It's funny how pieces of our stories get set down, lost, discovered, or picked up again.  Some pieces we hide away, hoping never to look at them again. (We think if we don't acknowledge them, they never really happened, right?) Of course, some pieces always stay with us, regularly in the forefront of our minds. And some, we never really know how they're going to fit in until years down the road. But they're all pieces of us. They're not good, necessarily. They're not bad, either. They just... are. Today, I want to talk about what healing might look like as we explore our stories one piece at a time. Then, I have a special invitation for you for this summer.

"SaaS as we know it is DEAD." This might sound controversial, but as Manav Garg explains, the old model of simple workflow automation is being rapidly superseded. AI agents are now capable of executing complex tasks based on simple commands, fundamentally changing how businesses operate and what they expect from technology. Manav Garg is the Co-founder and Managing Partner of Together Fund, an operator-led VC firm managing over $250M AUM and backing ambitious early-stage Indian SaaS and AI startups. Before this, he founded Eka Software Solutions in 2004, building it over nearly two decades into a global leader in commodity management software. He scaled Eka to $34 million in revenue with $9 million in profit by 2014, raised over $55 million, navigated a complex pivot to the cloud, and ultimately exited the company. He is also a co-founder of SaaSBOOMi, Asia's largest SaaS community, and is passionate about building India as a Product Nation. Key Insights from the Conversation:

"ARRESTING THE ARRESTER"-The Transformational Journey of Saul: Conversion and New Identity in ChristIn Acts Chapter 9, we are invited to witness one of the most awe-inspiring conversions in the New Testament: the extraordinary metamorphosis of Saul of Tarsus into Paul, one of Christianity's most influential apostles. This chapter unveils Saul's profound encounter with Christ and introduces pivotal figures such as Ananias, who plays a crucial role in Saul's spiritual journey.Key Lessons from Acts 9:The Power of Divine Intervention (Acts 9:1-6) Saul's mission to persecute Christians is interrupted by a blinding light from heaven. This divine intervention teaches us that no one is beyond God's reach. Reflect on areas where you feel hopeless, and trust that God can transform any situation.The Importance of Obedience (Acts 9:7-9) After meeting Jesus, Saul experiences blindness, symbolizing the humility required for spiritual growth. Embrace still moments of obedience in your life, as they can lead to profound change.Following God's Call (Acts 9:10-16) Despite his fears, Ananias responds to God's directive to reach out to Saul, demonstrating the courage needed to follow God's calling. Are you ready to engage with the challenges He presents in your life?The Process of Transformation (Acts 9:17-19) Saul's transformation into Paul, with Ananias' unwavering support, is a testament to the ongoing nature of transformation. It's a source of hope and encouragement for us, reminding us that our spiritual growth is a journey that is continually strengthened by community.A New Identity in Christ (Acts 9:20-22) After his baptism, Saul boldly preaches about Jesus, highlighting that our past does not define our future in Christ. Reflect on your identity in Him—you're made new (2 Corinthians 5:17).Conclusion:Saul's conversion is a testament to the transformative power of God's grace, prompting us to assess our spiritual journeys. Are we receptive to divine intervention? Will we obey God's calling, even when challenging? As we embrace our new identities in Christ, let's remember that transformation thrives in community, empowered by the Holy Spirit.Join Us: Reflect on these life applications and explore how you can incorporate them into your daily life. Stay blessed, and we look forward to seeing you in the next episode!

Hello, can you believe it? Choose Happy with Marie has reached 100 episodes, and today, we're celebrating YOU—the amazing community that has made this journey so special!

In high school, my best friend and I were known as the Perfectionists. We had high standards for ourselves when it came to our school work, our extracurricular activities, and our jobs. If someone asked us to do something, they knew it would be done and be done well. Extremely well. While I have relaxed some over the years, I still have a high standard I hold myself to. Remember that strength of “responsibility” I mentioned last time? I tend to beat myself up if I don't meet a deadline or forget to follow up with someone. I feel horrible about it and do everything I can to make it up to the other person. This perfectionism can show up in many areas of life, including our journaling. In fact, I dare say it's one of the biggest obstacles I see women facing as they start a journaling practice of their own. But it's tricky. It doesn't always look like perfectionism. So today, we'll talk about the disguises perfectionism can wear in your journaling and what you can do to overcome it.

Episode 405 of Friends Talking Nerdy is a multi-layered celebration of television, podcast history, and modern pop culture commentary. In this episode, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive deep into a vibrant discussion that spans classic animated comedy, nostalgic podcast moments, and the cutting-edge world of professional wrestling. Here's a detailed breakdown of the episode's segments and highlights:​ A Deep Dive into The Simpsons LegacyFavorite Episodes Explored:Professor Aubrey and Tim kick off the episode by reminiscing about some of the most memorable installments of The Simpsons. They revisit iconic episodes such as:​"I Love Lisa" and its heartfelt look at family and affection.​"Marge Verses The Monorail" with its signature humor and zany town antics.​"A Fish Called Selma" and the satirical take on celebrity culture.​"Homer Goes To College" which humorously critiques higher education.​"Cape Feare" for its blend of suspense and humor.​"Homer Loves Flanders" as a quirky exploration of neighborly relationships.​"A Star Is Burns" where clever parodies of media events are on display.​"Homer At The Bat" with its all-star assembly of sports legends and absurdity.​"22 Short Films About Springfield" for its unique narrative format.​The timeless Treehouse of Horror specials, which consistently push creative boundaries with their spooky, satirical twist on classic horror tropes.​ A Nostalgic Journey Back to the Podcast ArchivesTim the Nerd takes a reflective trip down memory lane by revisiting a beloved clip from Episode 46, part 7 of the Friends Talking Nerdy Greatest Movie Ever Championship Tournament. This segment serves both as a nostalgic callback and a source of insightful commentary:Behind the Scenes Memories: Tim shares intimate behind-the-scenes stories about the making of that episode, offering fans a rare glimpse into the creative process and the evolution of the podcast's style.Key Lessons and Growth: He reflects on the lessons learned from those early days—lessons that have shaped how he approaches content creation and storytelling in the current iteration of the podcast. Tim's reflections highlight how formative experiences can foster creativity and set the stage for future successes.​ A Critical Take on Extreme Wrestling MomentsShifting gears from television and podcast retrospectives, Tim the Nerd addresses a recent hot topic from the world of professional wrestling. He critiques a controversial segment from AEW Dynamite, where Cope suplexed Jon Moxley onto a spiked board, which shockingly ended with the board getting stuck in Moxley's back.Critique of Extremism in Wrestling: Tim argues that such extreme moments, while they may appeal to a niche audience, are not a sustainable strategy for drawing in casual viewers. He discusses how pushing the envelope too far can alienate parts of the wrestling fanbase, especially those who prefer storytelling and character-driven narratives over shock value.Impact on Audience Perception: The segment leads to a broader discussion on how media and entertainment should balance spectacle with substance. Tim's insights are particularly pointed, suggesting that while extreme acts have their place, relying on them might marginalize potential new fans who are looking for more relatable or thoughtfully crafted content.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

In this heartfelt episode of the BeEncourage Podcast, Michelle slows down and reflects on “life lately.” Through a powerful story, we're reminded that things are not always as they seem—and that sometimes, what sometimes looks like a setback is really setting us up for something greater.

I'm pretty good at juggling multiple commitments and responsibilities. In fact, my number one strength per StrengthsFinder is “responsible” and my spiritual gifts include the gift of administration. Yet when everybody needs something at the same time, it can get really hard, really fast.  And when I start to feel overwhelmed or discouraged, I've noticed that I usually end up retreating. In other words, I hide away.  Can you relate? We can't just ignore these seasons altogether. They are just a part of life. But by creating regular times of intentional solitude, we not only prepare ourselves for these overwhelming seasons, but we also give ourselves moments of peace and calm during them. Why is that? Why is solitude such a big superpower for introverts? Stick around and we'll explore that together.

This devotion on Job 24:12-15 wrestles with a deep and painful question: Why does evil persist? Job observes that suffering continues, the wicked seem to act without consequence, and darkness conceals acts of sin.Yet Scripture reminds us that God is neither absent nor indifferent. Evil's temporary success is not its ultimate fate. Christ is the Light that exposes and overcomes darkness (John 1:5).

This devotion on Job 23:8-10 addresses a profound reality of faith: divine hiddenness—those seasons when God seems distant, yet He remains fully present and at work.Job searches for God in every direction but cannot perceive Him. Many saints have endured this same experience—Luther, Spurgeon, and even biblical figures like David (Psalm 13:1). Yet Job clings to a crucial truth: God knows the way he takes.

In today's teaching, we explore Paul's warning to believers by looking at Israel's failures in the wilderness. Even though they experienced God's miracles, their disobedience led to judgment. Paul reminds us that just as Israel was "baptized into Moses," yet many fell due to unbelief, we must also ensure our faith is active and enduring.Key Lessons from Israel's Sins:• Idolatry (Exodus 32:6) – The golden calf and turning from God.• Sexual Immorality (Numbers 25:1-9) – Sin led to destruction.• Testing God (Numbers 21:5-6) – Complaining brought judgment.• Grumbling (Numbers 16:41-49) – A lack of trust led to loss.Christ-Centered Insight:Jesus is the true Rock of our Salvation (1 Corinthians 10:4)—the One who provides living water (John 7:37-38). Just as Moses struck the rock and water flowed, Christ was struck once for our salvation (Hebrews 9:28).Final Warning & Encouragement:• 1 Corinthians 10:12 – "If you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!"• 1 Corinthians 10:13 – "God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear."• Jesus endured temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11), showing us how to overcome through the Word of God.Are you learning from Israel's past or repeating their mistakes? Stay firm in Christ, for He alone is our Rock and Redeemer!Watch now and be strengthened in your faith!

EPISODE 77 – DETACH, LEAD, AND WIN: MASTERING LEADERSHIP UNDER PRESSURE In this episode of The JP Dinnell Podcast, JP dives into one of the most powerful yet underrated leadership skills: detachment. Whether you're leading a business, a team, or your family, the ability to step back, assess the situation, and make clear, unemotional decisions is the difference between success and failure. Drawing from his experience as a Navy SEAL, business leader, and instructor at Echelon Front, JP breaks down why most leaders struggle under pressure and how detachment is the key to overcoming stress, ego, and tunnel vision. He shares real-life stories from the battlefield, business, and training that highlight the importance of staying calm, controlling emotions, and seeing the full picture before making decisions. If you've ever found yourself reacting emotionally, making rash decisions, or feeling overwhelmed by leadership responsibilities, this episode is a wake-up call. JP lays out a step-by-step framework for mastering detachment and explains why leaders who fail to detach will always fall short.
