Belief is a crucial factor in personal growth and success. It fuels our determination, inspires resilience, and empowers us to overcome challenges. When we trust what is true we are less influenced by the opinions and judgments of others, which can often be hindered by their own limitations or biases. The object of our faith and belief must be sound, reliable, and constant. When we define our worth by a divine standard instead of the perceptions of others, we find greater self-confidence, authenticity, and ultimately, fulfillment. This week, author and registered dietitian Leslie Schilling shares her philosophy on having a “full and fed” life where we resist what society tells us is “healthy,” and decide that the bodies God gave us, no matter their size or shape, are miraculous. Author and preacher Bianca Juarez Olthoff shares how she defied the voices that told her that she was “prone to fail” by believing her status as a child of God would bring her a true definition of success.   Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Upcoming interview: Dr. W.

We have to be fed to live this life well.” - Leslie Schilling  “My hope is that people realize that it's never wrong to feed yourself and that we are diverse by design so we can move into more of a fed and full life.” - Leslie Schilling  “Diet culture has made us not trust our bodies and not believe that body diversity is by design.” - Leslie Schilling  “I think connecting with God daily helps us have a healthy mindset. If we really think about what healthy means, it's our own definition of healthy and not the world's definition of healthy. And for me, that's starting my day with time with God.” - Leslie Schilling “I think pursuing health in a way that aligns with our individual values can help us spiritually by being fed. If you are living a fed life and not a restricted one, you can do more.” - Leslie Schilling  “No matter what I walked into, no matter what people said, no matter what my test scores evaluated me as, I knew that I was a child of God, and with God on my side and a whole lot of work, you can step into the God call upon your life with or without a traditional educational story or a traditional story of how you were raised.” - Bianca Juarez Olthoff “We all love an underdog story, but I think it was more the Spirit of God reminding us of our truest identity, that we have a good Father who hears us and loves us.” - Bianca Juarez Olthoff  “This idea of grit, this idea of resilience, this idea of perseverance has been something that has been fostered and fought for in my life.” - Bianca Juarez Olthoff  “Our God is the God who redeems. If the situation is not good, then God is not done, that is the perspective that we need. That perspective allows us to be gritty.“ - Bianca Juarez Olthoff ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

“You have to look at ways to challenge yourself. Otherwise, you become stagnant. Nature's great at showing us this. If it's not growing, it dies, and then when it dies, it gets rotten.”  - Jeff McManus   Jeff McManus grows things. As the Director of Landscape Services at the University of Mississippi, he grows plants....he grows people....he grows ideas.

Ryan Brandt is a former marine who served two tours in Afghanistan. He is now a business development executive for Viqtory a company that focuses on recruitment marketing. We all know that transitioning out of the military can be a challenging time. The more planning done in advance when it comes to marketing your skills, getting the right mindset, and getting your finances in order the easier the transition will be.  We talk about this, and Ryan shares struggles that he and his fellow military brothers and sisters have been through. We talk about how it’s smart to get financial advice from the beginning and not live check to check. Having a plan now will payoff in large dividends in the future. Ryan shares mistakes that he made, and what he would do differently. He also shares how transitioning military people can make their resumes relevant for the civilian world and advises to not just stick with MOS codes.  Highlights from this Episode  [00:51] Ryan was a marine who did two tours to Afghanistan. He was a sergeant and a radio operator. [01:14] When he got out of the Marine Corps he moved to the northern Virginia area where his family is from. He worked at a SaaS reseller. [01:44] He then started working in enterprise sales in the DC Metro area. He worked with GSA contracts, the DOD, and the Department of Homeland Security. [01:58] He met his wife in Annapolis, Maryland. They moved outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania about six years ago. [02:33] He continued working in sales in different companies. [02:58] He was given an opportunity at Victory to help his brothers and sisters in arms better than self stirring the transition process. [03:52] Ryan got his bachelor's in criminal justice from Memphis University before the Corp.  [04:20] He also played in the minor leagues with the Chicago White Sox for a while. [06:41] Ryan now realizes how scary the transition process can be. In the military, you become part of something bigger than yourself. Then you take a 5-day transition class and you're done. [08:56] It can be equally stressful for career military people. [10:30] When a military career comes to an end, it's on the transitioner themselves to make moves towards a new life. People often think they have to do something in civilian life that is similar to what they did in the military. [12:02] There weren't a lot of people to talk to during the transition period. [14:11] Ryan shares how he didn't get a lot of support from the military when he was leaving.  [15:45] Ryan markets for Viqtory to find corporations that want to hire military veterans.  [16:13] Ryan shares the skills that military people have that are valuable to employers like competing missions and leadership skills. [17:41] Don't be MOS focused. Military people have a lot of intangible skills.  [18:44] When creating your resume. Talk about the overall skills you acquired. Leadership and achievements. Put what you did into something that resonates with a civilian.  [20:19] Being on time is a huge skill. [21:03] Transitioning people stay for about five years if they make it past the first year.  [22:21] The biggest hurdle is the mentality of bettering yourself on your own.  [24:05] It's about being self-sufficient as opposed to being part of the team. [26:10] After deployment, it makes sense to make a plan for accumulated money. Don't live for the weekend.  [30:48] Ryan shares a story about getting guys he was in the military with straight on finances and talking about avoiding huge debt and security clearances.  [32:41] Credit scores matter when getting hired. [34:31] After getting out of boot camp, go talk to someone about finances and put yourself on a solid plan. The better off you will be in the future. Don't live paycheck to paycheck. [37:24] If someone can make a commitment to their country, they can make a commitment to their finances. There are also financial advisors on post now.   Links and Resources Ryan Brandt on LinkedIn Viqtory Ryan.Brandt@Viqtory.com

The National Gallery is launching a new tour with the help of young people from the McPinn Foundation challenging stereotypes in mental health. The tour focuses on works of art which confront commonly held myths. Claudia meets Lucy who was diagnosed with anorexia at 13 and Helen Fisher from the Institute of Psychiatry , Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London, Kings College, to see their favourite exhibits including “An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump” by Joseph Wright 'of Derby' and “The Vision of the Blessed Gabriele” by Carlo Crivelli.

The tour is available for free until 10th April 2020 via smartphones. (tiny.cc/ngmentalhealth) Studio guest Mathijs Lucassen of the Open University discusses his latest research on LGBT teenagers and mental health. Plus, most people are used to the idea that as we get older there is a diminishing of our abilities, but Professor Roger Kreutz of Memphis University in his book “Changing Minds” demonstrates that language is one skill that can just get better. And with the aim of improving brain health Dr Alastair Noyce and colleagues recently launched a European report which says “Time Matters”.

George Gordon accidentally ended up in ATO at Memphis University, lived on a dorm floor with one of country music’s biggest talents, and hit the biggest “college spring break locales”: Panama City and South Padre Island, with a pit stop over in Mexico.

This paper presents a meaning-based method to spam filtering by distinguishing text without content from text with little content from text with normal content, based on the amount of meaning that can be automatically processed in the way humans do. The basic method assumes that a semantic analyzer will be able to produce less output from semantically less grammatical input text than from semantically well-formed text. The method was pilot-tested on a corpus of blog spam. Future improvements, including a method to distinguish semantically unified from semantically disparate text are sketched. The tested method, but even more the projected improvements, will open up the way to taking the spam filtering arms race to a new level very costly to spam producers. About the speaker: Christian F. Hempelmann, is Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics and Director of the Ontological Semantic Technology Lab at Texas A&M-Commerce. He received his PhD in 2003 from Purdue University with a specialization in ontological semantics and NLP applied to information security at the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS), and humor. After a post-doc in psychology at Memphis University and a professorship at Georgia Southern University, he has worked in the NLP industry since 2006, first at the Internet search engine hakia.com, then at Riverglass, Inc., developing full-scale ontological-semantic solutions. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal on Advances in Intelligent Systems and the Journal for Humor Research and has (co-)authored over forty articles.
