Glad You Asked
Glenn Butner – Was Jesus a refugee?

Glad You Asked

According to the gospel of Matthew, shortly after Jesus was born an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream telling him to flee with his family to Egypt, since King Herod was going to try to kill the new baby. They stayed there, according to Christian tradition, until Herod had died and it was safe to return. This incident, popularly known as the “flight to Egypt,” has inspired an array of artistic depictions. It has also inspired a popular pro-immigration argument: Christians should welcome those seeking safety in their country, because Jesus, too, was a refugee. The Vatican has even published various documents citing Jesus' refugee status.  But was Jesus really a refugee? Would the Holy Family be granted refugee status, according to the laws and definitions of today? On this episode of the podcast, theologian and social ethicist Glenn Butner talks to the hosts about what it means to be a refugee, the significance of the flight to Egypt, whether it is accurate to call Jesus a refugee, and the theological implications of this topic.  Butner is an associate professor of theology at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and the author of multiple books on theology and social ethics, including Jesus the Refugee: Ancient Injustice and Modern Solidarity.  You can learn more about this topic and Butner's work in these links.  Jesus the Refugee: Ancient Injustice and Modern Solidarity, by D.

We get consumed with doing more, going nonstop, and pulling off flawless gatherings. Folks...let's lay that weapon down.

On this episode we will explore  a very simple concept, or rather a question that has made such a profound impact in my life since starting this work.  It's a question that makes you stop and when answered, puts you in control of whatever situation you may find yourself in.  Here it is:    How Do I  Want to Show Up?  Meaning: What is it I want to think? How do I want to feel, and how to I want to be?  (behave, act, respond, etc) in relation to the circumstances that I am in, or will be in.  For so long I believed that the way I felt on any given day really depended on the on what was happening around me; I thought that the circumstances or situations in my life determined how I felt, or how I responded.  When I discovered that my feelings had nothing to do with the circumstances in my life, and everything to do with the way I thought about these circumstances, it changed everything for me.  The only thing we can control is the way we show up/what meaning we give to that circumstance and how we respond.  and the way we respond to these circumstances will create the experience we have.In other words, we don't have control over our circumstances, but we do have control over how we respond.     We can intentionally DECIDE ahead of time what kind of experience we want, and create that experience no matter what the circumstance by answering the question, “How do I want to show up?”   Asking yourself this question Can be extremely useful when facing a new, or challenging experience.  As I work with clients, many times during our coaching sessions I will ask them this very question.   I do this for a few reasons:  1.    To help them understand that they have a choice in how they respond to their circumstances2.    To help them understand that they don't have to be a victim of their circumstances3.    To help them understand that they can create the experience they want to have4.    To help them be intentionalThis one question can change everything for you!To connect with Angela AdamsShoot me an email: angela@angelaadamscoaching.comTo get on my calendar, click on this link: https://coachwithangela.as.me/Visit my website to subscribe to my weekly email: https://www.angelaadamscoaching.com/To access your FREE guide to managing your emotions: https://www.angelaadamscoaching.com/lead-collectionI would appreciate your help!

In the wake of yet another mass shooting at a school, what is the state of the 2nd Amendment? What is the interface of modern politics with homelessness, addiction, mental illness, and crime?

Immersion (Piss Christ) is a 1987 photograph by Andres Serrano that helped Senator Jessie Helms realize his career-long dream of gutting the National Endowment for the Arts. It's a 60x40-inch Cibachrome print of a plastic Jesus figurine apparently submerged in the artist's own urine. It's a piece that is as controversial as it is misunderstood, and which highlights an important thing that many American adults forget: you have a right to free speech, not freedom from being offended. We also discuss exciting merchandising ideas!

Habits 2 Goals: The Habit Factor® Podcast with Martin Grunburg | Goal Achievement, Productivity & Success – Simplified

"Our energy flows where our attention goes..." Today's FAF (Frequently Asked Friday) is: "How can I overcome challenges of the past to focus on a bright future?" MG runs through five paradigm shifting mindsets —a recipe— for anyone to get over an unfortunate past situation and get back on track! Tips/Steps: 1) Meaning: What is the meaning your currently giving the situation? Can you spin it from defeating to empowering? 2) Time: Consider just how fluid/dynamic life is, specifically how quickly time moves and this helps you to realize and guide your metamorphosis! 3) Focus: Our focus determines how we feel. Direct your focus toward "things" bigger than you and away from yourself! How can you be of service to others? 4) HabitStrength!: Knowing that even discipline is a habit empowers you to realize that anything that is difficult now can and will become easier overtime with effort and practice. 5) Results!: Assess results continuously using the feedback not to beat yourself up but to inspire you.

International Rabbit Day is an international day which promotes the protection and care of rabbits both domestic and wild. International Rabbit Day is held on the fourth Saturday or Sunday of September; in 2017 it will be held on Saturday September 23rd. History The holiday was established by charitable organizations in order to attract much attention of the world public to the problems of the death of a large number of rabbits as a result of neighborhood with people. In huge quantities these humble animals are used by mankind in various fields of activity: for food, as a raw material for fur processing production, felt and knitting industries. And we shouldn’t forget about numerous scientific researches and diagnostic laboratories, where they are taken as experimental ones. Before we answer the question “What is the meaning of International Rabbit Day 2017?” I can’t but mention that in the world there are about 200 breeds of rabbits, and among them about fifty – are fluffy and kept as decorative as pets. On this day fans of rabbits are united into various clubs and institutions. The initiative people organize exhibitions and competitions of their eared pets. Meaning What does National Rabbit Day mean? Frankly speaking, it is up to you to decide whether to celebrate this holiday or not. However, all over the world on this day the specialists come forward with a request for humane treatment of rabbits during their breeding and regulating their numbers. They also call for a reduction in the use of fur from rabbits and their meat in public catering. These men and women take care of these creatures’ well-being and health. For the House rabbit society, when they celebrate International Rabbit Day, we think about the many ways that rabbits bring joy to our lives, and also the many ways in which they are harmed, by hunting, eating, medical experimentation, product testing, fur-farming, and living isolated lives in outdoor hutches. House Rabbit Society's mission states that "ALL rabbits are valuable as individuals, regardless of breed purity, temperament, state of health, or relationship to humans. The welfare of all rabbits is our primary consideration. In line with our mission, we are against the exploitation of rabbits...Domestic rabbits are companion animals and should be afforded at least the same individual rights, level of care, and opportunity for longevity as commonly afforded to dogs and cats who live as human companions." Are you looking for some fun ways to celebrate this special occasion? Here are a few ideas to get you started: ⦁ Spend time with your rabbit. This sounds so simple, but it’s so important! Take some extra time to enjoy your bunny’s company on this special day. ⦁ Share the joy. Rabbits have the universal talent of making people smile. Show someone your bunnies. ⦁ Host a bunny party. Hop to it and invite your friends to a rabbit-themed party with bunny décor, fun games and plenty of carrot cake for guests and carrots for your bunny. Ask each guest to bring a donation for your local small animal rescue. Events! House Rabbit Society's chapters will be holding a number of events to promote International Rabbit Day this year. We hope that you'll join us by attending one of them! International rabbit day is another chance to tell people how much joy this living being can bring to the house, and an ideal occasion to please wonderful long-eared pets. No mater how you will celebrate International Rabbit day, I hope that you reach out to friends and neighbors and let them know about your positive experiences with rabbits! Be sure to share the joy. Rabbits have the universal talent of making people smile, so be sure to spread some bunny sunshine by sharing cute photos on social media and put those cute faces in front of all your friends and family. http://www.rabbit.org/hrs-info/worldrabbitday.html https://whenisholiday.com/europe/when-is-rabbit-rabbit-day-2017.html https://community.petco.com/t5/Blog/How-to-Celebrate-Your-Bunny-on-International-Rabbit-Day/ba-p/62841   © Copyrighted
