Jesus Set Us FreeIsaiah 61:1-3 “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”While searching for verses on joy, I came across Isaiah 61:3. However, upon reading it, I could tell it was missing context. When I started with verse 1, I knew we all needed to hear all three of these verses. Let's start at the beginning. The prophet Isaiah is prophetically speaking for the Messiah, and the Messiah is letting the people know that he is blessed and empowered by the Spirit of the Lord God. I looked up these verses on enduringword.com's commentary page. I am so glad I did because it gives such a deeper understanding of this verse. I didn't know this was talking about Jesus.Reading this verse on its own, I did not remember that this was the verse Jesus read in Luke 4. In Luke 4:16-22, Jesus spoke in the synagogue of Nazareth, His hometown. He opened up the scroll to Isaiah 61 – perhaps an assigned reading, perhaps chosen by Him – and read from the beginning of the chapter through the first line of verse 2. When He sat down, He simply said Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing. Jesus is the person described in Isaiah 61:1-3, and He is the one the Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon.The commentary goes on to say that “as Christians under the New Covenant, we also have an anointing: But you have an anointing from the Holy One (1 John 2:20). In the New Testament sense, anointing has the idea of being filled with, and blessed by, the Holy Spirit. This is something that is the common property of all Christians, but something we can and should become more submitted and responsive to.” This is reminding us that we all have the Holy Spirit living inside of us. This means we are all anointed and we have an anointing on our lives. How many of us know this? How many of us are attentive to the Holy Spirit living inside of us? Are you listening to it? Are we responding to it? Are we letting it lead us in our everyday lives?We do not all have the same anointing on our lives. We are all called to do different things. We are all blessed with different talents and different personalities, and God uses us accordingly. However, He sometimes also uses us for things that don't align with our talents or personalities. Like when He asked Moses to lead his people out of Egypt, even though Moses wasn't good at public speaking. If God is calling you to do something, he will equip you with all you need to do it.The next part of these verse is showing us the ministry or mission of the Messiah. Jesus came to:To preach good tidings to the poor. Jesus came to announce that he is hear to heal the damage that sin brings. Sin has done a lot of damage over the many years since Adam and Eve, and so there needs to be a great work of redemption.He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted because sin breaks hearts, when he redeems us he will heal the brokenhearted.To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound. Jesus sets us free from the captivity that we find ourselves in when we sin. Jesus takes that sin to the cross with Him. Freeing us from the chains of the evil one. I had at first written forever freeing us, but then I thought about it. Jesus definitely defeated evil once and for all; however, it may still be a daily battle for us. We still need to choose to live in that freedom. The devil is really good at convincing us not to live in that freedom. He convinces us that we don't deserve that freedom, and when we let the enemy convince us that we don't deserve this freedom, then we live in captivity. We live in the prison that Jesus died on the cross to save us from.To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God. This part I will read right from the commentary as I am learning right along side you. It says, “Significantly, Jesus stopped reading before this sentence. He stopped in the middle of the prophecy, because to proclaim…the day of vengeance of our God is relevant to His Second Coming, not to His first coming. The comma in year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance has stood for almost 2,000 years. This shows us something of the nature of Biblical prophecy: it may “shift gears” and time frames quickly and without warning.ii. We can compare a whole year of grace to a single day of vengeance.”One thing I do want to point out is that this is a Jubilee Year. It talks about how Jesus came to proclaim it an acceptable year to the Lord, or a year of the Lord's favor. Well, the year I am writing this episode has also been declared a Jubilee year. A Jubilee year is a holy year of the forgiveness of sin, conversion, and joyful celebration. Jubilee years typically come around every 25 or 50 years. This is a special year and we are called to participate in it.Here is what the commentary says about this last part. “The extent of the comfort and restoration is beautifully described. Instead of the ashes of mourning, He gives His people beauty. Instead of the mourning itself, He gives His people the oil of joy. Instead of the spirit of heaviness, He gives His people the garment of praise. Why do we sit in the ashes? Why do we mourn? Why do we indulge the spirit of heaviness when Jesus gave us something so much better?The word "beauty" evokes a beautiful crown or head ornament. It is translated exquisite hats in Exodus 39:28 and headdresses in Isaiah 3:20. In mourning, ashes would be cast upon the head (2 Samuel 13:19). Here, the ashes are replaced with a beautiful crown.That they may be called trees of righteousness: The restored place of God's people is glorious. They are as strong, beautiful, and useful as trees – and trees of righteousness at that. Most wonderfully, when people look at the trees, they see they are the planting of the LORD.Well, that certainly wasn't what I thought I would be talking about today. However, I think we all needed this reminder as to why Jesus came to us. It is good to be reminded of what His mission was because we are all tasked with that same mission. What can we do to help carry out His mission? Is there a way we can set someone free today? Is there some way we can remind them that Jesus has already set them free and all they need to do is accept his gift? Can we remind people they are loved and they have already been set free from their sin? They no longer have to be held captive by what they did or didn't do. All they need to do is remind themselves that Jesus's sacrifice was enough to cover all they have done.I love when the commentary asks, “Why do we sit in ashes? Why do we mourn? Why do we sit in the spirit of heaviness when Jesus gave us so much more? I will leave you with these questions to reflect on and pray about today.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode. Lord, we love you and we ask that you bless us and remind us that you have already saved us. Lord, help us to understand that this is a jubilee year and that we can make the most of it. Lord, help us to accept your forgiveness and to live in the freedom that you won for us. We love you Lord and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

In 2024, Columbia University became the center of a U.S. pro-Palestinian protest movement that swept across college campuses and led to more than 2,000 arrests. The legal battles surrounding student protests, particularly the case of Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil, have been making headlines. Ramzi Kassem is a professor at CUNY School of Law, the co-director of the CLEAR clinic and one of Khalil's lawyers. Kassem joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss Khalil's legal standing, the broader implications for civil liberties and the role of the CLEAR clinic in defending protest rights against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and post-9/11 policies. He also touched on New York Rep. Elise Stefanik calling on the chancellor of CUNY to resign for “failing Jewish students” and her referencing his position as part of Khalil's legal defense.

Anyone else noticing an uptick in their own sense of rage? No, just me?

Tune in for important reminders about anger, ideas for safe and healthy ways to alchemize it, and the permission you've been waiting for to just let yourself be undone.My rage playlist
Send us a textYour toxic relationships, stubborn cravings, and intrusive thoughts might not even be your own. This is a unique podcast episode because it's an excerpt from a podcast where I was the one being interviewed (by fellow intuitive / healer Manouk Vink). I share my journey into the world of intuitive healing – a path that began when my young daughter started seeing "shadow people" in her bedroom. I also talk about my childhood encounters with dark energies, from being physically pulled from my bed by unseen forces to witnessing Ouija boards moving independently. These experiences ultimately led her to develop powerful modalities for helping others disconnect from energetic attachments that keep them stuck in cycles of pain and limitation.The conversation demystifies how energetic cords and hooks work in our relationships, explaining how we unconsciously exchange emotions, thoughts, and even soul pieces with others. I also reveal that even seemingly innocent actions like complaining about an ex on social media create energetic rituals with real consequences. When we remain connected to past relationships, we're literally carrying fragments of other people within our energy fields – making it impossible to fully heal and move forward.I also share my perspective on difficult relationships as soul contracts. I explain that those who hurt us most in this lifetime may have been souls who deeply loved us in past lives, volunteering to play challenging roles that catalyze our growth. This reframing transforms our understanding of pain and trauma, revealing the perfect design behind our most difficult experiences.For mothers especially, I offer game-changing wisdom on prioritizing self-care without guilt. My "37 minutes" technique for giving undivided attention while maintaining strong personal boundaries demonstrates how self-prioritization ultimately creates happier, healthier families.This conversation isn't just theoretical – it's filled with practical techniques for distinguishing between your thoughts and external influences, cutting energetic cords, and reclaiming your authentic power. If you've ever felt inexplicably drawn to unhealthy relationships or situations, this episode illuminates the invisible forces that might be at play and offers a pathway to true energetic sovereignty.To start on your own path, make sure to grab a 1:1 here.Support the showJoin Unveiled - The Membership here.

What if happiness wasn't something you had to chase — but something already available, no matter what's going on around you? Emotional well-being doesn't have to rise and fall with your circumstances. It's about building a steady relationship with your inner world, so you're not constantly thrown off course. This isn't about pretending things are fine. It's about seeing that peace doesn't come from fixing the outside, but from changing how you relate to it. When you stop handing your happiness over to everything out there, you get to show up with more clarity, ease and presence. Real freedom isn't about controlling life — it's about meeting it as it is.

This week on CounterSpin: Media are focused on public protests in LA but seem less interested in what's making people angry. That's in part about the federal government's stated bid to capture and eject anyone who they determine “opposes U.S. foreign policy.” Protesters and witnesses and journalists in LA aren't being shot at and thrown around and sent to the hospital because they disagree with U.S. policy, we're told, but because they're interfering with the federal agents carrying out that policy. See how that works? If you don't, and it worries you, you're far from alone. We hear from Chip Gibbons, policy director at Defending Rights and Dissent, about the critical case of Columbia University student activist Mahmoud Khalil, held without warrant in a detention facility in Louisiana since March, for voicing support for Palestinian lives. There's an important legal development, but just like with ICE sweeps around the country, how meaningfully Khalil's case ultimately translates will have to do with us. If the goal were to “get rid of” unhoused people, the answer would be to house them. It's cheaper than jailing people for being homeless, so if it's those “taxpayer dollars” you care about, this would be plan A. Why isn't it? We hear from Farrah Hassen, policy analyst, writer and adjunct professor in the Department of Political Science at Cal Poly Pomona.

How are recent DESI experimental results challenging the traditional view of dark energy as a fixed cosmological constant? Are foundational assumptions in Einstein's general relativity limiting progress in theoretical physics? And how do tensions in cosmological measurements, like the Hubble constant discrepancy, reflect deeper issues in physics? In this episode, we'll explore these fundamental questions with none other than Eric Weinstein! Eric is one of the most revered thinkers of our generation. Though not an academic physicist, he proposed a unified theory of physics in 2013, which is supposed to have the potential to explain phenomena that string theory cannot. In a lecture held live at UCSD in April 2025 at the prestigious Astrophysics and Cosmology Seminar, Eric presented an update to his groundbreaking theory. Today, we'll discuss his fascinating theory, the future of physics and academia, and much more. Eric is an investor, financial executive, and host of The Portal. He and his brother, Bret Weinstein, coined the term Intellectual Dark Web to refer to an informal group of pundits. Eric is a vocal critic of modern academic hierarchies and advocates for advances in scientific theory over an emphasis on experimental results. He proposed a new unified theory of physics in 2013 and has been an active member of the physics community since then. — Please join my mailing list here

It feels like nothing is changing… but it is.There's a moment on the journey of growth that can feel downright cruel.You're showing up. You're doing the work. You're staying present, using the tools, praying through the pain…And still, nothing seems to be changing.Not fast enough. Not visibly enough.And that old voice whispers, Why bother?If that's where you are right now, I recorded this week's episode just for you.✨ It's not that you're doing it wrong.It's that you're in the middle — the sacred, quiet stretch where the muscle of change is forming before it's visible.In today's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I talk about what it means to live in that middle space — the part where you're sometimes still falling into old patterns, but you're also starting to notice them and choose differently.I'll share a story from one of my coaching clients — a woman who, in the face of emotional shutdown and discouragement, kept showing up for herself and her relationship. She didn't get it “right” the first time. Or the second. But she kept coming back. And her courage was building something far more powerful than perfection.This episode is your reminder that:Falling into the hole doesn't mean you're failingYou can regulate, recover, and re-enter with loveAnd your heart is already protected by a God who is holding you as you growSo if you're weary from doing the work and wondering if it's making a difference — please don't miss this one.CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Clare Morell of the Ethics and Public Policy Center The Tech Exit The post Freeing Kids from Smartphones – Clare Morell, 6/9/25 (1602) first appeared on Issues, Etc..
I stumbled across this clip from my conversation with Peter Crone and was struck by how clearly it captures something I now see in almost every client I work with. Peter explains how many of the beliefs driving our behaviour were formed in childhood — and how those unconscious stories keep us stuck in cycles of fear, overthinking, and self-doubt. This isn't about fixing yourself — it's about seeing through the mental patterns that feel true but aren't. That's the heart of the coaching work I now do: helping people drop the noise, reconnect with their inner wisdom and and move forward with more flow and ease. If that sounds like something you'd like to explore, I offer 1:1 coaching — to book a free consultation here: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chat And my free online course on moving from burnout to flow is here: https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-mini-course My other links: Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/book YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundie Website: simonmundie.com Substack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Time always seems in short supply with way more to do than time to do it. in the middle of the busyness, what is God doing? How can we keep Him first in the middle of the rat race. That our topic today! Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!” **(23:00 – 0:00)* * PART 1 Run With Horses is on the radio! If you are enjoying Run With Horses, would you let someone know? Contact the radio station or leave a review on your favorite app. We want to hear from you! ### 1. Stewardship of our Time: “Redeeming the Time” Passage: Ephesians 5:15–17 (NKJV) “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Principle: Every minute is a gift. We must “buy back” each hour from distractions by aligning our schedules with God's priorities—especially the Great Commission. ### 2. Wisdom in Planning: “The Plans of the Diligent” Passage: Proverbs 21:5 (NKJV) “The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, to poverty.” Principle: Thoughtful, prayerful planning prevents wasted time and creates margin for gospel opportunities (e.g., inviting neighbors, mentoring new believers). ### 3. Counting Our Days: “Teach Us to Number Our Days” Passage: Psalm 90:12 (NKJV) “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Principle: An eternal-perspective reminder that life is brief. When we internalize our limited hours, we'll prioritize what lasts—making disciples. ### 4. Purposeful Living: “Doing All to the Glory of God” Passage: 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NKJV) “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Principle: Every task—work, rest, family time, evangelism—should be offered as worship. That reshapes even “routine” minutes into Kingdom service. ### 5. Prioritizing Prayer & Communion: “Jesus Prayed Early” Passage: Mark 1:35 (NKJV) “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” Principle: Jesus structured His day around communion with the Father—our ultimate source of wisdom for time management and disciple-making. ### 6. Eternal Urgency: “For What Is Your Life?” Passage: James 4:14 (NKJV) “Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” Principle: The fleetingness of life compels urgent obedience to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20). ### 7. Single-Mindfulness: “Deny Yourself” Passage: Luke 9:23–24 (NKJV) “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.” Principle: Self-discipline in scheduling (saying “no” to lesser things) frees us to “lose” our lives in service—especially in making disciples. ### 8. Balance Work & Rest: “Six Days You Shall Labor…” Passage: Exodus 20:8–10,12 (NKJV) “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy…6 for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth…12 ‘Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long…'” Principle: Biblical sabbath—and honoring family—establish healthy rhythms that prevent burnout and protect time for disciple-care. ###9. Investing in Others: “Do Not Steal” (as Stealing Time) Passage: Ephesians 4:28 (NKJV) “Let him who stole steal no longer… but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.” Principle: Our work (and your time!) isn't just for self—but for generosity. Freeing up “spare” hours to invest in new believers. ### 10. The Great Commission as First Priority Passage: Matthew 28:19–20 (NKJV) “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always…” Principle: Every time-management decision must be filtered through: “Will this help me obey Jesus's command to make disciples?” **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2** ### Part 2: Practical Advice for Using Time to Be and Make Disciples ### 1. Begin with a Paradigm Shift: Time is Kingdom Currency • Time is not just something we “spend”; it's something we invest. Just like money, time can be stewarded for temporary or eternal purposes. • Regularly ask: “Is this activity helping me know Jesus more deeply or helping someone else follow Him better?” “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time…” (Ephesians 5:15–16) ### 2. Build Life Around Jesus's Priorities, Not Just Adding Him In • Many busy Christians are trying to fit Jesus into their schedule instead of building their schedule around Him. • Suggest starting with these 3 buckets and planning around them: • Time with God (Being a disciple) – prayer, Scripture, Sabbath, silence. • Time with others (Making disciples) – intentional meals, mentoring, small groups. • Time on mission (Living sent) – workplace witness, neighborhood engagement, volunteering. ### 3. Combine Your Calling With Your Calendar Help them redeem ordinary rhythms by integrating disciple-making into: • Meals – “Who can you eat with this week that needs encouragement or the gospel?” • Commutes – Use it for prayer, audio Bibles, check-in calls with mentees. • Family time – Lead short devotionals, model hospitality, include kids in ministry moments. • Work breaks – Strategic encouragement or follow-up with someone God's placed nearby. “Disciple-making doesn't always need new time blocks—it often needs intentionality in existing ones.” ### 4. Create a Disciple-Making Weekly Rhythm Encourage a simple rhythm: • Daily: Time with God, open eyes to opportunities. • Weekly: 1 relational touchpoint (e.g., coffee, call, prayer walk). • Monthly: One deeper investment (e.g., mentoring conversation, service together). • Quarterly: Retreat or reevaluation—Am I growing? Is anyone growing because of me? ### 5. Say No to Say Yes Help them see that every “yes” is a “no” to something else. • Challenge: “What are you doing that someone else could do, so you can do what only you can do?” • Sometimes the most spiritual thing they can do is decline a good thing for the sake of the best thing (Luke 10:41–42 – “Martha, Martha…”). ### 6. Use Tools with Intentionality • Calendar: Block time for people, not just tasks. • Alarms/reminders: Prompt prayer, Scripture, check-ins. • Apps: Bible apps, group chats for discipleship groups, accountability tools. • Notebooks or journals: Record prayers, disciple progress, insights from Scripture. ### 7. Don't Go Alone—Form a Band of Disciple-Makers • Encourage small discipleship bands of 2–4 people with shared goals and check-ins. • Ask: “Who's helping you follow Jesus better? Who are you helping?” • This builds encouragement, accountability, and shared momentum. ### 8. Encouragement: Grace Over Guilt, Progress Over Perfection • Remind them that they are not earning God's favor by being busy for Him. • Jesus is not measuring productivity; He's forming people. • Celebrate small, faithful steps. Even 5 minutes of prayer for someone is eternally significant. • God multiplies what we surrender, even if it's small (loaves and fish principle). “You may feel behind, but Jesus is not. He's patient, and He delights in every act of love in His name.” ### Challenge • “Imagine if every one of us made just one disciple this year.” • write one name they'll pray for or pursue this month. • You don't need more time—you need more focus and faith. **(5:00 – 1:00)** Doctrine Today Jesus and His Present Ministry The Holy Spirit's Role in Disciple Making. Dispensational Baptist view of the End Times Understanding Theology is Important The Gospel and Ongoing Disciple Making Church Role in Discerning God's Will Barriers to Disciple Making Spiritual Warfare Jesus – Incarnation God's Sovereignty Sin and the Call to Make Disciples I. Introduction: The Clear Call of Jesus • Matthew 28:18–20 (NKJV) “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…” • The Great Commission is not a suggestion, but a command. • Discipleship is not optional for the believer—it's our identity and mission. • Briefly affirm your audience's desire to follow Jesus more faithfully. II. The Nature and Consequence of Sin • Romans 3:23 (NKJV) “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” • Isaiah 59:2 (NKJV) “But your iniquities have separated you from your God…” • Hebrews 12:1 (NKJV) “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us…” Key Points: • Sin is not just moral failure—it's a barrier to intimacy with God and others. • Sin entangles and weighs down believers, keeping us from active obedience. • Our mission to make disciples is spiritual warfare—sin compromises our witness, our clarity, and our power. III. Sin's Direct Impact on Discipleship A. It Weakens Our Witness • 1 Peter 2:11–12 (NKJV) “…abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable… that they may, by your good works… glorify God.” • Our credibility is tied to our character. Ongoing, unrepentant sin dulls our message. B. It Diminishes Our Passion • Revelation 2:4–5 (NKJV) “…you have left your first love. Remember… repent and do the first works.” • Sin numbs the heart. A lukewarm heart does not multiply disciples—it replicates complacency. C. It Breaks Fellowship and Unity • John 13:34–35 (NKJV) “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” • Sin disrupts love and unity, weakening the Church's witness and the environment in which disciples are formed. IV. Repentance and Restoration for Disciple Makers • 1 John 1:9 (NKJV) “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us…” • Psalm 51:10–13 (NKJV) “Create in me a clean heart… Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted to You.” • Repentance is not the end of ministry—it's often the beginning of renewed fruitfulness. • David sinned greatly, but through repentance, his voice became a song of redemption that still disciples us today. V. Living Holy to Make Disciples Effectively • 2 Timothy 2:21 (NKJV) “Therefore if anyone cleanses himself… he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master…” • Holiness is not perfection, but readiness—an availability for God's use. • Personal holiness fuels spiritual authority and fruitfulness in disciple-making. VI. Conclusion: Renew the Mission • Luke 9:23 (NKJV) “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” • Philippians 2:15–16 (NKJV) “…shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life…” • The world needs disciples. The church needs disciple-makers. Jesus is still calling. • Let us repent where we've fallen, recommit where we've grown weary, and re-engage the mission with holy fire. **(1:00)** Busyness can suck that life out of you. One reason is that other activities intrude on the work that God is doing in you and through you. Be proactive and put God first in every activity, every day. It's not always easy but it's always right. – “Thank you for listening today! -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on January 12, 2025) In our daily struggle of discipleship, one of the most important things that will help us is to remember to thank God for freeing us from the bondage of sin. It is so important to remember that the new birth has changed us! Regeneration doesn’t...

Jordan Harper is a board-certified nurse practitioner and the founder and CEO of Barefaced, a skincare brand that cuts through the noise with simple, science-backed routines. After years of treating patients frustrated by complicated regimens, Jordan launched Barefaced from her garage—while pregnant and caring for a toddler. With no outside funding and countless late nights packing orders with her husband, she grew the business into a skincare empire. That side hustle has since grown into a powerhouse with 10 custom products, over 1.5 million units shipped, and a 90% return customer rate. In this week's episode, we chat with Jordan about the unfiltered reality of building a business from the ground up and what it really takes to stand out in a crowded beauty market. She shares how her experience as a nurse practitioner inspired her shift into skincare, and how the scrappy early days were all about listening to her community and figuring things out along the way. Jordan talks about how social media became her secret weapon, why showing up consistently matters more than perfection, and how she's built a loyal community by staying authentic and focusing on quality over quantity. We also chat about the realities of burnout, how she manages her time, and why feedback and flexibility have been key to her success. Jordan keeps it real about what it takes to grow a business, how to bounce back from setbacks, and why taking action before you feel “ready” can be the key to success.In this episode, we'll talk to Jordan about:* How childhood resilience shaped her entrepreneurial drive. [02:39]* Why parenting can sharpen focus and productivity. [05:28]* From healthcare to skincare: what sparked the career shift. [08:41]* Building a brand by listening to community needs. [11:37]* Finding aligned experts to support your vision. [15:47]* The story behind launching Barefaced. [17:55]* Managing motherhood and entrepreneurship. [23:56]* What early sales looked like for Barefaced. [27:00]* Managing time and priorities to reduce stress. [34:21]* Freeing up time by outsourcing strategically.

Taken from the text - A Treasure Trove of Scriptural Transmission - A Commentary on the Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena. Excerpt read from the chapter "Resting in Uncontrived Conduct".
