This Habits 2 Goals episode is FREE for ALL subscribers.“If it bleeds, it leads.” ~ William Randolph HearstCloudy with a Chance of SuccessThere's a reason the phrase “If it bleeds, it leads” exists in the media, it captures people's attention.Eyeballs and ears gravitate toward sights and sounds of fear and panic.Imagine: You're about to cross a rickety bridge. Mr. Optimism skips along, whistling a happy tune, while Ms. Pessimism checks the planks, grumbling about “potential splinters and structural integrity.”Who comes out ahead? It depends. The pessimist may appear to be the party pooper. Yet, she might've just saved some lives.Humans are naturally, hard-wired with a built-in alarm system; constantly scanning for threats, risks, and what-ifs. Media companies know this and run stories accordingly.Isn't optimism the real ally though?Similar to “Expectations” (prior episode) the idea is that both pessimism and optimism can be superpowers when used wisely.The trick is finding the balance – the sweet spot – the perspective that allows you to see both the storm and know that the sun is there, behind the clouds.A few tips:* Listen to both voices: Don't silence Ms. Pessimism or Mr. Optimism. When facing a challenge, acknowledge the potential pitfalls, but also the possible triumphs.* Plan for the worst, hope for the best: Ms. Pessimism can help you pack the umbrella, while Mr. Optimism keeps you looking for the rainbow. * Prepare for bumps on the road, but don't lose sight of the finish line.* Focus on personal growth: Both Mr. Optimism and Ms. Pessimism are twin guides of personal development. Pessimism may reveal weaknesses – opportunities for improvement, while optimism can showcase strengths to build on.With an optimistic long-term perspective and a sharp scrutiny of threats in the near term, great things can be accomplished over time.And, remember…“Where there is hope in the future, there is happiness in the present.”Success doesn't ignore present storms yet, it finds a way to persist, find value where it may be hidden and know the sun is shining beyond.Mentioned in this episode: The Psychology of MoneyEnjoy the show!~mgP.S.: From the world of statistics: All models are flawed, but some are useful.With this in mind, we asked Google's AI experiment Bard to “break” the “Three Circles of Behavior System” model (perhaps a future post).

Imagine: You have been leading your financial institution for decades, and you're immensely proud that you've helped it grow in almost every way. Now, as you reflect on 30-plus years of hard work, struggles, wins, and relationships, you realize it's time to take a step back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. But what does that look like, exactly? How do you slowly step away, and who is going to lead the institution when you do? Once you've identified your institution's next leader, how do you plan a successful handoff? These are the same questions David Furnace (Executive Vice Chairman and former CEO of Haberfeld) had when it was time to hand over the reins to Ben O'Neill (new CEO of Haberfeld).Join Patrick and Susan as they talk with David and Ben about the process and timeline of succession planning, and how the two worked together for an effective and timely passing of the torch.

Each of us is a dearly loved divine child of the Great Mother Father God who is never judged, condemned or left alone--whether we know or not. Knowledge preciously reserved for rigorously vetted mystery school adepts, is now available to all ready, able and willing to use it for the greater good.This tutorial is a general introduction to New Souls and Old Souls: who we are, how Mama Drama Trauma (MDT) affects us, what we need from one another, and how to create healthy relationships with them. (It is two hours. At the one hour mark is a brief meditation. I suggest taking a break there, or doing the meditation to give your system a break before completing it.)This basic overview covers key points related to empaths, or old souls with the mother wound whose anxiety and amnesia of past lifetimes blocks self healing attempts.>>>> Link to interview with Patricia McGivern Soul ExplorerWhile MDT recovery is a lifetimes, long process, as the soul matures we gain gifs, talents and abilities to completely release it.What are these gifts?How do we use them to get past the unending anxiety?What have we forgotten from past lives that may be useful now?Thank you for reading MDT Academy Newsletter. This post is public so feel free to share it.Transform MDT to Stop Its TransmissionUntil we transform it, we will transmit it onto other souls creating karma that keeps us trapped in the cycle. MDT is a painful and vicious cycle not for faint of heart. Indeed, it cultivates the strong hearts we have. The problem is we will transmit it on to others until we transform it into the healing balm it is intended to be.>>>> Link to tutorial Are You An Empath with the Mother Wound?Everyone is going through something . Processing, how we break things down and trauma, soul dissociation, are the word of the day.As dearly loved divine children, we learn the purpose of trauma is to open the heart to receive more and more divine love and, gradually through consecutive lifetimes, return to divinity consciousness.  MDT is the birth canal where we learn to release toxic energy to receive divine energy through free will choice.>>>> Link to blog Are Empaths and Narcissists Codependent?Tips, tools and techniques in this tutorial outline the polarity between old and new souls to better understand how to process the toxicity of our unconscious interactions, what we need to know to deal with them and how.Here are a few MDT integration tools mentioned:- RAW (Ready, Able and Willing) Score for rapid trigger release- Ainslie Macleod Soul Type Quiz- Mama Drama Trauma Healing Oracle DeckWhat's important for us to realize is that MDT integration is about fully reclaiming our core belief in divinity identity— despite the material experience of maternal abandonment and abuse.We do this with a daily and moment by moment practice of, reciting the mantra to ourselves, when triggered::I am a dearly lovedDivine ChildOf the Great Mother Father GodWho is never judged, condemnedOr left alone.Though challenging at first, reason old souls are more aware of this than others is because our abundance of near death combat, fatal accidents, natural disaster, being and giving birth experiences, know we are loved and cared for beyond material comprehension.MDT is a lifetime test, to prove it. New Souls are not held to the same account.Imagine…You are a spry 94 year old, but with waning vitality. You have been a bit of a loner your entire life so its good to have someone around now. Everyday, when you awaken your nineteen year old nephew helps you into the car and drives you to the city's football stadium for a day-long acid, hard rock concert. While he helps you out of the car and buys all the day's snacks, they conflict with your prescribed diet. You walk from the car to your seat, repeatedly pushed aside, mocked and spending the entire day with sensory overload struggling to digest the process second hand smoke and drug vapors. The concrete, plastic seats makes the noise—music—pounding into your ear drums blow through your body making it sing along to the toxic lyrics. It feels familiar, a sick mediation. Pried down by gravity and baptized by beer spilling on your head like a continual baptismal. After twelve hours, it's back to the car walking is harder, you feel heavier each day.

But park advocates are not satisfied, and said it furthers the border wall plan set forth by former president Donald Trump. And, Imagine: You are at the grocery store, ready to check out. You put your card in the reader. It is declined. And you have no other way to pay. That is what is happening to thousands of San Diego residents who have had their EBT cards hacked and drained of funds. Next, some people give birth at home by accident. But increasingly, mothers are choosing midwives and home births over doctors and hospitals. And, Leonardo Da Vinci may be better known for painting the Mona Lisa than for writing thousands of pages of journal entries. But, playwright Mary Zimmeman was so intrigued by his writing that she took his words and crafted a play around them. “The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci” opens at The Old Globe in Balboa Park on Saturday. And, finally, a San Diego author shares her new young adult novel, “This is Not a Personal Statement.” Tracy Badua's book follows 16-year-old overachiever, Perla Perez, whose life is thrown into disarray after she is inexplicably rejected by her dream college.

This would be the dark and terrifying reality of 5 children the day of March 16th, 1946 on the outskirts of Hamilton Ontario. Shocked, and with no explanation, this corpse turns out to be the torso of a man named John Dick. With much more to uncover, this would be a crime that would ripple the town of Hamilton through the ages.This is the case of the Black Widow, Evelyn Dick.

We're gonna start with a question here: What kind of church do you want to be? Now the reason that I'm asking y'all the question is because y'all — as in we, all of us together — we are the ones who determine the answer. What makes a church the kind of church it is is the people of that church. The pastors have a responsibility to teach the Bible and to shepherd and to lead, but ultimately it's the church together that forms and shapes that church's character. And our passage today in Galatians Chapter 5 is all about this. Last week Pastor David Mathis mentioned that beginning in Chapter 5, the apostle Paul starts to focus on the church's life together. Paul moves from expounding the gospel in Chapters 1–4, to now he's exhorting the church about how they should live together because of that gospel. And verses 7–14 here in Chapter 5 is kinda like a fork in the road. There's a dichotomy that begins to emerge here, and it's like Paul is saying to the church: Hey, you can either be this kind of church OR that kind of church. …You can go down this road or that road — but you're gonna go down one road or the other, and who decides, Paul would say, is YOU. It's who he wrote the letter to. He's not talking to a denomination; he's not talking to only pastors; but he's talking to the church, because the church decides. We decide together the kind of church we're going to be.So let me tell you the options that Paul lays out. The Options Before UsGo ahead and skip down to verses 14–15 for a minute. This is the conclusion of the passage, but I wanna start with the conclusion so that we can get an idea of the two different roads we're looking at. Verse 14 continues verse 13 where Paul says “through love serve one another” — verse 14 says to love your neighbor as yourself. “But if” — verse 15, which marks a contrast — “But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.”And those are the two roads. You either love one another (verses 13–14) or you devour one another (verse 15, which connect back to verses 7–12). It's either the road of love or the road of strife. The road of love leads to flourishing; the road of strife leads to destruction — and we need to make sure we're on the right road. So what I'd like to do for this sermon is to slow down in this passage and describe more of what these two roads are like: 1. What is the road of strife? 2. What is the road of love? That's the plan. Let's pray:Father in heaven, you who are with us by your Spirit, in this moment, we ask for more of him. Please pour out your Spirit upon us, and show us the glory of your Son! We ask in his name, the mighty name of Jesus, amen. 1) What Is the Road of Strife?Okay, so what is the road of strife?Well, I think there are three things Paul tells us about the road of strife, and first one stands out right away in verse 7. It's this:#1 - The road of strife starts with doctrinal compromise. (v. 7)Look at verse 7. Paul says:You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?So this is the metaphor of a long-distance runner, which is one of Paul's favorite metaphors. He uses it several times in his letters. And the image here is that the church is this runner who's been running down the right road in good shape. They've been trucking along, keeping a good pace, but then somebody hinders them. The word here for “hindered” is the same word Paul uses in 1 Thessalonians 2:18 when he said that “Satan hindered” his ministry efforts. The idea is to obstruct. It's to get in the way.So let's stick with this running metaphor: imagine that there's a runner trucking along, doing great. [We have some runners in this church, right?]. Imagine: You're running along, doing great, but then somebody comes out of nowhere, they start running beside you and then they start jabbing elbows in your side. But you're a good runner, and so you keep running, but all these elbows in your side start to change your direction from the one you started down, and before too long you're going a completely different way, down a completely different road. That's what is going on with the Galatians. They've been hindered.And this hindrance that Paul is talking about is a hindrance from obeying the truth. And when Paul uses the word “truth” he means the truth of the gospel (just like he says in Chapter 2, verses 5 and 14). Somebody is hindering this church from the gospel, and this somebody, verse 8, is not God. The church was running well; they were on the right track; but they keep taking in the side that are against the gospel of God. Which means you're running, and these elbows are saying …“Hey, faith in the gospel is not enough.”“Hey, keeping Jewish law is required.”“Hey, Paul doesn't know what he's talking about.”“Hey, did God really say …?”And see, the problem is, if you take that first elbow, and then you don't really resist the second elbow, then the third elbow is gonna land a little bit easier, and the next thing you know you're just getting used to these elbows, and then, as Paul says in Ephesians, you end up getting “tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine” (4:14). You end up on the road of strife, headed toward destruction, and it all started by giving just a little bit of space to an elbow that contradicts the truth of the gospel. The result of one compromise will lead to a very different place from where you were meaning to go. Look, I know there are some who might roll their eyes at churches who are serious about doctrine. I get that there are some who might ridicule churches who are concerned about “slippery slopes” — I get it — but I just wanna say that the importance of doctrine and vigilance against false doctrine, that comes from the New Testament. It's what the Bible says. And the question of whether we do what the Bible says is the question of whether we actually want to be a real church. Because churches who forsake the Bible, churches who abandon the truth of the gospel — like the Galatians were on the verge of doing — they are not real churches anymore. Now they still might have a building; they might meet together on Sundays; but if they have forsaken the gospel of Jesus Christ, they are not a real church. And for all so-called churches in these Twin Cities, I want to replace them with a church plant. That's what we're trying to do here, God willing.When it comes to the road of strife, it starts with doctrinal compromise. #2 - The road of strife gradually worsens over time. (v. 8)Paul says in verse 8: “A little leaven leavens the whole lump.” And this means he's changed the metaphor. He goes from talking about running a race to now he's talking about bread-making, and the connection between the two is the gradualness of the effect. It doesn't take that many elbows for a runner to veer off course, and it doesn't take a whole lot of leaven to make bread. Just a little bit changes the entire thing (see 1 Corinthians 5:6). See, for the Galatians, maybe this seemed to be a small issue — we're were just talking about circumcision, right? Relax!we're just talking about keeping a few Jewish laws, right? That's all!— and Paul says, Look, just like it doesn't take a lot of leaven to make bread, the slightest deviation from the truth of the gospel will eventually lead to destruction.And of course you never get to see this in real time. We don't have a time-lapse perspective on a church's apostasy. We seldom ever see get to see something decay as it's actually happening. The closest example in my mind of where we might see this is when I go bowling.I went bowling with some friends a couple weeks ago, and I did horrible. I bowled so badly that I lost respect for myself. I'm working through it. But the way bowling works is, you know, there are ten frames, and you get a couple rolls each frame, and they have the computer that's calculating your score. And in that first frame, you know you leave a couple pins — but it's no big deal. You get more chances. Then you leave a couple pins the next few frames — and you think it's fine because you're still knocking down most of pins, but if you keep doing that (maybe you gutter one) and the next thing you know the game's over, you bowled a 77, and you hate yourself.It's a gradual thing. It was a couple pins here and there. But it adds up and gets worse. It always starts smaller than what it becomes. We need to know this about the road of strife. Most people don't say, Hey, I choose strife! But it happens over time. We need to know that. #3 - The road of strife must be seen for what it is, and thus rejected. (vv. 10–12, 15)Paul makes it clear in verses 10–12 what the Galatians are up against. He starts,I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view.Remember, the Galatians had been tempted to embrace a different view of the gospel than what Paul preached, but Paul said in Chapter 1 that there's really no such thing. There are not different views of the gospel. There is the gospel as Paul preached it, or there's no gospel at all. In fact, remember what Paul said in Chapter 1, verses 8 and 9. He said twice that “If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received [from me], let him be accursed.” That's an imprecatory statement. In Chapter 1, Paul spoke a curse on these false teachers, and it's relevant in Chapter 5 because he's about to do it again. Look at the second part of verse 10. Paul is confident in the Lord that the Galatians are gonna get this right and he's confident that …the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is.Paul is saying that these false teachers, these troublers, will face the judgment of God. God will punish them for their deceit, or actually in this case, it's singular. It seems like Paul is talking about one person: “whoever he is” — do you see that? Maybe this is the ring leader of these false teachers — we don't know — but what's important for us to see, I think, is that Paul speaks differently about the church than he does about the false teacher. When it's the church, Paul is hopeful. Now he exhorts them strongly; he admonishes them; but he doesn't give up on them. But for the false teacher, Paul is already speaking judgment on him. Which helps us understand verse 12. Skip to verse 12 for a minute. In verser 10 Paul has already said that this false teacher will be punished. Now he says, verse 12, “I wish that those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!”And that means precisely what you think it means … if you think it means castration. Paul is saying that those false teachers who are teaching that circumcision is needed for salvation might as well go ahead and keep on cutting. This is the second most intense thing that the apostle Paul says in any of his letters. The most intense thing is what Paul has already said here in Chapter 1 when he said that the false teachers should be accursed. Because by accursed he means eternal damnation. Which means that if we think Paul is being more severe in Chapter 5 verse 12 than he is in Chapter 1 verse 9 it's because we don't understand hell. … And it's because we don't understand the gravity of this situation!What's at stake here is verse 15. It's the total destruction of this church; it's the full apostasy of all these Christians! And unless we get how serious this is, nothing else that Paul is saying is gonna make sense. Seeing the Wonderful CrossThe false teachers were teaching that circumcision is necessary for salvation — which means they were saying the death of Jesus was not enough;they were treating the death of Jesus like it's a coupon;they were spreading a man-centered false gospel heresy —and Paul says in verse 11:If I was preaching that garbage, I would not be persecuted, because in that case, according to that message, the offense of the cross is removed. What does Paul mean by that? What makes the cross offensive?Simply put, what makes the cross the offensive is that the cross says you can do nothing to save yourself. Nothing. The cross says that you are wrong … and you're needy. And we don't like to be wrong or needy. The cross says you are so sinful and depraved, you are so broken and distorted in your sin, that you can't do anything to change it yourself, but the only chance you've got is the death of Jesus in your place. Do you see? The only way you can be saved is if Jesus Christ the Son of God is slain for you. The Jewish people consider that shameful; Greeks consider that foolish; every sinful human considers that offensive … until the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to know that this cross is actually wonderful. Because this cross, the cross, is the display of God's love for us. The cross is God saying, I love you this much … and if God 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?Do you see it? The cross is the keyhole to all grace. This cross is our life. This cross is our boast. The cross of Jesus is everything to us.And the Galatians have to get this. Because they were headed down the road of strife, and it must be seen for what it is and rejected. Don't go that way.And if we don't go that way, then we must go the other way. We reject the road of strife, and we choose the road of love. And so let's learn more about this road. We've seen the road of strife, now What is the road of love?2) What Is the Road of Love?Well, I think in this passage Paul also tells us three things about the road of love, and we see the first in verse 13: For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh.Right away this tells us …#1 - The road of love does not misuse freedom to indulge the flesh. (v. 13ab)Verse 13 connects us back to last week's passage, to Chapter 5, verse 1, where Paul tells us that Jesus has set us free. Jesus has saved us by his grace through our faith in him, not by our works, and he has freed us from sin and the law and the curse and from death. All the things that used to enslave us and trap us in fear — the power of those things that used to rule us — has been broken. Pastor David said last week: we are freed from those things AND we are freed for loving one another. Verse 13 here just extends what we've already seen in verse 6, but here Paul adds the negative warning: “Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh.”Now at the most basic level, the reason Paul gives this warning not to misuse our freedom is because it's possible to misuse our freedom. And we know this. You know this. You're saved by faith in Jesus; you're not saved by good works; and so then you might think that since I'm not saved by good works then I don't have to do any good works — if I don't have to love others in order to be saved, why bother?I remember a conversation I had with a neighbor a few years ago. He comes from a nominal Catholic background, and I was explaining to him the meaning of grace. I said that we can never deserve God's love for us. God's grace means that God loves us because he loves us, not because we've done anything ourselves to make him love us. And you know what he said? He said: Oh, so that means I can go out and live and party and do whatever I want, and just ask God to forgive me, and he will. You mean I can just do or not do whatever I want and God just loves me.Maybe you've heard responses like that before. Maybe you've thought that yourself. But see, Paul understood that responses (and behavior) like that are possible. People can misuse their freedom to indulge their flesh, but it's only because they don't actually understand grace.See, in this wrong way of thinking, people confuse grace and salvation. Grace is how we are saved, but what is this salvation that grace brings us into? Ultimately our salvation is that we get God. We belong to God. Grace does not make us a god unto ourselves, but grace reconciles us back to the God who made us and fills us with his Spirit. Our salvation is fellowship with God and in that fellowship we have the freedom to live for God's glory … and for others and their good. This brings us to the second thing Paul tells us about the road of love. #2 - The road of love through love serves one another. (v. 13c)Look at the end of verse 13. Don't misuse freedom to indulge the flesh, but, verse 13:Through love serve one another.And this is the absolute perfect way to say it. In light of what's going on with the Galatians, Paul says it this way on purpose: “Through love serve one another.”So it's not just serve, but it's serve through love. It's not just love, but it's through love serve. See … serving without love is busyness, but love without serving is empty. So we need them both to stay together.There is a way to serve others not from love. It's a kind of going through the motions that might either be frenzied or it might be boring — it may look like a lot of activity, or it may look humdrum — but either way, serving without love means we're doing things but we've lost touch with our motive. It means maybe we've gotten “good” at ministry but we've forgotten the heart behind it. This is something to beware of. Serving without love is busyness …But love without serving is empty. There is a way to only theoretically understand the importance of love. If you read the Bible, you have to at least start here, because the Bible has so much to say about love. We can easily see that love is important, and we can nod our heads, but if we're not actually putting love into action by serving others in tangible ways, then we are missing it. Don't just check the box that love is important, show love. Don't just agree with the idea of love, but practice love through actions. First John 3:18, “Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”So SERVE through love;through love serve — — this is the road of love, and if we're all thinking this way, if we as men and women are centered on the gospel and holding these things together … it will change your home; it will change a church; it will change a city.This is the road of love. Last thing to see here:#3 - The road of love embraces the depths of love. (v. 14)Now we all know that the word “love” is overused. It's so common that it doesn't sound profound to us. It doesn't come across as significant. It might even sound a little trite or cliche, right? But to be clear, that is not at all the way the Bible talks about love. Look at verse 14: For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”The whole law. y'all. All of the laws in the Old Testament about how we should treat one another. All of them. Paul says it's really quite simple. He says the same thing in Romans 13:8–10,Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. So there you go! So next time you're reading the Old Testament and you get a little confused, just skip to here. This is your answer in the back of the book. All the laws are basically one law: love. And Jesus taught us this: the greatest commandment of all, he said, is to love God with everything you are; the second commandment is to love others. Jesus said on these two commandments depend all the Law and Prophets (see Matthew 22:37–40).Love God; love people. Simple, right?But do we really have any idea how deep this is?First, love is our primary calling in relation to God. We are called to love God, which does not mean to merely have a positive, sentimental disposition toward him. But we are called to love God as in have a wholehearted, life-encompassing, community-impacting, exclusive commitment to God. See, a lot of folks might think they love God because they have some good feelings about him. Jesus said to love God with every fiber of your being … and … love other people too. Ultimately, love them as in seek their good in God. Serve others through love so that they would know a little bit more about God's love for them. And see now we've come to the very foundation of it all. The Foundation of It AllWe've looked at these two roads — we've seen the road of strife and now we've looked at the road of love — and whichever road our church takes is for our church to decide. So can we decide love? [Can we all agree on that?!]But see, get this: if we are going to walk down and keep walking down this road of love, the most important thing is to know God's love for us. The apostle John says “We love because God first loved us” (1 John 4:19). And that is profoundly true. We're talking depths here. I like the way one pastor has put it: He says, “a heart aloof from God grows aloof from others. …and ends up engaging in merciless comparisons and endless faultfinding” — or Paul would say you devour one another. This is strife! — And “therefore all restoration” — any renewal we might experience in our love for one another — “begins by going back to God first, prodigals that we are.” (Ray Ortlund, The Gospel, 117)This is where the road of love starts, and it's what we have to remind one another every step along the way. God — the Creator of the heavens and earth; the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; Yahweh who says I will be who I will be and I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy — God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through the gospel of Jesus Christ has become our Father who knows the very number of hairs on our heads, even as he knew us and chose us before the foundations of the world not to be destined for wrath but to obtain salvation, this God who is so radically for us that nothing can be against us, and nothing can come between us, this God … loves you. He loves you. He loves you.And he made that clear to us at the cross of Jesus, which brings us to this Table.The Table At this Table, as we receive the bread and the cup, we give Jesus thanks for his death in our place. We eat and we drink remembering that Jesus and his cross is everything to us. And if that's your story this morning, if you trust in Jesus Christ, if you know that you are loved by God, we invite you to eat and drink with us.

We're gonna start with a question here: What kind of church do you want to be? Now the reason that I'm asking y'all the question is because y'all — as in we, all of us together — we are the ones who determine the answer. What makes a church the kind of church it is is the people of that church. The pastors have a responsibility to teach the Bible and to shepherd and to lead, but ultimately it's the church together that forms and shapes that church's character. And our passage today in Galatians Chapter 5 is all about this.  Last week Pastor David Mathis mentioned that beginning in Chapter 5, the apostle Paul starts to focus on the church's life together. Paul moves from expounding the gospel in Chapters 1–4, to now he's exhorting the church about how they should live together because of that gospel.  And verses 7–14 here in Chapter 5 is kinda like a fork in the road. There's a dichotomy that begins to emerge here, and it's like Paul is saying to the church:  Hey, you can either be this kind of church OR that kind of church. … You can go down this road or that road — but you're gonna go down one road or the other, and who decides, Paul would say, is YOU. It's who he wrote the letter to. He's not talking to a denomination; he's not talking to only pastors; but he's talking to the church, because the church decides. We decide together the kind of church we're going to be. So let me tell you the options that Paul lays out.  The Options Before Us Go ahead and skip down to verses 14–15 for a minute. This is the conclusion of the passage, but I wanna start with the conclusion so that we can get an idea of the two different roads we're looking at.  Verse 14 continues verse 13 where Paul says “through love serve one another” — verse 14 says to love your neighbor as yourself. “But if” — verse 15, which marks a contrast — “But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.” And those are the two roads. You either love one another (verses 13–14) or you devour one another (verse 15, which connect back to verses 7–12).  It's either the road of love or the road of strife.  The road of love leads to flourishing; the road of strife leads to destruction — and we need to make sure we're on the right road.  So what I'd like to do for this sermon is to slow down in this passage and describe more of what these two roads are like:  1. What is the road of strife? 2. What is the road of love? That's the plan. Let's pray: Father in heaven, you who are with us by your Spirit, in this moment, we ask for more of him. Please pour out your Spirit upon us, and show us the glory of your Son! We ask in his name, the mighty name of Jesus, amen.  1) What Is the Road of Strife? Okay, so what is the road of strife? Well, I think there are three things Paul tells us about the road of strife, and first one stands out right away in verse 7. It's this: #1 - The road of strife starts with doctrinal compromise. (v. 7) Look at verse 7. Paul says: You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? So this is the metaphor of a long-distance runner, which is one of Paul's favorite metaphors. He uses it several times in his letters. And the image here is that the church is this runner who's been running down the right road in good shape. They've been trucking along, keeping a good pace, but then somebody hinders them.  The word here for “hindered” is the same word Paul uses in 1 Thessalonians 2:18 when he said that “Satan hindered” his ministry efforts. The idea is to obstruct. It's to get in the way. So let's stick with this running metaphor: imagine that there's a runner trucking along, doing great. [We have some runners in this church, right?]. Imagine: You're running along, doing great, but then somebody comes out of nowhere, they start running beside you and then they start jabbing elbows in your side.  But you're a good runner, and so you keep running, but all these elbows in your side start to change your direction from the one you started down, and before too long you're going a completely different way, down a completely different road.  That's what is going on with the Galatians. They've been hindered. And this hindrance that Paul is talking about is a hindrance from obeying the truth. And when Paul uses the word “truth” he means the truth of the gospel (just like he says in Chapter 2, verses 5 and 14). Somebody is hindering this church from the gospel, and this somebody, verse 8, is not God. The church was running well; they were on the right track; but they keep taking in the side that are against the gospel of God. Which means you're running, and these elbows are saying … “Hey, faith in the gospel is not enough.” “Hey, keeping Jewish law is required.” “Hey, Paul doesn't know what he's talking about.” “Hey, did God really say …?” And see, the problem is, if you take that first elbow, and then you don't really resist the second elbow, then the third elbow is gonna land a little bit easier, and the next thing you know you're just getting used to these elbows, and then, as Paul says in Ephesians, you end up getting “tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine” (4:14).  You end up on the road of strife, headed toward destruction, and it all started by giving just a little bit of space to an elbow that contradicts the truth of the gospel. The result of one compromise will lead to a very different place from where you were meaning to go.  Look, I know there are some who might roll their eyes at churches who are serious about doctrine. I get that there are some who might ridicule churches who are concerned about “slippery slopes”  — I get it — but I just wanna say that the importance of doctrine and vigilance against false doctrine, that comes from the New Testament. It's what the Bible says. And the question of whether we do what the Bible says is the question of whether we actually want to be a real church.  Because churches who forsake the Bible, churches who abandon the truth of the gospel — like the Galatians were on the verge of doing — they are not real churches anymore. Now they still might have a building; they might meet together on Sundays; but if they have forsaken the gospel of Jesus Christ, they are not a real church. And for all so-called churches in these Twin Cities, I want to replace them with a church plant. That's what we're trying to do here, God willing. When it comes to the road of strife, it starts with doctrinal compromise.  #2 - The road of strife gradually worsens over time. (v. 8) Paul says in verse 8: “A little leaven leavens the whole lump.” And this means he's changed the metaphor. He goes from talking about running a race to now he's talking about bread-making, and the connection between the two is the gradualness of the effect.  It doesn't take that many elbows for a runner to veer off course, and it doesn't take a whole lot of leaven to make bread. Just a little bit changes the entire thing (see 1 Corinthians 5:6). See, for the Galatians, maybe this seemed to be a small issue —  we're were just talking about circumcision, right? Relax! we're just talking about keeping a few Jewish laws, right? That's all! — and Paul says, Look, just like it doesn't take a lot of leaven to make bread, the slightest deviation from the truth of the gospel will eventually lead to destruction. And of course you never get to see this in real time. We don't have a time-lapse perspective on a church's apostasy. We seldom ever see get to see something decay as it's actually happening. The closest example in my mind of where we might see this is when I go bowling. I went bowling with some friends a couple weeks ago, and I did horrible. I bowled so badly that I lost respect for myself. I'm working through it. But the way bowling works is, you know, there are ten frames, and you get a couple rolls each frame, and they have the computer that's calculating your score.  And in that first frame, you know you leave a couple pins — but it's no big deal. You get more chances. Then you leave a couple pins the next few frames — and you think it's fine because you're still knocking down most of pins, but if you keep doing that (maybe you gutter one) and the next thing you know the game's over, you bowled a 77, and you hate yourself. It's a gradual thing. It was a couple pins here and there. But it adds up and gets worse. It always starts smaller than what it becomes. We need to know this about the road of strife. Most people don't say, Hey, I choose strife! But it happens over time. We need to know that.  #3 - The road of strife must be seen for what it is, and thus rejected. (vv. 10–12, 15) Paul makes it clear in verses 10–12 what the Galatians are up against. He starts, I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view. Remember, the Galatians had been tempted to embrace a different view of the gospel than what Paul preached, but Paul said in Chapter 1 that there's really no such thing. There are not different views of the gospel. There is the gospel as Paul preached it, or there's no gospel at all.  In fact, remember what Paul said in Chapter 1, verses 8 and 9. He said twice that “If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received [from me], let him be accursed.” That's an imprecatory statement. In Chapter 1, Paul spoke a curse on these false teachers, and it's relevant in Chapter 5 because he's about to do it again. Look at the second part of verse 10. Paul is confident in the Lord that the Galatians are gonna get this right and he's confident that … the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. Paul is saying that these false teachers, these troublers, will face the judgment of God. God will punish them for their deceit, or actually in this case, it's singular. It seems like Paul is talking about one person: “whoever he is” — do you see that?  Maybe this is the ring leader of these false teachers — we don't know — but what's important for us to see, I think, is that Paul speaks differently about the church than he does about the false teacher.  When it's the church, Paul is hopeful. Now he exhorts them strongly; he admonishes them; but he doesn't give up on them.  But for the false teacher, Paul is already speaking judgment on him. Which helps us understand verse 12.  Skip to verse 12 for a minute. In verser 10 Paul has already said that this false teacher will be punished. Now he says, verse 12, “I wish that those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!” And that means precisely what you think it means … if you think it means castration. Paul is saying that those false teachers who are teaching that circumcision is needed for salvation might as well go ahead and keep on cutting.  This is the second most intense thing that the apostle Paul says in any of his letters.  The most intense thing is what Paul has already said here in Chapter 1 when he said that the false teachers should be accursed. Because by accursed he means eternal damnation. Which means that if we think Paul is being more severe in Chapter 5 verse 12 than he is in Chapter 1 verse 9 it's because we don't understand hell. … And it's because we don't understand the gravity of this situation! What's at stake here is verse 15. It's the total destruction of this church; it's the full apostasy of all these Christians! And unless we get how serious this is, nothing else that Paul is saying is gonna make sense.  Seeing the Wonderful Cross The false teachers were teaching that circumcision is necessary for salvation —  which means they were saying the death of Jesus was not enough; they were treating the death of Jesus like it's a coupon; they were spreading a man-centered false gospel heresy — and Paul says in verse 11: If I was preaching that garbage, I would not be persecuted, because in that case, according to that message, the offense of the cross is removed.  What does Paul mean by that? What makes the cross offensive? Simply put, what makes the cross the offensive is that the cross says you can do nothing to save yourself. Nothing. The cross says that you are wrong … and you're needy.  And we don't like to be wrong or needy. The cross says you are so sinful and depraved, you are so broken and distorted in your sin, that you can't do anything to change it yourself, but the only chance you've got is the death of Jesus in your place. Do you see? The only way you can be saved is if Jesus Christ the Son of God is slain for you.  The Jewish people consider that shameful; Greeks consider that foolish; every sinful human considers that offensive … until the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to know that this cross is actually wonderful.  Because this cross, the cross, is the display of God's love for us. The cross is God saying, I love you this much …  and if God 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? Do you see it? The cross is the keyhole to all grace.  This cross is our life. This cross is our boast. The cross of Jesus is everything to us. And the Galatians have to get this. Because they were headed down the road of strife, and it must be seen for what it is and rejected. Don't go that way. And if we don't go that way, then we must go the other way. We reject the road of strife, and we choose the road of love. And so let's learn more about this road. We've seen the road of strife, now What is the road of love? 2) What Is the Road of Love? Well, I think in this passage Paul also tells us three things about the road of love, and we see the first in verse 13:  For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Right away this tells us … #1 - The road of love does not misuse freedom to indulge the flesh. (v. 13ab) Verse 13 connects us back to last week's passage, to Chapter 5, verse 1, where Paul tells us that Jesus has set us free.  Jesus has saved us by his grace through our faith in him, not by our works, and he has freed us from sin and the law and the curse and from death. All the things that used to enslave us and trap us in fear — the power of those things that used to rule us — has been broken.  Pastor David said last week: we are freed from those things AND we are freed for loving one another.

Serve others through love so that they would know a little bit more about God's love for them.  And see now we've come to the very foundation of it all.  The Foundation of It All We've looked at these two roads — we've seen the road of strife and now we've looked at the road of love — and whichever road our church takes is for our church to decide. So can we decide love? [Can we all agree on that?!] But see, get this: if we are going to walk down and keep walking down this road of love, the most important thing is to know God's love for us. The apostle John says “We love because God first loved us” (1 John 4:19). And that is profoundly true. We're talking depths here.  I like the way one pastor has put it: He says, “a heart aloof from God grows aloof from others. …and ends up engaging in merciless comparisons and endless faultfinding” — or Paul would say you devour one another. This is strife! — And “therefore all restoration” — any renewal we might experience in our love for one another — “begins by going back to God first, prodigals that we are.” (Ray Ortlund, The Gospel, 117) This is where the road of love starts, and it's what we have to remind one another every step along the way.  God — the Creator of the heavens and earth; the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; Yahweh who says I will be who I will be and I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy — God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through the gospel of Jesus Christ has become our Father who knows the very number of hairs on our heads, even as he knew us and chose us before the foundations of the world not to be destined for wrath but to obtain salvation, this God who is so radically for us that nothing can be against us, and nothing can come between us, this God … loves you. He loves you. He loves you. And he made that clear to us at the cross of Jesus, which brings us to this Table. The Table  At this Table, as we receive the bread and the cup, we give Jesus thanks for his death in our place. We eat and we drink remembering that Jesus and his cross is everything to us. And if that's your story this morning, if you trust in Jesus Christ, if you know that you are loved by God, we invite you to eat and drink with us.

Jesus' longest day. His life was draining out of Him. His breathing was hard and heavy. He pushed up with His feet nailed to the cross in order to simply take another breath. Distraught family and friends looked on with horror, grief, and confusion, wondering How much longer can Jesus live?__________That afternoon, the whole earth was covered with darkness for three hours, from noon until three o'clock.About three o'clock, Jesus shouted, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? which means, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?Some of the bystanders misunderstood and thought he was calling for Elijah. One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine and put it on a stick and held it up to him to drink. But the rest said, “Leave him alone. Let's see whether Elijah will come and save him.” Matthew 27:45 TLBThe light from the sun was gone—and suddenly the thick veil hanging in the Temple split apart. Luke 23:45When Jesus had tasted it, he said, It is finished, and bowed his head and dismissed his spirit. John 19: 30Then Jesus shouted, Father, I commit my spirit to you, and with those words, he died.When the captain of the Roman military unit handling the executions saw what had happened, he was stricken with awe before God and said, “Surely this man was innocent.”And when the crowd that came to see the crucifixion saw that Jesus was dead, they went home in deep sorrow. Meanwhile, Jesus' friends, including the women who had followed him down from Galilee, stood in the distance watching. Luke 23:46 - 49 When evening came, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, one of Jesus' followers, went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. And Pilate issued an order to release it to him. Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, placed it in his own new rock-hewn tomb, and rolled a great stone across the entrance as he left. Both Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting nearby watching. Matthew 27:57-61 __________Imagine You have followed Jesus in the crowd up the hill, watched Him drop the cross then climb onto it as they nailed Him to it. Hear the ring of the hammer on the nails as the people grow silent. What runs through your mind?Ask Jesus Help me whisper Father, I commit my spirit to you each time I find myself exhausted and at wit's end.Action As I close my eyes, help me meditate on the truth that I will never be separated from God again.

“When we're talking about audio-only formats, it's especially important that you capture your audience using your voice and it should be impactful so that they tune in and want to continue listening. It only takes seven seconds for somebody to decide they want to change the station, whether that be a song they like or don't like or something that they're hearing that they're not liking." - Dan Friedman   Using your voice to communicate isn't as easy as it sounds. So what do you do if you feel your voice is letting you down? Would you like some personal techniques to help you improve how you sound and your confidence in speaking? Then this is the right podcast for you. I recorded an excellent Clubhouse discussion with Dan Friedman, an expert in the field of public speaking who's certified in the Roger Love Voice Method. Those of us in the voice-over industry already know Dan as an accomplished audio engineer, but he's also a singer, voice actor, and voice coach, and I'll be having a more in-depth interview with him a little later on. So settle back and let yourself be a fly on the wall as we discuss the power of using your voice for more effective communication. A few things to note. First, I was hearing and answering people a little ahead of when the audio was being recorded. That's why my occasional comments are slightly out of sync: it didn't sound that way at the time. And, just so you know, everyone in the room was aware that it was being recorded and would be released in a future podcast episode. To those who raised their hands to participate in the conversation: thank you. When you asked for advice, you helped everyone understand the issues better. So well done! I'll have more of these types of discussions in the future – they're on Wednesdays at 2 PM Eastern Time – so keep a lookout for the schedule of upcoming events in the Clubhouse club, The Power of Sound. As always, if you have any questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.  If you have questions for me, just visit http://www.audiobrandingpodcast.com/ (www.audiobrandingpodcast.com) where you'll find all sorts of ways to get in touch. Plus, subscribing to the newsletter (on the http://www.audiobrandingpodcast.com/ (www.audiobrandingpodcast.com) webpage) will let you know when the new podcasts are available.   The Sound of Your Voice We begin the chat with a talk about ways to build confidence in our speaking, and how awkward just hearing our own voice can be at first. “The lack of confidence,” Dan explains, “usually comes from people hearing their recorded voice for the first time and not really realizing how they actually sound.” He suggests ways of breaking out of a monotone, such as singing just a little, and listening carefully to the natural rhythm of your voice so you'll know how to change things up. “Everybody needs to be able to communicate effectively these days,” he says, “especially through audio only.”   Going Over the Top “Voiceover,” Dan tells us, “is really kind of you at your very best in whatever emotion you're in.” We discuss the value of tone and pitch, and how well a monotone voice can work (or NOT work) without visual cues. Dan notes that in audio directing, emotions are often a little over the top, and he answers questions about improving your voice, becoming comfortable with it, and the trick to understanding how you're being perceived by your listener. “Getting to like the sound of your voice really does take time.”   Imagine You're a Balloon Dan takes a question from Lisa about the importance of matching your listener's tone, and tips on how to avoid the glottal stop that many of us have when it comes to vowel sounds. We also talk about how to overcome vocal fry by breathing and speaking through your diaphragm, as if you're a balloon.  “When you breathe, you should be breathing in through your nose as often as possible and not through your...

Imagine - You're minding your business, working and living life, when a lady befriends you. She's rich. She's got a massive apartment, a Ferrari, handbags for every outfit. You tell her about your dreams and about how boring this town is. She encourages you to pursue what you want and she'll help! For the low, low price of putting a Porsche in your name, taking out a few loans, and being at her beck and call at all hours, you can have the life you want! And, oh yeah, she needs to borrow your name because she's being tracked by the government. Don't even try Googling her because she's Google-proof! Sounds like a steal, right?

You've probably heard (or thought) that achieving work-life balance is a myth, something unattainable, or impossible. The truth is that we can achieve work-life balance by being more intentional with our time and energy. To start maximizing your time and energy, download the Performance & Productivity Planner here - https://www.consistentpeak.com/planner Let's imagine I gave you $525,600… Imagine… You could spend that however you wanted. Invest it, save it, pay off debt, buy a house, spend it in Vegas, whatever you want. Thing is, 525,600 is the number of minutes in a year. And it's just as valuable (actually more valuable) than if it were in money form. We get to spend that time however we want. Building a business, working a job, pursuing hobbies, falling in love, being with friends and family, the list goes on. The problem is that we're living in an “always-on” culture and we often overwork ourselves because it's easier than ever to work from your phone or computer. Even when we're with the people we love, we still find ourselves on our devices and not being present with them. Today, I'm going to share with you how to achieve a work-life balance. Let's dive in!

It's time to STOP THE CYCLE. On today's episode, we are sharing all of your tips and tricks for staying on track through the holidays and still being able to enjoy food and quality time with your loved ones. ------------------------------------------------------------------

Imagine: You're living your life in New York City, then mom moves in — with you and your partner. Director Sian-Pierre Regis doesn't have to imagine. His film "Duty Free" is a sort of love letter to his mother Rebecca Danigelis, who, at the age of 75, was fired and evicted. With nowhere to go, she was left to rely on Sian-Pierre to help her find more work. What she instead found was a chance to write (and complete) her bucket list and live a life she had always dreamed of, with her son by her side. The journey became a touching film about companionship and aging out, in theatres mother's day weekend. In this re-run of an interview originally conducted in December 2020, the two join hosts Benton and Tristan to talk about their journey, the critically acclaimed film and so much more.

Hey everybody---My guest today is charles mylinsky--- charles was part of the original team that started jet.com and later sold to walmart for 3.3billion.  He is now  the chief product officer at OJO Labs.    I recently talked with Chris heller and found out that he joined ojolabs. Why would top talent like these two guys join a chatbot company?    I am always compelled to look deeper when I see something that looks interesting OJO labs started in 2015 and to date has raised 134M in venture capital.  How does a chatbot raise 134M dollars and capture top tier talent?  The simple answer is ---it doesnt---- not unless you have much bigger plans.    with the recent news that zillow recently announced they were buying showingtime for 500M dollars.  Zillow has made it very apparent that they are trying to be the bridge between an agent and a consumer. Looking a little deeper i found that OJO has a strategic partnership with wolfnet technologies which has 100Million property profiles similar to the size of zillow property database. They  acquired Movoto  which is a top 5 home search portal with about 20M unique visitors a month and coincidentally the the second-largest fully licensed online real estate brokerage in the US and realsaavy which is  a web development shop with a unique search function. and their whole business seems to rest on two patents around machine learning and distributed networks.  Machine learning or AI------ it needs tons of data for it to work..   Understanding that OJO’s mission to help people make better decisions through the fusion of machine learning and human intelligence?  Which is actually human assisted machine learning where humans are doing a lot of the sorting and matching as the machines  in the network learns.  Put in enough conversations and you hit an inflection point where a machine is conversant.  It can answer many routine and maybe non routine questions in a home sale or purchase. I dont actually know anything about what this company is doing or planning but, all of this seems super interesting.  Imagine You had a search portal with 20M uniques,, a zillow sized property profile database and you own a web development company and the only thing missing is millions of conversations for your AI to become conversant?   Imaging all those pieces together and what is possible is exciting.  I wonder how you might arrange them in order to capture, record and sort millions of conversations. You need an end to end marketplace---ebay, airbnb, etc.  The thing with marketplaces is that they are incredibly difficult to build---the good news is that if you can build it they are indestructible as long as both the buyer and seller are capturing value. The foundation of a marketplace is trust and the sad piece of truth about this industry is that there is too much agent turnover for most consumers to distinguish between a good agent or a bad agent. Good information or bad information. If agents would like to get qualified consumer leads it makes sense that the consumer would want a qualified agent lead--- could a personalized and customized technology solve both sides of the equation.  OK--enough of my rambling

Imagine: You're not in the shape you should be. You've of lost your direction. You've hit a low. That was Lindsay Dare Shoop. Eight years later, she was taking home gold at the Olympics on the US Rowing Team.  Today she tells Joe De Sena, founder & Ceo of Spartan,  how she made that transformation and all the things she learned in the process that make up her book, "Better Great Than Never." “I didn't think I was good enough to play a sport after high school. So I quit sports and spent about two and a half years, kind of wandering aimlessly without them.  Gaining weight, grades dropping, kind of socially withdrawing, and then through a random kind of chance moment bumped into the head rowing coach when I was in college,  and in that day on that moment, the timing was right. And it was like this. The opportunity arose right when I needed it.” Today's episode of Spartan up is brought to you by BetterHelp.  Spartan Up listeners can save 10% on their first month by going to www.BetterHelp.com/Spartan LINKS: About Lindsay Shoop https://www.lindsaydareshoop.com/ “Better Great Than Never” https://bettergreatthanneverbook.com/   FOLLOW SPARTAN UP: Spartan Up on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/spartanuppodcast/ Spartan Up on Twitter https://twitter.com/SpartanUpPod   CREDITS: Producer – Marion Abrams, Madmotion, llc.

Imagine: You're an aging big-wig billionaire, respected by many but feared by all. Everyone you meet wants what you've got, and that's MONEY. So they attempt to peddle their wares and sell you on the next "big idea" in hopes that you'll be inspired enough to cut a big, fat check to make all their dreams come true. You've heard it all and it all stinks; so much so that you're not sure you'll ever make another $125M investment again. You're ready to pack it all up and never work in this town again when suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere appears a (literally) bright-eyed and (literally) bushy-tailed 19 year old college dropout with an idea so crazy that it just might work. In the Inventor, we follow the rise and fall of grifter goddess Elizabeth Holmes as she wages a deadly war on phlebotomy, fashion, and ethics alike. Join us as we assess the relationship between Elizabeth's hair as it interacts with her turtle necks, wonder how people in Arizona spend their money at Walgreens, weigh in on science?? and tech???, and ultimately ~change the world~.

Many families traveling to the sun-drenched ocean town of Long Beach, California in the summer of 1977, would take a day trip and visit the Nu-Pike Amusement Park; picture Coney Island on the West Coast. With its vintage rides, shows, games and attractions and located on the beautiful breeze-swept beach, Nu-Pike was a favorite amongst locals, as much as it was with out-of-town tourists. But in the summer of 1977, amongst all of the sun and fun, not everything was what it appeared to be, even with all of the intentional illusions and deceptions. Imagine: You walk off of the Long Beach Boardwalk and into an amusement parlor. The operator instructs you to carefully step down into the ride car. The lighting is so dim, that seeing what is around you, much less where you are stepping is challenging. You take a seat and the attendant slides the arm-bar down over your lap, with an audible ‘click.' The car lurches forward and into the brightly colored, black-lit door welcoming you into Nu-Park's House of Horrors. So, sit back, buckle up, and maybe dim the lights just a bit… as we take YOU on a ride through this week's episode of The Missing Chapter. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/themissingchapter/support

Barry Shore, the Ambassador of JOY, is excited to bring YOU one of the most positive purposeful and powerful people on the planet: Garrison Redd. He's the kid from Brooklyn NY (and the most crime riddled part at that!) who as a bright 17 year old was outside his parent's apartment on a lovely summer evening and was shot in an accident that left him a paraplegic confined to a wheelchair. Prior to this he was a rising high school star in several sports. No what?! Here's what DID happen. With the encouragement of his parents, several close friends, and his deep introspection Garrison emerged as a determined, purposeful, driven person. Consider these in the past few years alone: TEDX Speaker, Team USA Paralympic powerlifter, model, and advocate for the rights of the disabled. Barry Shore, a recovering quadriplegic and a long distance swimmer, brings out the BEST of Garrison and it's all for YOU. Imagine YOU in any of these circumstances. What would YOU choose. Tune in to be INSPIRED.

Imagine: You’re pregnant and your doctor offers you a DNA edit so your baby can avoid a terminal illness. Do you do it? That decision is coming sooner than you think. Turns out an expert professor on DNA-editing (who is also a Christian) had some early conversations with the Chinese scientist who shocked the world in 2018 by editing two real babies DNA. The trouble is, the Chinese scientist has some compelling moral reasoning for what he did: and he explains them on YouTube. What do we think of this? Plus we namecheck an amazing old-school sci-fi movie that imagines a DNA-based world... Can you guess? Links Sorry, Chris declined to provide a link to his DNA test results. (see privacy - ha!) MIT Technology Review broke the CRISPR Babies story. He Jiankui describe his work with gene editing babies in this YouTube video. The Atlantic provides a good summary of reactions within the scientific community. Blood tests for Downs Syndrome have had consequences its inventors did not foresee or intend. Some evidence suggests He’s gene-editing may have enhanced the babies’ brains too.

Marc is the ONLY known 5 year survivor of de-differentiated chondrosarcoma. A former D1 football player for the University of Texas, father of 3, and devoted husband learned almost a decade ago that his life was most likely to soon come to a close. With his optimistic and make the most of it attitude, Marc is beyond 9 years of being in remission for a once thought to be incurable condition. Marc has since turned his experience into giving back and has become a private pilot and flies today's cancer sufferers to treatment from North Texas (Decatur), and volunteers his time with many charities including Raquel's Wings For Life.

anything else like that but I think I walked away as best we can be that had since probably I was a baby's kids really good pedicure now don't even have to ask what you been up to because you and I rush to hang out we were this last weekend he and Emily were business makes a little bit of pleasure yeah and that was in the Utah powder mountain that was awesome incredible skiing lots of powder fantastic so much snow for late March he was beautiful is a great place to go and visit not crowded either now our ski experiences were little bit differently where they were loaded and so to put it in context Eric was like Kelly dropping and taking these tractors up and I actually had escorted down the mountain by two wonderful people Lindsay Vaughn and Susie Chapstick but it was Juliet and Karen are awesome so I survive it was a big thing didn't break anything didn't do anything but the our expenses were totally different you came back just on my couch that was incredible backcountry all powder and I was like oh yeah my little different I had two women sort of guiding me down the mountain the whole way so there's no shame in effect I'll even say whenever you but whenever we yeah got into our skis the first day you had planned on even making a few runs together it was snowing so hard I stopped to buckle up my helmet is safe and I looked up and Ken and the other four people that I was skiing with were gone they probably want you probably want 20 feet away from me but it was a complete wideout for the first what our we skied oh no I Don't I ended up staying in that area and like true why don't I lost everybody like it was you couldn't see your hand in front of you who not only did I not been skiing over 10 years that's not the way to start now and shout out to Blake Kingsbury for finding me he looked like a yeti lost in a snowstorm and that basically was my beacon on the way down I had no idea how to get down but dad know that was that was a great time up it to powder mountain if you like skiing snow skiing deep powder skiing you take yourself a big powder mountain we move on here a little bit to basically the news because yesterday while we were working at the Indocin or you ran up to me you said look at this study this is a little bit more in terms of what we've been talking about bore catalysts and what causes cancer I will let you take it over from there because it's pretty pretty incredible piece but thought it was so it was just published a photo so appropriate to have Mark on the show were duly talking about cancer and surviving cancer well in this just recently published in the Journal of science this month they did a study with a looked at how high fructose corn syrup actually enhances colon cancer in mice so what they did is they took the equivalent of one soda a day and they gave the mice that amount of fructose corn syrup the issue is that they had genetically engineered these mice so that they would get polyps and cancer sure which is funny because you wonder like your to be genetically engineered you never think that your to get that like I'm genetically engineered to be faster genetically engineered bigger stronger than one poor mouse is like on genetically engineered to get cancer and that's how they end up looking at these different studies so what they did as they showed that by giving the high fructose corn syrup dramatically raise the amount of polyps and cancer over 80 times the mice that were not given high fructose corn so this is with an equivalent of one soda one soda a day so it's absolutely incredible because I love your member but a year ago study came out where was looking at how the rate of colon cancer millennial's has been going to share we did a video on that on YouTube or Ricardo was we did the interpretive jujitsu and what it showed is it dealt with the millennial's were getting a higher rate of colon cancer because of obesity they should with these mice they did not become obese they did not develop metabolic syndrome it's strictly due to the fructose and the sugar that they were consumed then they were able to actually show that I take it was fructose the tumor cells love it so much that they could put a radioisotope and they could show that it just got sucked up it turns on certain genes that allows the tumor to go undetected absolutely fascinating because the fructose and that the high fructose corn syrup they believe could be very similar to others like table sugar bottom line is tumors love sugar and this is the first study that's been done were really actually look at that and it's actually fascinated Mileage Is about to Come to Clear My Throat What This Actually Shows Is Now They're Looking at How to Actually Adapt Fasting Plus Ketogenic Diet When You Have Two More Surprises If You Can Give Him Sugar That's Just Going to Absolutely Feed It like Crazy so Fascinating Study Just One Soda a Day Can Do This Just Write down A Few Things Here Because You Said A Lot Of Impressive Information so If We Were to Backtrack and We Can Take Away That Tumor Cells Love Sugar and Live They Love Circulating Glucose That's Going to Be Their Main Desired Use for Energy and That's How They Grow They Don't Have Energy They Can't Grow Something Else That You Said and There Was Was Really Captivating to Me and That Is They Were Able to Take the High Fructose Corn Syrup after Consumed and Basically Activate A Process Where the Body Could Not Detect That They Were Tumors Themselves so Not Only Were They Now Stealing the Energy so They Could Continue to Grow As a Cancer And Develop into a Bigger Tumor Diesel Tumors Now Are Being Able or Allowed to Activate Something Where They Were Basically Incognito Not Being Able to Be Detected by the Mice and Their Immune System Greg Will Exactly Actually Gets into so This Is Where I Start Getting into the Geeky Stuff Little Bit There's an Enzyme Called Keto Hexokinase Which Will Change Fructose into Fructose One Phosphate While That Turns on The Gene in the Tumor to Use the Glucose More so That's What Tells It to Absorb It More so It Actually Little Cascade and They've Actually Shown the Third Trying to Develop Drugs That Actually Block That So There's Ashley Phase 2 Clinical Trials Going on with Her Trends If They Can Block That One Little Enzyme Does That Sure so What Then The Able or Would We Then Be Able to Extrapolate That Maybe the Reason Why Millennial's Are Now Seeing an Increase In Colon Cancer Is Because Generationally Probably If We Were to Back It up Two or Three Generations We've Seen an Increase in Sugar Consumption People Believe That Sugar Is Related to Inflammation That Those Two Things Combined Together Are Now We Are Seeing an Increase in These Types of Cancers They're Being Detected Because When You Consume Any Type of Food He Goes Straight to Your G.I. Tract Would You Say That This Is Somewhat Related or Possibly Related Will That Was the Funny Part Is This Study Gets You Thinking about That Because When They When They Were This Is the First Time That We Have Seen People Having a Higher Incidence of Colon Cancer Than Their Parents Rights for Simon so It Was Speculated over It's Gotta Be Obesity It's Gotta Be the Metabolic Syndrome This Is the First One Would You Look at Something Ago Now Looks like It's the Way That Were Processing Food The High Fructose Corn Syrup Is in Everything Everything but It's Really Concentrated One Can of Soda and so the Consumption of Soda Has Increased since the 80s Significantly So Is It Our Diet That's Doing This Were Trying to Label It with Different Things Owed Sedentary Lifestyle or Possibly It Smoking or Whatever Now Looks like Our Diet Is Really Contributing to the Amount of Cancers That Were Seeing You It's Wild If You Just Look Back I Can Never Looking Back at Pictures of My Dad or My Mom Growing up and What Family Pictures Look like Whenever They Went on Vacation He Would See Everyone and All the Ancillary Players in the Photographs Around And Who They Considered to Be Overweight Back Then In the 50s and 60s and Stephen the 70s And It's Starkly Different Than the Then the Body Type so What People Look like Today and What We Consider Overweight and for Me Personally I Really Don't Even Point It Those People It's Just Our Food Supply Is so Inundated With Lots of Things That You Just Are Unaware Could Possibly Be Contributing to Natalie Being Overweight but Probably the Diseases That Maybe Are Going to Have That You Don't Even Know the Are Manifesting Right Now Unfortunately Possibly Even Colon Cancer for Millennial Becomes Really Kind of the Disheartening That They Are Actually Allowing or They'd the Insurance Companies Are Allowing Us to Screen People at an Earlier Age and They Wouldn't Do It If It Weren't In Balance with with Cost It's Always More Cost-Effective to Catch a Cancer Early Then Late so If They Are Allowing People to Not Have To Wait till 50 To Come in and Just Get Their First Screening and Now They've Lowered It Doubly 4545 and If There's a Family History of Violence Then It's 42 Start to Begin and That Was Not That Way It All 10 Years Ago for Sure It Was an End It's Fascinating Because Here I Am I Just Got This Article Yesterday You and I Were I Was Doing Colonoscopies Yesterday and I Just Started Jumping up and down Because I Realize That When Patients Go into Recovery Most of Them Are Given a Can of Soda after They Get out There Sentiment. To That Right Now Were to Put a Stop Ides I Told All the Nurses Alike No More so to Tour Patients Were Trying to Stop Colon Cancer And Were Causing It by Drinking Minnesota so We Should At Least Lead by Example Would Be Given Patients a Pack of Cigarettes with Her Leaving the Endo Center I Got Admit It Did Nobody in the Hospital System Seems to and from RT Friends at Them so I Bet If You Want to Find the Smoking Dock Just Look for the Respiratory Therapist outside of the Hospital Why That's the Same at Every Single Hospital Ultimate Training Every Hospital Billing I Don't Know Either It It's It's It's Really Kind of Fascinating Hey Before We Might Give Any Other Quick Takeaways from This Particular Study Rotates Just That This One Is Just so Impressive Because It Really Shows That the Way That We May Be Treating Cancers in General Is Wrong so I Talked to Some My Cancer.Friends of My Katie Put People in a Ketogenic Diet Greatly When the Do That No We Don't Do You Ever Use Fasting When Somebody Has Us and We've Discussed before That the Fasting Mimicking Diet Actually Has Been Shown to Improve The Effect of Chemo And Decrease the Amount of Side Effects but That's Still Not Being Implemented so Here Is One Example It Always Starts out As Animal Studies Are Which Is When Humans but I Think That This Is the First Step to Show Hey Proper Treatment of Cancer Is to Starve It Not to Just Dump a Bunch of Sugar on It Which Is What Were Kinda Doing Yeah Isn't It Interesting That Maybe Even When Your Body Is Trying to Recover from an Episode of Cancer Not Just When It's Chemo Induced but When People Begin to Lose Weight Everyone Immediately Becomes Concerned Possibly It's Sometimes the Body Just Knows What He Wants to Do And by Starving These Tumors from the Circulating Glucose Is Its First Mechanism of Defense We've Got to Stop Feeding This Is Base Leads Rogue Cell Or Whatever It Is It Happens to Be Going Out Of Control Yeah… That I Think It's Faster Oh Did You See the Speaking Fascinated to See That That's California Man Was Awarded $80 Million Because He Had 56 Acres That He Was Using Roundup for Decades $80 Million That Is so Wild That It so It's an Incredible That It It Took This Long to Find out about and We Were Spraying It on Everything so We've Got Dividing up the Deck Stacked against You If You Got a Carcinogen on Your Food Chair and Then If You're Going to Take the Corn Fructose Which the Horn Was Sprayed Right Now We've Got a Double Whammy Going on Right There You I Can or When the First Big Move in a Big Push of the Non-GMO Foods This 90 Mode Foods That and I Was Really Rather Ignorant in Terms of What That Actually Meant And It Was Really Easy to Find Detractors from People Who Were Reporting That Movement like All They're Just They're Just Afraid They Were Doing New Technology in Food Development and Etc. so Much More Than That It Comes down to Protecting You and Yourself from Carcinogens Which Can't Taste You Can't Detect You Have No Idea You Have the Healthiest Person in the World Is Exercising Not Smoking Trying to Eat Right And While They Are Eating the Foods That They Trust Such As a Great Piece of Broccoli Vegetable Actually Consuming Glyphosate or Roundup In Their Food and They Get Sick That I Read Another Article Which Showed If You're Exposed to Round up on a Regular Basis You Have over a 41% Chance of Getting Lymphoma Hodgkin's Lymphoma I Don't Know Where They Got That That I Need to Find the Actual Article but in This Particular Study They Were Referencing Ups I Think That Was Used As a Type of Cancer That That Man Got And That's Why He Was Awarded This so Probably for a Follow-Up Episode Because What We Do Here Is Always Try to Speak into the Facts and Know That We Seen the Trend on Various Types of Cancers Including Lymphoma Have Been Increasing I Just Don't Have It on Hand That We Will Tackle That Probably in a Future Episode in Terms of the Non-GMO Versus GMO Roundup Life Estate Is or Has To Be Something to Though Because You Have the Lymphoma Belt in the United States Which Is Nebraska and Iowa Run from Agronomy and That's What University Breast Is so Good at Transplants Because They're One of the First Places to Do the Autologous Bone Rail Transport Because They Were Seen so Much Leukemia and Lymphoma And They Didn't Technically Everyone Said They Couldn't Explain They Didn't Know What It Was But It's the Same Thing Is Whenever They First Figured out the Black Lung Was Kind of the Problem In Minutes It's Really No Different EE No One Created the Industry to Make People Sick but Once People Began to Get Sick It's like What's the Acclamation Here Are Just Kind Crazy Everybody's Getting Sick and You Realize It's a Sit in the Air and You It's It's Really No Different from the Time That You and I Went to Virginia We Worked in the Coal Mine That One Day Yeah with Zoo Lander Haplotype Man Man's Underrated Moving Speaking of Movies Are Yesterday's Sent Me His at His Top Five Movies or Lease That I Reminded Him of That He Wants to Cover Why Does He Send Them to Well He Said to Me Because I Was Just Curious on What He Would like to Talk about Ancillary

so We I Think in the Future What We Should Do Is You We Should Have an over under Policy Only Jessica Make Riley Barbara Walters Style Okay Really Did Indeed Make Sense That Something I Met Me Physically or a Mean Just by My Emotional Place Was Funny Because I Actually at the Conference We Are at 01 of the Things Was They Had a Bunch of Movie Directors That Were Actually There They Were Discussing When They Start Doing like Dr. Series Interviews When the Guest Starts Becoming Uncomfortable That's When They Get Their Best Footage and They Really Start Pushing the Boundary Right There so That No Question That Make Sense Though Because It's Gonna Be the Emotion I Said, Raw Motion Is Coming out yet Exactly so If You Can Just Get Everything That's Real Let's Put on Them or Not Billy Gilbert in the Show Here It's Somebody's Review on Some People to like the Movie That Is What It Is but It's Real So before He Finishes the Last Half Hour One of the Main Questions That We Got since Our Last Episode and That We Get A Lot on Polyphenols CBD Really Bob about Your Hobbies but the One That Really Stuck out to Me That We Had Asked I Think Six Different Times Was How Does CBD Address Anxiety and We Don't Have a Whole Lot of Time Right Now but That You Take That You Would've Drilled a Hole Show on That but Basically the Way That I Tell My Patients Is CBD Just Sort of Presses the Reset Button and Puts Everything Back in Balance and If You Think of It Anxiety Is Just an over Firing Nervous like Sensitive Nerve Always Does Is Just Calm It down like a Traffic Cop so That You Just Get All the Anxiety Is Just a Perception of Neurons Firing Right below the Extreme Version Would Be Seizure Early on Just Because Everything down Gets to Go Back to Normal Now so I Kind of Explained It to My Patients Might Just Try It If You Have a Deficiency in Your Endo Cannabinoid System Chances Are You Can Have a Pretty Good Response with Wild Thing Is the Just of Multiple Applications for Utilizing The Indo Cannabinoid System Which Everyone Has In Their Own Body Basically Resetting Just like He Said to Make People Feel Better and There's a Bunch of Different Ways to Make It Happen but Rather Than Make It Sound like a Magic Pill for Everything We Really Want to Break That down and Build Keep Those Questions Coming Dealing with Anxiety Is Something You're Going to Have Someone on a Think in about Six Weeks I Think so You and at That Point Time Will Get a Much Much Much Deeper but Any Other Applications of CBD and Questions like That Combine with Polyphenols… Gasifier Questions Because This Is Holding Figure Who Do Other Episodes Definitely What Is the Old Anybody That Swimming Towards Us Asking a Question We Want to Address It and We Have the Ability to Bring Some Experts in and Were Just Gonna Make Sure That We Do This and Try to You Have Some Fun but Also to Work, Science Here and so We Want to Make Sure That We Use Science and Studies to Explain Everything in a Very Delay Term Hopefully We Can Do It Because the Other Cannabinoid System Is a Tough System to Explain He Said Were There Hopefully and That's Something That We Want to Do Today with Today's Guest Is Going to Join Us in the Next Half Hour Will Bring All Hope to Everyone This Is Our Next Guest Is Mark Simone and He Is the Only Documented Five Year Survival Are Survivor from D Differentiated

That Story Anymore Either And the You Know He Leaves and Then We Go through All the Scenarios over the Statistics What's Is This Legit How Do You Know Is Is a Misdiagnosis We Believe in Miracles Mistakes And He Wouldn't Talk about Any of That Stuff Just Works on a Positive Attitude No You Have Good Family Good Support Group and We Need to Pray to Whoever You Pray to And the In Order to Go As Best We Can Only Point I Would Become Polytheistic Sure Start Praying to All of Them Well and He Leaves Right and so There Is a Guy in Town Aaron Milstein Was in Town Visited Me in the Hospital and This Guy Delivers Loses Me an Error My Dad I'm 10 Crap And My Wife's Back Home And She Had Heard This in a Cigarette I'm Not Saying a Word Aaron When You Go Home You Not Saying a Word to Your Wife I

Separation You Denial Whatever What You Gonna Do Now Get Your Fair Share Is My Tell You That You Get Zero Liberty Anything but Your Kids And in the Lives of Things That Night I'm Laying in Bed and Talk about Having No Begin Being the Religious Was out Born and Raised in the Church and Hence Have a Pretty Good Religious Background but I'm Pitched at That Point I'm Having a Fight with God More Argument The Stages Brother and This Isn't Happening to Me And I've Got a Wife I Get Three Kids If I'm Good – I'm Okay Back but I'm Not Okay Leaving Them Alone Without Needed to Take Care Of My New Summer Influence Rest Their Life And the Time Marcus Was Third Grade and Then EAN Where like to Fit in Sync with Their Six Grade Yeah They're Not Rulon I'm And Some past Minimum Wrestling in Bed before Because I Can't Get Any Risk As I'm in so Much Pain Amount to Different Campaign I'm Fighting in Bed And, and I Asked the Doctor Early about Miracles Mistakes And I'm I'm Telling You since I'm Sitting Here Pam There's a Just Peace Washes over Me and I Was like I Got This Boot You Have To Worry about It Again from That Point on Never Thought about It Again No New That I Just Knew I Was Gonna Survive My Job Was Just to Sit Back and Let the Doctors Do What They Do Just Survive And I Never Had Another Doubt It Was Just Another Doubt When You Go to All Kinds of Different Emotions but at That Point I Can Pinpoint That Particular Night In That Particular Time Lay in My Bed That Just This Piece Just Should Just Watch the So It Was a Journey so Obviously Held That the Doctors There Was Intervention There Was Medicine Use What Was the First Step and Then Going through That Kind of Schedule Well after He Told Me Also Dine Six Months He Says Renders and Chemo Which One Part of the Original Plan And He Says If the Cancer and Get Your First Chemo Might Take You to His Close like in the Death And so Started at about 240 Pounds And Ended up at Hundred and 87 Pounds Not Hear My Head Not Eyebrow Not on Those Here Nothing to My Butt Crack Nothing Great I Got a Great Plus Track Story I'll Tell You What I Think Is Interesting It's like I Can't See Any Hair Appear Honey Get over Here and Check It Check It You Opened It up so I Got a the Story Them so Now They Get You up to Rehab Right and You Get Move in and and Running It through One of My Jobs Was to Get up Just Walked to the

the Body Language That Best Personality That You Become so the Survival Piece I Think Is Is A Lot Of It Is Mental and It's a Battle and If You Decide At Some Point I'm Going with This Then You Can Whip It I Can Tell You That Story but I Could Also Mean There Will Be Another Thousand Stories out There the People Didn't Survive How Do You Know I Remember after It Has a Good While after You Finished Everything You Came up with a Slogan I Think You Started to Incorporate Will Get to It Later but It Was Your Getting What You're Getting Because You've Been Giving What You Been Giving Right And That Can Go Back to Your Attitude Really in Anything Right It's That's Funny I Stole This from Zig Ziglar I Wish I Could Say I Invented or Kept It but It Wallace I Was Gonna Let You Float within the 21 When Her Water, Carried My Wife Work Foreman and Brought Home All the Tapes and so on Wasn't to Home and I Thought Just That's Just so Appropriate Because If You Give a Bad Attitude You Can Get a Bad Attitude and Return And I've Just Goofed around in Different Settings Where People Can Get into a Situation Were A Lot Of Negative Gossip Producing All the Nonsense on Social Media and in the Talking Heads in the News and the Media Nowadays You Going to Setting and Thereby Can Be Fixated on a Particular Item Have This Negative Attitude and You Just Bring One Person in There and You Start Lacing in the Loop with a Positive Attitude and You Watch the Whole Dynamics of the Room Change yet and It's Kinda Interesting Just Somebody's in the Coming Change in Attitude and Works the Same Way yet I Just Know Where to Listen or Ask Might so That's a Big Long Name for the Cancer but It's a Type of Bone Cancer but Is It That Is There Any Other Way to Describe It He's Asking If There Is Any Other Way to Scratch I Have yet Forgot What I Thought As I Have Found Art but That Is Any Other Way to Describe That Type of Bone Cancer Mark The Lie We Had a Listener Who Is Written in and Wanted to Know Better That Long Night – GD Differentiated Congress or, Yeah Indeed Differentiated You Can Convert Sarcoma Condo Sarcomas the Common Name for It but Because It's Special The Differentiated Gallic Alec up and I'll Just Text a Link Back to Them through Spiny and yet It's a It's It's Rare It Say There's Really No Other Way to Describe It Other Than You've Got This Cancer That's Crossing over between the Cartilage in the Bone and This Is Forming The Cancer That's Coming to the End of the Pelvis like That The Edges Sounds While I Equate Just Give Us a Rundown and Then of What the Activities What You Had to Do I Know They Had to Do Chemo You Had Your Surgery So Yeah so We Had 19 Our Own Record of Good Story in This So You Know Is Doctors Going for Any Kind of Surgery They Give You the Purple Pen Right Operate on the Right Knee and so As the Patient Number Right Now No Make a Mark on My Knee Right Knee So When You Go and You Don't Screw up and Mark the Light on the Left So the Plastic Surgeon Guy Comes in and He Still Me All That Were Gonna Do And They Were Going to Take 6 Cm Out Of the Middle of My Stomach All the Way down Past My Bellybutton up Got a Whole Brand-New Bellybutton by the Way And There Were No since This Backup Okay and Their Rent Their Creighton Flaps If You Think about Taking a Big Jump Folgers Coffee Cup Put Record Your Pelvis and Pushing It Always through Your Body Everything That Went into That Coffee Cup Ended up in the Trashcan Okay so You Got a Cavity There Now What Are You Going to Do so They Were Taken the 6 Cm Out Of My Lab to Put into This Flap down Here to Keep My Insides from Falling up the Backside These Pointers Right Going Right Drawing and the So I Took That Purple Pen and I Said Dr. Reese Make Sure You Leave Me a Sixpack Abs on My Stomach I've Never Had a Sixpack Abs I Thought That Was the Only Chance I Was Ever to Get It and He Did a Pretty Dang Good Job But The Orthopedic Lady Worked for 15 Hours Straight And in the Plastics Guided a Four Hour Surgery on Same Day on the Same Setting And so 19 Hours Totals, It's Amazing Crazy That Is a Long Surgery Which Is I Mean Just Absolutely Incredible Because A Lot Of Times We Talked about Where Medicine Fails but Certainly You and I Talked about That True I Feel like Medicine Could Be Doing a Better Job For Instance Controlling Diet Right Then We Have That 15 Hours Surgery That Is Incredible This Is Where It's Definitely Succeeding Yes Well You Guys There's a Reason Why They Call It You Practice Medicine Because There Is Little Perfection in It Because You're Operating on Human Body Which Is Imperfect to Begin with Right And so And We Talked a Bit Earlier How Went from from One Dr. Trying to Chase down a Diagnosis and I Feel Fairly Fortunate That Each Doctor Said I've Tried I've Made an Attempt and I'm in Have To Send You to Somebody Else and so I Kept It Referred over and over and over It Might've Been a Frustrating Situation but in Reality the Doctors Practicing What He Knows And's Finally Stops and Says I Think There's Somebody Better To Help with Your Diagnosis or Help Push You down the Track Where You Need to Be so Appreciated That That They Weren't so Egotistical That Said I Got This in the Switch Problem Is in and Sit Me down You the Wrong Path so It Was Kind of a Neat Progression That See How the Physician Community Just They Work Together Come up with Right Diagnosis at the End of the Day So Then What Were the Were There Any Other Foreign Bodies Any Other Animal Parts That Maybe You're Sporting Right Now That Didn't Just Belong to You Well So I Have Somebody Else's Pelvis and Me Okay and I Don't Know Are You Going on Animal Parts but While I'm Here Here about a Man Not Really Sure so the Good the Joke Is That They Were Looking for Similar Pelvis Same Shape Same Size the Telegraph You Know of Cadaver Bone to Bone And the Want to Find Something And They Finally Find It in the Comments Aren't We Can Do Surgery on This Particular Day Now You Don't Have a Whole Lot of Female Orthopedist Right And the Lady That's down at MD Anderson Is a Female And so I Thought That Was a Little Unusual And I in My Day Job I Do with Physicians All over the Country And so That's a Little in Common So I Go to the MD Anderson Website Liquor up And It's Black Lady Which Makes It Even More Uncommon And When You Meet Her You Go Oh My Gosh You Are Perfect for This Job You Are the Right Person She Is a Freak and Ball Buster and She Always Had All These Other Physicians Following Her around Because She Was Kind of a Pioneer in This Particular Type of Procedure so She Had Called And Finally Found the Bone Mrs. Art Room Schedule Surgery for This Particular Day How Does She Do That like Can't Even Begin Looking for a Pelvis It's Going to Fit In a Could Ever There's a Bone Bank And Oh so You – and Then Donate Your Organs and the and This Is up California and This Is Another Funny Story That I'm at a Conference That I Go
