Obsessing on what other people think about you, say about you, did to you - or are doing to you to undermine you Telling yourself you'll never get X because Y happened - over and over - this is a message that will come true when you say it - you are the story you tell yourself Focus on the causes of your current troubles rather than the things that can solve problems. And what does the victor look like? Takes rabid responsibility for their part in their own troubles (John Bush on self reflection, Buying things with a credit card to satisfy the instant gratification monkey, Friend with a violent husband removing herself from access, etc.) Controls their reaction to bad things to make the best of it - but not in a fake toxic positivity way. (Macchu Picchu) Focuses on what they CAN control (this one hurts for a reforming political junkie) Sees obstacles as challenges rather than insurmountable roadblocks Gains self worth internally, not from the feedback of others (and therefore cares not what people say about them or if people are trying to undermine them) A victor will ask - how can I? A victim will say I can't. That is the biggest difference between the two. So how do you become a victor when you are stuck as a victim? Recognize where you are - that is the first step to owning your future Shift your mindset from being helpless to proactive, rabid responsibility Know what you cannot control, and embrace that you can control your reaction to it Kill the negative thoughts and paranoia and ask yourself - How can i? Forgive - forgive yourself, forgive those around you - but it is ok to NOT forget6. Set boundaries to keep yourself building your future rather than getting stuck in past, unhealthy cycles. That choice — to build forward instead of staying broken — is what changes everything. Make it a great week. GUYS!

Solo Travel Adventures: Safe Travel for Women, Preparing for a Trip, Overcoming Fear, Travel Tips
What happens when a woman who's lived like a "caged bird" for 25 years suddenly finds herself free? For Linda Magoon, freedom meant climbing mountains—specifically, all 48 of New Hampshire's 4,000-foot peaks.After decades in a controlling marriage where asking permission was the norm and independence was punished with silent treatments and anger, Linda reached what she calls her "tipping point" in her mid-50s. With the help of a crisis counselor, she realized she was experiencing domestic violence, even without physical abuse. Six months later, she was divorced and facing the terrifying prospect of creating a life entirely her own.That's when Linda rediscovered hiking. What started as a simple eight-mile solo trek became transformative medicine for her soul. Each summit conquered represented another step toward reclaiming her voice and identity. "The accomplishment of hiking a summit was in itself healing," she shares. Combined with a life-coaching program that introduced her to vision boards, affirmations, and the radical idea that it's okay to want things for yourself, Linda's mountain odyssey became the framework for her rebirth.The journey wasn't without challenges. Linda had to learn crucial distinctions between fear ("that small voice telling you you're not good enough") and instinct ("when your head, heart, and gut align"). She navigated solo hiking safety, extreme weather, and even the public shame when her ex-husband was later arrested for serious crimes. Through it all, the mountains offered perspective and healing.Today, Linda has transformed her experience into her book "Live Free and Hike: Finding Grace on 48 Summits" and recently embraced retirement with solo RV adventures. Her story reminds us that healing doesn't always come through traditional therapy—sometimes it arrives one step, one summit, one moment of freedom at a time.Want to hear more inspiring stories of transformation through travel?

Is this the end of the world? How should Christians view Israel, prophecy, and the second coming of Jesus? In this episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and guest theologian Paul Cunningham unpack powerful themes from Romans 11, Revelation, and 1 Corinthians. The conversation ranges from spiritual mysteries to prophecy fulfillment, including various eschatological views like preterism, premillennialism, and idealism. You'll hear deep, Spirit-filled reflections on how God's sovereignty unfolded in history—and how His promises to Israel still matter today. But beyond the theology, the team brings it home: the return of Christ should stir urgency, humility, and action in our lives. Whether you're exploring prophecy, struggling with what to believe, or leading others in discussion, this episode reminds us that while we don't know the exact time, we do know our mission.
14th Sunday in Ordinary Time, 2025 In this episode, Fr. James reflects on The Backpack Effect—the paradoxical truth that the more you travel, the lighter you pack… not just in your luggage, but in life. Drawing from Jesus' instructions to the 72 disciples in Luke 10, we explore how the spiritual life calls us to travel light, to surrender control, and to cultivate deep interior peace through trust in God's providence. This isn't just a homily—it's a call to mission. But before we can share peace, we must receive it. Before we can preach the Good News, we must experience it ourselves. The Backpack Effect: Life isn't about how much you carry, but how free you are to move. Mission as Formation: Jesus sends us not to use us, but to form us in freedom and trust. Detachment as Freedom: Let go of stuff, stories, and control—so you can receive peace and purpose. 1. Detach from What Weighs You Down Physical Clutter: Ask, “What do I own that owns me?” Let go of one thing a day. Emotional Baggage: Identify a wound or story you keep reliving. Write it down. Burn it. Surrender it. Need for Control: Try a Trust Fast—for one day, don't seek answers. Just act in faith. 2. Cultivate Interior Peace (Inspired by Jacques Philippe) Peace is not the fruit of calm circumstances—but of radical trust. Begin each day: “Lord, not my will but Yours be done.” Daily 3-Minute Peace Check: What upset me today? What can I do, and what must I entrust? Jesus, I trust in You. Give me Your peace.

NEVER GIVE UP!! NEVER SURRENDER!! Galaxy Quest Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Start your online business with a $1 per-month trial when you visit https://www.shopify.com/rejects! Galaxy Quest (1999) Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau boldly go where no fanboys (...or mayhaps a few.. fanboys) have gone before in their Reaction & Review of the 1999 cult classic sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest! Directed by Dean Parisot (Red 2, Fun with Dick and Jane) and widely regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi parodies ever made, Galaxy Quest is both a hilarious spoof of Star Trek fandom and a heartfelt adventure that stands proudly on its own. The story follows the washed-up cast of a once-popular sci-fi TV show, who find themselves mistaken for real space heroes by an alien race in desperate need of help. Tim Allen (Home Improvement, The Santa Clause) leads the charge as Jason Nesmith / Cmdr. Peter Quincy Taggart, with Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Ghostbusters) as Gwen DeMarco / Lt. Tawny Madison, Alan Rickman (Die Hard, Harry Potter) as the disgruntled Alexander Dane / Dr. Lazarus, and Tony Shalhoub (Monk, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as the delightfully odd Fred Kwan / Tech Sgt. Chen. Rounding out the crew are Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards, Moon) as Guy Fleegman, Daryl Mitchell (NCIS: New Orleans) as Tommy Webber / Laredo, and Enrico Colantoni (Veronica Mars, Just Shoot Me!) as Mathesar, the sweet alien leader of the Thermians. The film also features a breakout performance by Justin Long (Dodgeball, Live Free or Die Hard) as an obsessive fan who ultimately saves the day, and a terrifying villain in Robin Sachs (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as General Sarris. Famous moments include the "chomper hallway" sequence, Alan Rickman's iconic "By Grabthar's Hammer" speech, the Omega 13 mystery payoff, and the triumphant fan convention finale. Whether you're a sci-fi geek or just love a good underdog story, this one's got laughs, heart, and surprising emotional depth.

We kicked off our new series, The Rebel Way, by diving deep into the Sermon on the Mount—a message that's as radical and relevant today as it was when Jesus first preached it. Pastors Mike Breaux, Chris Kuti and Carlos Erazo unpack the Beatitudes and how this countercultural invitation leads us toward a life of freedom, purpose, and transformation. From personal stories of brokenness to the beauty of surrender, we explored how Jesus flips the script on what it means to be truly blessed. Whether you're struggling with pride, searching for peace, or simply longing for a deeper relationship with God, this conversation reminds us that the narrow path is the one worth walking. As we follow Jesus upstream, we discover a faith that's authentic, compelling, and full of grace.

Learn why our actions reveal what's truly happening in our hearts and why behavior change alone fails without inner transformation.

Do you live in integrity? Are you present? How much sacred pleasure do you experience? Do you embrace discipline as the foundation of love?

That We Might Live Free A Memorial Day Tribute | Arete Coach™ Podcast with Severin Sorensen. A Special tribute featuring Jay Stringham (posthumously), Irving Ray Stringham Jr., and the Stringham family legacy. In this special Memorial Day edition of the Arete Coach™ Podcast, host Severin Sorensen departs from his usual exploration of executive coaching to deliver a solemn tribute to the men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. Titled “That We Might Live Free,” this episode reflects on the true meaning of Memorial Day, honors the story of WWII aviator Irving Ray Stringham Jr., and shares a sacred poem—A Soldier's Last Prayer—written by his younger brother Jay Thorral Stringham. Rather than featuring a conventional guest, this episode centers on a heartfelt tribute to Irving Ray Stringham Jr., a WWII aviator who gave his life over the skies of Germany, and Jay Thorral Stringham, his younger brother and the only survivor among five friends from their neighborhood who went to war together. Haunted by loss and moved by a deep sense of reverence, Jay channeled his grief and gratitude into a poem titled “A Soldier's Last Prayer.” The poem, delivered in this episode, is a poignant reflection of a soldier's internal dialogue on the eve of battle—capturing a blend of fear, faith, sacrifice, and hope. The host received this poem from Jay's daughter, Dolly Hicks, who entrusted its legacy to be shared and remembered. With permission from the family, Severin transforms this heartfelt poem into three powerful musical renditions, each offering a different lens on sacrifice, remembrance, and devotion. This is not a performance—this is an offering. A moment of remembrance. A promise to never forget. Featuring: Historical reflections and family storiesThree musical interpretations of A Soldier's Last PrayerQuotes from JFK, Reagan, Lincoln, Patton, and moreA call to live with gratitude, purpose, and honor
I'm joined by my friend Elizabeth Woodson—Bible teacher, author, and all-around theological powerhouse—to talk about Paul's letter to the Galatians. We dig into what it really means to be free in Christ, why Paul's transformation from persecutor to apostle matters so deeply, and how he surprisingly elevated the role of women in his ministry. Elizabeth shares wisdom from her new Bible study, Live Free, and together we unpack how belief in Jesus reshapes both our individual lives and our communities.Buy Elizabeth's Study:Live Free - Bible Study: A Study of GalatiansFollow Elizabeth:Instagram | TikTokSign up for weekly emails at RebeccaMcLaughlin.org/SubscribeFollow Confronting Christianity:Instagram | XProduced by The Good Podcast Co.
What happens when a bold faith collides with a skeptical world? Pastors Josh Howerton and Carlos Erazo are joined by Pamela Baltazar and Jana Howerton for a rich, laughter-filled, and truth-packed conversation centered on Acts 17 and Paul's legendary sermon on Mars Hill. As they unpack how Paul's approach to sharing the Gospel mirrors the challenges we face in today's digital culture, the group explores how believers can engage the modern “Areopagus” of social media with courage and clarity. Along the way, they celebrate God's faithfulness through 25,000 baptisms at Lakepointe church, highlight stories of life change, and even consider whether Joe Rogan might be inching closer to Jesus. This is a powerful conversation about legacy, revival, and using every platform to share the hope found in Christ.

Bitterness is a snare. It's poison we willingly drink and expect to have no effect on us. It is a sure sign that our eyes are not on the cross and the grace and mercy that has been given so freely to to us ... but on ourselves. In this sermon, Jacob Hryhorchuck gives us three ways we can walk free from bitterness. To choose to hold onto bitterness is to refuse to show others the same grace that the Lord extended to you. Letting it go though, that act restores us.
John 8:31-36 // To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” 34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. Freedom is a journey Ephesians 1:16-18 // I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people Know God Find Freedom Discover Purpose Make a Difference Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT) // God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. Philippians 2:12-13 (NLT) // Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Body, Soul, & Spirit Body - The Physical Soul - The mind, will, and emotions Spirit - The part of us that is like God. 1. Victory over sin. Sin: What I do to myself. Wounds: What others did to me. Romans 7:21-25 // So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! 2. Healing from wounds. Ephesians 4:26-27 (NLT) // And “don't sin by letting anger control you.” Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil. 3. Authority over the enemy. Ephesians 6:10-12 // Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Romans 8:1-2 (NLT) // So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. Romans 8:5-6 (NLT) // Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. Right relationships are the key. Proverbs 28:13 // He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. God will not heal what we conceal. 1 John 1:9 // If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. James 5:16 // Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. Water baptism Join the Church. Access groups.
