The unknown can be a scary place. It's natural to want to be in control and know the next step in just about every situation. Being confused with so many things in life, whether it be with your career, in your sexuality, with mental health...The unknown can cause so much stress, weighing you down, if you don't eventually learn to be okay with it. Kevin Molloy, 3x college dropout, a former client at a residential treatment program, and a recovering alcoholic/addict. You could say that Kevin has had his fair share of confusing battles in his life. Instead of wishing for anything different, Kevin is happy for those experiences because they taught him to see the world in a different light and take advantage of what's been given to him. In fact, he's learned so much that he now leads others through similar battles he once faced. Learning to come to terms with the unknown has brought Kevin to the life he never really believed he'd reach.On this episode of Success is Subjective, Kevin joins Joanna to share his journey with what felt like a life of never ending self destruction, to a life of true healing. He shares the crash and burn cycle he experienced throughout school, substance abuse and mental health, that never seemed to end until he was placed on a 200 acre farm in Arizona. Listen in for insight on how Kevin comes to find out that the one thing he was avoiding for years and years, turned out to be the one thing he needed the most, and where he would find his gift to the world.What You Will LearnKevin's childhood experience with constantly moving from state to stateHow successful Kevin's parents were and the impact that had on himHow important school was to the familyThe high expectations that were placed on Kevin from a young ageWhen Kevin stopped getting straight A's in schoolThe escalation that occured in Kevin's later years of high schoolThe devastation that came with applying for collegesWhat the transition into college was likeWhat brought Kevin back to ArizonaThe unhealthy cycle Kevin had in collegeWhen Kevin finally reached out to familyThe mental health spiral Kevin would experience over and over againThe last time Kevin withdrew from collegeWhen Kevin started to finally prioritize his well beingThe decision that changed everything for Kevin What life was like at Spring Lake RanchHow Kevin's view of college shifted after recoveryWhat Kevin has learned from his heartachesWhat brough Kevin back to Spring LakeThe people Kevin now impactsHow the one thing that hurt Kevin the most is now one of the most important aspects of his lifeFinding comfort in not knowing everything The importance of having a good community around youConnect with Kevin MolloyCall Admissions line 24hrs a day at Spring Lake Ranch Admissions Line at 802-772-8350 Spring Lake RanchKevin Molloy on LinkedInEmail kevinm@springlakeranch.orgConnect with Joanna Lilley  Lilley ConsultingLilley Consulting on Instagram Lilley Consulting on Facebook Sponsored by: www.ParentTrainers.comEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com

https://youtu.be/es05W72lzv4 Watch Jesus Move Matt 8:1-17 2 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”There's a few parts of this story that I find interesting- One- there were mutitudes following him, but only one came out of the crowd to be healed and he worshipped himNow if you don't know anything about leprosy- this was a debilitating condition. It would create open sores, scabs and lesions on a person. They would bleed and be filled with pus. They might lose hands, fingers or feet and then only get around by crawling. A complete outcastIn bible times- it was thought to be highly contagious- so many people avoided these types and because of the lack of healthcare- the priests were the one who determined if the person who had or was exposed to leprosy was able to be be in society or if they needed to be quarantined.You have to put yourself in this mans situation- an outcast- labeled -quarantined- unable to take part in society- and he comes out the crowd- and Goes to Jesus and says “If you are willing” This was a man of faith. A man who was surrounded by other people, but had a need and humbled himself and put himself before the one he knew could heal himHow many relationships were broken. How many people distanced themselves from himBut he goes “If you you are willing” if you can do it. I want to be healed. Now I don't know anything about this guy. If he was Jew or a gentile. I don't know. But the word of God was there during that time. Maybe he went to synagogue. Maybe he had faithMaybe Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.Those are faith scriptures! Those are healing scriptures! And then Jesus tells him ‘go and show the priest' a few reasons- 1 Jesus wanted to honor the law of God in regards to leprosy- he wasn't anti-law he came to fulfill it- so he sends him to the priest as was required by the law. 2 He wanted the priests and religious leaders to see that this man was healed because healing was a promise of the arrival of the messiah.  Isaiah 35:5-6 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert.This healing is yet another proof of Jesus ability to heal the sick and his messiahshipAnd why was he healed? Because Jesus can heal- and he was humble enough to askHe could have stayed in his condition- he could have stayed with the crowd- lived in his painBut he walked in humbleness and faith and believed! Psalm 41:3 The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will [a]sustain him on his sickbed. What does it mean to you?What do you need Jesus to do for you in your life and what haven't you seen happen because you refuse to leave the crowd and bow before Jesus and say “If you are willing” and see what he does!We live in a different time- we don't walk around in groups and follow itinerant preachers claiming to be messiah. We know the truth- we know who Jesus is- we just lack humblenessNow some would say courage- but I think we're overrun with courage- we need humbleness we need to learn how to bow the knee and go before the Lord and put it in his hands- not control itProverbs 22:4 By humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches and honor and life.Are you humble- do you fear the lord? Do you see him as your source and healer? Or are you on your own doing it your way on your terms? God wants you to come to him and trust himPsalm 103:2-3 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,All of them! I believe God is a healer- I believe that he can and he will heal all disease- see the problem is that nowadays people don't ...

Many in our culture believe that there’s more than one pathway to God. Isn’t the sheer number and variety of world religions proof of this after all?In this event audio, Scott Stein discusses how people more often adopt this belief because they’ve heard it so often, as opposed to having really thought it through. A way to effectively respond in our witness, therefore, is by using good questions to appeal to their reason.Scott exploresThe importance of appealing to reason and biblical support for this approachWhat the truth about God is actually rooted in and why this supersedes what we might choose to believe about himHow different world religions understand God and what this tells us about the idea of pluralismQuestions we can ask people to help them think through their assumptions, so that intellectual roadblocks to the message of the gospel can be removed Walk away with some respectful and practical talking points for the next time you encounter the “all paths lead to God” objection to the gospel.To watch the video and get related resources, visit the blog post: | https://preparedtoanswer.org/all-religions-lead-to-god-responseSupport the show (https://preparedtoanswer.org/donate/)

The author of the book- The Last Casino begins our show by explaining what it was like growing up in NY right after WWII. Ralph takes about an incident as a young kid fishing that shook him and led to him seeing a movie in a way you more than likely have not. We hear a great story about Ralph being a shoe salesman that led to get some inside tips on horse betting that at first was very lucrative. At age of 19, he left NY for LA and ended up meeting several movie stars and becoming friends with Lee Marvin. In 1958, Ralph drove thru Las Vegas and basically never left. His first experience is a must listen as he meets up with two French showgirls at the El Rancho Casino. Ralph talks about meeting and his relationships with Elvis, Chuck Norris, and Colonel Tom Parker. (All great stuff). Did he know when went to work at the Dunes Casino that it was run by the mob and did he ever see anyone skimming money? Why the job of working in the baccarat was wanted by many in the casino industry? After a few developments at this position his tire was slashed and what he found in the trunk of his car!

Have you ever wondered what is one of the greatest influences on your ability to trust yourself and others? In episode 32, we talk to Jim Farm about different attachment styles that form when we are young, and how they continue to influence every relationship that we have in our adulthood. Jim describes the four attachment styles: avoidant, anxious, disorganized, and secure. These styles continue throughout our life, unless we intentionally change them. Jim explains how an insecure attachment can inhibit our ability to be vulnerable. This impacts our relationship with others and even things, which can lead to addiction. He also shares that trauma has an impact on our attachment bonds. Towards the end, Jim shares that no matter what attachment style we developed when we were young, we can learn how to be safe and accessible individuals in our adult life.

Sermon Discussion Questions 1) What we believe reveals a lot about us. What are some popular beliefs that reflect well on us in our current cultural climate? What are some unpopular beliefs that don't reflect so well? 2) A.W. Tozer famously wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” More specifically, what we think about Christ as the pre-existent Son incarnated for us and for our salvation is the most important thing about us. What comes into your mind when you think about the Word who was made flesh to make us children of God? 3) Many times, in response to a text of Scripture, we ask: so what? The "so what?” of John 1:1-18 seems to be not only that we believe, but that we might see the glory of Christ (1:14). To adore and stand in awe of Him… How does this beautiful Word as the full self-expression of God lead you into deeper worship of God?

One of the central truths we affirmation as God’s people is that the transformation in ourlives does not result from our wisdom, or strength, or talent, or insight. It is from God’sHoly Spirit. He is the One who teaches us, leads us, transforms us, and empowers us todo God’s work. But many of us don’t know much about this Holy Spirit. Who is He? Howshould I relate to Him? How can I cooperate better with the work He is doing in andthrough my life? Let’s talk about it this Sunday, as we discuss A New Fire!   But we, who have had the veil removed that kept us from seeing clearly, are seeing, like it was in a mirror the glory of the Lord, and ourselves being transformed into that same image from one glory to a glory from the Lord, by the Spirit.     II Corinthians 3:18

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are forever etched in American history. Julius worked for the United States government and was given access to top-secret military plans for jets and nuclear weapons. What no-one knew is Julius was also a communist sympathizer and Russian spy. At a time when the United States was the only country on earth to possess nuclear weapons, he shared the United States nuclear secrets with Russia and started the arms race. As a result of betraying his country, both Julius and Ethel were executed. Do you ever feel like the Rosenbergs? Have you betrayed someone? Have you betrayed God and broken your promises to Him, turned you back on Him and been unfaithful to Him? How does Jesus treat those who betray Him? Join us as we learn how Jesus handles betrayers like you and me.

Have you ever wondered if you lived during the time when Jesus walked the earth if you would have followed Him? How could we ever know if given that chance? Since the Holy Spirit is now the one who was "sent" to earth and is now "teaching what Jesus taught" it seems we too have the opportunity to follow Jesus by being filled and led by the Spirit. Without the Spirit, all is but man-made religion. Learn more about this vital connection between following Jesus and following the Spirit!

The way this guy can recall scripture always blows my mind. Curtis Zackery, or CZ as most know him, shares about a time he was utterly exhausted all in the name of doing work for God and the journey he went on to discover what true rest for our souls can actually look like. In this episode, we discuss: How exhaustion is a man-made problem, with a God-created solution How the message of rest is woven throughout the entire Bible How God cares more about your ability to connect with Him, than your ability to do good works for Him How to get to a place where our works is an overflow of our connection to God, not from our own strength How to discover and remove our personal barriers to intimacy with God And so much more Scripture  mentioned: Genesis 2:2-3 Exodus 31:17 Exodus 20:8 Hebrews 12:1-2 Psalm 13 Matt 11:28-30 Resources mentioned: Soul Rest by Curtis Zackery The Pause App More about CZ My theme song and ad music is by my amazing friend, Shaylee Simeone.

Barry Lee is an Illustrator, Muralist & Storyteller based in Atlanta, Georgia. His work is very color and whimsical and the images are vehicles for meaningful stories that encourage a moment of mindfulness and extended awareness. In this episode, Barry talks about whose imagination is making this moment possible for him, making holistic approaches more accessible and less able-ist, and he shares the story about the moment when he stepped into his own and really claimed his identity as a queer disabled person and realized he had to become the representation he wanted to see. Barry also shares about the relationship between boundaries and vulnerability and why it's important to reflect upon our own behavior more so than it is to judge other people's behavior. WE DISCUSS/Whose imagination is making this moment possible for himHow his work centers the message of accessibility with a “spoonful of sugar”Why it's important to take the time to understand people's work and the context How his approach to social media has adjustedMaking holistic concepts more accessibleHow his process is rooted in intuition + meditationHow media has taught us to pity, fear and misunderstand disabilityWhy the representation we consume and create mattersThe story and show that helped him step into his own and take up space as the representation he wanted to seeLearning to hold boundaries when people feel entitled to knowing everything about youTaking the time to reflect upon our own behavior when we judge other people's If you enjoy this episode, Support the podcast on Patreon + check out:Episode 48: Vitamin Sun in Leo / Mary Grace AllerdiceEpisode 47: Step into Your Ancestral Work / Felicia RuizEpisode 13: w/ Andrea GlikLINKS / Get FREE monthly prompts for the current astrologyMary Grace's IGMore info on New Moon in Leo: Remote Group Reiki SessionDisclosure: documentaryCrip Camp: documentary/ Barry Lee's IGBarry Lee's websiteJoin us for a free class on Taking Care : Pillars for Creation, Circularity + Support — tools to help you design your life with more support and care built in, especially during difficult times.

There are opportunities to pause during the message to reflect on Travis’ questions or discuss with friends and/or family. To continue those conversations or to use those questions in your own personal reflections this week, here they are again: What difference does your faith make to the way you see, experience and face hardships in your life? How have you seen God work through a past hardship in your life: to deepen a work of transformation in you? to bring you closer to Him? How might God be using the hard edges of this season to bring about renewal and transformation in your life and faith?

Pastor Lore Switzer speaks on some current questions in her heart and mind: how do I witness to the "ends of the earth"? How is the Kingdom of Heaven near - isn't it some place out there? And if Christ is in me, how do I make room for Him? How does Christ live in me? Christ is the anointing that is in you, the hope of glory - where Heaven and earth meet, that is what you witness and observe. What if the invitation is to get really good to paying attention to that inner voice of guidance - and the voice sounds different for each of us. We have two systems of governance or sources of energy represented in the garden of Eden - one represented in the Tree of Life and other in the Tree of Separation. Your ability to choose is your number one superpower - without this power of choice there would be no freedom.

How do we know when God is opening a door or providing us an opportunity to serve Him? How do we know when an opportunity is from God? What can we expect when we step out in obedience and go "through the open door"? In his closing words to the Corinthian Church, the Apostle Paul gives us some insight into how he determines when an opportunity to minister or serve is from God and what we can expect by "walking through that door". From 1st Corinthians 16:5-12.

Her passion and mission are to equip women to "live with less of the things that are getting in the way of who Christ is calling them to be", and that is what she is sharing about on the show today. What We Chat about in Today's Episode: ~The reality that God works in the everyday little moments and that Jesus' teachings centered around day-to-day analogies ~What Chelsey means by "living with less of the things that are getting in the way of who Christ is calling you to be" and what led to this being her overarching message to women ~A bit of Chelsey's testimony of going from all-out rebellion to faith in the Lord and walking with Him ~How the lies of the self-help culture do not coincide with John's message in the Word or the hope of the gospel itself ~The crucial importance of knowing the Word for ourselves, rather than merely relying on what our pastors tell us ~Ways for busy mamas to make time to be in the Word ~Battling feelings of unworthiness with the truths and implications of the gospel ~The implications of the woman at the well's story in John 4 ~Areas in Chelsey's life where discontentment has reared its ugly head; how to find joy in the midst of it ~Discontentment as a foundation for so many other sins ~Discontentment in the online realm when it comes to platform and comparison and competition over follower size ~The reality that Romans 1 shows that all our sins are in the same list - the folly that thinking there is a hierarchy of sins and how realizing there isn't keeps us humble towards others and their sin ~Honoring God in the small moments, with the small followings, or the small ministry ~The serious reality of what we are missing out on when we are so busy wishing for larger platforms ~And more!

How do the Israelites respond to God speaking to them the Ten Commandments from the top of Mount Sinai? How does God expect us to worship Him? How does God expect us to honor and support ourselves and our neighbors? These are all questions that begin to be answered in these chapters!!

We've never walked this way before.This motto has shaped the leadership of the Metro District for months. But the trial and transition we're moving through because of the COVID-19 pandemic puts the idea in a whole new light.As we journey through this season, how can we adapt and discover new ways to walk with God? How can challenges and changes throughout our lives help us freshly see God at work and recognize the new ways He's leading us to walk with Him?How can leaning into God during these seasons help us not only endure them, but grow through them? What new ways has God lead us personally and collectively during this difficult season?How can trials help us to be pilgrims and exiles in this world, rather than being situated here? How can it sharpen our focus on the kingdom of God and grow? How can we be purposeful to discover God in this trial rather than passively trying to get past it?

Peter Watt's big canvas Australian historicals have garnered a popular following far beyond the shores of his homeland. And that's how Peter - a man of action who's been described as “the Australian Wilbur Smith” - likes it, because he's always had a primary aim of entertaining readers and elevating Aussie stories to international notice. Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and today Peter talks about living his dream life – volunteer fire fighting for six months of the year and writing his new historical series in the other six . Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: Why he's got the ideal lifeHow Wallarie became a star in GermanyThe little known history that excites himHow his passion for Aussie history has inspired othersThe writers he admires the mostWhat he'd do differently next time: (you'll be surprised!) Website: http://www.peterwatt.com Facebook:  (Fans of Peter Watt books - Public group) https://www.facebook.com/groups/60777773968/  What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny: But now, here's Peter. .  Hello there Peter and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us. How Peter got started as an author Peter:  Hello Jenny and 'Kia Ora' to all my New Zealand readers. (Ed note: Kia Ora is a Maori greeting of welcome.) Peter Watt: Author and volunteer fire fighter Jenny:  That's fantastic, and you do have a lot of New Zealand readers.  We'll get on to that.  But beginning at the beginning, I always like to ask this question although it's maybe a little clichéd – was there a “Once Upon a Time” moment when you decided that you wanted to write fiction?  And if so, what was the catalyst for it? Peter:  Yes, well I've looked at this question many times and I think I was aged 7 sitting on a tractor …. driving round and round in circles, and of course in those days there were no cabins, you just sucked in the diesel and sucked up the dust, and I thought to myself, I'm going to start creating stories in my head so I don't go mad.  It started there, Jenny. Jenny:  But it took you a long time then to get round to doing it. Peter:  Yes, you know, we make the mistake of letting life get in the way and not devoting ourselves to what we really want to do.  I was about 50 when I commenced writing “Cry of the Curlew” (Book One in the Frontier series) and from there it's been history, with all the other books following. Cry of the Curlew: #1 in the Frontier series Jenny:  Did you always know it would be historical fiction that you would want to write? Peter:  Yes, most definitely.  I was influenced by James A. Michener, Leon Uris and many of those other American writers who tended to write with the historical background. I always thought that our part of the world, Australia and New Zealand, had got very little exposure in literature, so I devoted myself to that.  Jenny:  I know you've said that actually you probably have been responsible for a little bit of a tourist boom drawing people to Australia, having become interested in the Australian stories, so you've been successful at that. Peter:  Yes, it's nice when I receive emails from American readers who say, you know we never thought about coming to Australia until we read one of your books.  And I would sometimes meet them at the airport and give them a bit of a guided tour. Peter's 12-book Aussie family saga  Jenny:  Fantastic!  What a lovely thing.  You've led a remarkably adventurous life and we'll get onto that, but your series – you've got a 12 books Frontier series which is a very big family drama, in fact it follows the rivalry between two families and now you've started a new series, The Queen's Colonial.  There have been a few stand alones and I think a Papua New Guinea trilogy in the middle there somewhere, but let's talk about the latest book,
