The 10 Commandments E12 — The common summary of the 9th Commandment is “Do not lie,” a generic prohibition against all kinds of fibs. But the commandment actually reads “Do not bear false witness,” drawing attention to a very specific kind of lying in a communal, legal setting. Many of the other commandments are more general. So why does the 9th Commandment zoom in on truth telling in public, legal settings? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the 9th Commandment, discovering its underlying value of upholding truth and justice in defense of the most vulnerable in society.

Today Lauren Bowerman is chatting with singer-songwriter Jess Ray about how God uses the difficulties of life and even our doubts to invite us closer to him. This conversation is deeply honest and rich with hope, and we pray that amidst the difficult seasons, doubts, or questions, you maintain it meets you in your story, nudges you to honestly seek the Lord, and presses you closer to the God who comes near to us in Jesus.

What this episode is about Most salespeople are pointed at targets without being taught to think about them. That gap — between knowing who to call and understanding why it matters — is what Peter Cleary and Tom Sterns set out to close with their book Graphic Sales: How to Build a Prospecting Playbook. The book is unusual. It teaches through illustrated comic strips drawn from real sales disasters, using the Aesop's Fables principle: story first, lesson second. The goal isn't to lecture. It's to help salespeople recognise themselves, laugh at the madness, and do the work better. What Marcus, Peter, and Tom cover Ideal Customer Profile as a foundation — not a filter. The ICP chapter opens the book because everything else depends on it. ICP isn't just demographic targeting. It's understanding the four to six data attributes that signal your solution is genuinely right for a specific buyer — and then thinking critically about what those signals mean in context. Why AI won't solve poor prospecting judgement. Tom shares a cautionary story: he built an AI-assisted prospecting tool for a team, fed it the right signals, and watched conversion rates fall. The problem wasn't the data. It was that automating the research broke the reps' critical thinking. They stopped trusting the information because they hadn't processed it themselves. They started dialling without thinking. Conversion rates recovered only when the reps were given time to verify and reason about the signals themselves. Pre-call planning is a non-negotiable. Hundreds of touchpoints go into booking a meeting. Showing up without reviewing the notes, researching the company, and forming a hypothesis is a dereliction of the role — not just poor practice. The post-call debrief most organisations never do. Standardised post-call analysis is almost universally absent. Marcus describes his red-teaming process: everyone hears the call, debriefs individually, and lessons feed directly into the next pre-call plan. It's how losses become assets rather than embarrassments. Multi-threading vs single-contact selling. SDRs are frequently incentivised to book a meeting with one person and move on. The result is account executives walking into rooms they don't understand, recapping conversations the buyer has already had. Tom and Peter describe pod structures where SDRs and AEs share long-term account ownership — so the knowledge doesn't evaporate at handoff. Meeting buyers where they actually are. Marcus introduces a staged buying journey framework — from centre of dissatisfaction through passive and active looking, to deciding — and maps this against persona data. A buyer who started a new role four weeks ago is in a different conversation than one who looks like they're planning their next move. Timing, relevance, and personal value determine whether a rep gets championed internally. Honesty, pipeline integrity, and what managers actually owe their organisations. Tom shares a pipeline audit story where redefining stage criteria caused the pipeline to drop by two-thirds — and the leadership committee was relieved. Peter and Marcus discuss the cultural cost of managers who manage upwards rather than telling the truth to the people who need to act on it. Key quotes from the episode Marcus: "Haste is different from speed. Most people prospect with haste." Tom: "I don't even care about your product in the first week of onboarding. We're going to focus entirely on your buyer's world." Marcus: "Buyers don't hate being sold to. They hate being sold to badly. And more often than not, the problem isn't laziness or stupidity — it's lack of self-awareness." About the book Graphic Sales: How to Build a Prospecting Playbook by Peter Cleary and Tom Sterns.

The show examines what commercial dysfunction actually looks like from the inside — and what honest, buyer-centred selling requires.

The Power Of Synergy with Gabrielle Cardona Synchronize to Synergize: Gabrielle Cardona on Personality, Cooperation, and Better Relationships Gabrielle Cardona Opens The Power of Synergy In this episode of The Power of Synergy, host Gabrielle Cardona introduces herself as a relationship coach who began as a life coach more than 20 years ago. She explains that her work eventually centered on relationships because people most often seek help understanding how to connect, cooperate, and improve the quality of their interactions. The episode focuses on what Gabrielle calls synergy: the energy created when people come together and either improve or diminish one another's lives. Honesty, Identity, and the Impact We Have on Others Gabrielle begins by asking listeners to consider whether they make other people's lives better by being who they truly are. She recalls a lesson from her father about honesty, saying that lying to strangers costs opportunities, lying to friends and family damages connection, and lying to oneself leaves a person with no one. Her point is that people must know themselves clearly before they can create healthy synergy with others. When someone understands their strengths, weaknesses, pleasures, and struggles, they give others a real opportunity to cooperate with them. Synergy as Exponential Power A major teaching in the episode is Gabrielle's use of numbers to explain synergy. She says people do not merely add to one another or multiply one another; they can empower one another exponentially. She gives examples such as a “two” and a “nine,” or a “three” and a “seven,” showing how the order of support, leadership, and facilitation can dramatically change the outcome. Her larger message is that people who may feel small or limited on their own can become far more powerful when paired with the right healthy people in the right roles. Principles of Human Energy Gabrielle reviews three principles of human and social energy. First, there is no neutral energy: people are either positive or negative. Second, there is no inertia: people are moving toward someone, away from someone, or with someone. Third, power requires accountability: people must accept responsibility for the impact of their choices and actions. These principles frame the rest of the episode, especially her argument that indifference is not neutral because saying “I don't care” can harm the people who need connection. The Art of AIM: Appreciation, Respect, and Trust Gabrielle introduces what she calls the art of AIM, which stands for appreciation, respect, and trust. These correspond to appreciating people's abilities, respecting their intentions, and trusting their motives. She teaches that people can synchronize more effectively when they recognize what others are good at, honor what matters to them, and trust why they are trying to act. This allows people to cooperate without constantly comparing, competing, undermining, or judging one another. Synchronizing Through Centering Using stories from childhood ballet classes, Gabrielle explains the importance of being centered before trying to move with others. Her ballet teacher emphasized staying centered rather than merely balancing, because dancers needed to know where their weight and alignment were before they could perform with a group. Gabrielle applies this to relationships by saying people must become stable and aware within themselves before joining with others. When someone gets out of sync, they may need to step aside, re-center, and return in a healthier state. Personality, Functions, and Different Strengths Gabrielle then discusses personality profiles, including her own experience identifying as an INTP. She explains dominant, auxiliary, tertiary, and inferior functions, saying that some activities are easy and pleasurable, while others are difficult, unpleasant, or weak. In relationships, teams, families, and practical situations, people should identify who is naturally strong at what and let each person contribute accordingly. If one person's inferior function is another person's dominant function, the healthier solution is cooperation rather than criticism. Sensing, Intuition, Thinking, and Feeling The episode includes a condensed explanation of four basic personality activities: sensing, intuition, thinking, and feeling. Gabrielle describes sensing as engagement with the physical environment, intuition as inner perception and connection-making, thinking as logical and objective decision-making, and feeling as attention to human needs and personal happiness. She stresses that different situations require different functions, and successful synchronization depends on knowing who is best equipped to handle each part of the situation. Everyday Cooperation and Family Relationships Gabrielle gives practical examples, such as preparing for a wedding with several people, limited time, and only one bathroom. Rather than letting stress create conflict, she says the group can plan, divide tasks, and let people use their natural abilities. She also reflects on family and parenting, saying she never had one favorite child because each child was her favorite in a different way, like a favorite food, favorite movie, and favorite song. This becomes an example of appreciating different people without comparing them. Communication, Self-Care, and Better Energy In the final portion, Gabrielle explains that self-care can be appropriate when the motive is to return better able to give. She says people should communicate honestly but humanely, because even a good message can be delivered in a painful way. She discusses anxiety, fear, and anger as signals about what could go wrong, what is going wrong, or what has gone wrong. Her advice is to identify the real source of a conflict, return to appreciation, respect, and trust, and keep working toward a shared goal. Closing Message and Resources Gabrielle closes by encouraging listeners to connect with people in real life rather than relying too heavily on technology. She asks them to speak with people in public, make eye contact, and bring positive energy into ordinary places. She directs listeners to her website, Life Synergy Coaching, and mentions her books, including Embrace Your True Nature, The Self-Actualization Workbook, and Till Death Do Us Part. The episode ends with her central message: healthy relationships come from knowing yourself, honoring others, and learning how to synchronize so that everyone becomes better together.

Don’t think for yourself. I realize that sounds very backwards. How could it be right not to think for yourself? I certainly don’t mean we should allow others to think for us. That’s not what I’m saying. That’s just as dangerous or more so than thinking for ourselves. But when you and I understand the importance our thoughts play in our lives, then we start to understand how critical it is for us to think correctly. Our thought life is the place where everything else begins. Our actions begin with thoughts; our words begin with thoughts; our attitudes are formed by thoughts; our emotions are controlled by our thoughts. As we are reminded in Proverbs 23:7, what we think is what we are. Therefore, we need to be very certain we are thinking right! In order to think correctly, we’ve got to formulate our thoughts based on truth, based on someone we can trust, based on principles which are right and good. Now, I’d like to think I can trust my own self to think correctly, but the more I get to know me and the more I understand my human nature, the more I realize I am not qualified to think for myself. The Bible says in my own natural flesh there dwells nothing good of itself. I know I’m inclined to sin, inclined to be selfish, inclined to take the easy way out, etc. And besides the problem of the sinfulness of my nature, there are the limitations of my understanding and wisdom, which can cause me to think incorrectly if I think for myself. Therefore, if I try to delude myself into believing I’m capable of thinking for myself, I’ll discover it leads me into some real difficulties. Instead of “Think for yourself,” our motto should be “Think biblically!” Then and only then can we be certain our thinking is right, because the Bible is God’s truth, and the only reliable source for us. People who claim to think for themselves rarely do just that. When you see someone rebelling against their parents, or against rules and regulations or authority of some kind, or going off into some deep end, they often use the excuse “I’m thinking for myself and nobody’s going to tell me how to think anymore.” But what’s really happening is they are allowing some other person or group to tell them how to think instead of the ones who have been influencing their thinking up to that point. Rarely are they truly thinking for themselves. Don’t be misled by the attractiveness of this commonly-held belief that we should think for ourselves. It certainly appeals to our proud human nature, but it leads us to place a confidence in our ability to think correctly. The sad news is most of us don’t always think correctly on our own. We are all influenced by the world around us, the attitudes of others, the majority viewpoint, and in addition, our thought life is polluted by our own sinful nature. Add all that up, and you realize not only is it dangerous to think for ourselves, it’s also fairly impossible, for our thinking is inevitably a result of other influences. For Christians, we need to be certain our thinking is shaped by the Word of God and that we are influenced by what God has to say. There was one particular occasion in Peter’s life when he was thinking for himself, and the Lord rather sharply rebuked him for it. The story is found in Matthew 16 where Jesus is explaining it is necessary for him to be killed. Peter didn’t like that idea, so we read that Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!” Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.” (Matthew 16:22-23) In Peter’s mind, it would have been a total catastrophe if Jesus were killed. That wasn’t the plan at all, as Peter saw it. So, controlled by his human way of thinking, Peter began to rebuke Jesus; we’d say he gave him a “piece of his mind.” Unfortunately, by doing that, Peter demonstrated that his mind was under the wrong control and influence. In fact, Jesus said Peter had become an instrument of Satan by even suggesting Calvary was not necessary. Satan wants to control all our thinking, because he knows we are controlled by our thought life. Therefore, keeping us from thinking biblically is one of his primary objectives. Who is influencing your thinking today? Modern humanistic philosophies? People who are not godly? Ideas and attitudes that have been passed on to you by friends or family who don’t know the Lord? Even other Christians who are not thinking biblically? Check it out. Whatever controls or influences how you think is, in reality, controlling you to some degree. Romans 12 tells us we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. In 2 Corinthians 10:5, we read we are to bring every thought into captivity, not let our thoughts run wild and free. Learning to think biblically should be the highest priority for every Christian. An obvious question is “What is biblical thinking?” Philippians 4:8 is a good place to start. It clearly defines what we should think about, and here’s the list: Things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Now, I’d like to mention some areas of wrong thinking which don’t meet these criteria. Have you noticed how often we can start imagining what may or may not happen in the future? I can find myself playing out a whole scenario in my mind of the worst-case possibilities, and before I know it, I’m really worried and upset over what might happen to me. That is untruthful thinking; it is imagining the future and allowing those imaginations to cause me to be fearful. Many Christians have started to think very lightly of immorality because immoral lifestyles have become acceptable in our society. Someone was describing a movie to me and commented that a couple in the movie was having an affair, but this person noted it wasn’t the usual sordid kind of affair; it was a tender, more genteel kind. That’s an example of allowing the morals of our culture to invade our mind and cause us to think unbiblically. Any kind of affair should be viewed as impure and wrong by a person who is thinking biblically. Honesty is another area that has been under heavy attack in our society over the last few years. People tend to think of lying as relative; in other words, the situation determines whether it’s right or wrong to lie. And there’s the idea that little lies don’t really do any harm. I notice a great deal of our entertainment treats lying humorously. With all that around us, it’s easy for us to think about lying and honesty in unbiblical ways. How about it? Can you see some areas in your own life where your thinking has been influenced by the world around you, and you’ve lost your biblical mind? Part of the great gift of God to us when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior is the presence of God’s Holy Spirit living within us, and therefore, Paul says, we have the mind of Christ. That means we’re able to think like Jesus thinks. In order to think biblically, we must first of all have this mind of Christ within us. You can’t think biblically without the power of the Holy Spirit. Then, we must learn to carefully control what we allow into our minds, for the input determines the output. The computer world has taught us if you put garbage in, you get garbage out! Only as we feed our minds with the right things can we expect to think biblically. We will think about what we read, what we hear, and what we see, so if we are hearing, reading and seeing things that are not in conformity to biblical principles, obviously we’re going to think wrongly. You can fail miserably if you allow all kinds of immorality and impurity to be poured into your mind through television, videos, books, movies, podcasts, etc. It takes careful screening of the input into our minds in order to think biblically. It also takes what I call the Replacement Theory. When we start to think wrongly, and we know we should change, we must be able to replace the wrong thought with the right one. It’s almost impossible to just stop thinking about something, but if you start thinking about something else, then you can be successful at replacing the wrong thought with the right thought. That takes a set of your will to say: “I will not think about this any longer; I will think instead of this.” Many times, I actually talk out loud to myself and say, “Come on, Mary, you know you shouldn’t think about that. Now, stop it and think about this instead.” I can tell you the Replacement Theory works! There’s so much more to say about right thinking. In fact, I’ve written a book entitled Think About What You Think About. You'll find more information about it on our website, or you can order it from Amazon. I believe it will help you to learn how to think biblically, and if I can help you do that, I’ve done you a very big favor. Remember, thinking for yourself can get you into lots of difficulty. But thinking biblically will enable you to make good choices, right decisions, live a godly life, and know the peace and contentment that comes from right thinking. Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace (Romans 8:5-6). Biblically thinking guarantees us life and peace. I’d say the return on your investment is very profitable, and I encourage you to join me in a daily commitment to think biblically.

Today on The Gist, Mike asks whether everyone is a hypocrite, or whether hypocrisy has become so universal that the word barely functions. Graham Platner, Ken Paxton, Pete Hegseth, Susan Collins, and Jake Auchincloss all make appearances in a tour of political standards, double standards, and the rare politician willing to say his own side's nominee fails the test. Then, Christian B. Miller, A.C. Reid Professor of Philosophy at Wake Forest University and author of The Honesty Crisis, joins to discuss why honesty ranks as our most treasured virtue, why people still cheat when they think they can get away with it, and why a small share of people may be responsible for a huge share of lies. Plus, Mike presses Miller on pornography, fantasy, celebrity, politics, and whether public life now overexposes us to the professions where dishonesty pays best.   Produced by Corey Wara Edited by Geoff Craig Do you have questions or comments, or just want to say hello?

CHICAGO, IL - Hard to believe but it's the final week of the regular season. Crazy, we know. Crazier still, the three bottom teams are still alive in the playoff hunt and the Chicago Hounds have a chance to go undefeated. With that, MLR Weekly welcomes Chicago Head Coach Chris Latham, the Wallabies legend in. Coach Latham talks about the pressures of being on top, honesty in the clubhouse and host Matt McCarthy continuously picking against his team! ALSO FEATURED: -

Today's meditation is based on selected verses from Proverbs, the Psalms and Matthew. Honesty is a virtue that we value as individuals and in society. Without it, we have no moral compass with which to navigate agreements, and social values. It is the bedrock of relationships and is critical to mental and emotional well-being of us all. God warns of dishonestly in business, instructing us to treat others fairly, to protect those who might be subject to others' deceit because to do so, is a type of justice. It is the thread of gold woven into our communities that keeps us in peace with one another.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

(8) Bob Zimmerman concludes by revisiting the Apollo 1 catastrophe, where three astronauts died due to "hubris" and careless engineering on the launchpad. This failure forced NASA to adopt total honesty, resulting in critical safety redesigns like the new hatch and atmosphere. Simultaneously, the Soviet program suffered its own tragedy with the death of cosmonaut Komarov during Soyuz 1's re-entry. These setbacks forced both nations to slow their pace and prioritize rigorous testing. The guest notes that without these disasters, a moon landing might have occurred in 1967, but the resulting caution ultimately shaped the success of Apollo 8.

Infinite banking gets pitched to almost everyone, but it only works for a narrow group of people. The concept isn't about how much you earn or how disciplined you are at saving. It comes down to whether you borrow money regularly and what that borrowing actually costs you. The original idea, as Nelson Nash conceived it, was built for business owners with strong, consistent cash flow who finance things as part of their daily operations. Think of a retailer buying inventory or a company purchasing equipment. These are people who are already borrowing money and paying meaningful interest to do so. That's where the math gets interesting. Inventory loans and short-cycle business credit often carry double-digit rates because banks understand the payoff expectations and the risk associated with that lending. Moving that financing from 15% down to somewhere near 5% is a real advantage, especially when you can repay on your own schedule and keep the debt off the bank's radar. The trouble is that infinite banking isn't a savings hack, and it isn't magic. If you spend more than you earn, no policy structure can fix that. And if you rarely borrow, or your best available credit is already cheap, a policy that sits unused defeats the whole premise. You'll also learn why policy loan rates don't move the way bank rates do. Traditional lending follows the Fed, but whole life policy loans track the bond market and typically reprice no more than once a year. During a rate-hiking cycle, that difference can widen the gap in your favor. Honesty about suitability matters here. A large share of permanent life policies lapse within ten years, often because people underestimate future cash needs. That's not an argument against the concept, but it is a reason to be clear-eyed about who should attempt it. If you think you might fit the profile, or you're not sure, it's worth getting a straight answer before you commit. Schedule a call or send us a message, and we can walk through whether it actually makes sense for your situation.

Honesty is the best policy - I apologize for just abandoning those who do listen. I want to be worthy of the call & that means allowing the Bible (word) to wash me, transform me, rebuke me & correct me! Grateful to be a recipient of grace on today. ​A scripture I mentioned in the prayer & I didn't say it fully or completely accurate so here it is below: “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Summary In this episode of the Sisterhood of Sweat, host Linda Mitchell interviews Ian Jarvis, an actor, entrepreneur, and author of 'The Escape Artist.' Ian shares his incredible life story, which includes being a federal fugitive for eight years and his journey of reinvention and resilience. The conversation delves into the mental struggles of living outside the law, the importance of honesty in storytelling, and how adversity can shape confidence and identity. Ian emphasizes that our past does not define our future and encourages listeners to embrace their own journeys of transformation. Takeaways Ian Jarvis's life story is a testament to resilience. Living as a fugitive brings constant mental strain. Reinvention requires understanding one's true self. Honesty in storytelling is crucial for authenticity. Character traits can be powerful tools if used wisely. Confidence can stem from necessity, not just self-assurance. Listening to others is key to understanding them. People often reveal their true selves through signals. Adversity can lead to personal growth and transformation. Your past does not determine your future. Embrace change.

Welcome to the Influence Podcast! I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. "Honesty matters, and people care a great deal about it," writes Christian Miller. Yet we are facing an unprecedented erosion of honesty today — what I call an honesty crisis. Indeed, we are facing not just one crisis, but a variety of honesty crises in different parts of our society. … Fortunately, in many cases, there are concrete steps we can take to turn the tide." In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk about those steps with Christian Miller. He is the A. C. Reid Professor of Philosophy at Wake Forest University, president of the Society of Christian Philosophers, and author of The Honesty Crisis: Preserving Our Most Treasured Virtue in an Increasingly Dishonest World, published by Oxford University Press.   Sponsor AdThis episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by Gospel Publishing House, distributors of Trusted with Treasureby Assemblies of God General Secretary Brad Kesler.

Yodelayheehoo New Paradigmers!The more I wake up the more I see,What is and is not true.Who I am and why I'm here,And what I can and cannot do.☉"To be or not to be? To do or not to do? Is it true or not true?" These are the questions to be asking these days.  Another one is "Is it worth my time?"  The answers to all these questions are better to be found inside first before asking another.  Honesty begins at home.  I love Byron Katie's "The Work" where the first question she wants us to ask ourselves when another person criticizes or triggers us is "Is it True?"  Soo often when we're emotionally triggered it's our own shadow (suppressed aspects of ourselves) that's disturbed when another sees it, represents it, or acts it out.  If it's true we need to go down a different road than if it's false.This full Moon in Sag will bring us some opportunities to hone our skill in getting our ego-self out of the way to allow for our higher-observer self to enlighten us.  Let's remember that what may be true for mom, dad, sister, friend, lover may not be true for us.  Then we have a situation where it is true, it's just not true for us.  Then, to go even farther, there is not just true and false, there are degrees according to our values, soul intentions, soul history, and future path.  For someone, having a steady secure job that pays the bills may be the highest priority and very true for them.  For another, having a steady secure job that pays the bills may not be as important as cooking, painting, designing, or planning an event.  So one does not have to be wrong, but it would be wrong for one to shame, coerce, or force the other to conform to their values.Lastly, especially with the Sun moving through Gemini, you have both those voices within yourself!  That's when we need to sit still, breathe, calm ourselves, take time, and feel within to determine the source of our values/needs.  Are they coming from old voices within coming from parents, teachers, or preachers?  Are they coming from social media, political, or other external "bosses?" Are they your partner/lover's values/needs?  Alongside, behind, or above all these inner voices is your intuitive self whispering softly what your soul truly values and what will bring you the greatest growth, love, power, and peace.  This is La Luna in Sag talkin' to you!  let's listen!This week's song is "I Can See Clearly Now"  https://youtu.be/MrHxhQPOO2c?si=oVIIreRPKOIDXl1kSo Much Love,Kaypacha

What does life actually look like after eating disorder recovery? Not the Instagram version—the real, honest truth. Today, on my youngest son's 8th birthday, I'm sharing the profound lessons recovery has taught me about life, motherhood, building a business, and navigating the beautiful mess of being fully human. These aren't platitudes or recovery clichés—they're hard-earned truths from someone living freely on the other side. In this deeply personal episode, you'll discover: Why your perspective determines whether thoughts become prison or power How fear reveals inexperience, not inability The recovery superpower that changes everything Why everything (yes, everything) is temporary The liberation of becoming your own rescue How to stop wasting your most precious currency Why healing happens through action, not perfection How your recovery creates ripples that save other lives For the woman wondering if recovery is worth it—this is your answer. THE BIRTHDAY REVELATION Yesterday, we celebrated my son turning 8. As I watched him blow out his candles, I got emotional thinking about all the birthdays I was present for him but not for myself. But more than that—I started reflecting on everything recovery has given me beyond just freedom from food noise. Wisdom about life, relationships, business, and what really matters. These 8 lessons aren't just about recovery—they're about living fully awake in your own life. LESSON 1: YOUR PERSPECTIVE CAN BE YOUR POWER OR YOUR PRISON During my disorder: My appetite = my failure. Family dinners = battlegrounds. My changing body = what I should fear above all other things. Now: My sons appetite (and mine)= health. Dinners = connection. His growth = beautiful unfolding. The truth: Your perspective shapes everything—how you see situations AND how you let others' opinions affect you. Eleanor Roosevelt was right: No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Recovery teaches you to withdraw that consent and choose empowering perspectives. Your thoughts can be the walls of your prison or the wings of your freedom. LESSON 2: FEAR COMES FROM INEXPERIENCE, NOT INCAPABILITY Every time I was terrified to try something new in business—launching programs, raising prices, speaking—it wasn't because I couldn't do it. I just hadn't done it yet. The eating disorder convinced me I was incapable of eating intuitively, resting without guilt, taking up space. But I wasn't incapable—I was inexperienced. Every fear about recovery isn't proof you can't do it. It's proof you haven't experienced it yet. The only way through inexperience is experience. LESSON 3: RADICAL HONESTY IS YOUR RECOVERY SUPERPOWER For years, I lied constantly: "I'm fine" (when dying inside) "I don't care about food" (when it consumed my thoughts) "Recovery is easy" (when it felt impossible) But dishonesty keeps you sick. Honesty sets you free. Being honest with my kids about needing rest. With clients about what recovery requires. With myself about what wasn't working. That radical honesty—about what you want, need, feel, and what must change—becomes your greatest recovery tool. LESSON 4: EVERYTHING IS TEMPORARY—THE GOOD AND THE HARD The hard seasons pass: Teenage drama, business struggles, recovery setbacks. The beautiful moments pass too: My son's 8th birthday will never come again. Your eating disorder feels permanent when you're in it. Recovery struggles feel endless. But they're not. Recovery game-changer: Never ruin a good day thinking about yesterday's mistakes. One slip-up used to destroy my entire week. Now I know—yesterday's choices don't determine today's possibilities. Everything is temporary. How do you want to spend this temporary time? LESSON 5: YOU ARE YOUR OWN RESCUE This sounds harsh but it's liberating: No one is coming to save you from your eating disorder. No perfect therapist, magic moment, or external circumstance. The beautiful flip: You have everything you need inside you already. You don't need to wait for someone else to fix, validate, or give you permission to heal. You are the one you've been waiting for. Your recovery is your responsibility—and that's your power. LESSON 6: TIME IS YOUR GREATEST CURRENCY Building a business while raising kids taught me: Time is the only thing you can't make more of. I volunteer time for causes I believe in. Invest time in relationships that matter. Spend time on fulfilling work. But I refuse to waste time on: Diet culture Food obsession Body hatred Disorder behaviors Every minute in your eating disorder is a minute you can't spend living your actual life. LESSON 7: HEALING HAPPENS THROUGH ACTION, NOT PERFECTION My kids don't grow in perfect straight lines. Some days they're wise beyond their years, other days they melt down over socks. Recovery is the same. Some days you feel free, others you struggle with old thoughts. The key insight: You can't think your way to recovery. You have to live your way there. I didn't positive-think my way to food freedom. I acted my way there: Ate when I didn't want to Rested when it felt wrong Took up space when I wanted to shrink Your thinking changes to match your actions—not the other way around. LESSON 8: YOUR RECOVERY RIPPLES INTO THE WORLD When you recover loudly, you keep others from dying quietly. Your recovery matters beyond just you: Every woman who realizes she's not alone Every mother who models food freedom for her daughter Every person who chooses life over disorder Share this podcast. Share your story. Recover loudly so others know freedom is possible. THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE AFTER RECOVERY As I tucked my 8-year-old in last night, he said, "Mom, this was the best birthday ever." I realized—I was fully present. Not calculating cake calories. Not worried about photos. Not planning tomorrow's restriction. That's the truth about life after recovery: You get the gift of being present for your own life. You get to: Show up fully for your kids Build businesses from passion, not perfectionism Love people without keeping score Take up space without apologizing Live without constant internal negotiation KEY QUOTES

In this episode, Bob and Shawn unpack the Biblical connection between honesty, integrity, and lasting financial stewardship. They explain how honesty—truthfulness in words and actions—and integrity—living consistently aligned with God's values—work together to build trust, strong relationships, and a secure foundation for life and wealth. Grounded in Scripture, this conversation reveals why being faithful in the small things is essential to being entrusted with more. You'll also discover the real-life benefits of living with honesty and integrity—greater peace, credibility, and stability—as well as the hidden costs of dishonesty, from broken trust to spiritual and personal consequences. This episode challenges listeners to examine not just what they do, but who they are when no one is watching, and how that shapes their financial future and witness.

Henry and Shireal get real about the difference between honesty and transparency — and why one keeps your marriage calm while the other keeps it chaotic.

Wake Forest University Professor of Philosophy Christian B. Miller joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and Jennifer Maritza McCauley to discuss his newest work of nonfiction, The Honesty Crisis: Preserving Our Most Treasured Virtue in an Increasingly Dishonest World. Miller argues that integrity and honesty are rapidly disintegrating and we are quickly losing social norms around truth-telling. He outlines five main categories that are contributing to this honesty crisis, gives his definition of honesty, and explains how we can diminish our reliance on self-interest. He explores how a loss of integrity can affect the academic, romantic, political and technological realms. Miller also addresses contemporary politics, the recent presidential election and how honesty is in flux in our country. He reads from The Honesty Crisis.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Kamini Wood reframes common communication struggles not as personal failures or lack of skill, but as sophisticated survival patterns learned in childhood. She explains that many high achievers are actually highly skilled at "reading the room," a protective adaptation developed in environments where direct honesty was met with tension or withdrawal. While this ability to measure tone and energy was once necessary for safety, it often leads to indirect communication, "soft pedaling" needs, and an exhausting habit of rehearsing conversations in adult relationships. Kamini invites listeners to distinguish between their nervous system's activation and actual conflict, providing a path toward rebuilding self-trust and finding the clarity that allows for genuine, grounded connection.Kamini Wood reframes common communication struggles not as personal failures or lack of skill, but as sophisticated survival patterns learned in childhood.

Making friends as an adult can feel intimidating, especially when it seems like your upbringing didn't give you the skills to navigate social connections. In this Coaching Hotline episode, I answer two listener questions about friendships and social interactions. I explore why it is possible to build friendships while continuing your self-work, and why the story you tell yourself about your friendship skills can keep you stuck.I also tackle the tricky line between honesty and people pleasing. I break down why volunteering opinions that nobody asked for is not automatically people pleasing and why the key is understanding your own motivations behind sharing advice or judgments. This episode will help you distinguish between speaking your truth for yourself and managing your behavior out of concern for others' approval.Submit your own question here and it might get answered on a future episode: unfuckyourbrain.com/coachinghotlineGet full show notes, transcript, and more information here: schoolofnewfeministthought.com/493Follow along on Instagram: instagram.com/karaloewentheil/Mentioned in this episode:The Future Coach Podcast is Here!The Future Coach: How to Succeed as a Life Coach Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond is finally here.

Something happens in your life when you have a personal encounter with God's love.  Something that changes you. I'm sure you know that God loves you.  But do you only know that on a surface level? For some, it's a mere blanket statement of faith – nothing more than a thing you say because it's what everyone else says.  “Jesus loves me this I know – for the Bible tells me so.”  But God wants his love to reach you in a deep, personal way to the core of your identity.  More than just because the Bible tells you so, but because you've personally experienced his love.  What God has for you is this, “Jesus loves me this I know – for he met me in my soul.” Before you are anything else, you are loved by God.  Before you are pretty enough, smart enough, or good enough in any way, you are LOVED BY GOD.  Before the first thing you did right or after the last thing you got wrong, you are loved by God.  Your mere existence proves the fact of his love for you. But because you've had his love every day of your life whether you acknowledged it or not, maybe it's just become ordinary and unimpressive to you.  Sure, I'm loved by God – but what about these bills?  Yeah, I have God's love, but what about all the things I don't seem to have right now?  What about this mess?  What about this problem?  What about next month?  God's love seems irrelevant in my real life of real struggles. Really, what does God's love do for you?  Well, besides the fact that his love for you created you, gives you breath, saves your soul, and gives you a promised eternity in paradise … there's more.  More for your real life right here today. Satan can't take away the fact that God's love gives you life.  He can't cancel your promised destiny in heaven.  But what Satan can actively do is make your world so busy, so loud, and so fussy with absolute nonsense that you forfeit the power of God's love here and now.  And then here you are walking around so totally loved by a God who holds all the power in the world, and totally unaware of how his love can radically change your life TODAY. Yes, today.  God's love can change your experience in this day of life.  God's love can open your eyes to what you've never seen before.  God's love can change your thoughts and fill your entire existence with peace and joy.  God's love can supernaturally strengthen you to do things you've never ever been able to do before. That's what the enemy doesn't want you to know.  Satan wants to keep you stuck in your pit of darkness, your overwhelm of sadness, your little hell of stress and worry.  Why?  Because there you are ineffective to share the light of Jesus.  There you are just another soul trudging through the existence of life waiting for it all to be over. Wait – has the enemy of your soul tricked you into living like that?  If so, recognize at the core of his trickery is the web of lies from the pits of hell telling you that you're not REALLY loved by God.  His lies tell you that you're just one of millions and millions of people and life is just happening to you.  His lies tell you you're not really important to the creator of the Universe and there's no divine power over the details of your days.  His lies tell you your prayers have no power, you don't really hear from the Holy Spirit, and God Almighty is a little too busy to constantly be caring about you. Hmmmm – you've heard those lies, haven’t you?  Have you started to believe them? How do you overcome a lie?  WITH TRUTH!  Here's the truth from God's word. Ephesians 3:19, “May you experience the LOVE OF CHRIST, though it I too great to understand fully.  Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” This is the scripture directly after yesterday's verse giving us the measurements of God's love through the cross.  Remember, we can look at the cross and know how WIDE God's love is, how LONG God's love is, how HIGH God's love is and how DEEP God's love is.  But it's not enough to just know about these measurements of love through the cross, you must EXPERIENCE THIS LOVE. No you will never fully understand it, but you can still experience it.  You will never have the right words to express his love, but you will feel it deep within your soul when you encounter it.  Jesus loves me this I know, for he met me in my soul. May you EXPERIENCE the love of Christ.  The Greek word translated into ‘experience' in this scripture is ginōskō.  This is a word for knowing firsthand after a personal encounter.  It's deeper than knowing because you were taught or told – it's a knowing because you've experienced it.  It's a shift from “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so” – to – “Jesus loves me this I know, for he met me in my soul.”  It's a shift from “I know God loves me”, to “I have BEEN loved by God in a way that changed me.” How does God's love change you?  It completes you.  It fills that hole that absolutely nothing else can.  You can achieve everything you've ever wanted to achieve, and still you need God's love.  You can have purely wonderful relationships all around you, and still you need God's love.  You can have the perfect body to include the hair, the clothes, the eyes, the smile, absolutely all the things, and you will still need God's love.  You can have everyone's approval and applause, and you will still feel a void within – a void that is only filled by God's love.  You can have everything – and everything will never be enough, without God's love. And here's why – Completeness comes from experiencing the love of God through Jesus.  Again, look at our scripture, “May you EXPERIENCE the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.  THEN you will be made COMPLETE with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”  The answer for your emptiness is the love of Jesus.  The solution for your longing is the love of Jesus.  Yes, that wide, long, high and deep love represented through the cross.  Have you experienced his love for you? Oh how I pray that you would be caught by God and completely swept away in his love.  I can't give you a formula for experiencing that.  I can't tell you, go to this exact place, pray this exact prayer, wait for 5 minutes, then his love will meet you and change everything.  It's simply not like that.  God's love meets us each in different ways at different times. I specifically remember the first time I experienced God's love on this level.  It was at one of my worst moments.  A moment where I was utterly disappointed and broken by the way my steps of faith had been rewarded by more hardship.  I had grown angry and bitter in the hardship, convinced God has messed up.  Sitting on my couch that day, I wrestled with my true feelings and tried to suppress it all.  My husband said, “Pamela, why don’t you just say it – you're mad at God.”  I had never been told I could have that feeling and still be loved.  I never knew God was bigger than my disappointment.  I seriously thought I would be struck by lightning if I told God how I really felt about the crap happening in our life.  But in that moment I just couldn't hold it back any longer.  I screamed out, “God, I can't believe this is how you repay faithfulness.  I can't believe this is your good plan for me.  I'm so angry right now.” And then I held my breath waiting for the withdrawal of his presence.  But instead of being struck by lightening, I was struck by his unfailing love.  I personally experienced the LOVE of CHRIST there in my weakest and most vulnerable moment.  He didn't turn away from me, instead I could feel his peace fill me.  In unspeakable ways, I was loved like I had never been loved before.  In my most unlovable moment, I was fully loved. That was a turning point for me.  I stepped out of being the victim and I harnessed new power.  Yes, power.  Power that comes from God when you experience the love of Christ.  Things didn't instantly change for us, but I can look back and see exactly how God was working for good in every detail.  Our struggles prepared us for the outpouring of blessings to come.  We came out stronger, more grounded, stripped down of all the excess, and our hands were open to receive what God had for us next. Honesty allows us to experience God's life changing love.  You don't have to pretend you're okay.  You don't have to play along like you're happy about the way things turned out.  You don't have to smile your way through the pain.  God can handle your honest emotions – but you have to surrender them to him.  When you do, you'll be met with a love you could never earn.  And that love changes everything. Paul writes that once you experience the true measure of God's love that is wide, long, high and deep, “THEN YOU WILL BE MADE COMPLETE WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF LIFE AND POWER THAT COMES FROM GOD.” To have fullness means you lack nothing that is needed – you are perfectly filled.  Filled with LIFE and POWER. Have you ever met someone that is filled with LIFE and POWER?  They just glow different don't they?  There's something magnetic about them.  That's the power of Jesus' love within them.  If you want it, it's available to you too. You'll never understand this love, but you can live in it.  Faith is required here.  Surrender is your next step.  Go ahead and fall apart and let his loving arms catch you.  Experience his love. This is the flow: • Experience God's love • Be made whole in his love • Live filled with God's life and power The life God has for you and the power to fully live that life only comes AFTER experiencing his love.  You don't get that overflowing life without allowing a close relationship with God.  You don't get to stand on the bank, sis – You are being called into the waterfall of his love.  This is not a spectator sport.  Spectators see others be filled with life and power and walk away wondering why they can't have the same.  This is going to require you to get fully soaked in the flow of God's love! This is my genuine love-filled prayer for every single soul listening today – Oh how I want you to experience God's true love for you personally.  I have, and it changed everything.  It can do the same for you. May you EXPERIENCE the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.  THEN you will be made COMPLETE with all the FULLNESS of LIFE and POWER that comes from God.

This episode explores why modern life is quietly making us less social — and why even tiny moments of connection can dramatically improve happiness, relationships, and confidence. AJ and Johnny sit down with University of Chicago professor Nick Epley to unpack the psychology behind loneliness, introversion myths, social anxiety, communication, and why people consistently underestimate how much others want to connect with them. They also discuss how technology trains us to avoid uncertainty, why your voice matters more than text, and how honesty and asking for help actually strengthen relationships instead of weakening them.

This message is a reminder that communication is more than exchanging information. It's one of the ways we protect unity, build trust, and help people move forward together. Looking at Numbers 10 and the role of the trumpets, we're challenged to communicate with clarity, honesty, brevity, and wisdom—speaking in ways that reflect both truth and love.

On episode 257, we welcome Christian B. Miller to discuss the growing honesty crises shaping modern society, the philosophical and psychological roots of dishonesty and self-deception, the impact of AI and deepfakes on our ability to trust reality, the rise of AI use and academic integrity concerns in education, how social media rewards performance over authenticity, the spread of misinformation and political polarization online, whether technology is scaling deception faster than virtue can adapt, the importance of preserving honesty as a foundational human virtue, and what still gives Christian hope for humanity's relationship with truth in an increasingly dishonest world.  Christian B. Miller is the A. C. Reid Professor of Philosophy at Wake Forest University. He is the author of over 130 articles as well as Moral Psychology (2021) and four books with Oxford University Press, Moral Character: An Empirical Theory (2013), Character and Moral Psychology (2014), The Character Gap: How Good Are We? (2017), and Honesty: The Philosophy and Psychology of a Neglected Virtue (2021). He is a contributor for Forbes, and his writings have appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Dallas Morning News, Slate, The Conversation, Newsweek, Aeon, and Christianity Today. His new book, available May 19, 2026, is called The Honesty Crisis: Preserving Our Most Treasured Virtue in an Increasingly Dishonest World. | Christian Miller | ► Website | https://www.christianbmiller.com ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/CharacterGap ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/charactergap ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/CharacterGap ► The Honesty Crisis Book | https://amzn.to/4uSp1z1 Where you can find us: | Seize The Moment Podcast | ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/SeizeTheMomentPodcast ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/seize_podcast  ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/seizethemomentpodcast ► TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@seizethemomentpodcast  

God, the Father, Is Spirit; Jesus Followers Must Worship the Father in Spirit and Truth with Reality and Honesty and Not a Façade MESSAGE SUMMARY: As Jesus, in John 4:23-26, tells the woman of Samaria by the well: “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” The woman said to him, ‘I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.' Jesus said to her, ‘I who speak to you am he.'”. Not just God but the Father will be worshiped in Spirit and in Truth. The father desires the kind of worshipers that worship in the Holy Spirit and worshipers that worship in Truth – not a façade but a reality and an honesty before God. God is Spirit, and His worshippers must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth because Jesus told us, in John 14:6: “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'". We serve a God who is Spirit, in His essence, as well as The Truth.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

In this special episode, Kate Wolf, Medaya Ocher, and Eric Newman discuss the "honesty crisis" facing contemporary culture. Using a recent book by the philosopher Christian Miller for reference, the hosts examine the internet as an engine for dishonesty, fueling everything from deepfakes to infidelity, AI cheating, political manipulation, and influencer peddling. Is dishonesty just part of the human condition, and perhaps even the social contract? What would a culture of radical honesty — or radical transparency — look like, and is that what we want? 

In this episode, we explore a powerful connection that quietly shapes every relationship in your life: the way you treat yourself is how you teach others to treat you. We examine how core beliefs we carry about our worth, love, and safety don't just live in our minds, they shape our behavior, relationships, and what we tolerate. We break down how these beliefs are formed through childhood dynamics and past relationships, and how they show up in adulthood through patterns. We will also guide you through a simple exercise to help identify your own core beliefs in real time. We also consider boundaries and how they are not about pushing people away, but about defining self-respect in action, are one of the clearest expressions of self-love, communicate what you will and won't accept, and create the structure that allows relationships to feel safe, honest, and sustainable. This episode is a conversation about self-trust, emotional awareness, and what it really means to stop abandoning yourself in the name of love.Download HILY Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/d31uDGo to https://aquatru.com now for 20% off your purifier using promo code TCEDISCLAIMER: This podcast offers information for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.

Let's talk about something most retreat leaders avoid… until they absolutely can't. Insurance. In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with Myles Anderson from Event Helper, an insurance provider specializing in events and retreats, to break down why insurance is not optional in the retreat industry - it's essential. Because here's the reality: You are responsible for people's safety, experiences, and well-being during your retreat. And without the right coverage in place, one incident can put your entire business - and personal assets - at risk. In this conversation, Shannon and Myles discuss: Why retreat leaders need event insurance Why venues should require it What can actually go wrong at a retreat The real consequences of not having proper coverage How retreat leaders can protect themselves, their guests, and their business This episode is not fear-based - it's reality-based. If you host retreats, events, or group experiences, this is one of the most important conversations you can listen to.   What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why insurance is essential for retreat leaders • What types of risks exist at retreats and events • Why venues require insurance (and why you should expect it) • What can happen financially and legally without coverage • How insurance protects both the host and the guest experience   Key Takeaways You Are Responsible as the Host When you host a retreat, you are taking on responsibility for: participant safety activities environment logistics Even with the best planning, things can happen.   Insurance Protects More Than You Think Insurance isn't just about worst-case scenarios. It protects: your business your personal assets your reputation your ability to continue hosting retreats   Venues Require It for a Reason Professional venues often require retreat leaders to carry insurance. This protects: the venue the retreat host the guests If a venue doesn't require it, that's something to pay attention to.   Without Insurance, the Risk Is Real Without proper coverage, retreat leaders could face: liability claims legal costs unexpected financial loss And in some cases, it could shut down a retreat business completely.   This Is About Being a Professional Running a retreat is not just about creating a great experience.
