Do you find yourself saying “yes” when you really want to say “no”? Do you feel responsible for keeping the peace, even at your own expense? If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

We explore the line between kindness and self-abandonment, how saying “no” can actually strengthen relationships, and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways we've learned to reclaim our voices. If you've ever wrestled with resentment, vagueness, or fear of being “the bad guy,” you're not alone—and there's a way out. Tune in as we share stories, insights, and actionable strategies for building healthier boundaries without losing your sense of connection. Episode Highlights:[0:00] - Why people pleasing hits so close to home for both of us.[1:14] - The difference between being genuinely kind vs. being "nice" to your own detriment.[3:49] - Laura's story: Growing up flanked by strong personalities and learning to placate.[6:46] - How family patterns condition our conflict tolerance in adulthood.[8:32] - Colette's evolution in romantic relationships and the fear of losing love.[10:11] - Assertiveness is a muscle: why it takes time and practice to break the habit.[11:02] - People pleasing ≠ being confident and kind.

Joe highlights the importance of proper tree maintenance to support the District's stormwater-management work. We also discuss how trees communicate through underground fungal networks, bringing "winter interest" to our project sites, and the potential for beautifying roadsides with wildflowers.Whether you're a casual observer of neighborhood greenery or an aspiring horticulturalist, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the trees working silently around us.For further reading:Silverstein, Shel. The Giving Tree. Harper & Row, 1964.Simard, Suzanne.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible Podcast, and a blessed day to you all on this January 26th! Today we continue our journey through the scriptures with your host, Heather, who joins us every Sunday to delve deeper into God's Word. We gather not because the scriptures themselves are life, but because they bear witness to Jesus, the true source of our life. Together, we ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate these readings, warming our hearts around the fire of God's love. Our readings today cover Exodus chapters 14 through 16 and conclude with Acts chapter 2. Join Heather as she recounts the dramatic crossing of the Red Sea, the provision of manna and quail from heaven, and the powerful moment when the Holy Spirit descends upon believers at Pentecost. Reflect on the obstacles that stand in our way, just as the Israelites faced the Red Sea and bitter waters, and discover the profound lesson that the disposition of our hearts is what truly needs healing. Heather reminds us of God's unfailing promise and the life-giving power of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Stay with us as we draw closer to Christ and apply the teachings of these scriptures to our daily lives. As always, Hunter will be back with you tomorrow morning. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to our podcast, and consider signing up for our monthly newsletter. Now, let the joy of the Lord be your strength, and remember this: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What's standing in your way? Is it a big Red Sea or perhaps a small pond of bitter water? When that obstacle seems to be removed, there's dancing, worship, and song. But when it shows up again, the dancing disappears. The Israelites had sung and danced. They had seen God's hand deliver them by taking them across the Red Sea and saving them from Pharaoh's army. But now, only three days later, it's not the Red Sea standing in their way. It's a desert and a small pool of water that is full of bitterness and death. They called it Mara because the waters were bitter. Now instead of thinking about the strong hand of God, they're thinking about complaining. Their thoughts turned to what they didn't have and what was standing in their way. They had no water, no life. Their thoughts turned from worship to complaint, not to prayer, but to complaint. They didn't look to God for help. They looked for someone to blame. That's so much like our life and the human heart. Our singing turns to blaming. The truth is God has nothing to apologize for. He was going to make good on his promise to them. He would bring them out of Egypt and into the Land of Promise. The thing that really stood in their way was not the Red Sea or a bitter pool of water. It was the disposition of their hearts. In Exodus, we see Moses standing there looking at the waters that are in his way. God shows him a piece of wood, a tree as it were, a healing tree. God tells him to throw this healing tree into the waters of death so that death's poison could be absorbed into this tree. In turn, the healing life of that tree would be released into the waters. The picture couldn't be clearer. God, in his great love, has seen the disposition of our fickle and fallen hearts, so easily dismayed and quick to complain and blame rather than trust and worship. Our god has seen the problem that stands in our way. It's not the Red Sea or the Pool Of Mara. It's the disposition of our heart. God's answer for our heart is a healing tree and his son who would die on that tree. On that tree, the son took the poison out of the water and released his life into you and me and into this world so that we might all have life. Look to the healing tree of Christ and all that he has accomplished for you on the cross. Recognize once again that on that tree, he absorbed the poison and released his life. His power enables you to live the with God life here and now, and it is his life that will take you into the land of Canaan. I'm not talking about life in heaven. I'm talking about life today. Are there struggles you're facing today? Maybe it's an impending divorce, a devastating diagnosis, or a rebellious child. There is life now in the midst of all of that. Because of what Christ has done on the tree, he is able to teach us another way, 1 of awe, worship, gratitude, wisdom, and courage. It is a way where we are learning to walk with him once again. God has dealt with your heart on the tree. Let him now apply the life of his healing tree to your heart. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

362 Stories Influence Our Identity and Personal Narrative    As we close the chapter on 2024 and begin to start anew in 2025, it's time that we take a step back to reflect on the narratives and stories that we have been harboring. We must take it upon ourselves to determine if these stories still serve us or if it is time to let those stories stay a product of their time and remain in the past so that we can create new stories that reflect us who we are now.  In today's monologue Sarah Elkins ruminates on the effect the story The Giving Tree had on her as both a child and a mother, and how it has inspired her to reflect on other stories that no longer serve her.    Highlights What stories are you telling yourself that do not stand the test of time? How do the stories you've heard influence you and the relationships with the people around you. It's not too late to change the ending of your story. Will you choose a kinder conclusion or will you choose the option that gives you peace?   Quotes “Think about the stories that you read to your children in the hopes that they'll absorb some morality lessons; Like Aesop's Fables, maybe stories from the bible, or maybe books from your culture or religion. We can't expect children to absorb those lessons but ignore the ones in Cinderella and The Giving Tree. It doesn't work like that, literature is Literature.” “As we head into the new year it's a really good time to consider our impact on the people and environment around us, and to make an effort to be more intentional about that impact.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I challenge you to take inventory of a few things; before you make any new years resolutions, before you pick a word of the year, or as you consider your goals for personal growth in 2025, ask yourself these questions. What influenced my identity as a child or young adult that maybe it's time to review and consider whether they still resonate and why? What stories have I been told about myself as a child that no longer align with who I am or how I want to experience myself moving forward? And what evidence can I point to, recent stories, that contradict those childhood labels that no longer fit? Lastly, what stories am I continuing to share about other people; my children, my friends, my family, and others in my community and at work, that might be contributing to negativity and division?  And, as always, thank you for listening.   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened. Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."

On the evening of May 6th, 2013, in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, three enduring mysteries were shockingly solved. Three missing Cleveland women, Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus - all long presumed dead - were found to have been held captive by a madman named Ariel Castro for roughly a decade.  It is insane what they had endured, and it is so inspiring how all three women have chosen not to let their torture and captivity define them. GIVING TREE INFORMATION: If you would like to donate this year, go to amazon.com and purchase a gift card.
