Have you ever eaten something you didn't want—just because it was there, or because you didn't want it to go to waste? In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, I'm sharing a deeply personal story about leftovers, silent resentment, and the invisible rules so many women live by without even realizing it. What started with a container of forgotten vegetables turned into an unexpected insight about worth, sacrifice, and why we often take the smaller portion—not just at the dinner table, but in life. If you've ever felt like you're always the one settling, always making do, always keeping things together while putting yourself last—this episode is for you. We'll explore the hidden beliefs that drive these choices, how they affect your health, and what you can do to start choosing differently. This conversation isn't about food. It's about self-respect, small rebellions, and learning how to want again. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN The hidden thought that drives many women to settle—for food, time, and energy How guilt and thrift are often mistaken for virtue (and how that messes with our habits) The subtle difference between choosing something and defaulting to it A simple reframe you can use to start honoring your preferences—without guilt RESOURCES The 8 Basic Habits of Healthy People Guide & Checklist Daring Greatly by Brené Brown Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/podcast/237

In this third episode of the Fatima Today martyrdom series, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran share the powerful story of Blessed Alexandrina da Costa, often called the “fourth seer of Fatima.” After a heroic act to defend her purity left her paralyzed, she embraced her suffering as a victim soul, offering it for the conversion of sinners. For the last 13 years of her life, she lived on the Eucharist alone, a living witness to Christ's Real Presence. Her deep devotion, mystical experiences, and life of sacrifice continue to inspire the Church today. We also share news about the upcoming Fatima pilgrimage, December 2–13, 2025, sponsored by the World Apostolate of Fatima.

In this second episode of the Fatima Today martyrdom series, hosted by Barb Ernster with Katie Moran, we look at “red martyrdom” giving one's life for Christ. On his feast day, we share the inspiring story of St. Maximilian Kolbe: from his childhood vision of two crowns, one white for purity and one red for martyrdom — to his brave fight against evil through his love for the Blessed Mother. You'll hear about his arrest for helping refugees, his time in Auschwitz, and the moment he offered to die in another man's place. Even in the starvation bunker, his days were filled with prayer, song, and a deep peace that only God can give. Stay tuned for the next episode — the touching story of Bl. Alexandrina da Costa, the “white martyr,” who offered her whole life to God through suffering.
Feast of Saint Lawrence, Martyr.
In this first episode of the Fatima Today martyrdom series, hosted by Barb Ernster with Katie Moran, learn what it means to be a martyr a witness to Christ and the three kinds the Church teaches: green, white, and red. Barb and Katie share the August 1917 story of the Fatima children, who were persecuted, jailed, and felt abandoned by their families, yet offered their suffering for sinners. Francisco encouraged them to accept this sacrifice and later felt deep joy and peace, the “martyr's grace.” They also reflect on the third secret, when the Angel calls out “penance, penance, penance,” and the vision of martyrs' blood falling on those walking toward the cross, a path that includes each of us. They encouraged people to turn their sufferings into sacrifice for sinners, and reminded that many are being called to be “green martyrs” by offering prayer and sacrifice for those who have no one to pray for them. Don't miss what's next — the powerful story of St. Maximilian Kolbe, the “red martyr” who gave his life, and the moving journey of Bl. Alexandrina da Costa, the “white martyr” and victim soul.

In this episode we consider the stories of Jonathan and Simon, finishing our study of 1 Maccabees (1 Maccabees 9:24-16:24), and then turn to the stories of martyrdom in 2 Maccabees 7. Our readings are clarified by passages from the Old Testament (1 Kings/3 Kingdoms 5:4, Micah 4:4, Zechariah 8:4, and Ezekiel 34:27) as well as from the New Testament (Hebrews 12; Romans 4:17). Intertwined narratives of war and peace on the grand scale, and personal martyrdom with the hope of resurrection, offer encouragement to us to remain faithful in our own day.

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Karl delves into the final words of the Apostle Paul from 2 Timothy 4, as he faces imminent death in a Roman prison. Reflecting on a life fully devoted to Christ, Paul charges Timothy—and all believers—to guard sound doctrine and guide others to it, even in a world that increasingly rejects truth. Pastor Karl unpacks Paul's call to "preach the word" with urgency, reprove and correct with patience, and do the work of an evangelist, sharing the good news of Jesus. He emphasizes living with no reserve, no retreat, and no regret, fighting the good fight, finishing the race, and keeping the faith. Through vivid imagery and personal anecdotes, Pastor Karl challenges listeners to embrace their God-given purpose, forgive as Christ forgave, and live a life that counts for the Kingdom, no matter the cost.Watch all our sermons on our YouTube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

On today's episode, I'm diving deep into what real soul care looks like—spoiler alert, it's not about pedicures, wine, or Target runs. We're exploring the powerful difference between selflessness and martyrdom, and how misunderstanding this can silently destroy our homes and bodies. I break down what true divine order means, how your God-given temperament differs from personality, and why putting yourself and God first isn't selfish—it's biblical. We also talk about boundaries, the myths of cultural self-care, and how real healing requires deep, holy, and gritty soul work. If you've ever found yourself drowning in “I'm fine,” this episode is for you. Let's dive in!Resources + LinksFollow Brooke on Instagram @brookerozzieJoin Faithfully Nourished today!

Pastor Kyle Young delivers a sermon from Acts 6, kicking off our series "Summer of the Spirit." Sermon originally recorded on July 13th, 2025.
Bhai Mani Singh Ji Shahid (c.?-c.1737) was an eminent 18th century Sikh commander and theologian who captained the Khalsa through the dark days of the post-Banda Singh era genocides. A sagacious diplomat and preacher, he converted thousands to the Sikh fold before being executed by Lahore's Muslim-Hindu combine.This episodes draws upon the detailed works of Bhai Ratan Singh Bhangu in his Sri Gur Panth Prakash (mid-19th century) and Giani Gian Singh in his Shamsher Khalsa (early 20th century) that themselves reiterate primary eyewitness accounts to derive lessons from last days of Bhai Mani Singh the martyr.
Father wants us to pay attention to today's martyrs and get the word out about them.
Scripture Focus: Acts 7 – The Martyrdom of StephenKey Themes:Stephen's Legacy: Stephen was a young man “full of grace,” chosen to serve the early Christian community. He was killed not for his works, but for speaking the truth of Jesus.Martyria = Witness: The Greek word for martyr also means witness. Stephen's death bore witness to the radical love of Christ—even forgiving his killers, just as Jesus did.Faith Isn't Always Safe: Jesus warned his followers that discipleship would be hard and would not guarantee safety. True faith is not a self-help strategy but a risky, countercultural way of living.Fear vs. Love: Fear often drives people to violence, division, and control. Love, by contrast, expands and frees us—even when it leads us into difficult places.Comfort Can Be a Temptation: The church today may be tempted to keep the “safe” parts of ministry—traditions, programs, professionalism—while leaving out Jesus, whose radical grace and call to servanthood makes people uncomfortable.A Call to Examine Ourselves: Like the religious leaders, we can be threatened by new movements of God's Spirit. Ask: What am I afraid of? Where am I resisting love's call because it feels unsafe?Faithfulness Over Safety: We are not promised safety. We are promised God's presence. Like Stephen, we can risk boldly for love, trusting we are always in God's hands.Reflection Questions:Where in my life am I playing it safe instead of following where love leads?How might fear be limiting my faith or my ability to witness to Christ?What does love require of me today—even if it feels risky or hard?Quote to Remember:“Of course he's not safe. But he is good.” – C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the WardrobeClosing Challenge:Don't tiptoe through life. Run, hop, skip, risk, and love boldly. Because even in the hard places, God is already there.
What does it mean to follow Jesus when its dangerous? In this weeks message, we look at the powerful witness of Stephenthe first Christian martyrwho refused to back down from the truth of the Gospel, even as it cost him his life. His story invites us to ask: Will we be bold enough to speak truth, live with grace, and forgive like Jesus, no matter the cost? https://churchlinkfeeds.blob.core.windows.net/notes/46163/note-237075.html

What happens when human systems fail us? Where do we turn when justice becomes injustice? Stephen's powerful story provides an answer that still resonates today.Standing before a hostile council with false witnesses arrayed against him, Stephen doesn't cower in fear but shines with supernatural radiance – "his face became as bright as an angel's." This first Christian martyr demonstrates what hope looks like when it's anchored not in human systems but in Christ himself.The irony is striking: Stephen faces accusations from the "synagogue of freed slaves" – people who had experienced persecution becoming persecutors themselves. His defense doesn't focus on self-preservation but on Israel's long history of rejecting God's chosen leaders. "You have betrayed and murdered the Righteous One," he boldly proclaims, seeing beyond his immediate circumstances to the eternal reality.When the council drags him out for execution, Stephen's final words mirror Christ's own: "Lord, don't charge them with this sin." Meanwhile, a young man named Saul watches approvingly – the future Apostle Paul, whose transformation would further demonstrate God's redemptive power.Stephen's name (Stephanos in Greek) means "crown," connecting him to every New Testament reference to crowns – from Jesus' crown of thorns to the crown of righteousness promised to believers. His story reminds us that being filled with the Spirit doesn't guarantee comfort but does provide supernatural perspective when systems turn against us.Are you facing opposition? Feeling the weight of broken systems? Stephen's witness challenges us to examine where our ultimate hope lies. Not in human institutions, but in "the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, in the power of the Holy Spirit, in the life-sustaining creation of God."Join us as we explore what it means to be a "Pentecost people" – defined not by human approval but by the same Spirit that allowed Stephen to see heaven opened even as stones rained down upon him.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, consider subscribing to Madison Church on your favorite podcast platform.

Contemporary motherhood narratives are all over the place. On the one hand, it is assumed that moms can't shower, do a serious Bible study, or go on a run and that it's normal to want to “escape” from our kids. On the other hand, the expectation to do it all can feel overwhelming.The internal pendulum of motherhood swings from striving to complaining and back again –sometimes in the course of an hour. How do we escape this cycle and reorient our parenting around Christ our Redeemer?

June 5th, 2025: St Boniface - Apostolic Age Means Risking Your Life for Conversions; St Boniface - Missionary Monk; St Boniface - Missionary Martyr; St Boniface - Dying to Save Souls; St Boniface - Serve with the Language of Martyrdom
When Ahab desires to purchase the vineyard of Naboth to convert it into a vegetable garden, Naboth faithfully refuses to sell the inheritance God has given to his family. Ahab's pity party is rebuked by his wicked queen, Jezebel, who takes matters into her own hands. Although outwardly she puts together what seems to be a legal scenario, her ungodly scheming and covetousness costs Naboth his life. The LORD sees the sins of Jezebel and Ahab and sends Elijah to prophesy their family's destruction. Ahab rightly mourns, and the word of the LORD graciously responds that the destruction of Ahab's family will be delayed until the days of Ahab's son. Rev. Tim Storck, pastor at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Chesterfield, MI, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Kings 21:1-29. To learn more about Good Shepherd, visit www.facebook.com/GoodShepChesterfield. "A Kingdom Divided” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Kings. The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ. 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. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article, "What if we stopped sacrificing ourselves to practice medicine?" She explores the pervasive culture of martyrdom and self-sacrifice within the medical field that often leads to physician burnout and a deep yearning for greater peace and purpose. Jessie shares her insights from coaching hundreds of physicians, emphasizing that the issue is not a lack of resilience but a system that discourages well-being. The conversation covers her "7 Cs of transformative change"—Courage, Creativity, Calm, Compassion, Capacity, Commitment, and Community—as a framework for physicians to reimagine their careers and lives. Jessie also recounts her personal journey from feeling depleted to creating impactful wellness initiatives, including retreats and coaching, to help fellow physicians reclaim joy, meaning, and alignment. The key takeaway is: Physicians deserve to prioritize their own well-being, and by embracing self-compassion and intentional change, they can move from a state of sacrifice to one of sustainable purpose and fulfillment, ultimately benefiting both themselves and their patients.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Apr 26, 2023 In this episode, Matthew Furlong and Breht dive into Mao Zedong's seminal 1957 speech-turned-text "On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People" - a critical text for any revolutionary serious about navigating the complexities of socialist construction. We break down Mao's dialectical method, his distinction between antagonistic and non-antagonistic contradictions, and how this framework helps us understand internal struggle within a revolutionary movement versus conflict with class enemies. From mass line to ideological struggle, from unity-struggle-unity to combating dogmatism and liberalism - we unpack Mao's sharp insights with a focus on applying them to today's political terrain. This is Marxism in motion. Theory as a weapon. Revolution as a science.
