They believe achieving lofty goals is possible but pointless if you're constantly feeling heavy, depleted, and in a negative headspace. Health is everything so that's why they continually set goals, and they hope you feel inspired to fully commit to yourself, without the extremes and harshness that can sneak into the process. *Additionally, we want to remind you that this podcast is presented solely for educational and entertainment purposes.

Great advice is everywhere, but most of it is fluff. In sales, you don't need clichés—you need real strategies that help you win more deals. We've pulled together five of the biggest game-changing sales tips from the Sales Gravy Podcast so far this year.  These are proven tactics from top sales pros who know what it takes to close deals, stay sharp, and dominate the competition. If you want to crush your numbers, start here.  The Grind Gets You Gold You won't become a sales expert overnight.  But you can practice your way to excellence and then—one day—reach elite levels of selling. As sales guru Tony Morris said, “You get out what you put in. … You don't have to be the greatest; you've got to be the hardest [worker].” In other words, be ready to roll up your sleeves and get in the trenches. Everyone sees the skills of great athletes, but not everyone considers all the consistent work it took to hit that home run or make that perfect golf swing. Sales success is no different—it's the result of countless daily reps, not just the big wins. Top performers make it all look fluid—like a dance that should be easy to learn. But it's not. Developing sales acumen takes time and massive effort, plus dedication to the grind. You have to dedicate time every day to getting better—no matter what. Practice is an integral part of the grind. Drill your frameworks. Roleplay with mentors. Ask for feedback. You have to pick up the phone and make calls no one else will—that's how you win. Don't give up before you see results.  You Must Learn to Sell Once you've learned the basics, the grind perfects them. But you better start with some solid foundational skills. Sales strategist Dawnna St. Louis puts it this way: “The first thing you need to do is learn to sell.” Because trying to sell without knowing how to sell is an uphill climb that most never finish. Learn to sell, or risk losing everything. It's an ultimatum that no sales rep can afford to ignore. Even the best subject matter experts fail without sales skills.  Take courses and identify a mentor—a seasoned veteran who can provide feedback on your calls and negotiation techniques. Find a personal sales coach to teach you the ropes.  Perfect Your Digital Profile Stick to the simple; nix the jargon. As Breaking B2B Founder Sam Dunning says, “Does it pass the Caveman Grunt test?”  Given a few seconds, could a caveman successfully grunt what you do based on your website—or your social media presence—alone? If not, you're in trouble. No one is going to buy from you if they don't understand what you do or your expertise.  A website is the online lobby of a business—the introduction to your service or product for potential digital customers.  But take Dunning's advice one step further and apply it to your Linkedin profile and social media accounts that are your lobby to your potential customers. Lean into the basics: Who are you? What do you do? Why should a customer pick you? The quality of your messaging can encourage prospects to reach out to you or establish you as a trustworthy source of business. Create content that positions you as a thought leader and advisor.  Otherwise? Your social presence is useless. Wasted Time is the Enemy Time is the one commodity that you can't replenish. Once it's gone, it's gone. That's why you must dedicate time to filling your pipeline every week. Protect your Golden Hours at all costs and then use that time wisely to make as many calls as you can. Whether you're in the same building or your team includes remote workers, pick a mutual time and start dialing numbers. As best-selling author and sales expert Jeb Blount put it in a recent Ask Jeb, “Pick a period of time and say ‘We're going to run call blocks.' … Be ready with your list and we're going to chop wood.”  Eat the frog—carve out specific time to focus on your hardest task of the day.

Lanier is the wordsmith for all the stories and ideas of this beautiful and Jennifer is the artist who filled the book with beautiful illustrations. I know you would treasure this in your library. We had so much fun chatting about it on my podcast. I know you will enjoy this spirited conversation I had with two kindred spirits.

Send us a textWelcome to another heartfelt episode of God-sized Stories!Today, I am beyond thrilled to have the incredibly talented author Lanier Ivester join us to discuss her beautiful and soul-stirring book, "Glad and Golden Hours".This episode is packed with reflections on the nature of Advent and Christmas Tide, beautifully weaving themes of joy, sorrow, and the intentional celebrations that bring deeper meaning to our holiday season.What You'll Learn in This Episode:

As we enter the season of Advent and Christmas, we're bound to be overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle. The list of dishes to prepare, gifts to buy and wrap, cards to send, and parties to attend feels never-ending… which often results in the real reason for the season getting pushed aside. But when we set time aside to properly prepare our hearts to honor the birth of Jesus, the experience of Christmas can take on a whole new meaning—becoming a season of hope, rest, and renewal.  For this special holiday bonus episode, we're joined by Lanier Ivester, a writer and homemaker who has taken time-honored holiday traditions and shaped and molded them to fit her family—keeping restful intentionality at the center of it all. Lanier shares how to let go of what doesn't serve your soul, how to embrace the imperfection that makes gathering with our communities more authentic and real, and how to find glimmers of joy when you're celebrating Christmas with a grieving heart.    Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned:Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Jesus Listens for Advent & Christmas Jesus Calling for Christmas   Lanier Ivester's website Glad & Golden Hours by Lanier Ivester  Lanier Ivester's Facebook Lanier Ivester's Instagram Lanier Ivester's Twitter   Interview Quotes “We can burden ourselves even with wanting to bring intention into the holiday season. But the fact is that very turning of our hearts towards intention is itself intention. And that's honoring to God.” - Lanier Ivester  “In Christ, we can serve and prepare for the holidays and love our people and do all the things from a place of unconditional love. And that is a resting place. We don't have to do it all. We can step in, out of the wind of our culture, and just take refuge under His wings and really ask Him for wisdom.” - Lanier Ivester  “Scientists will tell you that taste and scent really create these pathways in our brain. They are what's known as memory bridges that can connect us to a place and a people and a time really effortlessly. And it's for that reason I've subconsciously carried forward a lot of my favorite meals and recipes from my childhood and brought them into my celebrations to this day with my husband and our friends.” - Lanier Ivester  “It's definitely a combination of anticipation and savoring. We need both, and there's so little room in our culture for either one of those.” - Lanier Ivester  “The reality is, many times the holiday season can be extremely difficult. Whatever we're walking through—whether it's grief, whether it's loss, whether it's deferred hopes or unanswered prayers, or things just not being the way that we want them to be—the holidays really amp that up, because it's easy for expectations of what a happy holiday is supposed to look like to slam up against our reality and make us feel a sense of lack in the light of what seems to be going on in the world around us.” - Lanier Ivester “Traditions serve our relationships. The traditions that we love are a container for our relationships—they were not the thing. The people are the thing, and the traditions hold the people.” - Lanier Ivester  “We serve a God who is in the details of our lives, and it's very easy to overlook that or think something is not large enough or important enough for His notice. But when we sit down with our plans for our holidays, our plans for our gatherings, and invite Him first before we invite anyone else into this space—asking Him to create a welcoming atmosphere—I think that that brings our holidays into a much more sacred space.” - Lanier Ivester “Advent makes space for our grief. It gives us freedom to name our sorrows, our longings, our yearnings to the One who will set them right, ultimately. But the flip side of that is if Advent makes space for our grief, Christmas makes space for our joy.” - Lanier Ivester ________________________  Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Stephanie Rousselle welcomes Lanier Ivester, who embraces life's imperfections to illuminate the beauty of Advent and Christmas. Lanier's book, "Glad and Golden Hours," invites us to cultivate joy amid sorrow and approach the holiday season with authenticity and grace. By intertwining sensory and spiritual experiences—much like savoring genuine Madagascar Bourbon vanilla—Lanier's book encourages readers to experience God's goodness through all senses, a practice embedded in her Advent essays. Advent is a powerful reminder of three "advents": the historical arrival of Christ, His anticipated future return, and His everyday presence in believers' lives. It's like a delicious cake baking, where the scent alone offers a taste of the joy to come. Advent thus becomes a time not just for reflection, but for anticipating the sweetness of God's promises, even amidst trials. Lanier introduces the concept of "otium sanctum," or holy leisure, contrasting sharply with the hustle of the typical American lifestyle. By starting the season from a place of acceptance and prioritizing peace, this practice encourages a restful approach to Christmas, embracing a peaceful, sufficient state of existence amidst the chaos. Through her writing and stories, Lanier has struck a chord with readers from varying backgrounds, resonating deeply with those who've had mixed experiences with Christmas traditions. She encourages readers to adopt meaningful traditions, finding joy and purpose despite previous disappointments, fostering a richer connection to the season. Grief is the 'great equalizer.' Whether rooted in sudden loss or extended heartache, grief opens a space for deeper intimacy with God. Lanier has navigated personal tragedies, from infertility to family losses, through a truth-centered approach that acknowledges both sorrow and joy, creating an authentic reflection of the Advent season. Lanier learned invaluable lessons about imperfection, and how God meets us in our grief, with the hope of reuniting with loved ones bringing comfort. Lanier's mother, a beacon of easygoing hospitality, taught her the essence of prioritizing people over perfection—a theme woven into her approach to Christmas. In this episode, you will experience… Living Advent: Lanier dives into Advent as not just a season, but an experience—a time to embrace the historical, present, and future presence of Christ, much like the irresistible scent of a cake baking in the oven. Holy Leisure: Ever heard of "otium sanctum"? It's all about finding a peaceful, restful state during the bustling Christmas season. Lanier shares tips on how to set priorities and create a calm oasis amidst the chaos. Joy amidst Grief: Lanier opens up about how grief, from infertility to family losses, has deepened her intimacy with God. She brings light to finding beauty and sufficiency in Christ, even in the darkest times. Embracing Imperfections: Perfectionists, rejoice! Lanier recounts tales of holiday mishaps, including a high school Christmas craft disaster, and how they taught her the true spirit of hospitality. Tradition and Memory: Dive into how Lanier finds solace in memory and tradition, exemplified by her mother's dining room table—a symbol of love and the Lord's hospitality.

“Like nature, our approach has always been quite random,” Renowned duo Woo on Music To Watch Seeds Grow By There once was a Woo on a musical spree, Who sang to Earth Angels beneath a tall tree. With tunes of delight, they made seedlings grow, Their “Music To Watch Seeds Grow By” did glow! The Woo danced a jig with a cucumber cane, While the Earth Angels hummed a melodious refrain. “Seeds sprout in time!” they chirped in their glee, And the Woo clapped along, as happy as can be. So now when you hear that harmonious tune, Think of the Woo and a sunny afternoon. For Earth Angels and melodies make gardens thrive, And nonsense like this keeps the whole world alive! A thoughtfully curated collection of ambient, minimalist, and new-age soundscapes designed to be the perfect soundtrack for moments of sowing these seeds, which accompany every release in quiet reflection. Composed by the renowned duo Woo—Mark and Clive Ives — this is one of a series of five unreleased albums from their archives. The release combines soothing tones from clarinet, guitars, percussion, and electronic elements, creating the perfect soundtrack for gardeners and music lovers alike. Featuring tracks like “Golden Hours” and “Earth Angels,” this album is an ode to the slow, rewarding process of growth and new beginnings. https://www.theransomnote.com/music/premieres/premiere-woo-earth-angels-music-to-watch-seeds-grow-by/

So at the start this morning I'm going to ask you a question and I want you to take a few seconds and really think about it. Use your imagination and try to picture this. Here's the question: What is the “good life”?I want to propose to you that whether you've thought about it in detail or not, you have a vision of the good life and it is the most dominant and consistent force for why you do what you do.The “good life” for each of us is how we envision the ideal picture of human flourishing. It's what we think when we imagine life lived well. The good life is an image, a picture, that's held out in front of us as a goal, and believe it or not, everything we love and every action we take is directed toward achieving that goal, because there is where we can be happy. The good life is what we spend our entire lives pursuing.And Psalm 73 is actually all about that pursuit, and I think there are some lessons here for us.I think the pursuit of the good life in Psalm 73 teaches us something for our own pursuit, and what I'd like to do this morning is show you three major lessons here that are absolutely necessary. If the pursuit of the good life is like a journey, these are three lessons/milestones that must be part of that journey — and I mean this: we will never experience the good life without these three things.You can decide later if you agree with that but I'm preaching under that conviction, and I need God's help. So let's pray again and get started:Father in heaven, please do now what only you can. Work in our hearts by the power of your Holy Spirit to make them open and receptive to you. Break the enchantment of our idols. Silence the distractions of our anxieties. Defeat the schemes of our enemy. We are a people in need of change, and in this moment, by your grace, we surrender to your will. We pray: do whatever you want, for your glory. In Jesus's name, amen. So, here we go: in Psalm 73, in pursuit of the good life, we learn we must …1) Recognize our broken perspective (verses 1–15).Look at verse 1. Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,my steps had nearly slipped. Remember “The prayers of David are ended,” we saw that last week. This is “A Psalm of Asaph” — and nobody really cares who he is. We can read about Asaph in Kings and Chronicles; he was a Levite, a worship leader, and there are 12 psalms connected to him — but nobody names their kid “Asaph.” By all accounts Asaph is a stand-in for the average Israelite. I'm just gonna call him “the psalmist.” He's meant to be the everyman — and a lot of us can get where he's coming from here, because here's his situation: he knows the truth about God but he doesn't think it applies to him. He says “God is good.” He knows that. God is good to Israel. God is good to the pure in heart. All that is true. But it's not for him, verse 2. He sees himself as an unfortunate exception. He's an outlier. He's able to think and say right things about God — he goes to church — but he feels like he's on the outside looking in … and sometimes we can feel that way. Sometimes it can feel like everybody else is okay but me. Because we're too complicated. We're always kind of on the brink of losing it. Almost stumbled. Nearly slipped. We understand what he's saying in verse 2. But he explains in verse 3 that the reason for his struggle was because he was “envious of the arrogant.” He saw the prosperity of the wicked and he wished he had what they did. And although he's speaking in past tense about a way he used to be, after verse 3 it's like he gets swept back up in that whirlwind of complaint. He goes on to describe the wicked in verses 4–12, and what he says is not necessarily untrue, but it is embellished. He's emotional here. This is what it feels like.He says the wicked have no pangs until death. Really? They have no trouble at all?Their car never breaks down. Their kids never get hurt. Their team never loses. Their grass is always green and lush and awesome. They don't have any of the problems we normal folks do, and they're wicked. Everything goes right for them, and they hurt people! And worst of all is that they shake their fist at God! They strut around like God does not exist. Verse 12 concludes: “Behold, these are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches.” Things just get better and better for the wicked, but things get worse and worse for the righteous — and the psalmist says it's not fair. At His LowestAnd in verse 13 we can track with the spiral that's happening here. The psalmist says he has lived righteously — he's kept his heart clean, he's washed his hands, he's done what God wanted — but he says, it's been all in vain. And this is, I think, his lowest moment. We hear his despair. He says it's all pointless. The wicked flourish and the righteous suffer and everything is stupid. This is rock-bottom, but in verse 15 he comes to, and he speaks again as if he's looking back at the past, and he says: “If I had said, ‘I will speak thus,' I would have betrayed the generation of your children.” In other words, in verse 15 the psalmist has found enough footing to look back at his time of struggle, realize he was off, and he's glad he didn't express it to everybody. In verse 15 he's saying: If I had tweeted the stuff that went through my mind in the midst of my struggle I would have messed up a lot of people.He was on the edge of deconstructing and he says: it's a good thing he didn't start a blog about it. Because he would have led others astray. Which means this: he now is admitting that he was not thinking straight. He recognizes that he had a broken perspective.And this is absolutely necessary in our pursuit of the good life. It's part of honest self-understanding. Sometimes we get it wrong. Sometimes our frame of reality is skewed. Second Best PlaceAnd get this: if the best place is to not be there — if the best place is to not have a broken perspective, then the second best place is to have a broken perspective and know it. The worst place is to have a broken perspective and be oblivious to it. The worst place is to say in verse 13 that everything is pointless and to not know you're wrong. So in verse 15 the psalmist is at the second best place, and here's the thing: when it comes to our growth in self-understanding — when it comes to learning more about how we're shaped to see reality and how we engage relationships — the more we get honest about ourselves, we cannot be afraid of second best place. Because when we're honest about ourselves, we're going to find areas of brokenness in our stories at a pace that change cannot match. We have to be okay with that. We have to be okay that “he's still working on me.” We still have room to grow and it won't happen overnight. There are times when our perspective is broken, and in pursuit of the good life, the first thing we need to do is to recognize that.Here's the second lesson: in pursuit of the good life, we must:2) Remember that God is real (verses 16–24).Verse 16, “But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task.” Recognizing your broken perspective is a lot to take in. And the hardest part is knowing that you're not completely off — you're wrong about some things but not everything. The wicked do prosper and the righteous do suffer — that's an observation, and it's one that God's people have been able to make over centuries, and we could come up with examples today. But if we were to be more precise we'd say: some of the wicked prosper for now, and some of the righteous suffer for now, and there is more to the story. And to say that there's more to the story is to say there is another perspective, and that perspective, the one we need, is God's perspective. And that's what happens in verse 17. This whole thing is a mess. It's overwhelming and confusing and frustrating, and the psalmist is tired of it, verse 17, until I went to the sanctuary of God …The sanctuary of God is the place of God's presence. In the Old Testament, remember God was the Holy One of Israel who dwelled in their midst, in the heart of the temple, in his sanctuary, and to be in God's sanctuary was to be close to God. So the psalmist, who is a guy like us, when he went close to God that's when he remembered that God is real. If distance leads to distortion, closeness leads to clarity. To be close to God, to remember God's realness, then, moves us beyond shallow acknowledgement and empty words, but this is where we begin to see everything in light of him. Everything in reality, our every way of thinking and seeing and moving, everything now has God always at the center. When we remember that God is real, we remember that he sees it all and we want to know: What does he think? What has he said?Look: I don't want to ever think about a single thing until I remember that God is real. Which is why, for me, the first thing I do in the morning is hurry to his Word. I don't need to know the headlines. I don't need to check my calendar. I don't need to peek at my email. I wake up everyday as a broken man prone to broken perspective and I need to hear from God. I need to remember that God is real — so I wanna get in on his praise and open my heart to his will and draw near to his presence and walk in the joy of his salvation.And when we're close to him, when we remember him, that's when we see rightly to repent sincerely and repent sincerely to see rightly. That's what's going on in verses 18–21. Getting Honest with GodWhen the psalmist remembered God is when he discerned the end of the wicked. He got the fuller story. Truly God will judge the wicked — he won't let them stand, he'll make them fall to ruin, he'll destroy them and sweep them away, and then their present prosperity will seem like a faint dream. Look at verse 21. This is where he looks back on his broken perspective, and he repents. He's been honest with himself and now he gets honest with God. Verse 21: “When my soul was embitteredwhen I was pricked in heart,22 I was brutish and ignorant;I was like a beast toward you…” Y'all ever been honest with God like that? God, I was an idiot. God, I was wrong, and I was stubborn about it. My heart was so closed off to you that I was like a beast. I was acting like an animal.I can assure you: you will never be able to get honest with God like this unless you know that he loves you. When God comes to us and asks us, like he asked Adam, “Where are you?” — which, by the way, God does that. If we're attentive to God's presence, if we're aware of his realness, everyday he asks us, “Where are you?” And when he wants to know where we are, we don't have to hide. We don't have to hide from God because our guilt and our shame has been overcome. That's the difference Jesus makes. Jesus took our fear and guilt and shame upon himself, and when he died on the cross in our place, he put to death everything that keeps us from God. Everything about our lives that would make us want to hide from God, Jesus took that. “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). God is now our Father, and he loves us. We can be honest with him. And that's when we break through to hope. The End of the StoryYeah, I was wrong. I've been a mess. But verse 23: “Nevertheless, I am continually with you;you hold my right hand.24 You guide me with your counsel,and afterward you will receive me to glory.” Held. Guided. Received. There's a contrast here to the wicked described in the previous verses. Everybody look at verse 17. See that last word there, “end.” Well in the Hebrew that word “end” in verse 17 and the word “afterward” in verse 24 sound the same. So the psalmist is saying: in the end, the wicked are destroyed, but in the end, I am received to glory. This is the right perspective. And he doesn't just see the fuller story, he sees the end of the story. In the book The Pilgrim's Progress (which a few of us have been reading this summer) there's this scene when Christian is at this place called the Palace Beautiful and he talking with some other pilgrims about how he became Christian. He tells them about how he was converted and became a new person, and they ask him if he ever has to deal with his old way of seeing. Are there times when he still has to bear with his broken perspective? And he says, All the time. And they say, Well, are there any moments when “those things are vanquished which at other times are your Perplexity?” — How do you overcome the broken perspective so engrained in your mind in order for you to see rightly?And Christian says, The times are more seldom than I'd like, “but they are to me Golden Hours.” And one way he says he gets there, to those Golden Hours, to that right perspective, is “when my thoughts wax warm about whither I am going, that will do it.”In other words, Christian sees rightly when he thinks about the end of the story. Hey, don't forget where we're going. In Psalm 73, like Christian, the psalmist knows where all this is headed: I am held by God; I am guided by God; I will be received by God. I know the end of the story!And we remember the end of the story because we see rightly, because we've been honest with God, because we remember that God is real.That's our second lesson here in pursuit of the good life. Here's the third lesson. We learn we must:3) Reorder our heart's affections (verses 25–28).The psalmist is now faced with ultimate reality, and in verses 25–28, he sees things as clearly as they could be seen this side of heaven. Derek Kidner, one of my favorite commentators on the Psalms, says that this passage is “unsurpassed, brief as it is, in the record of man's response to God.” The psalmist is here in a “Golden Hour” and the affections of his heart are put in order. Another word for our affections is our loves. Love is the action of the heart. We love from our hearts, and the ancients of church history would tell us that our fundamental problem as sinners is that our hearts are flawed — we have what's called “disordered affections” — which means we tend to love the wrong things in the wrong way. In other words, we love lesser things more than God.But that's not what's going on here. What we see happening in verse 25 is what Saint Augustine in the fourth century called a well-ordered heart — it's “to love the right thing, to the right degree, in the right way, and with the right kind of love.”The psalmist says to God, Whom have I in heaven but you? There is nothing on earth I desire besides you.This is a man whose searching has stopped. He has found his ultimate goal — what Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century describes as “that goal we pursue that so fulfills our desire as to leave nothing else to be desired.” No more idols — they will not do. All the substitutes are seen for the sham they are. Give me God, he says. Give me God. I want him. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also, the body they may kill, give me God. Give me God, says the worthy disciple, not because he loves father or mother or son or daughter less, but because he loves God more. More than his comfort, more than his career, more than his capabilities — he loves God more, with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might … which he knows is feeble.God, whom have I in heaven but you? … And one of the kids got poop everywhere, and another kid found a dead mouse outside and brought it in the kitchen, and the basement is leaking again, and I didn't sleep well last night — can God be this for us in real life? Yes. And he must be, because real life is all we have here. That's the honesty of verse 26.My flesh and my heart may fail — and it will: I'm a broken man, I get it wrong sometimes, I will probably die one day — but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. God is my everything, truly.What do I have that I did not receive from him, including my very life? If then I received even my very life from him how could I not love him more than life itself? For what is life without him? What good would life be apart from his presence?For behold, verse 27, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.Hell is that, Moses knew, which is why he said, God, if you don't go with us, don't let us go. True life is to be with God, and everlasting life is to be with God forever. Many people spend everything they've got running from him, in search of the good life. All those things about the wicked that I envied, none of those things really matter. That's not what I want. But for me it is good to be near God. Or another way to say it, verse 28, “But for me the nearness of God is my good…”The nearness of God is the good life. And God is not merely one piece of the puzzle; it's not a bunch of stuff which also includes God; Jesus is not the chaplain of the American Dream. God is the Ultimate Good and to have him leaves nothing else to be desired, but now all other things are subordinate to him and desired for his sake. Augustine put it like this: “He loves God too little, who loves anything together with God, which he loves not for God's sake.”See, this is a reordering of our heart's affections.God is first and highest, and everything else is directed toward him. The good life is to have God, and to have all other things Godward.That is the true ideal picture of human flourishing. That is the goal. And that's actually what you're looking for. That's what we really want.And I'm not telling you this as a law for you to attain. Reordering your heart's affections does not mean “try harder, do better, improve your life” — No — it means come rest. Rest. Find in God your refuge, the end of your searching. The nearness of God is our good.And so in the pursuit of him, we recognize our broken perspective, we remember that God is real, and we reorder the affections of our heart to put him first … and we hope for the day when our experience of his presence is uninterrupted and unending. Not just a Golden Hour, but a Golden Eternity.And that's what brings us to this Table.The TableThis is a table of fellowship. We come here to remember that Jesus died for us, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, to be with God forever. There is a bigger feast that awaits us, and this little meal points us there. If ever we should lose our way, if ever we might deny his grace, this table reminds us of the price he paid for us to be with God. This table reminds us where we're going. So if you trust in Jesus this morning, if the nearness of God is your good, come eat and drink with us. If you don't yet trust in Jesus, you must be exhausted. Trust him today.

Season 3: Episode 28: Preparing a Family for Another Transition Despite Continued Setbacks, We Move Forward   Guiding a family through a traumatic event requires compassion, empathy, and a delicate balance of support and engagement.  When faced with profound grief, it is crucial to provide a safe space for open family dialogue, together in family meetings.  Acknowledging wrongs and supporting forgiveness can be powerful choices in the emotional healing process, allowing individuals to release the weight of resentment to foster their own personal growth. However, forgiveness is a deeply personal journey, and it can never be rushed nor forced.

Season 3: Dear Louise Installment 3: How do you build your SCI community after injury? with Kelly Sydnor   Even as COVID protocols have relaxed in hospital settings and family members have more access to being bedside with their SCI loved ones, there is still a tremendous gap across the US in the knowledge and expertise needed to respond to a SCI patient nationwide.  The first critical decision made for a spinal cord injury is where to transport the injured person. Most 911 call centers are not familiar with the location of the 14 SCI model centers and SCI trauma centers.  The decisions for transitioning to an appropriate rehab facility can be equally frought with uninformed decision making.  Our guest today has been there as a mom of a son injured in 2011.  She calls herself the Trauma Mamma as she is one of the SCI moms who reaches out to new SCI families in their time if overwhelm, families often struggling to understand SCI and caught in the medical system often working with medical teams who have little SCI expertise.  Listen in as Kelly and Louise reflect on what they had to learn in the critical first weeks and months of injury and how this might help you or a friend navigate their way in the first months of SCI of a loved one.   Join us in building this SCI community as we connect and create a network of practical tips and support for SCI families and friends and medical staff working to provide the best care of their loved one to survive the first year of injury.   The creation of the Blink of an Eye non profit resource library is underway now. It will be a repository for the wisdom of SCI families, SCI information needed in the first year of injury, guidance, inspiration, and statistics that can empower families to guide the course of the SCI patient's healing and advocate for their well being and their family's well being.  Make sure to follow @BlinkofaneyeNonprofit on facebook and instagram for updates on the resource library.   Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom.

Kai Lung's Golden Hours

Madison and I talk about the unique job of being Kangaroulas, a unique birth worker that was developed by Dr. Nils Bergman and his wife Jills Bergman to focus on bonding and attachment of baby and mother. We also talk about our unique premature baby stories. Madison Hendry (aka Mama Bird), transitioned into motherhood in 2014. As a visual artist and recent graduate in 2011 with a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, NY, she began to see a shift in her artwork, career, and perspective on life. Her artwork has been exhibited and published internationally and included in pioneering events such as Project AfterBirth; the first-ever international exhibition based on the subject of early parenthood. With the premature birth of her second son, Madison became fascinated with the dynamics of the mother/infant relationship. She realized her touch, sound, smell, milk, and relationship with him were not only beneficial; she was essential and played an active role in his development. The process of having a premature infant taught her to listen to her instincts and her child's needs and respond to them. Madison received a scholarship and completed her Breastfeeding Educator Certification with Birth Arts International in 2018. She went on to become a Certified Birth Doula with BirthWorks Int. And Certified Kangaroula with Jill & Dr. Nils Bergman in 2020. Madison has over 9 years (and counting) of personal breastfeeding experience. She lives in a 1950s Sears Home in Cleveland, OH suburbs with her husband, tattooer, Angus Hendry, two boys, Angus and Huckleberry, daughter, Evergreen, and a baby on the way.

i went to a book sale today and i judged all the books by their covers. or more specifically, their spines. i chose the books based on the lettering on their spines and i guess we’ll see how it goes! but wow, ugh, some book covers are so ugly. i’m just hoping that if i’m drawn to the aesthetic of the cover art then i may be drawn to the content or style of writing?i judge people based on their aesthetics also (it’s a shortcut we all take, yah?) but it gets confusing because of places like urban outfitters and also because some of my favorite people have truly upsetting fashion sense.but like books, and people, i love a good recommendation. that way i don’t have to make time-saving judgements based on aesthetics. so what/who would you recommend to me?DOWNLOAD/STREAM RECORDING00:00 (intro by omar)00:20 Valley Gals “Come Over” Real Rock01:24 Post Moves “Cerulean” No Dignity in Haste04:56 ITCHY BUGGER “Baker Man” Done One07:18 Crisman “Rock” Crisman Tape09:32 Xenia Rubinos “DIOSA” DIOSA vs. BUGEISHA12:17 Gutter Girls “Love Song” Gutter Girls EP13:59 Mister Goblin “Calendar Dogs” Is Path Warm?18:09 Paperman “fool zero” cherry brain21:37 Overwhelmed “Thirty Five” Who Rules The World?23:58 Les Halles “Golden Hour V-VI” Golden Hours26:19 Sondra Sun-Odeon “Oaks” Desyre29:16 franz murder “a dreamlike place…” brat school32:19 Post/Boredom “Everything Avoider” Ritualistic Time Abuser35:19 Tara Jane O'Neil “The Crying Game” Songs for Peacock38:57 2 Chevrons “Disappear” No Rules In Outta Space41:49 PickleBoy “downer days” taking care43:45 P.P.

S3 Trauma Healing Learning 25: Wholehearted Patient Care with Trauma Nurse Rebecca McWalters Think about all the connotations of the word “care.” In a clinical context, it can refer to providers who give patients sustenance and medical attention for their survival and well being. Now, pair that definition with the more colloquial meaning of “care” – heartfelt devotion and love – and you have a truly incredible combination where a caregiver's work is responsive to the patient as a whole human.  There are so many emotional and medical factors at play for both patients and families in SCI rehab.  Wholehearted care can make all the difference in trauma healing.  Join Louise and Trauma Nurse Rebecca McWalters as we hear why nurses should slow down and how Mom's know best and what it takes to cultivate that combination of care as we get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the workings of an SCI care team at a premiere rehabilitation facility. Here we go. In this episode: Rebecca McWalters is the Director of Nursing with Baron Home Group in Atlanta, Georgia. She previously was a nurse at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta and was one of the people who made a lasting impact on Archer's care in the fall of 2015.

S3 Ep25: Listen to the Patient Self-Advocacy and the Caring Ethic in SCI Rehab   Even though a Spinal Cord Injured person's brain does not receive signals from lower parts of the body, that doesn't mean their body doesn't experience pleasure, pain or discomfort. And in late October, 2015, Archer knew. He knew his body well enough to speak up just in time about an internal sensation he thought he experienced. Thankfully someone was listening. Join us for a surprising turn in our journey, as we narrowly dodge a particularly ghoulish Halloween event but end up confronting something even more shocking. This could be the reminder you need to remember to listen – to your own needs, or to someone near you who needs to be heard right now, and how to paint the picture of the patient so the medical team can see who they really are. Here we go.   In this episode:   Rebecca McWalters was one of Archer's most dedicated and responsive nurses at the Shepherd Center. After working there for 14 years, she is now Director of Nursing with Baron Home Group in Georgia, serving SCI patients in their homes.   Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom.

S3 Trauma Healing Learning 24: Fr. Bruno Lanteri's Healing Legacy with Fr.

Bruno Lanteri, who became very important to the Senft family following Archer's accident.  Fr. Lanteri offers simple, elegant teachings that are relevant to anyone regardless of faith, and his life gives us examples of how to move through adversity toward healing in a simple mantra. His message is particularly useful for anyone moving through a traumatic life event or injury such as SCI, or facing any life challenges.

S3 Ep23: Lessons from Past Trauma Going Back to Go Forward Time is not linear. At least, not the felt sense of time. And when a crisis shocks the system, complex things can happen to the perception of time. Shock has the potential to bring us over the “window of tolerance” as described by Dan Siegel, and into the realm of trauma. When this happens, we need to later go back with resources and spaciousness to move through those experiences. In this episode, we take you on an experiential journey through embodied time in the wake of a trauma. You can expect the entertainment and nourishment of a powerful, true story, as well as some practical breathwork and somatic tools to gently move through your own difficult memories. Here we go.   In this episode:   Dr. Kris Radcliff, from Atlanticare ICU, who graciously and mindfully consulted with our family during the first hours following Archer's accident.   Davis Barsby, a lifelong family friend who was with Archer when Archer had his accident. That summer, Davis was working as both head lifeguard and assistant manager at the Cape May Beach Club.   Jessica Dibb, the Founder, Spiritual Director, and Principal Teacher of Inspiration Consciousness School, co-Director of the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance and Trustee for the Blink of an Eye 501(c)(3), was whom Louise called upon for intuition and breath-work insight about Archer's lung capacity.

  S3 Ep22: The Doctor is not the only Authority Timing the Rehab Hospital Discharge for SCI patients   The lifelong effects of SCI highlight how fragile life is and how deeply interdependent we are. And, in the case of the person living with a SCI, getting basic needs met necessitates relying on others, and interdependence takes on a whole new dimension. The transition home from the hospital or rehab facility cannot be rushed.  SCI survival depends on having a suitable home and trained care team.  The hospital team may not realize what it takes for families to put this together and families may need to negotiate for more time.  Families can look inward to another authority guiding them through this life change and timing decisions– and that is getting in touch with the inner authority. This affects how you know when the time is right, how you know when you have the right care team, how you communicate your goals to medical practitioners, and also how you can access hope. Take a moment, drop into your inner-knowing and join us to learn what it meant for Louise and how that might inspire your own decision making and healing process. Here we go.   In this episode:   Price Campbell, one of Archer's dear high school friends from McDonogh School in Baltimore who was one of the friends to come visit Archer at Shepherd.  Hear about Price's visit when she was just 16 years old, her fears, and what sparked some much-needed ease and a moment of lightness and restoration everyone involved.

  Season 3: Trauma Healing Learning 21: Design Tips for an SCI Accessible Home with Kathy Kirchner   A home is a place where we grow, where we rest, where we spend a significant amount of our time. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the most basic physiological necessities like shelter, rest, and water are all part of what a home provides – but also some of the more psychological needs like belonging and esteem. What happens when illness or disability change the way we fulfill those needs? What if our home no longer serves us in basic or complex ways? The process of changing a home in the wake of a catastrophic event like an SCI is highly layered, and requires team members versed in both home construction and therapeutic knowledge related to disability. Kathy Kirchner is someone who holds that knowledge, and in this episode we get some crucial advice from her on how to approach a home renovation for SCI or other disability, illness, or injury. Whether or not that is your current concern, join us to gain perspective on what it really means for a home to be accessible to all who live there.   Kathy Kirchner is the owner of Accessible Home Solutions, a consulting company that helps individuals and families through the process of reworking their homes to be more accessible. Kathy's clients include people transitioning from hospitals or care facilities and returning home with a new disability, couples who want to age-in-place and account for long-term health considerations, and adult children who want to ensure their parents live in a safe home environment. She also works with the Center for Innovative Care in Aging at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, the D.C. Office on Aging's Safe at Home program, and Habitat for Humanity of Metro Maryland's CAPABLE (Community Aging in Place Advancing Better Living for Elders) program.   If you are seeking a designer who can help with an accessible home modification project, you can find a national list of individuals certified by the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology Home Modification Program at this link.   Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom.

Season 3: Episode 21: Changes to our Home for SCI Recovery Grief and Small Steps Towards Acceptance   Sometimes you don't know all the things you're attached to until you're asked to let them go. In this episode, we explore the anatomy of a home, and the way it holds stories just like the body holds experiences.  When Louise and her family are asked to make permanent decisions about beloved spaces to make them more accessible for Archer, the changes that are needed must happen at the level of the heart and the psyche. Come with us and absorb insights to serve you in times of sudden change and subsequent integration. We will also unpack more learnings about SCI rehabilitation, including the process of weaning from a ventilator and being an effective medical advocate for your loved ones. Here we go.   In this episode:   Jackson Morrill, a close friend and teammate of Archer's at McDonagh. He closely followed the Family & Friend Updates and was there when the Senft family needed him.   Ken Rice, a friend of the Senft family who works in real estate. He learned of their need for a storage space to make the necessary home renovations for Archer, and helped out in a surprising way.   Pete Senft, Louise's son, discusses some of his early forays into engineering when he and others built a skate ramp in the Senft's garage, which became an important gathering place for many before needing to be renovated for Archer's return home and reinvented again.   Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom.

Season 3: Trauma Healing Learning 17: When Grief Gets Trapped in the Body with Dana Robinson, L. Ac.   Autumn is the season of grief. Grief also inhabits particular organs in the body. Healing invites us to move with and through our emotions and trust in their necessary processes, lest they become stuck within the body system. Learn with us as we explore some of the stunning millennia-old teachings of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as articulated by licensed acupuncturist Dana Robinson with Mend Acupuncture in Baltimore, Maryland. You will receive an illuminating teaching of how we can be in tune with the seasons of the calendar year, by paying attention to our emotions and which organs in the body correspond to which emotions and seasons, and how we can be in tune with the natural movement of the seasons and remove blockages in the body, particularly when certain emotions have not been fully processed, as many emotions are not in our fast paced world.     Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom.
