I'm your host, Justin Benton, and today we reflect on the profound impact Steve had on so many lives. Known for his book "Blue Fishing" and his unique ability to connect people, Steve was a mentor and a friend who recently passed away after battling cancer.We revisit an interview with Steve, where he shared his journey from a bricklayer in London to becoming a super-connector for some of the world's most influential people, including Elon Musk and Elton John. Steve's insights into human interaction, his philosophy on life, and his relentless pursuit of success are truly inspiring.Steve also discussed his latest book, "Go For Stupid," which challenges the current societal norms of tearing each other down and instead promotes a culture of support and encouragement. He shared stories about his experiences with high-profile individuals and his thoughts on the importance of having meaningful conversations, even with controversial figures like Hitler and Putin.Throughout the episode, we also touch on Steve's passion for motorcycles and his unique approach to life, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's own value and leveraging it to create impactful connections.Join us as we honor Steve Sims, a legend who wore his heart on his sleeve and never pulled a punch.

Going Pro Yoga (Formerly the Yoga Teacher Evolution Podcast)
What happens when ancient wisdom meets a modern heart that's ready to listen?That's exactly what unfolded for Lucy St. John. At just 23, a spontaneous experience of unity consciousness during a trip to India shifted the entire course of her life. Suddenly, she saw herself reflected in every human being—and that sense of deep connection lasted for months.In this heartfelt conversation, Lucy shares how that awakening led her to the Vedic tradition, 12 years of oral teachings, and a deep commitment to yoga, not just as movement, but as a way of being. From washing dishes in an ashram to chanting Sanskrit mantras with precision, Lucy reveals what it means to live yoga—not perform it.She opens up about the early days when no one showed up to her talks, the resilience it took to keep going, and the healing power of sound and silence. Whether you're a yoga teacher, practitioner, or simply curious about spiritual growth, this episode is a warm reminder that sometimes the most profound truths are the ones we already know—deep down.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:40 How Lucy Found Yoga00:06:13 Teaching Vedic Wisdom Before Yoga Was Popular00:14:02 What Is the Vedic Tradition?00:23:04 Mantras, Sound, and Vibration00:37:16 The Power of Just Being00:45:00 Ignorance as a Starting Point00:49:15 Shifting Energy in Yoga and Life00:56:05 Why Every Teacher's Voice Matters00:59:28 Inner Peace Before Outer Change—-------—-------—-

In many cultures, marriage is seen as a rite of passage, a transition from individual life to a shared existence. It is a celebration of love and unity, where two people vow to support and uplift each other. This union is often compared to a temple, a sacred space where love is nurtured and protected. The symbolism of marriage extends beyond the couple, encompassing family, community, and even spirituality. It is a testament to the power of love to transcend boundaries and bring people together. Marriage is not without its challenges, but it is these very challenges that strengthen the bond between partners. Through communication, compromise, and understanding, couples learn to navigate life's ups and downs together. The journey of marriage is a continuous process of growth and discovery, where partners learn to appreciate each other's strengths and weaknesses. It is a journey that ultimately leads to a deeper understanding of oneself and one's partner.

My guest today is Keith Nester, a former pastor who spent over 20 years in ministry—until one verse changed everything. When he heard Jesus say in Matthew 26:26, “This is my body,” he knew it wasn't symbolic. Embracing that truth meant losing his ministry, his income, and nearly his marriage.He resisted at first, but as liberalism overtook his denomination, he realized only Church tradition could stand firm. Today, Keith helps others find their way home. His mission: unite Christians in truth and reignite a deep love for scripture and Christ's teachings. He's living proof that following truth is worth everything.NEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

David Meltzer: How Gratitude Can Change Your Life | The Hopeaholics Podcast In this powerful episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, David Meltzer shares his incredible journey from making hundreds of millions of dollars, losing it all, and rebuilding his life through faith, gratitude, and purpose. As the Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, David discusses how timeless principles from Think and Grow Rich transformed his mindset and mission to empower over a billion people to be happy. He emphasizes the importance of non-negotiable habits—like prioritizing health, family, and faith—and explains how these consistent actions anchor his success. David dives deep into the concept of "divine detours," seeing life's obstacles as opportunities for growth and greater alignment with a higher purpose. With raw honesty, he reflects on the life-changing moment when his wife and mother gave him an ultimatum: the day he stopped trying to change was the day they would cut him off. He credits their tough love and his commitment to constant self-improvement for his ability to rise again. Throughout the conversation, David challenges the stigma around wealth and generosity, arguing that you can only give as much as you have. His message is clear—keep trying, embrace divine timing, and never let failure define you. This episode is a compelling reminder that with faith, persistence, and a willingness to change, it's possible to rebuild and live a life of true abundance.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #sobrietyjourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

In this engaging video, Luke Hansen takes on the criticisms of the Book of Abraham, particularly those raised by Cameron Bert from the YouTube channel Capturing Christianity. The video delves into the historical context of Joseph Smith's acquisition of ancient papyri and mummies in 1835, which led to the creation of the Book of Abraham. Hansen provides a detailed analysis of the translation process, highlighting the complexities and controversies surrounding it. He addresses common misconceptions about Joseph Smith's use of the so-called Egyptian alphabet and grammar documents, clarifying that these were not directly linked to the translation of the Book of Abraham. Instead, they were part of a broader attempt by Smith and his associates to understand ancient languages. Throughout the video, Hansen emphasizes the importance of considering both secular and spiritual perspectives when evaluating the Book of Abraham. He acknowledges the challenges posed by critics but also points out the numerous historical and linguistic accuracies found within the text. Hansen encourages viewers to explore the spiritual dimensions of the book, suggesting that personal revelation plays a crucial role in understanding its significance. This video serves as an informative resource for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, history, and scholarship.⏱️⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS⏱️⏱️:00:00:00 - Introduction to Cameron Bert's Criticisms00:01:30 - Joseph Smith and the Book of Abraham00:03:01 - Egyptian Papers and Translation Claims00:04:29 - Critique of Kirtland Egyptian Papers00:06:03 - Understanding Egyptian Symbols and Texts00:07:44 - Lion Couch Scene and Jewish Perspectives00:09:06 - Repurposing Egyptian Stories in Christianity00:10:44 - Church Response to 1912 Egyptologist Critiques00:12:23 - Modern Analysis of Papyrus Fragments00:14:02 - Radical Ideas in the Book of Abraham00:15:36 - Historical Details and Predictions00:17:20 - Biographical Details of Abraham's Life00:18:55 - Interpretation of Facsimiles and Figures00:20:33 - Spiritual and Secular Knowledge Discussion00:22:06 - Conclusion and Supporting the Channel⚡ For this and more visit WardRadio.com
In this episode, Lila sits down with Fr. Luke Mata to explore the spiritual principles of Opus Dei, which literally translates to "The Work." Unlike many religious groups which encourage people to leave society in order to become sanctified, Opus Dei Founder St. Josemaria Escriva taught that one can become holy through the business of everyday life, not in spite of it.Fr. Luke also shares how his deep faith—and his mother's example of holiness in the midst of suffering—shaped his spiritual journey, guiding him to a vocation in the priesthood where he would ultimately serve as Vicar of Opus Dei for the West.Fr. Luke has a PhD in Moral Philosophy and served in two papal synods. He also is a former Vicar of Opus Dei for the West.

But one particular type photo being shared via email – a photo of a smiling dog – would never be described as cute, as it drives some people literally insane. Is it real, or just another cyber-located urban legend? (Smile.Dog) *** Being kidnapped by gypsies is a somewhat negative stereotype towards those who truly live the lifestyle. They don't typically go out of their way to snatch people away… but in one particular circumstance it truly did happen – and it created an incredibly strange tale.

In this episode, Akshay Bhat, a yoga teacher and Ayurvedic practitioner, explores the four pillars of life in Ayurveda: Dharma (righteousness), Artha (material possessions), Kama (fulfillment of desires), and Moksha (liberation). He emphasizes that balancing these aspects is crucial to leading a happy and healthy life. Akshay delves into how Ayurveda and yoga are interconnected, with both practices supporting spiritual growth and well-being. Ayurveda, which dates back over 6,000 years, is not just a system for physical health but also a guide for living a purposeful life. The speakers discuss how disease is viewed as a "mistake of intelligence" in Ayurveda, and how balance across the four life pillars is key to achieving wellness. The concept of Dharma is explored, contrasting it with Adharma, which represents a life driven by ego and negative emotions. The importance of balancing material and spiritual needs, or Artha, is highlighted, with the caution that modern society often promotes unnecessary desires. Finally, Moksha, or liberation, is discussed, with the speakers suggesting that it can be found through various activities like yoga, meditation, and creative pursuits. Each person's path to freedom is unique, and discovering what brings a sense of expansion is essential for personal growth.
