All my life I felt awkward and out of place, not because of my religion, but because of my spiritual gifts. It was hard to combine the idea of what first seemed like two separate worlds. So my whole life I have tried. I have learnt more about my gifts, and stayed faithful to my faith. But then I heard people left the church because it seems impossible to combine the two. So I am here, to try and mend the rift. To show that it is possible to be both LDS and to have, and use, our spiritual gifts. I am not alone on this journey, but my sister, who just is waking up to her spiritual gifts is by my side and she will also share her story.Jesus Christ, our older brother, was a healer. He asked us to love one another. So let´s follow in his footsteps. Please join me on this journey, let´s make a community of strong spiritual LDS, or whatever religion you belong to, and all work together to make this world a better place.If you like what I do, then you can find me here:https://linktr.ee/ldsandmediumIf you have words of support or stories that you anonymously want me to share please write me at ldsandmedium@gmail.com.

An Unsolved Case & Its Ghostly Aftermath In June 1948, a young woman named Mary Jane Reed went out on a first date—and never came home. Days later, her body and that of her date, Stanley Skridla, were found murdered outside Oregon, Illinois. Decades of rumors, corruption claims, and unanswered questions turned this cold case into one of Illinois' most chilling mysteries. From a missing skull to reported ghost sightings, my guest, author Ted Gregory, explores the unsolved murder that refuses to stay buried.

Gift of Light What if the greatest gift of Christmas isn't under your tree, but hidden in plain sight — in the places you'd least expect? This week we unpack the “Gift of Light” in John 3, where Jesus meets Nicodemus, a religious leader searching for truth in the dark. The contrast is clear: some saw signs and believed, but Jesus knew their faith was shallow. Nicodemus comes with questions, and Jesus gives him the kind of answer that still echoes today — “You must be born again.” From a bronze serpent lifted in the wilderness to the Son of Man lifted on a cross, we discover that the true light doesn't just decorate our lives — it exposes, disrupts, and ultimately transforms. In this episode, we explore how to name the darkness in our lives, take steps toward the light, and reflect it to a world still stumbling in the shadows. John 3:1-21 Discussion topics Read John 3:1–21. What stands out to you in the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus? Why do you think John connects this story directly after the people who “believed” in Jesus for His signs? What is the difference between believing in signs and true faith? (side-note question... Pastor used the phrase unsaved believer; how do you feel about that statement?) What do you think Nicodemus was really looking for when he came to Jesus at night? Have you ever experienced a moment of quiet searching like that? Jesus said people avoid the light because it exposes their deeds. What's something in your life that you've kept in the dark?  What would it look like for you to “step into the light” this week — spiritually, relationally, or emotionally? Think about your daily life — your home, work, or community. Where can you reflect the light of Jesus in a practical way? Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what's next

Sunday, 14 December 2025   But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”—Matthew 15:5   “And you, you say, ‘Whoever, he should say to father or mother, “Gift – whatever if from me you should benefit”'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus cited the fifth commandment and then a penalty found in Exodus for cursing one's father or mother. He continues His words to the scribes and Pharisees, emphatically saying, “And you, you say.”   The stress indicates a teaching of these men that will come into conflict with the laws just cited from Exodus 20 and 21. In essence, “God says this, and you, you say this...” The treacherous teaching they say is, “Whoever, he should say to father or mother, ‘Gift – whatever if from me you should benefit.'”   A new word is seen in this verse, ópheleó, to be useful, to benefit, to profit, etc. The parents could have received benefits from the child, but that is no longer the case because it has been given as a gift.   The words make little sense to us because the idea has to be understood from the cultural practices of the people. The inserted words of many translations, to God, help provide clarity. A person has parents he is required by law to tend to. However, if he gives the gift to God, it becomes sacred and can no longer be used for common purposes. Charles Ellicott gives a suitable explanation –   “If he had once devoted his property once said it was ‘corban,' or a gift to God - it could not be appropriated even to the support of a parent. If a parent was needy and poor, and if he should apply to a son for assistance, and the son should reply, though in anger, ‘It is devoted to God; this property which you need, and by which you might be profited by me, is “corban” - I have given it to God;' the Jews said the property could not be recalled, and the son was not under obligation to aid a parent with it. He had done a more important thing in giving it to God. The son was free. He could not be required to do anything for his father after that. Thus, he might, in a moment, free himself from the obligation to obey his father or mother.”   In the end, this shows a mean-spirited attitude towards one's parents by giving a gift to God, something the leaders would be all too happy to receive, and thus denying the parents what was otherwise commanded by God. Once it was devoted to God, even though it violated the law by denying the parents what he was responsible for, it was henceforth out of reach for that proper purpose.   Life application: There are all kinds of ways of getting around obligations. Some are good and some are devious. Some are legal, the legality of some may be questionable, and some are obviously illegal. Man has contrived many ways of getting around what they are directed to do.   In some cases, the government itself makes allowances for getting around paying taxes. These usually benefit people who have the money to do so, such as gift and inheritance taxes. However, some countries allow money to be given to churches or other charitable organizations that would otherwise have been taken as taxes.   These usually start with good intent. A charitable organization, such as a food ministry to the poor, is set up. People can give to it and get a tax deduction. The problem is that the food organization begins funneling money off to other things, still legally, that really have nothing to do with helping others.   This has gotten completely out of control in the US, where organizations like BLM were receiving millions of dollars for really perverse purposes. All the while, the people who set the organization up were pocketing millions.   At the same time, because of the hard left ideology of those in the government, real charitable organizations, based on Christian values, were being targeted or denied tax-exempt status in order to frustrate their efforts.   The path people will normally take is the bad one. Tax exemption programs are a great place for people to do devious things. When you give to such organizations, be sure to check them out thoroughly. Don't just assume that what you are giving is being handled properly.   If a preacher has a Learjet, you can bet he also has a giant house, maybe two or three. Is that where you want your money to go? Be wise and discerning in how you give. It is important.   Lord God, help us to have discernment in how we spend our money. There are a lot of teachers and preachers of Your word who have hidden agendas that do nothing to further the gospel or an understanding of Your word. We pray that You direct us so that we don't get duped by those who appear one way but are not at all what they seem. Amen.

How does a church navigate change, controversy, and continuing revelation while staying true to its foundation? The Articles of Faith lay the groundwork, but the two Official Declarations provide proof of a living church, led by a living prophet. We'll analyze the deep counsel given in these landmark sections. Official Declaration 1: The End of Plural Marriage President Wilford Woodruff faced a devastating dilemma: adhere to the law of plural marriage and lose the temples, ordinances, and leadership to imprisonment, or cease the practice. Honoring Authority: President Woodruff declared his "intention to submit" to the laws of Congress that the Supreme Court had pronounced constitutional. He even went so far as to order the Endowment House "taken down without delay" following one reported (but unproven) case of a marriage performed there. The Critical Question: He was commanded by God to "ask the Latter-day Saints a question" —which was the wisest course: to sacrifice the temples and ordinances, or to cease the practice, "leave the Temples in the hands of the Saints," and let the work for the dead continue. Prophetic Integrity: He declared he would have let all the temples go and gone to prison himself "had not the God of heaven commanded me" to do what he did, and when that command came, "it was all clear to me". This shows a willingness to fully embrace the opposing viewpoint before receiving the final divine guidance. Official Declaration 2: Revelation on the Priesthood Received by President Spencer W. Kimball after "extended meditation and prayer in the sacred rooms of the holy temple" , this declaration fulfilled the promises of earlier prophets. Divine Guidance: The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles "pleaded long and earnestly" and supplicated the Lord for "divine guidance". The Result: God "heard our prayers," and by revelation, confirmed that "the long-promised day has come". This revelation extended the priesthood and temple blessings to "every faithful, worthy man" so he could "enjoy with his loved ones every blessing" that flows therefrom. The Articles of Faith These 13 points, part of the Wentworth Letter, establish our fundamental beliefs: Core Doctrine (A of F 1-4): Belief in the Godhead , accountability for "our own sins, and not for Adam's transgression" , salvation through the Atonement "by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel" , and the first principles of Faith, Repentance, Baptism, and the Gift of the Holy Ghost. A Living Church (A of F 5-9): We believe in priesthood authority , the "same organization that existed in the Primitive Church" , spiritual gifts , and accepting the Bible and the Book of Mormon as the word of God. Most importantly, we believe God "will yet reveal many great and important things". The Path of Discipleship (A of F 10-13): We believe in the literal gathering of Israel , "claim the privilege" of worshiping according to conscience , are subject to the law , and seek after anything "virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy".

In this episode of the Man Therapy Podcast, hosts Dan and Kyle discuss the joys of winter and nostalgic childhood memories, particularly around snow and sledding. They transition into the stress of holiday shopping and the importance of thoughtful gift-giving in relationships. The conversation shifts to insights from a marriage counselor, focusing on the dynamics of intimacy and the challenges couples face as they navigate changes in their relationship. They explore the complexities of sexual intimacy, particularly in the context of biological changes and life stressors, emphasizing the need for open communication and understanding between partners. Takeaways Winter brings joy and nostalgia for childhood memories. Planning ahead for Christmas shopping can reduce stress. Gift giving should be thoughtful and considerate of the recipient's preferences. Marriage requires open communication and understanding of each other's needs. Intimacy can be affected by various life changes and stressors. Scheduling intimacy can help couples reconnect despite busy lives. Understanding biological changes in partners can foster empathy in relationships. It's important to give partners the benefit of the doubt in challenging times. Navigating intimacy requires both partners to be willing to adapt and communicate. Relationships thrive on mutual respect and understanding of each other's circumstances.

Christmas can feel magical.It can also feel exhausting. If you're a parent who secretly feels pressure rising as the holidays approach—the expectations, the mess, the emotions, the memories—you're not alone. And sometimes, the clearest wisdom doesn't come from another parenting book or productivity hack. Sometimes it comes from children. I sat down with my two sons for a conversation about Christmas. I expected sweetness and laughter (and we definitely had that). But what I didn't expect was how profoundly wise their reflections would be—for moms and dads who want to keep Christ and joy at the center, even when emotions run high. May this conversation be a gentle reminder for all of us about what truly matters this season. The Most Important Thing During the Holiday Season When I asked my boys what makes Christmas special, their answers were simple: Being with family Giving and receiving gifts And most importantly—Jesus Isn't it interesting how easy it is for adults to know that truth, but still lose sight of it when stress enters the room? Kids seem to understand something we forget:Christmas isn't about perfection.It's about presence. Not perfect decorations.Not perfect meals.Not perfect behavior. But hearts that are oriented toward love. How Christmas Gets Derailed (And What Actually Matters) One of the most insightful moments came when we talked about what can ruin Christmas. Their answer? A negative, ungrateful attitude. And then they surprised me again by pointing out something many parents don't want to hear: "Adults need to remember this too." Children feel the atmosphere of a home.Even when no words are spoken. Tension.Unresolved anger.Stress that leaks out sideways. Kids may not understand the details—but they absolutely feel the weight. And when parents are overwhelmed or snapping at each other, it impacts everything. When You're Tempted to Snap at Your Spouse So, what do you do when you're tempted to snap at your spouse? Here's where the conversation turned especially tender. We talked about parents getting stressed—especially moms who want everything to be "just right" before guests arrive. And my sons said something profound: Take ownership of your emotions Don't take stress out on your spouse Walk away if you need to Calm your body before speaking They emphasized taking ownership of the way you choose to respond. We discussed Matthew 12:36 that says, "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak," The win isn't never feeling frustrated.The win is choosing restraint, humility, and love in the moment of temptation. The Gift of Calming Yourself Before You Speak How do you calm yourself before you lose your temper? They offered practical ideas—simple, doable, grace-filled: Take a walk Drink cold water Take deep breaths Step outside or into another room Take a long shower with space to think Not to avoid responsibility—but to prevent harm. Because once harsh words are spoken, they linger.And children remember not just what we say—but how it felt to be in our presence. If You've Messed Up Before… There Is Grace What if Christmas in the past was painful?What if words were spoken—or wounds created—that still ache? Their advice? Pray Go to the person you hurt Say "I'm sorry" sincerely Ask if there's anything you can do to repair And then—trust God with what you cannot undo. You are not disqualified from joy because of past mistakes. Keeping Christ at the Center (Without Adding Pressure) When I asked how families can keep Jesus at the center of Christmas, their answers weren't complicated: A nativity scene A meaningful star on the tree Praying before meals Simply thinking about Jesus Not performance. Not religious pressure. Just intentional reminders. Sometimes the most Christ-centered thing you can do is slow down enough to remember why you're celebrating. Final Thoughts: What Happens After Christmas The final question: When January comes, how do you want to remember this Christmas? My boys said: Happy, Safe, Grateful, Hopeful. Not impressed.Not exhausted.Not relieved it's over. But filled. That kind of Christmas doesn't come from doing more. It comes from being more present. If the holidays feel intimidating this year, hear this:You don't have to create a perfect Christmas.You are invited to cultivate a peaceful one. One where Christ is honored. Where your marriage is protected. Where your children feel safe. Where grace is louder than stress. And if you feel overwhelmed already—pause. Jesus came for this kind of moment. May your home be filled with warmth, peace, and joy this season. And may Christ—not pressure—be at the center.   With love, The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - We are hosting our In-Person Training Celebration Call THIS Sunday at 6:30p.

These gifts aren't wrapped under a tree—they're intentional decisions that build clarity, confidence, stability, and long-term wealth. This episode is designed for anyone looking to step into the new year with better habits, smarter planning, and a sense of peace around their finances.Key Topics Covered1. The Gift of Financial ClarityUnderstanding your numbers—spending, savings rate, debt, investments, and insurance—gives you control instead of chaos. You don't need perfect tracking, just greater awareness.2. The Gift of a Fully Funded Emergency FundA boring but powerful gift. Cash reserves protect you from crises and help you take advantage of opportunities. Start with one month saved and build toward 3–6 months.3. The Gift of Intentional (Not Emotional) SpendingWealthy people spend with purpose, not impulse. Focus on experiences, relationships, health, and convenience that aligns with your goals.4. The Gift of Protecting the People You LoveInsurance, wills, power of attorney, and updated beneficiaries—all crucial. Protection isn't just about money; it's about easing the burden on the people who matter most.5. The Gift of Better HealthYour future self needs movement, sleep, lower stress, stronger muscles, and fewer “fast-food emergencies.” Health is a financial asset—protect it now.6. The Gift of Automatic ProgressAutomation beats motivation every time. Automate savings, investments, debt payments, and charitable giving so progress happens without effort.7. The Gift of Meaningful, Not Generic, GoalsYour goals should be specific, measurable, realistic, and emotionally powerful. Tie goals to purpose—for example, buying a beach house for family connection or funding kids' college for their future freedom.8. The Gift of Giving in Ways That MatterGive in alignment with your values—whether that means money, time, mentoring, service, or presence. Meaningful generosity benefits the giver as much as the receiver.9. The Gift of Guidance (Not Going It Alone)Stop trying to figure everything out yourself. Find the “who”—a financial advisor, tax professional, mentor, business coach—to reduce mistakes and speed up progress.10. The Gift of Saying “No” More OftenProtect your time, energy, financial health, and emotional well-being. Every “yes” is also a “no” to something else. Make sure your commitments align with your priorities.Bonus Gift (for Business Owners): The Value Builder ScoreDiscover the current health and approximate value of your business and learn which areas to improve to increase profitability and future sellability.Take the 10–15 minute assessment at: weeklywealthpodcast.com/valuebuilderscoreCall to Action• Schedule a 10-Minute Wealth Vision Call: weeklywealthpodcast.com/vision• Connect on social media: Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube @WeeklyWealthPodcast• Email David: david@parallelfinancial.com•...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer offers a statement so empty it all but amounts to an endorsement of Trump's goal of regime change in Venezuela. At a news conference held moments after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado is asked about Trump's looming invasion, and she claims that Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas have already "invaded" Venezuela. Ret. Lt. Col Anthony Aguilar joins Emma to discuss his decision to become a whistleblower after his experience as working as a sub-contractor for the Gaza Humanitarian Fund.

Many people feel a sense of relief when they vent. Others use lighthearted humor to joke about their flaws. And sometimes revisiting a painful story feels like "getting it out." But what if those very emotions — the ones that feel harmless, comforting, or even positive — are quietly wiring negative patterns deeper? In this powerful episode, Brandy works with a wonderfully open-hearted volunteer, Mary, whose experience reveals a surprising truth about the subconscious mind: It can link positive emotions to negative patterns — and once that association forms, the mind keeps recreating it. You'll hear how moments of relief, connection, reassurance, or even humor can accidentally reinforce the very emotional loops people are trying to break. This is the kind of insight that makes listeners stop and say: "Oh wow… I never realized I was doing this." You'll also see Brandy's unique approach to mind-body healing in action — revealing a deeper emotional logic that finally explains why patterns repeat and how they can truly change. In This Episode, You'll Discover: How positive emotions can get linked to negative situations — creating subconscious reinforcement without your awareness Why "feeling good" in a negative pattern can make it harder to break The counterintuitive way the mind pairs relief, connection, or love with old programming Why venting or retelling your story often strengthens what you want to release How self-deprecating humor can shape your identity and relationships — even when it feels lighthearted Why you can feel loved and unloved at the same time — and how to resolve that split A deeper understanding of how emotional rewiring actually works — beyond logic, willpower, or positive thinking This episode is especially powerful for anyone who has been "doing the work" — trying to stay positive, self-aware, or spiritual — yet still finds themselves pulled into the same emotional reactions. If you're ready for a genuine aha moment about how the mind truly works… you won't want to miss this episode. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal? Here's a demonstration of Brandy Gillmore working with volunteers under medical equipment, as featured in a medical journal.

It's Hump Day on the Majority Report On today's program: Ahead of Trump's rally in the Poconos in Pennsylvania, News Nation talk to locals on their thoughts on Trump's economy and the results were not good for the president. Trump kicks off his "Affordability Messaging" tour and spends most of his time at the podium complaining about immigrants and replaying his old hits but with much less energy and way fewer people in the audience. Independent journalist, Kalena Thomhave joins Sam to discuss her piece in Capital & Main titled, Home Care Workers Are Losing Minimum Wage Protections — and Fighting Back. Senator Bernie Sanders joins Sam and Emma for a conversation about wealth inequality and his book, Fight Oligarchy. In the Fun Half: CNN interviews Caleb Ragland, a soybean farmer relays the dire economic disaster that American farmers are facing under Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Trump announces a $12 billion bailout for farmers, funded by tariff taxes paid by Americans — a package that will almost certainly end up lining the pockets of Monsanto executives and similar agribusiness giants. Candace Owens responds to Tim Pool's rant attacking her over Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories. If you are in Kentucky or just interested check out the Bluegrass DSA All that and more.
