AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Open up those Bibles to Matthew chapter 6, and we're going to be picking up in verse 25.We're in the greatest sermon ever preached, the Sermon on the Mound.And in this section that we're in here, Jesus is talking about how His followers should relateto the world.And as Pastor Taylor prayed a moment ago, the subject that our Lord covers is worry.Do not be anxious.I've shared this story with you in past time, but I couldn't help but thinking about itall week this week.Many years ago I was at the doctor, and the PA comes in and slaps on the blood pressurecuff, you know, and was taking my blood pressure.And I remember the PA, she just looked at me and her eyes were huge.She goes, "You feeling okay?"And I'm like, "Yeah, I feel good."She says, "We need to talk to the doctor."I said, "What's going on?"She said, "Your blood pressure is critically high."And then she left the room.So I sat there for what felt like an eternity, looking back at my life, regrets.And then thinking about the future, you know, am I about to drop over dead?What's going to happen to my family?What's going to happen to the ministry?What's going to...Well, the doctor eventually came in, first words out of his mouth.He says, "Buddy, we got to talk about this blood pressure."I said, "Yeah, I know your physician's assistant said it wasn't good."He goes, "Oh, it is not good."Then he looked over at the counter behind him.He said, "Is that the cuff that she used to take your blood pressure?"And I said, "Yeah."He says, "Oh, that's for little kids.He has no one to your blood pressure so high."So he got a big boy blood pressure cuff and took it.And I lived to fight another day.But I got to tell you, and that time when the physician's assistant left the room andthe doctor came in, I don't know if in my life I've ever felt such worry.But some people, sadly, live in that zone.Or it's just worry, anxious.That's what we're going to look at today.What is worry?What is anxiety?Well, it's defined as an uneasiness about the future.That's an understatement.It's that, what might happen?What might not happen?Worry has a way of consuming your thoughts.Worry has a way of keeping you from sleeping.Worry for some of you has you stop eating.And for some of you, you can't stop eating.So on the top of your outline, you'll see a line, "I am worried about..."I just want you to take a minute.Write down the thing in your life that makes you anxious.Or write down what it is in your life where you are most tempted to worry.And if you're like, "Well, Pastor Jeff, I never worry about anything."Well come and see me after service because I've never met such a person.And I would love to.But what is the thing that you are most tempted to worry about?Write that down.Maybe for some of you, you are worried right now.Write that down.Alright, we're in church right now, so I'm going to ask a question.You give me the Sunday school answer.Are we supposed to worry?We're not.It's really easy to say in here right now, isn't it?After worship, after prayer.But we're going to leave here and many of you are going to worry and you are going to justifyyour worry.It's funny how that's a sin that we're all so eager to justify.And we say things like, "We just sort of..."Try to make it sound like it's not a thing, right?We're like, "Oh, I'm just a worrier."Right?"Oh, you know, I've just stopped the bothers me because I'm a worry wart."But you know, if you really grab what Jesus has to say in this passage about worry, ifyou've ever referred to yourself as a worry wart, you're going to be pretty embarrassedthat you've ever called yourself that.You might say, "Well, yeah, yeah, Pastor Jeff, I'm not worried about stupid things,right?I'm not worried about trivial things.My worries are over legit needs."Okay?Well, let's see what our Lord has to say.Look at verse 25 in Matthew chapter 6.Jesus says, "Therefore, I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you willeat or what you will drink nor about your body, what you will put on.Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?"Notice Jesus is talking about legit needs.You see that?Food and water and clothes, legit needs.And keep in mind the people that Jesus was talking to, in this day they didn't have theWalmarts.Think of food, right?How did they get their food?They had to grow it or they had to go to the market and hope that there was still somethingthere to buy.Right?Think about water.They didn't go to the kitchen sink and just flick their wrists and have water appear outof the tap.And they lived in a climate that made having clean drinking water absolutely crucial.And their clothes, again, they didn't have closets and storage.And they usually had to make their clothes.So when you consider their culture, you would note obviously it was much easier for themto be tempted to worry.I was thinking about that this week.You know, if we had a time machine and we could bring somebody from Jesus' day to ourday.I think they would be absolutely baffled at the things that we worry about.And someone's going to say, "Well, Pastor Jeff, how can I not worry?I mean, look at the environment that kids are growing up in today.Look at the economy.How can I not be worried about money?What about my health?You know what's going on health-wise.How can I not be worried about that?"You know, they're eliminating positions where I work.I might be next and I might not have an income.How can I not worry about that?You just can't help it, right?And you would say, "Well, you know, Pastor Jeff, I remember, you said in the past time,you've said feelings are feelings.Right?You can't help how you feel."That's true.But we talk about worry.This isn't about feelings.This is about a choice.Because your feelings are going to change if your focus changes.And what you focus on is your choice.What you focus on affects everything.Three times in this passage, Jesus gives the command, "Therefore, do not be worriedand anxious."He says it in verse 25.He says it in verse 31.He says it in verse 34.And each time Jesus says it, He gives a reason why we in turn must say, "I refuse to worry."You ready to say that?All right?We're going to take a run at it.I want you to say that.I refuse to worry.Not much conviction from some of you.I'm hoping that maybe in a few minutes we can change your mind about that.I refuse to worry.Why?Number one, right?Just done.I refuse to worry because of who my Father is.Let's pick up here, verses 26 through 30.Jesus says, "Look at the birds of the air.They neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them."Are you not of more value than they?And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to a span of life?And why are you anxious about clothing?Because they are the lilies of the field, how they grow.They neither toil nor spin.Yet I tell you, even Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these.But if God so closed the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is throwninto the oven, will He not much more clothe you?Oh, you of little faith?This is where Jesus starts.I refuse to worry because of who my Father is.And He gives a couple obvious illustrations, right?He says, "Look at the birds.God feeds them."Oh, by the way, God doesn't drop the food into their nest, right?For those of you who might think, "Oh, okay, well I can just go home and sit down and donothing, and God will just door-dash me every day for the rest of my life."No, that's not how it works.Work is the God-ordained way that He feeds us, right?That's another serving for another time.But the birds are fed.And Jesus says, "Notice the flowers are dressed despite their very short life."So He talks about the birds.He talks about the lilies.And it's really the same point.God values His people more than anything on this earth.This is Jesus' point.God values you.Listen, God values you.More than anything on this earth, He values you.Not convinced of that.Well, let me ask you, when you look at all of the stuff created on the earth, what ismade in the image of God?There's only one thing on this planet that is said to have been made in the image ofGod with God's fingerprint, His likeness stamped on.And that is you.Not the dogs, not the goldfish, not the trees.You are made in His image.What is it on this planet right now that God sent His Son to die on the cross for?Jesus didn't die for the cats.Jesus didn't die for the parakeets.God bought you with His Son.Oh, and speaking of sons, what is it on this planet that is said to be adopted by God?God doesn't run down to the humane society and adopt a dog through the death and resurrectionof Jesus Christ to those who believe God adopted you.Are you starting to see your value here?Oh, oh, and what is it on the earth that God says is going to spend eternity in glory withHim?There's only one thing.You.You.You do understand now you have incredible value to God.And by the way, Jesus is obviously addressing believers here.Those who have turned from their sin, those who have received and believed in Jesus Christ,He's talking to believers because He says, "You're heavenly Father.Jesus says believers, if your heavenly dad gave you life, he's going to take care ofit."I refuse to worry because of who my father is.You know, a couple of weeks ago, my son, Cade, works at Chick-fil-A across the street.A couple of weeks ago, I pulled in to pick him up and it was hot.I had the windows down.I was sitting there waiting and there was a guy walking around the front sidewalk bythe entrance door and he was on the phone.Now listen, I wasn't eavesdropping.This guy was talking so loud I could have heard him from Zileanopoul.All right?This guy was walking around and using some choice words that we don't use while we preach.He was complaining obviously about something that happened in his interaction in the restaurant,in the Chick-fil-A.So he's walking around and he's like, "This is... this is..."Explodedly deleted.He goes, "I'm going in there to cuss somebody out."And he heads towards the door.So I'm like, "Here we go."Shut off the Jeep and I followed him in so close that he held the door open for me.He walked into the lobby.There were no customers there.Rare timing, Chick-fil-A.He walks into the lobby and stands there for a second and he turns around and sees me lookingat him and then he just leaves.Well Cade's standing there and Cade's like...Then I leave and Cade's like, "What was that all about?"Right?So Cade comes out into the car and he's like, "Why did you just come into Chick-fil-A?"And I said, "Well, did you see that guy that came in ahead of me?"He said he was coming in to cuss somebody out.Now look, I know my son and I know the last thing he would ever do is intentionally offenda stranger.I said, "That guy said he was going to come in to cuss somebody out."So I was going to make sure that that wasn't you.Cade's like, "What were you going to do?"Like throw him out the window.He could just roll right onto the hospital.I said, "But I was not going to let him cuss you out."And Cade said, "You would do that for me?"Like, "Would I do that for you?""Yes, yes I would do it."I'm like, "How could you even ask that question?"I would do anything for you, including take a beating in Chick-fil-A.I would do anything for you.And listen, if I thought dude was going in there after somebody else, I never would havegot out of the car.Not my business.But my son, oh no.That is not going to happen.I would do anything to provide for my son.I would do anything to protect my son.And when Cade's like, "You'd do that for me?"All I could think of was, "Do you have any idea how much your father loves you?"And that's exactly what Jesus is saying here."Worryer?"That's what Jesus is saying.You're worried?Do you have any idea how much your father loves you?And you're worried that you're not going to be taken care of?You don't know how much you mean to him.Like, well how much?How much?I think there's one verse more than any in the Bible that tells us how much it's Romans8.32.Can we get that on the screen?It says, "God, He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all."How will He not also with Him graciously give us all things?I wouldn't give up my son for any of you.I wouldn't give up my son for all of you.But God gave up His Son to death so that you can be saved.And that's what Paul was saying in Romans, and this is the truth that Jesus is sayinghere."If God gave you His Son, it's proof He's going to give you everything else that youneed."I refuse to worry because of who my father is.And let's see in verse 30, Jesus says, "O you of little faith."See, that's the issue.Look, some of you have little faith.Some of you do have faith enough to be saved, but you need to grow up.And you know why you're worried?The reason you're so worried all the time is you haven't really reckoned with the implicationsof what your salvation means.Your father loves you, and your father has a concern for you.Your father has a personal interest in what happens in your life.And the way a parent does for their kid, but not someone who's not their kid.You know what I mean by that?Because parents here today, whose kid do you make sure eats?Yours, right?How many times have you wondered in the past week if my kids have eaten?You're like, "Not at all."Right?Whose kids do you make sure have clothes?Yours.Right?Whose kid do you make sure brushes their teeth?So parents, what would you say to your kids?What would you say to your kids, parents, if you're home someday and you could hear yourkid in the next room pacing and worrying saying, "What if mom isn't going to feed me tomorrow?"What would you say?What would you say if you heard your kid in the next room going, "I'm really growing.What if I grow out of these clothes and dad doesn't buy me new clothes?"What would you say?That's Jesus' point.When you worry, you're acting like you forget who your father is.You're demonstrating, in the words of our Lord, little faith.Oh, speaking of faith, I refuse to worry, number two, because of my faith.I refuse to worry because of my faith.Look at verse 31.Says it again.Here we go."Do not be anxious saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'Whatshall we wear?'For the Gentiles seek after all these things.And your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will beadded to you."The Gentiles seek after all these things, obviously in this context.Jesus is using the word "Gentile" as it was commonly used in that day to refer to aheathen, in other words, somebody who doesn't know God.Right?So Jesus is saying that when I worry, I act like I don't have faith.See people who don't have faith, they just go after all the stuff.Right?It's all about me.People that don't have faith, honestly they live no different than an animal.An animal only thinks about getting needs met, right?Hungry, thirsty, tired.Like I live with animals, right?That's all they do.What they're thinking about is getting their next physical need met.When you don't have faith, that's how you are.Verse 25, Jesus said, as we already read, "Isn't life more than the physical child of God?Isn't your life about more than physically surviving, isn't it?"And when Jesus was tempted by the devil, remember what he said, "Man shall not liveby bread alone."Isn't that a statement of faith?Again, we talked about this last week, but this is exactly why people store treasureon earth.This life is all there is.I've got to make the most out of it.I've got to get what I can here now.Child of God, aren't you supposed to be different than them?Aren't you supposed to be salt and light?Do people see that in the way that you live, in the way that you talk, in the way thatyou refuse to worry?Look at verse 32 again.Jesus says your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.Your unsafe friends, your unsafe family, do they know that you know that your Father knowsand you know that He knows?Yeah.Do you say, "Well, I'm in need of something, but it's okay.My Father knows what I need, and He's going to provide it when He knows that I need it."That's faith.That's what faith looks like.And if you're right now, right now at this point in your life, if you're in a place ofneed, if you're in a place where God has to show up and provide, you're in a place ofwant, guess what?As a child of God, that means you have a front row seat to see God at work.Because according to Jesus, He already knows.So we've sort of taken the sin of worry, and in our minds, that's like a minor league sin,right?Oh, there's the big sins like murder and adultery and things like that.But worry, that's kind of a minor league sin, right?No.It's not.Worry strikes at the character and the promises of God.Worry makes some assumptions.Worry assumes that God doesn't know.Worry assumes that God doesn't care.Worry assumes that God is completely unable to provide the thing that I need.Worry is just...It's just...Worry is just bad theology.It shows a complete lack of faith, and Jesus says it makes you no different than an atheist.Are you on your own?You have to fend for yourself?You have to take care of yourself?Or are you a child of God that is richly provided for by your heavenly Father?Which one are you?Like I'm a child of God, right?So why do we worry then?Why do we worry?I'm wrestling with this question.You know, the sort of armchair, you know, psychologist, sociologist that I am.Why do we worry?So I went to that very authoritative source psychology today.I looked it up online.I wanted to see from a secular perspective how worry is defined.And I was blown away.You want to hear?Listen to this.I looked up, why do we worry?According to psychology today, their website says we worry because we have a hard timeliving with uncertainty.I want you to think about that for a second.You have a hard time living with uncertainty.If you're a Christian, what are you uncertain about?Go ahead and shout it out.If you're a Christian, shout out the things that we are uncertain about.Pastor, is there anything?I rack my brain all week.Like surely there has to be something that we are uncertain about.The only thing I can come up with is the time of the return of our Lord.If you're a Christian, you have no uncertainties.If you're a Christian and you're worrying, what you have is a lack of faith.You're like, oh yeah, I know Jeff, but I just, I got this need.I get this really bad need.I've been praying about it and look, I just don't know how God's going to provide.You don't need to know.That's His problem.You know what your problem is?Verse 33, "Let's seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these thingswill be added to you."But you need to worry about us seeking God.You seek the spiritual, He'll provide the physical.Do you see that?Focus on your walk with Christ.Instead of focusing on the stuff and your needs and what's worrying you, Jesus saidyou need to focus on being the person that God wants you to be.He'll draw near to God and He'll draw near to you.And when your heart is so near to the heart of God, you're going to have a worry-freefaith.So do you have that?Do you have a worry-free faith?I'll tell you how you can evaluate it.A worry-free faith shows up in how you pray.How do you pray?You're like, "Well, I really don't.I really don't pray."Okay, then you have no faith.All right, so we'll knock that one off.But if you pray like this, if you pray, "God, I'm desperate and God, I don't know whatI'm going to do, God, and I'm so afraid of what's going to happen tomorrow."That's little faith.But if your prayer sounds like this, "God, I'm seeking you for this and you already knowwhat I need, and I'm trusting that you're going to provide it when I need it."That is a prayer of faith.I'm asking, I'm trusting, I'm believing, but I refuse to worry.Why?Because of my faith.And finally, number three, I refuse to worry because of who my Father is because of myfaith and number three.I refuse to worry because it does no good.It does no good.Look at verse 34."Jesus says, 'Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxiousfor itself.Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.'"And you're like, "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, right there, right there.Tomorrow.Tomorrow.That's what I'm worried about.That's the day that I'm worried about."And Jesus says, "Don't."Why not?Jesus says, "You've got enough trouble today.Can I get an amen?"You mean to tell me you've got nothing going on today that requires your attention?Nothing.And my schedule is clear.There is not a single thing that requires my attention, effort, energy, nothing.You're telling me that tomorrow needs all your attention?Obviously not.Obviously you would say, "Oh, you know what, Jeff, I've really got plenty going on today."And our Lord would say, "Good, go after that.Just go after that."Jesus said, "Tomorrow will be anxious for itself."Some translate that phrase, "Tomorrow," quote, "brings its own anxieties."In other words, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it because I can't cross it now,right?No, not cross that bridge when we come to it.How about cross that bridge if we come to it?When we worry about the future, what we do is we start imagining all these little scenariosthat are surely going to devastate us.What if I get sick?What if I have car trouble?What if I do lose my job?What if ... how much time, my friends, have we wasted worrying about something that neverhappens?That's what our Lord reminds us here in this verse, worry isn't just sinful, it's pointless.There's no upside, it benefits you nothing, it does no good.In fact, Jesus talked about this in verse 27.You can't add to your life by worry, can you?Because nothing good's ever added to the worrier.Nobody in the history of mankind has ever said, "You know what?I am so glad that I worried about that because I worried so hard that it fixed everything."It's pointless.It's pointless to worry about tomorrow because the reality is not everybody gets it tomorrow.You might not have it tomorrow.But if you do, if you do have it tomorrow, tomorrow has literally one guarantee thatyou can take to the bank.And that is this, tomorrow God will be just as much God then as He is today.And if God's word is true and I believe it is, the future is something to be excitedabout, not worry about.Because the Bible says our best days are ahead.All worry does in addition to dishonor the Lord is steal your joy today.It steals your peace today and it ruins your testimony today.Does no good.Far worship team will make their way back up front.Each of us might be feeling really confident right now.But when you leave here, when you walk out those doors, you are going to be tempted toworry about something.Probably not so much here now but home later, yes.I want you to take this outline and I want you to tuck this away in your Bible for later.That little thing you wrote at the top, I'm worried about.No, no, no.Instead what we're going to say is I refuse to worry about this.Why am I not worried about this?Because of who my Father is.That's why.I'm not worried about this because of my faith in that Father.I'm not worried about this because according to Him honestly, it's not going to do anygood anyways.I refuse.I refuse to worry.Let's pray.Father of Heaven, we confess before You that we demonstrate a complete lack of faith whenwe worry.We can come into this room and we can sing about Your power and Your love and Your goodness.But we deny all of those things with our lives when we choose to worry.So Father, I pray that today is a new day.From our brothers and sisters here, the thing that weighs on us, the thing that has keptus up at night, Father, I pray that we would look back at Your faithfulness throughout history.We would look back at Your faithfulness in our own lives.And that thing that burdens us, Father, I just pray that we would do, as Your Word says,that we would cast it at Your feet and we would refuse to worry about it.We pray in Jesus' name.Amen.

Yeah, I turned 50 three years ago... BUT. Everything I said back then?  Still true.  Maybe truer. This encore episode is about what I've learned after five decades of building a life, a business, and a body that BEAT f*cking cancer — and what I REFUSE to do anymore. If you're GRINDING your way to some imaginary finish line… If you're WAITING to enjoy the life you've already built… You NEED to hear this. You're so focused on the end, you're missing the life happening right NOW. Love, Sari    Quote:  “The point is the journey, my friends. It's not where we're headed.

Back in 2006, Kiersten Hathcock was just trying to figure things out. She had left her job at A and E Television Networks a few years before and was bouncing around from town to town with her husband and their two kids.As she was, Kiersten did the very last thing that anyone expected: she founded a children's furniture company called Mod Mom Furniture. Then in 2024, after the brand received international recognition and acclaim from Shark Tank, Elle Décor, Better Homes and Gardens, and more,  she made another unexpected move: she simply walked away.Today, Kiersten is the Chief Marketing Officer at Moonshot. It's a non-profit helping to spur economic development in rural Arizona. But to get there, Kiersten walked on some pretty uneven ground. She navigated a tumultuous appearance on Shark Tank, childhood trauma…even hearing the voices of dead children.This week, I sat down with Kiersten to hear how she went from working in the television industry to building children's furniture by hand in her garage.

If you refuse to lead a dying church, this conversation is for you! Paul Nixon has recently revised his best-selling book "I Refuse to Lead a Dying Church" for the new cultural context in which we find ourselves. In this episode, he offers six choices that churches and church leaders need to make in order to thrive in our post-Covid world. They include the following: choosing life over death; choosing community over isolation; choosing fun over drudgery; choosing bold over mild; choosing frontier over fortress; and choosing now rather than later. The book will be available on May 15. You can also host a book party in person or online by contacting Paul at paulnixon@me.com. Learn more at epicentergroup.org.

It really comes down to you and are you WILLING to do and be better. Are you willing to step up when needed? I realized this YEARS ago, I started getting ready for whatever may be coming because something told me to. When I started this healing journey, I was laughed at, ridiculed, retaliated against, pushed out, so on and so forth. For speaking up and doing the right thing. For doing the Human thing. We still deal with the aftermath of all of this. Which is trauma, emotional and mental distress. But I do not try and stay in this energy. Even though there are forces out here trying to get me to stay at this negative space. I REFUSE to because it doesn't benefit myself, children, or community. We can ALL make choices but my choices are thought about as how is this going to benefit in a POSITIVE way, everyone in this situation. Just because I think like that, does not mean everyone around me thinks like that. It just means I have to be the STRONGER force. Not in an aggressive, destructive way. But in a loving, firm, way. I am not here to destroy, it's NOT my role. But I can't let evil just think they can do what they want because there are STiLL LAWS/RULES to be followed. Whether you like it or not. THIS IS WHY SELF DEVELOPMENT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. When YOU don't work on this, you get issues and people like the ones around us and the ones in charge. Start asking questions, start thinking LOGICALLY. I love you and you got this.

Anxiety can often feel like a relentless storm, clouding your thoughts and overwhelming your sense of calm. It's during these turbulent times that finding the right words can be akin to discovering a lifeline amidst the chaos.  To aid you in navigating these stormy waters, we've curated a list of 20 empowering phrases based on expert advice. These phrases are designed to validate your feelings, soothe your inner critic, fill you with encouragement, and help you respond proactively to anxiety. Here's how you can incorporate them into your life to foster resilience, kindness, and self-compassion. VALIDATE THE DIFFICULTY "This is hard, and it's okay that it's hard for me." Acknowledge the challenge without judgment. "I'm doing the best I can in this moment." Remind yourself of your effort and resilience. "My feelings are valid and understandable." Affirm the legitimacy of your emotions. "I am human, and having a difficult day is okay." Normalize the ups and downs of human experience. "I give myself permission to feel this while being kind to myself." Embrace your feelings with compassion. SOOTHE THE CRITICAL VOICE "This is not my fault." Release unwarranted guilt and blame. "It's okay that I'm not perfect." Celebrate your humanity and imperfections. "It's okay to make mistakes." View errors as opportunities for growth. "My challenges do not define my worth." Separate your worth from your struggles. "May I be gentle with myself as I navigate this difficult season?" Practice self-compassion and kindness. FILL YOURSELF WITH ENCOURAGEMENT "It's a beautiful day to do hard things." Empower yourself to face challenges. "I can tolerate this discomfort." Recognize your strength and resilience. "This anxiety or discomfort will not hurt me." Acknowledge your capacity to withstand anxiety. "Humans are innately resilient." Remind yourself of your inherent ability to overcome adversity. "I am more than my worst days." Focus on the breadth of your life's narrative. GET CLEAR ON YOUR RESPONSE TO ANXIETY "I REFUSE to lead a life based on fear." Commit to acting on your values. "I choose to speak to myself with understanding and patience." Cultivate a compassionate inner dialogue. "I have already chosen how I'm going to respond, and now I'm going to honor that decision." Preemptively decide on positive actions. "I will treat myself with the same kindness that I offer others." Extend your empathy inward. "I'm going to honor my journey and respect my own pace." Accept your unique path and timing. BONUS PHRASE FOR CONTINUOUS SUPPORT "We are just going to take one step at a time." Focus on the present moment to manage overwhelm. These phrases, thoughtfully designed to address different facets of anxiety, are tools at your disposal. Use them to navigate through moments of anxiety, to remind yourself of your strength, and to cultivate a kinder relationship with yourself. Remember, it's not about employing all of them at once but finding the ones that resonate most with you. Anxiety is a complex and deeply personal experience, and thus, your approach to managing it should be equally personalized. Let these phrases be your guide as you continue on your journey toward a more peaceful and empowered state of being. TRANSCRIPTION:  Here are 20 phrases to use when you are anxious. Now I get it, when you're anxious, sometimes it's so hard to concentrate. It's so hard to know where you're going, what you want to do, and it's so easy just to focus on anxiety and get totally stuck in the tunnel vision of anxiety or feel completely overwhelmed by it.  Today, I want to offer you 20 phrases that you can use when you're feeling anxious or experiencing OCD. These are yours to try on and see if you like them. You don't have to use all of them. They're here for you to use as you wish, and hopefully, they're incredibly helpful. All right, my loves, let's talk about the 20 phrases you can use when you're feeling anxious. Now, I have prepared these in four different steps. You can actually go through and pick one or several of these and go through these, write them down, and have them in your pocket or in your wallet, or whatever you want, a sticky note on your fridge to use as you need. These are to help guide you towards a life where you lean into your fear. You treat yourself kindly. You encourage yourself. You champion the direction you want to go in. And my hope is that you can use these in many different scenarios, and they can help you get to the life that you want. Let's go and do it.  The first category is validate the difficulty. Most people, when they're anxious, they get caught up in this wrestle of, “I shouldn't have this. Why do I have it? It's not fair,” and I totally get it. But what we want to do is first validate the difficulty. If you can say that, and you can do that by using one of these five phrases: Number one, “This is hard, and it's okay that it's hard for me.” Again, let's say it together. “This is hard, and it's okay that it's hard for me.” The second phrase that I'm going to offer to you is, “I'm doing the best I can in this moment.” The truth is, you are doing the best you can with what you have and given the circumstances. I want you to remember that as best as you can as well.  Number three, “My feelings are valid and understandable.” If anybody else was in this exact situation, they'd probably be thinking, feeling, and acting in the same way. The fourth one is, “I am human, and having a difficult day is okay.” Not only is it okay, it's normal. Humans have difficult days. This is a total normal part about being human. You might be having an immense amount of anxiety, but please do remember the millions of other human beings around the globe who are having a very similar experience to you. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you.  And then the fifth way I want you to validate the difficulty is to say, “I give myself permission to feel this while being kind to myself.” Remember I said “while.” I give myself permission to feel this way while being still kind to myself.  Let's move on to the second category, which is soothing the critical voice. I know when we have anxiety, we can be really, really hard on ourselves. The phrase I want you to practice or trial is, number one, “This is not my fault.” And it's not your fault. You did not ask for this. You can't stop the fact that your brain sometimes gets hijacked and throws a bunch of anxiety or thoughts, or feelings towards your urges. It is not your fault.  The second one is, “It's okay that I'm not perfect.” Nobody is. We want to remember that this is our first time being a human and we're not going to get it right the first time. It's okay that you're not perfect, nobody is.  You might also want to try the phrase, “It's okay to make mistakes.” That is how I learn and grow. Remember here of all the people who have succeeded in their recovery, or all the people who are succeeding in other areas of their life, they didn't get there because of easy, breezy times. They got there by making mistakes, and they'd keep going and they keep trying, and they'd go again and they go again and they learn and they grow. The next thing you may want to try on, and another phrase you can use is, “My challenges do not define my worth.” You're not either better or worse for having this anxiety. You're not less than or more than depending on whether you have a mental illness or not. Your worth is not something that's up for discussion, and it's not up for measurement. We all have equal worth. And this challenge that you're experiencing or this anxiety you're experiencing does not define your worth.  Now, the last one I want you to practice here, you can actually practice more from a meditation or a meditation practice, which is a practice of loving kindness. We could call it a metta meditation or a loving-kindness meditation. And the goal from this is to actually meditate on sending yourself loving kindness.  Now, if you're someone who wants to learn how to do this, we have an entire meditation vault called the Meditation Vault, where I have created over 30 different meditations for people, specifically with anxiety, to help you practice meditation and learn how to practice loving kindness. You can go to CBTSchool.com to learn more about that. I would, again, need to spend a whole other episode talking to you about that. But if you want to practice the art of sending yourself loving kindness, you can go there to learn more.  But for right now, to finish out this category, what we want to do is practice one of those meditations, which is to offer yourself the phrase, “May I be gentle with myself as I navigate this difficult season?” What we are doing here is we're offering ourselves a promise per se of saying, “May I be gentle with myself?” In a true loving-kindness meditation, often what we do say is, “May I be happy? May I be well? May I live with ease?” And if you particularly like my voice and it feels very soothing to you, all of those meditations are there in the meditation vaul, and we go through that extensively.  The next section is to fill yourself up with encouragement. Now, when we are anxious, it's easy to feel very discouraged and just want to run away and change every part of our plans for the day. But what we want to do is we want to fill yourself up with encouragement. Here are some phrases that you can use to help with that goal.  Number one, you know I'm always going to say this, “It's a beautiful day to do hard things.” We can do hard things. We have to keep repeating this to ourselves. You may even want to add some sass to it and add a little swear word. A lot of my patients have said, “It's a beautiful day to blank hard things.” Now that's okay too. You can sass it up, whatever feels most empowering to you.  Another way you can fill yourself up with encouragement is to offer yourself the phrase, “I can tolerate this discomfort,” because you can, and you have, and you will. “I can tolerate this discomfort.” Another thing you can offer is, “This anxiety or this discomfort will not hurt me. I am stronger than I could ever know.” And the truth is, anxiety does not hurt you. It's uncomfortable, and it's painful. I understand that. But it won't hurt you. It won't damage you. It won't destroy you, that we're stronger than we could ever, ever believe we could be.  The next thing you may offer to yourself, and this is one that I particularly love, is that humans are innately resilient. They do most of their growing through hard things. And I've already mentioned this to you before. Most of the really successful people got there, not because it was easy and breezy; it's because we are resilient, and that's how we grow, and that's how we learn, that we can get through very, very difficult things. And then the last thing is, “I am more than my worst days.” That this might be a difficult day, but I am more than this difficult day. There's a bigger story here for me. This uncomfortable moment or this uncomfortable day is just a part of that story. But the bigger picture is that I am much more than these hard, difficult days.  And then the last category, which you have to also include, is to get very clear on how you are going to respond. This is where we get a little more firm with ourselves in the phrases. You will hear, I get a little sassy myself in this, and we get a little more decisive or confident. Even if you don't feel confident, we want to speak in this confident, assured way.  Number one is, “I REFUSE,” and I've written refuse in capital letters. “I REFUSE.” And I say this to myself, I want you to say this to yourself. “I REFUSE to lead a life based on fear.” I will move forward, acting on my values and my beliefs, and who I want to be. That's the first phrase. And we want to emphasize, “I refuse to act out on this fear.” The second is, “I choose to speak to myself with understanding and patience.” I'm choosing that because it's so easy to fall back into criticism and blame and humiliation and critical self-punishing words. I choose to speak to myself with understanding and patience.  Now, the third one involves you being very proactive. Now, I'll give you the phrase first, and then I'll explain it to you. The phrase is, “I have already chosen how I'm going to respond, and now I'm going to honor that decision.” What I want you to do, if you are someone with anxiety, is to create a plan ahead of time—to have a plan on how you are going to respond to anxiety.  Now, if this is difficult for you, we have two courses that I want you to rely on. Number one is Overcoming Anxiety and Panic, and the other one is ERP School. And that's for people with OCD and health anxiety. If you're someone who struggles with generalized anxiety or panic or OCD, you are going to need a plan ahead practice. You're going to need to know what fear and obsessions and thoughts and fear and all the things get you to do normally. And then you're going to have to be able to break that cycle with a specific plan on attack on how you're going to handle that. And we go through those steps in those two courses or any of our courses. We break it down so that you have a specific plan on how you're going to handle this, what you're going to do, what you're not going to do, how you're going to treat yourself, and so forth.  If you haven't got a therapist and you want to learn how to do that, head over to CBTSchool.com. Those courses, there is low cost as we could make them, and they're there for you to help you have a plan so that you can say to your anxiety when you're struggling, “I've already chosen how I wish to respond, and now I'm going to honor that decision. “ Now, the reason that I say that phrase that way is when you have a plan up ahead head, that's one part of it, but then you have to honor your plan. And what often happens is, when we have a plan and we don't honor that plan, that's often when we start to feel like we distrust ourselves. We feel like we've let ourselves down.  And so what we want to do is we want to make a plan, and then we want to choose to honor that plan. And by honoring the plan that you set out -- and I'm not going to tell you what that plan should be. The cost isn't going to tell you what you have to do. You get to decide that for yourself based on your own core values. But once you do that, and when you follow through by honoring that decision that you made ahead of time, that's when you start to trust yourself. That's when you start to really feel empowered. That's when you start to break that cycle of anxiety because you've stood firm on the ground on what your plan was and how you're going to show up.   I'll repeat it again. “I have already chosen how I want to respond, and now I'm going to honor that decision because I matter, and this is my life, and I want to follow through in the way I said I would.” Now, the fourth one is, “I will treat myself with the same kindness that I offer others in this situation.” Again, we're speaking firmly and kindly with conviction to ourselves. “I will treat myself with the same kindness that I would offer to others.”  And then the last one is, “I'm going to honor my journey and respect my own pace.” This doesn't have to be a straightforward, linear process. In fact, it won't be. And we have to honor our own journey and our own pace, because sometimes it takes longer for us than it does for others. And that's okay. We're going to honor our journey. We're going to respect our own pace.  And I will offer you a bonus phrase, which is, “We are just going to take one step at a time.” Just focus on one step at a time. Because if you're looking too far ahead, it will get overwhelming. You are handling a huge, huge discomfort. And so we want to be as gentle as we can. We want to honor our values. We want to lead with our values, not lead with fear. And my hope is one or many of these phrases will help you get there. I hope this has been helpful.  Again, I want to remind you, some of these won't land for you, and that's entirely okay. Just practice and try the ones that you feel will be helpful, and leave the rest. This is your journey. You get to choose it. I just hope that some of these skills and tools that we talk about on Your Anxiety Toolkit are helpful. And I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day.

Like all great entrepreneurs, Jenn's vision eventually rocketed the company to earn multi-million-dollar revenues.

But today, Cheekbone Beauty sells every kind of colour cosmetic you can think of in stores like Sephora and JC Penny.  This is the story of how Jenn carved out a unique space in the nearly $600 billion beauty industry as a newcomer. You'll hear how her cultural background served as a guiding light, her greatest advice for entrepreneurs venturing into new industries, and the practical methods she used to quickly scale her company to the next level. Jenn talks about:The literal dream that inspired her businessGoing from $500 to selling products in Sephora and JC PennyThe role that her identity plays in helping her brand to stand outThe sacrifices she and her husband have made to create CheekboneHer greatest pieces of advice for entrepreneurs entering a new industryHow she uses lab testing to carve out a unique advantage in the beauty space We'd love to hear your feedback! Here's a quick 5-question survey.

Do you think of yourself as “tough?” It's actually a challenging question to answer. We're certainly eager as entrepreneurs, always ready to tackle the next challenge ahead. But what does toughness actually look like?  Today's conversation with Shara Ruffin reminds us that true resilience comes from hitting our lowest points.

She spent years facing every personal problem imaginable, often at the same time. But she still carved out a thriving business to help social workers take control of their careers. Shara talks about the many overlapping personal challenges she's been through that molded her into a truly resilient entrepreneur like parenting during times of grief, dealing with divorce, and engaging in destructive behavior like alcoholism.   Shara talks about:Spreading hope by building a personal brand on LinkedInFeeling financially stuck at a low point, and what she did about itFacing medical struggles, marital issues, and work stress head onOvercoming maladaptive coping practices and tackling alcoholismHow sharing a video of her struggles on LinkedIn changed everythingHow she created a business guiding colleagues through their licensing challenges We'd love to hear your feedback! Here's a quick 5-question survey.

00:00  I Refuse to Lay Another Egg!10:50 Flying the CoopThis is the story of a hen named Sprout. No longer content to lay eggs on command, only to have them carted off to the market, she glimpses her future every morning through the barn doors, where the other animals roam free, and comes up with a plan to escape into the wild—and to hatch an egg of her own.An anthem for freedom, individuality, and motherhood featuring a plucky, spirited heroine who rebels against the tradition-bound world of the barnyard, The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly is a novel of universal resonance that also opens a window on Korea, where it has captivated millions of readers. And with its array of animal characters—the hen, the duck, the rooster, the dog, the weasel—it calls to mind such classics in English as Animal Farm and Charlotte's Web.Interested in creating a podcast or sponsoring this one?Visit withaim.co for more info

In this episode, we examine a very powerful and useful voting block. One that the Left has successfully cultivated and nurtured for decades. Without them, the Left's "Anti-Everything Agenda" (anti-human, anti-liberty, anti-freedom, anti-religion and anti-family) would die on the vine in one election cycle. I am referring to the apathetic and intellectually lazy among us. The hook-line-and-sinker, Kool-Aid drinking, mind numb robots who like being told what to do and what to think. These people are not on a truth quest; they are on an affirmation bias quest. They avoid and refuse to debate people with opposing opinions due the risk of shattering their pride and their world view. They instead prefer ad hominem attacks and name-calling. Unfortunately, the useful idiot voting block outnumbers "The Normals" who just want to be left alone to live in the constitutional republic handed down by the Founding Fathers. The dumbing down of America may have reached critical mass! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Grab your Truth Quest Merchandise at The Truth Quest Shirt Factory: With each shirt design there will be an explanation of what to expect from those inquisitive or brave enough to ask you about it.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of assault and harassment that some listeners may find upsetting.   Terri Phipps and Mary Morrison are no strangers to the challenges women face when using ridesharing services. Having traveled frequently during their corporate careers, Terri and Mary experienced their fair share of uneasy rideshare situations, prompting them to take on different personas, stay on the lookout for potential dangers, and prepare for worst-case scenarios. And they quickly realized they were far from the only ones.   Driven by the need to create a safer environment for both women passengers and drivers, Terri and Mary founded Wilma, a ridesharing platform specifically designed for women driving women. For Terri and Mary, Wilma is more than just a business endeavor—it's a project with the potential to provide women with a fear-free public transportation option. They talk about their personal connection to Wilma, share traumatic stories from women rideshare passengers that continue to motivate them to make a difference, and offer some of the best advice for women entrepreneurs we've heard so far.  Learn more about Wilma. In this episode, we cover:The ridesharing stories that convinced Terri and Mary to start WilmaThe true extent of the systemic problems surrounding ridesharing for women, and why they can be difficult to convey to menThe importance of acknowledging and addressing "trauma bubbles"Why your personal connection to your venture is crucial to your successManaging your deepest fears as an entrepreneur, and how to enjoy the process of scaling your venture  Quote of the Week:"No problem can stand the assault of sustained effort." - Terri Phipps Hosted by Katherin Vasilopoulos.

Stop me if you've heard this one: “They're teaching kids WHAT to think, not HOW to think!”Sounds about right at first, until you look more closely at what's happening in schools. Kids are being taught HOW to think — like social justice activists—but more importantly, they're being taught WHAT TO FEEL. Teaching kids to evaluate every situation based on how it makes them feel, and evaluating every person based on how that person feels, or makes them feel, is very dangerous. Most frightening of all, teaching kids which feelings they should have is downright abusive, and a violation of their personal boundaries and individual autonomy. ”Empathy” has been weaponized, and schools are making sure your kids will be “carrying” when they come home to your values.Paul and I explain why this is a problem, and what you can do about it!Paul Rossi is a high school mathematics teacher, tutor, writer, and musician. He has been tutoring since 2007 and taught math at Grace Church School from 2012 to 2021. His essay "I Refuse to Stand by While My Students are Indoctrinated" [link] was published in April 2021. He's done a bevy of podcasts with hosts such as as Jordan Peterson and Megyn Kelly. He graduated with a B.A. in French Literature from Cornell in 1992, and got an M.A. in Educational Psychology at Hunter College in 2010. He's currently writing a Guide to free expression for K-12 students. Follow Paul on Twitter here: @pauldrossiPlease consider supporting my work with a paid subscription!

Aaliyah's third and final album is most likely her most diverse. Each song has a different story as well as a different sound. You can see that she really broadened her musical horizons on this album. Every track on the album I fell in love with, but the ones I really enjoyed were "We Need a Resolution", "Loose Rap", "Rock the Boat", "More Than a Woman", "I Care 4 U", "Extra Smooth", "U Got Nerve", "I Refuse", "Those Were the Days" and "What If".

Dark Forces are here... Every single day I get offered to sell my soul. Every day some company offers me hundreds of millions of dollars to convince young men to gamble. To convince them to vape. To convince them to buy some NFT that will never have any true value ever. To buy some random coin. There are dark forces trying to penetrate the minds of the youth. And I am the most powerful force on the internet. So they turn to me and offer me money to damage the people who trust me. I REFUSE. I have turned down over 100 million dollars. I will never become their medium. I'm above money. You cannot buy my principles. Young Kings. Become strong, honorable and dutiful. Become the best versions of yourselves. Reject weakness in any form. Do not blindly obey your emotions. Do not give up on conquest. You can become rich, you can become strong, you can take care of your loved ones and enjoy the fact it will be very difficult. The BEST and FASTEST way to obtain wealth does not guarantee it will feel easy or fast. Society wants what's best for Society. Focus on what's best for yourself. Do not listen to the brokies on how to become rich. Do not listen to the weak on how to become strong. And do not listen to the corrupted on anything. Conquer earth.

In times of heightened national security, scholars and activists from the communities under suspicion often attempt to alert the public to the more complex stories behind the headlines. But when they raise questions about the government, military and police policy, these individuals are routinely shut down and accused of being terrorist sympathizers or apologists. In such environments, there is immense pressure to condemn what society at large fears.  I Refuse to Condemn: Resisting Racism in Times of National Security (Manchester University Press, 2021) explains how the expectation to condemn has emerged, tracking it against the normalization of racism, and explores how writers manage to subvert expectations as part of their commitment to anti-racism. In my conversation with the collection's editor, Asim Qureshi, Research Director of CAGE, an independent advocacy organization, we discuss the culture of condemnation and the presumption of guilt, its psychological and physiological impacts, issues of trauma, white supremacy and racism as a system of power, structural racism's relationship to national security, Prevent and countering violent extremism programs, cultural representation, the role of artists and performers, the afterlife of one's work or art, and advocacy to dismantle anti-Muslim racism.

Pastor David shares Wednesday in Dickinson. Foundational Text: Psalm 145:8-16 It's easy to hear the Word of the Lord for the year in January, stand on it until February, maybe even March, then forget about it. But if you want the Word to work for you, you've got to see it through. We have been given a Word for this year: 2022 is the Year of the Open Hand of God. In the midst of more chaos and disorder, I will open my hand and freely give to those who refuse to be shaken by it. The importance of the prophetic word I would like to establish today the importance of this Word from the Lord. You cannot receive from that which you do not honor. The Word is unprofitable where it is dishonored. In other words, the amount of importance that you place on a Word from God is the amount of benefit you will receive from that Word. Matthew 13:57 (NKJV) So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” A person can honor the Word concerning finances and be blessed financially while at the same time be ignorant concerning healing and give no importance to what the Word has to say about healing and so walk in sickness and pain all their life, even though healing is no less true, no less God's will, than our financial prosperity. What's the difference? That one person honored God's will for finances but did not honor His will for healing. I've seen this happen in my own life! The purpose of prophecy: To bring edification, exhortation, and comfort 1 Corinthians 14:1-3 1 Corinthians 14:3 (ERV) But those who prophesy are speaking to people. They help people grow stronger in faith, and they give encouragement and comfort. It is a weapon which is to be wielded so that you may wage a good warfare 1 Timothy 1:18 Where is the battle fought? 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 The battle is fought in our mind 2 Corinthians 10:5 (TPT) We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. So the purpose of this word from God is so that you will demolish every deceptive and lying thought that the enemy throws at you by strengthening your faith, encouraging you, and comforting you. As thoughts, imaginations, and circumstances try to tear down everything that God has said, stand on this Word from Him: THIS is MY YEAR and the Hand of God is open to me because I REFUSE to be shaken by the chaos and disorder all around me! Psalms 91:7-8 (NKJV) A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. The Word of God for you: Daily Word: There is a Word from God for you every day, and that is found by spending time with Him in His presence daily, reading your Bible. That is your “Daily Bread.” (Matthew 6:11) A Word in Due Season: There is also a Word from God for you for the season that you are living in. Isaiah 50:4 (NKJV) "The Lord GOD has given Me The tongue of the learned, That I should know how to speak A word in season to him who is weary. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear To hear as the learned. Proverbs 15:23 (NKJV) A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is! Here's what we need to do: Give this Word extra attention Give this Word extra focus Give this Word talk time: Talk it! Say it! Give this Word extra thought Timothy was in a specific season as a new Pastor of a church exploding with growth. He was a young man with a nature of being timid and afraid. Paul gave him instruction and encouragement. Then he said, 1 Timothy 4:15 (NKJV) Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. Meditate on the Word! Μελετάω (STRONGS) Meletaō Mel-et-ah'-o From a presumed derivative of G3199; to take care of, that is, (by implication) revolve in the mind: - imagine, (pre-) meditate God has given us a Word. Give it attention. Focus on it. Speak it! And meditate on it.

“They're trying to carve out an intimacy with the child where they can foster a certain view of the world sheltered from what the parent thinks—and even turning the child against the parent and against the parents' values.” In this episode, we sit down with Paul Rossi, a former math teacher at Grace Church School in Manhattan, New York. Last year, he made waves when he published the viral article, “I Refuse to Stand By While My Students Are Indoctrinated.” Since leaving Grace Church School, Paul has become an activist exposing woke ideology being implemented in schools, both public and private. He breaks down how it works—from racially segregated Zoom training sessions to lunchtime “affinity groups”—and how to identify the red flags.

This episode was recorded on April 22nd, 2021Paul Rossi and I sit down to discuss the controversy surrounding a recent article Paul wrote. It has become apparent that an anti-racism curriculum is being instituted in schools across the United States and that doesn't initially sound like anything but a positive change. I had Paul on to share his concerns after working in one of these schools that are implementing new ways of thinking about how our western society is structured. We spoke about many of the flaws we see with the current direction of teaching.Paul Rossi is a high school mathematics teacher and writer.
