Jeff Miller Download Audio Transcript 00:36Open up your Bibles with me please to the book of 1 Corinthians and chapter 13 While you're turning there as is our custom I'm going to ask that you would please pray for me to communicate God's word clearly and accurately as I should and I will pray for you to have a heart open to receive what it is the Lord wants to teach us from his word today All right? Let's just take a moment and pray. Father, just a few minutes ago we were talking about being watchful in prayer. Father, make us watchful for the fruit that will come as your word is applied. The radical difference There will be when your people in this church apply what it is you've told us in this passage we're looking at today. Let your Spirit be our teacher. Father, open our hearts up. Remove any distractions from our hearts and minds. Help us to really dial in right now. We ask in Jesus' name.02:03And all of God's people said, Amen. Amen. 1 Corinthians chapter 13. If you've been with us through this study in 1 Corinthians, you've seen that Paul was going through problem after problem after problem after problem in the church. This church had a lot of problems. There were cliques and there were lawsuits There was sexual sin, and there was people insisting on their rights, and they made the Lord's Supper a fiasco. But really, if you wanted to sum up chapters 1 through 12, it really all boils down to one thing. Paul's saying, your lack of love for one another is the problem.03:04They just didn't love each other the way that God has called us to love. And because that's the problem, now we get to chapter 13 where we get to the solution. It's love. It's love. And some of you might be like, ah, yes, yes, yes. 1 Corinthians 13, I know this one. This is where Paul writes the wedding poem.03:34But this passage is used a lot at weddings, but I want you to understand, Paul wasn't in the middle of addressing the church's problems and was like, yeah, we've got to figure out this spiritual gift thing because you're all messed up. Oh, I just had an idea for a wedding poem. I better write this down while it's fresh. It's not a wedding poem.04:00Pastor Taylor talked last week about how the Corinthian church was so messed up about spiritual gifts. And Paul's like, no, no, no, I'm going to show you a more excellent way. Here's the more excellent way. The heart of ministry. The heart of using spiritual gifts. It's not talent.04:30It's not who works the hardest. It's not who puts in the most hours. It's not who's the most creative. The heart of ministry is love. And if you're sitting here today and you're like, yeah, love's not really my thing. Well, it's God's thing. And if you're like, well, you know, I'm just not really a loving person.05:00Well, then you better get on board. Because love is at the top, according to God. When the fruit of the Spirit is listed in Galatians 5, what's first? It's love, right? Paul tells us in Romans 13 that love fulfills the law. Jesus in John 13 said, Do you know? Oh, come on. I gave you so many hints. It's love. It's love. We've got to get on board. We have a little problem, though, in our language. We use the word love so generically, right? We say love for everything, right? But it doesn't all mean the same thing, right?06:00I can say I love hockey and I love my dog and I love my wife, but I don't love all those things the same way. You see, the Greek was a more specific language. They had different words for love. One word was eros. That's where we get the word erotic. That's the hubba hubba, husband and wife kind of love. Another word for love is, That's friendship love. Like Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. But the grandest word for love we're going to be talking about today is agape love. Agape. Agape is self-sacrificing. Agape is you ahead of me.07:02And understand that love isn't about feeling. All right? Feelings come, sure. And feelings go. But love isn't about feeling. Love is about doing. Right? Did Jesus love? Did Jesus love? How do we know? Everything from washing the disciples' feet to laying down his life on the cross, everything he did was an experience.07:30of love.07:35So how about you?07:38Are you a loving person?07:45Oh, in church we certainly idealize it.07:49Right?07:52But do we actually do it?07:56So on your outline today, how do I love?08:00I want to encourage you to not let, look, okay.08:04Because some of you have told me that you like to try to fill in the blanks ahead of time.08:10All right, fess up. Who does that? Raise your hand. Who tries to fill in the blanks? Okay.08:14Come on, this is a safe place to confess, and it's also a good place to repent.08:18I'm going to ask you to please not do that, because you're going to look at the outline today, and be like, oh, this one's easy. Love, love, love, love, love, love.08:25I'm going to ask you to hold on, hold on, all right?08:28and just walk in step with me. Will you do that? All right. So how do I love? In this passage we're looking, it's a very familiar passage, and he just talks about two things. There's two things here, right? And the first one is love absent. Love absent. Look at the first three verses. He says, if I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love.09:01I'm a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.09:08And if I have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains but have not love, I am nothing.09:22If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned I have not love.09:31I gain nothing.09:36You see this list here, what he's doing.09:38He's mentioning certain spiritual gifts here.09:42Did you see that?09:43And what he's doing is he's giving exaggerated examples of using spiritual gifts.09:51Like using them to the max.09:54But he says, if I use spiritual gifts, even to their peak performance, if I use them, but I don't genuinely love people, it results in, you see it? Nothing. It's not worth a thing if you don't love. See, the Corinthians, like us, so many times want the gifts of the Spirit, but not the fruit of the Spirit.10:24Paul says anything done without love is useless. Look at this example list of spiritual gifts. First of all, he talks about tongues. We're going to spend in a couple weeks quite a bit of time talking about what the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues is about. But notice here, he says, if I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, like what's angel language? What is that? Well, biblically, there is no such thing.10:54You see throughout these verses, He's exaggerating everything. He's saying, even if I speak a language that they only speak in heaven. He says, even if I did that, but I don't genuinely love people, it's just noise. It's just like banging a gong over and over.11:24How would you last? Probably not very long, right? And somebody would say, well, what happened in church? And you would say, nothing happened in church today. Well, there was some great music. And then the pastor got up and thought he was on the gong show. It was ridiculous. Next, he talks about prophecy.11:54Oh, by the way, he says prophecy is the greatest gift. In chapter 14, verse 1, we talked about this before. Prophecy literally means speak before. It's speaking God's truth before people. We cannot possibly overstate the magnitude of what happens when the Word of God is proclaimed.12:24I was reading about preaching this past week, and one preacher put it this way. He says, when the Word of God is proclaimed, we are bringing eternity into time. I was like, wow, wow, that's what's happening. But to get up and proclaim the Word of God, motivated by self-glory or fame or pride, but not motivated by loving people, it's nothing.12:54Next gift he talks about is knowledge. Do you notice the exaggeration? Here it is again. He says, understand all mysteries and all knowledge. More exaggeration, right? Like, who understands all knowledge? Who understands all mysteries? Like, what do you mean by mysteries? Well, the mystery was just things unknown to man, things only God knows. He's like, even if I knew Every single thing that God himself knows. Things no one else knows. You see, church, you can be highly educated. You can know the Bible frontwards and backwards. But if you don't love people, it's a big nothing.13:55All right, next gift, he talks about his faith. Do you see that? He says, if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains. Does that sound familiar? Faith moving mountains. Jesus talked about that. Matthew chapter 17, Matthew chapter 21. You know, it's the person that's like, you know, I have all faith. I believe. I believe for it. I claim the promise. I believe for it.14:24I just don't love those church people. Paul says you're nothing. And then he talks about the gift of giving. Again, exaggeration, hyperbole. He says I could give away every single thing that I own. And we do know that giving can be motivated by man's applause, right? Matthew 6. Giving can be motivated by guilt or peer pressure or obligation.14:57But if your giving isn't motivated by love, it gets you nothing. Even, even giving your body to be burned. You're like, time out, time out. Who gives their body to be burned? Like, what other motivation could somebody have for giving up their life for someone?15:24or for a cause or... Well, you could ask the Muslims. Because in Islam, dying as a martyr is the only sure way to heaven. They tell these young men, yeah, if you give your life to the cause of Islam, when you get to heaven, you're going to have 70 virgins to enjoy for all of eternity. Do you think they're motivated by love? So see, you can be a martyr.15:56But it doesn't necessarily have to be motivated by love, does it? Here's the bottom line with these first three verses. Paul's saying it doesn't matter what you do in ministry. It doesn't matter how well you do it. Because if you don't love people, you're wasting your time. To what degree? Well, notice in verse 1, he says if you don't love, you produce nothing.16:23Right? Just a clanging cymbal. You produce nothing. Verse 2, he says, if you don't love, you are nothing. And in verse 3, he says, if you don't love, you gain nothing. You've wasted your time. Since this is true, we better understand how to love people.16:53Love Absent. Secondly, let's talk about Love Active. You didn't start filling in your outline yet, did you? Like getting ahead? You didn't start getting ahead, did you? Okay. All right, Love Active. Love Active. Like, okay. A lot of people have different ideas about what love means, what it looks like, how to do it. What does the Bible say? Well, I get some great news for you. There's no ambiguity here whatsoever.17:23Actually, there are 15 words and phrases here that describe love. All right? 15 sub-point sermon. When's the last time you had one of those? All right? Look at verses 4 through 7. He says, love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast.17:53It does not insist on its own way. It is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Yep.18:27That's not really the point though, is it? The point's not FYI. The point is not for you to walk out here today to say, well, now I have a better understanding of how the Bible defines love. That's not the point. The point is, is this how you love? The point is, Does this list describe you? Does this list describe me? And isn't it just so ironic that church can be the hardest place to love people? Do you notice that? Sometimes it is. Why is that?19:27Well, we're not all BFFs, right? We're just not. We're a family. We're a body. It's easy to love the people that you like. But God allows difficult people in the church.19:53And difficult people are here to test you. To see whether you really love or not. Do you? We'll find out when you encounter somebody that's hard to love. So, here's what we're doing with your outline. You know, 1 John 4 and verse 8 says, God is love.20:26In Ephesians chapter 5 and verse 1, says, therefore be imitators of God as beloved children.20:35So, if God is love, and we are called to imitate God, that means we are to imitate God's love.20:51So your outline here this morning is more of a test. And this is going to show you where you need to grow in love. Since God is love, and since we are to imitate God, here's what we're going to do as we go through, and we're just going to spend a moment on each of these.21:21in the Bible, you should be able to put your name in the blank. And if you truly love like God, the passage should still make sense. Right? So here's what I want you to do. As we go through these, I want you to write your name on the blank. And I want you to hold on to this outline. I want you to keep it as a bookmark in your Bible. And I want this to be a test that you give yourself to say, Does this describe me? Is this how I love people in the church? Alright? It's going to get uncomfortable. But we're committed to this. Right? Put your name down. First it says, love is patient. Put your name down. Can you say that? Can you say, Jeff is patient?22:23Is that you? Because you realize some people just require more patience. Have you noticed? Have you noticed that there are people that we deal with in the church are like, they should have gotten it by now. They should have gotten it six months ago and they still haven't gotten it. Are you a patient person? Patience means I don't write them off.22:51You know what? I'm done. Patience says, you know what? I'm committed to them. Put your name down. Jeff is patient. Can you say that? Secondly, love is kind. Put your name. Jeff is kind. Are you a kind person? The Greek root for the word kind is literally It's always trying to benefit others. Always looking to bless others. Kindness is not tearing people down. It's looking to build up and encourage. That's what kindness is. Can you say that? Jeff is kind. Put your name in there. Next. Love does not envy.23:51Jeff does not envy.23:56We saw last week in verse 31, Paul says, you're coveting the showy gifts.24:05Paul's like, you just want to look like you're the most spiritual person at the church.24:13They had a problem with envy.24:17So let me ask you, how are you doing with envy?24:23Like when somebody in church is talked about, and somebody says, wow, they are such a godly example. And you hear somebody being honored at church, and ooh, that just rubs you the wrong way. And you're like, they're nothing special. Jeff doesn't envy. You know why? Because love looks at people's gifts.24:50different. Love is glad when someone is used by God. Not critical. Love is cheering the rest of the team on. Not envying. Jeff doesn't envy. Next. Love does not boast. Put your name in. Can you say that? Jeff does not boast. This could literally be translated blowhard boasting. It's the person that does and says everything to make himself look good. Everything they do, everything they say, put the spotlight on me. Do you see how awesome and godly and great and perfect and biggest, best, most, goodest I am? Always wanting the attention, always wanting the accolades, You see, envy, wants what other people have. Boasting is to try to make people envy what you have. And love does neither. Right? Can you say that? Jeff does not boast. Next, love is not arrogant. Put your name in the blank. Write it down. Write it down. You're like, I haven't signed my name this many times since I bought a house. Right? Write your name down. Can you say that? Jeff is not arrogant. Arrogance is just the force behind boasting. Right? It's that belief that I'm better than everyone else. I'm the most spiritual person here. But you know, when you truly love other people, you're not going to exalt yourself over them. You're like, you know what?26:50I'm nothing special. I'm a saved sinner. Just like the rest of you. I'm not on any higher plane or exalted status. We're all in the same place here. Sinners saved by grace. So what do I possibly have to be arrogant about? Put your name in the blank. Can you say that? Jeff is not arrogant. Next, love is not rude.27:21Jeff is not rude.27:26That's just treating or speaking to people with disdain.27:32Right?27:32We talked about the rudeness of the Corinthians, right?27:35They had their potluck and people would show up early.27:41And they brought a tuna new casserole or whatever to share with everyone.27:45But they'd show up early and they'd hog it all down themselves.27:48And then people would come later and there wasn't anything for them. Do you know what that's called? Rude! That's rude! And love is not rude. So Jeff should not be rude. And you should not be rude. Right? Lots of ways to be rude. There's lots of ways. Interrupting people. Just talking right over them. Making sure you get in your jerky comment. Go zing them! Right?28:18Just being dismissive. Love isn't rude. Next, love does not insist on its own way. Can you say that and it still makes sense? It's convicting, isn't it? You think the only reason I'm sweating is because it's 120 degrees?28:51Jeff does not insist on getting his own way.28:59That's the biggest problem in church.29:04We're all self-centered.29:06We're all self-centered.29:08I want everything how I prefer.29:10Okay?29:11Church will be great as long as I get everything that I prefer.29:14The music, the kids' ministry, how money is spent, etc., etc., No, no, no, no. Jeff doesn't insist on getting his own way. Love says, look, I want what's best for everyone. I trust the leadership to make decisions. And if things are decided at the church, even if it's not my preference, I just want what's best for everyone. That's what love says. I was thinking about these characteristics, by Jesus, specifically this one, you realize Jesus never did anything just for himself. Did you ever notice that? Everything Jesus did was in perfect submission to his Father and to benefit and bless other people. Jesus never took a day where he's like, you know what, today's about me. I'm having a me day. I'm having a mental health day. I'm going to the spa. Jesus never did that.30:19Jeff does not insist on getting his own way. Next, love is not irritable. Can you say that? Put your name in the blank, write it down, write your name. Jeff is not irritable. This term, irritable, it's actually an explosive term. It's talking about the outbursts.30:48it comes when you're annoyed to the point of breaking. Do you know what I'm talking about?30:56Do you know what I'm talking about?30:58You're annoying me now. Do you know what I'm talking about?31:02I'm getting a little irritated.31:03Do you know what I'm talking about?31:05Where you're just like annoyed and you just keep eating it and annoyed, you just keep eating it and then find like, enough!31:11I've had enough!31:13It's explosive, right?31:15That's what this word means.31:17Like, irritable. Irritable. And some people just, they're personally offended by everything. Some people are just personally offended by everything. What will offend me today? They just roll out of bed on my way to church. What's going to offend me at church today? Is it going to be something said in a sermon? Is it going to be something said in a conversation where the ironing board used to be?31:50What's going to offend me today? Just constantly looking for something to irritate them. But no, no, no, no. Love doesn't do that. Love doesn't take up an offense. Love doesn't get irritated. I care too much about these people to take issue with everything. Jeff isn't irritable.32:18Next. Love is not resentful. Put your name down. Jeff is not resentful. By the way, your name. I keep saying Jeff because that's my name. I better not see your outline where it says Jeff down. Your name. Okay, so like irritable is the explosive term. Resentful is the slow burn term. Resentful. It's just, it's holding a grudge.32:47That's what it is. Actually, in the Greek, it was an accounting term. That's why some Bibles translate this, love keeps no record of wrong. Jeff is not resentful. Jeff should never keep a record of wrong. Can you say that? Oh, we're so good, right? Our memory is terrible.33:17except when it comes to other people's mistakes. Then our memories are great. Right? I don't like her. Why? Because this one time she said this. I don't like him. Why? Because this one time, you know, back in 1987, he did this. I will never forgive her for doing that. It's resentful. You know, somebody, that person could have been having a bad day.33:46The whole thing could have been a complete misunderstanding, but no, no, no, no. I got that in the vault now. All right? I'm resentful. I'm resentful. But love keeps no record of wrong. Do you know why? Do you know why? Do you know who else doesn't keep record of wrong? God. What is it? Jeremiah 31, Hebrews 8, a promise so glorious. He said, in both testaments. God has promised under Jesus Christ He will remember our sins no more. And if there's ever anybody who is justified to keep a record of wrongs against me, it would be God. That because of Jesus Christ, when you receive Him, when you believe in Jesus Christ, when you accept Him as your Lord and Savior, He takes your sin away.34:48And he keeps no record of it. God keeps no record of sin. Love says, Jeff shouldn't either. Right? Can you say that? Next, love does not rejoice at wrongdoing. Jeff does not rejoice at wrongdoing. You're like, rejoice at wrongdoing?35:16Who does that? Everybody does that. We take pleasure. We take pleasure in other people's sins. Like, what do you mean? But just imagine if one of the leaders of our church was caught in some sin. Oh, you're going to see some nastiness come out of people if that would happen. One is you're going to see, People comparing themselves to that leader. You're like, well, I'm not a great person, but I'm not as bad as him. Or the gossip, right? The leader was caught in some sin. There'd be so much gossip. Hey, did you hear what he did? Did you hear about that? There'd be so much gossip going around about that. We delight in other people's sin.36:16Oh, and the slander. That guy, you know, Gossip's ugly cousin, slander. Like, oh, did you hear what he did? Oh, he's not so high and mighty now, is he? Oh, he, oh, leader in the church, huh? Oh, look at him now. Love doesn't rejoice at wrongdoing. So Jeff should not rejoice at wrongdoing because if something offends God, why would I take joy in that? Love is never happy at someone else failing.36:46But love rejoices with the truth. Jeff rejoices with the truth. Dishonesty leads to distrust. Relationships must be built on truth. Can you say that? You rejoice with the truth. You rejoice with honesty because dealing in truth is God's way. And homestretch here.37:16Love Bears All Things. Jeff Bears All Things. Your name Bears All Things. What does that mean? Bears All Things. Literally, the word means to cover. That's literally what the Greek word means. It's covering. It's covering someone's failures and covering someone's sins. Now, yes, when someone is in sin, we talked all about this, we address sin.37:46But what we do not do is parade it around for other people. Like we tell our kids, don't tattle. Right? Don't tattle. Why? Because love doesn't do that. Right? When I was a kid, you know what we called tattling? See who remembers. Being a narc. How many people remember being a narc? Okay? Don't be a narc. All right?38:16we address sin, but we don't parade it around. All right, next, love believes all things. Jeff believes all things. Your name believes all things. But that doesn't mean you're gullible. She'll believe anything. Like, hey, the moon's made out of ham. Like, oh, didn't know that. Like, no, no, that's not what it means.38:46It means believing the best about a person. That's what it means. It's believing the best about a person. It means not being suspicious. That means if a comment is made, if a comment is made that can be taken one of two ways, you take it the good way. That's what it means. I believe the best about them. I don't believe that he said that to hurt my feelings.39:15I believe the best about them. That's what it means. Does that describe you? Or like you hear some rumor, right? Like somebody's like, hey, you know, last Thursday I heard, I was at Walmart and the Browns were in Walmart and I heard Taylor cussing out his wife. I would say, I don't believe that. I don't believe that. Why? Because I believe the best about Taylor.39:47That's what love does. Like, I know this guy. He wouldn't do that. Love believes the best about people, right? Negative example, Job's friends. Remember we went through Job a while back. Remember them? They come to comfort Job and they're like, so you're having a bad day, are you? Well, you must be a terrible sinner. No, love believes.40:15best. Love hopes all things. Jeff hopes all things. Your name hopes all things. Can you say that? It's never giving up on a person. That's what it means. It's never giving up on a person. Oh, he messed up again. I'm disappointed again. Love remembers. Jeff remembers. You remembers. We are all works.40:45in progress. Every single one of us works in progress. And love says, he'll get there. He'll get there. I'm not giving up hope. And then finally, love endures all things. Jeff endures all things. Your name endures all things.41:18Can you say that? That means we survive. The relationship that we have survives even terrible times. That's what that means. With all this patience and kindness and selflessness, you know, the hard times are going to come.41:48And when the dust settles, I'll still be here.41:56No matter what happens, listen, I am for you.42:04No matter what.42:06Because love never lets go.42:13Our worship team would make their way back up to the platform. You might be looking at your list right now. And like me, you look at some areas here. You're like, wow, this doesn't quite describe me the way that I wish that it did. What do I do about that?42:43that are like, meh, meh. I guess I gotta try harder, huh? No. No. Because you can't, look, when it comes to love, you can't fake love. But you also can't muster it up. There's only one thing you can do with love.43:14And that's funnel it. It has to come from God. So I want you to hang on to this. Because wherever you are deficient, you need to take that to God. And I'd like us to do that right now. If you just bow your heads for a moment, please.43:43Just bow your heads. And I want to pray a prayer that is for all of us. Father, we look at your word, we look at this list that under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote to the Corinthians and ultimately to us. We look at this list, Father, and there's so many ways that we fall short. So many ways we should be doing so much better. So many ways we have completely blown it.44:15But Father, we thank you that this list describes you. You haven't given up on us. You continue to pursue and change us. Father, you have called us to imitate you. But the only way we can have love at all because you first loved us.44:48So Father, I pray not just for myself, but for my brothers and sisters here, for those who are streaming or listening to the podcast later.44:56I pray, Father, that we would take this list before you and take an honest assessment and cry out to you for the kind of heart change that only your Holy Spirit can bring about.45:13And Father, might we be a church where more and more our testimony is.45:25We're not perfect and we've got a lot of growing to do, but we are committed to loving one another.45:34We ask this in Jesus' holy and precious name.45:38Amen.

Bloating is a common presentation in primary care and can be caused by a wide variety of conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerances, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.[Main] Bloating is a key characteristic of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but can also be a sign of a food intolerance (such as lactose intolerance) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, MIMS Learning editors Sangeeta and Rhiannon explore the potential causes of bloating and how they should be diagnosed and managed.They review both the NICE and the Rome IV criteria for diagnosing IBS, subtypes, and management options (such as the FODMAP diet), and look at red flag symptoms that require further assessment. They also discuss the differences between functional gastrointestinal conditions and IBS.The bidirectional relationship between eating disorders and gastrointestinal conditions, and how bile acid malabsorption can masquerade as IBS-D, are also explored.Educational objectivesAfter listening to this episode, healthcare professionals should be more aware ofHow IBS is diagnosed and managedHow functional gastrointestinal disorders differ from IBSFood intolerances (including lactose intolerance) that are associated with bloatingThe bidirectional relationship between eating disorders and gastrointestinal conditionsYou can access the website version of this podcast, along with a list of key learning points, on MIMS Learning — and make notes for your appraisal.

Burnout doesn't always look like breakdown. Sometimes it looks like excellence. Still showing up. Still producing. Still dependable. But internally? Disconnected. Irritable. Emotionally thinner than you used to be. In this episode of the Intentional Queen Podcast, I'm unpacking high-functioning burnout — the version that doesn't get flagged because performance hasn't dropped. You'll learn: • The difference between high performance and over-functioning • Why emotional blunting is often missed • What shrinking capacity actually feels like • Why strong women and nurses are the least likely to be checked on • How sustained output without structured recovery leads to collapse High-functioning burnout isn't weakness. It's prolonged responsibility without regulation. And if you're still performing but privately exhausted, this conversation will feel familiar. Because burnout is predictable. But only if you know what to look for. Reflection Question Where has your capacity quietly decreased — even though your performance hasn't?

Oser s'affirmer - avoir confiance en soi en tant que femme (hyper)sensible et anxieuse
Le stress chronique peut s'exprimer par des symptômes physiques comme le syndrome de l'intestin irritable, l'insomnie, le bruxisme, ou encore une fatigue persistante.Dans cet épisode, Élise partage son témoignage sur la manière dont son stress chronique s'exprimait dans son corps… malgré tous les professionnels et solutions qu'elle avait déjà essayés.Gastro-entérologue, naturopathe, compléments alimentaires, psychiatre…Élise a longtemps cherché des réponses à l'extérieur pour apaiser ses symptômes.Et pourtant, quelque chose ne changeait pas.Elle savait ce qu'elle devait faire.Mais elle ne trouvait ni le temps, ni l'énergie pour passer à l'action.Elle était dans ce que beaucoup de femmes vivent sans vraiment le nommer :l'épuisement, la survie, et un mental envahi par le ressassement et les projections.Dans cet échange, Élise raconte le moment où elle a compris que chercher des solutions partout ne suffisait plus.Et que le vrai changement passait par autre chose :se remettre au centre, reprendre sa place, et arrêter d'attendre qu'un professionnel ou une solution extérieure la “sauve”.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons :• du stress chronique et de ses manifestations physiques (intestin irritable, insomnie, bruxisme…)• du parcours de soin fragmenté (spécialistes, compléments, solutions multiples)• du décalage entre savoir quoi faire… et ne pas réussir à le mettre en place• de l'épuisement mental, du ressassement et de la perte de repères• du passage d'une posture de dépendance à une posture d'autonomie et de responsabilisation• de ce que signifie vraiment reprendre sa vie en mains.Si vous vous reconnaissez dans :un stress chronique qui impacte votre corpsdes symptômes comme intestin irritable, troubles du sommeil, tensions, fatiguele fait de chercher des solutions partout sans résultat durablela sensation de ne plus savoir par où commencerou l'impression de vous être perdue en cheminalors cet épisode pourrait profondément résonner avec vous.Cet épisode s'inscrit dans la démarche du podcast The Good Balance, où nous explorons le lien entre stress chronique, système nerveux, symptômes inflammatoires et transformation personnelle.
Why do so many of us feel tired, irritable, overwhelmed or just… not quite right?In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle tells us about the connection between the liver, the nervous system, and the stress of modern life through the lens of Chinese medicine.As the seasons change, the body shifts its energetic focus, and according to Chinese medicine, spring is the season of the liver. When that energy becomes blocked or “stagnant”, it can show up in surprising ways... irritability, low mood, headaches, skin flare-ups, fatigue, and a nervous system that feels constantly on edge.Katie explains why modern life is so disruptive to this delicate balance and shares simple daily practices that can help restore flow and calm the body again – from movement and laughter to walking, stretching, body brushing and reconnecting with nature.--------------------------------------------More information here: https://katiebrindle.com/Subscribe to my newsletter: https://katiebrindle.com/newsletter-signup/Buy 'Yang Sheng: The Art of Chinese Self-Healing' athttps://www.hayoumethod.com/product/yang-sheng-the-art-of-chinese-self-healing/Buy the Hayo'u tools at https://www.hayoumethod.com/products/--------------------------------------------Join my channel and leave a comment about what you want to see next!Love, Katie Brindle.
Healing the gut rather than relying on long-term restrictive diets is considered a better approach to manage IBS and bloating than restrictive dieting. Irritable bowel syndrome is very common in New Zealand, affecting an estimated 15–20 percent of the population, or roughly 1 in 7 adults. Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara reveals how to work through long-term gut issues. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I am coming off one of the highest moments we have ever experienced as a team. Ignite 2026 was the biggest one yet. The energy. The recognition. The collaboration. The stories. The numbers. The celebration. I could barely sleep that night because I was watching it unfold from perspectives I do not always get to see. Behind the scenes, Carla and I are focused on execution. But through social media, through your messages, through your faces, I got to witness what it meant to you. And that is when something hit me. Every single year, people walk up to us and tell us what they are going to accomplish next year. Ten million. Fifteen million. Twenty million. And almost every single time, the ones who say it and commit to it actually do it. But here is the tension. There is a difference between declaring something with conviction and announcing something for a dopamine hit. In today's world, you can post that you are starting a diet, running a marathon, building a business, and immediately get applause. Congratulations. Fire emojis. Likes. Validation. And that initial rush can feel just like the accomplishment itself. It feels done before the work even begins. That is dangerous. Because when the lights turn off, when the music stops, when the stage is gone, you are left with the same marriage, the same finances, the same limiting beliefs, the same pipeline, the same habits. And if you are not grounded, that vision that felt so certain at Ignite can feel overwhelming just a few days later. So the real question is this. Who are you when things do not go your way? Right before Ignite started, we realized we had signed off on a much larger expense than expected. A surprise bill. A big one. It would have been easy to get frustrated. To lower my energy. To let it throw off the entire event. But how can I stand on that stage and ask you to go for ten million if I let a surprise expense shake my belief in abundance? The moment tested me. And that is what I need you to understand. You do not become a ten million dollar producer when everything is perfect. You become one in how you respond when it is not. If an appraisal comes in low and you spiral, you are not there yet. If a binzer does not go your way and you shut down, you are not there yet. If one client disrupts your momentum and your energy drops, you are not there yet. The numbers you wrote down at Ignite are possible. I believe that fully. But you have to stop chasing the high and start building the foundation. Events like Ignite are the cherry on top. They are not the foundation. The foundation is built in the in between. It is built in the daily deposits. The power deposits. The purpose deposits. The profit deposits. It is built when you post one video today instead of promising five every day and burning out by Wednesday. It is built when you upload ten contacts into your CRM instead of saying you are going to rebuild your entire database in one sitting. It is built when you follow up today. Not when you feel like it. Not when motivation is high. Today. The top producers who spoke on that panel did not get there by accident. It was strategic. It was methodical. It was disciplined. They got mentally right. Physically right. Spiritually right. Emotionally right. Then they executed. That is not a concept anymore. It is a fact. And the fact is this. You do not need to go chase conferences, happy hours, or environments that sell you a false narrative. You do not need constant highs. You need consistent wins. When I used to chase that conference high, I would come home depleted. Irritable. Blaming my circumstances. Because reality did not match the energy of the stage. That is addiction. That is not growth. Growth is when your baseline is strong enough that even your worst day is still better than your old life. That is what we are building here. Some people avoided Ignite because they were ashamed. Maybe they did not get the award they wanted. Maybe they did not get one at all. But hiding from reality does not help you grow. Facing it does. You should have been on that stage. If you were not, that is not shame. That is information. Now do something with it. Between now and your next review, what are you going to change? Not next year. Not someday. Today. Swing for singles. Get on base. Win today. The grand slam comes when you stack enough singles. If all of you hit the numbers you declared, we are looking at over a billion dollars in production collectively. That is not fantasy. That is math. But math only works when the daily inputs are consistent. You do not work up to a client. You work through a client. You do not stop when you get an appointment. You keep running the race. You do not pass the baton. You stay in motion. And above all, you cannot get thrown off by the small things. The next level version of you does not respond with frustration. They respond with composure. They respond with solutions. They respond with discipline. Ignite set a new bar. But we do not top fire dancers and sparklers with more theatrics. We top it with more of you on stage. That is how we win. Now the question is simple. Are you willing to want it more than I want it for you? Reflection Questions When things do not go your way, what is your automatic response and does it align with the level of producer you say you want to become? What are three small deposits you can make today that move you closer to your declared number? Are you chasing environments that make you feel accomplished, or are you building habits that actually make you accomplished? Notable Quotes "You do not become a ten million dollar producer when everything is perfect. You become one in how you respond when it is not." "Events are the cherry on top. The foundation is built in the in between." "We do not top it with more fireworks. We top it with more of you on stage." Follow A.Z. Araujo on Social Media: Instagram: @azaraujo Facebook: A.Z.

It is the first Prime Minister's Questions of the new year – and Keir Starmer returns to the Commons already under pressure. With major international crises unfolding, Kemi Badenoch used PMQs to question whether the Prime Minister is present, engaged or in control. In response, Starmer just seemed narky.As the exchange descended into rows over Ukraine, Venezuela and the role of government lawyers, the issue of the armed forces – how they are supported and resourced – came up once again. With global events dominating the news agenda, are British forces prepared to be deployed – and does the Labour party really grasp the political danger of that debate?Oscar Edmondson speaks to Tim Shipman and Isabel Hardman.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I didn't fully realize was impacting me — and maybe it's impacting you too. If you've been feeling irritated, overwhelmed, scattered, or like you know what to do but just can't seem to follow through, this episode will shift something major for you. We're talking about constant input — the slow, invisible overload that comes from podcasts, YouTube, group chats, Audible, social media… even the "positive" stuff like inspiration and education. Because here's the truth: You're not unmotivated. You're overloaded. And the more you consume, the harder it becomes to follow through. We break down: Why information overload kills your clarity and consistency How this input creep drains not just your time, but your emotional energy Why follow-through feels harder than ever (and what to do about it) And how to create more space for peace, progress, and presence in your life This isn't about deleting your apps or doing a digital detox. It's about reclaiming your focus — so you can actually act on what you already know.

Do you know the difference between a high HRV and a low Resting Heart Rate? More importantly, do you know how to change your training based on that data?Today, Ross is joined by Peter Tierney, a veteran Sports Scientist and Performance Coach who has worked with elite organizations ranging from Leinster Rugby to Lululemon. Peter specializes in "connecting the dots"—taking complex physiological data and turning it into actionable coaching advice.In this episode, you will learn:The Wearable Trap: Why obsessing over your Whoop or Garmin sleep score might be hurting your performance, and which metrics (like temperature and morning HRV) actually predict illness.The "SHIT" Framework: A simple 4-step checklist (Stiff, Heavy, Irritable, Tired) to decide if you should push hard or pull back on training.Marathon Science: Why your taper feels wrong (but is right), and the specific math for effective carb-loading (liquid vs. solid carbs).Recovery Myths: Why "feeling" recovered is often more accurate than your data, and how to use naps as a stress "circuit breaker."Mentioned in this episode:Heart Rate Variability (HRV)The "SHIT" Recovery FrameworkCarbohydrate Loading strategies (6-10g per kg)Supplements: Creatine Monohydrate, Omega 3s, Beetroot shots (Nitrates)Quote of the episode:"A recovery strategy if you feel tired shouldn't be the same as if you feel stiff or heavy.

Many are the questions that run through the heads of the Little Snail's award-winning chefs as they are paraded through the streets of Calstega Bay. Some are quite philosophical: When is a victory a failure, and when might imprisonment be protection? Others are more mundane in nature: What is wrong with this Commodore, and how much trouble are we in? They will find answers to some of these questions, certainly, but some answers are only doors to new mysteries and new visions of the world… This week on Perpetua: Sizzling Rivalry, Crashing Waves! 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.04] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Hoodlum Mechanic [NMHMC] Typical Traits: Boastful, Irritable, Proud, Strong Stats: DEX 6, INS 6, MIG 10, WLP 8 Attacks: Flash Orb, Heavy Wrench Special Abilities: Field Repair, Electroswing, Bad Temper In-Game Description: Mechanic for the Calstega Bay Cheetahs. You might read “mechanic” and think “brain, not brawn.” But the Cheetah Gang's mechanics are a bit of both. They have giant, electrified wrenches and they know how to use ‘em. That said, they aren't especially hard to hit, so if you're aggressive, you can knock ‘em out before they get the upper handon you. Starter Tip: Make sure to take them out (or at least disable them) before you try to focus on any automatons or constructs, otherwise you'll find that the damage you do gets repaired away! Gangster Killer [NMGKL] Typical Traits: Sneaky, Perceptive, Arrogant, Fast Stats: DEX 8, INS 6, MIG 6, WLP 8 Attacks: Knife Toss, Steel Dagger Special Abilities: None In-Game Description: Cold blooded killer for the Cheetah gang.. These guys are just about the most basic enemy in the game. They do one thing: Damage. They don't have a ton of HP, they don't have a bunch of special moves or spells. They just stab you as hard as they possibly can. Starter Tip: Not much to say, except hope that you don't get dazed by their Knife Toss! Activated BuilderBot [NMABB] Typical Traits: Sneaky, Perceptive, Arrogant, Fast Stats: DEX 8, INS 6, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Hammer Smash Special Abilities: Barrier Projector In-Game Description: A Calstega Bay Construction bot that has been modified by the Cheetahs. I didn't expect robots to pop up in this game, did you!? If you let a mechanic activate them, they can become a real problem. Not only do they have a really strong melee attack (that can slow you if it hits!) but their Barrier Projector can also prevent the party from fleeing. That said, if you get lucky, you can get one for yourself and use it not only in battles against high-value monsters that flee, but also in some Adventure Field Puzzles, and even in the boss fight at the end of Calstega Bay! Starter Tip: If you can get a BuiilderBot into crisis, it gains the unique “Exposed Core” debuff, losing its fire and ice resistance, but also turning all of its melee damage into Bolt.

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
A Fine Marriage, Now an Extraordinary Marriage: Bart's Story Bart is a Christian leader. He's the head of a childcare agency working with traumatized children and teens. He's been married for nearly 20 years and has four beautiful kids. And by his own admission? He was tired. Burned out. Irritable. Or, in his words—“crusty.” He wasn't in crisis. His marriage wasn't “on the rocks.” But it wasn't thriving either. And Bart knew something had to change. Christian Leaders Get Tired, Too—But That Doesn't Mean You Stay There One Saturday morning, Bart's wife tried to be playful with him—and he snapped. He didn't mean to. He was just worn out, juggling too many roles, feeling the pressure of leadership, family, and ministry. But his wife's gentle confrontation was a turning point. She didn't yell. She didn't threaten. She just called it what it was. And Bart—rather than shutting down—responded with humility and self-reflection. Not because he had to… But because he wanted to grow. Why “Good Enough” Marriage Isn't the Goal—Even for Ministry Leaders Bart described his marriage as “a 9 on a bad day.” No major fights. No betrayals. No one was threatening to leave. But deep down, he knew something wasn't right. The joy was fading. The connection was inconsistent. And his presence at home was… thin. Too many leaders settle for “fine” because there isn't obvious brokenness. But lack of crisis doesn't mean abundance of health. How One Christian Husband Reconnected With His Wife (and Kids) Bart didn't just learn new tools—he let God change his posture. He took a long, hard look at his own heart. He asked his wife, with full honesty, "Have I made intimacy feel transactional to you?" She said no. But Bart still made changes. He apologized for things from 20 years ago. He went to his kids, one by one, and asked for forgiveness for being emotionally absent. And the impact? Laughter returned. Confidence rose. Connection was rebuilt—at home, where it matters most. When You Lead at Work But Struggle at Home Bart's job requires emotional intelligence, patience, and deep listening. He gives that to kids, to employees, to families in crisis. But when he got home? He was depleted. He admits, “I was giving my best to strangers—not to the people who mattered most.” The CIRQUE listening framework helped him shift. Not just in knowledge—but in behavior. He started seeing his wife again. Not as someone who was “doing fine,” but as someone he was called to serve and cherish. Intention Without Action Won't Heal a Struggling Marriage One of the most striking moments in Bart's story? The first time he walked around the car to open the door for his wife in years. She paused. Surprised. It had been that long. But it wasn't about the door. It was about intentionality. About pursuit. About loving her like the daughter of the King she is. Christian Leaders: Your Marriage Doesn't Have to Be Broken to Be Better Friend, maybe your marriage isn't “bad.” Maybe no one knows how empty or tired you feel. Maybe your congregation thinks everything's fine. But you know. You know you're not showing up the way you want to. You know she deserves more. You know God is calling you deeper. Don't wait for a crisis to choose transformation. Don't wait for regret to become your motivation. Start now. Invest now. Lead your home like Jesus—by going first.

PPPS - Here is a quote from (another) recent graduate: Being in ministry together and having raised 5 children under the pressure-cooker stress of the mission field, much of our life and conversation related only to family, ministry or solving "issues”…[Now,] there have been so many [celebrations] it's hard to list the biggest! I celebrate the peace in my heart that has allowed me to be non-reactive and non-explosive in some very difficult and high-tension situations…I celebrate the new playful way that we are connecting in the bedroom…I celebrate that my wife is now telling my children that "Dad is different!"
Hey Friend, Have you ever been told your symptoms are “just hormones”? You're exhausted. Bloated. Irritable. Your periods are off. You don't feel like yourself anymore... And someone says, “It's probably your hormones.”

On this episode of Community News we talk about the upcoming road race, what's happening at the guitar show and we find who's irritating Sasha.
What happens in your heart when someone wrongs you? In this profound exploration of 1 Corinthians 13:5, we discover the supernatural quality of love that remains unshaken even when deeply wounded. "Love is not irritable or easily provoked" challenges us at our core, revealing how far we are from Christ's example of perfect love. Let's commit to the means of grace: corporate worship without fail, immersion in God's Word, prayer, sacraments, and fellowship. This is how God changes us from within.Support the show
