In this episode, we discuss the great paradox-The very thing that we so desperately want is the thing that we are so terrified of. We unpack how we all so desperately want and crave to be seen, valued, to feel like we matter to everyone else, yet, in the moment of truth, we are also terrified of truly being seen. We will discuss why this is so.

Today's podcast is about one of the most curious paradoxes of life in my estimation. We will never be able to experience us outside of our own lenses, yet that is the universal mode through which others experience us. It's a lot to chew on, so I hope you enjoy the way I set it up. Thank you for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matt-best/support

The Great Paradox
In John 12:20-26, Jesus says that the hour has finally come for him, the Messiah, to be glorified before the world. But why now? And whats it going to look like? The answer to these questions set up the great paradox of the cross of Christthat life comes through death.

Preached by Phillip Dancy over Psalm 69-1-36 on March 26, 2023
The Incarnation of Jesus showed a radically different approach to changing the world: through vulnerability rather than power. Jesus came to the world not as a king exhibiting power to subjugate people, but in the form of a helpless baby. Furthermore, Jesus led a life of dependence on others for protection and even basic necessities. It is human tendency to keep people at arm's length in an effort to maintain power or pride, but only through vulnerability can there be intimacy and tenderness. By nature, humans have limitations and are needy; to follow Christ means being earnest about our weakness, surrendering our ego, and learning not just to love and carry others, but also what it means to be loved and be carried by others.

Inherent in the system of physical reality is a great paradox. You are the creator of your reality, yet you have a core belief that you are not. You are an eternal, limitless magnificent being of pure positive love and acceptance, but you cannot remember this. You have access to infinite intelligence, but somehow that is out of your reach. Everything is right, yet you live in duality and perceive some things as wrong. This paradox is necessary and valuable. It provides the context for a journey of self-discovery. Without the paradox, physical reality would serve no purpose. In this episode, Joshua explains the paradox and how to understand it in an empowering way.

On today's Text-Driven Tuesday Jay and George are discussing Ecclesiastes 7:15-29 and the paradox of the problem of evil. Listen as the guys discuss a difficult passage of Scripture and strive to apply it to the Christian life. Conformed to Christ aims to engage the mind, affect the heart, and call people to follow Christ. Additionally, our aim is to introduce and explain passages of Scripture and difficult theological doctrines in a down-to-earth and easy-to-grasp manner. Theology and the Bible should impact your life, and our goal is that we might play a small part in seeing that happen.

I asked Jeremy Grimm to join the conversation about conservation because he has a great deal of experience from the public and private side, leading planning and development initiatives in small towns across the Intermountain West. For nearly a decade, he served as the planning and community development director for the City of Sandpoint, where he worked to spur economic development and job growth by securing public grants and working on capital improvement programs. Throughout his career, Jeremy has held appointed positions on the Sandpoint Urban Renewal Board, Panhandle Area Council, Wyoming Water Association, Big Horn Mountain Coalition (EDD), Governor Butch Otter's 2017 Workforce Development Taskforce, and currently serves on the Idaho Economic Advisory Council as Region 1 representative. Since 2007, Jeremy has raised his two children in Sandpoint, Idaho with his wife, Nichole, an independent Family Nurse Practitioner. Now – Jeremy owns Whiskey Rock Planning, a land-use planning and economic development consulting firm specializing in place-based economic development strategies, comprehensive and strategic planning, site permitting, entitlements, and code compliance. He works with municipalities, highway districts, and both commercial and residential developers. The Great Paradox of the West is everyone wants their piece of the American Dream – four walls and four lot lines. In the desire for our own space, we eat up the open space and destroy the very landscapes we have come here to love. So what can a person do? We talked about possible solutions, organizations working on our behalf to make these solutions possible, and the mindset required to achieve this shift. With that, I hope you'll listen in and gear up for what's next: Where to find Jeremy and other links: Whiskey Rock Planning Project 7B Keep Bonner County Rural LinkedIn BEFORE YOU LEAVE - If you are enjoying the shows, I hope you'll subscribe, rate, review, and share with your friends!

Single parents trying to create a stable home life when everything seems out of control can sometimes seep into over-protecting and overcompensating for our kids. Learning to balance our responsibility as parents and sheltering too much can be challenging. And as they grow older, the process of letting go of our day-to-day micro-oversight is even harder. Questions like “what if this happens? or what if that happens?” can begin to cripple us. Basically, fear can cause us to overcompensate with a desire to protect. Helping our kids get their own confidence and become who they are supposed to be requires 'taking off the training' wheels sort of speak sometimes. Whether your kids are 2 or 22, the process of letting go and trusting God can be so hard. This is perhaps the greatest paradox of parenting. On the one hand, parents are—and need to be—deeply attached to and invested in their children. On the other hand, a primary task of parenting is to prepare children to take responsibility for their own lives and let them go, so they become who God created THEM to be. On this episode Robert Beeson, Kimberley Mitchell and Elizabeth Cole explore ways to avoid overprotecting and let go of what is needed to prepare our kids as they grow older.

What is the value of living a humble life? Life for most of us is all about what we do and how successful we are. Yet in today's culture and with the power of social media, we also want to be well-known and admired for it. This is called the “pride of life.” Humble people are grateful people. They recognize who deserves the credit for everything in their lives. In this message I dig into the issue of pride and arrogance and then explore what I consider life's great paradox: the power of humility. - Richard
[00:30] Media Covering for Darrell Brooks (25 minutes)The left-wing media has been diligent about characterizing the Waukesha massacre in a way that's favorable to its agenda. Instead of calling it an "attack," networks have been calling it a “crash,” indicating it was an accident. Compare that to the Charlottesville attack from 2017 when the left-wing media characterized the incident as a “white supremacist attack” on the crowd. Facebook and Twitter have even rushed to erase Black Lives Matter-supporting posts from Brooks's accounts, which included posts endorsing Adolf Hitler and calls to "knock out" white people. [25:40] Releasing All Criminals (18 minutes)John Chisholm is the Wisconsin district attorney who is ultimately responsible for the $1,000 bail that allowed violent criminal Darrell Brooks to go free last week. Chisholm admitted in 2007 that his lenient approach to criminal justice would probably result in people being killed, but that was a small price to pay and shouldn't undermine the overall goal. Justice “reform” prosectors across the United States have announced that they are going soft on crime. The results are appalling. From San Francisco to New York City, residents, and even members of the media like Joe Scarborough, are complaining about the lawlessness in America's cities. [43:00] The Great Paradox of Knowledge (14 minutes)Why can't the same people who send men to the moon and back also bring peace and stability to the world, or even a single nation? With such an explosion of material knowledge, it would seem that our countries should be getting more and more peaceful and prosperous. But crime rates continue to soar, and evil men and seducers, as the Apostle Paul wrote, “wax worse and worse.” As Revelation 12:9 explains, Satan has deceived the whole world and has blinded mankind to what would solve every human problem on our planet—the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

Guest Pastor: James Lee 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us, but life in you. 13 Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, 14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. 15 For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. 16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self[a] is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

The Great Paradox | The Single Life (Galatians 5:13-15) by Christ Covenant
Today I'd like to talk about something that's very important to me - I call it the Great Paradox of Life. The apostle Paul addresses this in I Corinthians 1:18-24, "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Paul is contrasting the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of men to the wisdom of God. I am sharing this with you because I believe there truly is an art to living this life, and because life is governed by certain principles. Wisdom is seeking to live your life in harmony with these principles. So many of God's important truths are foreign to the world because they are counter-intuitive. Yet the truth and the wisdom of God is often paradoxical.

This is our gift from God, and its bestowal upon others like us is the one aim that today animates A.A.'s all around the globe.TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 151The great paradox of A.A. is that I know I cannot keep the precious gift of sobriety unless I give it away. My primary purpose is to stay sober. In A.A. I have no other goal, and the importance of this is a matter of life or death for me. If I veer from this purpose I lose. But A.A. is not only for me; it is for the alcoholic who still suffers. The legions of recovering alcoholics stay sober by sharing with fellow alcoholics. The way to my recovery is to show others in A.A. that when I share with them, we both grow in the grace of the Higher Power, and both of us are on the road to a happy destiny.Need the Daily Reflection Book?Visit our web siteRead about Recovery on our BlogVisit our Facebook GroupFollow us on TwitterSupport the Podcast:- On Patreon: https://patreon.com/dailyreflection- On PayPal: https://paypal.me/dailyreflectionIf you're struggling with alcohol or addiction, or wondering how to stop drinking it's helpful to know that there's a solution that has worked for millions of people.

Matthew 16:24-26 What does this have to do with me? 1. Your life belongs to God, and He decides what life is for. 2. Are you going to throw your life away? 3.

Jay Tramonte: seasoned entrepreneur, new venture advisor, business consultant, and host of the Venture With Virtue podcast shares from his own faith journey, as well as the threads he has drawn from 64 interviews about the intersection of faith and business journeys in the lives of successful executives. Learn about the "big lie" he has discovered, as well as the "great paradox."
In June last year, feisty politician Bantu Holomisa launched a raft of sensational allegations against a trio of leading businessmen which were immediately lapped up by the media. As a result, Holomisa finds himself on the wrong end of a libel suit. But the UDM political party president’s colourful language and skilful media management has had an upside. Last October, a Commission of Inquiry was established to look into his allegations of impropriety at the R2 trillion Public Investment Corporation, or the PIC. And in hearings since January the commission has exposed two unexpected warts: the dictatorial management style of the PIC’s now suspended chief executive Dr Dan Matjila; and likely fraud around the PIC’s R4.3bn investment in Ayo, a wanna-be African tech giant promoted on vapourware. The great paradox, however, is the supposedly pillaging businessmen described by Holomisa as “hyenas” are coming through the interrogation as honest agents. Indeed, testimony heard by Judge Lex Mpati and his commissioners Gill Marcus and Chief Lediga reveals their businesses have actually generated billions in profit for State pensioners. For those in the know, this is no surprise. That includes anyone who heard my interview with the central character, Harith’s founder Tshepo Mahloele. I was looking for the other side to an incredulous story shortly after Holomisa’s allegations were publicised. At the PIC Commission these past two weeks, Holomisa fared poorly under cross questioning. But those he targeted - Mahloele, his chairman Jabu Moloketi and business partner Warren Wheatley - appeared voluntarily and delivered a consistent and believable version of events. Last weekend, I caught up with Mahloele at the National Portrait Gallery in London…
Many of the people who work in food jobs haven’t always had the most balanced relationship with food in their own personal lives. An extra layer of shame sits with those of us who aren’t sure we have the right to teach healthy eating, or to feed others, if we at one time struggled to feed ourselves. Joined by Lina Salazar, Maddy Beckwith and Patrilie Hernandez, Kiko opens up about her past struggles. We dig into the impacts of this reality on our work and mental health, and how to move forward.

Seeking mind or non-seeking mind? Do we strive, or just be? As a spiritual aspirant how do we put into practice the benefits of both? Relative Reality and Ultimate Reality both have merit.

Does your body seem frail and weak to you? Do you often feel like a prisoner in it, bound to aging, aches, pains, sickness, and limitation? If so, this show is for you. A Course in Miracles is very clear that you are not a body—you are free. Yet there is an interesting sentence in Workbook Lesson 135 that says, "The body will be strong and healthy if ... " Come join Lisa Natoli as she talks about this idea, along with how defenses and planning are attacks against yourself. The body needs no complicated structures of defense, no health-inducing medicine, no care, and no concern at all. As you perceive the body as being apart from you, in service to the Holy Spirit, it becomes a healthy, serviceable instrument through which the mind can operate until its usefulness is finished. If you are ready to experience yourself in a whole new way, tune in!
How do you solve a problem like Korea? This week we are joined by Kristi Brian, a cultural anthropologist and author of Reframing Transracial Adoption: Adopted Koreans, White Parents, and the Politics of Kinship. In it we ask everything from "what constitutes family?" to "how are children turned into products for American consumers?" We discuss adoption horror stories, the history of adoption in the United States, racism, adoption as charity and industry, capitalism, patriarchy, and white feminism. And after getting into some depressing details of a corrupt system, we talk about some possible ways of moving forward and imagine what the future of families could look like. Check out my post Health is the Great Paradox where I lay out the modern Western paradigm--what I see as the root of adoption issues.

Because the characteristics described in the Beatitudes flagrantly counter the world's way of doing things, conflict with those who identify with Christ is inevitable.
Purity of heart holds a mirror to our deepest motivations, purposes and desires, and determines what we'll do about them.
Recognizing our need for God leads to mourning in our hearts over our sinful condition that separates us from Him.
As we hunger after God, we'll become more like Him by giving grace to the undeserving and mercy to the miserable.
Why is it we often tend to view God only as a stern, unhappy deity overseeing all we do? Jesus tackles that head on when his first message on earth tells how and why God wants us to be happy.
When we have truly mourned our sin, we gladly take the next step of submitting our will to God's.
Being poor in spirit means recognizing our spiritual need for God.

The Christian life is full of some strange, yet Biblical paradoxes. Consider the following:Salvation is both free and costly.To find your life you must lose it.Those who are last will be first.The least among men is the greatest.Those who give will receive.Those who are humble will be exalted.God is Three yet One.And the granddaddy of them all...True freedom comes only through slavery.

Galatians 5:1-6, 07/15/2007
If we want to achieve or acquire something, we must relinquish our attachment to having it. We must learn to become self-sufficient and understand that the only genuine source of happiness, success, joy, and security is to live our true selves and engage in actions that resonate best with us. . . .
