you. If you're ready to build from grace, not guilt, this is your turning point. This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is I Forgive and Free my Flow. I expand my emotional capacity by releasing the residue of who I used to be. I no longer carry the weight of past disappointments, broken relationships, or outdated identities. I move forward with grace, because my next level requires room to receive. I understand that forgiveness isn't weakness—it's strategy. I create peace within so that prosperity can flow without resistance. Every release invites more revenue, more alignment, and more freedom into my business and life. Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Audit where unforgiveness is living in your business. Look at your offers, boundaries, team relationships, and money decisions—are they influenced by old pain or past disappointment? Write and release a forgiveness letter. Choose someone—maybe yourself—and write out what you're holding onto. Then burn it and bless it to symbolically clear that space. Speak a new story out loud. Declare, “I release myself from the punishment of my past. I forgive and I receive the abundance that is mine.” Let your voice break the cycle. Affirm with me: I Forgive and Free my Flow. I expand my emotional capacity by releasing the residue of who I used to be. I no longer carry the weight of past disappointments, broken relationships, or outdated identities. I move forward with grace, because my next level requires room to receive. I understand that forgiveness isn't weakness—it's strategy. I create peace within so that prosperity can flow without resistance. Every release invites more revenue, more alignment, and more freedom into my business and life. And this week's journal prompts are: I am still holding on to resentment about... If I gave myself full permission to forgive, I would feel... One version of myself I am ready to release is... And Your Prayer Of The Week: Heavenly Father, We come with open hearts, ready to release what we've been gripping so tightly. We ask for the courage to forgive ourselves and others, so we may walk in the fullness of our calling without shame, resentment, or delay. We thank You for the grace that meets us in the space between who we were and who we're becoming. Help us to remember that our next level doesn't require more hustle, it requires more healing. Let our businesses be built on peace, not pain—on purpose, not punishment. And may every act of forgiveness clear the path to overflow. In Your name, I pray. And So it Is. Amen.

This episode is powered by Dinner with Darnyelle “Forgiveness is not forgetting. It's deciding that your future matters more than your memory.” – Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon You can't scale with resentment in your body. You can't welcome overflow while holding onto old versions of yourself—or anyone else. In this powerful continuation of the Soul Leadership Series, Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon dismantles one of the most overlooked reasons businesses stall: unforgiveness. Whether it's a former client who ghosted you or abandoned their balance, a team member who disappointed you, or a version of yourself you keep punishing…if you're still carrying emotional residue, your business will carry it too. This isn't just personal development—it's business strategy. Because forgiveness is how you create the energetic and spiritual capacity for millions. You'll discover how emotional clutter becomes a cash flow block, how unresolved bitterness shows up in your boundaries, pricing, and leadership—and how to finally let go of what's been weighing your legacy down. This episode is sacred, strategic, and soul-activating. Because your next level won't come through your grind. It will come through your grace. You'll walk away with a a radical reframing of forgiveness as a leadership tool, a proven practice to clear emotional debt, and a permission slip to stop building your future from your past. You'll leave with the clarity, confidence, and courage to grow your business without the energetic drag of old pain. Here's the truth: You can't scale a business rooted in shame. Every unpaid invoice, disrespectful client, and missed opportunity you're still holding onto is robbing you of capacity. Forgiveness is not just spiritual—it's tactical. It's how you reclaim your power, your peace, and your profits..

It's a call to lay down the guilt, shame, and emotional clutter that's been silently sabotaging your momentum.

When someone we love chooses a prodigal path, how do we respond with hope and forgiveness—even when they aren’t sorry? In this powerful episode, we revisit the parable of the prodigal son with fresh eyes, focusing not on the wayward child, but on the patient heart of the father. Featuring the remarkable testimony of Rev. Anthony Thompson, who forgave his wife’s unrepentant killer, this episode invites us to trust God’s timing, lean on His strength, and pray with perseverance for the prodigal’s return.
