This isn't about shrinking your body — it's about coming home to it. Your body isn't the problem. Your relationship with your body — shaped by trauma, diet culture, and survival — is. As a kid, you likely learned that your size, shape, or weight (and the need to control them) became a way to earn safety, love, or approval. It's how you felt “good enough.” But this keeps our worth and feeling valuable attached to a metric, instead of it being an innate birthright. This is a huge part of why we want fast results – we're trying to hurry up so we can feel ‘good enough.' Keep listening as I explore how to untangle the nuanced relationship with our bodies (and food) in a healthy way that supports your mental and emotional health. Ready to Conquer the Craving Cycle?! It's time to decode the urge, untangle the pattern, and finally learn how to respond differently. This isn't about willpower.And it's not about “trying harder.” It's about understanding why a specific urge takes over — and learning how to meet that moment differently next time.

Tourism-dependent businesses in the central North Island town of Waimarino have faced hard times since November's fire in Tongariro National Park. The blaze, which burned through almost 3000 hectares, kept the popular Tongariro Crossing closed for over a week and was then followed by a smaller fire in December, as well as wet weather. Although February has so far proven kinder, many say a good dumping of winter snow is needed to get the area, and its tills, humming again. Jimmy Ellingham reports.
I remember being a young kid and singing these words in church: "Are you weak and heavy-laden? Burdened with a load of care?" As parents, there have been times when all of us have had to honestly answer "Yes". At other times, the "Yes" comes from dear friends who are locked into periods of unimaginable burden-bearing. Difficulty is to be expected as we are all sinners living in a broken world. If you take the time to read Hebrews 12 you will find words on sonship and the Lord's discipline. God disciplines those He loves. We are reminded that while we may be feeling crushed by the weight of our present burdens, God is present and at work. Remember the words of Hebrews 12:11 - "For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." Parents, remember that while you are parenting your children, God is parenting and forming you, especially during the hard times.

While circumstances shift and pressures mount, Christ offers rest for our souls and peace that guards our hearts and minds. If you're weary, anxious, or carrying burdens you weren't meant to hold alone, this message will remind you where true peace is found—not in perfect conditions, but in the presence of a victorious Savior.
The banner for social justice on many different issues continues to wave in our society. But how do believers stand up for truth without compromising their faith? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we gained insight into how to navigate these challenges from a woman who walked through this journey herself. She used her experience to teach us the difference between social justice and biblical justice, what modernism is and she stressed how important a grounded biblical worldview is to navigating the challenges of standing up for truth in the modern world. Once again we helped you update your prayer list for the greatest group of influencers in all our lives, the entertainment industry by sharing some exciting news including two Hollywood heavy hitters who have joined forces to create their own studio that will make films that honor those who serve and sacrifice in the military for our national safety and the latest on the WONDER projects. Then we turned to the onslaught of cold and snow that most of the country has or is continuing to endure and whether or not as some are claiming it is the result of manmade climate change. Our expert not only dispelled that idea but he also told us about how the sales of EV cars has significantly dropped and what le the U.S. to pull out of several climate change agreements with the United Nations. A husband-and-wife team who have many trials of suffering in their life and marriage joined us for a powerful conversation to help us understand the value in our times of suffering, how times of suffering help God’s people to better understand His nature and how to walk through challenging times in a way that honors Him most. We turned our attention to the invisible realm to learn more about spiritual warfare. Our guest used Paul’s framework to help us better understand the natural and supernatural parts of God’s creation. It is time to focus on discernment as we use God’s word as the bright light of truth and measure more of the confusing and misleading news of this week against it.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Life can feel overwhelmingly chaotic, and I've often found myself needing help to navigate through it. During these tumultuous times, I've learned that small, consistent habits are crucial. By embracing habits that are personal, seasonal, and flexible, I can help myself feel more grounded and less overwhelmed. Recently, my life has been filled with professional demands like editing a book and preparing for a conference, all while managing the complexities of family life. To cope, I've been playing the piano more often—it's a soothing escape that helps me reset my mind. I've also focused on maintaining strict boundaries with my time, like adhering to a rhythm schedule for work and home. Weekends are for unwinding with family, not for catching up on work tasks. By prioritizing rest and personal interests, I can show up as my best self, not in spite of challenges, but because of them.

On this episode of the Real Estate Investing School Podcast, Joe Jensen sits down with commercial real estate titan Ben Reinberg—founder and CEO of Alliance Consolidated Group of Companies. With more than 30 years of experience, thousands of transactions, and leadership over a 50-person national team, Ben breaks down how he built a true hard asset empire across office, industrial, retail, medical office, and multifamily. From raising his first $2M in his early twenties, to structuring complex commercial deals, to leading one of the nation's top medical office portfolios, Ben pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to succeed in commercial real estate—even if you're starting from zero. Ben also shares the insights behind his new book, Hard Assets and Hard Money for Hard Times, which teaches everyday people how to build, compound, and protect generational wealth. He dives into the steep learning curves of commercial deals, the value of investing with "smart money," how to choose the right niche in your local market, and why medical office assets are his number-one pick for long-term, recession-resistant wealth. From mindset and data protection to deal structure, team building, and avoiding costly mistakes like overleveraging—this episode is a masterclass for anyone wanting to elevate their game from residential to commercial.

As we wrap up the conversation on instincts, Christa brings you a powerful episode exploring how our three instincts—self-preservation, sexual, and social—can turn dark or animal-like when we're scared, threatened, or in pain in our marriages or world, and we talk about how to slow down, stay kind stay human, godly, and loving in hard or dystopic times. Though the episode is grounded and practical, Christa addresses cognitive heuristics and mental shortcuts humans can use to dehumanize the "other" including the Halo Effect as well as examines how each instinct goes dark, self-preservation leading to hoarding, sexual instinct leading to using people, and social instinct leading to outgrouping and tribalism—and offers practical ways to stay strong in faith. Drawing on CS Lewis's wisdom that evil must be unwound bit by bit, she calls listeners to not rush the stories of pain away or abandon friends who voted differently as you fight for justice - we're one human body, and we must rise together.

This part 1 of my five part series: When the World Feels Like Too Much. When the world feels overwhelming—personally or collectively—sleep is often the first thing to fall apart. In this episode, we begin a five-part series on how to care for yourself when life feels heavy, unstable, or unsafe. We start with sleep—not because it's easy, but because it's foundational. We'll explore why stress disrupts sleep so quickly, why ADHD brains are especially impacted by poor rest, and why trying harder to sleep often backfires. This episode offers a nervous-system-informed approach to rest that's realistic, flexible, and compassionate—especially during hard seasons. This is not about perfect sleep routines or fixing yourself. It's about protecting your capacity and giving your system enough rest to get through what you're living in—without losing yourself. ✨ Next up in the series: How to Move When Everything Feels Like Too Much —CHAPTERS— 00:00 Introduction: The Impact of Stress on Sleep 00:29 Series Overview: When the World Feels Like Too Much 01:58 Welcome to the Self Loved ADHD Woman's Way Podcast 02:44 Why Focus on Sleep First? 04:34 The Importance of Sleep Hygiene 20:39 Advanced Sleep Strategies 28:20 Dealing with Poor Sleep Nights 31:38 Conclusion and Next Episode Preview ✨ If you found this episode helpful… Please follow, subscribe, and share it with another ADHD woman who needs support!

In Part 2 of our message from James 1:1–18, we continue exploring what it means to endure when life gets hard. James reminds us that God uses the trials we face to develop the endurance we need—because following Jesus is a marathon, not a sprint.This sermon focuses on how endurance grows when our hearts are anchored in the right place: not in the absence of suffering, but in the outcome God is producing through it. We'll look at the difference between trials and temptation, why God is never the author of evil, and how humility helps us respond to hardship with faith instead of blame.Through the examples of Job, Paul, and Joseph, we're reminded that we can't see our circumstances rightly until we see God rightly—and that even what was meant for evil, God can use for good.In this message, we'll explore:✔ Why endurance requires preparation, not just perseverance✔ How to hold onto certainty in God's provision✔ Why temporary trials demand an eternal perspective✔ How humility protects us from blaming God in suffering✔ Why God's unchanging goodness is our anchor in hard seasons✔ How God works in the gap between today's problem and tomorrow's promiseIf you're walking through pain, confusion, loss, or waiting, this message will encourage you to keep going—because God is forming something in you that hardship can't destroy.

Hard times are unavoidable—but they are never meaningless.In this message from James 1:1–18, we begin a new teaching series through the book of James by addressing a question every believer eventually faces: How do we endure when life gets hard? Drawing from both Scripture and real-life stories, this sermon reminds us that God uses trials to produce endurance—and endurance to form maturity in us.James writes to believers who were scattered and suffering under persecution, yet he opens with a surprising command: “Consider it a great joy” when trials come. Not because pain is good—but because God is at work through it. Endurance, or grit, is essential not only for life but for spiritual growth. Following Jesus is a marathon, not a sprint.In this message, we explore how God develops endurance in us and why perspective and faith are critical when hardship comes. We also see how wisdom from God, eternal hope, and trust in His provision anchor us when circumstances feel overwhelming.✔ Why trials are inevitable—and purposeful✔ How endurance shapes spiritual maturity✔ Where to find wisdom when life feels confusing✔ Why faith and perspective matter in suffering✔ How eternal hope sustains us through painWhether you're walking through grief, uncertainty, loss, or opposition, this message offers biblical encouragement and practical hope rooted in God's promises.
In this powerful episode , we delve into the profound teachings of Matthew 24, exploring the themes of vigilance and deception. Discover how the adversary works from within, planting seeds of doubt and offense, and learn why it's crucial to stand firm in your faith. Join us as we uncover the importance of not taking the bait of offense and staying true to the path of righteousness. This episode is a call to action for believers to remain steadfast and vocal in their faith, even amidst trials and tribulations. Tune in and be inspired to live boldly for the Kingdom of God.

On this special Christmas holiday episode of the podcast, Chauncey DeVega reflects on this very surreal and challenging year and tries to find some mirth, merriment, positive energy and joy to refill his (and our) hope tanks. Chauncey taps into the joy of childhood nostalgia and a longing for a simpler time as he looks through store catalogues from the 1980s in search of his favorite Transformers and G.I. Joe toys, and then calculates how much they would cost in today's dollars. Chauncey soon realizes he likely would have been the parent telling the kids, "Hell no!" Disney, the WWE, and other entertainment companies have announced that they will be using AI programs to "assist" in their creative process. In the spirit of embracing the future, Chauncey DeVega asks an AI to write a Christmas-themed crossover mega-event movie featuring Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, James Gunn's version of Superman, Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, and Krampus. The results are "troubling" for what they suggest about the present and future of mass media in the 21st century and beyond. This year's Christmas and holiday season are a painful reminder that the collapse of American democracy in the Age of Trump is also an extreme moral crisis, touching almost every aspect of American society and life. To that point, Chauncey shares a recent news story about how ICE has enlisted "Santa Claus" — equipped with a red bulletproof vest and handcuffs — to assist in its mass deportation campaign.

In an era of political polarization, and fatigue from ongoing crises, education scholar Kari Grain argues hope is vital. It's not something you have, it's something you do. Grain says "critical hope" in action is an abiding belief that transformation is not just possible, but crucial. So how does water play into hope? The author explores how hope can come from three areas: teachers, critical thinking and biomimicry, the practice of observing how nature functions in order to solve human problems. Grain reimagines hope as something that can move like the four habits of water: bending, pooling in deep places, going underground, and persisting. In this way, hope is fluid enough to forge new pathways forward.Kari Grain is a professor at the University of British Columbia in the Faculty of Education, where she leads the Masters program in Adult Learning and Global Change Program. She delivered the University of Prince Edward Island's 2025 Shannon K Murray Lecture on Hope and the Academy.
