I also break down the crucial practices that build self-worth — from expressing needs and boundaries to taking healthy risks.

Sept. 23, 2025 - The Trump administration's hostility to immunizations, including the COVID-19 vaccine, has prompted state action to preserve access to these public health services. We explore what the landscape looks like in New York with Dr. Scott Guisinger, vice president of pharmacy for Price Chopper, Market 32, and Tops Markets and a director on the board of the Community Pharmacy Association of New York.

Why does the world so often resist the truth of God's Word? From Jesus' own rejection to the persecution of the early church, Scripture reminds us that truth is rarely welcomed with open arms. In this episode, we explore why people hate the truth, how it exposes hearts, and how we as believers can respond with courage, grace, and unwavering faith.

Let's be clear what the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel on ABC is really about. Similarly, with Colbert and the Late Show termination. The market is reacting - not the government. So be aware as the left tries to make this about voices being silenced by Trump. That's what the left does. Not conservatives. Stigall eulogizes late night comedy today. Plus, important conversations with Eric Trump as he documents his family's long history on the receiving end of legal, financial, and literal targeting in his brand new book "Under Siege: My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation." Harmeet Dhillon - now assistant Attorney General at DOJ joins the show and gives us a peek inside her work trying to reform the corrupt system and return to a baseline of justice for all. Plus, the targeting of people of faith must be front and center because it's far bigger than politics with Brad Brandon who's authored a Daily Wire piece "Why Christians and Jews are Facing a Wave of Hostility." And President Trump dazzles and deals in the UK. What's he trying to get accomplished?

In this episode of Cut the Mic, Mike Hoeflich and Mike Sperrazza tackle the dangerous consequences of political rhetoric that demonizes conservatives. From being labeled “fascists” to “threats to democracy,” they argue that this divisive language fuels hostility and can incite violence. The Mikes reflect on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, contrasting how the right responded with faith and unity while the left often resorts to anger and destruction. They also highlight the values Charlie stood for—faith, family, freedom, and open dialogue—and call out the hypocrisy of leaders like Kathy Hochul endorsing socialists who promote divisive, anti-American policies. This conversation is both a warning about the cost of political hate and a rallying cry to stand firm in conservative values. (00:00:08) Impact of Inflammatory Language on Political Violence(00:05:34) Political Reactions to Tragic Events: Civility vs. Hostility(00:09:55) Advocating Open Dialogue and Family Values(00:14:33) Socialist Leaders' Wealth Amid Private Sector Struggles(00:22:57) Legacy Upheld: Family's Patriotic Commitment Persisting

This week, the party finally corners Skibrellon—who may just be in the running for the worst host in the history of the Darklands. Then again, considering how the party's been treating his home, they might be equally deserving of the title worst guests. Tensions rise, spores fly, and manners are nowhere to be found.

Episode Notes The Edmiston Center focuses on Christian endurance in the midst of competing cultural narratives. Mrs. K.A. Ellis, its director, joined Dr. Keith Plummer to talk about how she came to Christ and the people and things God used to form her heart for Christians experiencing persecution around the world. What different forms does persecution take, and despite these differences, what commonalities underlie them? What can Christians in the West learn from how Christians around the world and across time have persevered in the face of severe opposition? How can American Christians conquer cultural anxiety? Karen answers these questions as well as whether American Christians are being persecuted. She and Dr. Plummer also discuss what led her to “jump ship” from X (Twitter).

Most workplaces have unhealed leaders and because of the mindsets of those leaders (CEO, Bosses, Leaders, Supervisors, etc.) things are allowed to take place and therefore, trickle down. Many leaders simply don't know how to lead. A good leader sets the example and lead from the front. Unfortunately, that isn't what is happening in most workplaces. That's why workplaces all over the world have nepotism, favoritism, discrimination, harassment, hostility, low morale, etc. You take you everywhere you go and whatever is in you is coming out in one way or another. It doesn't matter what title, position, or status you hold, it will never heal what's inside of you. Therefore, you will display and project your unresolved pains into the lives of other people. It's not just the leaders it is also the employees who falls under the leaders. Workplaces are full to the brim of people with unhealed hearts and minds! It will never change until people choose to be better people and that won't happen without inner healing and change! I think all agencies should have a Facilitation Team to help with internal issues.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

This episode starts lightly, with a continued conversation about how men handle emotion, and then breaks into a discussion about yet another shooting targeting Christians, and the surprising response from some national leaders. What's truly driving that? Is there a spiritual conspiracy behind evil violience?

Fred Bodimer reports on the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis that claimed the lives of two children and injured several others during morning Mass. The FBI is investigating the attack as a domestic terrorism hate crime against Catholics. The segment also covers community vigils, Pope Leo XIV's message of support, and the nationwide rise in hostility toward churches, with incidents of vandalism, arson, and shootings sharply increasing.

Read Online“The Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come.” Matthew 22:2–3The king in this parable is God the Father, and the wedding is the marriage between Christ and the Church. The Father invites each one of us to be a member of the Church and to enter into divine union with His Son Jesus, thus entering into the life of the Holy Trinity. But we see right away in the parable that the invited guests “refused to come.” As the parable goes on, the king tried even harder to invite the guests, but they all responded in one of two ways. “Some ignored the invitation and went away…” and “The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.” Clearly, this was not the response hoped for by the generous king.We see in these two responses two levels of rejection of the Gospel that are present in our world today, just as it was at the time of Jesus. The first level of rejection is indifference. Many people are very busy today. We easily become occupied with many things that matter little in the end. Many are consumed by their smartphones, computers and tablets. Many spend countless hours watching television. Others become workaholics, spending most of their time at their occupation and leaving little time for that which is most important, such as family, prayer and service. As a result, it is very easy to become indifferent to the matters of faith and easy to fail to pray every day so as to seek out and fulfill God's will. This indifference is quite serious.There is also a rejection of the faith in our world through a growing hostility toward the Church and morality. There are many ways in which the secular world continues to promote a culture that is contrary to the Gospel. And when Christians speak out and oppose these new cultural tendencies, they are condemned and often characterized as being prejudiced or judgmental. Such malice was displayed by the guests in this parable who “laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.” Hostility toward the Church, the faith and clear moral principles laid down by God appears to be growing every year. This form of rejection of the Gospel is even more damaging than the simple indifference mentioned above. In this parable for today, Jesus says that in response to those who were indifferent and hostile, the king “sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.”This parable should not be read in such a way that we look at others and condemn them as if we were the king and had the right to do so. We do not have that right. Only God does. Instead, this parable should be read from the perspective of your own life. Hopefully you are not one of those who are hostile to the Gospel. But perhaps you and many other Christians struggle with the first form of rejection: indifference. We can easily become indifferent in many various ways and on many different levels. The opposite of being indifferent is to care and to care deeply about going to the wedding feast when invited.Reflect, today, upon the Wedding Feast to which you are invited. You are invited to enter into the glorious celebration of becoming one with the Savior of the World. You are invited to surrender your life to Him without reserve. You are invited to holiness, moral integrity, unwavering fidelity to God, service of others, charity that knows no bounds and so much more. To enter the Wedding Feast of the Lamb is something that must take place every day and every moment of your day for the rest of your life. God is inviting you. Will you say “Yes” with every fiber of your being? My inviting Lord, You desire that all people fully accept the invitation You have given to become one with You through spiritual marriage. You call us to the glorious Wedding Feast and eternal rejoicing. May I never be indifferent to Your invitation and always make my response with all my heart. I love You, dear Lord. Help me to love You all the more. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Brunswick Monogrammist, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Listen along as Mike Gaston continues our series through Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 10:1-48 - Jack reading   Slides   Slide 1   Big Idea   Christ's plan includes not just us, but all the nations of the world. How will we respond?   Slide 2   (Map of Israel showing Joppa and Caesarea, to be emailed separately)   Slide 3   “It is more likely, therefore, that the point is that the Lord's command frees Peter from any scruples about going to a Gentile home and eating whatever might be set before him. It would be a short step from recognizing that Gentile food was clean to realizing that Gentiles themselves were ‘clean' also.” Tyndale Commentary, I. Howard Marshall   Slide 4   “The conversion of Cornelius was a landmark in the history of the gospel's advance from its strictly Jewish beginnings to its penetration of the Roman Empire. True, it did not settle any of the issues relating to Jewish-Gentile relations within the church, nor did Jewish believers take it as a precedent for direct outreach to Gentiles. But it did show that the sovereign God was not confined to the traditional forms of Judaism and that He could bring a Gentile directly into relationship with himself through Jesus Christ and apart from any prior commitment to distinctive Jewish beliefs or lifestyle.” Richard N. Longenecker   Slide 5   John 10:16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.   Slide 6   Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”   Slide 7   Three possible responses to God's plan for the nations Hostility Indifference Enthusiasm   Slide 8   Mike's Definition of Missions:   God is using the preaching of the gospel to turn rebellious sinners around the world into redeemed worshippers of His Son Jesus Christ …   … and WE GET TO HELP!   Slide 9   “Lord, where do I fit?”  

In this lesson, we explore the dramatic moment in John chapter 2 when Jesus clears the Temple courts. What provoked such zeal from the Prince of Peace? One possible answer lies in something called the Soreg—a dividing wall in the Second Temple that separated Gentiles from the inner courts of worship. The penalty for crossing it? Death. In Jesus' day, this physical barrier symbolized deeper religious and cultural divisions, born from centuries of foreign intrusion—Antiochus Epiphanes desecrating the sanctuary, Pompey entering the Holy of Holies, Pilate defiling the gates with Roman symbols. In response, the people erected barriers—both physical and spiritual. And in many ways, we do the same today. As secular culture presses in, some churches lock down, creating their own modern-day Soregs to protect what they believe is sacred. But in doing so, are we possibly excluding the very people God wants to welcome in? Join us as we examine: - The historical and religious meaning of the Soreg - How Jesus' actions challenge a fortress mentality - Paul's message in Ephesians 2 about tearing down the dividing wall of hostility This lesson will challenge us to reflect on our own attitudes and how we use Scripture: Do we build walls that divide—or doors that invite? --------------------------------------------------- www.figtreeteaching.com Join the Fig Tree Coffee Club: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/store/p3/Fig_Tree_Coffee_Club.html Support Fig Tree Ministries: https://donorbox.org/support-figtree-ministries Fig Tree Amazon Portal: https://amzn.to/3USMelI Lesson Handout: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/blog/the-dividing-wall-of-hostility Soreg Handout: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/blog/the-dividing-wall-of-hostility Article - "Destroy This Temple" - The Messianic Promise of Rebuilding https://www.figtreeteaching.com/uploads/1/1/9/7/119763168/fig_tree_ministries_article_background_to_john_2_18_19.pdf YouTube: https://youtu.be/BifAsBGBO8E
