Growing Goodness and Gratitude From Within - with Tanya GodseyKarrie welcomes Freedom Movement Director of Spiritual Formation, writer and artist, Tanya Godsey to continue the discussion of goodness and gratitude. Tanya shares some of her personal journey with grief and how her relationship with God was key to her regaining hope during a time of despair. Tanya explains that we have a choice of how deeply we step into our relationship with God and our commitment to that relationship is the foundation for cultivating goodness and gratitude. Tanya gives practical advice for how to continue to keep goodness growing and a few questions to ask yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed by the world we live in. -Is my time and attention moving further from God? -Am I feeling an unhealthy longing or hyper-vigilance about having more information? -Where am I being too easily tempted to fall into unhealthy patterns?Tanya and Karrie end the episode with two simple things anyone can do to begin building intimacy with God and ultimately bring goodness and gratitude to the heart:Set aside 10 minutes of stillnessIf you had ten minutes with God what would you want to tell him? Befriending God by Tanya Godseyhttps://a.co/d/9bCtj0ZTo learn more about Tanya visit https://tanyagodsey.com/homeTanya's music can be found on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/4h3MTNgpLd9G3Yly2HJtnO?si=eRG3Ka-qQvKQ8X4wId8JmwKarrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey

Living simply isn't about deprivation—it's about freedom. And that freedom can unleash extraordinary generosity.God calls us to live with eternity in mind—not clinging to possessions but using what we have for His Kingdom. Randy Alcorn joins us today to talk about how we can loosen our grip on earthly things to open our hands to eternal impact.Randy Alcorn is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM) and the New York Times Bestselling author of more than 60 books, including Heaven, Money, Possessions, and Eternity, The Treasure Principle, and Giving Is the Good Life. His books have been translated into over 70 languages and have sold more than 10 million copies.Simplicity That Leads to GenerosityYou've likely heard the phrase, “Live simply, that others may simply live.” It's a short sentence with a world of meaning behind it—and one that feels increasingly relevant today.Everywhere we look, we see need. It's been that way ever since sin entered the world, but now the sheer scale is staggering—billions of people living in poverty, lacking food, clean water, or access to opportunity. When we consider this, it should be shocking to see how much of a difference it would make if those of us who follow Jesus simply chose to live on less—so that we could give more.This isn't about rejecting good gifts or living in asceticism. It's about reordering our priorities so that what God provides doesn't end with us. Living simply creates margin. And that margin can fuel generosity that transforms lives, both now and for eternity.Some people hear “simplicity” and think of minimalism for its own sake—going off the grid, cutting out every comfort, or proudly living with as little as possible. But simplicity by itself accomplishes very little.You could live the simplest life imaginable, and still not help anyone. The goal isn't simplicity—it's purposeful simplicity that opens the door to generous living.If God blesses you with wealth, there's no shame in that. In fact, that's a great opportunity. The question isn't how much do you have?—but what are you doing with what you have? Go ahead and earn well, but then invest it in God's Kingdom. Use what He's entrusted to you to love Him and to love others.That's where simplicity finds its true purpose—in freeing you to give more boldly, more joyfully, and more eternally.Seeing Life Through the Lens of EternityWhen Jesus said, “Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He wasn't speaking in riddles. He was revealing a reality that reshapes everything we own. But if we have no concept of Heaven—if we're not eager for the life to come—then treasures in Heaven won't mean much to us.Scripture promises that God will one day bring Heaven down to Earth—the new Earth, a renewed creation where righteousness dwells. That's our forever home. That's the world we were made for.When we live in light of that eternal perspective, it changes how we view possessions today. Why cling to what's temporary when you can invest in what lasts forever? The things of this world fade—but what's given to God's purposes endures.For many of us, money and possessions have enormous mass. But when we give generously, we shift our center of gravity from earth to eternity. We begin to orbit around God's Kingdom rather than our own comfort. That's freedom.Becoming God's Delivery SystemEverything we have comes from God—and it's meant to flow through us, not stop with us. I like to say we're not buckets, we're pipelines. God's resources are meant to move through our lives to accomplish His purposes.If the FedEx driver delivered a package to himself instead of the intended recipient, we'd say he misunderstood his job. And yet, that's what many of us do with God's provision. We assume it's all for us when in reality, we're the delivery system for His grace.The Bible says, “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.” (1 Corinthians 4:2) Faithful stewards don't hoard. They pass along what belongs to the true Owner.We've all heard the phrase, “God owns it all.” But do we live like it's true? If we really believe that everything we have belongs to Him, then generosity isn't a burden—it's obedience.That changes how we think about earning, saving, and spending. It means asking, “Lord, what do You want us to do with Your money?” That's stewardship in its purest form—managing God's resources for God's glory.Living for the Kingdom, Not the DreamThe Bible doesn't pit generosity against joy. In fact, they belong together. Paul writes in 1 Timothy 6 that God gives us all things richly to enjoy, even as he warns us about materialism.God delights in our joy. He gives good gifts. But He also invites us to hold them loosely. Take that vacation. Enjoy a good meal. But let gratitude and generosity flow together.Living simply doesn't mean rejecting enjoyment. It means finding joy in what pleases God most—seeing our resources advance His Kingdom and bless others in His name.It's easy to justify excess when someone else always seems to have more. But if we're not careful, we can baptize greed in the name of the American dream.God calls us to something far richer—a life rooted in gratitude, freedom, and Kingdom purpose. Living simply and giving generously keeps our hearts anchored in eternity and our hands open to bless others.That's not loss. That's joy. That's freedom. That's treasure that lasts forever.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 72 years old, still teaching at a state school, and I'd like to resume making payments on my student loans. They've been in deferment, so I haven't been able to make my regular $100-a-month payments. Is there any way I can make those payments? I've been told my loans won't qualify for forgiveness until I start paying on them.My husband and I are 55 and 56, and we own a business along with several rental properties. We have about $500,000 we'd like to invest, and we're considering a hybrid life insurance policy with a benefit access rider for long-term care. We'd put in about $155,000 for a guaranteed $250,000 death benefit each, for a total of $500,000, plus any growth.

Paul Black is Co-CEO and portfolio manager at WCM Investment Management, a $26 billion manager of global equities that he joined when it was a $200 million boutique in 1989.  With so much of the institutional world, including my own training, focused on value investing, I was pleasantly surprised to learn about a large, high performing growth stock manager located in a non-descript building in Laguna Beach, California. Our conversation starts with Paul's trial-by-fire entry into the business and turns to growth stock investing, including defining a great growth company, searching for widening moats, assessing a culture tied to competitive advantage, creating a positive culture, learning from mistakes, identifying tailwinds, and protecting the downside. Paul embodies the principals he preaches and offers some tasty food for thought.

Our second child was in college; we had just one left at home. And honestly, I hadn't totally figured out the adjusted grocery needs at our house. I always made sure we had plenty of quick breakfast food around. We needed that because of our crazy lifestyle. And because I hadn't figured out the new math for our new family configuration, I bought way too many donuts or muffins or bagels or whatever a few times. When that happened they sat around a lot longer and they turned a little dry, a little tough, and then they got a little hard. But that's where the microwave comes to the rescue. You pop them in, you warm them up briefly, and what was hard turns soft. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "How to Warm a Hard, Old Heart." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Romans 1, beginning at verse 21: "For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to Him. But their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man, and birds, and animals and reptiles." That's a pretty sad testimony here to the downward spiral of people getting away from God. No one starts out real far from God; we go through stages of getting away. The Bible says, "We wander away like sheep." So, first of all, you start thinking confusing thoughts. It says their thoughts became futile, and then your heart gets darker and your heart gets harder. You hardly even realize it. And then you start to get all full of yourself. It says here that they claimed to be wise and became fools. Well pretty soon you end up worshiping earth stuff rather than worshiping the Lord. You didn't mean to get there. You know how it starts? It starts when your heart just begins to get dark and hard. Maybe you could notice that happening to you lately. Now, your actions haven't changed that much, you're still at the meetings, you're singing the songs and you're doing jobs for the Lord. But you get more confused in your thinking and your heart is drying out like my old donuts. You're tougher and you're harder inside. You need to warm up that heart again. How do you do it? Well, the Bible says you do that when you glorify Him as God and give thanks to Him. That's how you keep from having a hard heart. That's the way to soften a brittle heart, to review what God has done for you. Gratitude is the key to attitude. If you're not specifically looking for and saying thanks for all God is doing in your life, your spirit starts to turn sour. Let me suggest a daily thank you agenda. First of all, you start at the cross and just review. Picture yourself there and review what was paid for you and how much you are loved. Then secondly, review the big tapestry that God's been putting together so far in your life. Go back and thank Him for the people, the provisions, the circumstances that He's unfolded so skillfully so far, that He's architected, that He's woven together. It's helpful to look at that big picture that He's been painting. Not just at today's thread, but at the big tapestry. And then, thank Him for His gifts and His interventions in the past 24 hours. Bring your thanks up-to-date. As you get on your knees and you specifically start to review what your Father has done, at the cross, in the tapestry of your life up to this point, and in the last 24 hours, you'll find that toughness, that hardness starting to melt away. Praise and gratitude are like a spiritual microwave. They warm the heart that has gotten hard and they make it soft again.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I talk about what it really means to have a renewed vision. After our third quarter review, I walked through the office with a sense of gratitude and energy. The numbers don't lie, and seeing the results reminded me that momentum is not about luck. It's about intention, consistency, and self-awareness. Renewed Vision Comes From the Work What I felt that day wasn't just pride. It was clarity. The kind of clarity that comes when you stop waiting for inspiration and start doing the work that produces it. Momentum fades when we tie our energy only to our results. If we aren't producing, we lose our drive. But if we focus on becoming better on building a career instead of chasing a moment that energy renews itself. Every agent goes through highs and lows. The difference between those who stay in the game and those who fall off is their ability to renew that vision. To say, “I'm not starting over. I'm beginning again with more knowledge, more experience, and more perspective.” What You Stop Doing and What You Need to Start Doing During our third quarter review, I brought in three of our top producers: Rudy, Rio, and Hillary. They shared how they handle slow seasons, and the biggest takeaway was this: they audit themselves. They ask three powerful questions: What did I stop doing that I need to start doing again? What do I need to stop doing that's holding me back? What do I need to start doing that's been on my mind but I haven't executed? Rudy said his biggest issue was losing urgency. From the outside, he still looked productive posting videos, showing up but he knew his intensity was off. That realization alone gave him the spark to change his rhythm. That's what I love about our top producers. They're willing to get in the weeds again. They don't think they're above the grind. They'll roll up their sleeves, work the weekends, rebuild systems, and do what it takes to create momentum. Stop Spectating and Start Creating We can spend so much time watching others that we forget to execute ourselves. It's easy to scroll, compare, and complain but that doesn't close deals. If you find yourself spectating, shift back to creating. If you've been sleeping in, eating junk, or talking yourself out of following up with a lead, start correcting that today. Renewed vision requires physical and mental energy. You can't compete if your body is sluggish and your mindset is negative. Smile more. Appreciate your progress. Stop complaining. Tell your spouse and kids you love them. Gratitude resets your focus faster than any new strategy ever could. Go Deeper Instead of Wider Another point we discussed in our review was the importance of going deeper, not wider. Stop chasing new strangers online and start re-engaging with the people who already know you. Your past clients, your database, your sphere these are your strongest assets. If you're not getting 20 percent of your business from referrals, it's time to evaluate why. Maybe you stopped calling, stopped sending birthday cards, or stopped checking in. These small, intentional actions are what create lasting success. Renewed Vision Means Remembering Who You Are Renewal doesn't mean you're starting from scratch. You already have the experience, the skills, and the track record. You just have to remember why you started. You didn't go through all the hardship just to be average. You didn't sacrifice time with family just to coast. You're here to compete, to grow, and to lead. As we approach the end of the year, this is the time to push. Audit your habits. Ask yourself those questions. Eliminate the distractions. Because what you do today determines how you start 2026. Reader Reflection Questions What is one thing you stopped doing that once brought you success and how can you bring it back starting this week? What habits or distractions do you need to stop that are draining your focus and energy? Who in your sphere do you need to reconnect with today to rebuild momentum for the year ahead? Notable Quotes “Beginning again is not the same thing as starting from scratch.” “Stop spectating and start creating.” “Renewed vision means remembering who you are and what you're made of.” Follow A.Z.

Through faith, honesty, and personal reflection, she reminds listeners that elevation isn't just about advancement—it's about alignment, pruning, and perseverance.Takeaway Reflection Segment “Promotion isn't just proof of progress—it's the pressure that shapes purpose.

I showed up to my first member-guest at Tampa Palms sick, under-prepared, and running on caffeine, ibuprofen, and grit—and still found a way to win our flight and taste the shootout. In this raw recap, I walk you through the chaos (slow play, no warm-up, rules hiccups), the lows (bunker disasters), and the highs (clutch sand save on the final hole). You'll hear exactly how I managed energy, self-talk, and strategy when my plan went to zero—and how those same mindset levers translate to your next round and your business. In this episode, you'll learn: How to manage expectations and energy when your prep falls apart The mindset shift that helped me play calm golf while feeling physically awful How to simplify focus and stay composed through delays, chaos, and pressure What poor communication (and one painful scoring mistake) taught me about teamwork The mental difference between avoiding a weakness and training through it Why gratitude is the fastest way to reset mid-round and regain confidence How emotional awareness off the course—like parenting guilt or stress—affects your game and composure on it Buckle up for an exciting, relatable ride navigating plenty of highs and lows during an epic Member-Guest weekend.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Key Takeaways: Control the controllables, shrink the focus. Limited energy forced me to narrow attention to a few keys—hydration, tempo, target. Gratitude regulates performance. A 60-second gratitude reset shifted me from frustration to neutral and sparked a strong finish. Communication is strategy. Score-checking and slowing down on tap-ins would've saved a hole; over-communicate under stress. Bunker avoidance isn't a plan. Weakness avoidance became a liability; targeted reps + one committed technique are mandatory. Course management beats ego. Long irons and conservative lines kept us in play and in matches—even without driver. Blissful boredom wins. Treat each shot as routine; remove drama to keep execution steady through delays and chaos. Team > hero shot. Celebrate partners' contributions as much as your clutch moments; it strengthens trust when it matters. Key Quotes: "I had zero energy—so I spent it on the only three things that moved the needle." "Gratitude was my reset button; it pulled me from anger back to neutral." "Avoiding a weakness is not a strategy—it's a ticking time bomb." "When the day goes sideways, shrink the goal to one shot and one breath." "Over-communicate scores under pressure; assumptions are expensive." "Blissful boredom is a superpower—routine drains the drama out of big moments." "Winning our flight wasn't one swing; it was two teammates honoring their roles."

In this episode Your Week with St. Luke's, we're invited to reflect on how gratitude shapes the way we lead—in our church, families, workplaces, and community, as we kick off a new series called Lead Courageously with Gratitude. Through the lens of Israel's crossing of the Jordan, Pastor Jad unpacks the book of Joshua as a theological reflection on covenant faithfulness, remembrance, and the living presence of God. The episode challenges us to identify our own “stones of remembrance,” the moments and people who have shaped our faith, and to consider how our gratitude today can give courage to the next generation.   Find encouragement and connection at https://www.livetherhythm.app/

This morning, as we celebrate Commitment Sunday, we will conclude our series on generosity, Growing in Gratitude, by turning to 1 Corinthians 4:1–5, where Paul reminds us that we are “stewards of the mysteries of God.” In worship, we will consider how gratitude itself grows within us—nourished by the Spirit—as we learn to faithfully steward not only our financial gifts, but every good gift God has given. Whether in-person, online, or on the radio, join us as we celebrate the abundance of God's grace and dedicate ourselves anew to God's mission in the world. Sermon on 1 Corinthians 4:1-5, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on October 26th, 2025.

LESSON 299Eternal Holiness Abides In Me.My holiness is far beyond my own ability to understand or know. Yet God, my Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our Will, together, understands it. And our Will, together, knows that it is so.Father, my holiness is not of me. It is not mine to be destroyed by sin. It is not mine to suffer from attack. Illusions can obscure it, but can not put out its radiance, nor dim its light. It stands forever perfect and untouched. In it are all things healed, for they remain as You created them. And I can know my holiness. For Holiness Itself created me, and I can know my Source because it is Your Will that You be known.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

What if 5 minutes could completely shift your perspective from overwhelm to peace?

You get up, you get breakfast ready, and your kids come in complaining, complaining, complaining. All of a sudden, someone spilled their milk, and the phone is buzzing, and before you realize it, you are mentally listing everything that's wrong.I'm going to share a way to flip the switch in your head and get back into a place of peace, a place of gratitude. Today, we are talking about changing complaining to thankfulness, to gratitude. I'm going to be giving you several gratitude examples along the way.Abraham Lincoln's Example During America's Darkest HourLet's start with Abraham Lincoln. Back in 1863, the war between the states was tearing America apart. Families were divided, thousands were dying, no one knew what the future held. And President Lincoln declared a National Day of Thanksgiving.He knew that the attitude of thanksgiving could actually change our country. He wrote, "Year filled with blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies, gracious gifts of Most High God." He was looking to God to say, even though everything around us is falling apart, we are gonna look up, and we are going to say thank you to God.So when everything in your life feels chaotic, you can still choose to focus on God's goodness.The Kitchen Table That Changed EverythingSeveral years ago, I was having a mental-emotional breakdown. In our house, I was walking back and forth, just reeling out in my head all the things I wanted to tell all the people that were giving me a hard time.And all of a sudden, I was like, stop, Kerry. Just stop. I went to the kitchen table, I just grabbed a piece of regular notebook paper, and I started writing down anything I could think of to be thankful for. It could have been a blue sky outside, a hot cup of coffee, I don't know. But I went and just wrote everything down.Got all the way down the list, and even got to the top, and started a second column. Almost to the bottom, I quit thinking about the things that God had given me, things to be thankful for, and I started to write down things about God. I started to praise Him for who He was in my life.By the time I finished that list, peace came over me. There was joy in my heart, because I knew that God was taking care of me, and it really didn't matter about all the craziness.Recognizing the Enemy's AttackMaybe your marriage is falling apart. Maybe you're rejected by your friends, or your mother-in-law's giving you a hard time. Maybe you're just totally overwhelmed, because you got 5 kids under the age of 7, and you're trying to homeschool a few of them.That is the enemy attacking you, and you can change that overwhelmed, rejected attitude to something positive. You need to realize that the negative voice and all those bad things is not yours. It is the enemy attack. He is trying to get you to think about you, your circumstances, instead of God and trusting in a faithful God.It only took me about 5 minutes, my perspective changed, and my heart and soul changed as well. My self-pity changed to praising God for His faithfulness, His character, and His provision that's always there.The Science Behind GratitudeI've been keeping a gratitude journal since about 2010 or 2011. This is actually my second gratitude journal. I actually hit 10,000 items earlier this year, and I know that keeping that journal changes the way I think.It's not just God saying this, which is all that really matters, but there is scientific evidence that gratitude and thankfulness changes the way we think. Research shows that gratitude increases our joy and our contentment. It decreases our anxiety and our depression. It even helps you sleep better and gives you a stronger immune system.If you are stressed out, I highly recommend that every day, you start a gratitude journal.Corrie ten Boom's Gratitude Example: Even for FleasLet's talk about Corrie ten Boom in the middle of World War II. Her family housed Jews up in the attic, and eventually they got caught. Corrie and her sister Betsy were sent to Ravensbrook, one of the worst concentration camps in World War II.The barracks were overcrowded, they were cold, and there were fleas everywhere. Her sister insisted, we have got to thank God for everything, even the fleas. Well, Corrie thought she had lost her mind. Seriously? You want me to say thank you for fleas?Let me tell you, those fleas were a blessing from God. They discovered that those fleas kept the guards away and gave Corrie and Betsy time to share Jesus, to share things about the Bible, to have prayer meetings in their little barracks, without any interruption. Those guards didn't want you talking about God, but they were staying far away from the fleas.Betsy knew something: We can thank God for even the hard times.Finding Blessings in Your Hardest CircumstancesIt's hard to say thank you that someone rejected me, or thank you that I have a child that's not walking with God. You're not thanking Him for that, but we can say, God, thank you for your faithfulness in the midst of this situation.The things that we complain about the most are sometimes blessings in disguise. God uses anything for our good. Over 9 years ago, my husband left, and I would never wish this on anyone. It has been the hardest thing I have ever walked through in my life.But I remember about 2 years ago, I was sitting with my dad, and I said, Dad, I would never wish this on anyone, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am closer to God than I have ever been.That rejection, that hard time, the suffering, the trials that I continue to walk through—when you change your attitude to gratitude, it can sometimes become a blessing, and it is a true blessing.Raising Grateful KidsWhat about my kids? My kids were complaining, everything's falling apart. If you can raise grateful kids, then they will be more satisfied with their life, they will have happier emotions, and they will actually have better mental health.The key is you, Mom. When you are more grateful, your children will express more gratitude. Steve and I said thank you to our kids all the time, and we told our kids to say thank you when they're young. Now, as they grew up, they just naturally said it.I've had parents say, Hunter or Gentry or Ashley, they're the only ones that said thank you for the meal when they came over. That was because we modeled it, and it became a part of who they are in their mind and in their heart.It's not just changing their attitude for today, it's modeling a life skill for children for the rest of their lives.How Gratitude Activates the BrainWhen you are thankful for things, you activate dopamine. Dopamine is that happiness neurotransmitter. As we are grateful, it will happen to us, and as we model it for our kids, it will happen to the kids.Let's face it, it is biblical as well. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God." It is not an option. God's will is for you and me to give thanks.Teaching gratitude to our kids moves them from being entitled to a heart focused on Jesus.George Washington Carver's Daily PracticeGeorge Washington Carver grew up born into slavery in 1864. He was orphaned as an infant, he had a chronic illness, he was denied an education, and yet he grew up to be a celebrated scientist and inventor.He had a daily practice. He would walk in the woods at dawn, and he would look for little bitty things in the woods to say thank you to God. He said, "I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station through which God speaks."When I go for a walk and I hear the birds sing, I'm like, oh, thank you, God. When I walk outside and see a beautiful sunset or sunrise, thank you, God. When I see green leaves on the tree, thank you, God.Do you make it a practice to say thank you all day long? Gratitude in the simple things leads to extraordinary discoveries.Gratitude Is a ChoiceListen, if you're multitasking, come back to me. Gratitude does not require perfect circumstances. It's a choice that opens our eyes to the possibilities of what is out there.Practical Ways to Practice Gratitude DailyI suggest daily thank God for at least one thing in your life, or your family, or your kids. Your family and kids should start to participate. Model your attitude of gratitude, and let them see that you keep a gratitude journal. Rest in God—He is always in control, no matter what your circumstances are.Find something that you already do every day. Like, we ate meals together. So maybe you keep all the gratitude challenges at the meal table, and after breakfast, lunch, or dinner, everyone writes one thing down that they are thankful for.Maybe it's during your morning time, basket time, whatever that family time is. It only takes—it didn't even take 5 minutes sometimes. Each person can share what they're thankful for, and you can write that down.With preschoolers, you can use prompts, and they can just tell it to you, you can write it down. Maybe if they're able to draw a picture, they just keep a little notebook of everything that they're thankful for. As they get older, they can actually write words.With older kids, I would encourage them to write at least 3 things daily. That changes the neurons in your head and the way you think, because you are changing from negative, complaining thinking to positive, thankful thinking.Anchor Your Practice in ScriptureChoose one Bible verse about thanksgiving and practice it all of November. You could use 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God." Simple.Practice it at the dinner table every single night. Say it together, let them take turns saying it, whatever the verse is. This will anchor your gratitude practice, your gratitude actions in God's Word.It also teaches our kids to focus on Jesus and what He's doing, not just positive thinking. This isn't all about positive thinking. This is about following God, because we know that Jesus and the Holy Spirit is what can change what's inside.Start Today, Not When Crisis HitsDon't wait for crisis, like I did that time, to start practicing gratitude.

How divine joy, proper order, and spiritual discernment deepen fellowship and faith.We explored the profound joy God takes in atonement, focusing on the doctrines of propitiation, substitution, and reconciliation through Christ. We discussed how salvation reveals the Father's joy and the unity of the Trinity in redemption. Through Romans 5:11 and Luke 15, we reflected on God's grace, the humility of repentance, and the misunderstanding of divine love. The meeting then turned to the believer's growth in understanding good and evil—contrasting fleshly knowledge with spiritual discernment in Christ. Edward emphasized the need for order, humility, and discipline within the local church, where preparation begins at home and reverence shapes worship. The gathering concluded with gratitude for fellowship, spiritual oversight, and God's faithfulness in providing for the assembly's needs.Themes:God's joy in atonement through propitiation, substitution, and reconciliation (Romans 5:11; Luke 15)The Father's delight in salvation reveals the unity of the Trinity in love and purposeThe elder son's attitude mirrors self-righteous misunderstanding of grace and God's sovereignty (Luke 15)Knowledge of good and evil is experienced either through the flesh or through Christ (Genesis 3; 2 Corinthians 10)Carnal believers live according to the flesh while positionally in Christ—growth requires spiritual renewalOrder and preparation in the home reflect proper church order and the Spirit's peace (1 Corinthians 14:33, 40)Humility, reverence, and silence before the Word reveal submission to God's authority (1 Timothy 2:8–12)Giving supports those who teach the Word rather than material structures (Hebrews 13:17; 1 Timothy 5:1, 17–18)Fellowship strengthens protection and accountability within the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:16)Gratitude and submission to spiritual leaders demonstrate maturity and unity in God's loveScripture References: Romans 5:11; Luke 15; Genesis 3; 2 Corinthians 10; 1 Corinthians 14:33, 40; 1 Timothy 2:8–12; Hebrews 13:17; 1 Timothy 5:1, 17–18; Ephesians 4:16Reflection Question: Do I find my joy where God finds His—in the work of atonement through Christ—and is my life ordered in a way that reflects His peace, love, and truth?

LESSON 298I Love You, Father, And I Love Your Son.My gratitude permits my love to be accepted without fear. And thus am I restored to my Reality at last. All that intruded on my holy sight forgiveness takes away. And I draw near the end of senseless journeys, mad careers and artificial values. I accept instead what God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I will be saved; sure that I go through fear to meet my Love.Father, I come to You today, because I would not follow any way but Yours. You are beside me. Certain is Your way. And I am grateful for Your holy gifts of certain sanctuary, and escape from everything that would obscure my love for God my Father and His holy Son.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this solo episode, I dig into one of the most crucial parenting challenges—helping our kids face their fears and build real, lasting confidence. From sports pressure to academic stress to the emotional struggles they often keep bottled up, our kids are living in a high-pressure world. And as fathers, it's our job to create a space where they feel safe, heard, and guided—not just fixed.   I share a recent emotional conversation with my own son that completely reframed how I approach fear with my kids. You'll hear practical scripts, parenting frameworks, and validation tools that you can immediately use to strengthen your relationship and lead your kids through difficult emotions—while empowering them to lead themselves.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS   [0:00] – Introduction [1:47] – The “scary” reality kids face daily [3:16] – Gratitude for the community + book update [5:03] – Announcing the next live cohort: Overcoming Roommate Syndrome [9:12] – What fear looks like in your child's world [10:17] – Why asking for permission to talk matters [12:14] – My son's moment of vulnerability on the football field [14:00] – Helping kids name fear and remove shame [15:15] – Shifting identity from failure to effort [16:23] – Creating micro-wins to reinforce confidence [17:41] – Reminding your kids they are already brave [18:08] – Why praising effort beats praising results [19:30] – Free resource: “Questions for the Car” [21:54] – Final thoughts and wrap-up       5 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Validate Before You Advise Asking your child for permission to talk, rather than jumping into correction or pep talks, shows respect and builds trust. Kids don't want quick fixes—they want to feel seen. 2. Name the Fear to Dismantle the Shame Fear loses power when it's named out loud. Helping your child articulate what they're afraid of creates emotional distance from the fear and invites clarity. 3. Reinforce Identity Through Effort, Not Outcome Focus on who your child is becoming through their effort—not whether they win or lose. This reinforces growth and helps them detach from external validation. 4. Small Wins Build Big Confidence Kids don't need giant leaps to feel successful. Celebrating the little wins builds momentum and reinforces the belief that they can handle what life throws at them. 5. Your Voice Becomes Their Inner Voice How you speak to your kids—especially when they're struggling—directly influences how they'll talk to themselves when you're not around. Lead with empathy, patience, and strength.         LINKS & RESOURCES: Car Ride Questions for Kids: thedadedge.com/kidquestions Get the Book + Free Courses: https://thedadedge.com/legendarybook Episode Show notes: thedadedge.com/1392     If this episode helped you better understand how to guide your child through fear and build real connection, please rate, follow, and share the show.

When the world feels heavy, choosing joy can sound naïve. We think it's the most practical move you can make. In this heartfelt episode, we share how a brutal “year of authenticity” led to a bold decision to claim a “year of joy,” and why that choice reshaped daily life. You'll hear a reading from Small Pearl's Big Wisdom titled We Will Have Joy, then we unpack how gratitude and delight fade without tending, and how to bring them back through simple, repeatable practices.We explore joy as medicine for the soul: the counterweight that steadies your nervous system and expands your perspective during hard seasons. From dance rehearsals that dissolve stress in minutes to tiny present-moment miracles like a dog napping belly-up, we show how nothing outside needs to change for your inner state to shift. Joy doesn't erase facts; it equips you to meet them with more compassion, creativity, and clarity. You'll learn how to set morning intentions, close your day with a quick “what was joyful” check, and use movement, nature, and mindful naming to anchor goodness in real time.This conversation is for anyone who feels stretched thin yet wants a grounded way back to aliveness. We make the case that joy is not a reward for finishing the hard work; it's the fuel that makes the hard work possible. Walk away with practical tools to cultivate joy now, not “someday,” and a gentle nudge to claim even a few drops on the toughest days.

When you buy something, it's a simple transaction—money goes out, and something tangible comes back in. But giving is different. Scripture tells us that when we give, we also receive—but not always in the way we expect. The return God promises isn't measured in bank balances or possessions. It's measured in freedom, joy, and purpose.Many people hear the phrase “give to receive” and imagine a divine transaction: give to God or others, and blessings—perhaps even financial—will return. But biblically, generosity is never a get-rich scheme. It's an invitation to live the kind of life God designed for us—a life marked by open hands and open hearts.God's Kingdom Is Not a Vending MachineSome interpret verses like Luke 6:38 (“Give, and it will be given to you”) as a spiritual formula: “If I give, God owes me something.” But this is a distortion of Jesus' teaching. God isn't running a cosmic vending machine where our dollars purchase His favor.Instead, He invites us to live differently—to find life not in what we keep but in what we release. If money itself were the ultimate reward, God would be reinforcing the very idol He seeks to break in our hearts. Jesus reminds us in Luke 12:15, “One's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” That truth echoes through every page of Scripture: generosity is not about loss—it's about liberation.What We Actually Receive When We GiveSo, if giving isn't transactional, what does Scripture say we receive in return? The Bible highlights three beautiful gifts that generosity brings.1. We Receive FreedomMoney has a unique power to capture our hearts. Jesus warned, “You cannot serve God and money” (Matthew 6:24). Every act of generosity is a declaration of allegiance: we are not owned by our wealth. Giving loosens money's grip and frees us to serve a greater Master.2. We Receive JoyIn Acts 20:35, Paul quotes Jesus saying, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” True joy doesn't come from what we accumulate—it comes from participating in God's generosity. John Bunyan put it this way: “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”3. We Receive PurposeWhen we give, we join God's mission in the world. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:11, “You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way.” The goal isn't self-enrichment—it's being a conduit of blessing. Generosity connects our story to God's story, reminding us that every resource we have is meant to reflect His generous heart.Giving Flows from GraceIf we're honest, our motives for giving can become mixed. We might give to feel good, earn approval, or to gain favor with God. But the gospel frees us from all of that. Ephesians 2:8–10 makes it clear: we're saved by grace, not by works. Our generosity is not a means of earning God's love—it's a response to already having it.Once we understand that truth, giving transforms from obligation into worship. We don't give to get something back. We give because we've already received everything in Christ.At the center of our faith stands Jesus—the One who gave everything. Paul captures it beautifully in 2 Corinthians 8:9:“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you by His poverty might become rich.”Jesus didn't give to gain something for Himself. He gave because of love. Through His sacrifice, we received reconciliation with God and eternal life in His Kingdom—riches far beyond material wealth.When our giving mirrors His, our motivation becomes love, not return. And in that kind of giving, we experience the true riches of life in Christ.Living With Open HandsEven when generosity brings blessing, the return is never shallow or predictable. We don't give to multiply our possessions—we give to multiply love, freedom, and trust.Every act of giving draws us deeper into God's life—freeing us from greed, filling us with joy, anchoring us in purpose, and reminding us that He is our ultimate treasure.The world says, “Give so you can get.” The gospel says, “Give because you've already been given everything.”When we live with open hands, we discover that the richest life is the one fully surrendered to God.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife had student loans before we got married, and the balance has now grown to about $65,000. I didn't realize how much debt she had until recently, and it's been hard to manage on our income—especially since her payments are currently set to $0 through an income-based repayment plan. How should we approach this situation, and what can we do to manage or reduce this debt given our financial limitations?I've been giving to my church using funds from my Required Minimum Distribution, even though I'm still working. Someone recently asked why I'm taking RMDs if I'm not yet required to. Do I have to take RMDs from my retirement plan while I'm still employed, or do the rules only apply to my IRA?I have both a Roth IRA and a brokerage account that I'd like to transfer to a new investment firm. The accounts have been open for more than five years. If I move my Roth IRA, does that five-year clock restart, or does the time I've already had it stay intact?I recently received an inheritance of about $200,000 after my father's passing. My mortgage balance is around $175,000. I don't have any other debt, but I do have five kids at different stages of life, including some in college, and I haven't saved much for retirement. Should I use the inheritance to pay off the mortgage and invest the remaining amount, or keep the mortgage and invest the entire amount for the future? What's the best move for my family right now?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

A daily quote to inspire the mind, gratitude to warm the soul, and guided breathing to energize the body. Quote: “Founders only sell [their company] when they have no more concrete visions for the company, in which case the acquirer probably overpaid; definite founders with robust plans don't sell, which means the offer wasn't high enough. When Yahoo! offered to buy Facebook for $1 billion in July 2006, I thought we should at least consider it. But Mark Zuckerberg walked into the board meeting and announced: “Okay, guys, this is just a formality, it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. We're obviously not going to sell here.'” - Peter Theil Gratitude: Keyboard Shortcuts Guided Breathing: Equal Breathing.

In this episode of Life Rewired, Kristina explores what it truly takes to create lasting transformation and why it all starts in your mind. So many people focus on perfect workouts or dialed-in nutrition, but real change doesn't stick until your mindset shifts. You can't build a new body or a new life from the same identity that created the old one.Kristina breaks down the five mindset shifts that lead to real, lasting transformation, the kind that not only changes how you look, but who you become in the process. She begins by explaining why you have to believe before you see it, because belief creates evidence, not the other way around. Every time you show up and follow through on a commitment, even when motivation is low, you're proving to yourself that you can be trusted and that's where confidence is built.Next, she unpacks why consistency will always beat intensity. Transformation doesn't come from doing everything at once; it comes from doing the right things, consistently, for long enough to let them compound. Kristina also shares how one of the simplest mindset shift, changing “I have to” into “I get to” can completely transform how you experience discipline. Gratitude turns effort into opportunity, and when you start enjoying the process, you stop needing constant motivation to show up.True change happens when you start living in integrity with your goals and act like the person you want to become now. This week, she challenges you to pick one mindset shift and apply it in your daily life, whether it's reframing a workout, catching a negative thought, or simply celebrating consistency. Because when you rewire your mind, you rewire your entire life! WATCH ON YOUTUBE:⁠https://www.youtube.com/@kristinaturnure/podcasts⁠BALANCED BLUEPRINT MEMBERSHIP:https://builtgroupcoaching.my.canva.site/balancedblueprintBUILT AND BALANCED VIP COACHING:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScV_IGO2VhRV415iIsiHz6TGr76wuH-loG2eGt068pZG474qw/viewform BUILT & BALANCED NEWSLETTER:⁠⁠⁠https://builtandbalanced.kit.com/dd0f3197cc⁠⁠⁠LIFE REWIRED IG:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/LIFEREWIREDPODCAST/?utm_medium=copy_link⁠⁠KRIS IG:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristinaturnure/?hl=en⁠⁠NASH BARS:https://nashnutrition.co/PTULA: DISCOUNT CODE KRISTINAT https://www.ptula.com/KOIA PROTEIN: CODE KRISTINA https://drinkkoia.superfiliate.com/KRISTINA

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore the science of gratitude and how to develop an effective, research-supported gratitude practice. I explain why common gratitude practices (like simply listing things you're grateful for) are far less impactful than engaging in story-based gratitude practices. I also explain how being grateful activates specific brain regions, which enhance calm, social connection and motivation, while reducing anxiety and inflammation. Finally, I share why we can't simply trick our brains into feeling grateful and describe a practical weekly gratitude practice that will improve both your mental and physical well-being.

What if a powerful and profound therapy session happened without saying a single word—just by standing in a field with a 1,200-pound mirror? In this deeply personal solo episode of HEAL with Kelly, I take you inside my transformative equine therapy session, where the horses became profound teachers of authenticity, protection, boundaries, and emotional release. You'll hear how one horse reflected back my inner critic, how another embodied a protective masculine energy I had never fully experienced before, and how these encounters helped me release grief, regulate my nervous system, and reconnect with my essence of joy and awe. Beyond the corral, I guide you through my process of conscious creation — from gratitude journaling to visualization practices, to the simple yet powerful phrase “Just Imagine.” You'll learn how imagination, elevated emotion, and gratitude combine to rewire the brain, shift your biochemistry, send new information into the invisible field around you, and open you up to new dimensions of infinite possibility. We'll explore how frustration, control, and timelines can block manifestation and why the key is to trust the field, not the how. I also share personal stories of loss, alignment, and rediscovery, revealing how consistent healing work and faith in divine intelligence create space for true miracles. This episode is for anyone ready to reclaim their creative power, elevate their vibration, and remember that when we align with joy and truth, life shows up in the most miraculous and beautiful ways.  Key Moments You'll Love ✨:
