Join Me for the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge A homeschool mom self-care challenge that honours you. Homeschool mama, I see you. December is here, and it feels like an avalanche of ALL the things.Every month as a homeschool mom is full, but December? It's a whole new level. You're trying to finish things up, or you’re moving into a unit study on Christmas, you’re purchasing, prepping, planning, and playing—and you just added a part time-job to your full-time job. But as a homeschool mama, when December rolls around, mama ain’t looking after herself, she’s looking, after ALL the things. And though ALL the things are a whole lot of things EVERY other month, December’s ALL the things is an exponential set of things. Though you’re trying to do all the things, fulfill the expectations, and make it magical for your kids, you can’t do a little bit more if you didn’t already incorporate an approach to maintain margins and pursue purposeful living. That's why I'm inviting you to join me for the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms. This isn't another TO DO list. It's a TO GIVE list—a way to give back to yourself. Join the 12 Day Self-Care Challenge Why Self-Care Matters As homeschool moms, we have a unique calling. We're deeply present with our kids, invested in their well-being, and working hard to create meaningful memories and learning experiences. We savor moments of: Watching our kids harmoniously play together (sometimes). Cheering them on as they tackle new challenges. Seeing their excitement as they pursue new interests. Building lifelong memories as a family. But there's another side to this season: The constant stream of emotions (theirs and ours). Sibling squabbles. Complaints and meltdowns. And, of course, the never-ending mundane tasks—laundry, dishes, meals, and errands. Even when we handle these challenges with grace, the emotional and mental investment is enormous. Add the holidays to the mix, and it's no wonder we feel stretched thin. The Secret Ingredient to a (more) Peaceful Holiday Season Here's the thing: you matter too. Your well-being is not just an afterthought—it's the foundation of a happy family life and a peaceful holiday season. Self-care: Refills your energy so you can approach the holidays with calm and joy. Models healthy balance and boundaries for your children. Helps you manage stress and let go of perfection. Strengthens your emotional resilience to handle challenges with patience and grace. Creates space for joy and presence, helping you savor the small, magical moments. When you care for yourself, you're giving your family the best gift of all—a peaceful, grounded, and joyful mama. What You'll Get in the 12-Day Challenge In just fifteen minutes a day—maybe even five—you'll explore simple, practical self-care strategies that fit into your busy December. These strategies aren't just for the holidays; they're tools to carry into the new year, helping you nurture yourself and your family with greater ease and satisfaction. By the end of these 12 days, you'll feel: More energized. More connected to yourself. And more at peace as you move through this beautiful, busy season. And so we must take care of ourselves. Join the 12 Days of Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge Join Me—You Deserve This So, homeschool mama, this is your invitation to take a breath, step back, and remember that you are worth nurturing. Let's do this together. This December, give yourself the gift of care, calm, and connection. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms and rediscover the joy of the season—not just for your family, but for you too. Just fifteen minutes a day. You've got this.

Pastor/Elder Steve Brown preaches from Matthew 10:34-42.

Romans 15:14-33Ronny Byrd

We live in the same 'present evil world' that the Apostle Paul mentioned in Galatians 1:4. It's not going to change. Men and women have chosen to use their free will for themselves, placing themselves on the throne and disregarding their Creator. And because of this, we have been going down one dead end road after another, seeking for a 'life worth living'. But the true life worth living starts with having your sins forgiven and being right with God. Only then will you have the correct perspective to view life from God's angle - the vantage point of His marvellous grace. Only then will you have the power and the purpose to live your life for Him.

Acts To The Future - A Life Worth Living | Acts 20 by Lifehouse

To make a dent in the pile of material you might feel you have to read to be up on the most recent developments in mental health, here's a practical review of the relatively new approach to therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, with brief examples of how to apply it. Because one of the main goals of ACT is flexibility, it can be very helpful to anyone struggling with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), or to those just challenged by some obsessive-compulsive traits, perfectionism, workaholism, or Type A personality.

Self-Control: Mastery over self for the sake of love and holiness. It's not about willpower alone, but about surrender—letting the Spirit rule our impulses, desires, and reactions so that love leads and holiness marks our lives. Scriptures:  Galatians 5: 22-23, Proverbs 25:28, Titus 2:11-12

What does it mean to live a life truly worthy of the gospel? In Philippians 1:27–30, Paul calls believers to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects Christ — standing firm in the truth, striving together in unity, remaining fearless in opposition, and enduring suffering with faith. In this message, Pastor Lee Callicutt unpacks what “a life worth living” looks like for every follower of Jesus.

Send us a textGrowing up surrounded by addiction, Myrna knew recovery long before she ever needed it. Born into a family of AA members but raised amid chaos, violence, and neglect, she found herself repeating the same cycles she swore she'd escape. From losing everything in addiction, including her children, to fighting through family court and finding faith through service work, this is a raw account of how one woman rebuilt her life from the ground up.Through courage, accountability, and the 12 Steps, Myrna found not only sobriety but peace. Her story is a testament to how recovery can reach through generations—and how family court doesn't have to be the end of a parent's story.✅ Check SEIU West✅ Wellness News✅ Warrior Mentality✅ Bunny Hugs and Mental HealthSupport the showCheck out the speakeasy podcast Follow Daniel Unmanageable on Facebook Follow Project Sparky We've got fresh merch and it's amazing!

Today in our Life Worth Living series, we're looking at Kindness and Gentleness—two fruits of the Spirit that reflect the heart of Christ. Kindness is undeserved action that meets real needs. Gentleness is strength wielded for the good of others, especially the weak, the wrong, and the wounded. Today, we'll see kindness and gentleness in Christ, and how His Spirit grows kindness and gentleness in us. Scriptures: Galatians 5:22-23, Ephesians 2:7, Romans 2:4, 2 Timothy 2:24, Ephesians 4:32, Matthew 11: 28-30, Galatians 6:1, 1 Peter 3:15

But what does ikigai really mean?When you think of ikigai, what do you envision? Is it the popular Venn diagram that claims to help you find your purpose by identifying “the sweet spot” where what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for overlap? The problem? That's not ikigai at all. And in fact, the very process of putting ikigai into a framework contradicts the authentic meaning of the word.To dispel what he calls the “ikigai hoax” and uncover its deeper meaning I'm joined by Nicholas Kemp—Japanologist, researcher and author of IKIGAI-KAN: Feel a Life Worth Living and the new book Rolefulness, co-authored with Professor Daiki Kato. We explore how ikigai is fundamentally about creating meaning, connection, and a life —and workplace—where people feel life is worth livingIt's about being before doing and cultivating simple joys, authentic relationships, and spaces where people feel safe, valued, and inspired, whatever roles you are playing in your life or at work.Let's rediscover ikigai—not as a trendy framework, but as a powerful principle to understanding personal purpose, leadership development, and how to cultivate organizations where every individual can thrive. YOU'LL LEARN:Why the popular Venn diagram version of ikigai is a myth—and what authentic ikigai really means in JapanWhy ikigai is an essential concept for leaders who want to create people-centered workplacesThe deeper meaning of kokorozashi and its connection to purpose, intention, and leadership impactWhat “rolefulness” means and why understanding your roles in life can bring meaning into your relationships and workplacePractical ways to apply ikigai in leadership and daily life to inspire individuals and build thriving teamsABOUT MY GUEST:Nicholas Kemp, known as The Ikigai Coach, is a coach trainer, public speaker, consultant, and author of IKIGAI-KAN: Feel a Life Worth Living and Rolefulness.

Proverbs 23:31-35, 24:3-4, Zephaniah 3:17, Philippians 1:3-26. Indeed, he regarded death as something of even greater worth Yet for him, Jesus had made his life profoundly worth living

Ps Amanda Jensen - A Life Worth Living by Citipointe Church - Redcliffe

Faithfulness, a fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, is steadfast loyalty to God and dependable care for others.  Loyalty means a long obedience in the same direction—staying true to God's Word and ways over time.  Dependability means doing what you said you would do—living with integrity so others can count on you.  Shaped by the Spirit, this kind of faithfulness reflects the unwavering heart of Christ in both devotion to God and relationships with people. Scriptures: Galatians 5: 22-23, Luke 16:10-12, Provers 20:6

Sunday morning opening, September 28, 2025.

What is a life worth living? In this week's epiosde Rabbi Kohn explores this question with the message of Moshe Rabbanu(Moses). We see from Moshe how a life without spiritual growth is a life not worth living. He also discusses one of the gravest sins a Jew can have. The sin of giving up hope. We see from the Parsha's message that thinking that Hashem has G-D forbid forsaken us leads to more concealment. how we must remember that Hashem never gives up on us so how can we give up on ourselves. Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast. For questions or comments please email RabbiShlomoKohn@gmail.com.

Goodness isn't something we can manufacture—it flows from God's own heart. On our own, we can't live truly good lives. But God did what we never could: through Jesus, He gave us a new nature. Now the Spirit grows His goodness in us, so that what once felt impossible becomes the natural overflow of a life made new. Scripture: Micah 6:6-8, Romans 3: 10-12, Matthew 22: 37-40

In Jesus Christ, we find a Treasure more precious than everything we have in life and everything we lose in death.

What do engineering, entrepreneurship, and divinity have to do with each other? Apparently, more than you think. In this episode, Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™, sits down with Tulane professors Rob Lalka, who teaches entrepreneurship, and Matt Escarra, a professor of engineering, to talk about a course that challenges students to ask the big questions. They discuss technology, ethics, purpose, and yes, even money. Inspired by a curriculum from Yale Divinity School, the class invites students to wrestle with questions like: What is the good life? What should we hope for? And how do we shape a future worth building? Together, they explore how innovations like AI, gene editing, climate tech, and social media are not just technical challenges. They are deeply human ones. This conversation will make you think differently about how we define progress, what we value, and how we prepare the next generation of leaders. If you enjoy the episode, follow the show, share it with a friend, and keep asking the questions that really matter, the ones that go way beyond the bottom line. Episode Highlights: Rob explains how entrepreneurship education can prepare students to build mission-driven companies that shape the future. (03:00) Matt describes how a conversation with a visiting AI expert led to the course's inspiration and partnership with Yale's Life Worth Living program. (05:00) Erik asks how Matt integrates the technical side of engineering with questions about ethics and social impact. (06:00) Rob discusses his book The Venture Alchemists and how founders' values influence technology's role in society. (09:00) Matt outlines how the course delays tech discussion to first explore ancient wisdom, values, and views of the good life. (15:00) Rob shares how classroom conversations mimic the deep late-night college discussions that shape students' thinking. (19:00) Erik connects course themes to financial advising, noting how values influence money decisions. (22:00) Rob describes how student projects will pair deep research with direct conversations with top industry leaders. (30:00) Rob and Matt explore how suffering shapes a meaningful life and why students should reflect on this before entering leadership. (37:00) Rob and Matt reflect on the long-term impact they hope this course will have on their students' personal and professional lives. (51:00) Key Quotes: “We are equipping you to be great critical thinkers, great empathetic leaders, people who are able to go into tough conversations and be really great listeners. And not just trying to argue your point.” - Rob Lalka “I'd love to see them developing thoughtful careers where they can feel like they made some recognition in our class about what their values are and then followed through on their values, whatever that looks like for them.” - Matt Escarra “The dimensions by which you can achieve efficiencies are really mind blowing when we think about the future of technology.” - Matt Escarra Resources Mentioned: Rob Lalka Matthew Escarra Book: The Venture Alchemists Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors

Patience is trusting God in the waiting. Our role is to lean on Him instead of forcing our own way, while the Spirit shapes us to endure with peace and hope. Patience looks like faith in action—loving, enduring, and holding on to God's promises even when the outcome isn't clear. Scripture: Galatians 5:22, James 5: 7-11

In this episode, Kate speaks with surgeon, writer, and public health leader Dr. Atul Gawande about the deeply human questions that surface when medicine meets its limits. What does it mean to be a good doctor when a cure isn’t possible? What do people really mean when they say they want “quality of life”? Together, they talk about caregiving, end-of-life decisions, and how the most honest conversations in healthcare begin—not with answers—but with better questions. For anyone living with chronic illness, caring for someone they love, or wondering what it means to live a good life with limits, this conversation won’t offer easy fixes. But it might offer something just as rare: clarity, compassion, and the courage to ask what really matters. Watch the full episode on YouTube: Kate C.

Peace is a part of Jesus' character that the Holy Spirit is developing in every Christian. It's not dependent on what's happening around us but is rooted in God's unchanging presence. This peace was secured through Jesus and grows as we learn to surrender and trust Him. The Spirit's work in us is to shape our hearts so that Christ's peace becomes evident in our lives and overflows to others.

Samuel warned Israel not to turn aside to worthless things—and his challenge still rings true today. We all want our lives to count, but what makes life truly meaningful? Scripture is clear: a life worth living is one that glorifies God. But what does that look like in everyday life? In this message, Bucky unpacks what God's glory really is, how the Holy Spirit empowers us to live for it, and why even the most ordinary tasks can bring Him honor. A life worth living isn't about doing more—it's about doing everything for the One who made you.

Today we begin a brand-new sermon series on the Fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5 called A Life Worth Living. We start with the first two fruits—love and joy. Love is the foundation on which everything else is built, and a life worth living is rooted in God's love. From that love flows true joy—a deep satisfaction found not in circumstances, but in our relationship with Him. Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23, Colossians 3:14, Romans 8:28-30

He is an entrepreneur, author, a speaker, and a coach!   In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Setema unpack the real journey behind all the accolades. But the heart of this conversation dives into what happened after the stadium lights faded—an identity crisis, financial collapse during the 2008 recession, and the humbling experience of selling his Super Bowl ring to pay bills. Setema reveals how hitting rock bottom ultimately led to his purpose: helping others transform their lives through faith, discipline, and perseverance. He opens up about embracing the “refining season” of knocking doors in his late 30s, finding peace in surrender, and discovering that true leadership requires having lived through the pain you're called to guide others through.   This episode is a masterclass in perseverance, humility, and the power of living your purpose—no matter where the path leads.   Highlights of this episode: Setema's framework for living with purpose: MTLI What is Game Changer?

What if our relentless drive to be better than others is quietly breaking us?Miroslav Volf unpacks the core themes of his 2025 book, The Cost of Ambition: How Striving to Be Better Than Others Makes Us Worse. In this book, Volf offers a penetrating critique of comparison culture, diagnosing the hidden moral and spiritual wounds caused by competition and superiority.Drawing on Scripture, theology, philosophy, literature, and our culture's obsession with competition and superiority, Volf challenges our assumptions about ambition and identity—and presents a deeply humanizing vision of life rooted not in being “the best,” but in receiving ourselves as creatures made and loved by God.From Milton's depiction of Satan to Jesus' descent in Philippians 2, from the architectural rivalry of ancient Byzantium to modern Olympic anxieties, Volf invites us to imagine a new foundation for personal and social flourishing: a life free from striving, rooted in love and grace.Highlights“The key here is for us to come to appreciate, affirm, and—importantly—love ourselves. Love ourselves unconditionally.”“Striving for superiority devalues everything we have, if it doesn't contribute to us being better than someone else.”“The inverse of striving for superiority is internal plague by inferiority.”“In Jesus, we see that God's glory is not to dominate but to lift up what is low.”“We constantly compare to feel good about ourselves, and end up unsure of who we are.”“We have been given to ourselves by God—our very existence is a gift, not a merit.”Helpful Links and ResourcesVisit faith.yale.edu/ambition to get a 40-page PDF Discussion Guide and Full Access to 7 videosThe Cost of Ambition by Miroslav Volf (Baker Academic, May 2025)Philippians 2:5–11 (NIV) – Christ's Humility and Exaltation – BibleGatewayRomans 12:10 – “Outdo one another in showing honor” – BibleHubParadise Lost by John Milton – Project GutenbergParadise Regained by John Milton – Project GutenbergShow NotesOpening Reflections on CompetitionThe conversation begins with Volf recalling a talk he gave at the Global Congress on Christianity & Sports.He uses athletic competition—highlighting Lionel Messi—as a lens for questioning the moral value of striving to be better than others.“Sure, competition pulls people up—but it also familiarizes us with inferiority.”“We compare ourselves to feel good… but end up feeling worse.”Introduces the story of Justinian and Hagia Sophia: “Oh Solomon, I have outdone you.”Rivalry, Power, and InsecurityShares the backstory of Juliana's competing church and the gold-ceiling arms race with Justinian.“Religious architecture became a battlefield of status.”Draws insight from these historic rivalries as examples of how ambition pervades religious life—not just secular.Modern Parallels: Yale Students's & the Rat RaceVolf notes how even Yale undergrads—once top of their class—feel insecure in comparison to peers.“They arrive and suddenly their worth plummets. That's insane.”The performance-driven culture makes stable identity nearly impossible.Biblical Illustration: Kierkegaard's LilyVolf recounts Kierkegaard's retelling of Jesus's lily parable.A bird whispers to the little lily that it's not beautiful enough, prompting the lily to uproot itself—and wither.“The lesson: we are destined to lose ourselves when our value depends on comparison.”Intrinsic Value and the Image of God“We need to discover the intrinsic value of who we are as creatures made in the image of God.”Kierkegaard and Jesus both show us the beauty of ‘mere humanity.'“You are more glorious in your humanity than Solomon in his robes.”Theological Anthropology and Grace“We have been given to ourselves by God—our lives are a gift.”“We owe so much to luck, to others, to God. So how can we boast?”Paul's challenge in 1 Corinthians: “What do you have that you have not received?”Milton and Satan's AmbitionShifts to Paradise Lost: Satan rebels because he can't bear not being top.“Even what is beautiful becomes devalued if it doesn't prove superiority.”In Paradise Regained, Satan tempts Jesus to be the greatest—but Jesus refuses.Christ's Humility and Downward GloryHighlights Philippians 2: Jesus “emptied himself… took the form of a servant.”“God's glory is not domination—it's lifting up the lowly.”“Salvation comes not through seizing status, but through relinquishing it.”Paul's Vision of Communal HonorRomans 12:10: “Outdo one another in showing honor.”“True honor comes not from climbing over others, but from lifting them up.”Connects this ethic to Paul's vision of church as an egalitarian body.God's Care for Creation and HumanityLuther's observation: God calls Earth good but not Heaven—“God cares more for our home than his own.”“We are called to emulate God's loving attention to the least.”Striving vs. AcceptanceVolf contrasts ambition with love: “The inverse of striving for superiority is the plague of inferiority.”Encourages unconditional self-love as a reflection of God's love.Uses image of a parent greeting a newborn: “You've arrived.”A Vision for Healed Culture“We wreck others in our pursuit of superiority—and we leave them wounded in our wake.”The gospel reveals a better way: not performance, but grace.“Our salvation and our culture's healing lie in the humility of Jesus.”“We must rediscover the beauty of our mere humanity.”About Miroslav VolfMiroslav Volf is the founding director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture and the Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School.

Dr. Tiffany Moon, MD—anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, and author of Joy Prescriptions—pulls back the curtain on what it truly means to “have it all.” From burnout and perfectionism to the immigrant experience and working motherhood, Tiffany shares how chasing external validation cost her deeply—until she learned to rediscover herself through joy, therapy, imperfection, and authenticity. We explore her journey from burnout to breakthrough, the hidden health consequences of living without joy, and what true success looks like when you rewrite your own story.
