https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260903dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? Romans 8:24 Saved In Hope When you say, “I hope so,” what do you mean? “I hope the traffic isn’t bad…I hope it doesn’t rain.” It’s a wish more than a guarantee. That is not the hope in our Bible verse today: “In this hope we were saved.” Notice the tense. We were saved. Jesus has already accomplished everything necessary for our salvation. On the cross, he declared, “It is finished.” He paid for every sin. He declared that whoever believes in him already has eternal life. So, if we are already saved, why do we still hope? Because while our salvation is complete, it has not yet been fully revealed. We possess God’s promises by faith, but we have not yet seen their fulfillment with our eyes. Think of a child on Christmas Eve. The gifts are already under the tree. They can see their name on the presents. Yet the child still waits eagerly for morning, longing to unwrap what has already been bought. So, too, our inheritance is already ours because of Christ. Yet we eagerly await the day when every promise is opened before us. That is why Paul says, “Hope that is seen is no hope at all.” If we could already see heaven, there would be no need for hope. If our bodies had already been raised, there would be no need for waiting. But we're not there yet. So, what do we do now? We live by God's promises, trusting that God's Word speaks a reality greater than what our eyes can see. A hospital room doesn’t look like victory, but Jesus says, “Your body will rise.” Tears of loneliness shed on a pillow don't look comforting, but Jesus says, “You are my child.” One day hope will no longer be necessary. Faith will become sight when we see Jesus’ face and rejoice in the glory that cannot be compared to present suffering. Until that day, we live in hope—not because we are guessing what the future holds, but because we know the One who holds the future. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for accomplishing my salvation completely. When my eyes are fixed on the troubles of this world, turn my heart again to your sure promises. Amen.

Episode 194: Pause Here For Inspiration discusses the importance of breaks in the creative process, and the occassional need for resets. Enjoy the episode!

All week we've been talking about playing the long game.Casting votes.Practicing.Progressing.Understanding that the things we do repeatedly eventually become the results we see.Well, today's throwback is that exact philosophy applied to your physical abilities.Push-ups. Pull-ups. Squats. Lunges. Dips. Sit-ups. Planks.Because here's the secret to getting better at bodyweight movements:You practice them.You find the version you can successfully perform today.You master it.You get stronger.You progress it.And then you do it again…and again…and again.There's no magical hack that takes you from zero pull-ups to ten overnight.But there is a path from zero to one.Then one to two.Then two to three.And if you keep collecting those repetitions long enough, one day you look back and realize that something that once felt impossible has become something you can simply… do.And one of my favorite lines from this original episode fits our entire week almost perfectly:“Small behaviors compounded over time will elicit results.”I recorded this episode years ago…and apparently Past me was already setting up Future me for this week's podcast.So today we're throwing it back to Episode 16:How to Get Better at Bodyweight Movements — Push-ups, Pull-ups, Planks, and More.Let's get into it.Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Send us Fan MailAdversity may become part of your story—but it does not have to define who you are.In this episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, David Pasqualone sits down with former college football coach, author, and consultant Jay Paterno for a powerful conversation about faith, family, leadership, resilience, identity, and what happens when the life you expected suddenly changes.Jay grew up as the son of legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, but this conversation goes far beyond football.Jay shares the values his parents taught him, the difference between success and excellence, how to balance family and professional ambition, why children need to learn how to face adversity, and why a leader should never abandon foundational values simply because circumstances change.Jay also shares his personal perspective on the public crisis that changed his family's life, the loss of his coaching career, his father's death soon afterward, and how faith helped him reinvent himself at age 43.In this episode you'll discover:• Why adversity does not have to define your identity• The difference between success and excellence• How to stay grounded in your core values• Why “when you get home, be home”• The Blue Line principle for life balance• Why parents should prepare children for the path• How to stop living in someone else's shadow• Why leaders will never win unanimous approval• The difference between problem people and solution people• How faith and patience help during difficult seasons• Why progress happens one play—and one day—at a timeOne of Jay's most powerful reminders:“You can't let the adversity define you.”And perhaps even more importantly:“That's not the last chapter written in your life.”━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome & What to Expect02:13 Jay Paterno Joins the Remarkable People Podcast03:41 Sponsor Break05:20 Jay's Story Begins05:55 Core Values from the Paterno Home07:00 Faith, Service & “We, Us and Our”09:08 Growing Up with a High-Profile Father09:55 “When You Get Home, Be Home”11:25 The Blue Line: Creating Boundaries in Life12:33 Success vs. Excellence13:38 Faith as a Positive Way of Living16:43 Growing Up as Joe Paterno's Son19:07 Prepare the Child for the Path20:29 Proving Himself Outside His Father's Shadow22:17 Being Released from Other People's Expectations24:33 17 Seasons of Coaching & Lessons from Adversity25:54 Education, Athletics & Developing Leaders28:17 Preparing Athletes for Life After Football32:04 The Penn State Crisis and Jay's Career Reset34:27 Losing His Father35:22 The Book of Job & Reinventing Life at 4338:12 Turning Pain into Prevention & Helping Others40:31 Dealing with Anger, Critics & False Accusations40:46 Problem People vs. Solution People44:18 Protecting Marriage, Family & Faith44:45 “You Can't Let Adversity Define You”45:25 “That's Not the Last Chapter Written in Your Life”46:05 You Don't Need Everyone's Approval49:24 Finding the Pony in the Manure51:50 Advice for Anyone Ready to Quit52:08 Faith, Patience & Hope53:01 Progress Happens One Step at a Time53:32 Life Is the Next Play55:16 Stack the Days & Small Victories55:50 Final Thoughts56:24 Listen.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260902dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. Romans 8:23 Groan With Hope The Bible calls the blessings we receive as Christians (for example, the peace of forgiveness) the “firstfruits.” The full harvest is coming. We have not experienced all the blessings that God promised. Therefore, we still battle temptations and fight our sinful nature. We still feel the aches of aging bodies. Because sin has left its mark on us, we groan. But the Christian’s groan is different. The world hopes things might get better. The Christian groans with certainty. We know things will get better. Our groaning is not the cry of someone abandoned by God. It is the longing of a child waiting to go home. The apostle Paul says we wait for “the redemption of our bodies.” What a wonderful promise! God is not interested only in saving our souls. Jesus redeemed the whole person. The same body that grows tired and eventually dies will be raised in glory. On the Last Day, Christ will transform our lowly bodies to be like his glorious body. No disease. No disability. No pain. No death. Only perfect life in the presence of our Savior. How can we be so sure? Because Jesus has already walked this path. He groaned under the weight of our sin. He endured the agony of the cross. His body was laid in a grave. But on the third day, he rose. His resurrection is God’s guarantee that ours is coming. His resurrection was the firstfruit of others to come. Until then, we do not pretend life is easy. We bring our griefs, disappointments, and fears to our Savior. We groan and pray fervently. And we wait eagerly, knowing that every day brings us one step closer to the moment when our groans are drowned out by the song of victory that God’s children will one day sing forever. Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for making me your child through faith in Jesus. When I grow weary under the burdens of this life, strengthen my hope as I wait for the resurrection of my body and the joy of living forever in your presence. Through Jesus Christ, my risen Savior.

You have the mind of your last 1,000 conversations.Now, just like the 1,000 meals idea…I don't mean that literally.There is no neurological accountant sitting inside your skull counting conversations.But the underlying idea?I think it's incredibly important.Your mind has a history.The things you've practiced thinking about.The skills you've practiced.The problems you've practiced solving.The stories you've practiced telling.The language you've used.The conversations you've participated in.The reactions you've repeated.The attention you've repeatedly directed.All of those experiences become part of the person sitting here today.Because just like your muscles adapt to repeated physical demands…your brain adapts to experience.Resources:Brain.fm App (First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

This week I'm joined by A.A. from the Norwegian black metal outfit Malum to dig into their excellent new album, “From The Voids”. We get into the band's origins as a studio project, the evolution of their sound from their debut, “In Nauseam”, to the new record, and the intersection of Polish and Norwegian character that has emerged in their music. We also talk about taking Malum from the studio to the stage, their appearances at Inferno, the challenges of maintaining anonymity in the middle of Oslo's black metal scene, and what the future might hold for a band that increasingly looks like it's on the verge of becoming something much bigger. On the weekly news rant, I'm joined by two surprise guests - long-time Legion General, @kelu666, and my good friend, Katy Irizarry from Suspiria PR. We celebrate the brilliance of the latest singles by Carnifex, Wayfarer and Manveira, while wailing in despair at the career-worst humiliations offered by the new Pain and Fear Factory tracks. We also talk essential Metallica tracks, bad tour booking and on my Swirly of the Week, the world's worst bedroom techno dork pays a visit to the Porcelain Bowl of Reckoning.    Featured Bands Malum: https://norwegianmalum.bandcamp.com/     Immiserator: https://immiserator.bandcamp.com/    Ovate: https://www.facebook.com/ovatemusic/     Visit intothenecrosphere.com for playlists and more.

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being. (1 Corinthians 10:23-24)   Paul was writing to the Corinthian church, which struggled with issues of liberty, idolatry, and community life. In 1 Corinthians 8, he addressed the question of eating food sacrificed to idols, showing that Christian freedom must be exercised with regard for others' consciences. Believers were using their freedom in Christ as justification for behaviors without considering consequences. Just because we CAN do something does not mean we SHOULD. Personal privilege and liberty must be balanced with considering others.   “Not all things are helpful” (or “expedient”). The Greek word used here means “profitable, beneficial, advantageous.” Freedom must be weighed against whether it produces spiritual or moral good.   This is a key phrase for Christ-followers who are not self-centered: "Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being." We should be about edifying others. The Greek word means “to build up, strengthen, promote growth.”   This should be our aim and culture—not "me," "myself," and "I."

What if the thing you keep running from is the very thing that could finally set you free?Alastair Thompson has lived on five continents, built businesses, chased adventure around the world, and spent decades surfing some incredible waves. But somewhere along the way, he realized that maybe all that movement wasn't just about living an adventurous life.Maybe some of it was running.And eventually, the ocean became the place where he stopped escaping himself and started understanding himself.Today, we're talking about fear, anger, resentment, love, loss, faith, forgiveness, and why sometimes the hardest part of life isn't catching the wave—it's having the courage to paddle out in the first place.And whether you've ever stepped foot on a surfboard or not, I promise you, this conversation is about you.Because sooner or later, life puts every one of us in the same position:The wave is coming.The question is... do you let it overtake you, or do you grab a board and surf it?Ready to Dive Deeper?Purchase Alastair's Book: A Surfer's Guide to Enlightenment by Alastair Thompson - on AmazonConnect with Alastair Thompson @ surfersguide.alastairthompson.comLearn More about Kevin's custom music production agency at KLoweMusic.comListen to: The Ocean Taught In Questions by K-Lowe Music wherever music is found, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTubeMeet the Man Who Let the Ocean Become His TeacherAlastair Thompson is an author, teacher, entrepreneur, surfer, and lifelong adventurer whose journey has taken him from growing up in South Africa to living and working across five continents.After decades spent surfing and navigating his own seasons of change, Alastair began recognizing the ocean as something more than a place to catch waves.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260901dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed . . . the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Romans 8:19,22 Creation Can’t Wait Have you ever noticed how often the world reminds us that something isn’t right? Wildfires scorch forests. Tornadoes uproot trees. Droughts wither crops. Pretty soon, depending on where you live, the beauty of creation will fade with the changing seasons. Sometimes we speak of nature as though it is simply running its course. But the Bible tells us that creation is groaning. It wasn’t always this way. When God completed his work of creation, he declared that everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). There was no death. No decay. No storms. No disease. The world reflected the perfection of its Creator. Then Adam and Eve sinned. When humanity fell, the curse reached far beyond Adam and Eve. God said, “Cursed is the ground because of you” (Genesis 3:17). Thorns and thistles appeared. Death entered. Since then, every hurricane, every broken body, every dying tree, and every cemetery has proclaimed the same truth: sin has affected everything. Yet, there is hope. Creation is waiting for the day when Christ returns to reveal his children. The created world knows, in a way beyond our understanding, that its own freedom is tied to ours. When Jesus raises the dead and makes all things new, creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay. That means the groaning of creation is not the groan of despair but of eager expectation. Just as a mother experiences labor pains in anticipation of celebrating a new life, so does this world. Therefore, we can look at natural disasters differently. We are not left without hope. Every time we see creation suffer, we are pointed to the One who is coming to restore it. When he does, the curse will be lifted, and we will enjoy a new creation forever. Therefore, with creation, we can’t wait. Prayer: Lord Jesus, when I see the brokenness of this world, remind me that you have already conquered sin, death, and the curse. Give me confidence to endure the groaning of this present age as I wait for the glory you have promised. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

I think people often imagine exercise almost like depositing muscle directly into a bank account.I lifted today…therefore I built muscle today.I squatted today…therefore my bones are stronger today.I ran today…therefore I am fitter today.But that isn't really how adaptation works.Training creates a challenge.A demand.A reason for your body to change.Then, between workouts, your body responds to that challenge.And after enough properly dosed challenges…with enough recovery…repeated over enough time…the accumulated response becomes something you can finally see or measure.More strength.More muscle.Greater work capacity.Improved skill.Stronger connective tissue.Potential improvements in bone.The workout is not the finished product.The workout is the request.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Sometimes the best leadership lessons aren’t learned in a classroom, boardroom, or book. Sometimes they’re learned on the blacktop. On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black takes listeners inside his experience serving at Sturgis 2026, a trip that became far more than a mission. It became a lesson in people, pain, conflict, leadership, and his own heart. Mr. Black went to Sturgis to serve a group of people he once avoided and assumed he had little in common with. What he found was a powerful reminder that underneath the differences, people are people. We carry wounds. We disappoint each other. We make mistakes. We want to belong. And we all need grace. Through stories straight from his audio journal, Mr. Black shares three major leadership lessons the blacktop taught him: The Power of Awareness – You cannot change what you cannot see, heal what you cannot name, or lead what you do not understand. The Stewardship of Power – Power doesn’t create character, it reveals what’s already there. Leadership isn’t about having authority over people; it’s about using influence to serve, protect, reconcile, and build. The Courage to Confront – Avoiding conflict doesn’t make it disappear. It gives hurt, resentment, and misunderstanding time to grow. You’ll hear the story of a simple seven-minute confrontation that turned tension into tears, humility, hugs, and reconciliation. It became a living example of what happens when a leader chooses courage over comfort. But Sturgis also became a mirror. Mr. Black gets personal about his own patterns of avoiding confrontation, the cost of allowing unresolved issues to grow, and what God revealed when he finally had the space to become aware of what was happening inside himself. Because leadership isn’t about having people figured out. It’s about continually learning people, understanding yourself, stewarding your influence, and having the courage to deal with what’s real. People will disappoint you. You will disappoint people. You will even disappoint yourself. But God is still working. These are the lessons from the blacktop. Inspiration. Education. Application. When you live your life like it matters… it does.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When he does, the curse will be lifted, and we will enjoy a new creation forever. Therefore, with creation, we can’t wait. Prayer: Lord Jesus, when I see the brokenness of this world, remind me that you have already conquered sin, death, and the curse. Give me confidence to endure the groaning of this present age as I wait for the glory you have promised. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Today we look at another core value of our church: The local church is the primary vehicle that God uses to expand His kingdom.Inspiration & Scripture2 Chronicles 6:18-2118 “But will God really dwell on earth with humans? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built! 19 Yet, Lord my God, give attention to your servant's prayer and his plea for mercy. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence. 20 May your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, this place of which you said you would put your Name there. May you hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place. 21 Hear the supplications of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.Ephesians 2:19-2219 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Why do organizations say innovation is mission-critical, then create conditions that make innovation almost impossible?Fiona Stevenson has spent her career on both sides of that problem.After 12 years at Procter & Gamble, she co-founded The Idea Suite, an innovation consultancy that has worked across hundreds of innovation projects. She is also the co-author of Built for Breakthrough: Why Innovation Fails and How Smart Leaders Get It Right.In this conversation, Fiona joins Marc and Vassilis to unpack why innovation usually fails long before the idea itself is tested.They explore the famous Febreze story and why understanding the actual consumer problem changed the brand's trajectory, before getting into the organizational conditions required for innovation to survive.Fiona explains why big innovation ambitions often collide with tiny budgets, part-time teams and unrealistic timelines; why past data can become dangerous when designing for the future; and why innovators need to build evidence instead of waiting for certainty.The conversation also covers Fiona's six-stage innovation framework:Identify → Insights → Inspiration → Ideation → Iteration → ImplementationAnd perhaps a seventh: Intuition.Plus:Why “we should…” is not an ideaWhy “How might we?” is such a powerful innovation questionHow AI is dramatically lowering the cost of prototypingWhy AI should be an input, not the final outputHow implementation destroys good ideas through “death by a thousand cuts”Why innovation needs dedicated time, not calendar scrapsHow to create an innovation charterWhy the best first step is simply defining the problem properlyIf your organization wants innovation but struggles to actually get ideas into market, this episode is for you.Enjoy the show!Chapters:00:00 Why Innovation Dies Before the Whiteboard01:36 Meet Fiona Stevenson02:16 From P&G to Innovation Consulting04:07 Moving From Client Side to Consulting05:41 The Febreze Innovation Story09:09 Why Consumer Understanding Comes First10:59 What Is Innovation, Really?13:02 The Uber Opportunity Fiona Turned Down14:24 Different Types of Innovation16:23 Big Innovation Ambitions vs. Organizational Reality17:44 Why Stakeholder Alignment Matters20:16 The Innovation Charter21:24 Fear and the Unknown22:00 Why Past Data Can Mislead Innovation23:48 Why Great Marketers Can Struggle With Innovation25:29 Getting Innovation Out the Door27:24 The Future Has No Data28:04 Challenging Assumptions With First Principles30:00 AI as a Tool for Building Evidence32:00 AI, Prototyping and Creative Potential32:51 AI Should Be an Input, Not the Output34:15 “We Should” Is Not an Idea36:03 Why “How Might We?” Changes the Conversation37:39 Fiona's Six I's of Innovation39:09 Insights, Inspiration & Ideation40:28 Why Iteration Matters41:53 Implementation and Death by a Thousand Cuts42:18 Protecting the Idea's DNA42:45 Is Intuition the Seventh I?45:05 Why Skipping Steps Kills Innovation47:06 The Most Undervalued Stage48:49 How Innovation Survives Budget Pressure50:17 Why Innovation Can't Be a Side Job51:39 What to Do Monday Morning53:48 Why Innovation Needs Champions54:26 It's Never Too Late to Redefine the Problem55:41 Built for Breakthrough Resources56:11 Where to Find FionaLink to the book:Built for Breakthrough - https://www.builtforbreakthrough.com/

Tonight's episode was called "Who I am: Whose I am."I titled it this because we use this phrase all the time and really don't know who or whose we are. I gave multiple scriptures to help you understand your character, purpose, gifts as well as who God is as our Creator, Our Father, A Merciful and Gracious God and how nothing is too hard for him. "Who I Am" - is my identity - Who God created me to be, the character, purpose, gifts and calling He has placed within me. (What does God say about me?)"Whose I am" - is my belonging - knowing that I belong to God, that I am His child, and that my identity, value, and purpose are ultimately rooted in Him. (Who do I belong to?)Scriptures from tonight:Who I Am: John 1:12-13 NLT - RebirthRomans 8: 14-17 NKJV/NLT - Adoption/HeirGalatians 4:6-7 NLT - Everything He has Belongs to You.Whose I Am:Genesis 1 - Creator Exodus 34:6 NLT - Merciful & GraciousIsaiah 43:1-7 NLT - We are HisJeremiah 32:27 NLT - Nothing is too hard for HimWays to Sow into Abundantly Anchored Ministries:Givelify & Tithely: Abundantly Anchored Ministries Venmo: AbundantlyAnchoredCash App: AbundantlyAnchoredSee you next Monday at 8 PM CST.Stay Anchored!

Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl White sits down with Kevin Gillespie to explore an important leadership question: what works better, motivation or inspiration? They discuss how motivation can create an immediate push to take action, while inspiration can help people develop the internal drive and confidence to keep moving forward even when no one is pushing them. Carl and Kevin share examples from their own experiences and explain why great leadership is not about choosing one approach over the other. The key is understanding what your team needs in the moment. Sometimes people need encouragement and an example to follow. Other times they need clear standards, accountability, and a respectful push to take action. They also discuss why leaders should focus on the activities people can control instead of only measuring results like applications and closings. By coaching the right behaviors, setting clear expectations, and leading by example, leaders can help their teams improve while building a culture of personal responsibility. Whether you're leading a branch, managing a team, or looking to become a stronger leader, this episode will help you think differently about how you motivate, inspire, coach, and hold people accountable.

The crisis almost never arrives all at once. It builds — quietly, gradually — and then one day, people break.Dr. Adjoa Smalls-Mantey has stood in two of the most extreme places a human can be. As an emergency psychiatrist in New York City, she sits with people at the absolute edge of crisis. Off the clock, she looks for her own edge on the sides of mountains —. A physician-scientist trained at Oxford and Columbia with a PhD in HIV immunology, an award-winning author, and a national mental health policy voice, she joins Jon and Will to talk about what actually brings people into the ER, why economic stress is now hitting the middle class and young adults, and the single lesson the mountains taught her that changes everything: ask for help early.IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:What gets in the way when we need to ask for help?   The most common crises that bring people to the psychiatric ER — and how the demographics are shiftingWhy economic stress is now breaking middle-class professionals and young adults who can't find workCrises build gradually, then people break — and why to call 988 and ask for help earlyWhat mountaineering taught her about asking for help: inexperience delays it, and delay costs the whole teamPut your own mask on first, ask the right person, and keep the ask time-limitedMore about Dr. Adjoa Smalls-Mantey:1.  Instagram & Youtube: doctoradjoa2.  Children's book: Anjali the Brave (All About Vaccines) — on Amazon3.  New York Mental Health Foundation — launching soon 4.  New York County Psychiatric Society (branch of the American Psychiatric Association) — Dr. Smalls-Mantey is immediate past president5.  If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) Check out our Awareness-to-action Self Mastery COURSE & COMMUNITY:12 modules on attention, presence & performance.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260831dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans 8:18 No Comparison A diagnosis. An unexpected funeral. The loss of a job. A difficult marriage. Chronic pain. Loneliness. Anxiety. The daily struggle against temptation. The list can go far beyond the 400-word limit for this devotion. The Bible never denies suffering. Nor does it pretend or promise that Christians have an easier life. In fact, sometimes Christians have a more difficult life because they are Christians. That’s what the Bible call the cross—suffering for the sake of our faith. But when you place our crosses alongside the crown that Christ has prepared, there is no comparison. Imagine placing a pebble beside a mountain or a single candle beside the noon-day sun. The pebble is real. The candle gives real light. But beside something infinitely greater, they fade from view. So, too, the glory Christ won for us by his death and resurrection is so overwhelming that today’s suffering cannot be compared to tomorrow’s joy. That doesn’t mean our pain doesn’t matter. It mattered enough that Jesus entered it himself. He carried the greatest cross ever borne—the weight of the world’s sin, the Father’s judgment, and death itself. At Calvary, our Savior wore a crown of thorns so that one day we would wear the crown of life. Because Christ carried the cross first, your crosses are never signs that God has abandoned you. They are reminders that you are following the Savior who walked this road before you. More than that, they assure you that suffering is never the final chapter of your story. The day is coming when tears will be wiped away, and sin will trouble you no more. Your body will be raised in glory, and you will stand forever in the presence of the One who redeemed you. Until then, fix your eyes not on the weight of today’s cross but on the certainty of tomorrow’s crown. Prayer: Lord Jesus, when the crosses of this life seem too heavy to bear, lift my eyes to the glory you have prepared for me. Remind me that you carried the greatest cross so that I might receive the crown of life. Strengthen my faith to endure with hope until the day I see you face to face. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

Life is far too complicated to reduce a human being to a thousand decisions.But as a metaphor?I think there is something incredibly valuable here.Because so much of where we find ourselves today is the accumulated result of things that happened repeatedly before today.Not yesterday.Not last weekend.Not the last seven days.Often…years.And that is what I want to talk about all week.Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

You already are a light for someone today, even if you can't see it or haven't heard it yet.In this episode, Steph reflects on what it means to be a light in a world that can feel dark, and how our impact often reaches people in ways we never see. She shares personal stories that reveal the quiet power of presence, kindness, and intention, showing how small moments can ripple far beyond what we realize. This conversation is a reminder that positivity isn't a performance. It's a choice that shapes the people around us, often more than we know. Steph invites listeners to recognize their own influence and keep shining, even on the hard days.In this episode you'll discover:Why being a light in the world starts as an internal value, not an external performanceHow your presence can become a source of strength for someone else without you knowing itWhy the ripple effects of your actions reach further than you can seeYour takeaways:People often notice your impact without you knowing it.Small acts of kindness can make a bigger difference than you think.Your actions create ripples that reach far beyond your sight.Chapters00:00 Being a Light in a Dark World05:41 The Impact of Your Presence11:43 Creating Ripples of Change

Last episode we talked about removing interference--getting rid of those things that interfere with our Happy, with the direction we want our life to go. We want to continue on with that idea by talking about running interference, because when we run interference, we remove our interference. Not to mention, when we run interference for someone else and they win...then we win too. Listen as well as share with someone who has run interference for you and your life, you'll be Happy you did, and they will be Happy as well.
