The Jealous King and the Actions of the Person in Pursuit of GodWhen Jealousy rises in the heart of a person there is no imagination as to how far that jealousy can cause a person to go. King Saul raged with Jealousy and destroyed himself, his family, and the kingdom. When a person pursues God with their whole heart there is not way that our imagination can dream of how far God could take them. We get to choose the heart we want as people of God. Choose wisely for it could cause your personal destruction or godly direction.

Venice is a city that moves on water.Every day, thousands of residents, workers, students and visitors step onto a vaporetto without always thinking about what happens behind that simple act of getting from one stop to another.But in Venice, public transport is not a road, a bus lane or an underground line. It is the lagoon. It is the Grand Canal. It is tides, fog, wind, night shifts, crowded landing stages, sudden changes in weather, wave motion, and the constant responsibility of moving people safely through one of the most delicate cities in the world.In this episode of Venice Talks, Monica speaks with Lorenzo Boscolo, President of the Associazione Capitani Navigazione Lagunare, and Agostino Benvegnù, Vice President of the association, to explore the world of Venice's public water transport commanders.Together, they discuss what it really means to command a vessel in the lagoon, the difference between a captain and a commander, the training and skills required for this profession, and the unique challenges of keeping Venice moving 24 hours a day.This conversation also looks at some of the most important issues facing the city today: wave motion, overtourism, respect for public transport, safety on board, and the need to understand that a vaporetto is not just a scenic ride. It is an essential service for the people who live and work in Venice.Through their words, we discover Venice from a different point of view: not from a postcard, not from a tourist map, but from the cabin of those who navigate its waters every day.Key NotesIn this episode we talk about:What the Associazione Capitani Navigazione Lagunare is and why it matters in Venice todayThe difference between a captain and a commanderThe path and training needed to become a commander in Venice's public water transport systemWhy navigating a public transport vessel in Venice requires far more than simply knowing how to steer a boatThe most delicate areas of the lagoon and the city from a navigation point of viewWhy Venice's public transport system is unlike buses, metros or trams in any other cityWhat it means to be responsible for a vessel full of passengers in a city where the “road” is made of waterThe beauty and the hidden difficulties of life as a commanderThe importance of remembering that vaporetti are an essential service for residents, workers and studentsWhat it means to guarantee public transport 24 hours a day, through fog, rain, high tides, events and tourist peaksWhy wave motion is such a serious issue for VeniceThe impact of wave motion on safety, boats, landing stages, embankments and the city itselfHow overtourism affects the daily work of commandersThe future of this profession and whether young people are interested in becoming part of itWhich tourist behaviours make the service more difficult, and which ones would help everyoneListen and SubscribeThis episode is an invitation to look at Venice differently.The next time you step onto a vaporetto, you may notice the city in another way: the movement of the water, the precision of an arrival, the patience behind a crowded stop, the responsibility carried by those who keep Venice moving every day.Listen to the full episode of Venice Talks and subscribe to the podcast to discover more stories from the people, places and voices that make Venice extraordinary.Because Venice is not only a city to visit.It is a city to understand.

A Study of Romans 12: 4-8

For much of modern history, body fat was viewed simply as stored energy, a passive reserve that expanded or shrank depending on diet and activity. Today, that understanding has shifted dramatically. Research led by scholars such as Prof. Jamie Rausch of Indiana University reveals that adipose tissue is not merely a storage site but a dynamic, hormone-producing system that influences nearly every aspect of human health. When this system becomes dysregulated, it can quietly set the stage for chronic diseases that affect millions worldwide.

In Part 2 of 2, what did the Holy Family (Jesus, Mary and Joseph) talk about and do but was not recorded in the Bible? How do we know this? Answer: from tradition and from the mystics such as Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich, Ven. Mary of Agreda, St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Elizabeth of Schonau. Join Fr. Chris as he summarizes what these mystics have said about what happened within the Holy Family during their time in Egypt, during their hidden life in Nazareth, during the death of St. Joseph, and during the public ministry of Jesus. Interesting stories are given (such as what the first words of Jesus were when he spoke) and what they did at home.

The Fire That Remains Life in the Spirit After the Collapse of the Religious Self Week IV — The Heart That Bears the World Love, Intercession, and the Hidden Life in the Spirit ⸻ Opening Invocation O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings and Giver of life, Come and dwell in us, Cleanse us from every impurity, And save our souls, O Good One. ⸻ I. The Return — But Nothing Is the Same At the beginning, the Spirit leads a man inward. Into exposure. Into poverty. Into silence. And it can seem as though the path is one of withdrawal. A leaving behind. A diminishing. But this is not the end. Because the same Spirit who leads a man into the desert of his own heart leads him back again. 1 Not outward in the old way. Not into activity rooted in self. But into a different kind of presence. The man returns to the world. But he does not return as he was. ⸻ II. The End of Living for Oneself Something has been broken. Quietly. Deeply. The constant reference to self. The need to interpret everything in relation to oneself. The subtle movement of: How does this affect me? What does this mean for me? Where do I stand? These begin to loosen. And with this a space opens. A freedom. Where others can begin to exist without being filtered through the self. This is the beginning of love. Not as an emotion. 2 Not as an effort. But as a way of being. “Love seeketh not her own.” (1 Corinthians 13:5) And for the first time this is not an ideal. It is something that begins to happen. ⸻ III. The Heart Enlarged by the Spirit The heart changes. Not outwardly. Not visibly. But in capacity. It begins to hold more. Not by effort. But by grace. You begin to feel: The weight of others. The pain of others. The confusion of others. Not in a way that overwhelms. But in a way that includes. The boundaries of the self soften. And the heart becomes... spacious. 3 “My heart is enlarged.” (Psalm 118/119) This is not sentimentality. It is not emotionalism. It is participation. A sharing in something greater than yourself. ⸻ IV. Intercession That Is Not Chosen Prayer changes again. Not in method. But in direction. Before, you struggled to pray. Then prayer began to live within you. Now something else happens: Others begin to appear in your prayer. Not because you decide to pray for them. But because they are given to you. A face. A name. A burden. And it remains. Quietly. Persistently. 4 You carry them. Sometimes without words. Sometimes without understanding. And this is intercession. Not as an activity. But as a participation in the love of Christ. “I could wish that myself were accursed for my brethren...” (Romans 9:3) A love that does not calculate. A love that bears. ⸻ V. The Hidden Nature of This Life And yet, outwardly, very little may change. You may still live in the same place. Do the same tasks. Speak with the same people. There is no need to appear different. No need to manifest anything. Because this life is hidden. Deep within. And this hiddenness is essential. Because the moment it becomes something seen something recognized something affirmed 5 the old self begins to stir. So the Spirit preserves this life in obscurity. In simplicity. In what appears to be ordinariness. “Your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3) And this hiddenness is protection. ⸻ VI. Love Without Self-Consciousness There is a further purification. Even love becomes purified. Because at first we can become aware of loving. We notice it. We reflect on it. We take some subtle satisfaction in it. But here, even this begins to fall away. Love becomes unselfconscious. It acts without referring back to itself. It gives without knowing that it gives. It responds without constructing meaning. 6 And this is freedom. Because the self is no longer at the center even of what is good. ⸻ VII. The Bearing of Suffering As the heart expands so does its capacity to suffer. Not in a destructive way. But in a participatory way. You begin to feel more. To see more. To carry more. And yet there is no resistance. Because this suffering is no longer meaningless. It is no longer isolated. It is held within something greater. Within the life of Christ. “Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2) This is not something you choose. It is something you are drawn into. ⸻ 7 VIII. The Absence of Claims At this point something remarkable appears. Or rather something disappears. The need to claim anything. You no longer need to: Define your state. Explain your path. Assert your identity. Even inwardly. You do not need to know where you are. You do not need to measure. You do not need to conclude. You simply live. Before God. With others. And this simplicity is a great freedom. ⸻ IX. The Life That Becomes Prayer Everything begins to unify. Prayer is no longer separate from life. Life is no longer separate from prayer. 8 Silence speaks. Speech can remain rooted in silence. Action flows from stillness. There is less division. Less fragmentation. More wholeness. And this is not something you maintain. It is something given. Sustained quietly. By the Spirit. “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20) Not as an idea. But as a mystery slowly becoming real. ⸻ X. Closing Exhortation Do not seek this. Do not attempt to become this. Do not imitate what has been described. Remain faithful to what has been given to you. Remain in poverty. Remain in prayer. Remain in truth. And the Spirit will do His work. 9 Quietly. Hidden. Beyond your understanding. And what will emerge will not be something you have made. But a life. A heart. Capable of bearing others. Because it is held within Christ. ⸻ Closing Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Thou who didst bear the sins of the world in Thy Body, grant us the grace to bear one another in love. Enlarge our hearts. Purify our love. Deliver us from ourselves. And grant that, hidden in Thee, we may become a place where others are held in Thy mercy. For Thou art the Lover of mankind. Amen. 10

Because when you love someone… you learn how to make things make sense.You learn how to soften the hard truths.You learn how to be patient beyond what is healthy.You learn how to hold onto potential like it's a promise.And I did that.

In 1978, beloved TV star Bob Crane was found dead inside his Scottsdale apartment, leaving behind a crime scene as shocking as it was confusing. What initially seemed like a straightforward case quickly unraveled into a web of fame, secrets, and questionable relationships. As investigators dug deeper, inconsistencies and missing pieces made it difficult to determine exactly what happened that night. This episode explores the rise and fall of a television icon and the mystery that still surrounds his death.  Sources:  Margaritoff, Marco, “Inside The Gruesome Murder Of Bob Crane, The ‘Hogan's Heroes' Star Who Was Beat To Death In 1978”, All Thats Interesting, April 2, 2023, https://allthatsinteresting.com/bob-crane-death, Accessed March 30th, 2026  Staff Contributor, “The Final Truth Behind Bob Crane's Murder: The Hollywood Scandal That Refused to Stay Buried” The Eyota, November 25, 2025, https://www.theeyota.com/2025/11/the-final-truth-behind-bob-cranes-murder-the-hollywood-scandal-that-refused-to-stay-buried.html, Accessed March 30th, 2026  Gross, Ed, “Bob Crane's Son Opens Up About the Star's Tragic Death, Hidden Life and What Made Him a Great Dad (EXCLUSIVE)”, Woman's World, August 7, 2025, https://www.womansworld.com/entertainment/classic-tv/bob-crane-son-reveals-what-happened-to-dad, Accessed March 30th, 2026 

I read The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben and it totally changed my perspective on these incredible plants that surround us! Trees communicate with each other, live in families and can be thousands of years old. We've been living in harmony with them for millions of years and it's not only until recently that we understood how complex they are. My Moonshot proposal is that we need to design cities around trees. They provide incredible passive cooling, and numerous health benefits like clean air, happier people, more energy efficient cities and so much more! Not to mention our cities of the future would look insanely cool! Imagine Austin, Texas with more trees! It's already too hot there, this is the perfect solution!Hidden Life of Trees book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/177...My X:   / gfilche  HyperChange Patreon :)   / hyperchange

It's a very Catholic movie. Had a good impression on my life. Saw it when I was 6. Greg – Nefarious outstanding movie. Certain groups played it off as a horror film. It's good vs. evil. Some have avoided it because it deals with evil. The guy who did it also did God is Not Dead. One priest said every priest should see it for giving advice for confession. Mark - Calvary...Irish Film. 10 years old. About a priest who really lays down life for his flock. (22:47) Break 1 John - Of Gods and Men...French film. About monks serving souls in north Africa. Based on a true story. Barb - The Shack...about what it's like to be God and sacrifice your son. It shows God sacrificed his son as this guy sacrificed his daughter. Bring your tissues. (29:50) Nels - The Last Supper....newly released film. Emphasis on Judas in that movie. Miriam - 7th Heaven...1930's. Star5ring Jimmy Stewart. Unlikely love story ever told. Mention of God in the movie. He's an atheist and then things happen. My favorite movie. (35:43) Break 2 Roland - Journey to Bethlehem....nativity story. Silence...the story of the Japanese Martyrs. Ignition Martyrs (39:16) Matt - Beckett, and the Cardinal. Excommunication scene in Beckett is most powerful scene. The Cardinal being more recent. Pope Benedict was advisor for this movie. Came out when V2 was written. Patrick shares some movie recommendation from listeners who write in. Roxanne - The Most Reluctant Convert...untold story of CS Lewis. Very good. (43:02) Jean - King of Kings...1925. It's a silent movie and beautiful. Eric - The Scarlet and the Black. Based off the Scarlet Pimpernel. Hides thousands of Jews during WWII.

Fr. Mike explores the mystery of Jesus' infancy and hidden life. We first take a look at Jesus' Baptism, circumcision, and the Epiphany. Fr. Mike discusses that Jesus' circumcision shows us that salvation comes from the Jews. The Epiphany shows us that salvation does not stop there, it extends to all of us. Later, we examine Jesus' hidden life. Fr. Mike emphasizes the importance of Jesus' obedience to not just his Father in Heaven, but to his earthly father and mother as well, and how we can imitate that obedience.

Justine Toh is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Public Christianity (CPX) and a writer whose work appears regularly in The Guardian. In this conversation, Will and Justine explore the crisis of attention in our digital age — what we lose when our attention is fragmented, what it costs to reclaim it, and if the concept of 'a hidden life' might help us. This conversation doesn't offer simple answers, but genuine wrestling with how to live consciously within the systems we're part of.Articles referenced:Justine Toh, "As the year begins, don't look away from the headlines, look better and deeper" — The GuardianJustine Toh, "A hidden life in the era of social media can still change history, as the story of Jesus shows" — The GuardianJustine Toh, "The world is burning.

Singer-songwriter Jon Guerra joins Mark Labberton to explore devotional songwriting, public faith, and the tension between the kingdom of Jesus and American cultural power. Through music and reflection, Guerra considers how art can hold grief, courage, and hope together in turbulent times. "Love has a million disguises, but winning is simply not one." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Guerra reflects on songwriting as prayer, the call to love enemies, and artistic courage in moments of cultural crisis. Together they discuss devotional music, George Herbert's influence, the Beatitudes and American culture, citizenship and immigration imagery, increasing polarization, suffering and grace, and the vocation of Christian artists. Episode Highlights "Love has a million disguises, but winning is simply not one." "When Jesus says to love your enemies… he is giving us a means of survival." "This is not sentimentality… the only way to resist becoming what one hates." "My songwriting… would be a means of coming into contact with the invisible God." "Beauty puts us in contact with invisible things." About Jon Guerra Jon Guerra is a singer-songwriter based in Austin, Texas, known for devotional music that blends poetry, theology, and contemporary cultural reflection.

This sermon steps into Matthew 6 and takes a look at how Jesus wants us to examine our motives in order to live a life that communes with God and leads to the transformation of our hearts.

This episode explores the biblical concept of the “secret place,” emphasizing intentional solitude and prayer as the primary arena where identity as sons and daughters of God is formed, drawing from Matthew 6 and Psalms to show that true spiritual transformation does not happen in public, but in hidden communion with the Father. The speaker contrasts modern culture's fixation on noise, self‑promotion, emotional validation, and constant stimulation with God's invitation to silence, obedience, and submission, teaching that the secret place is not for self‑care or emotional relief, but for dying to self and becoming like Christ. Through personal stories, Scripture, historical Christian voices, and psychological research, the episode argues that freedom from fear, clarity of calling, and spiritual authority are birthed through faithful, disciplined time alone with God, where trust is built, idols are dismantled, and God's will takes precedence over personal feelings or ambition

This episode emphasizes that true wholeness in Christ comes through surrender, not self‑preservation, using the image of a grain of wheat that must die to produce fruit. Contrasting modern culture's focus on comfort, visibility, and control, the message calls listeners to embrace hiddenness, weakness, and obedience as the place where God brings real transformation, teaching that growth often comes not through changed circumstances but through trusting God's grace to form us as we give our lives fully to Him.

In this powerful episode, Nathan sits down with Forge Speaker Michaela Wickham to explore the hidden years of Joshua—years in which God shaped him long before he ever led Israel into the Promised Land. From battles Moses fought on the hilltop to the quiet moments in the Tent of Meeting, Joshua learned intimacy with God before he ever stepped into leadership.This conversation uncovers why intimacy is the foundation of obedience, how God forms laborers long before the spotlight, and why being “strong and courageous” starts in secret.

When Your Team's Anxiety Is Actually the AnswerSeason 2 continues looking sideways — exploring frameworks that stretch Adaptive Leadership into new terrain.In this episode, Michael Koehler sits down with Dr. Candice Crawford-Zakian, a psychoanalytic psychologist and lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Candice's work focuses on systems psychodynamics — a field that helps us see the hidden life of groups.The conversation explores what lies beneath the surface of organizational life: the unconscious patterns, projections, and anxieties that shape what happens in teams and organizations long before anyone names them.What's fascinating is that this work sits in the background of Adaptive Leadership itself. Systems psychodynamics was one of the practices that informed Ron Heifetz's early teaching — and it remains a place where many practitioners go to sharpen their ability to consult with groups in real time.This episode feels like stepping behind the curtain of Adaptive Leadership — into the terrain where authority, anxiety, and imagination meet.What You'll Explore in This Episode:What systems psychodynamics is — and why it mattersHow this field helps us understand the hidden, unconscious social elements in groups that are highly impactful but intangible. The dynamics that shape whether work actually gets done.When anxiety is data, not disruptionWhy the distress in a group — the tension, reactivity, and discomfort — isn't something to manage away, but vital information about what the group actually needs. Learning to read anxiety as a signal rather than a problem to solve.Group relations conferencesA unique learning experience where the content is the live experience of the group itself. No talks, no papers — just studying what emerges in real time as people navigate authority, roles, and group dynamics.Consulting without memory, intent, or desireA practice from Wilfred Bion about meeting groups with spaciousness and openness — not inserting your agenda or expectations, but listening for what the group actually needs in the moment.The intersection with Adaptive LeadershipHow systems psychodynamics deepens the practice of reading the "heat map" — understanding what the anxiety in a group is actually about, which tells you what the group needs. Anxiety isn't random noise; it's a compass pointing toward the adaptive challenge.Why this work matters nowThe origins of systems psychodynamics in studying authoritarian regimes and the Holocaust — and why these insights are resources for navigating the rise of authoritarianism today.The role of the consultant as instrumentHow practitioners open themselves as channels through which hidden, unconscious dynamics can surface and be named. When the group triggers you publicly, that's not about you — it's telling you how high the distress is in the system.Quotes from This Episode:"We're carrying all this stuff, and my stuff dances with your stuff dances with the third person, and it creates this whole thing in and of itself."— Dr. Candice Crawford-Zakian"These unseen forces are born from our individual histories, assumptions, and feelings, which merge to create a powerful collective dynamic that is highly impactful, but difficult to see."— Dr. Candice Crawford-Zakian"Everything is data. So if this group has found a way to trigger me in a way that actually makes me publicly reactive, that tells me that's how high the distress is. It is not about me."— Dr. Candice Crawford-Zakian"To lead effectively, we must learn to see these hidden dynamics not as personal attacks, but as vital data...

James, Thomas, and Nathan Douglas conclude their journey through Terrence Malick's filmography (thus far) with a discussion of the film that introduced him to many Catholics: A Hidden Life, about the Austrian martyr Blessed Franz Jägerstätter, who was killed for refusing to swear loyalty to Hitler. Coming after Malick's avant-garde phase of the Weightless Trilogy, A Hidden Life is a more conventional narrative but retains much of the stylistic and formal development of his past few films.
