Jesus says we will be known by our love, and our love is to make Him known. But let me ask you a question: Who is the hardest person for you to love? Oh, I know exactly who it is. It’s someone you live with. Someone you work with. Someone in every one of your circles. It’s YOU. You are the person you are hardest on. You know every flaw, every failure, every awkward quirk, every stupid thing you’ve ever said, and every way you think you should be doing better. And because you spend a whole lot of time with you, you’ve become really good at criticizing you. I’m a fan of long-distance relationships. Our time together is short and sweet. It is savored and precious, then you go home. I don’t have to deal with your quirky self on the daily, and let me tell you, girl, you are quirky! You’ve got some weird things you do. Some of y’all label stuff, then alphabetize it. Some of y’all can’t sit and keep your hands still. Some of y’all eat really loud. And some of y’all come up with the craziest cockamamie ideas that no one understands. Oh wait. That’s me. It’s cute for a short amount of time, but then it’s best if we have some space. And that’s the problem. Wherever you go, THERE YOU ARE! You can’t get space from you. You intimately know your struggles. You have to put up with your own darn quirkiness twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. You had a front-row seat to every one of your failures. You don’t even like the sound of your own voice. And let’s not talk about looking in the mirror or seeing yourself in photos. Oh mercy. It’s a real issue. Do you have a hard time loving you? Let’s make this real clear: this is a problem. You will be known by your love, and your love is to make Him known, but you refuse to fully love the one person you can simply never get away from: YOU. I promise you this: you hating you is not an honorable representation of your Creator. You may cover it up as humility, but at its core, it’s hateful. You’re hateful toward you. And you being hateful toward you doesn’t make a single soul say, “Wow, I just gotta know what that girl is doing! I gotta know about the One who helps her hate herself so well. I just gotta know where she gets this deep critical spirit for herself, because I really want some of that too.” Nobody ever says that. In fact, what if your self-hatred is actually telling the world something about your God that isn’t true? Imagine something you own now that you really love. Maybe you love your Roomba. Maybe it’s your Sleep Number bed. How about your Lululemon workout pants? Or your Stanley cup, your Dyson hair dryer, your UGG winter boots, your jacked-up Jeep, your fancy Tesla, or your Dawn Dishwashing Spray (because that stuff is pure magic and gets a three-month-old stain out of your favorite shirt.) You have something you love. Now imagine that product you love started telling you all about how much it disliked itself. What if your UGG boots constantly told you how truly ugly they were? Because let’s face it, those boots are ugly. You know that’s why they’re called UGG, right? Ugg-ly! If every step you took in your UGG boots came with a little voice saying, “I’m so ugly. I hate how I look. I don’t deserve to be worn,” you would eventually start believing there was something wrong with them. ****And there’s certainly something wrong with whoever made those boots, because boots aren’t supposed to talk about how ugly they are. What if your Roomba roamed around on your floors, vacuuming up all that dog hair like she always does, but she started incessantly talking about her clumsiness and her tendency to bump into things? “Oh my gosh, I can never just get from the kitchen to the bedroom without running into everything. I always get stuck under the couch. Gosh, why do I do that? I hate that about my Roomba self. I’m always just wandering around lost, and then I start running low and run out of energy. I just can’t do it all.” If your Roomba started talking like this, you would think the insanely rich creator of the Roomba wasn’t so great after all. Dude, what you made hates itself! Here’s your ah-ha moment: Could that be your representation of God? “Oh, God is sooooo good. He is sooooo faithful. I loveeeeeee God, but I just can’t love me. I’m just messed up. I’m flawed. I’m never good enough. I’m unworthy. But everybody, you should really love the One who personally designed me. He’s great!” Do you see what you’re doing when you are unloving toward yourself? Do you see how it’s totally NOT humble, totally not honoring, and totally not God’s will for you? You see it, don’t you? So when are you going to get serious enough to do something about it? The Bible says in Ephesians 2:10: “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Girl, you are God’s workmanship, his masterpiece. You are not an accident. You are not a mistake. You are not some random collection of flaws that happened to land on this planet. You were made by a Maker. And the Maker gets to decide the value of what He made. Psalm 139:14 says: “Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it.” What if you started seeing yourself through the eyes of the One who made you? Not through the eyes of comparison. Not through the eyes of your worst day. Not through the eyes of the person who rejected you. Not through the eyes of the mirror. Not through the eyes of the scale. Through the eyes of your Maker. Because you know what? The person you have spent the most time criticizing is the person God has spent your entire life loving. You have been rehearsing your failures. God has been lavishing you with grace. You have been pointing out what’s wrong with you. God has been calling you His masterpiece. You have been disqualifying yourself. God has been inviting you closer. Romans 8:1 says, “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” That little voice in your head that never stops reminding you that you’re not enough? That isn’t the voice of your Savior. Jesus convicts, but He doesn’t condemn. There is a difference between God lovingly showing you something He wants to change – and you continually beating yourself up for being human. One leads you toward Jesus. The other makes you hide from Him. Do you want to know why loving others exhausts you so much sometimes? Because you show up already worn out from the battle you’re fighting with yourself. Before you ever greet your family in the morning, you’ve already beat yourself up for how your body is aging, how your energy is never enough, and how you’ve secretly failed yourself. Maybe you put on a good show so no one else sees it, but you hear it. That little voice in your head just never stops. It’s why we struggle with relationships. We’re looking for someone to fill that empty hole within us, but no matter how much they pour into us, it’s never enough because, girl, you keep poking at the hole. God wants to heal that hole in you. He wants to help you calm the voices. He wants you to receive His love so deeply that you no longer need everybody else to convince you that you are worthy of being loved. He wants you to love yourself in a way that reflects the love He already has for you, so you can show up in this world in a way that glorifies your Creator. Jude 1:20–21 MSG: “Stay right at the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life!” Stay right at the center of God’s love. That’s what we are supposed to do. And we do precisely the opposite of this. Us beloved girls of the Almighty, we tear ourselves down in comparison and shortcomings. We disqualify ourselves from the love of God. All while we are supposed to be building ourselves up in faith and keeping ourselves in the love of God. Instead, we shut down. We shrink and hide. We build walls. And we live on the outskirts of God’s love instead of staying right smack dab in the middle of it. God’s love for you hasn’t changed. But when you continually tear yourself down, you are living outside the reality of the love He is inviting you to receive. THIS IS A PROBLEM. A serious problem. And God wants to change that. What if you started practicing the mindset of being profusely loved by God? Think about that. The mindset of being profusely loved by God. If you knew how much your Creator loved you, you would find it easier to love you too. And if you loved you as you were created, you would represent your Creator in a magnificent way. But instead, sometimes you’re the Roomba, wandering around cleaning floors and blasting to the world about your low battery, your tendency to get stuck, and the corners you constantly miss. It’s hard for me to praise your Maker when you’re continually telling me what He made in you isn’t enough. Whew. Let that one sink in. Beloved, build yourself up and keep yourself in the love of God! Today, practice this mindset of being profusely loved by God. Invite your soul to plunge into His love like a dolphin romping in the sea. Go ahead and get that visual. The dolphin clearly doesn’t hate itself. It swims and jumps and celebrates everything it was created to do. And every single one of us absolutely LOVES watching a dolphin. We all literally delight in seeing a dolphin just being a dolphin and doing its dolphin things. A dolphin doesn’t make a lot of money. A dolphin doesn’t speak eloquently. A dolphin doesn’t run marathons. A dolphin doesn’t have a degree. A dolphin does dolphin-ing, and we love it for it! And I’m telling you, we need to see you living like that! We need to see you plunging into God’s love, building yourself up. We need to see you jumping up, unafraid to be seen, loving how your Creator created you. I need to see Catherine Catherine-ing. Rhonda, you honor your Creator when you are Rhonda-ing. Lynette, please bring your Lynette-ing today. Julie, get your Julie-ing on today. Kristin, girl, only you can Kristin like you Kristin. Jessica, your Jessica-ing and Stephanie, your Stephanie-ing shows me your Creator! You don’t glorify God by becoming somebody else. You glorify God by becoming fully who He created you to be. Actively engage in His unending, extravagant, no-strings-attached affection for you. That’s not bragging, boasting, or showing off. That’s saying, “Hey, I’m an UGG boot, and I’m showing up exactly as I was created to. I was designed to look like this, and the One who made me really likes me!” That’s saying, “I’m a Tesla Model 3, and I’m not going to beat a Porsche 911 GT2 RS in a race, but I’m going to get you where you’re going in my own way!” That’s saying, “I’m a Stanley cup. I can’t make my own water, but girl, I can keep your water cold and I can also keep that coffee hot! I’m magical in my own way!” I’m not like you, and you’re not like me. But we can each glorify our Maker when we adopt the mindset of being profusely loved by our Maker. We can glorify our Creator when, like a dolphin romping in the sea, we plunge into God’s love for us—totally enough, wholly chosen, and confidently placed in a time such as this. I’ll stop everything I’m doing to watch that dolphin naturally doing dolphin things, loving its dolphin life. In the same way, I’ll stop everything I’m doing to see YOU naturally doing your thing, loving your life. Ohhhhh, what a beautiful representation of your Creator you are when you keep yourself in His love!

LJ Mitchell has spent a decade as the music director of Elevation Worship, and he joins me for a conversation that begins with performed faith and refuses to stay on the surface. Because the reason we broadcast the walk is the same reason we cannot put down the role: we have confused what we do with who we are, and we are frightened of who we would be without the applause. We talk about releasing what you're known for, the hidden work of formation that no one claps for, and the wilderness that excavates the false scaffolding out of you. LJ is not saying this from a safe distance; he is telling you what it cost him to loosen his grip while he was still holding the thing.

After training sales teams in over 50 countries and helping generate more than 300,000 new customers, Ray Higdon has learned exactly what separates a struggling sales rep from a world class one. It is not talent. It is not personality. It comes down to one skill that most people avoid, and in this episode Ray breaks down exactly why so many good, hardworking people stay stuck at the bottom of their sales team while a small few consistently rise to the top. Ray gets honest about the fear so many reps carry around closing, and why avoiding it because you do not want to be pushy actually makes you more pushy in the long run. He unpacks the real reason prospects say no, and it has nothing to do with your product. It is because you are focused on your solution instead of their actual problem. Ray gives you a simple question you can ask in any sales conversation the moment you feel anxious or feel like you are losing the sale, one that will completely change how prospects respond to you. If you believe in what you sell and you want to help more people say yes to it, this episode will show you the one shift that changes everything.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Jennifer: My superpower is really resilience and never giving up. Through all the trials and tribulations that we all go through in life; I never lose hope and never give up on my dreams.Tampon Tribe is proving that certified organic, plastic-free period products can become a fast-growing business when impact, community and product integrity stay at the center.I welcomed Jennifer Eden, co-founder and CEO of Tampon Tribe, back to Superpowers for Good to celebrate the company's Purpose Built 100 recognition. Tampon Tribe ranked number 10 overall, number 2 among environmental solutions and number 2 among women founder CEOs. That recognition reflects both growth and mission.Jennifer explained that the company began with two pillars: health and the environment. After struggling with endometriosis, she found that switching products changed her own experience. That personal discovery became the basis for a company now working to eliminate toxins, man-made materials and plastics from period care.“We don't compromise,” Jennifer told me. “We don't use any additives, we don't use any chemicals, any toxins, any waxes, any glues, any perfumes, any dyes or any plastics.”She also shared a major milestone: Tampon Tribe recently became GOTS-certified organic as a company. Jennifer emphasized that this certification goes beyond cotton quality. “It's an entire impact certification from seed to shelf,” she said, noting that it considers fair work practices, water use and environmental impact.The product line has grown from tampons to include pads, liners, reusable pads, menstrual cups, period underwear and wellness items. Jennifer sees the company becoming a trusted resource across the full life cycle for people who get periods, including tweens and teens preparing for a first period.One of the most compelling parts of the story is how community helped build the business. Tampon Tribe began with an Indiegogo campaign, then used regulated investment crowdfunding on Wefunder and debt crowdfunding through SMBX. I'm proud to be an investor.

Ep.172ValueSpelling often gets squeezed out of the literacy block, treated as a Friday list test or handed off to spell-check. In this episode, I'm joined by Sean Morrisey, fifth grade teacher, former school psychologist, and creator of The Word Mapping Project, to break down Timothy Shanahan's article on the essential fundamentals of spelling instruction. The article pulls together advice from five leading word experts: Donald Bear, Peter Bowers, Richard Gentry, Steve Graham, and Louisa Moats. Research is clear that explicit spelling instruction improves spelling, reading, and writing. Sean and I dig into what that instruction should actually look like: teaching the patterns and principles behind the words, the complexity of English spelling, the connection between spelling and meaning, and how spelling fits into daily word study and writing.PromiseBy the end of this episode, you will know what to look for in a spelling program and what to change in your current practice. You will walk away understanding why memorizing weekly word lists falls short, how to build a stronger word list that teaches a real principle (including exceptions), how to connect spelling to phonics, morphology, vocabulary, and student writing, and how to keep spelling engaging without losing rigor. Whether you are a classroom teacher, coach, or school leader choosing curriculum, you will have clear, research-based guidance you can use right away.Article discussed:https://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/blog/essential-fundamentals-of-spelling-instruction-with-a-little-help-from-my-friendsSend us Fan MailDecodify is a supplemental, structured literacy toolkit that allows for reading practice in an engaging, purposeful, and educational format.

4st filmer och ett maffigt filmsnack! Först blir det recensioner av The Whisper Man och Mayday. Sen följer några PSA där jag ber er rösta på min podd i Guldpodden. Därefter kommer ett filmsnack med chefsredaktören och grundaren av Moviezine. Fantastiskt trevligt snack. Detta spelades dock in för ett par månader sedan, så vissa takes eller spekulationer kanske är både fel och/eller utdaterade. Sedan följer recensioner av The Invite och backrooms äntligen...! Gillar ni den här podcasten så får ni hemskt gärna kommentera eller ge den ett omdöme via er valda poddspelare :)!

In Luke 14:15-24, Jesus tells the parable of the Great Banquet to reveal the remarkable reach of God's invitation and the excuses that can keep us from responding. In this message, we discover why knowing about Jesus is not the same as trusting Him, how salvation is offered freely because Christ has already paid the price, and why delaying our response can be more dangerous than we realize. Whether you feel unworthy of God's grace, assume that being around church is enough, or recognize that good things have begun taking God's rightful place in your life, this sermon will challenge you to examine your priorities and encourage you to accept the place Jesus has prepared for you at His table. #WalloonChurch #Bible #Rooted #SpritualDisciplines #HolyHabits #Evangelism #SpiritualGrowth #LoveLikeJesus

You know that friend of yours who rails against the evils of high fructose corn syrup? The one who's obsessed with where every single morsel of their food comes from? Writer Michael Pollan — author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, Food Rules, and Cooked — may have made your friend like that. But as we hear in this conversation, Michael himself isn't like that at all. This week, he opens up about everything from how he likes to eat Cracker Jack to the time a fan caught him eating a candy bar in a gas station. And in the later part of this Reheat, Madre Chocolate's Nat Bletter explains that you can tell a chocolate's quality by the sound it makes when you break it. Nat also delineates three types of chocolate eaters: melters , chompers, and chomelters. Nat says different chocolate bars are made for different styles, so if you know your type you'll know your chocolate.These episodes originally aired on September 9, 2014, February 22, 2016, and March 5, 2018, and were produced by Dan Pashman, Anne Saini, Peter Clowney, and Kristen Meinzer.

Yesterday Is Not Prophecy: Don't Limit What God Can Do Have you ever looked at an area of your life and thought: "This is never going to change"? Maybe you've been single longer than you expected. Maybe your marriage has been difficult for years. Maybe you've prayed for one of your children to come back to God and nothing seems to be happening. Maybe your finances are stuck. Your career isn't moving. Your ministry isn't growing. You haven't helped someone become a Christian in years. And after enough disappointment, it's easy to start turning your history into a prediction: "This is just the way it's going to be." In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob looks at one of the strangest—and funniest—stories in the Old Testament: 2 Kings 7. The city of Samaria was starving. An enemy army had surrounded it. Food was gone. Prices were out of control. There was no visible way out. Then the prophet Elisha announced something outrageous: Within 24 hours, everything was going to change. One of the king's officers couldn't believe it. Even if God opened the floodgates of heaven, he argued, how could something like that possibly happen? From everything he could see, his conclusion made perfect sense. But he made one critical mistake: He left God out of his forecast. Then four starving men with leprosy walked toward the enemy camp expecting they might die—and discovered that God had already caused the entire enemy army to flee. Suddenly there was food. There was silver and gold. There were clothes and supplies. And within 24 hours, the famine was over. Exactly as God had said. Yesterday Is Not Prophecy We often do the same thing as that officer. We take our present circumstances. We combine them with our recent history. Then we project both indefinitely into the future. "I'm single now, so I'll probably always be single." "My marriage hasn't changed, so it probably never will." "My child walked away from God, and I don't think they're coming back." "My ministry hasn't grown, so maybe it never will." "I've always struggled financially. That's just who I am." But your past is not prophecy. Your disappointments are real. Your current circumstances are real. But they do not necessarily tell you what God will do next. Rob shares two personal reminders of this. His son spent approximately ten years far away from God. There were times Rob couldn't imagine how that story would change. Then it did. His son returned to God and was baptized. Rob also remembers being single and thinking he had practically met every eligible Christian woman around him. Then Pam flew into town from Cairo, Egypt. Rob never saw that coming. They recently celebrated 36 years of marriage. Leave Room for Black Swans Rob also explores the idea of a "black swan"—an unexpected event that challenges everything we thought we knew. For centuries, Europeans assumed all swans were white because every swan they had ever seen was white. Then explorers arrived in Australia and discovered black swans. Their conclusion wasn't foolish. Their experience was incomplete. And so is ours. Just because you've never seen something happen doesn't mean it can't happen. Just because God hasn't worked in a particular way before doesn't mean he won't. Faith isn't pretending your problems aren't real. Faith doesn't guarantee that you'll get married this year, every illness will disappear, every financial problem will vanish or every child will immediately return to God. Faith says: "I don't know what God is going to do, but I refuse to limit God to what I can currently see." So ask yourself: What have I quietly decided can't change? Your marriage? Your singleness? Your health? Your finances? Your career? Your ministry? Your relationship with your children? Your fruitfulness? Your spiritual life? Maybe it's time to pray again. Invite someone again. Study the Bible with someone again. Work on your marriage again. Reach out to your child again. Apply for the opportunity. Ask for advice. Try something new. Dream again. Don't confuse: "I don't know how" with: "It can't happen." And especially don't confuse: "I can't" with: "God can't." Take the next step and leave room for God to surprise you. Because sometimes the difference between famine and abundance is only 24 hours. Make this life count.

Join the DadAwesome PRAYER TEAM:    Recieve updates on the 20-minute DadAwesome prayer Zoom Calls on Mondays/Fridays: Text "pray" to (651) 370-8618   EPISODE SUMMARY: Most men have never pictured David's mighty men as real flesh and blood warriors who bled, prayed, and screamed to God for covering before they ever swung a sword. In this episode, novelist and Army veteran Cliff Graham shares what twenty years inside the world of the Old Testament taught him about sacrifice, mentorship, and becoming the kind of father whose absence is felt when he's gone. You'll also hear why your kids see the things you thought you did in the dark, and why aimlessness in a dad leaves an entire family unmoored. TAKEAWAYS: Your kids are watching at all times. The thing you think you did in the dark and nobody noticed is the thing they saw. The toughest men in scripture didn't charge in confident in their own abilities. They cried out for God's covering first, and so should you. Sacrificial choices still count when your heart isn't in them. Decide through the paradigm of what's best for your family, however you're feeling, and God honors that choice. Invite your kids into your work and into your worst days. Let them see how you respond when everything falls apart. Male mentorship is disappearing. Find the man who is twenty years ahead of you, who will sit in your pain and call you out on your stuff. BIO Cliff Graham is an author and U.S. Army veteran best known for the Lion of War series, an epic retelling of the lives of David's mighty men that has been translated into seven languages and hit bestseller lists.

Toni Collier joins me for a conversation that started with one sentence she posted online, watched go viral, and could not fully explain: some of us have become more obsessed with healing than becoming holy. We sit with what that exposes. Toni is the founder of Broken Crayons Still Color and the author of Don't Try This Alone, and she is not speaking from a safe distance; she is still in the work, still in counseling after more than a decade, still learning that healing is not a magic wand but the capacity to hold what you needed to heal. Together we trace the difference between healing and holiness, why making your own healing the idol will isolate you from the very people who could help you, and how the therapy words we have baptized (toxic, boundaries, protecting my peace) can quietly cost us the moral compass that is our God. Here is the harder part. Your healing was never meant to end with you. In Luke 15, the younger son moves from "give me" to "make me," and that shift is the whole of sanctification. You are not made well so you can feel better. You are made well so you can be conformed to the image of Christ and love His people well. Transformation does not happen in a day; it happens daily. So the question this conversation puts in front of you is not whether you are getting better. It is whether you are becoming holy, and whether you are willing to let your healing cost you something on behalf of someone else. Guest Bio Toni Collier is the founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, a global ministry that helps women move through brokenness toward healing and hope, and the host of the Still Coloring podcast. She is the author of Don't Try This Alone, Brave Enough to Be Broken, and the children's book Broken Crayons Still Color, and she writes from inside her own story of heartbreak and rebuilding rather than from a safe distance. On this episode, she brings hard-won clarity to the difference between getting healed and becoming holy.

If you hear this objection all the time, Ray has news for you: the real problem is not the prospect, it is that you are focused more on your solution than their actual problem. In this episode Ray teaches exactly what to say when someone tells you "I need to think about it," and unlike a lot of objections that need a custom response, this one has the same answer every single time. Ray grounds this training in his four P method, specifically the pillar of position, and explains the number one rule when you cannot make progress in a conversation: fall back on position. He walks through the exact words to use, starting with putting the prospect at ease instead of getting defensive, then asking the simple question that uncovers what initially made them take a look in the first place. From there Ray shows you how to gently guide the conversation back to their real problem or desire, and why your job is not to defend your product but to help the prospect see clearly that their problem is something worth solving now. Ray closes with a reminder that objections are not something to fear or avoid, they show up in the majority of every sale he has ever made, and the North Star through all of it is always their problem.

Delight in God is not about trying harder, but awakening to what the Spirit is already doing within you. Spiritual disciplines, when fueled by delight rather than duty, become joyful pathways to God's presence. With this in mind, today, Stephanie explores how spiritual routines, while helpful, can drift from vibrant relationship into rote performance if not animated by delight and the Spirit's leading.Ready to awaken your delight in God through "Awaken Delight" the book? Purchase it here: https://a.co/d/0625K1AZ   Based on Stephanie's book, Awaken Delight, together today we willUnderstand the difference between spiritual discipline and delightIdentify the pitfalls of performative spiritualityCultivate habits that foster genuine intimacy with GodEmbrace the Holy Spirit's role in awakening spiritual delightOur FREE gift to you today! An exclusive, in-depth 30-day FREE recovery plan to rekindle your delight in God through simple spiritual disciplines: go to https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelightthepodcast and find the form for Episode 460. Give us your email, and you will receive the full plan in your inbox immediately!Using the French word habit (meaning both “habit” and “clothing”), Stephanie illustrates how habits are like the outfits we choose—some visible, some hidden. Just as we select clothes for comfort or occasion, we "wear" attitudes like praise or cynicism, gratitude or resentment. Good spiritual habits must be intentionally chosen and “worn” daily, but the aim is not outward perfection.Stephanie suggests that delight is not a discipline itself, but the mindset that enlivens every spiritual discipline. Like a long-lasting marriage, delight requires both initial joy and persistent, intentional commitment.Awakening delight is the Spirit's initiative—it is not about finding God as a hidden treasure, but becoming aware of the glory already present. We don't manufacture spiritual joy by effort; the Spirit awakens what He already plants within us. Spiritual disciplines are windows that open us to God's light, not machines that generate it. Ask the Holy Spirit to awaken delight within you as you practice spiritual disciplines.Reflect:Have you ever found that spiritual practices became more about “doing” than connecting with God?Evaluate your spiritual “wardrobe.” What are your default attitudes, and do they help you delight in God?Engage in prayer, scripture, or worship not to mark a checkbox, but to encounter and enjoy God's presence.Examine your spiritual routines: Are they animated by delight or weighed down by duty?Invite the Holy Spirit daily to nurture within you a “Jesus habit”—habits that make space for God's joy.Key Questions:Are your spiritual habits shaped by a desire to appear godly, or are they rooted in genuine pursuit of God?Where do you experience delight vs. maintenance in your faith?MORE ABOUT THE BOOK “AWAKEN DELIGHT” BY STEPHANIE ROUSSELLE"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."―Psalm 37:4What if you've lost your delight in God? Or you've never really experienced it in the first place? What if a season of suffering has snuffed out your joy, leaving you spiritually discouraged and emotionally numb?Delighting in God changes everything: how you experience your faith, relationships, and circumstances―and even how you see yourself.You can experience Psalm 37:4 as your daily reality. In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle connects scriptural and theological truth to your everyday life so you can experience what delighting in God really means. It's not about checking boxes on a spiritual to-do list or mustering a constant state of positive feelings.

The episode opens with a discussion of the Florida Ruminant Nutrition Conference, one of the dairy industry's leading educational events. Dr. Santos reflects on the conference's growth, its practical focus on dairy nutrition, and the diverse international audience of researchers, nutritionists, and industry professionals it attracts each year. The speakers also discuss the critical role industry partnerships play in advancing applied dairy nutrition research and delivering science-based solutions to producers. (00:00 – 03:30)Sebastian Salvatierra shares his educational background and his journey into graduate research at the University of Florida. He describes how his passion for dairy nutrition and applied research led him to investigate the use of DDGS as an alternative protein source for lactating dairy cows under the mentorship of Dr. Santos. (03:31 – 06:27)Why Evaluate DDGS as a Soybean Protein Replacement?The conversation shifts to the scientific rationale behind the project. The researchers hypothesized that replacing soybean-derived protein with protein supplied by DDGS could maintain dairy cow productivity while potentially reducing methane emissions. The discussion explores how the unsaturated fatty acids found in DDGS may act as hydrogen sinks during rumen fermentation, helping reduce methane production without compromising animal performance. (06:28 – 07:56)Study Design and Experimental ApproachSebastian explains the research methodology used to evaluate DDGS inclusion rates in dairy cow diets. The trial included multiple dietary treatments along with extensive measurements of production performance, blood metabolites, rumen fermentation characteristics, nutrient digestibility, and methane emissions. Importantly, the study was designed to reflect practical commercial feeding situations rather than highly controlled laboratory conditions, increasing the relevance of the results to real-world dairy operations. (07:57 – 08:31)Effects of DDGS on Milk Production and PerformanceResults from the study indicated that increasing DDGS inclusion did not negatively affect dry matter intake. While milk production increased modestly as DDGS replaced soybean protein, reductions in milk fat and milk protein concentrations influenced energy-corrected milk production in some treatment groups. The panel discusses possible explanations, including effects on ruminal fiber digestion, fatty acid metabolism, and milk fat synthesis. (08:32 – 09:51)Growing Importance of DDGS in Global Dairy NutritionDr. Santos provides broader industry context, highlighting the growing availability of DDGS in both the United States and Brazil as ethanol production expands. As a major co-product of the ethanol industry, DDGS continues to gain attention as a cost-effective feed ingredient that can contribute valuable protein, energy, and digestible nutrients to dairy rations. (09:52 – 11:02)DDGS and Methane Reduction OpportunitiesA major focus of the research centers on the relationship between dietary fat, rumen fermentation, and methane emissions. Preliminary findings suggest that moderate inclusion levels of DDGS reduced methane production while maintaining overall animal performance. The researchers also discuss ongoing efforts to evaluate digestible energy, metabolizable energy, and overall production efficiency associated with these dietary substitutions. (11:03 – 13:48)Amino Acid Balancing and Practical Diet FormulationThe panel explains how the experimental diets were formulated using rumen-protected amino acids, including lysine and methionine, to maintain amino acid supply despite changing protein sources. The discussion emphasizes the importance of formulating diets that mirror practical commercial conditions so researchers can generate results that nutritionists and producers can confidently apply on farm. (13:49 – 15:54)Understanding Variability in DDGS QualityNot all DDGS sources are created equal. The speakers discuss how nutrient composition, sulfur concentrations, fatty acid profiles, and protein characteristics can vary considerably depending on ethanol plant processes and grain sources. As a result, ingredient evaluation, laboratory analysis, and quality control remain essential when incorporating DDGS into dairy nutrition programs. (15:55 – 18:26)Economic and Sustainability Benefits of Feeding DDGSBeyond nutrition, the researchers discuss the broader sustainability implications of incorporating DDGS into dairy cow diets. By effectively utilizing a major co-product from ethanol production, dairy producers can support circular agriculture systems while potentially reducing feed costs. The panel notes that converting co-products into nutrient-dense foods such as milk represents an efficient use of agricultural resources and contributes to overall feed system sustainability. (18:27 – 22:46)Digestibility and Protein Utilization ResearchAdditional research is underway to better understand how DDGS influences protein digestibility, amino acid availability, and nutrient utilization. Because DDGS undergoes heat processing during manufacturing, protein characteristics can differ from other protein sources, potentially affecting utilization efficiency and helping explain some of the production responses observed in this study. (22:47 – 24:01)Future Research and Industry CollaborationThe episode concludes with Sebastian discussing his future academic goals, including plans to pursue a PhD at the University of Florida. Dr. Santos and Dr. Marinho also highlight the importance of continued collaboration between universities and industry partners to advance dairy nutrition science, improve sustainability, and support the development of practical feeding solutions for dairy producers worldwide.

Listen as Pastor Ben preaches from Jeremiah 29:4-7 and Matthew 28:18-20.

In Plato's Republic, he tells the Allegory of the Cave. In it, we are to imagine an underground world, where people are chained in a cave for their entire lives. They can only see shadows on the wall cast by a distant fire. In the lesson, Plato has Socrates ask his student Glaucon if the people who have been living all their lives chained in the cave would think the shadows are reality. The student replies ‘Yes.'  But then the wise teacher says: “Now imagine what would happen naturally if the prisoners were released from their shackles and cured of their ignorance. Right after they are released and suddenly forced to stand up, turn their necks around, walk, and look towards the light, these activities will cause them pain; because of the bright glare they would be unable to see those things which they previously had seen only as shadows. Now what do you think they would say if one were to tell them that what they saw before was fooling them, but that now, when they are closer to what really exists and when they face that which more truly exists, they see more clearly, in a straightforward manner? What if that person pointed to the objects as they passed and asked the former prisoners to tell him what they were? Don't you think they would be baffled and think that the shadows they formerly saw were truer than the objects that are now being pointed out to them?” The allegory goes on to discuss more deeply the path to discovering wisdom and virtue but I think it is a powerful picture of life as a Christian.  The Christian, once they have been given spiritual eyes to see, can no longer pretend that the shadow world of living for sin and pleasure and riches is actually life. Conversion is a radical discovery that what you thought was life was only the shadows. True life is found only when you are living in the reality of Christ and the heavenly world of gospel grace. In our study of the Wisdom Psalms, this week we are going to continue in Psalm 119:33-40. The sermon is entitled “Give Me Life!” Twice in this passage, the psalmist says “Give me life.” It is clear in the Bible that what often purports to be life is actually death and what actually seems like death to many is life.  How many people live their whole lives unaware that they no nothing of real life? How tempting is it for us to live in the old familiar shadows of a dark world that only casts reflections of the real life of God's Word. Wisdom is a God-given determination to live in the Real World… anything less is death.  Come this Sunday, as we listen to the Psalmist prayer asking to be lead forward into all that is Life. Let's learn together how to no longer live as we once did in the darkness of a world of sin and death. Let's seek real Life together in Christ. See you Sunday! Invite a friend.

The Invite (2026) is the third Olivia Wilde movie we have covered after Booksmart (2019) and Don't Worry Darling (2022). With The Invite, she directs a screenplay by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones. She also stars, along with Seth Rogen, Penelope Cruz, and Edward Norton. Set in a huge San Francisco apartment, married couple Rogen & Wilde invite over their raucous upstairs neighbors, Cruz & Norton, for dinner. This A24 film got rave reviews and has some big laughs and surprises! Find out all about in this sex comedy hawt take!

The Invite, Olivia Wilde's comedy for A24, plays out almost entirely inside one San Francisco apartment, where a couple played by Wilde and Seth Rogen host an evening that goes sideways with visitors played by Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton. Adam Newport-Berra, ASC photographed it on 35mm, in story order, on a Los Angeles soundstage with a single day of exteriors in San Francisco. The brief he set himself was that one enclosed space should feel, in his words, like a landscape, and never like a set.The first plan was to light it practically, in the spirit of Husbands and Wives, and let the actors move in and out of shadow. A test with the cast said otherwise. Nobody liked the dailies, and Newport-Berra got some phone calls afterward. What replaced it was hard ceilings, because an open set lit from above reads as a set, with the light built into the ceilings. Key grip Adam Kolegas fabricated low-profile softboxes, tube fixtures wrapped in muslin and skirted, light enough to hang from putty knives slid into the stretch-canvas ceiling and quick enough to pop off in ten minutes when the camera needed to tilt up. Gaffer Len Levine ran them by remote. Doorway moldings that dropped a foot below the ceiling hid the boxes behind them, and six to eight more lights sat on the floor for nearly every setup. With production designer Jade Healy and costume designer Arianne Phillips, the walls, the wood, and the hosts' clothes were kept dark so the faces would carry the light; the visitors' wardrobe was made to stand apart from the room. Every shot in the film, he says, is very lit.There was no shot list on set. Newport-Berra wrote one for the whole film, in a Google Doc, and says he never looked at it once. Prep was a wall of two hundred reference frames, and each morning he walked the set before anyone else arrived, photographing angles on his iPhone with his crew standing in for the cast. Wilde, who stepped into the role of Angela after an actor dropped out, ran each scene with the cast, then handed it to a stand-in and watched from outside while she and Newport-Berra picked frames. The camera stayed on the dolly and mostly locked off; there is no handheld in the film. The tools were lens, height, and eyeline. Norton is held slightly low on a 35mm, almost heroic. Cruz moves on Steadicam on a longer lens. Rogen and Wilde are pinned flat against a wall with too much headroom. For the couple's first argument the rule was cat and mouse: never on the same level, never in the same frame, together only in mirrors and window glass, until the scene lands on a head-on two-shot. The last shot of the film, a move through the building's shaftway that Healy had designed the set around, went at four in the morning on the final night on stage.CREDITSAdam Newport-Berra, ASCInstagram · Website · IMDbJared Levy, hostInstagram · Website · IMDbDavid Kruta, producerInstagram · Website · IMDbTopher Hammond, producerInstagramMUSICOriginal music by One Wave.THE SALONEpisode page and full gallery: https://cinematographysalon.com/podcast/adam-newport-berra-asc-the-inviteNewsletter and events: cinematographysalon.comInstagram: @cinematographysalonPRESENTING SPONSORThis episode is made possible by Fujifilm — home of GFX ETERNA 55, the large format, IMAX®-Certified digital camera, and FUJINON cinema lenses. https://fujifilm-x.comSUPPORT THE SALONThe podcast, the writing, and both Resources tools are free.

Jacob Coyne joins me this week with the credibility of someone who has lived on both sides of that gap. He built a platform of more than a million followers and a suicide prevention movement that has reached a generation, and then received a warning that reordered his life: you cannot build a house on a rocket ship. We talk about the commercialization of Christianity and the strange market for spiritual performance, about how discernment is formed in slow and hidden places rather than loud ones, and about the sobering warning Jesus gives in Matthew 7—that a person can do impressive things in His name and still hear, "I never knew you." This is not a conversation about someone else's hypocrisy. It is about yours and mine. Guest Bio Jacob Coyne is a preacher, content creator, and the founder of Stay Here, a faith-based suicide prevention movement that has trained and equipped a generation, reaching people through a social media following of more than 1.4 million. He is the author of the new book The Secret Life of Christians: How to Live Authentically, Especially When No One Is Watching, which grew out of his own reckoning with platform, performance, and the cost of building a name. He lives with his wife, Mariah, and their daughters in East Tennessee, where much of this conversation about the hidden life was hard-won. Show Partner SafeSleeve designs a phone case that blocks up to 99% of harmful EMF radiation—so I'm not carrying that kind of exposure next to my body all day. It's sleek, durable, and most importantly, lab-tested by third parties. The results aren't hidden—they're published right on their site. And that matters because many so-called EMF blockers on the market either don't work or can't prove they do. We protect our hearts and minds—why wouldn't we protect our bodies too?

When teachers and family misread your child's behavior, parents may question their instincts when others don't see the struggle. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge helps parents understand emotional dysregulation through Regulation First Parenting™ and calm the brain first.When your child seems fine at school but falls apart at home, it's easy to wonder, Am I doing something wrong? You're not alone. When others don't see what you see, understanding your child's behavior can become even harder.Let's explore why dysregulated kids may hold it together at school and release their stress at home. You'll learn how to trust your instincts and better understand what your child's behavior is communicating.Why does my child melt down after school but seem fine for teachers?A child can be struggling and still look completely fine to everyone else. Many dysregulated kids spend their school day managing noise, friendships, transitions, directions, anxiety, big emotions, and the effort of sitting still.Their stress cup may be filling all day, even when nobody notices. Then, when they reach the safety of home, their nervous system finally runs out of capacity.Remember:Home isn't necessarily the problem. It may be where your child finally feels safe enough to let go.Meltdowns, shutdowns, and freakouts can signal an overwhelmed nervous system.Behavior is communication.Real-life example: Amy's son was repeatedly described as having a “great day” at school, only to completely fall apart in the car. She began wondering if she was too soft or a bad parent. The reality? He had been holding it together all day.Why do teachers and family members think my child is fine?Teachers, grandparents, and family members may each see only one piece of the puzzle. A teacher may see your child's best effort at school, while you see what happens when their nervous system has no capacity left.Instead of trying to convince others that your child is struggling, become a nervous system educator.Explain what happens after your child runs out of capacity.Invite curiosity instead of defensiveness.Remember that teachers are with your child all day and often do incredible things that naturally support regulation.

Matt Covington, Senior Vice President of Product at BlackCloak, says the feature exists because CISOs kept asking the same question. Can you help us manage this influx of deepfake media, whether it arrives by email, video, or voicemail. The requests that follow are familiar. Change the billing information on a vendor. Wire me $5,000 to bail me out of jail. Rather than sitting in line with every communication to judge whether a piece of video or audio is fake, BlackCloak gives people a way to establish the authenticity of the message and the sender. Matt Covington walks through it on camera. A suspicious guest joins a Zoom call under a familiar name, camera off. He opens the app, creates a request, selects the medium, adds context, and submits. Biometrics confirm the device owner. The response comes back with identity confirmed and location attached, and the app keeps an audit trail. The news this week is who can be in the circle. A BlackCloak member can invite as many people as they want to connect as part of their trusted network. Personal lawyer, private banker, childcare, dog walker. Matt Covington describes a message arriving on vacation, claiming to be the dog walker and asking for $5,000 for an emergency vet bill, and confirms that scenario is a real thing that has happened. Tracey Moon, Chief Marketing Officer at BlackCloak, joins for the demo. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.

Follow up does not annoy prospects. Bad follow up does. In this episode Ray digs into why "just checking in" is the laziest, most ineffective message you can send, and gives you the two word mindset shift that fixes it for good: be busy. Ray explains that if you are not actually busy living a full life, building your business, spending time with your kids, growing in your faith, then it is time to get busy, because your schedule is dictating the speed of your success. Ray shares his tried and true script for reconnecting with someone you have not talked to in a long time, along with his three step follow up for cold market prospects who have gone quiet, a method he has personally taught for over a decade that gets over half of ghosters to respond. He also gives you his favorite line for warm market, friends and family who leave you on read, and explains exactly why it works almost every time. Most importantly, Ray reminds you that a response is not the goal. Moving someone closer to solving their problem is the goal, and that starts with knowing what that problem actually is better than you know your own product.

The conversation begins with introductions from experts specializing in dairy genetics, reproductive management, transition cow health, and calf monitoring technologies, providing insight into how precision dairy tools are being applied across the dairy industry. 0:00-6:21 The panel then explores the evolution of computer vision and artificial intelligence, discussing how modern dairy technologies are moving beyond simple data collection to deliver actionable insights that help producers solve real-world challenges. They also examine technology adoption trends, workforce development, and the barriers farms continue to face, including connectivity and technical support. 9:32-24:08 A major focus of the discussion is precision health monitoring for transition cows and calves. The experts explain why the transition period remains one of the most critical opportunities for intervention and how emerging technologies can help identify animals needing attention while addressing the challenges of managing "yellow cows" that fall between healthy and sick. 24:08-36:11 Looking toward the future, the panel explores digital twin technology, genetic considerations, calf health monitoring, audio sensing, and innovative approaches such as Wi-Fi-based cattle monitoring systems. The discussion highlights how these emerging technologies may further advance precision dairy management in the coming years. 36:11-45:55 The episode concludes with a discussion on dairy welfare monitoring, AI model development, and reinforcement learning, emphasizing the importance of transforming large amounts of farm data into meaningful information that supports animal wellbeing and management decisions. 46:41-52:10 Please subscribe and share with your industry friends.

"Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become." - James Clear Summary Is your family running on good routines—or on lost shoes, late-night permission slips, and someone yelling, "Where is your backpack?" If summer loosened every habit in your house, this episode is your invitation to hit the family reset button. We're talking honestly about the routines that shape family culture, whether we choose them or simply fall into them. Bedtimes, chores, prayer, screens, school mornings, and family meals don't just organize the day; over time, they help determine who we become. We'll show you how to assess three essential areas of family life: the spiritual life of your home, your marriage, and the formation of your children. Then we'll get practical about turning vague hopes like "we should pray more" or "the kids need to help" into habits your real family can actually follow. Using four principles from *Atomic Habits*, we'll explore how to make good routines obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying. Expect chore charts, backpack stations, bedtime prayer, brownies after the Rosary, and our hard-earned rule for getting a large family out the door without losing everyone's sanctification. This isn't about creating an Instagram-perfect household. It's about reducing chaos, restoring connection, and building a home where everyone knows they belong. Key Takeaways A fall family reset has four parts: Assess: Honestly examine your family culture. Focus: Choose the pain point that needs the most attention. Create a habit: Build a practical system around the change. Find accountability: Invite your spouse to support you. You do not need to overhaul your entire family this fall. Choose one meaningful change that will help you move from reacting moment by moment to living on purpose.   Couple Discussion Questions What are our biggest pain points right now that we need to change?  What is our best habit that we can build on?  Resources Speaking Request page Events page www.catholiccouplesgetaway.com

This year's summer movie season proved that the “Toy Story” franchise still has some juice, that “The Odyssey” can spark endless debates, and that “The Invite” might be the sleeper film of the year. But according to Wesley Morris, we're still in a summer movie drought. He can't help himself! His nostalgia for the movies of summers past is as strong as it was last year. So, once again, Wesley invites Sam Anderson, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, to go back in time. This week, they travel to 1986, where the multiplex marquee reads: “Ruthless People” and “Ferris Bueller's Day Off.” Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
