Ever grappled with the weight of wanting to help everyone and feeling like it's never enough? Our latest episode peels back the layers of the Messiah complex, highlighting the need to establish boundaries in altruism while remaining deeply compassionate. We're joined by a special guest who embodies the biblical Good Samaritan's spirit, sharing a poignant tale of Israeli volunteers reaching across deep-seated divides. Their actions exemplify the transformative power that simple, heartfelt kindness can have in a world often blinded by self-interest and media narratives. Together, we explore the delicate balance between aiding others and recognizing our limitations, providing insightful commentary on conflicts that span the globe and the echoes of ancient parables in our modern reality. As we reminisce about the pre-digital days of yore, a time of undivided family attention and community solidarity, you'll find yourself yearning for a return to those core values. Our discussion ventures into the Christian ideals of community and the power of disconnecting from the relentless pull of technology to foster genuine connections. We're not just talking about looking back with nostalgia; we're fostering a dialogue about embracing the essence of togetherness and the Christian call to be a beacon in the shadows. Listen in for a fresh perspective on the Christian life, with practical steps on how to reclaim that sense of unity and purpose amidst the distractions of our high-speed, high-tech lives. This episode doesn't shy away from confronting the challenges we face in our spiritual journeys. From the pitfalls of self-justification to the dangers of spreading ourselves too thin, we're digging deep into what it means to live out mature, balanced compassion. Become part of our uplifting community as we pray for the audacity to make meaningful moves, console the troubled, and immerse ourselves wholeheartedly in the mission of disseminating the gospel. This isn't just a message; it's a movement toward living intentionally within the teachings of Jesus, fortified by the collective purpose and unity of believers. Join us and be part of the change.

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of birthdays and gives some fun ideas on how to celebrate yours, whether it's something you celebrate for a day, a month or something you try to ignore.  KEY TAKEAWAYS You could use your birthday as a personal State of The Union. It could give you some perspective on how you've done in the past year, how you are today & where you're going. If you haven't been goal-oriented in the past, this exercise can be enlightening on your journey. Instead of feeling bad, guilty ashamed about, or even punishing or judging yourself for something you feel like you should have done differently in the past, visualise/imagine that you're someone else looking back at their past year. As that other person you have no emotional attachment or judgement, you're just observing. What could this person have done differently? Ask them how they feel about the actions taken that they feel they could have done differently.  If you think about where you are in your life right now, at the time of your birthday, you could take your practical goals that you've been writing about on your focus wheels (if you're using them) & think about what's been coming to you in your dreams recently about something you'd like to accomplish. You could write those ideas down as things you would like to accomplish now & in the near future. Do you feel like exploring, inspiring, helping, saving (money or time, not people as this can lead to a Messiah Complex which makes like more complicated). Think about your life right now & how you can bring more joy to it by spending time doing actions & with people that light you up. BEST MOMENTS “Where have I been, where am I now & where am I going?” “What has happened in the past year that you would have liked to have done differently?” “What choices or changes could you incorporate into your goals right now & coming up in the near future that's different?” “A lot of the time your dreams are actually guides to help you create what you'd like to create in the future. Sometimes you higher self communicates with you through your dreams.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

Episode 115  In this episode I explore the concept of 'enmeshment', a term used in psychology to describe dysfunctional family systems marked by poor boundaries between family members and thus over-dependence (and co-dependence). I reflect on how growing up in an enmeshed family has affected my own mental health, relationships, and understanding of faith, leading me to develop a 'Messiah Complex' - or feeling compelled to constantly help others to my own detriment.I highlight the important role of understanding personal emotional health and trauma while practicing faith, and encourage listeners to be more compassionate with themselves, to become more whole, and grow in capacity to love well and healthily.Watch this recording on YouTube.Follow me on my Instagram account @animann for more material on the integration journey and subscribe to my monthly reflections on Begin Again.CHAPTER MARKERS(00:00:21) - Introduction(00:00:58) - Understanding Enmeshment and Attachment Styles(00:06:44) - The Messiah Complex and its Consequences(00:09:06) - My Personal Experiences with the Messiah Complex(00:37:04) - The Impact of Enmeshment on Faith and Relationships(00:43:33) - The Journey Towards Healing and Wholeness(00:45:51) - The Importance of Alignment and Self-Understanding(00:54:59) - ConclusionTRANSCRIPTAvailable here.REFLECTION PROMPTHave you experienced having the Messiah Complex in your life?

“The Common Stages in the Life Cycle of a Cult The Big Idea. A leader or leaders propose a new transcendent idea that promises a panacea solution for alienated and vulnerable people. This big idea promises to solve all problems; to end loneliness, isolation, and a sense of personal failure. It makes vague promises of meaning and salvation. There is usually a charismatic leader or a single text with its own coded language that spreads the big idea. Love-Bombing. Cult leaders and early devotees recruit from the wider population through love-bombing and promising a new start, a hope for a future of love, belonging, and salvation within a living community of people who all believe in the big idea. As a new recruit, you become one of the chosen to whom ‘the truth' is revealed. You are loved and 'saved.' A New Life. New recruits are inducted into a secret language of signs and symbols. They're encouraged to identify as victims of the world outside and are promised a rebirth, a new body or identity within this life, or an afterlife. Recruits are taught to see the world as black or white, good or evil, us or them; and this creates tight group unity which is enforced by rote learning of the cult's slogans. These beliefs are often illogical as a test of ‘true belief.' New recruits experience euphoria as part of a 'chosen' secretive group. Growth. As new recruits move into greater commitment, the cult enters the ‘expansion phase' and looks outwards. The new task is to recruit ever more people. Love-bombing and promising a new life are used on outsiders, and the young and needy are targeted. The cult expands rapidly with its promises of future rewards, be they spiritual, sexual, or political. Mantras and slogans replace all individual thought and offer collective 'one-ness.' Rites of Passage. Allegiance is sworn through acts such as renouncing your own family, past life, and past name. New members are separated from all past support systems and become dependent on the cult. New members are tested by having to transform their identity, body, language, and even sexual behaviours. They must ‘don the robes' and declare to the world that ‘I am no longer who I was, I am now part of group X.'” -Evan Morrison I might add that the religious cults made Christian plays, Christian movies, Christian concerts, Christian awards shows, Christian landmarks, Christian museums, and Christian events God. They had the persecution complex, the martyrdom complex, Messiah Complex, and The God complex. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Things get downright evil as we delve into Nathaniel Essex, aka MISTER SINISTER! How messy does this diva get? Listen now to find out!  Issue 181 - Mister Sinister Intro Background (2:17) Mister Sinister (Nathaniel Essex) created by Chris Claremont in Uncanny X-Men #212 (Dec. 1986) - first seen in #221 (Sept. 1987) drawn by Marc Silvestri Nathaniel Essex born in Victorian London, he is intrigued by Darwin's theories of evolution and survival of the fittest, but believes that mankind can go further After his 4-year-old son dies, he believes that science can perfect the human race - to that end, he hires a gang to kidnap homeless people to serve as test subjects - he allies with Apocalypse, as they share a common goal His wife discovers his imprisoned test subjects, as well as their dead son that Essex had dug up to experiment on - she goes into premature birth, and dies from blood loss, calling him sinister - he takes on the name after En Sabah Nur transforms him with Celestial technology, giving him the powers of immortality and telekinesis Sinister tries to kill Apocalypse, but fails - he commits himself to creating a mutant who can kill him, this leads to the eventual creation of Cable Sinister collaborates with many villains & characters throughout the decades, including being responsible for setting up the High Evolutionary, and having his research be the basis for Weapon X project He keys in on the Summers line, after secretly establishing an orphanage to keep track of children of his experiments - it is here he meets a young boy named Scott Summers, descendant of one of his earliest subjects - Sinister pretends to be Nate, another orphan, and tries to manipulate Scott to become an ally to Sinister until Scott is rescued by Xavier Creates a clone of Jean Grey after determining that a child of Scott and Jean would be capable of killing Apocalypse - after the Phoenix Saga, Scott meets Madelyne Pryor at a Summers family reunion, leading to a whole bunch of messiness Encounters the X-men for the first time during Mutant Massacre Dies during Messiah Complex when he attempts to kidnap the newborn baby Hope - due to earlier experimentations, his consciousness transfers first to Xavier, before transferring to Claudine Renko, a former test subject - she calls herself Miss Sinister Later is restored to a male form and creates an entire civilization of Sinister clones in San Francisco in an attempt to get Celestials to wipe out the planet so he can start anew - this is Kieron Gillen's reboot of the character, and all subsequent stories work off this version Creates five Madelyne clones in an effort to house the Phoenix Force during AvX, but the Phoenix Five destroy everything Sinister built This Sinister is killed by another clone with an X-gene, making Sinister a mutant - it is this clone that works with Xavier and Magneto to compile a database of mutant DNA for the new Krakoan society, and he joins the Quiet Council He also creates several clones of Moira MacTaggert, and exploits her timeline reset ability to his benefit, which leads to Sins of Sinister, where he successfully kills Xavier, Hope, Emma Frost, and Exodus, creating a dystopian future for mutants and mankind Issues - Theme is “The show must go on, but when does it stop?” (12:10) Constant experimentation on others and himself in pursuit of perfection Presentation and theatricality often doom his efforts (17:06) Wants everyone to underestimate him, but overestimates himself (22:14) Break (28:10) Plugs for Frigay the 13th, Hops Geek, and Chris Claremont Treatment (30:20) In-universe - The ultimate family meeting Out of universe - Review making changes just for changes sake Skit (42:40) Hello Mr. Sinister, I'm Dr. Issues. - Hello…Doctor…you know, that doesn't quite fit what we should be going for, here. I don't follow. -While I prefer my choice of moniker, I don't want any mistake in how this works. I am also a doctor. But that's not ALL I am, at this point. Do you catch my drift? So we're colleagues, and I have every intention of giving you the respect you deserve. -Oh, but that's where you're wrong. Colleague denotes equals, peers. There is no such thing with me. Are you trying to intimidate me, or…-*interrupting* Oh my, no! If I wanted to have you cowering in fear, I would simply tear your mind asunder. Then replace it backwards. No, this is all trivial to me. But I'm bored, so let's see where this goes now that I've established dominance. I don't think I've been so eloquently insulted in all of my life! -You're welcome. *clearly angry, but not stupid enough to act* I don't want to be rude back, but if you have no interest in changing anything about yourself, then this is going to be fruitless. -Nonsense, dear doctor. I am all about change for the better. That's why I'm here. I sought you out.  That's refreshing…I guess? Then why demean me? -Is it demeaning to say that an insect is expendable, or a seed only has value once planted? You sound like someone I met once -I know…I learned from the best. So what do you want to change? -*truly evil smile* YOU, my dear Doctor Issues *gulp* I'm always looking to improve…but…um…that's not how therapy works. -Do you doubt that the transference and countertransference phenomenon that were known when I was a much younger lad are true? EVERY therapist changes the moment they speak with a patient. But that is too slow. I need to see my results in real time. *fearful* A..aaaaa…as a doctor, you know that consent is a VERY important part of any changes that would be proposed, and I don't give you that -*curt* This is NOT a review board or ethics panel. What I say, goes. Understand?! Is it too late to say that you're falling back on past patterns of aggression for the sake of comfort in a new environment? -If this were truly a new environment, then you wouldn't be in such dire straits right now. Oh, the torment you may feel for a short while will be well worth my efforts. I will admit though *whispering* I'm not gentle. I would like the anger back, please. Creepy is much worse. -Who said anything about creepy? I'm not hidden about my intentions. My name says enough. Perhaps I could interest you in the meaning behind that also referring to left-handed orientation? -More stalling. *yawn* You are coming off as pathetic now. So, you're not trying to scare me, you're not interested in what I have to say, and you want to...do SOMETHING and I don't know what. Are you trying to build anticipation? I'm confused. -Perhaps ***awkward pause*** OK I've had it. Just do it. Kill me, or torture me, or whatever it is you plan to do because it takes a lot for me to lose my patience nowadays. Just know that each time I try to start a conversation that may be insightful…THERAPEUTIC even, you have ignored it, or mocked it, or intimidated me about it. You're trying to play me like a fool, and I'm NOT having it. I can tell you're cunning, but nobody's really that catty about mental wellness treatment. -Well then, let's see how well your sessions go without this oh so beautiful couch to sit on. *ripping sounds* WHAT? Seriously? It's in the name! Who messes up a couch? -You need someone like me to make this whole room over. Your office is in shambles. Have you never heard of feng shui?  I don't care -*interrupting* Obviously you don't. And your clothes…a button down shirt with stripes? How tacky are you? Is this what you consider changing me for the better? A mastermind doesn't waste their time focusing on minutiae to criticize! - You think this is beneath me? Forget about Lizzo, darling, I engineered my DNA to be 100% that bitch. So then what are your plans for my DNA? -Oh you simple, simple man. You have to learn how to put a comb through your hair, get a decent suit, learn how to tie your shoes properly AND find a decent non-offensive cologne before I ever do gene-work on you! For once, I must focus on the outside instead of what's inside. I'll be here every week until you are worthy of being my next great experiment. Then I'll keep trying to be an example of a regular person who is willing to accept imperfections. I hope that sinks in. -Nonsense.  Until then, consider this my parting gift *laser sound* Whoa…did you just…laser shave…um…but my clothes are still on…you know what? I don't want to talk about it. That was without my consent. - You're quite welcome. This time it was hair. Next time, it will be more than that if you're not careful.

Messages from Ernest Jones, senior pastor of Main Street Baptist Church in Georgetown, TX - New episodes every Monday!

God doesn't need perfect people, but what happens when we have elements in our lives that go unchecked? When everyone but you knows it's a problem? It's easy to see something, become enamored with it and let it lead us to sinning. Thankfully, as we see in today's message, Jesus' power is at it's greatest when we acknowledge that WE are too weak to handle the mess we've gotten into.

The Rational Egoist - Examining Unicorn Governance and the Messiah Complex In this episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz interviews Michael Munger, an economist and professor at Duke University, on the topic of unicorn governance and the messiah complex. Munger discusses his article on the conceptions that people have about what the economy should look like, and how this often leads to people on the left wanting an ideal government with benevolent motives. However, this model does not work, and blaming capitalism and greedy landlords only serves to avoid fixing the real problem with government. The conversation also delves into the concept of the messiah complex, where people blame the current government for not working and vote for someone else in the hope that they will be better. Munger highlights the importance of trusting free markets and self-interest, and how this has worked better than advocating for government responsibility. Tune in to this thought-provoking episode to gain insights into the complexities of human decision-making and the flaws of government-led collective efforts.

Psychologist Jo Hemmings analyses Prince Harry, what he says in his book Spare and how he has acted in his media appearances around the book.

“I must not fear.Fear is the mind-killer.Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.I will face my fear.I will permit it to pass over me and through me.And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”  It is the 100th episode special of the ThyGap podcast! Big thanks to everyone who has tuned in, to those who will in future, and to those who share! McNullity joins us this episode as we talk all things Dune, our appreciation of the fine work done by Denis, Zimmer and team. The Dune universe is full of rich characters; a world of immense scope and scale, and it's not easy condensing all that down to a movie script. We provide some additional context behind the characters and plot points that illustrate just why this movie was a masterpiece. Link to the playlist mentioned: bit.ly/Qu19NDu9ENot just the movie though, we also go into what the Dune books by Frank Herbert were trying to point at - humanity in the grips of the messiah complex. Just why do we clamor for saviors, prophets and 'chosen ones'? Why we like to thrust people on to pedestals and escape accountability? What's so wrong about wanting a hero to look up to? Is there a way out at all? Let us know: Instagram: @_ThyGap Twitter: @ThyGap Vero: @ThyGapEmail: mindthygap@gmail.com 

Folks, Hope Summers was originally intended to be Jean Grey reborn. Get comfortable and let's discuss Jean Grey's presence in the X-Books from Here Comes Tomorrow to Messiah Complex to Avengers vs. X-Men, and all the hints that were dropped along the way.

MESSIAH COMPLEX comes to a close. We have Dayspring and Flinkman on from the Power of X-Men podcast to break down issue 27, as well as the entire Messiah Complex event. What does it all mean?!?!?

We're the best at what we do, and what we do is podcasting! The Runners conclude Ed Brubaker's work on the X-Men franchise by discussing his final issues of Uncanny X-Men, including the Messiah Complex crossover and some final Matt Fraction 'co-written' issues that Ed may or may not have actually written a word of. Topics of discussion include frustrations about comics 'events', just how bad tracing is in comics art, and some more than questionable takes from 00's Marvel staff about dating.

Why did Scott Morrison secretly appoint himself as minister in five portfolios during his tenure? What are the implications of the former prime minister's actions for Australia's democracy?

Arte Sequenziale è una rubrica incentrata sul mondo dei fumetti e nello specifico su serie o storie autoconclusive a fumetti che meriterebbero maggior considerazioni dagli intenditori come dai neofiti. I mutanti rischiano l'estinzione. Eppure qualcosa sta cambiando: un bambino mutante è nato! C'è che vuole trovarlo per salvarlo, chi per renderlo il Messia della razza mutante, chi vuole utilizzarlo per i propri scopi e chi vuole ucciderlo. Ecco a voi "Messiah Complex", una delle saghe più drammatiche e fondamentali della storia editoriali degli X-Men di casa Marvel.

Our X-men crusade reaches its half way point as we talk about the messy but fun event Messiah Complex. Wanda said "No More Mutants" but now there is one. So that's a pretty big deal if you ask me.

In our continuing series, Jesus and the Poor, Sew Powerful co-founder Jason Miles explains what we mean by 'Messiah Complex'. What is it? Why should we avoid it? Could our good intentions turn into bad outcomes if we are not aware? Comparing 1 John 3:16 to John 3:16, we look at the role of sacrificial servants and what this means for the Sew Powerful ministry in Zambia.

Adam and Dr. Drew open the show discussing their omnipresent idea of 'chick think' including as it pertains to NYC's new safe injection sites and California's plan to become a 'sanctuary state' for abortions. They also speak to a caller who believes that Dr. Drew has been 'soft' on Covid and wants to know what motivations are behind that approach. Drew also tells Adam about some of famed psychologist Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development and how it seems to be veering off track in today's society. As the show wraps up the watch a clip of CNN from last year and see how it's aged.

When Dad started in ministry in 1975, he and Mom could not foresee how helping people in crisis would become a normal part of their everyday lives. Almost from the get-go, they had to get used to almost daily calls for help. As long as they worked with small congregations, they found that they could handle it. But by the mid-1990s, Dad was ministering to the Steele Avenue Church of Christ in Ashland, Ohio. The congregation was growing so much that the elders decided to build a whole new campus to meet the need for space. As the congregation grew, so did the responsibility that Dad took on himself to be there for people who needed help. And the more Dad helped people in crisis, the more people in crisis seemed to find Dad. Even though he refused to admit it at the time, the strain was beginning to break Dad. Things finally got out of control when Dad got so entangled with one member of the church that it put Dad, our family, and the entire congregation in grave danger. If you would like to ask Dad or Mom a specific question on a future episode, please email it to bt@btirwin.com. Learn about and order Dad's book, 'We Are God's Masterpiece: Discovering How God Has Designed You For His Purpose,' here.

On this weeks episode, I unpack my relationship to self in regard to the need to want to save everyone & put their priorities before my own.

How am I now setting boundaries and showing up for myself in new ways? Put on your seat belt, sit back, relax, & ride with me.

We take a look at the X-men Crossover event known as Messiah Complex which came out in the Mid 2000s. This is one of Kyle's favourite X-men events and CY's first time reading it. Sorry that this a long one but we discussed every issue and kinda forgot about time. If you are a fellow X-men fan and read this.

Do you know someone who believes themselves to be appointed by God to save the world? Do they claim to hold the ultimate authority on Truth and Goodness? Do they believe that they (and they alone) have all the answers to all of mankind's problems? Have you ever experienced some of these feelings yourself? In this discourse episode, we discuss the "Messiah Complex". Some highlights include: -How it originates and how to avoid adopting the complex yourself, -Whether or not a messiah can be recognized as such -The nature of arrogance and narcissism -How to can grow and integrate some of these negatively charged self-delusions that seem to riddle even the most intelligent individuals.

The Kingsmen assemble! We discuss the cultural phenomenon that is Avengers: Endgame (2019). With talking points that range from Christlike sacrifice to the astronomical significance of just one rat, we reflect on ways that the film illuminates Christian truths. In many ways, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the current culture and society's mythology. And similar to how Inkling authors like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien approached mythologies, the Kingsmen approach this the Marvel mythology with the question, “What in this story is true?” 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:03:03 - Heroes Sacrifice like Christ 00:07:43 - Avengers Themes: “We don't trade lives” vs. “Whatever it takes” 00:12:22 - Selflessness as Taking Responsibility 00:15:35 - Fat Thor is a Nobler Hero 00:17:41 - Thor Giving up the Messiah Complex 00:20:52 - Avengers Teamwork Reflects God Invitation to Rescue 00:22:01 - Thor Giving Up the Throne 00:24:04 - One-Punch Man and Teamwork 00:26:11 - Every Field of the Battle is Important 00:29:15 - Partnering with God in Creation and Restoration 00:33:07 - Destinations and Trajectories for Iron-Man and Captain America 00:44:57 - Stark as Pre-Resurrection Era and Rogers as Post-Resurrection Era 00:52:29 - Forgiveness as Flexibility to Not Avenge 00:56:07 - Gamora and Nebula's Sibling Rivalry/Love 01:04:27 - The Call from God for the Participation of Women in His plan 01:06:07 - The Snap Back and Holding onto the Painful Memory 01:15:37 - God Who Expresses Emotions 01:20:04 - The Way Arguments Cloud Judgment (Stark vs Rogers) 01:26:25 - The Depth of the Resurrection Event 01:28:10 - The Prerequisite to Forgiving an Offender 01:32:53 - The Astronomical Coincidence of Perfect Rat-Dancing 01:35:00 - Conclusion

In John 5:16–47, Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees, who are questioning His authority and claims. In this study, Pastor Doug continues our journey through the Gospel of John as we see Jesus present evidence using four key witnesses—John the Baptist, His great works, the Father, and the Scriptures—that He is the Messiah.

Fr. Michael talks about how we take on responsibility for fixing others. "Peace does not come once we figure out how to heal our problems and the problems of those around us. That's backwards. Our problems and the problems of those around us will be healed as we acquire peace."
