“Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:8–10 NLT) Very few people have ever been given a vision of Heaven. Imagine the impact such a vision would have on someone. It isn’t hard to envision a scenario in which such a privilege caused someone to become a little arrogant. Imagine sitting around with a group of people who were talking about where they went for vacation. “We went to Hawaii.” “We went to Tahiti.” “We went to Italy.” Can you picture the apostle Paul, sitting back, just waiting for the perfect opportunity to trump them all? “I went to Heaven.” “Heaven? Are you talking about Heavenly Valley, that ski resort near Tahoe?” “No, I’m talking about Heaven—the place of eternal reward.” “Uh huh. And what was it like?” “I can’t really explain it. But it was better than where you went.” But Paul didn’t get arrogant about his experience because God initiated a plan to keep him from being filled with pride. Paul described it this way: “So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud” (2 Corinthians 12:7 NLT). He doesn’t say what the thorn in his flesh was. All we know is that it was troublesome enough for Paul to pray to be rid of it. “Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:8–10 NLT). Often, we imagine that we’re at our best when we operate from a position of strength—bold, confident, unshakable, and impervious to trials and tribulations. We convince ourselves that we’re most effective after we’ve cleared the obstacles from our path and overcome our infirmities. God sees it a different way. He prefers that we operate from a position of weakness so that His strength is unmistakable. He wants us to rely on Him so that others can see us rely on Him so that they will rely on Him, too. That’s why He allowed hardship in Paul’s life. And that’s why He allows hardship in our lives. Hardship makes people usable in God’s kingdom, if we recognize that hardship for what it is.

When family life is hard, friendships feel distant, and self-doubt creeps in, it's easy to feel utterly alone — even as a person of faith. In this honest and tender episode, Vivian Bricker writes from her own season of struggle, reminding us that we don't have to pretend to be okay. The pressure many Christians feel to present a "perfect" life to the world is not from God — and our present difficulties are never a sign that He has turned His back on us. He is not cursing us. He is not teaching us a lesson. He is simply with us. Drawing from the brief but powerful book of Haggai, Vivian points to a message God spoke directly to His people in the middle of their rebuilding: "I am with you," declares the Lord. That same word is spoken over you today. Just as God was present with the Jews as they restored what had been broken, He is present with you as you rebuild whatever has been lost in your own life. You are never too far gone. You are never a lost cause. And you are never, ever alone. Today's Bible Verse "Then Haggai, the Lord's messenger, gave this message of the Lord to the people: 'I am with you,' declares the Lord." — Haggai 1:13 Ponder Today Your struggles are not a sign of God's disapproval. Hardship is not punishment. God does not work like karma — He loves you freely, and your difficult season is not evidence that He has turned away. Feelings are not facts. You may feel far from God, but feeling alone and being alone are two very different things. His presence is not dependent on your emotions. You don't have to pretend. The pressure to appear perfect before others is not from God. Bring your real, unfiltered self to Him — He already knows, and He is not going anywhere. God speaks the same word to you that He spoke through Haggai. In the middle of your rebuilding, in the middle of your mess, He declares: I am with you. No one is too far gone. Restoration and redemption are available to you in every season. All you have to do is go to Him in prayer and ask for His help. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, I praise You that You are always with me. Help me take this truth to heart and meditate on it always. There are times when I feel far from You — but I know that is a feeling, not a fact. I choose to rely on the truth of Your love, goodness, and hope rather than my own doubts. Whether times are good or hard, help me remember that You go before me through every high mountain and deep valley. You have been good to me, and all praise belongs to You. Amen.

In Nigeria today, more people are no longer borrowing to expand businesses or buy luxury items they are borrowing simply to survive. From food to rent, transportation to school fees, millions of Nigerians are increasingly relying on loans, credit and borrowing just to make it through the month. A recent report says only six per cent of Nigerians now feel financially secure, while many households remain trapped between rising costs and shrinking income. So, how did survival become this difficult for many Nigerians? And what does this say about the country's economic reality? Today on Nigeria Daily, we examine why more Nigerians are borrowing just to stay afloat.

Hey Heal Squad! Our friend Zachary Levi is back and honestly, this may be the most grounded and open we've ever heard him. He's a brand-new dad, he's building Wyldwood Studios from the ground up in Texas, and he's going deeper into his faith, healing, and purpose than ever before. Zach takes us all the way back to being three years old and feeling, deep in his soul, that he was put here to make people laugh and help others. From there, we get into the bigger conversation so many people are quietly having right now: Why does it feel so hard to know what's true anymore? Zach breaks down what he calls the two sides of finding truth: empathy and logic and why he believes we've lost the ability to really hear each other. But the heart of this episode is what happens when Zach opens up about his 2017 mental breakdown, the season where he didn't want to live and didn't understand why. He shares how therapy finally taught him something he'd never learned before: how to love himself. We talk about unresolved trauma, how emotional pain can actually live in the body, and why he now believes every hardship can become an invitation to heal, grow, and go deeper with God.And then he says something I honestly haven't stopped thinking about since we recorded this: that we are “infinitely valuable… and entirely unimportant.” Trust us… you're going to want to hear the way he explains that one. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You can't outrun unhealed trauma. It lives in the body. It makes you sick on every level — physical, emotional, mental, spiritual — and it keeps showing up until you stop saying "I got it" and finally sit with what's actually there. Every hardship is an invitation. The breakdowns, the breakups, the moments that bring you to your knees — Zach believes those aren't punishment. They're God asking you to come closer. You are infinitely valuable, and entirely unimportant. You matter more than you'll ever know, AND you don't have to carry it all alone. Your only job is to take the next step.

Some actors play powerful men. Others understand what power actually costs. On this episode of Still Here Hollywood, Steve Kmetko sits down with legendary actor Eric Braeden, the man behind Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless, a role he's defined for more than four decades. But this conversation goes far beyond daytime television. From growing up in post-war Germany, to arriving in America and confronting its contradictions, to working with icons like Marlon Brando and James Cameron, Eric shares a deeply personal and unfiltered look at the life experiences that shaped both the man and the character. He opens up about the brutal demands of soap operas, the psychology behind Victor Newman, the reality of Hollywood, and why acting, at its core, is about truth, discipline, and survival.

In This Episode Success is not determined by where you start—it is shaped by the systems you build and the choices you make along the way. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Kolaiah "Fuzzy" Jardine, co-founder of The HUI Real Estate Mastermind, about his powerful journey from adversity to building a scalable real estate business. Fuzzy shares how a shift in mindset during a difficult period of his life set him on a path toward entrepreneurship and long-term success. Adi and Fuzzy explore the early stages of rebuilding, where persistence, multiple jobs, and a strong "why" helped him regain stability. His introduction to real estate investing became a turning point, allowing him to move beyond trading time for money and begin building systems that generate ongoing income. The conversation highlights a critical systems principle: scalability requires structure. Fuzzy explains how documenting processes, creating repeatable workflows, and building the right team allowed his business to grow while operating independently. Today, his systems enable him to develop properties, manage rentals, and coach others—all without being involved in every detail.

What if everything you thought about raising confident kids was completely wrong?In this episode of the Success Formula Podcast, we sit down with King Randall, the 26-year-old founder of the X for Boys program, a 100% free, faith-based nonprofit that is doing what the school system, government programs, and even some parents have failed to do: turning boys into men.King started this program at just 19 years old, right out of his dining room, with 20 kids, zero government funding, and one powerful mission to make sure no young man ends up lost, imprisoned, or purposeless because nobody taught him the basics.In this powerful conversation, we break down why modern parenting is producing an entire generation of emotionally fragile, skill-less young men. King shares how he uses real-world scenarios, structured routines, controlled hardship, and the lost art of basic etiquette to build unshakeable character in boys as young as six. We also get into why single mothers need to stop doing it alone, how social media is not the villain most parents think it is, the difference between confidence and arrogance, and why giving your child everything they want is one of the most dangerous things you can do.If you are a parent, mentor, coach, or anyone who cares about the next generation of men, this episode will challenge you, inspire you, and give you a practical blueprint you can start using this week.King's three-step formula: Routine.

3. Survival and Hardship in New York's Five Points Famine immigrants endured the horrors of "coffin ships," where diseases like typhus and cholera claimed the lives of roughly ten percent of passengers. Upon arriving in New York with no formal inspection, many settled in the notorious Old Brewery tenement in Five Points. This squalid industrial building lacked basic ventilation and windows. Men like Bartholomew O'Donnell survived through grueling day labor, hauling heavy construction materials up rickety ladders. Despite these hardships, immigrants prioritized saving money in banks to protect their earnings from the high risks of fire and theft prevalent in crowded, lockless tenement housing. 31880 KILDARE

This week, we’ll hear from Rebecca St. James, a Grammy and Dove award-winning contemporary Christian music artist. When Rebecca’s family moved from Australia to the U.S. when Rebecca was a teen, they faced serious financial struggles—the kind that forced them to rely completely on each other and outside support for basic survival like food, transportation, and medical bills. This intense period of “making it work” became the bedrock of her career and is the focus of the film Unsung Hero. Next, we meet Zahriya Zachary, an artist and worship leader with Bethel Music who experienced a major pivot in her early twenties. She shares how she shifted from the pursuit of a traditional career to an unexpected music career. Her story explores the struggle of unlearning the need for perfection and performance, and the profound freedom found in simply showing up as yourself.

I think that they were very attentive to specialized giftings within the family and encouraged us to be unique.” - Rebecca St. James “I remember my parents being very available for just talking things through, and that’s something that I’m also trying to do with our kids, [is to be] available and present.” - Rebecca St. James “I think God’s design for the family is so beautiful, and I think when we can live that out privately in our lives, but then also if God allows us to to live that out in the public space too, there’s an undeniable loveliness to it.” - Rebecca St. James “I think something that I am currently unlearning is my performance being the thing that makes God stay, and even that makes other people stay. I’m really unlearning that because it can tend to be this driving force of, If I do good enough at this, if I can just be perfect at this, then God will just stay. The Lord is revealing to me, ‘I love you because I love because I love you.’” - Zahriya Zachary “I’ve had these moments throughout my life with God in the moments where I felt the most lost. He actually reveals to me a highlight reel of every place where I thought I was alone and every place where I thought He wasn’t. It’s actually given me strength to stay when it’s hard, because He enables me to remember.” - Zahriya Zachary “It was never up to us to reach for God’s presence or earn it, because He’s already done it all.” - Zahriya Zachary ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

We all have intense seasons of hardship. Why is that? Who is to blame? Sometimes the answer is that no one is to blame. Sometimes our hardship is simply a tool being used by God go grow us and to display His glory. Today Jon briefly shares from John 9 and also shares a piece of how God used hardship to change his life.

People receiving a benefit may not realise the impact a KiwiSaver hardship withdrawal could have on their entitlements. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to John Campbell.
Today on the podcast, I am talking with Jonathan Western, and this is a really special conversation leading into Boston Marathon weekend. Jonathan is a 2:46 marathoner who has truly built his running journey over time. He ran his first half marathon in 2012 and his first marathon in 2014, and then really found consistency around 2017 to 2018. Since then, he has fully embraced the sport. This will be his eighth consecutive Boston Marathon, and this year he is taking it to another level by running the Double Boston. He has completed 16 marathons and 21 ultras, and he is someone who clearly loves to challenge himself in big ways. We talk about his life as a runner, raising an active family alongside his wife Christine, who is also running Boston this year, and how running has become such a constant in his life. Jonathan also shares about a personal hardship he has walked through and how running has always been there for him through it. That thread really carries through this entire conversation and gives a deeper look into why he shows up the way he does. I love talking to everyday runners, and while Jonathan may not call himself elite, celebrating your 40th birthday with a 100-mile run definitely says otherwise. He brings so much perspective, resilience, and passion to the running community, and I'm really excited for you to hear his story. What we discussed: Double Boston challenge (running the course twice) Boston Marathon approach vs running for time vs experience Marathon PR (2:46) and race breakdown at Boston First marathon experience and early running journey Running with his wife and family life balance Jigger Johnson 100 attempt and embracing difficult races Road vs trail running and seasonal training approach Loss of his son Cooper and running through grief Mount to Coast partnership and Double Boston support setup Mindset: pursuing hard things and reframing failure Media mentioned Severance Foo Fighters Thank you to our sponsors: Mount to Coast is a performance footwear brand focused on supporting runners who push beyond traditional race formats, especially in the ultrarunning space. Rather than taking a standard approach to race weekend activations, the brand leaned into its identity by backing unique efforts like Double Boston, providing athletes with both gear and logistical support to take on unconventional challenges. Their C1 shoe is designed with long-distance comfort in mind, offering substantial cushioning that holds up over extended efforts on the road. The brand's approach reflects a commitment to endurance, creativity, and meeting runners where they are, whether that's chasing a personal best or taking on something entirely outside the norm. Previnex — I've been using their Muscle Health formula and I love that it combines creatine monohydrate with BCAAs and essential amino acids to support strength, recovery, and muscle maintenance. They just released a new citrus flavor that's really refreshing, and it's formulated to improve amino acid absorption and protein synthesis. I also take Previnex Gut & Greens every day and swear by it. Codes you can use: LINDSEYSUPERFOODS when Gut & Green is in cart; otherwise ANOTHER or LINDSEYSTRENGTH for Muscle Health at previnex.com.
Many believers wrestle with a quiet but important question: If I truly follow Christ, shouldn't life go better for me? It's a tension that often surfaces when life doesn't unfold as expected—when financial strain, illness, or hardship interrupts our plans. At the heart of that struggle is a deeper issue: how we understand God's promises and what we believe the Christian life is meant to produce. In today's conversation with John Cortines, Director of Partnership and Growth at the McClellan Foundation, we explored how the “prosperity gospel” shapes this conversation—and how Scripture offers a better, more faithful perspective. What Is the Prosperity Gospel? At its core, the prosperity gospel teaches that your spiritual standing can be measured by your circumstances—your health, your wealth, and your overall success. It suggests that if you have enough faith, say the right things, or give to the right causes, you can unlock God's blessings in tangible, immediate ways. But here's the problem: while this teaching begins with a partial truth—that God loves us and is actively involved in our lives—it stretches that truth beyond what Scripture actually promises. Instead of seeing blessings as gifts, it turns them into indicators of spiritual success. Blessings Are Real—But Not Guaranteed The Bible clearly affirms that God gives good gifts. We see provision, healing, and abundance throughout Scripture. But it never presents these as guarantees or as proof of God's favor. That distinction matters. When we experience abundance, we should respond with gratitude—not entitlement. And when we walk through hardship, we're not outside of God's care. Our ultimate security isn't found in changing circumstances—it's found in Christ and the eternal hope we have in Him. When Giving Becomes Manipulation One of the most dangerous expressions of prosperity teaching shows up in how it approaches generosity. Instead of being an act of worship, giving can become transactional: Give this amount, and you'll receive a blessing. Your financial hardship may be because you haven't given enough. But Scripture points us in a very different direction. 2 Corinthians 9:7 reminds us: “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” True generosity flows from gratitude—not pressure or fear. A Distorted View of God At its deepest level, the prosperity gospel shifts our focus away from Christ and onto ourselves. It subtly replaces grace with performance: Instead of trusting in Christ's finished work, we begin trusting in what we do. Instead of receiving from God, we try to earn from Him. Historically, this mirrors ancient systems where people offered sacrifices to secure favor or blessing. The message becomes: Do the right things, and you'll get the right results. But the gospel says something entirely different: Christ has already secured what we could never earn. What Happens When Hardship Comes? This is where the consequences become painfully clear. When someone embraces a prosperity-centered view and then faces loss—whether financial, physical, or relational—they're often left with confusion and guilt: Did I not have enough faith? Did I not give enough? Is God punishing me? But Jesus speaks plainly in John 16:33: “In this world you will have trouble.” Hardship is not evidence of failure. It is part of life in a fallen world—and often a place where God deepens our faith. Scripture gives us a far more balanced and honest picture of the Christian life. Abraham and David experienced seasons of great wealth. The apostles faced poverty, persecution, and even death. The early church endured hardship. And Jesus Himself—though rich—became poor for our sake (2 Corinthians 8:9). Faithfulness is not measured by comfort. It is measured by trust. Finding Joy in the Midst of Trials So how do we respond when life is hard? John Cortines offers a helpful framework using the word JOY: J — Jesus went first. He understands suffering from the inside. He experienced loss, injustice, and pain. O — Orient your heart. Bring your fears and anxieties to God. Anchor your hope beyond this life. Y — Yes to His purposes. Ask boldly for provision and healing—but trust God's wisdom in the outcome. As James 1:2 reminds us: “Consider it pure joy… whenever you face trials of many kinds.” Joy isn't found in escaping hardship—it's found in trusting Christ through it. If you're walking through a difficult season, hear this clearly: Your suffering does not mean God has abandoned you. The cross is the center of our faith—a place where God's love was revealed through suffering, not the absence of it. Often, it's in the hardest moments that God's presence becomes most real. From Pressure to Privilege Finally, for those in seasons of abundance, Scripture offers a beautiful invitation. Generosity is not driven by guilt or obligation—it's rooted in the example of Jesus. He gave everything for us. And when we give—whether out of little or much—we participate in His work in the world. It's not “I have to give.” It's “I get to be part of what God is doing.” The prosperity gospel measures God's love by our circumstances. But Scripture calls us to something deeper: to anchor our hope in Christ—trusting Him in both abundance and hardship. Because following Jesus doesn't guarantee a life of ease, but it does promise something far greater: His presence, His purpose, and an eternal hope that cannot be shaken.

Talking about money in families is hard. Talking about legacy is even harder. In this conversation with host Syama Bunten, Amy Castoro gets into why so many wealth transfers go sideways. Not because of bad legal structures or poor planning, but because families never learn to talk to each other. About what they actually need. About what they're afraid of. About what the money means to them and what they want it to mean for the next generation. When those conversations don't happen, conflict fills the gap and the wealth that was supposed to bring a family together ends up pulling it apart. Amy talks about the pressure that lands on the next generation, the damage that lingers after family conflict over money, and why women are increasingly at the center of these conversations as decision-makers, caregivers, and keepers of family culture. But before all of that, she shares where her perspective actually comes from. She grew up watching her mother stretch every dollar, lead with generosity, and hold things together through sheer resourcefulness. That upbringing gave her a particular lens on what wealth actually means and what it costs families who treat it as a financial problem instead of a human one. It's that backstory that explains how she became CEO of The Williams Group and why she approaches this work the way she does. This episode is part of a larger conversation Syama is building at Wealth Catalyst, salons and summits where women talk candidly about money, legacy, and what it actually takes to get it right.
