When starting projects things often feel chaotic. Go Ahead - wade in and watch your world transform.

In this episode of Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I'm joined by Willow Weston, whose brand-new book Collide: Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt released today, March 10. Willow shares her powerful story of how God met her in the middle of deep pain and completely transformed her life.Growing up in a difficult environment with an alcoholic parent, Willow carried years of unspoken hurt and brokenness. By the time she reached college, the weight of those secrets had become overwhelming. But God had a different plan for her life—one that began with a “crazy Christian lady” named Cindy who simply invited Willow into her home, listened to her story, and introduced her to Jesus.Through that relationship, Willow began asking deeper questions about faith, purpose, and healing. At 21 years old, she surrendered her life to Christ, and everything changed.In this conversation, Willow shares how her personal healing journey led to the creation of Collide Ministries, which now serves thousands of women each year.Together we talk about: • Why avoiding pain actually causes more pain • The difference between asking God for healing and participating in healing • How unresolved hurt can impact our relationships, families, and even our physical health • The importance of safe community and letting others carry our burdens • Why you don't have to have everything figured out before God can use your storyWillow reminds us of a powerful truth:Jesus never avoided pain—He ran straight toward it.And if you've been avoiding your own wounds, today might be the day God is inviting you to step toward healing.If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, this episode is for you.Your healing matters.And you are worthy of it today.Bio:Willow Weston is an author, a speaker, a podcast host, and the founder of Collide, a ministry impacting women nationwide. With decades of experience, Willow brings passion and truth, sharing her own journey of pain to inspire others to invite Jesus into their brokenness so they, too, can experience healing. Willow leads conferences that empower, heal, and transform women. She has authored several Bible studies, including The Birds and the Lilies; Personal and Powerful; Go Ahead; Yes, You; and Collide and Converse.Willow loves telling stories and inviting others to share theirs. She's a spelling bee champ but loses miserably in Trivial Pursuit. She can throw a mean dinner party but is a criminal at the local library. She has a hippie name and once lived on a school bus as a kid. Willow frequents coffee shops more than she'd like to admit and sits across from hurting people in the hope that they will find help for their pain. She uses china on Wednesdays and loves making the ordinary feel extraordinary. Willow battles insecurity and old wounds every day, just like you probably do too.She collided with Jesus in college, and He became her direction, her healer, her hope, and her rescuer. Jesus met her in her brokenness and has used her there too. She's been married for more than 30 years and has two kids who teach her more about God and life than she could ever teach them. Willow is as real as you get, obsessed with hosting parties, coffee, the beach, and a good, good story.Anchor Verse:Deuteronomy 30:3Connect with Willow:Website: https://www.willowweston.comMinistry Website: https://wecollide.netIG: https://www.instagram.com/willowanneweston***We love hearing from you!

Today's Promise: Exodus 23:20 In today's episode, we explore the powerful promise that God sends His angels ahead of you to guard, guide, and lead you into His prepared plan. Too often, we overlook the supernatural ways God is actively working in our lives.   Scripture reveals that angels are not distant figures, but present helpers who protect, instruct, and clear the path before God's people. From Lot to Peter to Jesus Himself, we see God's angelic intervention again and again.   That same divine protection is at work for you today. Even when you don't see it, God's angels are fighting battles, preventing harm, and directing your steps. Be encouraged as we unpack three ways angels are working on your behalf and learn to walk in confidence, not fear. You are not alone; heaven is actively involved in your journey.

Does it matter if politicians cheat on their spouses? Often the most moralizing politicians are the least moral; Is it possible to lead the nation if your own spouse can't trust you? The GOP Senate Primary in Texas is weird and getting weirder; Comer's committee wants the truth about Epstein - just not from Trump

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      That viral video features a young girl named Jessica, and it is widely known as "Jessica's Daily Affirmations." In the video, which was originally recorded in 2001 but became a massive internet sensation years later, Jessica stands on her bathroom counter in front of the mirror. She energetically pumps her arms and shouts positive phrases to herself, including: "I can do anything good!" "My whole house is great!" "I like my pajamas!" "I like my hair!" "I am great!"     Proverbs 19:8 To acquire wisdom is to love yourself;     people who cherish understanding will prosper.     The Core Meaning At its simplest level, this verse is about enlightened self-interest. It suggests that seeking knowledge isn't just a dry, academic exercise or a moral obligation—it is the highest form of self-care. 1. "Loving Your Own Soul" In the ancient Hebrew context, the "soul" (nephesh) refers to the whole person—your life, your being, and your vitality. The verse implies that if you neglect your mind and character, you are essentially being unkind to yourself. By acquiring wisdom, you are equipping yourself to navigate life's traps, which is the ultimate act of self-love. 2. "Keeping" Understanding There is a distinction here between getting wisdom and keeping it. Getting: The initial act of learning or seeking advice. Keeping: The discipline of applying that knowledge consistently. The promise is that those who hold onto their discernment don't just "have" information; they "find good"—meaning they experience practical success, peace, and favor.   The Context of Proverbs 19 To understand this verse fully, it helps to look at the surrounding themes in Chapter 19: Integrity vs. Wealth: The chapter opens by saying it's better to be poor and honest than a rich fool. Verse 8 reinforces this by showing that true "wealth" is found in the mind and spirit. The Consequences of Folly: Much of the chapter warns against laziness, false witnessing, and hotheadedness. Verse 8 stands as the "positive alternative"—the way to avoid the disasters mentioned in the rest of the chapter. Relationship with God: In the Book of Proverbs, wisdom is never purely secular. It begins with "the fear of the Lord." Therefore, "getting wisdom" implies aligning your life with divine order.     To get the "3D" version of this verse, look at these two specific Hebrew words: Qoneh-leb (Getting Heart): The literal Hebrew says "The one who acquires heart." This implies that wisdom isn't just something you're born with; it's something you purchase or acquire through effort, discipline, and sometimes painful experience. Shomer (Keeping/Guarding): The second half of the verse uses shomer, which means to watch over, guard, or preserve. It's the same word used for a watchman on a city wall. It suggests that once you learn a truth, you have to defend it against your own impulses or the world's distractions.

Brian Tamaki says he is still planning to protest by walking across Auckland's harbour Bridge tomorrow despite a police promise to stop it. He's urging crowds to meet him at Victoria Park in the central city tomorrow for a protest in opposition to the COVID-19 restrictions. Police Superintendent Naila Hassan told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the police are unsure if the march will actually go ahead, but that doesn't mean they are unprepared. "We'd prefer to keep the operational details close to our chest, but we will be ready to respond to that group if they decide to march onto the harbour bridge."

Looks like we missed the turn to go to Nilbog, kids. Let's just keep going to Norway. Troll 2 is the kind of sequel that knows exactly what it is and leans into it with reckless enthusiasm. This is a big, loud, gloriously dumb monster movie that wears its influences proudly on its sleeve—Roland Emmerich disaster excess, Indiana Jones-style pulp adventure, Jurassic Park escalation, and Godzilla-scale city-smashing spectacle. It doesn't apologize for any of it. Instead, it barrels forward with the confidence of a film that understands the assignment: entertain first, think later. The plot is predictably ridiculous, but that's part of the charm. Ancient threats awaken, governments panic, scientists shout exposition, and ordinary people find themselves running very fast from things that absolutely should not exist. The film gleefully stitches together familiar blockbuster tropes, but does so with enough sincerity that it never feels cynical. It's corny, yes—but it's fun corny, the kind that invites you to laugh with the movie rather than at it. Where Troll 2 really shines is in its scale and energy. The action sequences are big, messy, and frequently absurd, but they're staged with surprising clarity and enthusiasm. The trolls themselves are impressively realized, blending creature-feature menace with just enough mythic weirdness to give the film a distinct Norwegian flavor. The movie may be chasing Hollywood spectacle, but it never completely loses its regional identity, and that grounding helps the madness go down easy.   In the end, Troll 2 is a celebration of blockbuster stupidity done right. It's not trying to reinvent the genre or inject faux prestige into monster mayhem. It just wants to smash landmarks, crank the music, and keep the audience grinning for two hours—and it succeeds. If you enjoy over-the-top disaster movies, pulpy adventure throwbacks, and unapologetically silly spectacle, this sequel delivers exactly what it promises, and does so with a big, dumb smile on its face.
