As this series draws to a close - and as the podcast quietly passes its 200th episode - I've found myself reflecting on silence.In this episode, I explore:The richness of silence as presence rather than absenceThe way how we journey and arrive can shape our capacity for stillnessWhat it means to land — in our bodies, our lives, and the earth itselfThe tenderness of being alone and being cared forThe healing spaciousness that silence offersRecorded from the warmth - and silence - of my kitchen, this conversation flows gently between reflections on retreat, stillness, and the quiet companionship of being with ourselves.If silence feels like something you're seeking - or perhaps avoiding - this may be a space to listen in and see what it reveals.With love.RESOURCESBOOK Silence: In the Age of Noise: Erling Kagge https://uk.bookshop.org/a/8926/9780241309889RECIPE TumTea: equal quantities of coriander and fennel seeds, steeped in hot water - drunk hot or at room temperatureINNER ADVENTURE Solo Retreat at Bach Brook Farm: https://www.hennyflynn.co.uk/Solo-Retreats ★ Support this podcast ★

Welcome to episode 32 of Offshoot. My guest today is Tony Yousif, Executive Managing Director of SVN, where he's built a nationwide advisory and brokerage platform helping banks, receivers, and institutional capital allocators of all varieties navigate their most complex real estate situations.Born to Iraqi immigrants who fled to America and lived on welfare and Section 8 housing in the city of Chicago, Tony found himself working at a convenience store and borrowing a third of his now-wife's accounting salary just to survive. For 2.5 years he pulled 100-hour weeks before making his first $25,000 commission check. That grit was the foundation for building one of the most trusted names in distressed real estate.But, the genius here isn't just the grind, it's the deep investment Tony has made to relationship-building. He doesn't see himself as a broker; rather the "conductor of the orchestra" sitting between the lenders and local market experts, helping move distressed deals along to their highest and best use. Since 2008, he's helped the likes of Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Colony Capital, and Oaktree navigate their troubled assets. Last year alone, his team valued over 1,500 properties and managed 92 different assets across the country.  The best part of this is that Tony hasn't asked for a piece of business in over 10 years and he's not likely someone you've heard a lot about. All of this comes from relationships.Tony's a farmer rather than a hunter in the world of real estate. While most brokers eat what they kill, moving from one deal to the next, Tony plants seeds, nurtures relationships, and harvests when the fruit is ripe. The proof of his success comes in the liberty he has to fire clients – walking away from $80,000 a month because one relationship wasn't mutually respectful. That takes serious cojones and is a luxury of only the successful.Listen into (and behind) what's said as we cover topics that include:How respect for his parents' vision and commitment served as a core motivationThe difference between being a relationship broker versus a transaction broker – and why one builds a business while the other may just pay billsWhy grading your clients and firing the toxic ones can free time for the relationships that matterThe wisdom in allocating time to create harmony across competing interestsThe benefits of striving to live as if you're about to dieThe Sabalers effect - how treating people right means they take you with them to their next employer and give you another clientThe art of saying no to opportunities and instead referring them to competitors without asking for a fee (and how that built his reputation)Why "a rolling loan takes no loss" and how banks' extending and pretending looked genius through the last crisisThe nightly practice with his kids that names three things they're each grateful forThe three circles of life (business, friends/family, self) and why deathbed advice about finding harmony, not balance, changed Tony's perspectiveTony's journey from welfare recipient to trusted advisor for institutions managing billions in distressed assets is a masterclass in patience, perseverance, and the compound value of genuine relationships. I hope you enjoy it.

In this heartfelt episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton explore the simple yet profound truth: you matter.Inspired by a late-night booking for a 15-minute consultation, Ash shares how one small moment can carry a deep reminder—every person is important, every story matters, and every struggle deserves to be met with compassion.Together, Ash and Dave reflect on:The danger of getting lost in metrics and forgetting the human behind the numberWhy even one person's journey is worth showing up forThe biblical “lost sheep” story and its modern-day meaningHow to hold space without gatekeeping wisdomThe importance of knowing your worth and honoring your own needsA gentle guided reminder that you are seen, valued, and lovedReflection prompts:When was the last time you felt truly seen and valued?Do you believe your needs are as important as others'?How can you remind yourself (and others) that they matter today?

You wake up with the best intentions.Today's the day. You're going to eat fully plant-based, limit animal products, skip the leather belt or bag, and speak your truth. But by dinner? Things may have unraveled. Again.If that sounds familiar, you're not broken. You're human.In this episode of Vedge Your Best, we explore the gap between good intentions and actual change—and why it's not about willpower, discipline, or moral failure. The old saying goes, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” and when it comes to going vegan or making any major life shift, that expression can hit home.What we cover in this episode:Why your intention isn't the same as a planThe difference between rules and strategiesWhy your brain defaults to old habits under pressureWhat to do when a friend offers you food you didn't plan forThe truth about people who “seem” to go vegan overnightHow vague commitments lead to shame, not successThis isn't just about food. This episode is for you if you're:Trying to eat more plantsDecluttering your homeSpending lessSetting boundariesOr starting any behavior change that mattersListener Takeaway: Intentions matter—but they're only the invitation. Without a plan, your good intentions might be setting you up for self-doubt and shame.

Most women believe that tracking macros is the golden ticket to fat loss and physique goals. But there's a reason you're logging your food, hitting your protein, and still not seeing the body you want in the mirror.In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to create visible body change, without chasing trends, relying on macro calculators, or living on protein and hope.Forget the “just be in a calorie deficit” advice.

Forthe last few days, I have been asking for prayers for some 600 pastors in eastIndia that we partner with to take the gospel to every creature. InJanuary of this year, I met with 400 of these pastors and promised them I wouldfind at least one person in America to pray for them. I promised them that Iwould connect them with a believer, who loves the Lord, who believes that thegospel is what changes and transforms lives, to pray for them. I've been askingyou to join me in our India pastor's prayer team and be a part of a great workthat God is doing. If the Lord is speaking to your heart right now, pleasesimply email right now at: pastormike@pmiministries.org Ilike what E.M. Bounds said. He said, "One cannot rightly call himself aChristian if he does not pray." Prayer and being a follower of JesusChrist go hand in hand. You cannot absolutely be the believer, and theChristian God wants you to be without prayer. It seems that many of our prayersare prayers that we just throw up thanking God for food, grandma, grandpa, momand dad and some of the people we work with. Then we pray desperately when weget in trouble or have a need. But the truth is Paul said, "Praywithout ceasing."  Now,Paul believed in prayer. Paul, as we pointed out yesterday, asked for prayersfor himself. He asked, "Please, please pray for me as I share the gospelthat I might be bold, that I might be courageous, that I might use the rightwords. That there will open doors and opportunities for me." These pastorsin India, are people like myself. I'm convinced, as a pastor, the only reasonI've made it is because people have prayed for me. My mother was a prayingwoman who prayed daily for me. I will never forget Henry Gold making thecommitment to pray for me as a pastor every day. From the day he was tragicallykilled in an accident, I felt like I lost one of my best friends, but I also losta prayer warrior who pleaded before the throne of God for us as we serve theLord in ministry.  Weneed your prayers. Pastors need your prayers. Everyone that the Holy Spirit ofGod puts in your heart and in your mind needs your prayers. Again I'm askingyou to take one of these pastors in your heart for prayer. I wanted to pointout a few more verses that the apostle Paul actually wrote in talking aboutpeople praying for him and the difference that it would make. And I would callthis devotion through your prayers and through the prayers of many.  Read2 Corinthians 1:8-11 again and notice how Paul faced death on several occasionsbut was delivered because, “You also joining in helping us through yourprayers so that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for thefavor bestowed on us through the prayers of many”. And Paul wrote inPhilippians 1:19, “For I know that this will turn out for my deliverancethrough your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,  again thanking people my deliverance throughyour prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.” InPhilemon 1:22, Paul wrote: “At the same time prepare for me lodging for Ihope that through your prayers I will be given to you through your prayers.” Yes,my friend through your prayers these pastors in India will be able to survivethe hardship that they face. It is beyond our imagination the persecution theydeal with every day and the difficult field they work in sharing the gospel. Theyhave very little support in taking care of feeding their family and helpingprovide food for the  flock that God'sgiven to them. They often have very little education and only by God's graceand God's wisdom are they able to preach a gospel message and teach the Bibleevery Sunday.  Theydesperately need your prayers. Would you join me? Write me an email at my emailaddress below and just say, "Pastor Mike, I'll be one of those that willpray with you for a pastor". Godbless!pastormike@pmiministries.org

Cleopatra was released in 1963 and has gone on to herald the end of the golden age of the historical epic in Hollywood. Known as one of the most expensive films to ever be made, its troubled production and the on screen connection between Taylor and Burton have both cemented its place in cinematic history.A Troubled ProductionWe have a look at some of the issues that led to production delays and there were a lot! From tricky weather conditions, Taylor's health troubles, to issues with the script, there wasn't an issue that this film didn't face in the journey to release. Dr Rad delves into the details of the factors that influenced the production including:the monetary problemsthe challenges into Twentieth Century Fox in this periodthe increasing pressure to write and shoot for Mankiewiczand Taylor's public aura in the early 1960sA Foray into Roman and Egyptian HistoryThe historical pedigree of Cleopatra is based on a few different sources including credit given to Plutarch, Appian, and Suetonius! The impetus for the film was also based on the book published in 1957, The Life and Times of Cleopatra by Carlo Maria Franzero. There's a depth of references throughout the film that have support in the ancient sources. Dr G considers:the representation of Ptolemy and his advisorsThe divided representation of Cleopatra as a savvy politician and a seductressThe burning of the library of AlexandriaThe history of where Alexander the Great's body ends up after deathThings to listen out forThe life and significance of CaesarionThe importance of Mankiewicz in bringing this project to lifeShifting to French hoursWhat's up with Mithridates?Caesar's winding journey through the MediterraneanOur historical sources for Cleopatra's lifeJulius Caesar in Egypt versus Cleopatra in RomeCleopatra's complex Mediterranean identityThe powerful representation of motherhoodElizabeth Taylor's requirements for this filmKeen to delve more into Cleopatra?

Forthe first three hours, Jesus hung on the cross, the people mocked Him, theymade fun of Him, they laughed at Him, and they yelled at Him. Thenat the sixth hour, which would have been noon, verse 44 says there was darknessover all the earth until the ninth hour. The three hours of darkness was amiracle. It was not an eclipse because that would have been impossible duringPassover because it was the season of a full moon. It was a God-sent darkness, recognizingand also amplifying the fact that the whole world was in darkness, in sin andshame, and men were loving that darkness. Even when Jesus began His ministry, Matthew4:16 tells us: “The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to themwhich sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up”. Andnow when this darkness takes place, remember it is the time of the feast of thePassover. This reminds us of Exodus 10:21-22 which tells us of the last plague whichwas a darkness that was sent over all the land of Egypt for three days. Thiswas just before the Passover lamb was slain and the blood was applied to thedoorpost in Exodus 12. When Jesus was on the cross, three hours of darknesspreceded the death of God's Passover Lamb for the sins of the world (John1:29).  Nowfor three hours, the earth is shrouded in darkness as God made His Son tobecome sin for us who knew no sin, as stated in 2 Corinthians 5:21. It was asthough all nature was sympathizing with the Creator as He suffered and died.  And so we see that Jesus was on the cross,dying on the cross as the Lamb of God in these three hours of darkness. Nowalso we believe that on the cross, Jesus, at this time, somewhere during thesethree hours of darkness, according to Matthew 27:45-46 and Mark 15:33-34, criedout, quoting from Psalm 22:1, "My God, My God, why have You forsakenMe?"  Tomorrow,I'm going to take more time to talk about how many times Jesus called HisFather. In fact, this last three hours on the cross ended when Jesus' lastprayer on the cross was, "Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit."But during these three hours of darkness, I can't explain it totally. I cannever understand it completely, but as far as I'm concerned, as I've looked atand studied it over the years, it was during these the three hours of darkness thatJesus suffered an eternity of outer darkness, an eternity of hell.  TheBible says that hell is a place of outer darkness. Jesus went into outerdarkness. There in these three hours, the wrath of God was poured out on Him.He was bruised by God (Isaiah 53), as we talked about yesterday, for our sins.He suffered. He was separated from His Father. His favorite reference, the mostused word in the Gospel of John, is the word Father. Jesus loved His Father.His Father loved Him. But now His Father turned His back on His Son and pouredout His wrath upon Him to be crucified, to die, to shed His blood for my sinsand your sins.  Myfriend, what great love that God had. And that's why Jesus cried out, "MyGod, My God," somehow God turned His back on His Son. Again, I don'tunderstand it, but He did according to the Scripture. And then it says in verse45 that “the veil of the temple was torn in two”. The Gospel accounts ofMark and Matthew add, “from top to bottom”. My friend, this is becauseGod from heaven miraculously tore that veil that separated “The Most Holy Place”from everyone except the High Priest once a year.  Thismiracle announced to the priests and people that the way into God's presencewas open for all who would come to Him by faith through Jesus Christ (Hebrews9:1-10:25). No more do sinners need earthly temples, altars, sacrifices, orpriests, for all had now been fulfilled in the finished work of the Son of God. Areyou experiencing and enjoying this open access to our Father in heaven today? Godbless!

Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today, we're continuing in Luke chapter 22, looking at verses35 through 38. Jesus is with the disciples in the upper room, or in the processof leaving for the Garden of Gethsemane. Judas has already gone to gather Romansoldiers to arrest Jesus and take Him to trial. It's Thursday evening, but inthe Jewish calendar, it's Friday, and Jesus knows He will be crucified. He ispreparing His disciples for this time, having already warned them ofpersecution and tribulation in John chapter 16, saying, “Don't let your heartbe troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me. I'm going away, but I'llcome again, and I'm sending the Holy Spirit.” These things were said in theupper room, as recorded in John's Gospel. Now,Jesus is preparing His disciples for spiritual warfare in a new dispensation.After telling Peter in verses 31-34, “…Satan has asked for you, that he maysift you as wheat…. And before the rooster crows you  will deny three times that you know Me”, Jesusnow says in verse 35, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, andsandals, did you lack anything?” They replied, “Nothing.” He's referring towhen He sent the twelve to preach the gospel of the kingdom to the lost sheepof Israel, proclaiming, “The King is here; Jesus the Messiah is here—receiveHim, trust Him, believe Him.” They lacked nothing because God miraculouslyprovided as they preached throughout Israel. ThenHe says, “But now,” signaling a shift to a new time. He's going away, andthey'll be left to take the gospel of grace to the world, not just to Israelbut to the Gentiles. “He who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise aknapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. For Isay to you that this which is written must be accomplished in Me: ‘And He wasnumbered with the transgressors.' For the things concerning Me have an end.”  Jesusis quoting Isaiah 53:12, saying, “I'm numbered with the transgressors. I'mgoing to the cross to pay the price for the sins of the world. Somethingdifferent is coming—I'll be resurrected and leave, but you'll take this gospelto the world.” All things concerning Him will be accomplished; on the cross,His final words, “It is finished,” marked the completion of Hissubstitutionary, atoning work. Jesus is signaling the end of the dispensation ofOld Covenant as He fulfill all the prophesies and the demands of the Law bybecoming the final sacrifice for the sins of the world. He is about to finishthe Old and bring in the New! The disciples, still not grasping His meaning,say, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” Jesus responds, “It is enough,” notmeaning that two swords are sufficient to fight the Roman soldiers inGethsemane, but rather, He was saying, “We're done talking—you'll understandlater.” It was only, after 40 days of studying the Word, and spending time withthe Lord between the resurrection and His Ascension, and 10 more days in  prayers in the Upper Room, and after the HolySpirit came upon them on Pentecost, did they begin to comprehend what Jesus wastalking about.  What Jesus is basically saying to them was,“Set aside the message of the gospel of the kingdom for another time. Now youwill go forth with the sword of the Spirit. You cannot fight this battle in theflesh—it must be through the power of prayer and the Word of God, with the HolySpirit working in and through you.” Whata powerful passage. Remember how Paul said it in 2 Corinthians 10:4, “Forthe weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling downstrongholds.”  And in Philippians3:1-11, Paul proclaimed that he had no confidence in the flesh but in the resurrectionpower of Jesus Christ! Today,let's make sure that we are serving Jesus in the Spirit, not in the flesh. Godbless!

Todaywe will be looking at a new chapter, Luke chapter 18. Over 50 years ago when I was in BibleCollege in Lynchburg, I went to Winchester, Virginia, to be a part of startinga new church, Shenandoah Valley Baptist Church. Right after I graduated in1975, I became the senior pastor of the church. Shortly after that, I met adear friend who greatly influenced our lives and greatly encouraged andassisted us in my early days of ministry. His name was Dave Sisler. Wewere very sorry and sad to hear that Dave went to be with the Lord earlier thisweek. He was someone who invested in us in many different ways. One of the wayshe tried to help us, I'll never forget, was taking me and my brother-in-law,Ronnie Riggins, to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, because we were getting ready toplant a new church up there. Ronnie was going to go up there and meet somepeople and start a church, and we were excited about that. So Dave took us upto Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and he introduced us to a man that he knew by thename of Charlie “Tremendous” Jones. Dave was involved in Amway in a really bigway, and Charlie Tremendous Jones was one of the top motivational speakers inthe world at that time and spoke at the Amway conventions. So Dave personallyknew him. I'llnever forget our first meeting with Charlie Tremendous Jones there inHarrisburg, Pennsylvania, in his bookstore with Ronnie Riggins and Dave. That'sa longer story, but Charlie Tremendous Jones, over the years, also became apart of the church that was started there with Ronnie, and became a friend ofours too. One of the things that Charlie was famous for saying is, “Two thingswill change your life more than anything else in the next five years are thepeople you meet and the books you read.” Isaid all that to first give honor to my friend Dave Sisler. He's going to begreatly missed by many people, especially his family, but also to make a point.The Bible is a book of people. If you want to learn the Bible, learn the peopleof the Bible. God introduces us to people in the Bible, and through thesepeople, the main person we meet is God Himself. When you meet people, you meetthem in their books, you meet them in their lives, you meet them in theirstories, and your life can be forever changed because. And especially throughthe people of the Bible, you meet God. Now,in this story in front of us today in Luke chapter 18, Jesus is teaching alesson about prayer, that men ought always to pray, not to faint, not to giveup hope. This parable is teaching us that either we're going to be praying, orwe're going to be fainting, quitting, throwing up our hands, throwing in thetowel, and walking away from our Christianity. The importance and the power andplace of prayer that Jesus speaks about here is wonderful. SoJesus told this parable, saying, “There was in a certain city a judge whodid not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city, and shecame to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.' And he would notfor a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear Godnor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest byher continual coming she weary me.'” Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjustjudge said. And shall not God avenge His own elect who cry out day and night toHim, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge themspeedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on theearth?” Forthe next few days, we'll be talking about this parable and the three people inthis story that we're going to meet: the widow lady, the unjust judge, and thewidow's adversary. Through them, we're going to hear and learn about how greatour God is to take care of us when we cry out to Him day and night. Todayyou might think about who you're going to meet and how you can influence theirlives or maybe how they might influence your life.

After Jesus gave His lessons on prayer (vv. 1-13), He casta demon out of a mute man, and even though the “multitudes marveled” (v.14), the religious leaders accused Him of doing it “by Beelzebub” (v. 15),another way of saying, “by Satan”. They also “tested Him” and ask for a “signfrom heaven (v. 16). Instead of giving them a sign, Jesus gave them a sermon. Jesushad been giving them “miracles” or “signs” over the past three years, and theystill rejected Him. Signs are soon forgotten and only bred a craving for more! Basically, Jesus said we don't need a sign, we have theBook, and He gave them the stories of Jonah and Solomon. Jesus follows up with this proclamation with anillustration of the light of a candle on a lampstand that gives light toeveryone who come into the room (vv. 33-36). You might remember that in thefirst recorded message that we have of Jesus in Matthew 5-7, He gave this sameillustration. "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eyeis good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, yourwhole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you isdarkness, how great is that darkness!” (Matthew 6:22-23). When light comes into a room the darkness immediately isgone. Darkness never conquers the light. By its very nature, light “overcomesthe darkness”. John 1:1-5 teaches us that God, the Word, and Jesus are indeedthe Light of the world: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word waswith God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All thingswere made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Himwas life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in thedarkness, and the darkness did not comprehend (overcome) it.” In John 6:5, Jesus declared, “I Am the Light of the world”.God is declared to be Light in 1 John 1:5-7: “This is the message which wehave heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is nodarkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk indarkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light asHe is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of JesusChrist His Son cleanses us from all sin.” Light and darkness cannot co-exist! You either have one orthe other. Jesus the Living Word is the Light on the Lampstand. He is the Lightthat gives us light and life! God has given us the Commandments and the Lawlike a switch to expose the darkness of our sin and souls. Proverbs 6:23 says; “Forthe commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are theway of life”. Psalm 119:130 tells us: “The entrance of Your words giveslight; It gives understanding to the simple.” Religion without a relationship with Christ Jesus is afalse light that only allows more darkness! The religious leaders refused tocome to the Light of Christ because of their evil, deceitful hearts. Jesus saidit this way in John 3:19-21, “And this is the condemnation, that the lighthas come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, becausetheir deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and doesnot come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does thetruth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they havebeen done in God." The psalmist reminds us in Psalm 11:105: “Your word is alamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Today we have a choice, we caneither walk in the Light or we can stumble around in the darkness! Proverbs4:18-19: “But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines everbrighter unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is like darkness; They donot know what makes them stumble.” May the Lord help us today to “walk in the Light”though His Word. God bless!

Think of a space you feel completely comfortable in that's not your own home.For me, it's my grandparents' house. I can easily picture their front porch, where my grandmother waited for us; the table we played cards at; and the garden, where I spent hours talking to them while picking green beans.We've been trained by the internet to believe superficial details – like a perfectly styled coffee table or matching throw pillows – are what people remember about our homes. Consequently, many have anxiety hosting because their homes don't look Instagram-readyBut the houses we see online are designed to be in magazines. They're not real. Most people's homes are messy and imperfect, which in a way makes them friendlier places to be. It's not the aesthetic that makes them comfortable; it's the memories made there with people. So consider this your permission to host imperfectly, and to focus not curating space, but instead, on being present and holding space.In this episode you'll hear about:The bizarre age we live in, where we are inundated with perfect images of home from the internet, which is skewing our perception of what guests are looking forThe comfort of imperfection – sometimes it's nice to know it's not just  you whose living room is cluttered or whose freezer contains mangoes instead of ice!Rewiring our brains to focus on holding space vs. curating space (and why sometimes holding space is actually harder)What people are actually craving in a gathering: real connection, and to feel safe, comfortable, seen, and lovedResources & LinksListen to Episode 6 about hosting and see some of my other free resources.
