Learn how the stories we tell and hear shape our relationships, values, and sense of belonging.Summary: Storytelling is more than entertainment. It shapes how we think, feel, and relate to others. In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we dive into how immersive narratives calm stress, inspire reflection, and foster compassion across differences. We also explore how stories of resilience, joy, and tradition leave lasting impressions that influence our relationships and sense of self.How To Do This Practice: Choose a meaningful story: Bring to mind a personal memory, family tradition, or moment that carries emotion, care, or learning. Settle the body first: Take a few slow breaths and notice your posture, helping your nervous system feel steady and present. Recall sensory details: Gently remember what you saw, heard, smelled, or felt in the moment, letting the story come alive without forcing it. Notice what matters: As the story unfolds, pay attention to themes of connection, care, resilience, or joy that stand out to you. Reflect on its meaning: Ask yourself what this story has shaped in you—how it influences your values, relationships, or sense of belonging. Share or carry it forward: If it feels right, share the story with someone you trust, write it down, or hold it quietly as a reminder of connection and continuity.

In this passage, we're going to see Abraham bless his son, warn him against sin and then send him on into the calling of his life. In essence, we're looking at what Jacob received from his father Isaac. For those who have not been blessed in such a way, you can still receive your blessing as a Christian. It is your birthright, and you need it!

Understanding the Tax Trinity: Basis, Realization, and Non-RecognitionThis conversation delves into the fundamental concepts of property taxation, focusing on the tax trinity of basis, realization, and non-recognition. The discussion outlines how tax basis serves as the foundation for calculating gains or losses, the significance of realization events in triggering tax liabilities, and the implications of adjusted basis over time. It contrasts the treatment of gifts and inheritances, highlighting the stepped-up basis rule, and explores various non-recognition rules that allow for tax deferral. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the policy implications of these tax rules, particularly the stepped-up basis at death.In the complex world of tax law, understanding the foundational concepts of basis, realization, and non-recognition is crucial. These principles form the bedrock of property taxation and are essential for anyone studying tax law or preparing for the bar exam.The Foundation: Basis Basis is your investment baseline for tax purposes. It's the starting point for calculating gain or loss when you sell an asset. While it sounds simple—basis equals cost—the reality involves numerous exceptions and adjustments. For instance, the Uniform Capitalization Rules (Unicap) require businesses to capitalize production costs, adding complexity to the calculation.Realization: The Tax Trigger Realization is the event that triggers tax calculation. It's not just about cash transactions; exchanges of property or debt relief can also constitute realization events. The legal definition, as established in landmark cases, emphasizes the need for a transaction to lock in gains.Non-Recognition: The Escape Hatch Non-recognition statutes allow taxpayers to defer gains under certain conditions. The like-kind exchange rule under IRC Section 1031 is a prime example, allowing deferral of gains when swapping investment properties. However, the rules are strict, and missing deadlines can result in immediate tax liability.Mastering these concepts is not just about passing exams; it's about understanding how wealth moves through the tax system. The step-up in basis rule, for instance, allows billions in unrealized gains to escape taxation annually. As you delve deeper into these topics, consider the broader policy implications and the ongoing debates surrounding these rules.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest in tax law and gain insights into the intricacies of the tax code.TakeawaysTax basis is the starting point for calculating gain or loss.Realization is the event that triggers tax liability.Adjusted basis changes over time due to improvements and depreciation.Gifts carry over the donor's basis, while inheritances receive a stepped-up basis.Non-recognition rules allow for tax deferral in certain transactions.Like-kind exchanges allow deferral of gains when swapping similar properties.The dual basis rule prevents gifting losses.The stepped-up basis rule at death excludes unrealized gains from taxation.Realization and recognition are distinct concepts in tax law.The policy debate around the stepped-up basis rule is significant.tax law, property taxation, tax basis, realization, non-recognition, gifts, inheritances, tax deferral, IRS, tax code

Understanding Gross Income: The Foundation of Tax LawThis conversation delves into the intricate world of gross income and its foundational role in tax law. It explores the expansive definition of gross income as outlined in Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code, the judicial interpretations that have shaped its understanding, and the critical importance of realization in determining taxable income. The discussion also covers common categories of income, statutory exclusions, and the administrative choices made by the IRS that impact taxation. Additionally, it addresses timing rules and the claim of right doctrine, emphasizing the tension between inclusion and exclusion in tax law.In the world of tax law, understanding the concept of gross income is crucial. It's the bedrock upon which the entire tax system is built. This blog post explores the intricacies of gross income, drawing insights from landmark cases and statutory provisions.The Broad Net of Section 61: Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code casts a wide net, defining gross income as "all income from whatever source derived." This expansive definition ensures that nearly every form of economic gain is captured, from wages and business income to unexpected windfalls.Judicial Interpretation and the Glenshaw Glass Test: The Supreme Court's decision in Commissioner v. Glenshaw Glass established a three-part test for determining income: an undeniable accession to wealth, clearly realized, and under the taxpayer's complete dominion. This test has become a cornerstone of tax law, guiding the inclusion of various forms of income.Navigating Exclusions and Exceptions: While the presumption is that all accessions to wealth are income, there are statutory exclusions, such as gifts and inheritances under Section 102. The Duberstein case highlights the importance of the giver's intent in distinguishing between a gift and compensation.The Role of Realization: Realization is a critical concept in tax law, determining when income is recognized. The Eisner v. McComber case illustrates that mere appreciation in value is not enough; a specific event, like a sale, must occur to trigger taxation.Understanding gross income is essential for navigating the complexities of tax law. By mastering the principles of inclusion, realization, and statutory exclusions, one can effectively analyze and apply tax rules. As the IRS continues to adapt to new economic realities, the definition of gross income will undoubtedly evolve, shaping the future of tax law.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in tax law and beyond.TakeawaysGross income is the foundation of tax law.The definition of gross income is expansive and includes all accessions to wealth.Judicial interpretations, particularly the Glenshaw Glass case, have shaped the understanding of income.Realization is crucial; income is only taxed when it is realized through a specific event.Gifts and inheritances are excluded from gross income under Section 102.Illegal income is still considered taxable income.The claim of right doctrine allows taxpayers to deduct repayments in the year they occur.Administrative choices by the IRS can lead to non-taxation of certain accessions to wealth.Timing rules are essential for understanding when income is recognized for tax purposes.The tension between inclusion and exclusion reflects the policy goals of the tax system.gross income, tax law, judicial interpretation, Glenshaw Glass, realization, income categories, tax exclusions, administrative choices, timing rules, general welfare exception

As we all crawl to the finish line of 2025, Jordana and Dr. Naomi tackle resolutions (and why we barely stick to them) and gratitude for the stuff we only notice once it's gone. A betch needs help telling her boyfriend that his aggressively sentimental, customized gifts… are just not her vibe. A bride ropes her bridesmaids into a pre-wedding sleepover, and a listener's Betchicist asks how to say 'no' to sharing a pullout bed without drama. Dr. Naomi helps a listener struggling with a nerve-wracking left turn that's making every commute a nightmare, while Jordana commiserates over her own driving anxieties. One mom begs for validation that yes, her mother-in-law's nonstop commentary IS legitimately annoying. And finally, a listener fears she was ghosted by own her family on her birthday, leaving her to wonder if she's been quietly voted out of the inner circle.

Send us a textHoliday leftovers taste different when the gifts don't add up and the neighbors are acting wild. We crack open the post-Christmas reality: what happens when generosity meets expectations, and why a “practical” present can land like a punchline. Then we step into a real-life scandal across the street—overtime Wednesdays, a leased house, a quiet cul-de-sac, and a hard decision about what to do when trust collapses. The stories are messy, the advice is unfiltered, and the humor softens the edges without dodging the truth.From there we wrestle with the big moral question: when you hear a domestic blowup, do you step in or stay out. We trade experience over theory—what safety looks like, how optics can flip the script, and why being a good neighbor can be riskier than it sounds. The conversation widens into who “cheats better,” how routines hide secrets, and the petty genius of revenge-by-unlocked-phone. And then the mood shifts to the soft spot under the tough talk: kids, Santa, tooth-fairy letters, and the way cash-in-an-envelope becomes a dad's quiet love language.We close with a nostalgia bender and a ringside view: Ninja Turtles vs. Power Rangers, Fallout and The Last of Us on screen, and Jake Paul's 96-million-dollar masterclass in promotion. Respect the hustle, question the craft, debate the matchups—while admitting the villain everyone pays to see can still win the night. Hit play for a ride that moves from gift etiquette to neighbor drama to pop culture rabbit holes, all with the energy of friends who argue hard and laugh harder.If you're feeling it, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a review. Tell us your worst gift mismatch or your hottest Turtles vs. Rangers take—we'll read the best ones on the next show.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

Christmas Part III: Gifts and Givers Let's work on this together, discovering the true gifts and learning how to be true givers. During Advent, we are invited to look beyond what is exchanged and see what is received from God: love, peace, truth, and new life. As we open ourselves to these heavenly gifts, we are also formed into people who give from the heart. This week, we reflect on how receiving from the Lord leads us to give with joy, generosity, and charity. 12/21/25 If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to Subscribe and review our podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

Notes Matthew 2:1-12 Isaiah 60:1-6 Ephesians 3:1-12 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Robb McCoy explore the significance of Epiphany, focusing on the visit of the Magi and the gifts they brought. They discuss the importance of understanding the context of the Magi's visit, debunking common myths, and emphasizing the practical and symbolic meanings of the gifts. The conversation also touches on themes of maternal health, community support, and the universal message of God's grace for all people. The hosts reflect on the prophetic words of Isaiah and the secret plan revealed in Ephesians, encouraging listeners to consider their role in the community and the importance of showing up for one another. Takeaways Epiphany is a significant day in the Christian calendar, often overlooked. The visit of the Magi symbolizes the universal reach of Christ's message. The gifts of the Magi were practical and essential for Mary and Jesus. Understanding the context of biblical stories can enrich our preaching. Maternal health is a critical issue that connects to the story of the Magi. Epiphany invites us to reflect on who needs us in our communities. The dawn symbolizes hope and new beginnings for everyone. Ephesians reveals that God's grace is for all, not just a select few. Community is essential in faith, and everyone has a role to play. The gifts we give should reflect the needs of those around us.

In his sermon, “From Bondage to Abundance,” Pastor Toshaun Avery shares how the same power that delivered the Israelites from Egypt can set you free today. He traces the Israelites' journey from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land and shows how this pictures our own spiritual journey from captivity in sin to the abundant life Jesus offers. Explore how God's instructions for the Passover lamb, the blood on the doorposts, and the unleavened bread all point prophetically to Christ, our Passover Lamb, who was sacrificed for us. You will see how the Exodus story foreshadows the cross, how the blood of Jesus saves from judgment, and how purging out the “old leaven” leads to a life of sincerity and truth. If you're longing for freedom from sin's penalty and power, this message will help you understand how Jesus delivers, redeems, and calls you into a new identity as a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and God's own special people.

Laughter after longing is more than a mood; it's a marker of grace. We open Psalm 126 and watch a people who sowed in tears come home with shouts of joy, then ask what it looks like to live that pattern now: thank what God has done, savor His gifts without suspicion, and share the story so others can see the Giver clearly. From there we get practical—remembrance as obedience, not nostalgia—drawing on Joshua's stones to shape simple habits that keep our hearts soft and our witness strong.I walk through the year's living “stones”: hearts ignited by Scripture, a wave of baptisms spanning quiet lifelong faith to fresh conversions, and a growing culture of post‑service prayer that carries both burdens and celebrations. Among us, ordinary devotion has multiplied—kids learning to pray, students leading younger peers in the Word, and a foster and adoption ministry that mobilized meals, cars, and hands‑on care without fanfare. It's the Acts 2 way: teaching, fellowship, shared meals, and prayer producing surprising fruit over time.Beyond our walls, generosity helped encourage pastors abroad, deliver eye care alongside the gospel to tens of thousands, and fuel church planting across the U.S. and around the world. Not to boast in output, but to celebrate that God weaves ordinary faithfulness into extraordinary reach. The final turn lands close to home: after naming how God met our desires, we ask how we might give Him one of His. Prayer, presence, service, witness—choose one and build with us on this playground under construction until Christ returns.
