Content Warning: grooming, domestic violence, physical violence, sexual violence, sexual abuse, childhood sexual abuse, and sex trafficking.Marina Lacerda is a survivor and mother from Brazil. In her youth, she immigrated to New York with her mother in hopes of forging a new life. Almost immediately, Marina would begin to face sexual and physical violence that normalized a long cycle of abuse. By the time she was 14, Marina would be introduced to Jeffrey Epstein, a man that seemed to symbolize success and wealth, but only added to her trauma. Eventually, Marina would play a part in both of the FBI's attempts at justice in 2008 and 2019, when during the latter, she would be dubbed, “Minor Victim 1.” Marina's journey is a testament to the impact of the cycle of abuse, but it also is a testament to her personal resilience and strength. The Broken Cycle Media team is incredibly honored she was willing to share her story with our audience, and continues to be transparent about her healing journey in the name of advocacy.Marina's Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/marinalacerdaforsurvivors/Sources:Chappell, Bill. “Jeffrey Epstein Files: Tracing the Legal Cases That Led to Sex-Trafficking Charges.” NPR, NPR, 25 July 2025, www.npr.org/2025/07/25/nx-s1-5478620/jeffrey-epstein-crimes-timeline-legal-caseDiaz, Jaclyn. “Jeffrey Epstein's Former Prosecutors Used ‘poor Judgment' in Deal, Doj Says.” NPR, NPR, 12 Nov. 2020, www.npr.org/2020/11/12/934265386/jeffrey-epsteins-former-prosecutors-used-poor-judgment-in-deal-doj-saysSardarizadeh, Shayan. “Details of Jeffrey Epstein Post-Mortem Released in Latest Files.” BBC News, BBC, 4 Feb. 2026, www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2y33q8l1qoSisak, Michael R., and David B.

This episode of Bible Talk walks through Isaiah 21, which features an enigmatic, yet grand prophecy on the coming judgment of Babylon. Watch as Alex, Jim, and Sam discuss.

In the past couple of weeks, two smart people looked at the same moment in AI and came away with opposite advice. Matt Shumer says wake up, this is urgent, denial is dangerous. Ann Handley says slow down, stop panicking, protect your judgment. I agree with both of them. And yet I think their arguments are incomplete. In this episode, I offer a third stance: value doesn't just vanish during disruption. It gets rebundled. Reorganized. Repackaged into new bundles of tasks, trust, judgment, and responsibility. And whoever understands that process early gets to position themselves on the right side of it. I steelman both arguments, push back on both, and then spend the bulk of the episode on what excites me most: the new paths opening up for writers and marketing professionals right now. And why this is all scary and very exciting at the same time! What You'll Learn Why Shumer is right about urgency and capability, and where his argument breaks down Why Handley is right about protecting your agency, and the uncomfortable question her advice raises What "value rebundling" means and why it matters more than any AI prediction Three rebundling patterns reshaping how work gets organized Why the career ladder is breaking and what replaces it Whether "slow down" is a luxury belief, and how runway changes which advice applies to you Three new business paths for writers and marketers (Micro-Agency of One, Productized Workflow, Operator-Teacher) Four additional micro business examples to expand your thinking Why anything you build from here may have a shorter shelf life, and why that's actually freeing Four practical plays you can run this week, including a 14-day micro-offer challenge Key Ideas and Takeaways 1. Both Sides Are Partly Right: Shumer is right about the engine. Handley is right about the road. AI capabilities can jump fast AND adoption can still be messy. These are different layers of the same reality. 2. Value Gets Rebundled: Jobs are bundles of tasks, responsibility, trust, and context. AI lowers the cost of tasks. Organizations redesign the bundle. The question isn't "Will my job disappear?" It's "What will my work be repackaged into?" If you do nothing, someone else rebundles you. 3. Three Rebundling Patterns: The Orchestrator: human value shifts to scoping outcomes, setting standards, making tradeoffs, and integrating outputs. This is product thinking, not prompting. The Judgment Premium: when speed is cheap, the bottleneck moves to accuracy, brand risk, accountability, and trust. Judgment becomes more valuable where stakes are high. The Adaptive Builder: durable edge goes to people who experiment fast, chain tools into workflows, ship, measure, and rebuild when the tools change. 4. Runway Changes Everything: Your financial position determines which advice even applies to you. If your runway is short, your first goal should be financial runway. Reduce burn, increase reliable income, create a second stream. Runway gives you options. Options give you agency. 5. New Paths Beyond Your Current Job Frame: AI collapsed the cost of building. You can rebundle value outside companies, on your own terms. 6. Shorter Shelf Lives Are the New Normal: Anything you build from now on will likely have a shorter lifespan than you're used to. That's okay. The durable skill is getting good at building, shipping, learning, and rebuilding. That cycle is the skill. 7. Speed Without Panic, Intention Without Paralysis: No denial. No doom. No thrash. Choose one lane, build one proof asset, ship one offer. The future belongs to finishers. Action Steps Push AI into your hardest, most time-consuming work. One hour a day, one workflow per week. Identify what compounds in your work (judgment, taste, relationships) and protect it. Automate what doesn't. Map your work on the stakes/trust 2x2 grid. Migrate toward high-stakes, high-trust work. Launch one fixed-scope micro-offer in 14 days. Build proof. Ship. Iterate.

Proverbs 25 teaches a powerful mindset shift through daily faith, praise, and small consistent actions — revealing how spiritual discipline and intentional gratitude create an unfair advantage in life, leadership, and personal growth. In this faith-based motivational podcast episode recorded in Southern California, we explore how praise, biblical wisdom, and “Inchstones” — small daily actions — compound into life-changing milestones.Today's episode dives deep into Proverbs 25 and the idea that transformation doesn't happen through massive moments but through consistent, faithful steps taken every single day. These Inchstones — small actionable choices — eventually become the milestones that define our lives.Growing up, my mama always said: “God is in the midst of the praise of His people — praise Him in all things.”At the time, I didn't realize this was a cheat code for life.Praise becomes an unfair advantage.When you focus on praise:You remove space for negativity.Pride and ego lose their grip.Judgment fades.Gratitude replaces comparison.Opposition loses power.Your words begin to speak life into others.Proverbs 25 reminds us that distractions, pride, and misplaced focus can quietly steal our peace. But praise centers us. It strengthens patience. It builds favor. It creates contentment. And even intense heat — life's hardest seasons — becomes purification instead of destruction.

Presented by Julie Busteed We've been looking at some of the proverbs Jesus said. Here's another proverb from his Sermon on the Mount. Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you (Matthew 7:1–2). Those words make me pause every time. I find it easy to assume I'm not a judgmental person. But when I slow down and examine my thoughts—the quiet commentary running through my mind, the subtle remarks I may make—I realize I'm not as innocent as I'd like to think. And that's when confession and repentance become necessary. Jesus isn't telling us to abandon discernment. We are called to think wisely and evaluate situations carefully. There's a difference between discernment and judgment. Discernment seeks truth. Judgment often seeks to elevate self. You and I are not to judge others to build ourselves up. Every one of us has areas to grow. Every one of us has blind spots. Jesus continues with a vivid picture: Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye (Matthew 7:3–5). It's such a striking image—a tiny speck versus a massive plank. And yet, how often do I focus on the speck? For me, it's usually the small, internal judgments—the quiet criticisms that serve no real purpose. They don't help the other person. They don't help me. In fact, they only create unnecessary stress and tension in my own heart. Why am I so concerned about someone else's issue, especially when I may struggle with something similar? Perhaps that's exactly why I notice it so quickly. Sometimes what irritates us most in others reveals something God wants to address in us. Jesus' words invite humility. Before I point out someone else's flaw, I need to allow the Lord to search my own heart. Remove the plank. Do the work of repentance. Ask him to soften my spirit. Pray as King David prayed: Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting (Psalm 139: 23-24).

What does it mean to be a Lutheran?  The Lutheran Reformation was founded on the “Three Solas” (Latin for “alone”) “Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Scripture Alone”.   In 1517, Martin Luther's 95 Theses were headed in that direction.  His 1529 Small Catechism condenses those biblical truths into a text book for instruction.  In 1521, he was called to Worms and told to “sit down and shut up” by withdrawing all his writings and declaring them to be false.  Luther stood up instead and kept proclaiming the truth.  By 1530, it was time to set the record straight - against false accusations hurled against them and confusion that was spread as to what Lutherans believed.  So the process began to draft the Augsburg Confession. It was a clear and concise summary of the teachings of Scripture, a bold declaration of what the Scriptures say and what they do not.  It was a statement of biblical truth and a refutation of unbiblical error.  It was a demonstration that the Lutheran faith is the Christian faith and the orthodox teachings that the church has held too since the time of Christ.   So on June 25, 1530, the Augsburg Confession was boldly, confidently and loudly read.  Charles V and anyone else within earshot heard a systematic presentation of the Bible's truth.  They heard an incredible answer to the question "What does it mean to be a Lutheran?”  All who read its 28 articles today hear that answer as well.     What a blessing to generations of Lutheran Christians those men and their courage, conviction, and confession have been! June 25, 1530 was truly a turning point in the life of the Lutheran Church.  Blessings have been coming our way as a result ever since.  And now as you join in our discussion, those blessings are sure to come your way as well! The Augsburg Confession is included in the Book of Concord.  You can find a free version online here.  Grab your printed copy off the shelf or get your own copy here. If you have any questions about this series or our Most Certainly True Podcast, please reach out to Pastor Hackmann at bhackmann@gracedowntown.org.  If you'd like to learn more about Grace Lutheran Church, check out our website www.gracedowntown.org.  

Ryan Pitterson is back in the building after 200-plus episodes away, and he came with a bombshell. His third book, The Earth Before Adam, completes the trilogy that began with Judgment of the Nephilim and The Final Nephilim, and it takes us all the way back before the story we thought was the beginning. Ryan lays out the biblical case for the gap theory, arguing that between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 lies the entire history of Lucifer's angelic kingdom on earth, its corruption, and its catastrophic judgment. Using the original Hebrew, the Septuagint, the Targums, Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14, Jeremiah 4, and 2 Peter 3, he builds a detailed picture of a pre-Adamic world that was beautiful, inhabited, and ultimately destroyed by what he calls the first great tribulation.The conversation then rockets forward through the scroll of time as Ryan connects the dots between the ancient rebellion and the end times. He reveals the parallels between Absalom and Lucifer, unpacks how the Tower of Babel was an attempt to unlock a supernatural power through human unification, and explains how the Antichrist's global system is Satan's third and final attempt to harness that same power through AI, neural technology, and the Mark of the Beast. Along the way, the guys dig into pre-Adamic humanoids, dinosaurs, the cosmic trial playing out in the heavenly courtroom, and why this understanding of deep biblical history is so important. The end is the beginning, and the beginning is the end.

In Part 108 of The Story of Creation on the Authentic Human Podcast, Michelle Vickers shares a real-time conversation with Universal Beings — including direct communication with The Creator — exploring Consciousness, Free Will, and the true origins of human existence. This is not channeling. This is conscious conversation with universal intelligence. In this episode, we explore: • What consciousness actually is (the living history of existence) • Why free will requires exploration • How every human has full access to universal consciousness • Why access to truth was removed • The real reason humanity feels exhausted • How challenges expand your capacity and contribute to consciousness • Why judgment is not a universal energy • How healing begins in energy before the physical body • Why you are here to create a new world — not fix the old one The Creator explains that free will means you have access to every aspect of creation — every planet, every star, every dimension of universal existence. The Secret of Existence & Creation: > Intention becomes Energy. > Energy becomes Experience. >Experience expands consciousness. You are not here to wait to be saved. You are here to explore your potential and participate in the recreation of human existence. Every challenge you've faced has trained you for this role. Every experience has expanded the universal library of consciousness. If you have ever asked: Why do I exist? Why am I here now? Why do I feel called to something bigger? This episode answers that. New episodes weekly exploring universal consciousness, human origins, free will, energy architecture, and the evolution of existence.

Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Savia Rocks opens season seven of the Us People Podcast with reflections on legacy, peeling away cultural conditioning and trauma, listening, and making choices that serve what matters. She interviews  Nuttha Goutier co-founder and CEO of Sabai Thai Spa, who shares growing up in a small village in Thailand with no running water or electricity where community support, joy in hard work, and living in the moment shaped her values. Nuttha describes immigrating to Canada over 25 years ago, overcoming setbacks, doubt, depression, and personal losses by acknowledging the past, letting go, and focusing on present choices, defining herself by resilience. She explains her purpose for building spas as creating a welcoming, belonging “home” experience, promoting self-care as a routine, supporting local communities, and planting a tree for every massage, with success defined by people's happiness and community impact. She outlines her daily routine (early wake-up, meditation, exercise, preparing four kids for school, and choosing gratitude), discusses wellness as preventive care for mind, body, and spirit, and argues that caring for yourself leads to kindness toward others.  Nuttha Goutier speaks about avoiding judgment through respect and acceptance, concerns about technology's impact on younger generations, and suggests more nature, meditation, and yoga in schools. 00:00 Welcome to Yes People Podcast01:24 Meet  Nuttha Goutier02:23 Growing Up in Thailand03:22 Finding Joy in Hard Work05:14 Life as a Journey05:44 Building Through Belief06:31 Self Care and Balance07:15 Looking in the Mirror08:23 Overcoming Life's Challenges10:53 The Power of Resilience11:26 Dealing with Trauma12:37 Letting Go of the Past13:53 Finding Your Purpose15:15 Creating Meaningful Impact17:12 Why Start a Spa Business17:37 Everyone Has a Gift18:14 Defining Success19:36 The Sabai Spa Experience21:12 A Day in the Life22:43 Morning Routine and Mindset23:18 Choosing Your Emotions24:32 Embracing Imperfection25:46 Understanding Wellness and Wellbeing26:45 Wellbeing and Self Care27:23 Preventative Health Philosophy28:16 Body as Vehicle30:05 Judgment and Respect32:05 Technology and Modern Generation34:55 Life Lessons and Quotes36:00 Carrying with Your Heart37:40 Three Ps of Success38:32 Best Advice from Dad39:58 Choices Equal Results41:31 Living Each Day Fully43:03 Forest Meditation Practice44:20 Meditation Journey and Growth45:36 Mental Health and Awareness46:48 Connect and Find Out More47:57 Final Words and GratitudeWebsite: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nutthagoutier/Website: https://www.instagram.com/nutthagoutier/Website: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573378331497&ref=pro_upsell_xav_ig_profile_page_web#Website: https://sabaithai.com/Thank you so much Nuttha Goutier for reminding us that the beauty of kindly has always lied within us - Savia RocksSupport the show

Did the cross remove all judgment — or is there still something ahead for believers? In this episode, we unpack what it means that Christ bore our punishment and what Scripture teaches about the judgment seat of Christ. Clear answers. Gospel assurance. No fear-driven confusion.

The New Testament tells us we are saved by faith, and judged on works. How do we make sense of that tension?

Psalms 1 & 2 E1 — The Psalms scroll—Israel's ancient hymn book—has deeply shaped the worship and prayers of millions of people over several millennia. The first two psalms work together as a unified introduction to the whole collection. Psalm 1 starts with the phrase “How good is life for the man who…” or in most English translations, “Blessed is the man who…” We then find a list of activities to avoid and an instruction to practice daily Scripture meditation. So how does this way of living lead to “the good life”? And what happens to those who follow it—and to those who don't? In this episode, Jon and Tim start a short series in Psalms 1 and 2 by first meditating on Psalm 1.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, biblical words, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSThe Path of Tragedy (0:00-21:35)Becoming Like a Tree (21:35-40:40)Standing in the Judgment (40:40-1:06:14)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary by Robert AlterCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Growing Season” by Gas Lab & Guillaume Muschalle“New Dae” by El Train & G MillsBibleProject theme song by TENTS SHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

In this episode, Mike and Tim ask a provocative question: Is "Christ is King" becoming blasphemy? They begin by analyzing recent political rhetoric, specifically a speech by Pete Hegseth, to discuss how biblical language can be hijacked for coercive power rather than reflecting the character of Jesus. The hosts argue that proclaiming theological truths while living in opposition to the way of Jesus is a distortion of "faith and politics." The conversation then shifts to a deep exploration of the Lord's Prayer and the petition, "Your Kingdom come." Mike and Tim unpack the concept of the "anti-kingdom," explaining that Jesus preached the Kingdom of God in enemy-occupied territory. They explore "theology" regarding the "powers and principalities," looking at the Divine Council in the Psalms, the "heavenly host" in Genesis, and how the biblical authors understood the spiritual forces behind structural evil and injustice. This isn't just about ancient myths; it is about understanding "the role of the church in society" when facing systemic corruption. By contrasting the "cruciformity" of the Gospel with the power dynamics of empire, the guys offer a framework for "navigating cultural challenges" with wisdom. They highlight that true "Christianity" recognizes the spiritual battle at play—not just in individuals, but in cultural patterns and ideologies. As the hosts discuss the "seen and unseen" realms, they emphasize the importance of prayer and "justice" in a world that is both beautiful and broken. We encourage and would love discussion as we pursue these complex topics, so please engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.

They look so beautifully abandoned, even in use. You say they look like arks after the sea's dried up, I say they look like pirate ships, and I think of that walk in the valley where J said, You don't believe in God? And I said, No. I believe in this connection we all have to nature, to each other, to the universe. And she said, Yeah, God. And how we stood there, low beasts among the white oaks, Spanish moss, and spider webs, obsidian shards stuck in our pockets, woodpecker flurry, and I refused to call it so. So instead, we looked up at the unruly sky, its clouds in simple animal shapes we could name though we knew they were really just clouds— disorderly, and marvelous, and ours.   Copyright Credit: Poem copyright ©2012 by Ada Limón, whose most recent book of poems is Sharks in the Rivers, Milkweed Editions, 2010.

Training Therapists in the Age of AI: Preventing Deskilling and Teaching Clinical Judgment As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in mental health care, therapists, supervisors, and educators face a critical responsibility: integrating AI tools without eroding clinical judgment, reasoning, and skill development. In this continuing education episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy examine how AI can create the illusion of competence while quietly undermining the processes therapists rely on to learn how to think clinically. They explore therapist deskilling as a systemic issue shaped by training models, supervision practices, and productivity pressures rather than individual failure.

Send us a text by clicking this link!Judgment that looks like mercy, a Shepherd who refuses to lose a single sheep, and the honest truth about what happens to our good habits after Easter—this conversation brings Scripture and daily life into the same room. We open with Ezekiel 34's promise that God Himself will seek, gather, and feed His people, then let Matthew 25 confront us with a standard that is both simple and searching: feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, visit the sick and imprisoned. If love is real, it takes a shape; if faith is alive, it meets a face.We talk candidly about conversion as a daily reorientation rather than a one-time burst of zeal. Drawing on classic spiritual wisdom, we explore why aiming high matters—“no limits” not in noise or burnout, but in a steady refusal to settle. Sanctity grows where grace meets generous cooperation. That looks like motives purified by prayer, small promises kept on dull days, and a weekly work of mercy that grounds piety in service. The judgment scene stops being a threat and becomes a map for a life that recognizes Christ in the least.Then we address the cycle many of us know too well: Lent focuses us, Easter delights us, and within weeks we drift. The goal is not to maintain Lenten intensity forever, but to keep conversion continuous and real.If you're longing for a Lent that doesn't evaporate when the alleluias return, this one's for you. Listen, take a note or two, and choose one habit to carry into the bright weeks ahead. If it helps, share this with a friend and make your rule together.

On today's Podcast, we share a word we just received that is a very serious release by the Lord for judgment in the earth.  The Lord is releasing Battle Axes for this judgment and is seeking intercessors to join with Him.  

The Tennessee Volunteers face a seismic shift as a judge rules against Joey Aguilar, leaving the quarterback spot wide open. Can true freshman Faizon Brandon rise to the challenge and ignite the Vols' offense despite his youth? Recruiting analyst Brian Smith breaks down why Brandon's elite processing ability, athleticism, and adaptability make him a leading contender—posing the question: Is the future now for Rocky Top under Josh Heupel's simplified scheme? Key topics include the Vols' revamped expectations, the impact of Jim Knowles joining as defensive coordinator, and how stars like Braylon Staley and Mike Matthews anchor a veteran lineup. The schedule's turning points—from marquee SEC clashes with Texas, Alabama, at Texas A&M, and LSU—are analyzed, along with how Tennessee's NIL landscape and portal strategy shape their outlook. Will the Volunteers prove doubters wrong and compete for the SEC crown, or is 2024 a building year with even bigger things ahead?

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/022326.cfmFather Chris  Alar, MIC reminds us that works do not earn salvation; only God's grace saves (CCC, 1987). Yet the Church teaches that we must co‑operate with that grace. As Fr. Chris explains, each soul faces a particular judgment at death, meeting Christ in His human nature, and later a general judgment when Christ returns to judge all humanity (see Jn 5:22‑23). The Scriptures picture this final assembly in the “valley of Jehoshaphat,” drawn from Joel 3:2, where angels separate the good from the bad.Father Chris contrasts David's flight from Jerusalem with Jesus' deliberate return to be judged, showing that avoidance leads to condemnation while Christ embraces the sacrifice for our redemption. He cites the familiar parable of the wheat and the weeds (Mt 13:24‑30) and the separation of sheep from goats (Mt 25:31‑46) to illustrate the ultimate sorting of souls.A central point is the necessity of Confession. Unconfessed sins are exposed at judgment, whereas confessed sins are sealed (CCC 1451). Father Chris stresses that God's justice is always tempered by mercy: “The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy” (Diary of Saint Faustina Kowalska, 723). This mercy flows through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose prayers unite with ours and draw us toward the divine will (CCC 2675).Father Chris also addresses contemporary objections that “Jesus did it all, so there is no hell.” He refutes this by affirming human free will: God's love respects our freedom, and those who freely reject Him choose separation, which is the reality of hell (CCC 1037). As C.S. Lewis observed, “The gates of hell are locked from the inside,” underscoring that the choice belongs to the soul. ★ Support this podcast ★

Genesis – Session 6 | Sin, Judgment, and God's Mercy That Still Redeems In this session from Genesis chapters 9–10, we confront some of Scripture's most challenging material while discovering God's holiness, humanity's ongoing struggle with sin, and the powerful truth that redemption remains available to all who call on Him. The message begins with Noah after the flood, revealing that even righteous people are still capable of failure. Noah's drunkenness leads to a grave family sin involving Ham and the uncovering of nakedness — a moment that Scripture connects to later biblical warnings about sexual immorality and dishonor. Rather than hiding humanity's flaws, the Bible openly exposes the consequences of sin and the generational impact it can have. To better understand this moment, the teaching turns to Leviticus 18, where God lays out clear boundaries regarding sexual purity and obedience. These laws are shown not as arbitrary rules, but as protection against the destructive practices already corrupting the surrounding nations. The sermon emphasizes that when cultures reject God's standards, immorality spreads rapidly and ultimately brings judgment. From this account flows Noah's prophetic declaration over his sons. Canaan, descending from Ham, falls under a curse, while Shem and Japheth receive blessing. These words shape future nations and people groups, demonstrating how personal actions can affect generations to come — both negatively and positively. Yet even in this heavy passage, the message repeatedly returns to God's grace. No matter one's lineage, background, or depth of failure, God remains willing to meet people where they are. Salvation is never about race, history, or family lines — it is about a personal response to God's mercy. The sermon closes with a powerful testimony illustrating Christ's ability to reach into the darkest places of sin and bring complete restoration. Just as God gave humanity a second beginning after the flood, He continues to offer new life to anyone who turns to Him in repentance and faith. Key Takeaway God is holy and does not ignore sin, yet His mercy is greater than human failure. Though sin carries consequences, redemption is always available to those who surrender their lives to Him.

Preacher: Pastor Mark Redfern | Series: The Obedience of Faith

"Trumpeting God's Horrific Judgment" (Revelation 9:1-21)

“Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:12-14 CSBJesus is speaking to his disciples after the Passover Feast - the last supper - and he's telling them he's leaving but they can't follow him yet. Thomas says, “We don't know where you are going? How can we know the way?” John 14:5Jesus, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. If you know me, you will also know my father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:6Jesus, “The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who lives in me does His works. Believe me that I am in the father and the father is in me. Otherwise, believe because of the works themselves.” John 14:10-11“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”Philippians 2:5-8(ESV)All that Jesus did, God did through him. Jesus is telling us that we have access to the Father through Him, and in Him we can do greater works than even Jesus did. Do you feel qualified? God Qualifies the Called“God does not call the qualified. He qualifies the called.” Mark Batterson, The Circle Maker: Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest FearsWe see this throughout scripture. Here are just a few examples: Joseph - A despised younger brother sold into slavery then imprisoned. Genesis 37, 39 God helps him interpret dreams - saves his family and Egypt from a famine. Gen. 39, 41Moses - Not eloquent, slow of speech and tongue - killed someone Exodus 4:10-12 2:1-12 God calls him to lead the people out of Egypt. Exodus 3:10-12David - A shepherd boy and the youngest son. 1 Samuel 16:11 God gives him strength and courage to kill a giant - becomes King 1 Samuel 17:45-47The First Disciples - Fishermen, a tax collector, other unspecified jobs - Matt. 3:18-21 Jesus calls them to be fishers of men. Matthew 4:19 Jesus commissions them to make disciples of all nations. Matt. 28:16-20 Jesus sends them to preach, to have authority to cast out demons. Mark 3:14-15Saul/Paul - Persecuted early Christians and tried to destroy the church Gal. 1:13 Preaches that Jesus is the Son of God and spreads the gospel to gentiles Acts 9:20 Romans 3:23 NIV “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God Qualified Peter to do the Miraculous Fisherman turned disciple - Matt. 4:18-20Walked on water - Matt. 14:28-31Renamed Peter (Rock) from Simon - John 1:42 Matt. 16:18Confesses Jesus is the Messiah - Matt. 16:18Rebuked Jesus and was corrected - Matt. 16:21-23 Saw Jesus Transfigured - Matt. 17:1-5Cut off the servant's ear - John 18:10Denied knowing Jesus 3 times - Matt. 26:69–75, Mark 14:66–72, Luke 22:55–62, and John 18:15-27Restored by Jesus (Feed my sheep) - John 21:15-19-------------------------------- Preached at Pentecost- first sermon - 3,000 people come to believe - Acts 2 Healed a lame man - Acts 3:1-10Preached in Solomon's Colonnade - second sermon - 5,000 believe - Acts 3:11- Acts 4:4Arrested and testified about Jesus before the Sanhedrin - Acts 4:1-22 Judgment resulting in death of Ananias and Sapphira - Acts 5:1-10Healed the sick and those with “unclean spirits” - Acts 5:12-16Arrested, put on trial and flogged - Acts 5:17-42Healed a paralyzed man, Aeneas - Acts 9:32-35Raised Tabitha (Dorcas) from the dead - Acts 9:36-43Received a vision, then defended the gospel being for Gentiles too- Acts 10 - Acts 11:18 Imprisoned again then rescued by an angel - Acts 12:1-18 Writes 1 & 2 Peter Crucified around 66 yrs. OldNotes From Time Before Jesus Ascended: During his time as a disciple of Jesus, Peter saw many miracles and experienced some directly - walking on water - coin in the fish's mouth - mother-in-law healed. Disciples were given authority to heal and cast out demons. Matt. 10, Luke 9Reasonable to think Peter had done miracles while Jesus was alive too. The specific miracles Peter does begin in Acts, after the resurrection and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Notes About Peter's Specific Miracles First sermon: after the Holy Spirit descended upon them and they started speaking in different tongues. Some sneered and tried to say they were drunk. Peter spoke up and and rebuke them and gave his first sermon. Takes a lot to speak in front of a large group. Jerry Sinfield joke: people would rather be the one in the coffin than giving the eulogy. 3,000 people were baptized after his message! Healed a lame man: A man who couldn't walk since birth was carried to the temple so he could beg as people came by. Peter and John walked by and he asked them for money. Peter said, “I don't have silver or gold but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk! Then, taking him by the right hand he raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles became strong.” Acts 3:6-7 Peter was doing as Jesus did! BY FAITH: Acts 3:16 Peter tells the people, “By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong…” Judgment resulting in death of Ananias and Sapphira: Acts 5:1-10Ananias and his wife Sapphira sold some property but decided to keep some for themselves. Shows Peter had supernatural knowledge of the actual amount Ananias and Sapphira sold their property for. When Ananias came in and lied to the Holy Spirit he died. After Sapphira came in and lied about the amount too, Peter prophesied she would die too. Healed the sick and those with “unclean spirits”: Acts 5:12-16Many signs and wonders were being done among the people through the hands of the apostles. They were all together in Solomon's Colonnade. 13 No one else dared to join them, but the people spoke well of them. 14 Believers were added to the Lord in increasing numbers—multitudes of both men and women. 15 As a result, they would carry the sick out into the streets and lay them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on some of them. 16 In addition, a multitude came together from the towns surrounding Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.Healing Aeneas a paralyzed and bedridden man of 8 years.Acts 9:34 “Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed, and immediately he got up.” Raised Tabitha (Dorcas) from the dead! Dorcas was a disciple - a follower of Jesus She became sick and diedTwo other disciples went and got Peter who was in a nearby town.He sent everyone out of the room. He knelt, prayed and told her to get up! Peter went from being a fisherman to a fisher of men! Jesus called Peter and Peter followed him until the day Peter died around 66 years old. God Calls Us to Follow Him And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19 "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" Luke 9:23, Matthew 16:24 "Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" John 8:12 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" John 10:27 "If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also" John 12:26 Notes: Peter started off as a fisherman. He was called to follow Jesus and he did.Through walking and talking with Jesus and watching and listening, Peter learned who Jesus was. After 3 years, it didn't stop him from making mistakes. Called out many times He kept believing and learning and growing. He kept followingAfter Jesus ascended into Heaven and the disciples were in the upper room, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and then Peter started to lead.Do as Jesus did! Matthew 28:19-20 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember I am with you always to the end of the age.” We've been commissioned to go out into the world to do miraculous things. Leading people into the fullness of forgiveness and redemption and who they are called to be in Christ is no less than miraculous! Jesus dying, defeating death, and redeeming us from our sins is a miracle! The fullness of that miracle won't fully be realized until we die but there is nothing more miraculous than being made clean and living with our creator. God Equips Us With different gifts Romans 12:6-8 Prophesying, Serving, Teaching, Encouraging, Giving, Leading, Showing Mercy“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully”Through the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 12:7-11A message of wisdom, a message of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, miraculous powers, prophecy, distinguishing between spirits, speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues“Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.”Through the grace given to us through Jesus 2 Timothy 1:9-10“…not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace….”“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”With qualities that keep us from being unfruitful 2 Peter 1:3-8 Faith, Goodness, Self-Control, Endurance, Godliness, Brotherly Affection, Love“His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 By these he has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them you may share in the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, 6 knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness, 7 godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”John 15:1-8 Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. Those who remain in him will produce much fruit, because we can do nothing without him. Romans 8:11 “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through his Spirit who lives in you.”If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you - (Romans 8:11) then you don't have to do this in your own strength. You have the strength of God with you. No matter how strong you are on your own, you are not strong enough without the power of God living inside you. He's given us everything we need to live for Him! God is calling you to follow Him! As you step out in faith and obedience, he equips you with what you need and qualifies you for what he calls you to do. Acts 4:13 NIV - When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

This Sunday, we step into one of the most intense chapters in the book of Acts.James is executed.Peter is imprisoned.Herod exalts himself like a god.And yet — Jesus is not threatened. He is reigning.Acts 12 smells like the battlefield. But what we discover is this: when you stand against Jesus, you lose — and when you belong to Jesus, you triumph, even through suffering.This chapter reminds us of two massive truths:• Nothing can stop Jesus' kingdom from advancing.• Gospel advancement doesn't come without significant cost.We will see both warning and hope. Judgment and rescue. Execution and deliverance. And above it all — a triumphant King.If you are exploring Christianity, or know those who are, this text lovingly but clearly presses a question onto your heart: What will you do with King Jesus?And for those who belong to Christ, this passage steadies us in a world that is increasingly uncomfortable with bold faith.⸻

Will there be cavemen in the future? Can you imagine a time when people will enter caves to escape the judgment of God? Dr. John Whitcomb described this scene from Isaiah 2, and we replay that classic message on this week's edition of "Encounter God's Truth." We are in the midst of a three-week overview of Bible prophecy, and today's message is one that we desperately need to hear. After the message, host Wayne Shepherd asked Dr. Whitcomb to advise listeners who might be wondering how to prepare for this coming time of tribulation. Thanks for listening to this important prophetic message from "Encounter God's Truth," where we believe and teach that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end! We hope that you will share what you have learned with a friend.

The Neutral Mind is the part of the mind that can pause, see clearly, and choose truth without judgment.When it isn't leading, judgment gets loud, toward others and toward yourself, and even simple decisions can feel impossible.In this episode of the Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast, I explain how generational trauma healing happens by training the Neutral Mind through Kundalini Yoga and the teachings of Jesus in A Course in Miracles.You'll learn what's happening in the brain, mind, and nervous system when reactivity takes over and how specific breathing sequences, mantras, and meditations restore the Neutral Mind so you can access wisdom and knowledge instead of living trapped in “good vs bad” thinking.In this episode we cover:✨ Why unhealed trauma turns the mind into a judge (good/bad, safe/unsafe)✨ What the Neutral Mind is: clear seeing without judgment or absorbing other people's energy✨ How nervous system stress makes you merge with other people's emotions and lose your own truth✨ The vagus nerve: the “safety signal” nerve that slows your heart and breath so you can stay present and not get pulled into someone else's field✨ ACIM + Neutral Mind: perception is duality, knowledge is certainty — Neutral Mind is what makes you ready to remember knowledge✨ One Kundalini Yoga Neutral Mind meditation to exit the good/bad loop fastYou are allowed to embody sovereignty — for seven generations before you and seven generations after you.Join the Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary — a sanctuary for the soul for first-time generational cycle breakers rebuilding their inner sanctuary and reclaiming sovereignty for seven generations before and seven generations after.Click Here: https://subscribepage.io/jnkwzV Click Here toJoin us in our Free Private Facebook Group Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sovereignsisterhoodmovement Join me on TikTok and Instagram : @veronicabarraganiam

When the two angels arrive in Sodom, Lot receives them with Christian welcome. Lot's hospitality stands in stark contrast to the evil intentions of the men of Sodom. Whatever Lot's intentions were in offering his daughters to the men, he was only adding evil to evil. The angels quickly intervene before the situation devolves further, striking the men of Sodom blind. When the angels urge Lot and his family to leave the city quickly, Lot warns his sons-in-law, but they only scoff. This account warns us against falling into the same wickedness found in Sodom and urges us to heed the warning of God's Law before the Day of Judgment comes.  Rev. James Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ottumwa, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Genesis 19:1-14.  To learn more about Trinity in Ottumwa, visit trinitylutheranottumwa.com. “In the Beginning” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies Genesis. The first book of Moses sets the stage for God's entire story of salvation. As we learn the beginning of the story, God prepares us to receive the fulfillment of the story: Jesus Christ, the Offspring of the woman who has crushed our enemy's head.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners.

We explore why 95% of AI projects fail, why executives don't want more tools — they want their life back — and how the real competitive edge isn't automation, but judgment at speed.If you've been overwhelmed by the explosion of AI tools or unsure where to start, this episode will help you reframe the conversation. This isn't about doing more. It's about deciding better — faster, with clarity and confidence — by combining human instinct with machine intelligence.Key TakeawaysAI Used Only for Productivity Fails: When AI is treated as a cost-cutting tool instead of a transformation system, it rarely creates lasting value.Presence Is the Real Advantage: The goal isn't more output. It's showing up calmer, clearer, and better prepared — so decisions improve.Decision Velocity + Decision Advantage Wins: Make decisions faster and with better information. Speed without clarity is noise. Clarity without speed is stagnation.The Future Belongs to Human + Machine Judgment: Executives who combine instinct with machine intelligence will outperform those relying on either alone.Additional InsightsExecutives Don't Want More Tools — They Want Their Life Back: Leaders aren't overwhelmed by lack of tools. They're overwhelmed by fragmented workflows, constant context switching, and decision fatigue. AI must reduce cognitive load, not add to it.Presence Drives Performance: When AI handles capture and synthesis, leaders show up calmer, more prepared, and more focused. Productivity improves — but performance and clarity are the real unlock.The Identity Threat of AI: Many executives privately fear incompetence. They don't want to look behind or uninformed. That hesitation often shows up as skepticism or avoidance.Decision Velocity Is the New Differentiator: Artificial organizations move faster because they reduce decision latency. Meetings become focused. Context is pre-loaded. Choices are made with confidence.Traits + Tasks + Tools (T3 Model): Start with how you naturally work best. Then amplify your highest-leverage tasks with the right tools.Capture, Transcribe, Synthesize, Act: A simple workflow that turns every conversation into a reusable data asset. This loop compounds judgment and accelerates learning over time.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode RecapBarry explains why AI used purely for productivity fails — and why the real advantage comes from transforming how leaders make decisions.02:58 – Guest Introduction: Sham ColegadoBarry welcomes Sham Colegado, a key member of the Artificial Organizations team, who interviews Barry about the book and its core ideas.03:32 – “Executives Don't Want More AI Tools”Barry shares the personal burnout moment that sparked a shift from productivity chasing to rethinking how he works.06:02 – AI's Real Promise: Presence Over ProductivityWhy performance and clarity matter more than output — and how AI can make leaders calmer and more focused.09:30 – The Identity Threat of AIExecutives reveal a hidden fear of incompetence and why one-on-one learning environments matter.12:26 – Decision Velocity & Decision AdvantageThe two engines of artificial organizations and how reducing decision latency compounds competitive advantage.15:15 – The Traits, Tasks, Tools FlywheelHow aligning natural strengths with high-leverage work determines which AI tools actually create impact.19:01 – What the Best AI...

Episode 90 and still zero personal growth. Dumbline is in a quiet suburban shopping center, the kind of place built on routine, trust, and the assumption that nothing truly extreme happens in broad daylight. In this episode, we follow a trail of resentment, preparation, and misplaced certainty that slowly turns into something far more intentional and far more explosive. A lot of thinking, a lot of planning, and somehow it still lands in completely dumb territory. Just a reminder that you can map something out from every angle and it can still be a terrible idea. Sometimes the more effort that goes into a bad idea, the worse it actually gets. We're still working on going live and putting full video episodes on YouTube, so we're still ironing out a few kinks. If the audio's a little off, that's on us, and thanks for sticking with us while we get it dialed in. Be sure to listen to the end of the episode for everyone's favorite segment, Get to Know Maria.

As headlines warn that artificial intelligence could upend jobs, industries, and even human identity, Jase, Al, and Zach take a sober look at why the AI age feels so apocalyptic. From stock market panic to viral deepfakes and doomsday predictions, the guys acknowledge that massive cultural shifts are coming. But instead of giving in to a tailspin of fear, they pivot to Revelation and the steady promise that no technological revolution can dethrone Jesus. In a world drowning in information but starving for meaning, communion, love, and knowing Christ are the only answers that outlast every empire, every innovation, and every so-called “end of the world.” In this episode: Revelation 1, verse 1; Revelation 1, verses 4–8; Revelation 3, verse 3; Revelation 22, verses 7, 17, 20; Daniel 7; Ephesians 3, verse 10; 1 Thessalonians 4, verses 16–17; 2 Thessalonians 1; John 14 “Unashamed” Episode 1270 is sponsored by: https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Are you exhausted from trying to look perfect and polished? I'm diving deep into the chokehold of performance and anxiety that keeps so many of us trapped. I'm calling out the Pharisee Complex—the dangerous lie that says excellence equals worthiness. It's time to trade in that prison of perfection for the radical freedom found in grace. I'm giving you the keys today, including three practical, one-thing-only steps to embrace wholeness over flawlessness.  Key Takeaways for a Quick Win God desires wholeness (telios), not flawlessness. Stop striving to be perfect; start pursuing maturity and completeness. Perfectionism is a prison that limits our freedom; it's not a personality type, it's often a protection mechanism. Radical Repentance is the shift from a life of damage control to a life dependent on God's grace. Family, I love you and I'm cheering for you to walk in this new freedom. Don't keep this key to yourself! If this episode broke a chain in your life, you know someone else who needs to hear it.
