About grief and how to handle death. Growing your no. Changing your pace. Being present. One thing at time. Maturing is not avoiding pain. It's learning how to walk through it without losing your soul.Tune into the premiere tonight at 7:30PM on the Rich Wilkerson Jr. YouTube Channel

David and Karen Mains discuss the effect that aging has on our prayer lives: “As we age, we should become more mature in the way we pray.”

Rohit Dhawan, group executive director of Artificial Intelligence at Lloyds Banking Group in the UK, wrote: Agentic AI goes beyond GenAI, enabling autonomous action, workflow orchestration, and real‑time decision-making at scale. He goes on to predict that 2026 marks a turning point as agentic AI moves from experimentation to enterprise-wide deployment across financial services.In this context, CISOs and CIOs in Asia may want to consider prioritising AI-driven identity governance for autonomous environments, in the process treating agentic AI as first-class identities requiring least-privilege enforcement, continuous behavioural monitoring, lifecycle visibility, and human-in-the-loop controls. Maturing understanding of regulations will drive compliance efforts to mitigate shadow agents, rogue actions, excessive privileges, and accountability gaps in securing enterprise IT infrastructure.In this PodChats for FutureCISO, Matthew Graham, Chief Security Officer for Asia Pacific at Okta, shares his thoughts on emphasising practical, regulation-grounded decision-making on agentic AI adoption.1.       How ca n we quickly evaluate if our current identity and access management systems are ready to handle agentic AI as independent actors?2.       What key principles from Singapore's Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI should we adopt first to set safe boundaries for autonomous agents?3.       Drawing from our experience with the proliferation of Shadow GenAI, how do we prevent shadow or over-privileged AI agents from gaining too much access and causing unauthorised actions?4.       What basic steps ensure every agentic AI has its own clear, trackable identity with proper permissions and audit trails?5.       What practical approaches manage the full lifecycle of short-lived agent identities—from creation and delegation to safe removal?6.       There is a possibility that many organisations don't have the experience or capability to follow through your recommendations. How do CISOs and CIOs have appropriate governance for their business and workflow?7.       How can we add simple behavioural monitoring and emergency stop controls to catch rogue or unexpected agent actions without slowing operations?8.       Looking forward, how might new standards and Asia's push for sovereign AI influence our long-term plans to balance safe innovation with compliance?9.       Agentic AI is predicted to be the IT project of 2026. For organisations that have decided to deploy agentic AI, any security recommendations to ensure resilience?

Are companies really retreating from ESG, or is the discipline evolving? PRWeek's latest podcast takes a look.Joining the latest episode of Beyond the Noise are Sarita Shah, senior vice-president at Weber Shandwick; and Sarah Ogden, chief client officer for Europe at Zeno Group.Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen on your favourite platform.Speaking to PRWeek UK editor John Harrington, the guests assess how companies' approaches to ESG [environmental, social, and governance] policies really changed in 2025 amid the so-called ‘retreat from ESG' in the second Trump presidency.This includes looking at regional differences between America, Europe and elsewhere, and asking whether it is ‘performative' ESG that has been curbed.The role of comms in ESG, and how comms departments are embedding the skills, are also discussed. The duo examine major changes so far this year – and predict what lies ahead. They also question whether the ESG acronym will survive in the future, and discuss whether comms should ‘own' the genre.Shah and Ogden begin the podcast by looking at the biggest lessons from the World Economic Forum in Davos – and how the industry should adapt to the ‘new world order'.

2026 marks my 13th year of mediumship development. In this episode, I reflect on what has truly sustained me on this path — not the phenomena, not the validation, not the performance — but the maturation process of ego, soul, and service. Mediumship is not about becoming special. It is about becoming spiritually mature. Through the lens of the energy centers, I explore how mediumship development mirrors human development: • Root — belonging, inherited beliefs, humiliation and dignity • Sacral — emotional awareness, “Is this mine?”, energetic repair • Solar Plexus — qualifiers, authority, ego maturation   Spirit School Retreat June 2026 Applications are Open! https://www.daniellesearancke.com/spirit-school-retreat

“Chosen Realm” 20th-anniversary reflections The Enterprise crew already knows that there is something unusual about the spheres scattered around the Delphic Expanse, but the extent to which some locals hold them sacred comes into focus when they bring aboard of a group of aliens who find scientific examination of the globes to be paramount to sacrilege. As these extremists attempt to commandeer the ship, Archer and his crew learn that they are in conflict with a rival group who view the spheres in a slightly different way, with extraordinary consequences for their shared home world. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 3 with “Chosen Realm” as we discuss its real-world parallels and how it ramps up the mystery of the Expanse while propelling us into the second half of the season.

This week Steve taught out of Hebrews 1:1-4 and went deeper into the background of Hebrews and what the process of maturing in our faith looks like. 

Wednesday January 21, 2026II Week After EpiphanyGrowing Forward in Faith and TruthToday's readings challenge us to consider how we respond to both blessing and responsibility. In Genesis 9:18–29, we see the brokenness that still lingers even after a new beginning, reminding us that transformation is a journey and character matters in how we treat one another. Hebrews 6:1–12 urges believers to move beyond spiritual infancy, pressing on toward maturity with diligence, perseverance, and hope anchored in God's promises. And in John 3:22–36, John the Baptist models humility and clarity, declaring, *“He must increase, but I must decrease,” pointing us again to Jesus as the One who speaks the words of God and brings eternal life.This episode invites us to grow forward in faith—leaving behind complacency, embracing maturity, and joyfully aligning our lives so that Christ is exalted above all else.

Jonathan Kerhoulas. Matthew 28:16-20.

Parenting has its eye towards producing future adults. One powerful adult forming tool is instilling good habits in our kids. A well parented habit can pay dividends in the long run by building the muscle memory to do what otherwise would not be natural. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Brian Sutter examples this by suggesting three habits that will produce very welcome attributes in our children as adults. Show notes:  Healthy habits can help grow and mature our children. And yet, to do this, the habit needs to grow and mature with the child. Three examples are given.  Example 1: Goal: To produce thankful adults.  Habit – Say, "Thank you."  Growing habit – Say, "Thank you for _________."  Maturing habit – Say, "Thank you for _________ that is a gift to me."  Example 2: Goal: To produce a humble adults.  Habit – Say, "I'm sorry."  Growing habit – Say, "I'm sorry I ________."  Maturing habit – Say, "I __________, how did that make you feel? I'm sorry."  Example 3: Goal: To produce adults who are good listeners.  Habit – Say, "Tell me what you think."  Growing habit – Say, "Tell me what you think, I have a lot to learn."  Maturing habit – Say, "Tell me what you think, I have a lot to learn and value your insights." 

My guest today is Dr. Robert Melillo. Dr. Melillo shares his 35-year journey from athletic injuries and chiropractic roots to developmental cognitive neuroscience and founder of the Melillo Method. Driven by his own children's challenges and a deep commitment to preserving their extraordinary gifts, he explains Autism as a treatable developmental imbalance rooted in brain immaturity—caused by retained primitive reflexes, disrupted right-left asymmetry, and poor transition from short-range to long-range connectivity. Emphasizing a bottom-up, root-cause approach over symptom management, he describes how remediating reflexes, stimulating right-brain activity, and balancing networks can unlock speech, motor control, and potential in non-speaking individuals—highlighting the human brain's unique evolutionary vulnerability and adaptability while offering hope for meaningful change without erasing unique brilliance.Dr. Melillo https://www.drrobertmelillo.comYT https://www.youtube.com/@themelillomethodInstagram https://www.instagram.com/drrobertmelillo/White Board Series: Serotonin's Role in Development for Sensory Maps (not mood) https://youtu.be/Pbovstb82i4White Board Series: Basal Ganglia (Go/No-GO), Neural Correlates, & "Motivation" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTW8CSPVEGcWhite Board Series: Basal Ganglia No-Go area & Arkeypallidial Cells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHZ_5HthUWsDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autismFig Tree Christian Golf Apparel & Accessories, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://figtreegolf.com/?ref=autism0:00 Dr. Robert Melillo5:24 The Nature of Gifts & Vulnerabilities with Autism15:26 The Evolution of the Human Brain & Bipedalism; CNS is to move the living organism; Left Brain, Right Brain25:20 Functional Connectivity & Movements; Left Brain-Right Brain36:46 The Immature Brain; Autism means "Self"38:54 Interventions for Maturing the Brain & Movements42:46 The Melillo Method & Upstream Individualized Interventions47:47 GI and the Nervous Systems; Excitation/Inhibition52:21 Melillo Method55:40 Giving a Voice to Non-Verbals; Sensory Map, Somatosensory & Homunculus1:03:00 The Basal Ganglia & Motor Movements1:06:34 Bridging Clinical & Neuroscience Research & MethodsX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

"I will always go back to the well, and I will write until I die," says Jason Brown, author of Character Witness.Jason Brown is here. He is a brilliant short story writer and the author of the memoir Character Witness (University of Nebraska Press). It's an incredible book and we recorded this conversation at the end of October as the fourth and final LIVE podcast of the year at Gratitude Brewing here in Eugene. Jason, as luck would have it, teaches at the University of Oregon in its writing department, forging the young minds who will publish in the most obscure lit journals, the future bitter podcasters of America, sorry, speaking from experience. I'm projecting, OK?But thanks to Jason and his clout with the University, we had our biggest gathering of the year, live and in person. There's something pretty rad about the in-person jam.Jason can be found at writerjasonbrown.com. He writes fiction and nonfiction and was a Stegner Fellow and Truman Capote Fellow at Stanford University where he taught as a Jones Lecturer. He has received fellowships from Yaddo and Macdowell colonies. He taught for the MFA program at the University of Arizona and directs the MFA program at the U of O here in Eugene. He's the author of the collection Driving the Heart and Other Stories, Why the Devil Chose New England For His work and his work as also appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Harper's, Best American Short Stories, The L.A.

Real love is often not what we think it is and it takes some time to understand it fully. We build all kind of neuroses in our best efforts to experience love and don't reach the point where we experience boundless unconditional love in its true form. Equanimity, love, compassion and appreciative joy are the four states of divine abidings that spontaneously arise in us as a reflection of the degree to which we remove the hindrances that bring us to suffering. We can actively mature our capacity for love. This is the path of love. 

"Do not let me eat the sweet morsels that the enemy sets before me to trap me in anger and gossip..." Pastor CheriPastor Cheri is coming with an amazing word this week, taken from Psalm 141. This season has been difficult for her, and for so many of us. Difficult seasons often signal immense growth. This week we will be diving into this subject of how the Lord matures us through those seasons, using others to teach and reprove us, and how we should not be drawn into the traps the enemy lays for us to draw us into division.Show Notes: Psalm 141Exodus 29:391 Kings 18:36Support the showEmail: sheispodcast@refugecity.churchInstagram: she_is_podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheispodcastrccYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sheispodcast4645

Scott StrickmanSermon Series: Maturing in ChristColossians 1:24-2:5 (ESV)24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.2:1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments. 5 For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.Sermon OutlineA life that deepens in Christ includes struggling (1:29-2:1) as part of the maturing process.1. Proclaiming Christ1:28 “ Him we proclaim…”2:2-3 “God's mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”2.

Maturing in Christv28 “…that we may present everyone mature in Christ.”v27 “this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”Prayer of ConfessionOur great God, you have made available to us all the riches of wisdom and knowledge. Yet we have not trusted you, walked with you, or loved you. We confess our sins and turn to you for forgiveness. We have set our hearts on earthly treasures while neglecting the treasure of Christ. We have been more concerned with our bodies than with the body of Christ, your church. Comfort has been a greater priority than love for others. We have been childish, but not child-like. We thank you that through the remarkable love of Christ we have the hope of glory. Cleanse and renew us. Sustain us by the powerful working of your Spirit so that we have strength to walk in a manner worthy of Christ. Amen.Questions for ReflectionWhat forms of suffering do you assume are a normal part of life? What forms of suffering do you not understand, or leave you confused or make it difficult to believe in God?What encouragement can readers of Colossians take from the costly sufferings Paul endured in order to bring the gospel to us and to offer teaching and help?Why is it important to stay focused on Christ? What is challenging about remaining focused on Christ?How does a person “look to Christ”? What should you do?How can challenges push you grow? What kinds of trials should Christians expect to be part of their growing process?How can you draw from the power of God to be sustained when enduring difficulties?Is there anything you are doing or failing to do that is hindering your maturing in Christ? What can you start to do differently?

What forms of suffering do you not understand, or leave you confused or make it difficult to believe in God?What encouragement can readers of Colossians take from the costly sufferings Paul endured in order to bring the gospel to us and to offer teaching and help?Why is it important to stay focused on Christ? What is challenging about remaining focused on Christ?How does a person “look to Christ”? What should you do?How can challenges push you grow? What kinds of trials should Christians expect to be part of their growing process?How can you draw from the power of God to be sustained when enduring difficulties?Is there anything you are doing or failing to do that is hindering your maturing in Christ? What can you start to do differently?

Though Paul primarily addresses aspiring church leaders in 1 Timothy 3:4–5, nevertheless every Christian should aim for a biblically blameless household—one that is well-ordered to the glory of God. Christ-motivated cosmos rather than chaos is to characterise our homes.

In this episode, I share what it means to step fully into your slut era inside a committed relationship (or in singlehood). I talk about why this energy is so powerful, how it revived my own desire, and how reclaiming the word slut can transform sex that feels flat, disconnected, or routine. In this episode, I talk about: What a “slut era” looks like in a monogamous marriage A new, empowering definition of the word slut Why long-term relationships often dull desire — and how slut energy reignites it Releasing shame, body judgment, and the “respectable woman” identity The difference between sensation and true erotic power Awakening the slut archetype for creativity, freedom, and wild pleasure Making space for taboo fantasies without fear or self-judgment How erotic energy boosts confidence, vitality, and relational intimacy Who Slut Academy is for and why community matters in this work JOIN THE WAITLIST HERE and get amazing discounts and bonuses PLUS my exclusive erotic diaries newsletter! https://www.erika-alsborn.com/s-academy-waitlist Related episodes: 25: Slut Academy 26: The Slut Archetype – what and who is she and why she'll revolutionize your sex life! 97: Erotic expansion – understanding and playing with domination and submission 34: The importance of imperfect pleasure and sex

This week, Jake and Bob discuss identity: why it matters, how it is formed, and its role in the healing process. We live in a fallen world with an enemy who spreads lies that can send us down paths far from the truth of who we are. Through questions like "Who am I?", "Whose am I?", and "Do I belong?" Jake and Bob explore how to reclaim our God-given identity and rest in the freedom of living in that truth.   Key Points: Finding your identity in Christ and living out of that truth is part of the healing process We begin the search for our identity in childhood and continue to deepen it (whether in truth or lies) throughout life Because we live in a fallen world, our identity can easily be influenced by the lies we believe about ourselves, others, and the world around us Healing is more than the relief from pain. Maturing in our God-given identity is actually a form of healing We become what we believe we are. We come to know ourselves and learn to love ourselves as we learn who we are in God There is value and healing to be found in the journey of finding our identity in God   Resources: Jake's Identity Course (Use the code RESTORE10 at checkout for 10% your enrollment)  The Chastity of Jesus and the "Refusal to Grasp"   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 08:05 "What Am I?" and " Who Am I?" 21:58 The Struggle Against My God-given Identity 29:34 Do I Belong? 39:57 The Path to Finding Your Identity 48:12 Maturing Within Your Identity 55:23 The Purity of Love   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Ephesians 4:11–16. Maturity in Christ is formed through devotion, tested in hidden seasons, and strengthened in community. God grows us so we no longer live confused or immature, but steady, clear, and whole. In this weeks Leadership Lessons Pastor Kevin Myers teaches how maturity refines the heart, restores our view of God and trains us to fight the right battles.

In this message, Pastor Nate challenges those who say we are discipleship of Jesus to grow in our spiritual maturity.

In the midst of Cross Encounter, Nancy shares a powerful call to maturity for sons of God. From Texas to Ireland, producers are being sent to serve as the Father expands His work across nations. But this message goes deeper—it's an invitation to live as a son who refuses to stand in self-preservation or remain hidden behind a caricature. Nancy reminds us: if we are truly born of incorruptible seed, we are not meant to stay the same. This is a call to go into the ground, to let go of false self-images and cultural Christianity, and to emerge in the form needed for where the Father is taking us. Maturing into martyrdom isn't about suffering for suffering's sake—it's about becoming a living witness, one who will not shrink back, settle, or self-protect. You were born of Him, for Him, to live with Him. And this episode will challenge you to move forward in that identity—fully, wholly, and without excuse. Here we go. Thanks for Listening!

Audio Recording Sermon OutlineSpeaker: Rev. Scott StrickmanSermon Series: Maturing in ChristColossians 1:1-8 (ESV)1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,2 To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae:Grace to you and peace from God our Father.3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, 5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth, 7 just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf 8 and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.Sermon OutlineWith Christ as our guide we can enter Colossians with expectations of maturing and fruitfulness.1. Who is this letter from?vv5-6 “the truth, the gospel, which… is bearing fruit”v1 “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God”2. Who is this letter for?v2 “To the saints and faithful brothers” v2 “Grace to you and peace from God our Father”v2 “in Christ at Colossae”Prayer of ConfessionOur Father, forgive us. We have squandered the grace and peace you have granted to us. We have not lived holy lives. Forgive every corrupt thought, word or action. Forgive us for how we have not honored you or our neighbors. We thank you for eternal life that is ours in Christ, for the forgiveness of all that is past, and our hope for all that is ahead. Sanctify us by your grace. Amen.Questions for ReflectionAs we enter the book of Colossians, what do you hope you can gain from the book? How might time in this particular book help you grow?What power does the Gospel message have? How is it that the “good news” about Jesus can be transformative? Can you think of any examples of the gospel “bearing fruit”?What can you infer about Colossians from Paul identifying himself as a messenger of Christ? Are these simply his thoughts? How can you learn from Christ as you read the book?What practices could enhance what you get from a sermon? What things can you do prior to church? What can you do during the sermon? What might you do after the sermon?How do your own attitudes and expectations shape how you engage reading the Bible? What changes if the reader understands themselves to be a saint, set apart and part of the family of God?What does the greeting “grace and peace from God our Father” convey?What does it mean to be “in Christ”? How are Christians “in Christ” while also being in a particular physical location? What are some implications of being “in Christ” wherever you are?How can you experience eternal life today? How is the gospel enough for today's needs, and how can you be more present, with God, in each moment?Are there ways you are stuck in the past? How can the gospel free you? Are you anxious about the future? How does Christ provide strength for today? How can you live wisely in the moment without be overwhelmed with trying to control the future?

In this episode, we talk about what it means to weather the storms of life well. Everyone experiences difficult moments throughout their lives and these storms come in all shapes and sizes. In each one, we have the opportunity to respond from a place of truth and peace instead of fear. We share practical ways we've learned to weather the storms in our own lives, from simplifying life to immersing ourselves in Scripture. We also explore how pain, though difficult, can lead us into deeper healing and communion with God. No matter what you're facing, you are not alone—He is near, and so are we.    Heather's One Thing - Strengthen Yourself in the Lord by Bill Johnson  Heather's Other One Thing - Same God (feat Jonsal Barriente) from Elevation Worship Sister Miriam's One Thing - Pints with Aquinas | What to Do When Marriage Gets Hard (Jason and Crystalina Evert) Michelle's One Thing - Healed and Restored Nonprofit   Other Resources Mentioned:  Carmelite Sisters of The Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles Searching for and Maintaining Peace book study Be Transformed book study   Journal Questions: How have I been making decisions out of fear and overwhelm?

Tom Welling (Smallville, Lucifer) joins us this week for a reflective and honest conversation about the weight of carrying a legacy role, the pressure that came with it, and how his relationship with Smallville has evolved over the years. Tom talks about the unexpecte fallout from fame at a young age, the creative safety he's found on set, and the realization that growth often comes from letting go. We also talk about the illusion of needing to respond, passing the torch to new generations, and why life happens from you, not to you. Thank you to our sponsors:
