Just a couple hundred meters from our church office, a missile struck an apartment building.It happened around 7:00 in the morning. Thankfully, I was still at home drinking my coffee when I heard the explosion. A few hours later, as I drove to church, I was met with a large traffic jam because the missile had hit the very road I travel every day.When I arrived at the office, I walked down the street toward the scene. I could see the top of the apartment building where the missile had struck. Three people had been killed.The top of the building that was hitLiving in Ukraine, these things affect us.We've now lived through more than four years of war. Missile strikes, drones, air raid sirens, and destruction have become part of everyday life. As I reflected on that morning, one thought kept weighing on my mind: the danger of a hardened heart.The Danger of a Hardened HeartOne of the effects of living in a war-torn country is that prolonged exposure to war, death, pain, and violence slowly hardens the heart. I've experienced this myself. The reality is that you cannot live through years of destruction and become emotionally overwhelmed every time another missile strikes. We develop ways to cope. But as Christians, we must be careful that those coping mechanisms do not become callousness. That's exactly what the enemy wants.The same thing happens spiritually. When sin surrounds us every day, we gradually become accustomed to it. What once grieved us no longer does. Suffering can have the same effect.I still remember the first morning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022. The explosions. The fear. The uncertainty. But then came the second day, the third day, the first month—and eventually the years. The temptation is to become numb. In fact, after this most recent missile strike, I found myself almost more frustrated by the traffic jam than by the explosion itself. I'm not saying that's a good thing. I'm saying that's the temptation.So how do we guard our hearts?Jesus Didn't Shy Away from Pain and SorrowThe answer begins by looking at Jesus. Isaiah describes the coming Messiah this way:He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. - Isaiah 53:3One of the great encouragements of the gospel is that Jesus never kept His distance from a broken world. He didn't avoid suffering. He walked straight into it. When we look at a world filled with war, sickness, injustice, and death, we realize we cannot fix it all. But Jesus entered into humanity's suffering and understands it better than anyone.Jesus Never Dismissed the Pain of OthersOne of the clearest examples is found in John 11. When Jesus came to the tomb of Lazarus, He found Mary, Martha, and the others weeping.When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. - John 11:33Jesus knew He was about to raise Lazarus from the dead. Yet He didn't rush past their sorrow. He entered into it. He never dismissed their grief simply because He knew how the story would end.Jesus Had Deep Compassion for PeopleThroughout the Gospels, compassion is one of the defining marks of Jesus' ministry. He never treated people's pain as an interruption or inconvenience. He entered into their sorrow and walked alongside them. That's a great comfort for every believer. Whatever grief we carry, Jesus understands. He has experienced suffering Himself, and our Savior is never distant from the pain of His people.Jesus Was Indignant at InjusticeJesus' response to suffering was not only compassion. When a man with leprosy came begging to be healed, Mark writes:Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man... - Mark 1:41Jesus was angered by the effects of sin and the suffering it had brought into the world.bLiving through this war, I've felt that myself. Watching innocent Ukrainians suffer naturally stirs anger toward the evil that caused it. There is a place for righteous indignation—but we must be careful what we do with it.Jesus Did Not Stay Dwelling in GriefOne of the things I love about the Gospels is that Jesus never remained in sorrow. He entered fully into the suffering of others, yet He didn't allow Himself to marinate in grief. Again and again, we see Him entrusting Himself to His Father. Jesus understood that grief had its proper place, but it was never meant to become His dwelling place. That's an example we desperately need to follow.Jesus Made Time to Be with the FatherThroughout the Gospels we repeatedly find Jesus withdrawing to lonely places to pray. Again and again, He stepped away from the crowds to spend time with His Father.When we live in the middle of continual trauma, we need those same rhythms.Personally, I've found the book of Psalms to be one of the greatest helps. More than any trauma manual, the Psalms give voice to our grief while continually directing our hearts back to God.Jesus Carried Joy in the Midst of SufferingJesus was a man of sorrows, but He was also a man of joy. On the night before the cross, He prayed:I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. - John 17:13Think about that. Jesus spoke of joy as He walked toward the cross. That is one of the beautiful tensions of the Christian life. We experience grief, pain, and loss, yet at the same time we possess a joy that suffering cannot take away because it is rooted in Christ.Following Jesus in a World of SufferingOne of the unique realities of ministry in Ukraine is that suffering can produce two very different responses. God often uses pain to soften hearts and draw people to Himself. But prolonged suffering can also harden hearts.As followers of Christ, our calling is not to offer shallow answers. It is to follow the example of Jesus—to enter into the pain of others with compassion, to grieve over injustice, to remain close to the Father, and to hold fast to the joy that only He can give.May God guard our hearts from becoming hardened. And may He help us reflect the heart of Christ in a world that desperately needs the hope of the gospel.

Jo Dee Messina has a long career in the music industry: number one hits, platinum and gold records, many awards. She's a country music icon. Jo Dee just released Bridges, her first new album in 12 years and those were 12 years filled with some tough times. Her marriage ended, leaving her as a single mom of two boys, both her parents died, and Jo Dee battled cancer, completed treatment, and is cancer free. She's reluctant to talk about those events but is very happy to talk about her relationship with her Christian faith, which she says has been a constant source of comfort and guidance ever since she turned to it amid her struggles. Is leaning on religion for guidance really all that different from the secular approach of identifying your own wise mind? And if, as Jo Dee believes, everything that will happen is written and planned by a higher power, why do tragedies and pain exist? Jo Dee's been thinking about that and has some very recent insights. All this, plus Jo Dee Messina belting out a couple of songs. Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit jimhightower.substack.comGreetings, Lowdowners! When I was down visiting with Hightower in May, I asked him a question that I've always wanted to know the answer to, but never put directly to him: Why did he decide to run for office? Before he became Agriculture Commissioner, he had been a legislative aide to Sen. Ralph Yarborough in Washington, the founder and co-director of the Agribusiness Accountability Project (which produced Hard Tomatoes, Hard Times), then a journalist and editor at the Texas Observer. What brought on the desire to become an elected official? And why this office?His answer took us through an adventure of what activism can look like when you take the outside inside, and you run a real grassroots campaign based on the values of the people you're hoping to represent.Transcript:Well, for me, I was born a populist. I didn't know it. And I was taught about populism.The essential political essence of populism is that too few people control too much of the money and power, and they use that control against the rest of us to get more money and power for themselves. So that's the great fight of American politics, in the big scale, but also in the very local scale.

In this special snapshot edition of Yahweh's Money, host Shay Cook opens up the show's library to bring listeners a focused, meaningful excerpt. This episode explores the honest, unspoken realities of navigating business debt, running a company lean, and how traditional financial rules dramatically shift when you step into entrepreneurship.Shay is joined by her sister, Montoya Silver, to examine the hidden formulas of business cash flow and why standard personal debt-payoff strategies don't always translate to the corporate world. They also share a candid dialogue about the trial-and-error of business deductions, the constant fluctuation of corporate revenue, and how strategic checking account setups, paired with a leap of faith, can help eliminate credit card debt.Featured Insight:"I have my debt, and I'm paying the minimum, but I'm not trying to pay it for 30 years. I'm trying to pay this off so that I could scale my business so that I can acquire even more debt so that I can scale my business. So it's just...it doesn't translate like that." — Montoya SilverListen to the full episode here: www.crusaders4change.org/ym-ep-82Send us Fan Mail

I listened to every album by Laughing Hyenas. Formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan by John Brannon (of hardcore punk band Negative Approach) and Larissa Strickland (of L-Seven) in 1984, Laughing Hyenas were a noise rock band who fused elements of garage rock, punk, blues, and Birthday Party insanity. Their struggles with heroin led to chaos as the years went on, including Brannon vomiting on Drew Barrymore right before a show.  Intro 00:00 Laughing Hyenas Origins 1:23 Merry Go Round EP 7:32 You Can't Pray a Lie 11:53 Life of Crime 18:04 Crawl EP 23:00 Hard Times 26:05 Breakup/Puking on Drew Barrymore 31:33 Aftermath 34:26 Outro 36:25 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Top 77 Album Recommendations: https://every-album-ever.kit.com/0ee90183d0   Join the Patreon, it rules: https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Mike's music: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   Tom Osman's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple, Website Podcast on Spotify, YouTube     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: You Can't Pray a Lie (1989) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Hard Times (1995) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums discussed this episode...

In this episode, Mike & Ben break down their Prime Day results, current Amazon earnings, and what's been working as they continue leaning harder into product selection, storefront audits, & quality over quantity.Ben shares how he hit a record $1,800 day, including $1,500 from Creator Connections, despite only posting 3 videos this month. Mike also shares how a recent storefront audit helped double results, why he's averaging around $450 a day, & how he's now tracking toward what could be a personal-best month. The conversation covers strong offsite performance, creator rewards progress, & why regular audits of storefronts, links, & ASINs can make a much bigger difference than most creators realize.Mike & Ben also talk about preparing for the next Prime Day & Q4, thinking seasonally 2 to 3 months ahead, staying consistent with uploads, & why many creators miss opportunities simply because they are not planning far enough in advance.The second half of the episode shifts into a much more personal conversation. Ben opens up about separation, divorce, & depression, while Mike shares some of what he has been dealing with physically and mentally through medical issues, withdrawal from pain medication, and past personal loss. The conversation is honest, vulnerable, & centered around pushing forward through dark seasons, giving yourself grace, leaning on community, & doing what you can with the capacity you have each day.If you are an Amazon Influencer, content creator, or entrepreneur trying to improve your results while also navigating real life behind the scenes, this episode is both a practical strategy conversation & a reminder that you do not have to carry hard seasons alone.____________________JOIN THE COMMUNITYIf you are looking for deeper strategy, accountability, & honest conversations with other serious content creators, the Creator's Leverage Guild was built for exactly thatLearn more and join here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creator's Leverage Guild⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________CHECK OUT OUR 2 NEW EBOOKS THAT JUST LAUNCHED!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The AIP Master Guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Stop guessing your way through AIP.

"Serving The Lord Through Hard Times" by Mission Ebenezer Family Church

"Serving The Lord Through Hard Times" by Mission Ebenezer Family Church

Born without arms, Daniel Ritchie, Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention, shares that life can be really hard, and circumstances will often disappoint. But Romans 15:13 points us to a God who is not just a giver of hope but the very source of it. Christian hope is not fragile or dependent on outcomes. It is grounded in the unshakeable reality that Jesus reigns and His story ends in victory. Joy is not a feeling tied to circumstances but a choice available to every believer. Peace comes through prayer and intentional practice, not through getting life to cooperate. God is not looking for polished, perfect people to use. He is looking for ordinary people who trust an extraordinary God and let His hope overflow into the world around them.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A Bible can feel like a private book until you read how it was treated as a public necessity. We start with Psalm 119, where God's words are “sweeter than honey” and steady enough to light a path, then we press that question into real life: what happens to a person, a marriage, or a nation when Scripture stops being the standard and becomes background noise?We move through Ephesians 5:22-33 and talk plainly about Christian marriage roles, sacrificial love, respect, and why popular marriage advice collapses when it contradicts God's design. Then we read John 18 and sit with the moment Jesus is arrested: He doesn't hide, He doesn't posture, and He doesn't let chaos dictate His obedience. Alongside Proverbs 16, the thread is clear: we can make plans, but the Lord determines our steps, so faith has to be more than talk.From there, we turn to American history and civic courage, quoting Thomas Paine's American Crisis and his warning about “summer soldiers” and “sunshine patriots.” We also dig into the Aitken Bible of 1782 and the documented ways early U.S. Congress supported Bible access during Revolutionary War shortages. If you care about Christian patriotism, the Bible in early America, biblical worldview, and how faith shapes public life, this conversation connects the dots in a way that's hard to ignore.Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who loves Scripture and history, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

This month, we're taking a little break from new episodes and digging into our (big) archive to reshare some of our past faves. Today's replay originally aired in 2022, but if anything, it feels MORE relevant now than it did then: how do you keep showing up and promoting your business when the news is heavy. How do you send out a sales email or post about your upcoming mini sessions when those things seem trivial at best compared to what's happening in the world?Here's what I'm covering:  Why remembering your "why" isn't just a motivational exercise - it's the actual calculus that makes continuing to show up make sense when it doesn't feel right  The permission structure most photographers need to hear - both to take a beat when you need one, AND to come back, even if things still don't feel "normal"  Why consistency is the thing that earns you the right to keep marketing even when timing feels off  How to acknowledge the elephant in the room without making it the only subject of conversationBalancing the need to book work with our genuine sensitivity can be tricky... no one wants to be an insensitive jerk, but we all have bills to pay, too. Today's episode gives you a strategy for how to stick to your marketing plan while remaining tactful and tuned in to the bigger picture.LINKS:Looking to make consistent marketing easier?

A major housing and retail development proposal in Virginia threatens to pave over the birthplace of one of America's most influential historical leader. Paramount Chief Powhatan is the notable late-1500s leader who united local tribes into what became known as the Powhatan Confederacy to face the first waves of English settlers. He was the being father of Matoaka, also known as Pocahontas. The nonprofit organization Preservation Virginia placed the site on its 2026 list of most endangered places. Tribal leaders are actively working to halt the development project, saying it would be “an immeasurable loss to tribal communities and the Commonwealth of Virginia.” We’ll hear from tribal leaders about Powhatan’s birthplace and his enduring legacy.

As the nation commemorates the 100th anniversary of historic Route 66, some historians, scholars, and curators are offering a different perspective of the famed Mother Road. An exhibition just opened at the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City, Okla. that gives the public a view of the people, culture, and influence arising from the tribal land the road cuts through. A Diné culture educator is giving live presentations of research into the detrimental effects on Native people that the highway brought with it. And the American Indigenous Tourism Association's Route 66 campaign encourages visitors to look beyond the neon and 1950s pop culture that is synonymous with Route 66, and take time to learn about the ways it transformed Native Americans connection to the rest of the country for the first time. GUESTS Shawn Price (Diné), historian and director of the Dinétah Navajo Cultural Program Gail Chehak (Klamath Tribe), community and partner relations director for the American Indigenous Tourism Association Adrienne Lalli Hills (Wyandotte Nation), learning and community engagement director for the First Americans Museum Danyelle Means (Oglala Lakota), executive director of the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture Break 1 Music: Brown Eyed Handsome Man (song) The Wingate Valley Boys (artist) Navajoland U.S.A.

A rule change in South Dakota opened a door that allowed a sizable increase in the number of eligible foster parents. It is a boon for places like the Oglala Sioux Reservation that declared an emergency in foster child placement as recently as three years ago. The Minnesota Supreme Court turned back another challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) as the legal justifications for such claims dwindle. And we’ll learn about a Pascua Yaqui tribal secretary who has opened her home to more than two dozen foster children over the years. GUESTS Nancy Marie Spears (Cherokee), Indigenous Children and Families reporter for The Imprint Susan Schrader (Oglala Lakota), director of the Child Protection Services and ICWA program for the Oglala Sioux Tribe, kinship caregiver, and an elder Toni Giago (Oglala Lakota), family developer for Oglala Sioux Tribe Child Protection Services Anna Evans (Chickasaw and Cherokee), mother Break 1 Music: Children's Honoring Song (song) Red Hawk Medicine Drum (artist) New Beginnings (album) Break 2 Music: Trick Song (song) Battle River (artist) Hard Times (album)

Before a joint legal project between the Native American Rights Fund and the National Congress of American Indians started 25 years ago, tribes were losing 80% of their cases at the U.S. Supreme Court. Now, they are winning 70% of those cases. That's from an analysis just put out by the Tribal Supreme Court Project in conjunction with its 25th anniversary. We'll look at some of those wins and losses and what they add up to a quarter century later. We'll also get updates on two important lawsuits in Oklahoma: a class action lawsuit claims the federal government owes as many as 10,000 Native land owners compensation for oil and gas development — and the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled against a novel jurisdiction agreement between the Muscogee Nation and the city of Tulsa, Okla. GUESTS Hazel James (Chickasaw), plaintiff in Tyson v. United States Peggy Immohotichey (Chickasaw), plaintiff in Tyson v. United States Melody McCoy (Cherokee), senior staff attorney for the Native American Rights Fund Jason Salsman (Muscogee), press secretary for the Muscogee Nation Jeffrey Nelson, partner of mctlaw, manager of the Indian Law Practice Group Break 1 Music: Hatchet (song) Blaine Bailey (artist) Indian Country (album) Break 2 Music: Trick Song (song) Battle River (artist) Hard Times (album)

The State of Alaska is moving forward with a program to kill brown bears across a 40,000-square-mile swath of land in southwest Alaska. The plan to shoot bears from helicopters aims to improve declining numbers of the Mulchatna Caribou Herd. Several local tribes and the Alaska Federation of Natives support the plan. Caribou are a subsistence food source. The herd peaked at over 200,000 in the 1990s, but plummeted to 12,000 by 2022. Conservationists oppose the bear control measures, arguing it lacks scientific evidence that it achieves what officials say it goes. We’ll explore the complexities of predator management in Alaska.
