We often hear about the lives of the wealthy, not only about how they enjoy their fortunes, but where their wealth came from. Now, I have a little admiration for those who have built themselves up. I may wish for a little of what they enjoy, I may question how they use their wealth to make the world better, but I also think, “good on them for putting forth the effort, taking the risks and making the most of opportunities and talents.” But then there are those who are born into wealth, who just have it all handed to them. Since about the age of three, I've known life's not fair, but witnessing someone enjoy a great blessing of unearned wealth raises up a little envy within me. Of course, stepping back and taking look at the bigger picture reveals something a little more complex or nuanced. Stepping back reveals how each in their own way enjoy some blessings and suffer some challenges; some may be blessed with great wealth, but suffer often invisible challenges. It's why even successful and beloved celebrities may sometimes sadly take their own lives. We've been exploring how the wisdom of Jesus can simplify some of the complicated, more nuanced moments of life. His wisdom may challenge his followers, but our faith reveals how his simple wisdom gives more space for joy by alleviating those nuamced moments of life that rob time, energy and peace. We examined how the nuanced experience of being hurt by a loved one is simplified through the prompt of the Saviour to directly approach the offending individual instead of turning to gossip or insisting they be the first to approach and apologize. We considered how forgiveness simplifies, not by dismissing harm, but by honouring hurt, acknowledging how it matters, and yet declaring, ‘debt cancelled'. Everyone experiences the nuanced challenges of envy and jealousy too. A child might be jealous that an older sibling gets to stay up later. An employee may be envious when a less experienced co-worker, who just happens to be a relative of the boss, is promoted first. I know some priests have left here after a visit wondering why I deserve to serve in such a blessed community. So often, we question why some should receive great blessings in life; some seem to have it all, while we're left behind. Why can some eat anything and never get fat? Why do some seem to be constantly surrounded with friends or opportunities? Why do some get to be beautiful or rich or both? These questions easily lead to the complicated, nuanced, experiences of envy and jealousy. Now, Jealousy isn't always bad. Of course, it can lead to greed or selfishness, but not always. Combined with love, jealousy drives God to do all he can to lead his people to his Kingdom. That same combination will drive someone to do anything to make their spouse happy and keep their children safe. Jealousy can motivate a student to study hard and achieve the grade they know they're worth. Envy, however, sadness over the blessings others receive, is always bad. In the parable from today's Gospel, those who worked the hardest for God expressed the sentiment, “…These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us…”[i]. Their concern is extremely relatable; they feel things are unfair. Lust, lies, selfishness, greed and gluttony, pride, even anger: really most sin comes with some promise for at least short-term pleasure, it's what makes sin so tempting. Envy, however, is just misery from beginning to end. Because of envy, the workers from the parable were unable to find joy in the blessings they did receive. They were unable to enjoy the invitation to share in God's work or to receive their pay. Envy conspired to ruin their relationship with God, to confuse the generosity of God with injustice. Through envy, the blessings of others brings sadness, fueling the belief that their blessings takes away from your own. Through envy, God himself seems unfair, life seems empty and being a disciple seems a life of toil instead of a life of abundance. Through envy, joy is impossible to find because someone always has more; there's always someone who's traveled more, has better behaved kids, a better job, better health, better bank account, the list is endless. The envious workers from today's parable did do one thing right: they brought their concerns to God who pointed out how, regardless of how long or how hard they had worked, the blessings others received took nothing away from their own blessings. There was no injustice; they got the wage they deserved. If you find yourself filled with the misery of envy, first stop giving attention to the blessings of others. If the workers from the parable had not been stuck making comparisons with one another, they could have recognized and enjoyed their blessings. Next, gratitude can be a remedy for envy. Regularly look for God's blessings in your life, they're not always obvious, and give him thanks; maybe start a practice of saying grace before a meal. This shifts focus from others to your own relationship with God. Finally, spend time with loving friends who build up and point out the blessings of life, who offer reminders of your goodness and value. Turn to God, especially, who demonstrates just what each of us are worth to him. Rich or poor, sinner or saint, intelligent, holy or talented: it doesn't matter; to God you're worth dying for. This simplifies life, eliminates envy by removing the temptation to compare with others and to instead see how blessings aren't found in having more than others, but in being loved by the maker. With the nuances of envy eliminated, disciples find joy in the blessings others receive. With envy abolished, our eyes are opened to recognize and enjoy blessings received. Without the weight of envy, those who follow the Saviour give him praise for repeatedly inviting each to […]
Proverbs 19 gives us a powerful lesson about stress, wisdom, trusting God, letting go, and learning to walk through life a little lighter. In this INCHSTONES episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we break down Proverbs 19 and one of the simplest lessons my Pops ever taught me: “Boy, the only reason you're stressed is because you're carrying things you weren't designed to carry.”Thanks, Pops. Super helpful. Meanwhile, I'm over here carrying tomorrow, next Tuesday, everybody else's problems, three imaginary conversations that haven't happened yet, and a situation God never asked me to touch.My Pops? Peaceful.Why?Maybe because he understood something I'm still learning: God never designed us to carry everything.Proverbs 19 reminds us that a little with God is worth more than a lot without Him. Desire without knowledge isn't good. Honesty is a superpower. You can't buy relationships. Wisdom matters. Diligence works. Jealousy is heavy. Speak life. Honor your family. Make good friends—and more importantly, be one.And yes… push-ups work too.Unfortunately, you actually have to do them.The same goes for wisdom.Seek it. Listen to it. Accept it. Apply it.Plans are good, but purpose prevails.Peace works when you practice it.And when we stop listening to God, eventually His voice becomes harder for us to hear. It's like turning off the faucet of knowledge and then wondering why we're thirsty.God is light.God is love.And the alternative gets heavy really fast.Maybe the goal was never to become strong enough to carry everything.Maybe wisdom is learning what was never ours to carry in the first place.Pops, you were right.“Boy, the only reason you're stressed is because you're carrying things you weren't designed to carry.”When we realize we were designed to carry God's love—not the weight of the entire world—we can finally walk light and free.Thanks again, Pops.I love you, and I miss you more than you'll ever know.INCHSTONE: What are you carrying today that God never asked you to pick up?

Josh Dech sits down with Jonny Mills, founder of Wealth Pilot, to discuss what happens when you stop automatically following the path society has laid out for you and begin questioning what actually creates health, fulfillment, freedom, and meaning. Jonny shares his personal experience of becoming seriously ill shortly after relocating from London to Cape Town. After being hospitalized with severe diarrhea and eventually diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, he was told that he had a genetic condition and would need long-term medication. Jonny describes how that diagnosis became the beginning of a deeper investigation into gut health, chronic illness, the microbiome, and the root-cause question rather than the end of the conversation. From there, the conversation expands beyond the gut. Josh and Jonny explore how chronic stress, work, financial pressure, social expectations, relationships, and our definition of success can all influence the way we experience life. They discuss the psychological cost of constantly seeking external approval, why comparing yourself to others can become a trap, and how deliberately defining your own values can create a different form of wealth. They also challenge the idea that traditional employment is automatically synonymous with security, discussing financial independence, entrepreneurship, investing, and the importance of building greater personal control over your future. For anyone dealing with chronic gut issues or inflammatory conditions, the deeper message is about becoming an active participant in your own health journey—while recognizing that personal agency doesn't mean ignoring professional medical care. This is ultimately a conversation about health, identity, responsibility, freedom, and the courage to question whether the life you're living is actually the life you want. TOPICS DISCUSSED: Taking Agency And Personal Responsibility For Your Life Jonny's Ulcerative Colitis Journey And Questioning His Initial Diagnosis/Narrative Risk, Fear, Uncertainty, And Making Major Life Changes Chronic Stress, Societal Expectations, And Their Relationship To Health Financial Freedom, Entrepreneurship, And Control Over Your Future Discipline, Excellence, Motivation, And Doing Difficult Things Intentionally External Validation, Identity, Self-Worth, And The Need For Approval Comparison, Jealousy, Envy, Mentorship, And Measuring Personal Progress The Illusion Of Job Security And Preparing For An Uncertain Future Practical Ways To Build Autonomy Through Information, Values, And Intentional Decisions More from Jonny Mills: Substack: The Wealth Code LinkedIn: Jonny Mills, CA Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review Need help with your gut?

Why can we genuinely love someone and still struggle with their success?Envy is one of the most universal human emotions and one of the hardest to admit.It rarely begins with strangers. It tends to emerge between people who resemble us. Siblings. Friends. Coworkers. Partners. The person whose life is close enough to our own that their success becomes a mirror.Sara Protasi is an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Puget Sound and the author of The Philosophy of Envy. For more than 15 years, she has studied envy, rivalry, social comparison, and the complicated ways these forces shape our closest relationships.She begins with an important distinction.Jealousy is the fear of losing something we already have. Envy is the painful awareness of something another person has that we believe we lack.Jealousy protects. Envy compares.As a teenager, Sara deeply admired one of her closest friends, but also believed her friend was prettier. Rather than acknowledging that insecurity, she began making subtle digs and backhanded comments.Years later, she recognized what had been happening.She genuinely loved her friend, but she also envied her.Those emotions were not mutually exclusive.That is part of what makes envy so difficult to recognize. It can exist alongside affection, admiration, and loyalty. It may appear as a joke with too much edge, a dismissive comment, or an inability to celebrate another person's success.But envy is not always destructive.Sara describes emulative envy, which occurs when another person's advantage becomes evidence of what may be possible for us.She shares the story of watching another dancer with a similar body type perform a movement she believed she could not do. Then Sara noticed that the dancer's leg was shaking from the effort.The difference was not an impossible physical advantage."She's just a hard worker," Sara realized.Instead of diminishing the other dancer, she studied her, worked harder, and improved.Envy had become information.But comparison can also move in the opposite direction.Aggressive envy focuses on taking an advantage away from someone else. Spiteful envy goes even further. The envious person may gain nothing, but still wants the other person to lose.The central question is not whether we compare ourselves to others. Social comparison is a natural part of being human.The question is what we do next.Do we allow another person's success to expose our insecurities and make us bitter?Or can we use that discomfort to clarify what we value, what we want, and who we might become?A life built entirely around comparison has no finish line.Near the end of the conversation, Sara becomes deeply personal. She discusses comparing herself to other academics, learning to parent herself, and how part of her competitive drive may trace back to not always feeling unconditionally loved as a child.Her work has not eliminated comparison from her life. It has helped her recognize it, understand it, and redirect it toward something more constructive.Perhaps the goal is not to stop comparing ourselves entirely.Perhaps it is to become more conscious of what the comparison is trying to tell us.As Sara puts it:"If you care about something, you should go and get it."Hosted by Pedro Frias.Connect with Sara Protasi:▶︎ BOOK | The Philosophy of Envyhttps://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/philosophy/ethics/philosophy-envy?format=HB▶︎ DISCOUNT | Use code PE25 for 25% off through December 31, 2026→ → → CONNECT WITH PEDRO FRIAS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ←▶︎ YOUTUBE | https://www.youtube.com/realpedrofrias▶︎ INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/pedromfrias▶︎ LINKEDIN | https://www.linkedin.com/in/pedrofrias/▶︎ WEBSITE | https://www.pedrofrias.co
Send us Fan MailJealousy Isn't the Enemy with Ally Iseman | Episode 263Jealousy is one of those emotions almost everyone experiences—but in the lifestyle, it can feel like something you're supposed to have already “figured out.”In this episode of The Swing Nation Podcast, Dan and Lacy sit down with Certified Relationship Coach Ally Iseman for an honest conversation about jealousy, envy, and what these emotions can actually teach us about ourselves and our relationships.Ally breaks down the difference between jealousy and envy and explains that jealousy isn't just one simple emotion—there are actually four different types, each with its own triggers and underlying needs.Together, Dan, Lacy, and Ally discuss why jealousy is completely normal, especially in non-monogamous relationships, and why pretending it doesn't exist—or believing you should eventually “grow out of it”—can actually make it harder to work through.Ally shares practical advice for recognizing what's underneath jealousy when it comes up, regulating your emotions before reacting, and figuring out what you may actually be needing in that moment. They also dive into how to bring those feelings to your partner without blame, accusations, or turning jealousy into a fight.Whether you're brand new to the lifestyle, have been navigating non-monogamy for years, or simply want to communicate better when uncomfortable emotions show up, this conversation is a reminder that experiencing jealousy doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. What matters is what you do with it.Tune in for a thoughtful, honest conversation about jealousy, communication, self-awareness, and building stronger relationships in the lifestyle.

Chasing the next thing keeps you exiled from the life already in front of you.To be jealous is to be of Satan. That simple. Have I ever been jealous? Yes. Are you kidding me? Absolutely.

Jealousy! It's a terrible thing to feel, talk to someone.
Want a hard pill to swallow today? One reason we haven't achieved our most deeply desired goals is that, while we want them, we're not willing to pay the price to make them happen. Instead, we sit idly and watch, with jealousy, as other people live our dreams instead of us. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton shares his version of this story, offering insight and encouragement. Do you want it? If so, are you REALLY willing to pay the price? This is the decision we must each make.Podcast Website: https://www.travisshelton.com/podcast Daily Blog: https://travisshelton.com/blog Subscribe to the Daily Blog: http://eepurl.com/gB07Ef Podcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/370457478238932 Travis's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travis_shelton_ Travis's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/travissheltonco/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCasnj17-bOl_CZ0Cb9czmyQTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meaning_over_money

In this episode of the Nacho Kids Podcast, Lori and David discuss the challenges and benefits of stepsibling relationships in blended families. They share personal experiences navigating concerns about stepkids being a "bad influence" or bullying bio kids, and how parental intervention (or lack thereof) can impact sibling bonding. Lori notes the importance of letting kids work through their own conflicts, with appropriate boundaries for physical and verbal harm, so stepsiblings can naturally develop relationships and coping skills. The hosts also emphasize that stepparents should avoid constantly separating the kids, as this can hinder bonding and create resentment. The conversation wraps up with insights on jealousy, household traditions, and the value of letting kids spend time together to build meaningful connections. Topics discussed: Concerns About Stepchildren as a Bad Influence Differentiating Bullying and Sibling Rivalry Parental Perspective and Protectiveness The Value of Sibling Interactions and Bonding Parental Emotional Response and Bias Family Traditions and Blended Family Stress Nurturing Positive Influences and Boundaries Differences in Nuclear and Blended Family Conflict Resolution The Role of Jealousy and Time Spent with Parents Importance of Allowing Step-Sibling Relationships to Develop Setting Realistic Expectations for Bonding

Welcome back to Talk My Credo Podcast EP223!This week, we're getting into one of those relationship debates that NEVER seems to go away:Can men and women genuinely be just friends?And maybe the better question is:What happens to those friendships once somebody gets into a serious relationship?The crew debates friendship boundaries, jealousy, emotional intimacy, loyalty, and whether you can become too close to another person while expecting your partner to simply accept it.Does being in a relationship mean certain friendships have to change?When does a close friendship become disrespectful to your partner?Are men actually more jealous than women?And how much should your partner be allowed to influence who you keep around you?We put those questions to the test with several What Would You Do? scenarios, forcing the crew to decide where they personally draw the line.Then, after The Shenanigan Report, the episode takes a major turn into a passionate conversation about Black liberation.We discuss politics, community power, what Black Americans may need to rebuild, and whether liberation requires returning to principles and institutions that have been lost along the way.From relationships to liberation, this one covers A LOT.In this episode:❤️ Can men and women really be just friends?

Since it's Labor Day here in the U.S., we're bringing back one of our favorite conversations on shifting jealousy and comparison into inspiration and possibility. It's easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to other women and feeling jealous, intimidated, or like you're somehow behind. But what if you could shift that mindset and instead feel genuinely inspired by the success around you? In this episode, we share a recent real-life experience from a mastermind we attended with highly successful business owners and how it challenged us to see comparison differently. Instead of letting the “small fish in a big sea” feeling discourage us, we used it as proof of what's possible. We talk about the mindset shift that helped us move from comparison to inspiration, why personal growth plays a huge role in that process, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can change the way you view your own potential.In this episode, we discuss:What it felt like walking into a room full of highly successful entrepreneurs.The surprising common habits we noticed among women operating at a high level.Why taking care of your physical health often supports long-term success.The “highlight reel vs. inner life” trap and why it distorts how we see other people's journeys.Questions to ask yourself when someone else's success triggers comparison.The hidden sacrifices and personal work that often sit behind visible success.Practical ways to shift from jealousy to curiosity and inspiration.Why your mindset about others' success can either hold you back or move you forward.How getting support, such as a mindset coach, can help you break out of negative thought patterns.The powerful question to ask when a negative thought about someone else pops up.LINKS AND RESOURCES:BETTERHELP: 10% off first month at: http://betterhelp.com/herselfLet's connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Walter, Samantha and Bobby Joe cross the street armed with a sword, a crossbow, a mace, a revolver and one deeply impractical suit of medieval armor. Richard is waiting. So is the rest of the neighborhood. Inside Richard's house they discover the party has evolved into something considerably less HOA-approved. Music. Neon. Blood. An orgy full of succubi. Richard sitting above it all like Satan's sexiest homeowners association president. Samantha asks where her daughter is. Then shoots Richard through the eye with a crossbow. It barely slows him down. Written by Nick Bannister, SUBURBAKNIGHT reaches its gloriously unhinged conclusion as Walter's fight to save his family becomes a full-scale supernatural war over everything he thought he had already lost. Richard separates them. Walter gets beaten nearly unconscious. Samantha is pulled into a seductive nightmare built from everything she thinks she wants. And Bobby Joe does what any legendary demon hunter would do when confronted with actual demons. He runs. Unfortunately, Richard isn't finished with him either. Bobby Joe finds himself inside the greatest fantasy of his life: back on the set of Terror Vision, surrounded by beautiful women telling him he's brilliant. Even Bobby Joe eventually realizes something is wrong. When the illusion breaks, he finds Mia. Or at least something wearing Mia. One conveniently placed antique mirror later, Bobby Joe finally discovers that some of his monster-movie bullshit may actually be useful. For perhaps the first time in his life, Bobby Joe Williams earns the title: Demon Hunter. Mia is safe. Her parents aren't. So Bobby Joe locks her in his van and goes back inside. Walter and Bobby Joe reunite, fight their way through Richard's newly demonic neighbors and discover something hidden beneath the perfect suburban house. A passageway. An underground chamber. And portraits proving Richard has been doing this for centuries. At the end of the tunnel, Walter finds Samantha. Richard has already gotten to her. Now Walter has to do something harder than fighting a demon. He has to remind his wife why she loved him in the first place. College. Their first night together. Bringing Mia home. Losing his father. Twenty years of marriage, mistakes, resentment, forgiveness and everything that somehow survived underneath it. For once, Walter gets the words right. And Richard discovers that a disappointing middle-aged husband with an antique sword, a pissed-off wife and a washed-up horror host can be surprisingly difficult to kill. What follows involves swords, guns, fire, a full-size demon, one extremely unfortunate anatomical injury and Bobby Joe's panel van. Because sometimes saving your marriage takes work. Sometimes it takes therapy. And sometimes it takes blowing up an incubus. Starring Darin Toonder, Jim O'Heir, Jade Tailor, Jack Daniel, Rob Fitzgerald, Logan Laurel, Emily Brolin, Ashley Platz, and Zeke Alton.

What if the person you're jealous of is actually showing you what you're meant to have?Jealousy isn't always a red flag. Sometimes, it's a GPS system pointing directly toward your desires.In this episode, we're unpacking how to use jealousy as a tool for manifestation instead of something you suppress, shame, or spiritually bypass.We talk about the difference between jealousy and envy, why jealousy is rooted in scarcity, how these emotions get stored in the body, and what to actually do when that familiar “why does SHE get to have it?” feeling hits.I'll also teach you my “I wish her more” practice — a simple shift that moves you from competition into abundance.Because if you truly believed there was an infinite amount of love, money, beauty, success, opportunity and attention available…Would you still be jealous?Maybe the trigger isn't telling you that you can't have it.Maybe it's showing you what you want next.✨ Ready to change your internal world?Join the waitlist for The Daily Method App — a 5-minute daily practice designed to help you heal the body, reprogram the subconscious, reconnect to yourself and become the version of you who can hold the life you desire.Where science meets soul & soul meets body.Join the waitlist to be the first inside.

Trying to support, but find yourself wincing at your peers' success? Jealousy is a normal human experience that hits creatives extra hard. Jake Parker and Anthony Wheeler discuss how to learn from these emotions and even improve from them.
Zachary Stockill: If you're trying to decide whether to break up or beat retroactive jealousy, it can feel like ending the relationship would immediately solve everything. Sometimes, breaking up really is the right choice. But in many cases, it doesn't resolve the underlying problem. It merely postpones it until you fall in love with someone […] The post Break Up or Beat Retroactive Jealousy? How to Decide [VIDEO] appeared first on Overcoming Retroactive Jealousy.
“I've Always Wanted to Do It In a Trailer Park”
Cecilia Gonzalez joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to talk about the ten years she spent in an abusive relationship that started at fourteen, and how she now teaches teens to catch the first yellow flag before it happens to them.Chapters(00:00) - Introduction (03:20) - Why Love Has to Start at Home (07:15) - Control That Looked Like Protection (10:42) - Jealousy, La Tóxica, and the Stages of Love (14:29) - The Wrong Bus: Love Bombing and the Phone Cycle (17:56) - Blame, Eggshells, and "I Can Fix It" (24:01) - The Music Video That Made Her Leave (27:51) - Three Skills: Communication, Equality, Rights About Cecilia GonzalezCecilia Gonzalez is the Human Trafficking Prevention Coordinator at Higher Ground Youth and Family Services in Orange County. Her students know her as Ceci. She is part of a team that delivers near peer prevention in local middle and high schools, teaching from lived experience rather than from a textbook, and she builds her presentations around quotes and stories that teens recognize from their own lives. She entered an abusive relationship at fourteen with an older partner and stayed in it for ten years, a decade she now uses to show students how control can arrive disguised as protection. She left at twenty-four, when her oldest daughter was two months old. Today she is raising three daughters, and she talks with students about la tóxica, love bombing, the silent treatment, and the rights every young person has: to feel safe at home, to be a kid, and to be loved in a healthy way.Key Points• Control often arrives in the language of protection, which is why it survives the first look. Ceci's partner came to her soccer practices to walk her home safely, and that became the reason she should stop playing.• The silent treatment is the first flag most teens miss. Someone who cares will have the conversation about what went wrong; withholding it is a punishment, and it shows up long before anything physical does.• An apology that arrives as a gift is one more turn of the cycle. He broke her phone whenever he got angry and replaced it within hours with one her parents could not have afforded, which made the next break easier to absorb.• Time in the wrong relationship is the cost that compounds. Ceci tells students, "If you get on the wrong bus, make sure you get off on the first stop," because she stayed on from fourteen to twenty-four.• Blame does its damage by moving the rules off the record. Once she was reading his face for permission he never had to forbid anything out loud, and she started deciding for herself not to see her friends.• A teen's playlist is a way in, and calling it bad music closes the door. Ceci wanted her mother to ask why she loved the sad, heartbroken songs she played loud enough to get told to turn them down.• Home sets the first model of love, so prevention starts before any relationship does. Ceci grew up without a picture of what affection looks like and assembled one from television, the same gap she now watches teens fill with Euphoria.• Teens act on rights before they act on warning signs. Ceci says the first two skills would have been lost on her at fourteen, but "Hey, Ceci, you have rights" would have landed: the right to feel safe at home, to be a kid, and to be loved in a healthy way.Resources• Higher Ground Youth & Family Services• Higher Ground's Human Trafficking Prevention Program (HTPP)• Global Center for Women and Justice• Safe Communities, Safe Kids (GCWJ, Samueli Foundation grant)• Lil Wayne, "How to Love" (official music video)

They discuss Paul's question about whether Israel stumbled to be damned, his emphatic “by no means,” and the idea that Jewish rejection opened salvation to Gentiles to provoke Jewish jealousy leading to some Jews being saved, clarifying that “full inclusion” refers to the completeness of salvation, not all Jews. They explore “life from the dead” as end-times resurrection (citing R.C. Sproul), the firstfruits/root/branches and olive tree grafting illustration, debate what the “root” represents, and emphasize Paul's warning that Gentile believers must not boast, since God can also remove them. 00:00 Welcome and Milestone 01:13 Romans 11 Setup 02:42 Reading the Passage 04:25 Stumbled or Hardened 06:14 Jealousy and Inclusion 09:03 Save Some of Them 12:06 Life from the Dead 14:22 Firstfruits and Root 17:09 Grafted In Warning 22:12 Gentile Pride Check 23:50 Travel Break and WrapNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser Find us at www.pondergmc.org.

A family in Gary, Indiana, spent a winter reporting things in their rented house that a priest, a caseworker, and a police captain all ended up putting on the record without rational explanation.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/AmmonsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2s3wxytmFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: From mysterious swarms of flies to terrifying levitations and violent attacks, the Ammons Family Haunting it's one of the most terrifying cases of demonic possession in recent history… allegedly. Believers and skeptics are still arguing over its authenticity. (The Demonic Haunting of the Ammons Family) *** In 1764, the peaceful region of Gévaudan, France, was plunged into terror by a series of brutal attacks attributed to a mysterious beast. As the creature's deadly rampage continued, whispers of a werewolf and sensational newspaper reports fueled a nationwide hysteria. Whatever the Beast of Gévaudan was, the true story still haunts the people living there. (The Terror of Gévaudan) *** In 1990, a horrifying mass shooting at the Las Cruces Bowl bowling alley left four people dead and three others wounded, including children. Despite multiple eyewitnesses and extensive investigations, the killers remain at large. (The Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre) *** New York City, where ghostly apparitions and haunted landmarks abound. From the infamous Dakota building to the chilling tales of Washington Square Park, New York is one of the most haunted cities in the world. We'll look at just a few ghost locations in the Big Apple. (The Ghosts of New York) *** When William W. Place remarried, he hoped for a loving and stable household. However, his new wife, Martha, quickly showed her true colors, leading to tragic consequences. It's a tale of jealousy, violence, and ends with the first woman executed by electric chair in the U.S. (A Red Path of Jealousy) *** Imagine dancing non-stop for days, weeks, or even months, all for a chance to win food and money during the Great Depression. Dance marathons pushed contestants to their physical and mental limits, turning a simple competition into a shocking spectacle of endurance and desperation.

SUBURBAKNIGHT: Act Two Walter Knope has finally discovered the one thing worse than suspecting your new neighbor is a sex demon. Being right. Inside Richard's immaculate house, Walter gets the confirmation he was looking for. The Maitlands are dead. Richard isn't human. And he isn't just interested in Samantha. He wants everything Walter has. Walter tries to warn Sam. It goes badly. What starts as an argument about Richard quickly becomes an argument about money, sex, failure, jealousy and every other thing a married couple has been politely not saying out loud. Sam packs a bag. Walter, terrified Richard will get to her, practically helps her leave. Written by Nick Bannister, SUBURBAKNIGHT is a wicked suburban horror-comedy about marriage, masculinity and what happens when your midlife crisis actually grows horns. Walter needs someone who understands monsters. Enter Bobby Joe Williams. Local horror host. Full-time drunk. Part-time monster expert. Possibly the least reassuring person you could want standing between your family and eternal damnation. Bobby Joe confirms the bad news. Richard is an incubus. He feeds on souls, controls his victims through desire and, unfortunately, appears to be immortal. Meanwhile, Richard has already started remaking the neighborhood. Walter goes looking for Andy and instead finds him dead in the bathtub, his wife Alli transformed into something considerably less neighborly. Walter barely escapes with his life. Then Samantha comes home. Richard is waiting. This time, Sam sees him too. When Richard finally drops the charm and shows them what he really is, he offers Walter everything he ever wanted. Money. Freedom. A fresh start. All he wants in return is Samantha. Walter says no. Then Mia introduces Richard's face to a medieval mace. For a moment, it feels like the Knopes may actually have this thing under control. Then Richard takes their daughter. Now Walter and Sam are done running. They need Mia back. They need help. Unfortunately, the closest thing they have to a professional is Bobby Joe Williams in boxer shorts drinking margarita straight from a blender pitcher. So they do what any responsible parents would do. They raid the failed antique business. Crossbow. Mace. Axe. Sword. Armor. Walter's junk has finally found a purpose. And across the street, Richard is waiting. Starring Darin Toonder, Jim O'Heir, Jade Tailor, Jack Daniel, Rob Fitzgerald, Logan Laurel, Emily Brolin, Ashley Platz, and Zeke Alton.

Some of my favorite conversations on this podcast are the ones where we stop trying to make non-monogamy look perfect and just talk about what it's actually like.This is absolutely one of those episodes.For this Rewind, I'm bringing back my conversation with sex educator Dirty Lola, and ohhhh, there is so much good stuff in this one.Lola takes us through her journey from experimenting with non-monogamy before she even had language for it, to marriage and monogamy, swinging, polyamory, divorce, and eventually building relationships that feel much more aligned with who she actually is.And we talk about the messy parts.Jealousy. Resentment. Agreements that don't work. Agreements people say yes to and then don't actually follow. Feeling unheard. Learning how to ask for what you need. Figuring out what information you actually want about your partner's other relationships.And, of course, compersion.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is how honest we both are about the idea that compersion is supposed to be this magical gold standard of successful polyamory.Sometimes Lola feels it.Sometimes I feel it.And sometimes neutral is fucking fantastic.Because healthy non-monogamy isn't about never feeling jealous or being delighted every time your partner falls in love with someone new. It's about knowing yourself well enough to recognize what's happening, communicate about it, create boundaries that actually support you, and take responsibility for what you do with your feelings.We also get into something I wish more people understood about agreements: don't say yes to something you don't actually agree to.A reluctant yes followed by broken agreements isn't healthier than having the uncomfortable conversation in the first place.Say no. Keep talking. Get curious about what each of you actually needs. Find the version that works for everyone involved.That's collaboration.In this episode, we talk about:Lola's journey from monogamy to swinging and polyamoryDiscovering non-monogamy before having language for itWhat happens when one partner identifies as polyamorous and the other doesn'tJealousy as information instead of something to eliminateRecognizing the unmet needs underneath jealousyRules, boundaries, agreements, and what happens when they're brokenWhy saying yes when you really mean no creates resentmentLearning how to disagree and collaborate instead of fightHow being heard can completely change conflictBreaking old relationship patterns in healthier relationshipsCompersion, jealousy, and why neutrality is a perfectly wonderful place to beKnowing how much you actually want to hear about your partner's other relationshipsWhy it's okay to want some moments to feel like they're just yoursThe very human reality of polyamoryWhy not every form of non-monogamy is polyamoryLola's simple, free practice for getting out of your own head before a difficult conversationThere is so much laughter in this conversation, but there's also a ton of wisdom about what it really takes to build relationships where you can be honest, messy, imperfect, and still deeply loving.If you're navigating jealousy, trying to figure out your boundaries, opening a relationship, or wondering why you don't feel that mythical nonstop compersion everyone keeps talking about, this episode is absolutely worth another listen.Because you don't have to be perfectly polyamorous.You just have to be willing to know yourself, tell the truth, communicate, and keep learning.Enjoy this Rewind with Dirty Lola.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Judson mourns the death and celebrates the life of his father-in-law. Inspired by one of his husband's hookups, Brian attempts a night of kink at home and stirs up much more drama than intended. The Hookup of the Week finds our listener arriving at the airport and running into his year-long Grindr crush, who then becomes quite the hands-on tour guide for the trip that follows. Brian and Judson are then joined by co-author of Dads and Daddies Book Club selection, Kink for Dummies, Jack Harrison-Quintana. Jack tells Brian and Judson how he first met and became close with his co-author Jaime M. Grant, and how the two came to write a book about kink for Wiley, publisher of the entire slate of For Dummies books. Jack shares his early kink origins on both personal and professional planes, he asks Judson about his history with kink and drugs, and discusses whether or not Brian's affinity for group and public sex makes him a kinkster. Jack also explores whether or not kinks can exist without personal shame or judgement of the community at large, how the tenets of the kink community should be guiding principles for all of humanity, how couples can communicate about uneven kink desires, how not all kinks appear sexual, removing shame from the need for erectile dysfunction medication, and so much more. Jack then helps Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener in a newly opened relationship who wants help finding sex parties, but also has concerns about safety and comfort with other attendees' behavior.

The Waiting Well - Infertility, Faith-based Encouragement, Trying to Conceive, Fertility
When it feels like everyone is getting pregnant except you, how do you handle the jealousy, grief, and comparison without pretending you're okay? In this episode, we're talking about how to process pregnancy announcements biblically, uncover what jealousy may be revealing about your heart, and choose faithfulness when infertility makes trusting God feel especially hard. NEXT WWF COHORT- begins after Labor Day - enroll now!! The Waiting Well Framework™ is an 8-week, Christ-centered discipleship experience for women navigating infertility who want to carry the wait with faith, peace, and purpose — not panic or despair.

This week on ShrinkChicks, we're talking all about jealousy. Where does it actually come from, and what do you do with it? Your hosts dive into jealousy at every angle; anxious attachment and reassurance-seeking, why checking a partner's ex's Instagram feeds the monster instead of starving it, and how to build real security instead of chasing a certainty that doesn't exist. Some people barely feel jealousy at all, and that gets explored too, including whether it might tie back to avoidant attachment.Listener questions cover picking fights over an ex, the fear of being "replaceable" with a partner's friends or coworkers, jealousy tied to fertility and IVF, and the sting of being treated differently than a sibling-in-law. There's a breakdown of Sue Johnson's A.R.E. framework for building security in a relationship, plus what to do when a parent's infidelity makes it hard to trust a partner who's never given a reason not to be trusted.
