This message is from our "Ecclesiastes" series.In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon sets out to discover if “life under the sun” is truly worth living.  He goes on a journey throughout the book and finds himself originally declaring that everything under the sun is meaningless. Solomon is overwhelmed with the truth that death is coming for every person, and that nothing worked for, earned, or pursued seems to have any lasting value.  It's not until Solomon starts focusing on things “beyond the sun” that he recognizes life's true meaning and purpose. He ultimately discovers that the whole purpose of man is to enjoy life and all its blessings, to live by faith, and to prepare for eternity by fearing God and keeping his commandments. Crosspoint City is one church in multiple locations and we exist to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Landon and Rebecca are joined by a bookclub friend, Steph, to discuss the concept of living a "meaningless" life without the confines of a high demand, high control religion. We base our discussion around the fantastic book, "The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence: Ideas From Philosophy That Change the Way You Think" by Robert Pantano. Each of us share personal stories of finding that outside the structure of religion, "meaningless" becomes a wonderful journey of discovery and self awareness.This was a great conversation that I'm sure will resonate with all of you too!***How to DONATE to Mormonish Podcast: If you would like to help financially support our podcast, you can DONATE to support Mormonish Podcast here: Mormonish Podcast is a 501(c) (3) https://donorbox.org/mormonish-podcast ****WE HAVE MERCH! **** If you'd like to purchase Mormonish Merch, you can visit our Merch store here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/mormonishmerch We appreciate our Mormonish viewers and listeners so much!

Thanks for the invite. Who's coming?When we receive an invite to an all gay event, what's the first thing we do?Sure, we look at the theme of the party, the location, the date, but those are usually secondary considerations to the big question, “who's going?”This is really a multiprong question: Will I feel comfortable with these guys? Is there anyone there I'd like to to date or fuck? Will anyone there want to date or fuck me? Will these guys bore me to death?Basically, am I physically and intellectually attracted to the guys who are going, and will they have a hankering for what I have to offer?The current political consensus of our people demands inclusiveness. As I understand the edict, nothing should prevent us from inviting every type of human expression (body shape/size, sex, gender identity, ability, color, or socioeconomic background) to our event.That's “inclusive,” and it's the right thing to do. Right?Is that what you're thinking as you scroll the invite list? I'm guessing it's not your highest priority.Are we already breaking the rules by just inviting gay men? Of course we are. And, of course, we'll keep doing it.Because that's how diversity works, we can't have cultural diversity if we don't have a diversity of cultures.Gay male culture is defined by our same sex attraction for one another. Yes, we share many other common interests, like show tunes, but no attribute is as universal as our same sex attraction. That aspect is intrinsic to our gay get-togethers. It's often the centerpiece, whether overtly recognized or not.This causes a conundrum for those who want to create an affinity group (exclusive space) and your friend group is a mixed crowd, many of whom will not qualify, when one of the aims of the gathering is to provide space for erotic connections.This creates an awkward challenge as I continue my experiment of finding heart-centered connection instead of churning through meaningless sexual encounters.Meaningless sex is a simple endeavor: We both decide if we want what the other guy has. We both give and take. Done. Goodbye forever.Heart-centered connections that include an erotic overlay are vastly more complicated, mainly because we genuinely want the best for guys we care about and don't want to add any negative baggage to the often heavy psychic load many of us are already carrying.“You're not invited,” or “Thank you, but I don't want to dance with you,” creates tension.Before I move on, let me be clear that there are all kinds of other “gay” events (that are usually not all gay men) where this is completely a non-issue. Events like banquette fundraisers, which are a whole culture themselves, where your donation is your most attractive feature; gay sports teams, where your athletic ability is the premium feature; and political clubs, where your connections, ability to mesmerize a room, and access to cash make you politically attractive.When a gay event also includes the possibility of erotic connection, the politically correct mantra of everyone, everywhere, all the time, or else you're a scumbag bigot, wears thin.A problem with the “everyone is equally beautiful” mantra is that it is simply not true. Physical beauty is determined by millions of years of evolution, and a fat dollop of conditioning received via social media. You may want Ryan Gosling to want you back (I know I do), but giving him all your attention deprives you of the opportunities available to you with other guys–the guys who are aesthetically similar to you.Another hard reality is to be realistic about whom you have access to on a physical level. “LA is a city of 10s looking for an 11,” was a line in an old gay movie called Latter Days that still rings true. All those 10s are wasting time.Anyway, for those of you planning or attending sexually social events, here are a couple of ideas you can try out to make the gatherings more fulfilling.* Admit that private affinity groups exist and honor people's decision to have them. This means finding it in your heart to cheer them on for taking the risk and making an effort to create such a group, even when you are not invited. There is a sex party in LA that only allows men under 40. I don't qualify, but I remember when I was under 40, I would have LOVED such a party. So good on them. * Learn how to say “no” and hear “no” with grace. These boundary-setting techniques are something most of us were never taught. I know I had to learn them the hard way after years of having sex with guys just to be nice. Now, as my beauty recedes like the tide, I'm getting more opportunities to see and hear “no,” which I gotta say is very often done with grace. And it's still not easy to receive. Processing rejection gracefully is work. But it's worth it, so we can keep being friends.More about “No.”Both receiving and communicating “no” have their own challenges.Receiving “No.”Receiving “no” gracefully starts as a passive action (just don't cause a scene), but then requires the active internal work of processing rejection. That's big.Metabolizing that moment is essential to not ruining the rest of your night.Unless you've reached a permanent state of Enlightenment (Samadi), you will most likely need to process a pretty heavy feeling.For me, that feeling usually manifests in the gut, just below my rib cage. Interestingly, that is the home of our third chakra, the home of personal power, confidence, self-esteem, and willpower. Having your desirability and viability challenged is particularly challenging for men. No matter how gay you think you are, as a man, you have been conditioned from birth to confront assaults on your power, confidence, and self-esteem. So it's likely to elicit an aggressive reaction from your ego.Love is the only way out of this. It allows you to respond from your higher self as opposed to reacting from your ego.First, love yourself: remember you are a Spark of the Divine. You deserve care and attention. If you're not receiving it from pretty boy X, no matter what your ego tells you, let it go. Get out your love radar instead. Where is the love, gurl? Follow the ping leading you to where the love is. That is most likely a friend who, trust me, will love commiserating with you about being shot down.Second, and this is much harder, try to recognize and love the Spark of the Divine in the person who rejected you. I know it's hard with pretty people, but try. He has his own path, and he's exercising his agency, which, I hope, is what you would like to do as well.Communicating “No.”Communicating “no” requires you to love yourself enough to honor and implement your boundaries, while, at the same time, using as much empathy as possible to let your fellow gay down easy.Keep your distance. When you want to fuck a guy, one way to show your interest is to stand unnecessarily close. It works. And, doing the opposite —keeping your distance —works just as well.If you are in a group with him, like a naked game night or a group at the club, focus your attention on someone else. Make space between you and him. No touching. Turn your back. Go to the bathroom, the bar, or simply walk away.Have things gotten a little handsy? Nonchalantly move his hand. Like you're moving something out of the way for him. Oh, here, let me put that where it belongs. Do it with your eyes on his and he'll get the message.Phrases I've heard which allowed us both to keep our dignity are, “I'm good.” (after touching a guy on the dance floor), “I don't like being touched.” (probably a lie, but made it his problem), and “I'm not here for that.”Is he pushy? Is he an ass? Moving his hand with a slight crushing squeeze conveys the message. And, looking him directly in the eyes and saying, “I'm not into this; please move on.”Exercise your agency, your ability to make a choice. Don't expect him to read your mind. He may already be picking out cake toppers for your wedding cake. He may be too drunk or high. Or, he may be misreading your good nature as an invitation. When you get the vibe it's time to move on, do it. Do not feel obligated to stay with anyone you're not feeling it with.And. Do NOT give him your phone number or social media account. Unless, of course, you'd like to string out the long good-bye for days, weeks, or months.Going Deep: A Gay Guide to Reality is a reader-supported publication.

Should We Have Kids in a Dark World?Big Questions: Is it wise or faithful to bring children into a world filled with suffering, evil, and uncertainty?Am I making life decisions from faith or fear?“Many Christians today are wrestling with fear, disillusionment, and sorrow over the state of the world.”Common concerns: evil, school shootings, cultural decline, financial uncertainty, environmental decayAffirm that this is a valid and deeply emotional question.2. Why Are People Afraid to Have Children Today? List cultural and global concernsReflect on emotional and spiritual reasons:Fear of sufferingResponsibility for shaping a soulHopelessness about the futureScripture Reflection:Ecclesiastes 1:2, 14 – “Meaningless! Everything is meaningless... I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.” Even in Scripture, people wrestled with despair over a broken world.3. God's View of Children in a Broken World A. Children Are a BlessingPsalm 127:3–5 – “Children are a heritage from the Lord... Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.”God calls children a gift, not a burden.B. God Brings Life in DarknessGenesis 1:28 – “Be fruitful and multiply...” (original calling)God didn't rescind this even after the Fall.Jeremiah 29:4–7 – While in exile in Babylon, God tells Israel to build homes, plant gardens, marry, and “increase in number.” Even in dark times, God calls His people to live fruitfully.C. Children as Light-BearersPhilippians 2:15 – “...that you may become blameless and pure, children of God... in a warped and crooked generation. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.”Our children can be raised to reflect light, not just survive the darkness.4. God Has Not Given Us a Spirit of Fear 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.”Fear is not a trustworthy counselor—faith is.God doesn't promise ease, but He promises presence.5. What About Wisdom & Discernment? It's not a sin to delay or decide against having children, if done in prayer and obedience, not fear or despair.Romans 14:23 – “...everything that does not come from faith is sin.”Decisions should be rooted in peace and trust in God's will for your life.6. Legacy & Mission in Dark Times Children are disciples in our homes.Parenting is missionary work.Malachi 2:15 – “Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.” God desires the next generation to know Him.7. Closing EncouragementQuestion for you to reflect on as we close…..How might God want to use future generations to redeem the brokenness in our world today?We don't bring children into the world because the world is good— We bring them into the world because God is good.Whether you raise spiritual children, foster, adopt, or give birth—your legacy in Christ is secure when you walk in faith.Scripture:Isaiah 60:1–2 – “Arise, shine, for your light has come... darkness covers the earth... but the Lord rises upon you.”https://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy, #marriagecounseling, #parenting, #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity

What you see online is not real. This has long been a reliable axiom for information consumption on the internet. But social media and SEO marketers have long relied on their engagement metrics as an exception to that rule—critical quantitative data that can't be faked and can be leveraged to demonstrate the value of a campaign or piece of content. Except in 2025, it's just not reliable any more. That is because sophisticated operations called "bot farms" have built swarms of networked smart phones designed to mimic the organic engagement that drives social media algorithms. At a command, these bot farms can create a cascade of authentic-seeming engagement that's nearly indistinguishable from the real thing, catapulting selected posts to the top of social media feeds. International state actors can wage propaganda wars. Financial influencers can pump up the value of assets they hold. And, more and more, global brands can leverage bot activity to drive their messaging to the top of feeds, manufacture social proof, and astro-turf the impression of favorability. So in this episode, we're talking to digital PR expert Eric Schwartzman, whose firm helps clients with brand management, reputation monitoring, crisis management, and corporate communications. He also recently published an expose for Fast Company on the rise of bot farms and its implications. Together, we'll learn how bot farmers manipulate the algorithm, what means are available to detect inauthentic activity, and why social media networks are slow to react. Plus, we'll explore the moral quandary that social media and SEO marketers increasingly face in this brave new world: If everyone else is using bots to drive engagement... should you?

NDAs, or non-disclosure agreements, will not protect Sean "Diddy" Combs in his criminal trial because NDAs are primarily civil agreements designed to prevent parties from disclosing certain information publicly. However, they do not shield individuals from testifying in criminal cases. Criminal law supersedes any private agreements, as the government has a vested interest in prosecuting crimes and ensuring justice. Therefore, if someone has relevant knowledge about criminal activities, they can still be compelled to testify, even if they have signed an NDA.In the case of Cassie Ventura, although she signed an NDA as part of her settlement with Diddy, this does not prevent her from being called to testify in a criminal trial. NDAs cannot override a subpoena or prevent someone from providing testimony if it pertains to criminal conduct. The court can compel Ventura to testify about any relevant events, even if they were covered by the terms of the NDA, as the pursuit of justice in criminal cases takes precedence over any civil agreement. Thus, despite the NDA, Cassie can be legally obligated to provide testimony in the ongoing criminal proceedings against Diddy.(commercial at 7:57)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Cassie may be called to testify at Diddy trial despite signing NDA, lawyer says | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Why Your Purpose is a Cosmic Joke

Okay, sweet one, let's talk about the grand lie of having a purpose. Because hasn't everyone, at some point, stared into their organic kale salad and wondered, "WHY am I here?"Really, isn't that THE question? We're all chasing that deeper something, the elusive unicorn of purpose, because, well, we think it equals happiness. Glitter cannons and rainbows!Basically, aren't we all just hunting for joy through our jobs, our love lives, and maybe that overpriced yoga retreat? Because let's be honest, if those things led to misery, we'd be binge-watching Netflix instead. (Okay, some days we do both.)So, how do you actually find this magical life purpose?If you boil down every self-help book ever written (and I've read a LOT), two ideas bubble to the surface, like so much kombucha. They create two distinct, shall we say, *vibes* about Life.Vibe #1: Purpose is “Out There!”This is the story we're constantly sold, the narrative with all the bells and whistles. It's the idea that purpose and happiness are about *doing* and *getting*.What exactly are you supposed to be getting?Well, according to the marketing gurus (who are probably sipping martinis on a yacht somewhere), it's always - More! Better!More experiences, more influence, a passive income stream that makes your eyes water, a better house with a walk-in closet for your shoes, a better job that feeds your soul AND pays the bills, better sex (because, duh), and for the truly enlightened, a better, more Instagrammable spirituality.It's always *better* than what you've got right now, darling. But here's the cosmic joke: More and Better *never* actually deliver. As that wise old grump Ecclesiastes put it: "Meaningless! Meaningless! Everything is meaningless! But…life is still amazing.” (Even he couldn't help but throw in an "amazing" at the end!)We all kinda know this, right? We feel it in our bones after every online shopping spree. Still, those clever ads keep whispering promises. So, we jump back on the hamster wheel, convinced *this time* it'll be different. A new job! A soulmate who understands our obsession with miniature dachshunds! A truly transformative experience involving a llama!The catch? It's always a future promise. "Once I _______, then I'll find purpose/happiness/meaning."Once I quit my soul-crushing job, I'll finally be happy.Once I meet Mr./Ms. Right, then I'll know what love REALLY is.The future, my friend, is perpetually "tomorrow." That's the lie behind Vibe #1. The “hedonic treadmill” will leave you exhausted and feeling slightly used. Vibe #2: Your Purpose and Happiness are *Here, Now* Because Honey, *You ARE* the Purpose.The mind really throws a tantrum at this one based on how we've been programmed to have a “PURPOSE.”What if the truth is ridiculously simple: You *are* your purpose? You're here to know and be your glorious, messy, authentic Self as you cast your VISION and allow the listening to answer your CALLING (more on this on my next series of purpose). Seriously, pause for a moment and let that sink in.You're here to express your utterly unique, wonderfully weird, creative Self fully, freely, and fearlessly.Everything else such as your creativity, your relationships, your questionable fashion choices – are just sparkling byproducts of you being *you*.Knowing and being yourself? That's the answer to "What is my highest purpose and the source of my deepest freakin' joy?"The hitch? We've forgotten who we are. From childhood, we get handed a cookie-cutter mold for the "Good Life" who to be, what to want, what success looks like.So, we spend our lives trying to squish ourselves into that mold, developing a seriously messed-up case of mistaken identity. Then BAM! Quarter-life crises! Mid-life meltdowns! (It's all very dramatic, really.) So, how do you start?Embrace the Disillusionment, Darling.If you're feeling a little… blah about life, congratulations! You're right where you need to be. Disillusionment is inevitable. We no longer grasp to who we thought we were, and the one “purpose” we have in this life - and feeling that pressure!Even if you achieve all the things, the shine wears off. (That's just physics.)Own it. There's wisdom in that “blah” feeling. The pain of disillusionment can unlock a whole new, glittery world of freedom and possibilities.Why?Disillusionment means shedding the illusions. Seeing through the B.S. The cultural story that says purpose is “out there” is just a cleverly disguised sales pitch.You've checked the boxes, achieved the goals. But how long did it last? How long before you were chasing the next spiritual high?Spiritual goals are fabulous, but notice how we're always trying to *escape* those uncomfortable feelings.We launch projects, start cleanses, binge-watch cat videos. But eventually, we're back to the same damn questions.Wherever you go, there you are (and your existential baggage). So, you might as well embrace it.Disillusionment is an invitation. Like a pang of hunger, it's your True Self nudging you toward the truth.Look around. Mental illness is on the rise. Loneliness is an epidemic. People are quietly quitting their lives. Clearly, something's gotta give. The way we work, the way we live, the way we define "purpose"… it's all crumbling.That old story that purpose is “out there” keeps us stuck. That's the real question, isn't it? Who are you?Or, more accurately, *what* are you?Time to reframe this, Darling.What Is Your Vision and Soul Calling?A Vision is the art of seeing life's possibilities unfold—a profound and intuitive process that bridges the gap between your inner truth and the external world. It invites you to see not only the road ahead but also the unseen opportunities that lie along your path. Unlike conventional purpose driven vision, which often confines itself to specific, tangible goals, a calling embraces the unknown and empowers you to trust in the unfolding of your life's purpose. It is both a lens and a compass, helping you navigate toward your authentic self.The roots of the word “vision” are steeped in ancient wisdom. Derived from the Proto-Indo-European WEID, meaning “to see” or “to know,” the concept of vision transcends time and space. It reminds you that seeing is not merely a physical act but a deeper knowing—a connection to clarity and purpose that originates from within. THEREFORE. The vision Creates the PATH. Your Calling, is your Life's pursuit of multiple variations as a creator - offering insight and guidance that arises organically from your inner self, rather than being dictated by external expectations.Kassandra

Send us a textMeaninglessness haunts our hyper-connected yet spiritually adrift world. Why does Solomon, history's wisest and wealthiest king, begin Ecclesiastes with the jarring declaration that everything is "meaningless"? Our exploration of this ancient wisdom reveals a startlingly modern diagnosis of our existential emptiness.We discover that meaning requires direction – like ladder rungs connected to sides rather than clanging uselessly in the air. Solomon's exhaustive experiment with fulfillment (detailed in chapter 2) reads like a billionaire's bucket list gone wrong: pleasure, laughter, substance experimentation, building projects, material excess, entertainment, sexual indulgence, and even achievement. Each pathway led to the same conclusion: vapor, emptiness, nothing substantial to grasp.What makes Ecclesiastes uniquely powerful is its unflinching honesty about reality. Good people die young. Wicked people prosper. Chance happens to everyone. These observations resonate deeply with those who've found themselves "at the bottom of the glass" wondering what it all means. Solomon doesn't offer platitudes; he acknowledges the world's brokenness while pointing toward what's been lost.Support the show

The Heart of Worship

Welcome back to Ryan and Brian's Bible Bistro! In this episode, hosts Ryan and Brian explore what worship really means. Inspired by the late '90s Christian song "The Heart of Worship" by Matt Redman, they discuss how worship is less about getting the form right—hymns, modern songs, or rituals—and more about the heart behind it. They start with a throwback to the "Worship Wars" of the '90s and a funny story from Ryan's early days as a worship leader (spoiler: someone wasn't thrilled about a missing hymn!). Then they dive into Scripture, beginning with Zechariah 7, where God questions the motives behind fasting, and moving through 1 Samuel, Isaiah, Micah, the Psalms, and Jesus' run-ins with the Pharisees in the Gospels. The main point? God values a heart focused on justice, mercy, and humility over perfect religious routines. From Saul's half-hearted obedience to the Pharisees' rule obsession to modern debates over worship styles, it's clear: worship should change us, not just be a task to complete. Ryan and Brian share personal takes too—covering Lent, the Lord's Supper, and even Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (no judgment on your snacks). They wrestle with balancing form and heart, asking: How do we keep worship meaningful without fixating on the "how-to"? Highlights: Why God asked, “Why are you fasting—or feasting?” in Zechariah Samuel's blunt words to Saul: “Obedience beats sacrifice” Isaiah's call-out: “Your sacrifices? Meaningless without justice.” Jesus shutting down the Pharisees with “I desire mercy, not sacrifice” Practical ideas on shaking up routines to refocus on GodJoin Us:If this episode hits home (or makes you rethink your playlist), share it with a friend!
