Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20This statement would have been shocking to Jesus' audience. At that time, the scribes and Pharisees were well-known for their meticulous observance of the Law of Moses, attending scrupulously to even the smallest details. They prided themselves on their strict adherence and often made their “righteousness” highly visible, earning them great respect among the people as models of holiness and fidelity to the covenant. However, their fidelity was often purely external, lacking the interior disposition of love and worship of God, which is the heart of the covenant. For this reason, Jesus spoke bluntly to the people, even in the presence of the scribes and Pharisees, declaring that their level of righteousness was insufficient to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.Imagine the humiliation felt by these religious leaders. Jesus' words would have stung deeply, confronting them with the inadequacy of their righteousness. Such a confrontation can lead to one of two responses: Either the sting of humiliation fosters the virtue of humility, repentance, and conversion, or it magnifies pride, leading to anger and rejection. While some of the scribes and Pharisees might have chosen the path of humility and repentance, the majority likely did not.Jesus followed up this statement with a teaching on anger and how it can move from an interior disposition to severe hatred. While that teaching is important, it is also useful to pause and place ourselves in the shoes of the scribes and Pharisees, pondering how we would have reacted if we were them. Many of them had spent their whole lives studying the Law, following it, and teaching others to do the same. When Jesus came along, He essentially told them that much of what they had been doing was worthless and fruitless because they were not following the will of God. Place yourself in their shoes.Consider your ability—or inability—to endure the humiliation that those religious leaders felt. Imagine that you had put great time and effort into cultivating a particular moral and spiritual attitude and approach to your faith, only for Jesus to reveal that you have not been listening to God at all, but have gone astray from His will. Hearing such a holy rebuke would be painful and humiliating, requiring profound humility to accept. Imagine further that you listened to all that Jesus said to you. You felt the sting of wounded pride and self-righteousness, but you humbled yourself, repented, and began to change. When that happens, external humiliation produces internal humility and bears an abundance of good fruit. When it doesn't happen, we reject the truth and become even more obstinate in our ways, allowing pride to harden our hearts further.In truth, none of us is righteous enough to attain the Kingdom of Heaven by our own efforts. We all fall short of fulfilling God's will and cooperating with His grace. The real question is not whether we need ongoing change, but whether we are willing to receive Jesus' loving rebuke and change our ways. Saint Faustina, in her Diary, stated, “O my Jesus, nothing is better for the soul than humiliations” (#593). Humiliations are a gift from God because they reveal our self-righteousness and pride, and invite us to rely more fully on His grace. The sting of having that pointed out is itself a humiliation, but that humiliation has the power to lead us to profound humility, repentance, and ultimately, holiness.Reflect today on the many humbling truths God desires to reveal to you. Each humiliation, though painful, is a step on the path to true righteousness and holiness, drawing us closer to the Beatific Vision in Heaven. Only in Heaven will we be fully purified of every sin. Until that day, we must embrace every humiliation God allows, recognizing these painful truths as gifts that correct us, purify us, and set us firmly on the path to true righteousness. Lord of all Truth, there are many truths I need to hear, even when they are difficult. Please humble me by speaking directly to my soul and revealing my sin. As You do, grant me the grace to listen with an open heart and respond generously to Your call. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Sermon on the Mount by Fra AngelicoSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Zum wiederholten Mal bringt Markus Köhler feinste Actionkost mit in den Podcast, diesmal vom anderen Ende der Welt. Denn im Lande Oz gibt es nicht nur Känguruhs, Fosters und jede Menge menschenleere Steppe, sondern auch eine unerschütterliche Liebe für brummende Motoren und beinharte Action im Kino. Aus der Blütezeit australischen B-Movies stammen auch die dystopischen Thriller Turkey Shoot (Insel der der Verdammten, 1982) und Dead-End Drive-In (Crabs – Die Zukunft sind wir, 1986), die in Sachen Gewaltdarstellung keine Gefangenen machen und auch politisch klare Kante zeigen. Danke, Brian Trenchard-Smith, King of Ozploitation!

The BONUS TRAX came in hot this week with an update from a shipping fiasco with Rhino Hi-Fi (tears may have been shed). What follows came an impromptu Beatles discussion that caught many off guard. Bong launches his patented verbal bows and arrows into the new Paul McCartney: Man on the Run documentary, which opens the floodgates to all kinds of feelings on the Liverpool Four. Following those spicy takes, the guys discuss the role social media plays in the artificial (or real) hype train(s) that have our wallets sometimes begging for mercy. It is deliberate? Calculated? Dumb luck? Or simply over saturation we create in our own feeds trying to chase down more elusive vinyl prizes? Only way to win is to play, right?

The Black newspaper The Skanner was founded more than 50 years ago by Bernie and Bobbie Foster. It became something of an institution and community organization for Black communities in Portland. The paper went entirely online in 2020 but continued to play a critical role in the lives of many Black Oregonians. Recently, the Fosters announced the paper had shut down as of Jan. 30. We sit down with former reporters for the paper, writers Donovan Scribes and Bruce Poinsette, along with Margaret Carter, the first Black woman elected to the Oregon Legislature in 1984. We hear about their personal connections to The Skanner and get more details about the paper’s importance to members of the community.

Dana Micucci redefines danger for the modern lightworker not as external threat, but as the peril of spiritual bypassing and succumbing to fear or lower collective consciousness. Unlike 20th-century internal work, the 21st-century task is active internal mastery to hold and anchor high-frequency light amidst global chaos and intense energy shifts. This internal mastery is crucial for external impact. The Lesson in Mastery: From Seeking to Embodying Truth The memoir, a sequel to Sojourns of the Soul, marks a pivotal shift: the 'lesson in mastery' is moving from seeking truth externally (via sacred travel) to embodying that truth internally. This profound shift is the foundation for applying spiritual wisdom to complex modern life, validating the current memoir as an essential guide for the lightworker journey. Ma'at: Ancient Egyptian Wisdom for the Digital Age Micucci shares the powerful ancient Egyptian principle of Ma'at (truth, balance, and cosmic order), encountered at the sacred temples of Egypt. This ancient wisdom is surprisingly practical for navigating modern issues like misinformation and polarizing technology. Ma'at serves as a vital spiritual compass for filtering digital input by aligning words, thoughts, and actions with truth and balance. Essential Spiritual Tool: Conscious Breathwork For newcomers beginning their spiritual path, the single most essential spiritual tool is conscious, focused breathwork. This simple technique instantly interrupts the fearful, egoic mind, anchors the individual in the present, and connects them to their innate power and grace. The breath is highlighted as the most accessible bridge between mind, body, and spirit. Planetary Transformation: The Challenge and The Opportunity The current period of intense planetary transformation presents two key facets from a lightworker's view: Greatest Challenge: The temptation to disconnect or fall into despair amidst global crises. Greatest Opportunity: The unprecedented acceleration of soul evolution. The current evolutionary waves force humanity to confront shadows, offering a unique chance to rapidly ascend into higher consciousness and co-create the New Earth. Trusting the Higher Guiding Force Micucci shares how a personal test or transformation—a period of loss and uncertainty—revealed that apparent "breakdown" was the higher guiding force clearing old foundations. By embracing deep surrender, she recognized the timely appearance of support as confirmation that this force was conspiring on her behalf. The Final Action Step: Radical Self-Compassion The final, practical action step Micucci hopes readers take after finishing The Years of Living Dangerously is to practice radical self-forgiveness and self-compassion. Choosing to unconditionally love the self and silence the internal critic is deemed the most profound way to 'open their hearts to the evolutionary waves of change' and become a clear channel for light.

This week, Lonnie Edge of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies joins the podcast to discuss North Korea's strategies for portraying itself as a legitimate government both inside and outside its borders. According to Edge, the Kim regime has become adept at changing its narrative or policies to address crises or changes in circumstances, such as building new apartments or bolstering rhetoric against the U.S. during economic downturns. The expert also discusses why progressive South Korean presidents typically reach out to North Korea first when attempting to build inter-Korean relations, explaining that taking this sort of diplomatic initiative without guarantees is rare and reflects how many Koreans view themselves as one people. Edge is an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Interpretation and Translation at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. He holds a Ph.D. in international relations and has been the managing editor of North Korean Review for over a decade. His work spans inter-Korean relations, contemporary Korea and identity politics.

Meet the Parents (2000) is one of the most iconic comedy films of the early 2000s, directed by Jay Roach (Austin Powers, Trumbo) and starring Ben Stiller (Zoolander, Tropic Thunder) as Greg Focker, a nervous male nurse who is about to propose to his girlfriend Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo – The West Wing, The Fosters). His plans, however, go hilariously awry when he must first win the approval of her intimidating father, Jack Byrnes, played by the legendary Robert De Niro (Goodfellas, Taxi Driver). The ensemble cast also features Blythe Danner (Meet the Fockers, Will & Grace) as Pam's kind-hearted mother Dina, and Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers, Loki) as Kevin, Pam's wealthy and charismatic ex-boyfriend. Packed with classic cringe-worthy comedy and unforgettable moments, Meet the Parents includes some of the most highly searched and referenced scenes in comedy history, such as Greg's disastrous attempts at impressing Jack, the infamous polygraph test sequence, the hilarious mishap with Jack's beloved cat Jinx, and the chaotic backyard volleyball game. The film's clever mix of slapstick, situational awkwardness, and sharp dialogue cemented its place as one of the best comedy movies of its era, spawning two sequels and a cultural legacy that still resonates today.

Welcome to Eclipse Season! This cosmic period is all about beginnings and endings happening simultaneously, and it can initiate a powerful six-month cycle of change. While the start of this season can feel drastic or dramatic, both on a global and personal level, being aware of these energetic shifts can help you take the edge off and embrace the process. This year, the energy is amplified by September being a "9" month in a "9" year. In numerology, the number 9 represents surrender, letting go, trusting, and acceptance, which perfectly mirrors the feeling of eclipse season. It’s a time to honor the sacredness of closure, even when it feels wobbly. Grief and grace can arrive hand in hand, and it's okay to let yourself feel all of the emotional waves that come with this powerful transition. The month is marked by several key astrological events: Saturn Retrograde in Pisces (Sept. 1st): Prompts you to revisit and finalize lessons from the past, dissolving old patterns and beliefs. Mercury in Virgo (Sept. 2nd): Encourages practical, precise communication and is a great time to organize your life and refine your routines. Uranus Retrograde in Gemini (Sept. 6th): Brings unexpected insights and "cosmic downloads" that can guide you toward freedom. Lunar Eclipse at 15 degrees of Pisces (Sept. 7th): Triggers a six-month cycle of closure and release, urging you to honor your emotions. Mercury in Libra (Sept. 18th): Fosters harmonious communication and creativity. Venus in Virgo (Sept. 19th): Focuses on practical love and relationships, a good time to refine your finances. Solar Eclipse in Virgo (Sept. 21st): A powerful time to set new intentions and take practical action. Mars in Scorpio & Fall Equinox (Sept. 22nd): Deepens your passion and creative drive while the equinox brings in a theme of balance and harmony.

Ephesians 5:22-33
Istrouma Baptist Church (ASC) Aug 24, 2025 ========== August 24 - Field Guide Welcome! We're glad you've joined us today for our Sunday morning worship service! For more information about Istrouma, go to istrouma.org or contact us at info@istrouma.org. We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo Guidlines for Corporate Worship 1 Timothy 2:1-15 1 Timothy 2:1-15 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control. 1. Corporate prayer Supplications - Praying for healing in broken families. Prayers - Adoring God's sovereignty in uncertain times. Intercession - Praying for unbelieving friends and families with childlike trust. Thanksgiving - Gratefully recounting God's provision or deliverance. First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions. 1 Tim. 1:1-2a 2. Godly conduct 3. Roles and responsibilities Takeaways for the modern church - Fosters unity and mission focus. - Promotes holiness in worship. - Upholds biblical order for flourishing. - Encourages humility and submission.

What does it really mean to be optimistic?In this Flow Space edition of The Big Silence, Karena Dawn sits down with Dr. Deepika Chopra, known as the “Optimism Doctor”, live from the Women's Health Summit in LA. Drawing from her background in psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience, Dr. Chopra debunks the myth that optimism is about “being positive.” Instead, she offers science-backed tools to build mental resilience, process worry, and shift your brain toward the future you want to create. From dancing first thing in the morning to scheduling daily “worry time,” this episode is packed with small, powerful rituals to help you feel more joy, no matter where your mind is now.Could resilience be the true foundation of optimism? Dr. Chopra shares why optimism isn't a constant state of happiness; it's a mindset that acknowledges life's challenges while staying open to growth, healing, and future possibility.(00:02:00) Reframing Optimism: It's Not About Being Positive All the TimeDr. Chopra defines real optimism as rooted in resiliency and curiosity, not blind positivity.Being an optimist means recognizing life's setbacks, but seeing them as temporary and surmountable.She shares that optimism is a learnable skill, not just a personality trait.The science shows optimists live longer, thrive more, and have deeper connections.(00:07:30) From Emo Journaling to Neuroscience: Her Unexpected Path to OptimismDeepika's childhood emotional diaries foreshadowed her fascination with human behavior.Learning that the brain thinks in the future tense.Helping people anticipate good things and how to train your brain to do it.Research shows only about 25% of optimism is genetic—the rest is learned.(00:09:40) Awe, Music, and Movement: Tools to Interrupt AnxietySpending just two hours a week in nature significantly lowers stress and improves clarity.She starts every morning with her “wake-up and dance” routine to set a positive tone.Feelings of awe: How art, nature, and nostalgia help reset the brain and reduce anxiety.Happiness hack: Holding onto a positive thought for at least 12 seconds helps the brain create more of them.(00:12:30) Feel It to Heal It: Why Optimism Starts With HonestyTrue optimism requires sitting with hard emotions, not bypassing them.Dr. Chopra explains the power of curiosity when you can't access joy.Being neutral or open, even when in pain, is still progress.Staying present and inquisitive with where you are in the moment(00:13:55) Schedule Your Worry: How Boundaries Can Free Your MindDr. Chopra shares her practice of “worry time”—a scheduled slot to process anxious thoughts.Throughout the day, she defers worries to that time, writing them down or mentally shelving them.Setting a clear boundary gives worries space without you being consumed by them.Surprisingly, the best solutions often arise when you're feeling joy or calm.(00:16:45) End Your Day With a To-DA! List (Not a To-Do List)Instead of an anxiety triggering nighttime to-do list, write down daily accomplishments.Even small wins count. Celebrating them boosts a sense of empowerment and self-worth.Gratitude can lose impact over time; the To-DA list keeps things specific and fresh.She emphasizes the power of feeling accomplished before bed.Thanks for the support from our partners, including: Guest ResourcesExplore her website

The leadership feedback session that will change everything isn't just a catchy phrase; it's exactly what happened when I facilitated a Live 360 with my executive team. This week on Reflect Forward, I'm sharing how this real-time, face-to-face feedback session unlocked deeper trust, stronger alignment, and powerful personal growth for every leader in the room. We used the “Stop, Start, Continue” format in a private dinner setting—no anonymous surveys, no hiding behind emails. Just honest, structured, and kind feedback delivered live. Yes, it was uncomfortable. And yes—it was transformational. Mic Drop Moment: “Want a badass team? Give each other real feedback. Out loud. In front of each other. It's uncomfortable, yes—but it builds trust, deepens connection, and makes everyone better.” What Is a Live 360 Feedback Session? A Live 360 is a structured, in-person feedback format where team members give each other direct, specific feedback in real time. It's honest, raw, and deeply connecting. We used “Stop, Start, Continue” so everyone knew how to prepare, and how to deliver feedback that was kind, actionable, and constructive. Each team member received feedback silently, then reflected at the end. The results? Aligned insights, deeper emotional intelligence, and stronger leadership across the board. Why You Should Try It • Builds psychological safety and trust • Fosters self-awareness and emotional intelligence • Strengthens team alignment and mutual respect • Creates a culture of direct, kind communication • Promotes collective ownership of growth How to Structure It • Choose a relaxed, private setting (dinner worked great for us) • Use “Stop, Start, Continue” for safe, structured feedback • Each person listens silently, then reflects • Prepare your team in advance because mindset matters • Set clear ground rules: be kind, be specific, no interruptions What Not to Do • Don't be vague or personal • Don't weaponize your tone • Don't bring up old grievances • Don't rush—or try to “fix” people • Don't skip setting expectations and emotional guardrails When done right, a Live 360 becomes more than a feedback session—it becomes a defining moment for your team. Key Takeaways from This Episode 1. Live 360s create real trust and real growth—fast. 2. Structure feedback with Stop, Start, Continue to make it actionable. 3. Coach the right mindset before the session begins. 4. Set ground rules for safety, clarity, and confidentiality. 5. Be specific, kind, and direct—and never skip the follow-up.

June is ushering in a powerful energetic portal, accelerating and magnifying time in ways that challenge our typical perception. This month invites you to go within and ask: "What is the energy teaching me right now?" With Saturn in Aries until the fall, we're in a crucial "dress rehearsal" for a new phase of personal identity, courage, sovereignty, self-expression, and our will to live. If you feel a spark but are unsure how to act, slow down. Stillness is where the answers lie. As the Summer Solstice approaches, harness the vibrant energy of the sun to cleanse, clear, and illuminate your inner world. Consider the liberating prayer: "God, relieve me of the bondage of self." This "bondage of self" is where fear and outdated patterns keep us small and limited. The 6 and 9 energy in June is potent, subtle, and can be manipulative if not approached consciously. It’s potent because it connects you to your deepest, soulful truth—the insights you share with no one else. This combination highlights themes of wisdom and service. Prioritize being of service to yourself so you can truly serve others. The 6 and 9 is an intuitive starting point for attuning to higher energetic frequencies, requiring deep listening and discernment through experience and awareness. Throughout June, pay close attention to your energetic frequency. Pay attention to how spaces and people impact your energy. Notice what weighs you down and actively detoxify it so you can live more freely, happily, and easily. Key Dates in June: June 6th: Venus Enters Taurus – Amplifies connection to the material world and sensual pleasures. A wonderful time to engage all your senses and embrace pleasurable experiences.

In a world where division and uncertainty are prevalent, the need for genuine connection has never been more critical. But how can we remain connected when opinions diverge and times are unpredictable? The answer lies in cultivating curiosity by “Living in the question,” according to TJ Woodward. TJ is a bestselling author, inspirational speaker, and revolutionary recovery expert who has helped countless people through his simple yet powerful teachings. He's a featured thought leader on WholeHearted.org along with Brené Brown, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Mark Lundholm, as well as a featured thought leader in the docuseries, “Addiction Revealed.” Ordained by Michael himself, TJ is also the founder of Agape Bay Area in Oakland, the first satellite community of The Agape International Spiritual Center. During Michael's and TJ's conversation, they cover: -TJ's childhood joy, then early trauma, followed by substance use, and his first steps toward sobriety and spiritual awakening -How recovery and New Thought teachings helped TJ shed false beliefs and return to his essence -What ‘Living in the Question' means, and how curiosity expands awareness while judgment restricts it -The importance of open-ended questions as tools for spiritual growth and social harmony -How over-identifying with diagnoses or labels reinforces dis-ease vs. focusing on what's working and feeling the energy shift -Creating space for healers to experience healing themselves, avoiding burnout, and the “fixer” mentality -Why true compassion emerges from insight, not from reactive behavior -How neuroplasticity and epigenetics confirm what mystics have always known: consciousness shifts physiology and thought patterns reshape the brain and gene expression, and more! Next, Michael leads a meditation with the intention of waking up to our Real nature.
