Opening: Joy evangelizes (and kids teach us)The “joyful demeanor” that opens doors to talking about Jesus (without getting weird).A godfather breakfast on a baptism anniversary becomes a living lesson in evangelization.“Five seconds” theology: most of our daily encounters are brief—so what do we do with them?The Thomistic pivot: Why life feels like a blurTime accelerates as you age; “someday” becomes a trap.Many men feel stuck for 10–15 years—spiritually, vocationally, relationally, and in work.The antidote isn't bigger ambition—it's better order.Aquinas on happiness: What won't satisfyAquinas method: name the end (happiness), then rule out false ends.Wealth: money is a means, not a final end.Honor / reputation: depends on others; happiness must be stable and interior.Power: instrumental, addictive, and easily disguised as “leadership.”Pleasure: real and good, but cannot be the end—pleasure perfects an act, it doesn't define the goal.The positive claim: What happiness actually isPerfect happiness is the vision of God (beatific vision).We can't fully attain it in this life, but we can live an imperfect happiness by ordering our lives toward it.Key shift: beatitude, not optimization.Hierarchy of goods (practical framework for 2026)Three filters for any resolution:Is it ordered toward the highest good? (God, truth, contemplation)Does it support your vocation? (husband/father, priest, etc.)Does it treat lesser goods as means? (money, status, comfort serve the mission)Concrete resolutions (small, durable, lifelong)“Not huge shifts—small profitable habits that stick.”Guarding silence and adding a few more minutes of contemplative prayer.A reminder: you can “succeed” without prayer, but not in the way a Christian wants to succeed.The closing medicine: Gratitude slows timeGratitude grounds you in the present and breaks the “always next” mindset.

In this episode of Root Issues, we have a special guest with us, Jonathan Woodrow, where we examine Paul's call in Philippians 4:8-9 to think on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. We explore how these divine standards provide a practical framework for evaluating the entertainment we consume. Paul's instruction isn't just about avoiding the impure; it's about actively filling our minds with excellence and training our thoughts toward what honors God..

In this conversation from Austin, Jim Cassidy, Lane Tipton, and Camden Bucey reflect on the abiding value of the Westminster Shorter Catechism as a tool for cultivating a God-centered, covenantally rich, and confessionally rooted Christian life. The discussion highlights Jim's new book, Introducing the Faith: A Study of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, which serves as a written complement to his two free Reformed Academy courses through which he teaches the Shorter Catechism (Questions 1–38 and Questions 39–106). Together, the hosts trace their own histories with the Standards, demonstrating how catechesis shapes believers in the chief end of man—to glorify and enjoy God forever. They also explore how the catechism's covenant theology anchors the church in biblical teaching, safeguarding the glory of God amid contemporary pressures. The discussion turns to the weighty task of confessional subscription—its history, responsibilities, and the risks of revision. With pastoral clarity and historical attentiveness, the hosts encourage churches and teachers to handle their confessions with both gratitude and vigilance. The episode concludes with a look at the ongoing mission of Reformed Academy and the resources being developed to strengthen the church in catechesis and confessional fidelity.

Proverbs 18:22–24 highlights God's design for blessing through relationships. Finding a wife is described as finding a good thing and receiving favor from the Lord, reminding us that covenant companionship is a divine gift, not a mere achievement. Yet the passage also warns that many acquaintances do not equal true friendship, while one faithful friend can be closer than a brother. In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore the difference between God-given relationships and shallow connections, the blessing of covenant faithfulness, and the enduring strength found in loyal, godly friendship.

What would happen if a coordinated cyber and physical attack disrupted the systems that power daily life—not just power plants, but data centers, pipelines, and communications? Cyber and physical threats to the electric grid are growing more advanced, more frequent, and harder to detect. The impacts can ripple far beyond the energy sector, affecting communities, public safety, and the broader economy. From sophisticated phishing to copper theft from power plants, competitive power suppliers, grid operators, and utilities must stay prepared. In this episode of Energy Solutions, EPSA President and CEO Todd Snitchler sits down with one of the nation's top grid security leaders to unpack today's threat landscape and what it takes to strengthen the power system. Michael Ball is Senior Vice President of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and CEO of the Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (E-ISAC). They discuss the rising role of AI in cyberattacks, how adversaries target industrial control systems, and why information sharing across the energy sector is essential. They also cover insights from the recent national GridEx VIII exercise—as well as a new “Grid-Ex-in-a-Box" drill EPSA customized for member companies this November in Houston—and explore how competitive power suppliers can get prepared before a real crisis hits. Topics include: How cyber threats have become constant and increasingly sophisticated, The rise of almost autonomous AI-enabled cyberattacks, Physical security risks including vandalism, copper theft, and drone activity at power plants, How adversaries target industrial control systems with advanced toolkits,  The critical role of information sharing across competitive power suppliers, utilities, and government partners, What the E-ISAC does and how it supports industry-wide situational awareness, Key insights from GridEx VIII, The importance of resilient communications strategies and updated playbooks,  And what competitive power suppliers and utilities should focus on heading into 2026. Host: Todd Snitchler, President and CEO, EPSA Guest: Michael Ball, senior vice president, NERC, CEO, E-ISAC   Liked this episode?

What Are US Troops Guarding And Dying For In Syria by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Stay the Course, Being Steady in the Lord in the Mist of a Volatile World • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give We are living in a time when everything around us seems to be shaking. Nations are shaking, economies are shaking, families are under pressure, and even within the visible church there is instability and compromise. Headlines change by the hour, but the Word of God has not changed. The Lord is raising up a people who will not be driven by fear, trends, or the latest crisis, but who will stay the course and remain steady in Him even when the world is volatile. God is not surprised by this hour. He has already prepared a path for His people. He has given us His Spirit, His Word, and His promises so that we can stand firm, endure, and even flourish when others are losing hope. 1. Steadfast when everything is shaking First, God calls us to be steadfast and unmovable. He does not want a fearful, fragile church, but a steadfast people who know whom they have believed. 1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 2. Running with patience, eyes on Jesus To stay the course in a volatile world, we must run the race God has set before us with patience and with a clear focus on Jesus Himself. Hebrews 12:1 2 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 3. Guarding your heart and mind with peace In a volatile world, anxiety comes knocking each day. But the Lord has given us a way to walk in supernatural peace in the middle of chaos. Philippians 4:6 7 “Be careful for nothing but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee.” 4. God is our refuge when the earth trembles There are times when the shaking is not just emotional or personal, but global. Even then, God promises to be our refuge and strength. Psalm 46:1 3 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.” 5. Trials that refine instead of destroy Some of the volatility we face is not just out there in the world, it is in the form of personal trials. But in the kingdom, trials are not just random attacks. God uses them to refine, mature, and strengthen us. James 1:2 4 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” 6. Not troubled by the signs of the times The Lord even spoke about the volatility of the last days. He told us about wars, rumors of wars, and shaking, yet He also told us how to posture our hearts. Matthew 24:6 “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars see that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:13 “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” 7. Planted, not blown around In a volatile world, many people are tossed like leaves in the wind. But the righteous are called to be planted like trees by rivers of water. Psalm 1:1 3 “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Colossians 1:23 “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven whereof I Paul am made a minister.” We are living in a volatile world. There are shaking events, confusing voices, and real pressures on every side. Yet in this very hour, God is calling His people to stay the course. To be steadfast and unmovable. To keep our eyes on Jesus. To trade anxiety for prayer and thanksgiving. To let His peace guard our hearts and minds. To refuse to waste our trials and instead allow them to refine us. To endure to the end. To delight in His Word until we are like trees planted by rivers of living water. To stay steady in the Lord in this kind of world is not something we can do in our own strength. We need the Holy Spirit. We need the Word of God dwelling richly in us. We need fellowship with other believers who are also set on finishing well. So today, ask yourself, where have I been shaken. Where have I let fear, offense, or weariness push me off course. Where have I been listening more to the world than to the Word. Bring those areas back to the feet of Jesus. Surrender again. Say from your heart, “Lord, I choose to stay the course. Make me steadfast. Guard my mind with Your peace. Plant me deep in Your Word. Help me endure and finish my race well.” As you do, the same God who steadied Joseph in a foreign land, Daniel in a hostile empire, and the early church in a time of persecution will steady you in this generation. The world may be volatile, but your God is not. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in Him you can stand firm until the very end.

There will always be some who try to infiltrate the church and undermine the gospel. Let us be on guard! God has entrusted us with the most valuable news ever to grace the ears of humanity…let us be discerning, beware, and be grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ which saves!

Send us a textWhat if your child's anxiety, sleepless nights, or sudden mood swings aren't only “behavior” but signals of unseen overload—entities, thought contamination, or emotional spillover from the people and media around them? I'm pulling back the curtain on dark forces in plain terms and sharing what actually helps kids feel safe again.Across several real cases—a teen with a brain-level attachment, a nine-year-old tethered by a ghost for years, and even a car haunted after a fatal crash—I walk through how I identify and clear these patterns, then explain why that's only step one. The real breakthrough comes from reintegration: rebuilding the nervous system, restoring a baseline of safety, and teaching children to protect their own energy using simple, repeatable tools. This is where neuroscience meets intuition, and where sensitive kids transform from overwhelmed to empowered.We also get practical about culture's influence. From streaming shows to games and music, modern media can carry heavy programming that quietly trains a child's nervous system to brace. I don't preach avoidance; I teach protection. I introduce Energetic Armor For Kids—guided audio support for daily protection and grounding—and outline a six-week parent focus group with live Q&A to answer your specific questions. For those who want full training, the Light It Up program goes deeper into techniques and the why behind them.If your child says they're being watched, resists sleeping alone, or carries worry that feels older than they are, this conversation gives you a calm, capable plan. Support the showJoin Unveiled - The Membership here.

You'd think that step one, "guarding your mouth with a muzzle", would be all that the good Lord requires of us.  Nope. There is another step:  watch what happens inside.  Does the muzzled anger burn a hole in your heart?  I held my peace inside, but got no peace? I ate my words and they ate me up? If so, there is yet another problem to address. Join me if you just might need more than a muzzle. Subscribe and commenthttps://youtu.be/Vl_HEtQdi54

Whether it's a bad day, an unexpected setback, or theundeserving privileged, it's easy to get offended. It's easy to lash out and cry unfair. It's easy to cancel and complain and grumble and gossip. But the easy way is not God's way. He calls us to take the difficult path. Instead of asking what you can get out of life, tackle offense with gratitude. On Sunday,November 23, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan reminds us that attitude is everything and to guard against the evil eye.

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --The heart of the matter is a matter of the heart. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. Psalm 139:23-24 NLTLevav / Heart: The center of character, will, and understanding. The place you think, feel, desire, and decide. Kardia: the inner self, thoughts, emotions, desires, and decisions. The control center of human life.(Read verses 7-8) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.

These days, it feels more important than everto stand guard at the doorway of your mind.We're living in a time where information pours infrom every direction—so much noise… but very little wisdom. And if we're not careful, that noise can start shaping our inner worldbefore we even notice.However, we also possess the incredible power of choice.And right now, that power matters more than ever. Wisdom comes from a deeper place— from intuitive knowing shaped through experience. It's the voice inside that grows louder the more we listen. And who we surround ourselves with matters.What we feed our minds matters.#LivingToBE #GuardYourMind #ChooseWisdom #DigitalDetox #MindfulLiving #InnerPeaceJourney #SpiritualGrowth #SoulCentered #WisdomOverNoiseUseful Information:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.reinogevers.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sages, Saints and Sinners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deep Walking for Body Mind and Soul⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Walking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony explore how internet culture, consumerism, and disincarnate “platforms” distort Orthodox teaching and tempt all of us to become unappointed theologians. Drawing on Metropolitan Saba, Thinking Orthodox, St. James 3, and St. John Climacus, they unpack why theology must remain ecclesial, relational, and local—discerned and bounded within the life of the parish and the wider Church. They conclude with a pastoral call for accountability in online ministry and for internet engagement that flows out of real parish life, gratitude for one's bishop and priest, and a deeper commitment to becoming saints together face to face.
