There's a reason your hunger fades when life gets busy and your soul gets loud: boredom becomes a shortcut to numbing, entitlement masquerades as discernment, and self-pity convinces you that endurance is optional. This week on Win Today, Bethel Music's Kristene DiMarco joins me to confront the quiet habits that starve spiritual hunger and to show us how to train the soul when worship feels flat, prayer drags, and offense stands in the doorway of growth. We talk about the discipline of boredom, the anatomy of hunger, why entitlement and self-pity atrophy endurance, and how to lay down your "right" to be offended by everything in life so true formation can continue. If you feel dulled by distraction, easily offended, or tired of mistaking relief for transformation, this conversation will call you back to the long road of love. Guest Bio Kristene DiMarco is a songwriter and worship leader with Bethel Music, known for penning and recording modern hymns and congregational anthems and for leading worship at churches and conferences around the world. Her albums and collaborations with Bethel Music and Jesus Culture have introduced a wide range of songs to the global church, and she continues to write and lead with a focus on honest lyrics, theological clarity, and resilient faith.

What if the fastest way to a great year had nothing to do with production numbers in January? In this episode, I continue a two-part conversation by sharing the last five of ten strategies to help advisors avoid feeling behind before the year even gets started. Based on three decades of coaching experience, I explain why January should be your highest activity month and how focusing on execution over outcomes builds confidence, clarity, and momentum. This is about taking massive, intentional action early so the rest of the year feels more controlled and more predictable.

The Invite: Come and See — A Journey Through the Gospel of JohnSeason Three of Divine Table Talk begins with an invitation. An invitation to slow down, open the Word, and encounter Jesus in a fresh way through the Gospel of John. In our first episode, The Invite, Jamie and Jane step into the opening words of John and ask the same question Jesus asked His first followers: What are you seeking? This season isn't about rushing through Scripture—it's about pulling up a chair, coming and seeing who Jesus truly is, and letting His presence shape every part of your life. You belong at the table.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

You can admire spiritual maturity from a distance, or you can take your formation journey seriously. Many of us prefer the former. We outsource growth to personalities, call delayed obedience "wisdom," and bargain with God when surrender would cost too much. This week on Win Today, Dr. Eric Mason joins me to confront the quiet drift that hollows discipleship: the consumer posture that fuels bad teaching, the spiritual immaturity that bargains with God, and the confusion that happens when we make our assignment our purpose. If your faith has been built around sermons more than Scripture, preferences more than practices, or outcomes more than obedience, this conversation is your invitation to grow up on purpose, with the Spirit, for the long road of holiness. Guest Bio Dr. Eric Mason is the founder and lead pastor of Epiphany Fellowship in Philadelphia and the founder/president of Thriving, an urban ministry training leaders for city contexts. A pastor-theologian for nearly three decades, he has preached and trained nationally and internationally and authored several books. He holds a B.S. in Psychology (Bowie State), a Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary—where he was mentored by Dr. Tony Evans at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship—and a D.Min. from Gordon-Conwell. Eric and his wife, Yvette, live in Philadelphia with their four children: Immanuel, Nehemiah, Ephraim, and Amalyah.

“Send Coach John a message”I remember this thought that I saw from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) that my friend @DrJeffLpip shared many times. “Hope and Fear cannot occupy the same space. Invite one to stay.” - Maya Angelou was the one who put that powerful thought out there many years ago. I needed this reminder, again, and I know I need to simply make the choice that for me, Hope has the space for sure! There are too many things out there connected to fear and I don't want to choose that any longer.

Cynthia Campbell was a successful attorney with a busy Monday ahead of her. But that morning never happened.On July 27, 1998, police responded to strange activity outside Cynthia's Pensacola home. After officers left, Cynthia accepted a coffee invitation from her neighbor, Norman Grim. She was never seen alive again.Hours later, Cynthia was reported missing. Evidence began to surface quickly, including items linked back to her neighbor and sightings that raised immediate concern. Within days, Norman Grim was arrested, and the full scope of what happened started to come into focus.Years later, after appeals were exhausted, Florida carried out Norman Grim's execution.What began as a routine morning and a simple act of trust ended in one of the state's most disturbing murder cases.#TrueCrimeRecaps #TrueCrime #NormanGrim #CynthiaCampbell #CrimeTimeline #Justice #TrueCrimeCommunity

Send us a textThis is the first episode of 2026 — and it sets the tone for everything that comes next.In this solo episode of Kyle Talks, Kyle lays out a simple but ambitious goal for the year ahead: bring back the art of conversation.Not perfect conversations. Not easy conversations. Real conversations.Whether your goal this year is personal growth, rebuilding confidence, learning discipline, or simply connecting better with people around you, this episode is an invitation to step forward — together.In this episode, Kyle reflects on:• Why goals mean nothing without action • How having better conversations is a form of discipline • Why understanding does not require agreement • The role of emotion in disagreement — and how to handle it • When it's healthy to walk away from a conversation • Why casual conversations matter just as much as serious ones • How self-control changes the tone of dialogue • What it means to listen in a culture that rewards shouting • Why Kyle Talks exists — and where it's headed in 2026This episode isn't about being right. It's about being present, curious, and human.Kyle challenges listeners to take responsibility for the conversations they're part of — at home, online, at work, and in the world — and reminds us that changing culture doesn't start with institutions. It starts with people choosing to talk.A question for listeners:What's one conversation you've been avoiding — and what would it look like to approach it with honesty and self-control?The Mission for 2026Kyle Talks is about talking to people again. Agreeing. Disagreeing. Laughing. Listening. Building connection without dehumanization.This year is about showing up imperfectly and continuing anyway.If this episode resonated with you, consider leaving a review or sharing it with someone you'd like to have a better conversation with.

Every January, millions of people set fresh goals: eat healthier, exercise more, or get their finances in better shape. These are good and worthy aims. Yet studies consistently show that most resolutions fade within a few weeks.So if this is the year you want to steward money more wisely—get out of debt, save consistently, or live with greater margin—what actually helps habits last beyond January?The answer isn't more motivation. It's a better foundation.Why Good Intentions Aren't EnoughResolutions often fail for predictable reasons. We set goals that are vague or unrealistic. We don't connect them to a meaningful “why.” Or we jump in without a system to support change. When life gets busy or discouraging—as it always does—old habits quickly take over.If you've ever tried to stick to a spending plan, curb impulse purchases, or make steady progress on debt, you know those difficult moments will come. Lasting change doesn't happen by hoping harder. It happens when old patterns are replaced with new, intentional habits.The Power of a PlanOne of the most common reasons financial resolutions fail is simple: we try to change without a plan. But you can't hope your way into better money habits.A spending plan turns good intentions into clear, practical choices. It gives your money direction and helps automate progress so your goals become part of everyday life—not just something you think about when motivation is high.More than that, a plan allows you to steward what God has entrusted to you with purpose and clarity, rather than relying on willpower alone.Accountability Makes Progress StickWe were never meant to pursue growth in isolation. Accountability strengthens resolve and keeps discouragement from becoming defeat.Invite a trusted friend to check in with you regularly. Make it a family goal to reduce spending or save consistently. Celebrate wins together—and when you fall short, don't quit. Reset and keep going.Stewardship is a journey, not a single moment of success.Willpower Isn't Enough—You Need God's StrengthEven with a solid plan, many people still struggle to keep their resolutions. Often, it's because they're trying to do it all in their own strength.Lasting change requires spiritual power, not just discipline. Scripture reminds us of this truth:“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” — Hebrews 12:11New habits often feel uncomfortable at first. A budget can feel restrictive. Cutting back can feel frustrating. Saying no to impulse purchases can feel like a sacrifice. But God promises that discipline rooted in faith produces something beautiful over time—peace, stability, and a life aligned with His wisdom.That's why prayer matters. Ask God to reshape your desires, guide your decisions, and strengthen you when the novelty wears off. If you're married, pray together, inviting the Lord to give you unity as you pursue shared financial goals.Build S.M.A.R.T. Financial GoalsOnce your plans are grounded in prayer, structure matters. One of the most effective ways to build that structure is by setting S.M.A.R.T. financial goals—goals that are:SpecificDon't say, “I want to save more.” Say, “I will save $100 each month.” Clear goals are easier to follow.MeasurableTracking progress keeps you motivated. Seeing balances change and debt shrink builds momentum.AchievableDon't expect to undo years of financial strain in a few weeks. Small wins compound over time—and they prevent discouragement.RealisticDream boldly, but plan honestly. Your goals should reflect your actual income and expenses—not depend on debt to fill the gaps.TimelyEvery goal needs a timeframe. Whether you're saving, paying down debt, or building margin, set milestones and review your plan regularly to adjust and keep moving forward.A Better Measure of SuccessAs you set financial goals for the new year, remember that every number tells a story—about God's provision, your heart's priorities, and the opportunities He gives you to bless others.Success isn't measured by how much you accumulate, but by how clearly your finances point to Jesus as your ultimate treasure.If you'd like help building habits that last, the FaithFi app is designed to help you create a plan, track progress, and stay encouraged along the way.

His wages are now being garnished, and he's worried about losing his home and damaging his credit. His wife ran up the debt without his knowledge. Is there any advice I can give him? Would filing for bankruptcy stop the wage garnishment, or is it too late since the case is already in court?I set up a TreasuryDirect account, but can't figure out how to convert my paper I Bonds to electronic form. The website isn't clear about how to add them. What steps do I need to take to convert them?My wife and I just turned 64, and both work at the same Christian school.

We're told to trust God when life falls apart and to cling to hope when we feel abandoned. To pray louder when heaven feels silent. But what if the silence isn't a punishment…but a pathway straight to His presence? What if the wall you've hit isn't the end, but the beginning of a deeper formation? This week on Win Today, I'm re-airing a raw and timely conversation with Dr. Lee Warren—one that took an unexpected turn moments before we hit record. What followed was one of the most personal and Spirit-led conversations I've ever had about wilderness seasons, grief, intrusive thoughts, and what to do when you feel like God has gone quiet. I opened up about the last two years of my life. And yet, what I've discovered in the silence is this: God's silence is not His absence. And when everything else shakes, His Word still stands. If you've ever felt stuck between the pain of what happened and the fear that nothing will change…if you've ever cried out for clarity and heard nothing in return…this episode is for you.

If you're showing up consistently in your business but still not seeing the traction you deserve, this episode is for you. Today, Lori walks you through two critical stages of your client journey: Engage and Invite  -  the bridge between curiosity and commitment. You'll discover why engagement isn't about likes or views, but about readiness, connection, and trust. Lori shares how to shift from simply creating content to actually guiding your audience toward a next step  -  without feeling pushy or "salesy." She also breaks down the four business stages  -  Figure It Out, Work It Out, Rock It Out, and Boss It Out  -  and how engagement looks different at each level. You'll learn why clarity beats persuasion, and how a clear invitation can turn effort into real momentum. Lessons Learned Engagement is a filter, not a goal. Clarity beats persuasion every time. Each business stage engages differently. Invitation is leadership, not selling. Momentum requires direction - trust needs somewhere to go.   Book your Profitable Path Blueprint Call at TalkWithLori.com

A deadly hit-and-run shatters a quiet Connecticut town— and Hannah can't shake the chilling feeling that she knows who's behind the wheel. It might be her brother, Rob. It might be Zach—Rob's best friend and the first boy who's ever really seen her. And the truth might destroy her life. As the police close in, Hannah falls deeper in love with Zach and spirals into a web of lies to protect the people she loves. However, when her friends turn cold, and a buried family secret comes to light, she realizes the truth is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Now two versions of the accident are colliding—and only one can be true. Her loyalty is split. Her heart is at war with her conscience. A coming-of-age novel with engaging lessons about life's choices and their consequences. How quickly poor actions can tear everything apart. What happens when you take the path of following your heart impulsively in the moment instead of your conscience. THE ACCIDENT (Woodhall Press: October 14, 2025) is not only a YA thriller, but a gripping psychological drama about love, guilt, and the razor-thin line between protecting others and betraying yourself.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Old Testament examples: Ezekiel 3:17-19 Esther 4:1-3 Esther  4:12-14 New Testament examples: Isaiah 61:1-3 (NLT) (cf Luke 4) Matthew 28:18-20 Romans 10:13-15 Application: Posture – Ask God for His heart for the lost, and feel a sense of righteous urgency  for salvations. Holman Commentary: “God's charge to Ezekiel and Hosea is also a charge to every Christian. Christ warned His followers to “watch” for His return and to keep their lamps burning and trimmed. Servants of the Lord, who are found watching, will be given special favor for being ready. Jesus, the faithful watchmen of His sheep, has instructed us to follow Him. In so doing, believers keep themselves focused on the Lord, constantly growing in their relationship with Him.” Prayer – Keep a prayer calendar and intercede like Mordecai for your city. Isaiah 62:6-7a Purpose – Reach out to those in your sphere of influence. Invite them to church, and serve them as Jesus would. “Do the unbelievers in my life know that I am a Christian? Do they know how Jesus has affected my life?”

This Christmas Eve service is a chance to pause and remember the true meaning of Christmas. We gather to celebrate Emmanuel, God with us, and the good news that Jesus has come. If you’re looking for a Christmas Eve church service online, we’re so glad you’re here. Invite your family, light a candle at home, and worship with us as we reflect on the story of Christ’s birth and the hope it brings to the world.

Christmas morning can easily become about exhaustion, expectations, and excitement—but Matthew 2:10–11 reminds us that true joy is found in worshiping Jesus first. By intentionally centering Christmas morning on Christ, families can experience deeper peace, joy, and meaning that lasts far beyond the presents under the tree. Highlights The Magi modeled Christmas worship by rejoicing, bowing, and offering their treasures to Jesus. Holiday exhaustion can distract us, but worship refocuses our hearts on what matters most. Keeping Christ central requires intentional planning, just like other Christmas traditions. Simple practices—reading Luke 2, singing hymns, or praying together—anchor the day in truth. Family traditions can joyfully point children to Jesus without removing the magic of Christmas. Reprioritizing schedules may feel uncomfortable, but it reflects the sacrificial heart of the Gospel. Honoring Jesus on Christmas morning creates opportunities to witness to others through love and example.

Full Transcript Below: Emphasizing Christ on Christmas Morning By: Peyton Garland Bible Reading: “When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” Matthew 2:10-11 (NIV) If we’re honest, most of us will admit that once Christmas morning arrives, we are utterly exhausted. Whether we are parents who stayed up all night putting together toys with hundreds of tiny pieces, we’ve spent the last week scrambling for last-minute gifts, or we are entertaining guests over the holiday, we have pushed our bodies to the limit. They quickly tell on us, eyes heavy, mind screaming for coffee, slippers dragging the floor. Amid this busy season, how can we ensure that Christ remains the center of Christmas morning, bringing us peace, joy, and hopeful energy far superior to our dark roast brew? How can we approach Christmastime so we enjoy all the festive traditions yet keep the manger the main thing? Thankfully, the answer isn’t a deep secret, and it’s what most of us do well, almost too well, this time of year. Planning. Conscientious, motivated planning. No doubt, we go to great detail to collaborate with friends concerning the annual tacky Christmas sweater party. We ensure that we pack and donate at least one Operation Christmas Child box per family member. We attend our little niece’s Nutcracker performance, a bouquet of festive roses in hand. We manage to balance all of the holiday’s hustle and bustle because we hold ourselves accountable to what we value most. Value Christ above all else this Christmas morning by grabbing a calendar and listing out exactly how your family will engage in holiday celebrations centered on Jesus. Invite your family to sit down with you and toss around ideas for which celebratory traditions sound best for both the children and adults. A few creative ideas include: Gathering at the dining room table to read Luke 2 before opening presents or eating Christmas breakfast/brunch. Playing Christmas hymns in the background as everyone eats breakfast. Adding a “Happy Birthday, Jesus” cake to the breakfast menu, letting everyone sing Happy Birthday to the greatest Birthday Boy in history. (I know a family who does this each Christmas, and their four children love it!) Before opening gifts, have everyone take turns sharing why Jesus remains the greatest gift in their heart and life. Placing a nativity scene at the foot of the Christmas tree before eating breakfast or opening gifts. (Placing a nativity scene at the foot of the Christmas tree is an old Catholic tradition that I learned from my husband’s family, and though my husband, son, and I are non-denominational, it is a dear tradition we honor each year.) If Santa visits your children, have Santa write a note to them, celebrating the ways they have grown in character that year while also sharing that he, too, knows that Christ is most important on Christmas Day. (Remember, little hearts that lean into magic will lean into miracles, so don’t cut the miracles short!) I pray these ideas spark creativity as you pray about and consider the Holy Spirit’s leading in how to best honor and praise Jesus on Christmas morning. But I also pray that you recognize that honoring Jesus on Christmas morning might mean you must reprioritize other things. Perhaps extended family members who typically join you for a casual Christmas breakfast at 9 can come over for a Christmas brunch at 11 (so your family has a quiet time of worship beforehand). However, if they are interested in joining your “Happy Birthday, Jesus” celebration, they can come over whenever is best for your family. Bonus: this is a great opportunity to love on your family members who aren’t believers! If your kiddos are accustomed to starting Christmas morning by seeing what Santa brought, I encourage you not to take away from that joy, but to reposition it. Explain to them ahead of time that since Christmas is about Jesus, we will celebrate Him first, then see what Santa brought. Having this conversation in advance allows little hearts to anticipate a schedule change. This gives them room to ask questions to better understand the purpose behind this new tradition. These new shifts might be uncomfortable or make little ones a bit fussy at first, but remember, the Gospel had uncomfortable beginnings, as a teenage girl gave birth among cattle and the Savior of the world was placed in a trough of prickly hay. May we truly adore Him as we sacrifice our schedules to put Him first this Christmas. Intersecting Faith & Life: Even after Christmas has passed, sit down with your family to discuss ways to continue keeping Christ the center of your days. Consider a daily family devotional or prayer time. Allow the children to include their own ideas.

If you've been listening to this festive-season mini-series, you'll know that in Episode 1 Ceri laid the foundations. The why. The what. The who. The purpose of staging your own event. And in Episode 2 we stepped into the how. The planning. The invitations. The rehearsal. The feedback. The choreography of the night itself. Today, we're entering the part artists often ignore. The after. Because what happens after your event is often far more important than the event itself. The room empties. The fairy lights cool. The paint smell settles. The cushions slump. The adrenaline fades. And there you are, standing in your studio, wondering what it all meant. Did it work? Did it matter? Was it worth it? What comes next? This is the moment artists often mis-handle. They either spring into frantic action or retreat into silence. But the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Slow, steady, intentional follow up. Gentle momentum. Small moves done consistently. -- Most artists are guessing their way through and staying stuck far longer than they need to. Inside Ceri Hand´s Coaching Membership, you get straight answers and real support through live sessions, portfolio reviews, virtual studio visits, monthly art world experts, and community to help you cut through fast. Ceri covers everything. Right now, you can join or gift a full year for £99 - our only discount of the year, available until the first of January. Please join here - http://cerihand.com/membership/ KEY TAKEAWAYS The after is where 90% of the opportunity sits. The event is only the beginning. The reflection and follow up is the bridge to your future. Hosting your own event is not about grandeur, it's not about numbers. Is not about applause. It's about agency, clarity, community, practice, becoming the artist who leads rather than waits. Plan with intention. Invite with care, host with presence. Follow up with warmth, reflect with honesty, and build with steadiness, and in time, your work will move outward into the world with a stronger pulse. Use your event as a catalyst not a climax. BEST MOMENTS “The first hour after everyone leaves is emotional. Everything feels tender. Your self-worth is loud, your exhaustion is louder.” “She tracks which price points people reached for, she jots down which pieces felt alive in the space and which pieces she'd not show next time.” “This is the moment that artists begin to think like both makers and professionals, where they have agency, where they take control of their own creative careers.” HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci.

Au Cameroun, l'archevêque de Douala saisit l'occasion de la fête de Noël pour appeler le pouvoir à libérer les centaines de personnes arrêtées après la présidentielle du 12 octobre. Et, pour joindre le geste à la parole, Monseigneur Samuel Kleda est allé, mercredi 24 décembre, célébrer une première messe de Noël à la prison de New Bell, à Douala. La mort en détention de l'opposant Anicet Ekane, la réélection de Paul Biya pour un huitième mandat… L'archevêque catholique de Douala s'exprime sans détours sur tous les récents événements au micro de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Quel est votre message en ce jour de Noël ? Monseigneur Samuel Kleda : Le message est très simple parce que nous célébrons la fête de Noël, la naissance du Fils de Dieu parmi les hommes. Dieu nous aime et il a choisi de nous envoyer son Fils qui s'est fait l'un d'entre nous. Ça veut dire que Dieu nous rencontre par son Fils, et le Fils de Dieu vient nous donner la paix et surtout dans ce monde. En ce moment, beaucoup de pays, beaucoup de peuples sont en crise. Et alors maintenant, nous avons à redécouvrir que tous, nous pouvons nous accepter les uns les autres et vivre ensemble en paix.  Alors vous appelez à la paix, mais le sang a coulé au Cameroun lors des violents affrontements entre forces de l'ordre et manifestants après la présidentielle du 12 octobre. Quelle est votre réaction ?  Ma réaction, c'est d'abord de condamner cela. Lorsque nous organisons des élections, c'est pour mieux construire notre pays. Lorsque cela se transforme en une crise, je condamne totalement cela. Et aussi, on a l'impression que chaque fois qu'il y a une élection présidentielle au Cameroun, il y a toujours la violence. Maintenant, j'invite tous les Camerounais à profiter de la fête de Noël pour créer vraiment un monde de paix, une société où nous pouvons vivre en paix les uns avec les autres.  À l'issue de la répression des manifestations, il y a eu de nombreux morts, mais aussi beaucoup d'arrestations. Selon les autorités, 963 personnes sont toujours en prison. Que souhaitez-vous à leur sujet ?  Tout simplement que ces gens-là soient libérés pour amener les gens à une sorte de paix. Parce que les gens sont inquiets. Mais tant de personnes arrêtées, ce n'est pas normal. Étant donné que le Christ est né pour tous les hommes, pour chaque homme. Voilà pourquoi hier, je suis allé célébrer la messe avec les prisonniers, leur dire que le Christ est né pour eux aussi, que le Christ vient les rencontrer dans leurs conditions de vie.  Dans quelle prison de Douala êtes-vous allé hier ?  La plus grande prison, New Bell, à Douala.  Où vous avez célébré la messe avec les prisonniers ? Oui, j'ai vraiment prié avec eux pour leur apporter ce message d'espérance. Parce que c'est à Douala qu'il y a eu le plus d'arrestations, qu'il y a eu aussi beaucoup plus de morts. À Douala, et j'avais même fait une déclaration à ce sujet, invitant déjà les gens au calme, et ce calme demande que tous ceux qui sont arrêtés, qu'ils soient libérés. Alors parmi les personnes arrêtées après la présidentielle du 12 octobre, il y avait l'opposant Anicet Ekane. Le 1er décembre, il est mort dans sa cellule de Yaoundé. Comment avez-vous réagi quand vous avez appris la nouvelle ?  Moi, j'ai prié. Vraiment, j'ai beaucoup prié pour lui. Mais il n'est pas le seul, ses compagnons sont même encore en prison. Mais quelqu'un comme Ekane, mais il est malade. On le sait, mais on devrait mettre en place un système de traitement pour ne pas qu'il meure en prison. Mais je crois que lui, il était en danger de mort, puisqu'il vivait avec un appareil pour la respiration. On devait faire attention en l'interpellant, mais malheureusement ça n'a pas été fait. Voilà le résultat. Monseigneur Samuel Kléda, dans votre message de Noël de l'an dernier, vous aviez dit qu'une nouvelle candidature de Paul Biya n'était pas réaliste et que vous souhaitiez pour votre pays une transition pacifique. Alors, au lendemain de la réélection officielle de Paul Biya pour un huitième mandat, quel est votre sentiment ?  Vraiment, je dirais, je suis triste. Je suis triste parce que, selon moi, quand on est une autorité, ça veut dire qu'on doit être capable de gouverner. Mais nous le savons, sur le plan humain, une personne âgée de 92 ans ne peut plus travailler nuit et jour pour gouverner. Mais ça, ça ne dépend pas de nous, c'est notre condition humaine. Justement, voilà pourquoi je dis qu'on devait être réaliste, dire que non, ce n'est pas ça. Essayons de choisir une autre personne qui puisse gouverner le pays. Mais malheureusement, nous sommes là à ce niveau. À lire aussiUne nouvelle candidature du président Biya en 2025 «n'est pas réaliste» selon l'archevêque de Douala

Hey family, this Sunday is our final service of 2025. Pastor Chris will share a powerful and deeply personal message from 2 Corinthians 5:1–5—a passage that speaks to loss, longing, and the hope of something more. In a world that feels increasingly fragile, this message reminds us that life is temporary, but God’s promises are not. Whether you’re full of faith, full of questions, or somewhere in between, this is a Sunday you won’t want to miss. We will also celebrate a baptism! A powerful picture of grace, new life, and the hope that anchors us as we step into a new year together. Invite a friend. Kids' Church for children ages 5-12 meets at 10 am also. --Edwin

"Organizations like ours attract people to them when they have standards. Men see an opportunity for themselves to develop and get better and grow."  A strong men's organization, the kind that truly serves men, grows by enforcing a high standard. This creates an environment where men are challenged to rise and attracts the men who are ready to do just that. Invite the right men in, set clear standards, and be willing to remove those who refuse to show up, engage, or improve. When these standards are clear and unwavering, the culture is strong and builds momentum.   This is another Arpa & Billou episode. They revisit how Sovereign Man shifted its context to upgrade the quality of the group, attracting more committed members. Arpa explains how they created a culture of cohesion and trust and ultimately attracted more men who wanted leadership development, brotherhood, and real-world results. Men prepared to do the hard work of looking inside themselves and standing up for their fellow man.  Rob Arpa is a senior council member of Sovereign Man.

It's Christmas week, and the perfect time to reflect on your future as a leader. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I'm answering one of the biggest questions I've been hearing to close out the year: How do I cast a bold, inspiring vision for 2026 without overcommitting or losing trust when I can't deliver it all at once? If you've ever wrestled with that tension, this episode will help you lead with both clarity and confidence. I walk you through how to cast a magnetic vision and pair it with grounded execution, so people believe in both your future and your follow-through. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Merry Christmas & Setup – A holiday message and the big question: how do I balance big vision with realistic execution [01:00] The Tension Every Leader Feels – You're dreaming big for 2026, but also wearing 5 hats and carrying the weight of everything you already do [01:30] Vision and Execution Are Not Opposites – You can lead both, if you hold them in tension with transparency [02:00] Vision Should Stretch You – If your "vision" only covers the next 30 days, it's not vision.

Belief comes from consistency, not hype [03:10] Real-World Example – Casting a boutique leadership vision even when you're just starting solo, and grounding it with small Q1 steps [03:45] Avoid the Extremes – Some cast vision with no follow-through.

“The idea behind Arctic Bath was born at Treehotel. And I think this is also an important part of the story. How new crazy things inspire other crazy people to do crazy things that nobody says is possible. We are not competing with each other, we are completing each other—working together and bringing people to each other. That's the way that we work with tourism in this area.”We're in great company with Maarten Raes and Peter Engström, two of the original visionary partners behind Arctic Bath, a one-of-a-kind hotel, spa, and restaurant floating on the serene Lule River in Swedish Lapland, where frost-covered forests transform with the seasons and the Northern Lights dance above the Arctic landscape. Here, they have reimagined what luxury means—not through excess, but through authenticity, nature, and slow travel. What makes Arctic Bath so extraordinary is the quiet conviction behind it—the grit it took to build something real, a team committed to genuine hospitality, and a philosophy that proves luxury is found in connection, not consumption.In this winter episode, we discover how slowing down in the Arctic teaches us what truly matters—and why some of the most meaningful travel experiences happen when we stop rushing and start listening.Top Takeaways[9:50] The story behind Arctic Bath's iconic circular main building meant to mimic timber logs jamming in rapids—and how architect Bertil Harström designed it as a visual tribute to the Lule River's legacy.[15:20] Amidst construction delays, a pandemic six weeks after opening, and countless late nights fixing things behind the scenes, Peter quietly delivered a serene sanctuary for their first season of worldly guests.[19:10] The Michelin Key arrived not for the rooms, the architecture, or the food alone—but for the intangible thing guests keep trying to describe—the genuine warmth of a team that chose to create something real.[21:45] Three ways to experience Arctic Bath: Land and Suite cabins offer spacious luxury, while floating Water rooms let you swim from your bed in summer and listen to the ice sing beneath you in winter.[24:45] The sauna and cold plunge ritual—rooted in centuries of Nordic living—transforms guests and locals alike, awakening something so natural that no manufactured wellness experience at home can replicate.[27:10] Each plate at Arctic Bath tells a story—of the river, the forest, the northern lights—translating the landscape into something guests can taste compliments of the relationships with local fishermen, farmers, and herders. [29:40] A winter day unfolds: dogsledding or snowshoe hiking with locals, Sámi stories shared around an open fire, a luxurious Swedish spa experience—and if you're fortunate, the Northern Lights dancing above in the endless night sky.[32:45] Arctic Bath's sustainability runs deeper than awards—it's woven into every choice, a commitment to nurturing the small businesses and community that make this place possible.Notable MentionsNordic CollectionTreehotel in Swedish LaplandVisit For YourselfArctic Bath Website | @arcticbath_sweden

Christmas marks the arrival of a solution to an unsolvable problem—how to stand before God when obedience isn't good enough.

We've heard this story so many times that it doesn't surprise us like it ought to. And what boy hasn't dressed like a shepherd for a Christmas play? But what was an ordinary workplace for these blue-collar sheep farmers became holy ground on this particular night. They were in for five surprises that would stay with them forever. Let's try to put ourselves in their sandals.I. The Audience (v. 8)II. The Angels (v. 9)III. The Announcement (vv. 10-12)IV. The Anthem (vv. 13-14)V. The Accuracy (vv. 15-20)Talk with God: Ask the Lord for opportunities to turn your workplace into holy ground this week.Talk with others: Invite a friend or family member to join you for a Christmas Eve service.Talk with kids: What does it mean to worship Jesus as King?

This week on Win Today, Jordan Rubin reveals how the body doesn't lie—and why the ancient wisdom of Scripture contains the keys to healing not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. After nearly dying from severe Crohn's disease, Jordan discovered that health isn't compartmentalized. Everything is connected—gut to brain, body to soul. And that the Bible had already mapped out the blueprint for healing. If you've tried to fix your body but stayed anxious… if you've addressed trauma but still feel inflamed… or if you're wondering why prayer isn't reversing depression, this episode will rewire your entire framework for healing and longevity. Guest Bio Jordan Rubin is one of America's most respected natural health experts and bestselling authors. After nearly dying from severe Crohn's disease at 19, Jordan discovered a life-saving health plan rooted in ancient biblical nutrition and supported by modern science. He's the founder of Ancient Nutrition and the New York Times bestselling author of The Maker's Diet. His latest book, The Biblio Diet, explores how God's original design for eating, moving, and living is the roadmap to lasting health. Jordan's message bridges faith and science to help people heal from the inside out.

Sign up for the NYE Circle – Sunday, December 28th at 8 PM ETIn this episode I yap about my dumpster fire day. Thought I had childcare, I didn't. My 2 year old had 47 meltdowns. My 4mo old joined me for the membership Q&A— cute but not ideal. I found out a full bag of Christmas gifts got accidentally taken out with the trash last night. My son pulled our fish tank down off the shelf. Gallons of water and tiny rocks EVERYWHERE, a gash in his leg, but luckily the fish survived and is currently swimming around in a soup bowl. Andddd tomorrow is a big grief anniversary for me.I will be crying into a cookie immediately after hitting post on this podcast but before I do I'll invite you to my NYE Circle event happening on the 28th.
