Mind game: a psychological tactic used to ___________ or _______________. The devil will attack us with ___________. When doubt comes it can ________________ our faith or ________________ our faith. [John 1:29-30] The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! [30] He is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘A man is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.' John is the first one to _____________ that Jesus is the Messiah. [Matthew 11:2-3] John the Baptist, who was in prison, heard about all the things the Messiah was doing. So he sent his disciples to ask Jesus, 3 “Are you the Messiah we've been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?” Even people with strong faith ask __________ _______________ in stressful times. [Matthew 11:4-11] Jesus told them, “Go back to John and tell him what you have heard and seen— [5] the blind see, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor.” [6] And he added, “God blesses those who do not fall away because of me.” [7] As John's disciples were leaving, Jesus began talking about him to the crowds. “What kind of man did you go into the wilderness to see? Was he a weak reed, swayed by every breath of wind? [8] Or were you expecting to see a man 'dressed in expensive clothes? No, people with expensive clothes live in palaces. [9] Were you looking for a prophet? Yes, and he is more than a prophet. [10] John is the man to whom the Scriptures refer when they say, ‘Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.' [11] “I tell you the truth, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he is! John had doubts, but instead of ________________ on them, he ___________________ them. [James 1:5-8] Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God—who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly—and it will be given to him. [6] But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind. [7] That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord, [8] being double-minded and unstable in all his ways. Doubt HAPPENS. Doubt causes us to focus on what we ___________ do rather than on what God __________ do. Doubt should drive us to seek ______________. [Luke 11:9-10] “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. [10] For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

On this week's episode of the Bag Drop: Untold Stories in golf, we ask the hard questions, like, is time real? What is the cultural impact of films like Top Gun: Maverick? Who is Mort Sherman? Matt and the Professor welcome renowned storyteller and lesser-known golfer Darren Schwartz to the show. Among many topics, the trio highlights the importance of mentorship in golf, business, and in life before shifting to the dynamics of winning, where players balance supporting their opponents while striving for victory, and the temptations of psychological warfare on the course. Darren shares some excerpts from his memoir, examining personal growth and experiences with ayahuasca. They discuss public speaking, caddies' roles, and share anecdotes relating to mental health and the performance of each. The dialogue is infused with humor and relatable to both golf enthusiasts and those seeking personal development. Matt and Darren wrap up by reflecting on memorable golf moments, including a heartfelt letter to Bill Murray, the significance of Jim Nantz's sultry voice in April, and non-essential golf gear that's just fun to have in the bag. The conversation concludes by reflecting on how golf mirrors life's challenges and joys, emphasizing its psychological examinations as one of the game's unique and great strengths.

Depression, anxiety, and emotional trauma are on the rise, even more so after the painful few years we’ve all been through. While the church has had an unfortunate track record of glossing over mental health issues, Paul Daugherty, pastor of the megachurch Victory and today’s guest on the podcast, believes it’s time for the church to break its silence. You can’t just pray trauma away. Depression and anxiety can affect even the most devoted believer. Therefore, in today’s conversation, Paul sits down with hosts, Zach & Josh, to share his own story of walking through anxiety and depression, helping others understand how frightening and debilitating mental health struggles can be, and talking vulnerably about the highs and lows of his healing journey. He also describes some of the biggest mental and emotional health issues he has seen people in his life and his congregation facing, including depression, anxiety, insecurity, mood swings, and the scars of trauma. Daugherty dives into scripture and lays a framework for understanding the spiritual truths behind each mental battle, and offers practical tips and strategies to help readers discover the door out of depression and into mental and emotional victory. The greatest takeaway from today’s conversation is that you may already have possession of the key to the door of hope and healing that you’ve been searching for all along!

"I had no sexual energy. I couldn't feel anything. That's when I knew—we were siphoned."In this final and explosive interview of the Bewitched series, Baljit Rayat steps forward with a harrowing story that spans nearly two decades. As the first student to ever learn the Akashic Records from Betty, Baljit didn't just witness the rise of a spiritual leader—she lived through the full descent into chaos, control, and cult-like manipulation.What began in 2006 as a path of spiritual awakening and mentorship slowly evolved into a twisted entanglement of gaslighting, psychosis, and psychic entrapment. Baljit recounts the signs she missed, the energy shifts she ignored, and the moments when her body began showing symptoms—weight gain, lost libido, mental fog—of being psychically infiltrated. But nothing prepared her for the Santa Fe retreat, where psychodrama erupted, euphoria blurred into confusion, and something darker came through under the guise of sacred ritual.From being telepathically pressured to rejoin programs, Baljit unveils how Betty's tactics became coercive, paranoid, and surreal. She opens up about the soul-crushing aftermath, the moment she finally blocked Betty, and the freedom that followed.This episode is about reclaiming your energy, breaking the spell, and waking up to the truth.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(00:52) In Today's Episode...Baljit Rayat and the Final Chapter(02:11) Upcoming Episode: 11 Patterns of Manipulation and Personality Profiling(03:32) The Metamorphosis(05:02) Welcoming Baljit's Unique Perspective(07:10) Baljit's First Steps with Betty and Initial Red Flags(12:28) The Shift and The Pandemic Impact(17:51) Spiritual Psychosis and The Santa Fe Retreat(24:10) The Blue Lotus Tea and Mind Games(31:14) The Santa Fe Aftermath - Bye Betty, You're Hijacked(36:59) Croatia and The Male Entity(46:49) Cult-Like Behavior(52:57) Unveiling Hidden Transformations, Psychic Attacks, and Targeting(55:26) The Shift in Energy - Who's Above Betty?(58:06) Trauma Bonding, Infiltration, and Revelations(01:05:21) Psychological and Energetic Insights(01:07:47) The San Diego Trauma Reveal(01:16:28) Galactic Interference - The Portal is Open(01:23:49) Who Made You, Betty?(01:27:30) Betty's Training System Exposed(01:39:11) Where Do We Go From Here?**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.  The Metamorphosis starts its next round in just a few days.

Emotional Intelligence guru (and Mark's cousin) Bob Levant joins the show to explore the mind of the modern professional athlete and to talk about his role in the Dallas Mavericks' run to the NBA Finals last season.

Dan's first of two tales is a modern encounter story set in Sauk Centre, Minnesota's Palmer Hotel. Lynze, of course, was excited when she heard "sock" center!  The second story shares the haunted history of Kansas City, Missouri's St. Mary's Episcopal Church. Does the ghost of an early church leader still haunt its grounds? Then Lynze comes to us with three stories. Her first reminds us of how creepy kids toys can be. Then, an ongoing family situation with a family has one person asking what she married in to! Lastly, a gentle and loving ghost tale to remind us to be grateful for what we DO have in life! Monthly Patreon Donation: This month we are donating $11,620 to Farm Rescue, which is the only nonprofit organization of its kind providing farm and ranch families with the operational support they need in times of crisis.

In this wrap-up episode, Kevin “Big Kev” Matthews takes us deep into the heart of his fifth Delirious West finish—sharing all the highs, lows, and hilarious moments that made 2025's edition “The Hilly Year” one to remember. From Mandalay-to-Mount Clare misery (times two) to epic pasta dishes and the infamous “magic hill” at Shelley Beach, Kev recounts a race that was tough on the legs but full of soul. He talks about how he managed his energy, stayed social on the trail, and learned the value of proper food over sugar-packed snacks. This episode is packed with Kev's signature wit, wisdom, and warmth—and a very entertaining sprint finish inspired by a cheeky WhatsApp message. Key Highlights: •Why Mandalay to Mount Clare “sucked both ways” •The value of mid-race sleep, real food, and ditching the gels •That time Kev hallucinated SUVs on a dike near Lowlands •Jet ski in the dark, steak and onions at Peaceful Bay, and the ultimate nap at Shelley •Kev's take on why we all keep coming back—even when we swear we won't •The sprint finish sparked by a phantom Charles in the group chat Connect with Us: If you're into smart race strategy, community spirit, and laughing at yourself while doing something epic—Kev's your guy.

“Exile” 20th-anniversary reflections Contacted telepathically by an alien who says he might be able to help find the Xindi, Hoshi decides to take advantage of the opportunity by packing her nicest dresses and high heels for a stay at his mysterious castle. At first she's happy to be his guest and even enjoys a lavish dinner of her Earth favorites—despite being creeped out by his mind-reading. But the mood is soured when she discovers the graves of past guests just outside, leaving little more to do until the Enterprise returns but translate a book written in an undecipherable alien language while staying comfortable in leisure wear. 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 “Exile” as we discuss Star Trek's attempt to do Beauty and the Beast in space. Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Be Our Guest!

In Season 9, Episode 2 — the second track of the As a Man series, Volume 2, titled “As a Man Thinketh,” Izzy Baker sits down with international bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and mind mapping coach John Diggs for one of the most transformative conversations of the season. Inspired by Future Trunks from Dragon Ball Z, the rapper Future, and the scriptures Jeremiah 29:11 and Luke 14:28, this episode is all about designing your life with intentionality, not chaos. Whether you've ever asked, “Am I supposed to be here?” while stuck in a dead-end job or felt like God's voice went silent, this conversation brings clarity instead of clichés. John shares how hitting rock bottom at his mother's house became the launchpad for his purpose. One book changed everything and led him to create Mappineering, a system he now teaches as a tool for life design, mindset rewiring, and emotional healing. Izzy and John explore what it means to outgrow old versions of yourself. They discuss spiritual burnout, emotional clutter, and the silent anxiety many men carry when their life doesn't align with their identity. This is about breaking mental strongholds, not chasing more success. They also explore how mind mapping improves emotional clarity, reduces stress, and provides a blueprint for career and personal transformation. You'll hear practical insight into how the right questions—who, what, when, where, and why can uncover the path God's been showing you all along. If you've been mentally drained, spiritually numb, or quietly confused about your direction, this episode is your reset button. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

Do you ever feel like you're living the same day over and over again? Every three years our University of the Seven Suns along with hundreds of other psionic schools from across the Eternium compete in a giant resource contest within the ringworlds surrounding the Dyson Sphere of Partikan. It was pretty fun until I started waking up at the beginning of the contest without knowing why. No one else seemed to know what I was talking about so I was on my own in figuring out how to break the cycle. The truth turned out to be more sinister and dangerous than I ever would have imagined.

The reason you struggle with bad habits or anxiety doesn't stem from a lack of willpower—it's likely because you aren't hacking your brain properly. From daily routines to anxious tendencies, many of our behaviors seem beyond our control, but psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Judson Brewer has the answers for finding more agency in our minds. Brewer, the Director of Research and Innovation at Brown University's Mindfulness Center and author of The Hunger Habit, The Craving Mind and Unwinding Anxiety, joins Mind Game host Casey Bannon to reveal that willpower isn't the solution. Instead, it's the superpowers of curiosity that can help us understand our brains, manage anxiety, cultivate healthier habits and, perhaps most importantly, make more putts.Subscribe to The Golfer's Journal: ⁠https://www.golfersjournal.com/⁠Get 10 free AG1travel packs when you subscribe: ⁠https://drinkag1.com/event/bts24⁠Find out which Vokey wedges work for you: ⁠https://www.vokey.com/All Mind Game episodes: ⁠https://www.golfersjournal.com/category/podcast/mind-game-podcast/

Episode 1642: Steve Chou breaks down the subtle psychological pricing strategies that retailers use to influence buying behavior, revealing how numbers, layout, and perceived value impact purchasing decisions. Listeners will walk away with actionable insights to improve their own sales tactics or become savvier consumers. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://mywifequitherjob.com/pricing-psychological-mind-games-that-stores-play/ Quotes to ponder: "One of the most common pricing tricks is to set prices just below a round number, like $9.99 instead of $10." "People tend to perceive prices that are 'just below' a round number as significantly cheaper than they really are." "Bundling products together can make customers feel like they are getting a better deal, even if the total cost is the same or higher."

(00:00) Golf, March Madness, and Match Play This chapter kicks off with a lively discussion about March Madness, with hopes and bets on whether the Indiana Hoosiers will make it past the bubble stage. There's some light-hearted banter about the need for better coaching and players for Indiana, reminiscing about their past glory days. The conversation then shifts to a humorous anecdote from the Approach Shot podcast featuring Michael Floyd, a former NFL player, who claims to hit his driver 400 yards. We explore the intricacies of such claims, touching on the challenges of controlling high-speed drives and the importance of precise club face positioning. Additionally, the chapter briefly mentions the specialized equipment used in long drive competitions, highlighting how they are designed to minimize spin for maximum distance. (13:06) Mental Strategy in Match Play Golf This chapter explores the psychological strategies employed in match play golf, emphasizing the importance of playing the opponent rather than just the course. We discuss various tactics such as creating pressure by not conceding putts, leveraging the advantage of being the first to reach the green, and using the mental state of the opponent to one's benefit. The conversation touches on the subtle art of maintaining a mental edge through seemingly simple actions, like practicing a putt after it's been conceded, to build confidence and unsettle the opponent. Additionally, we highlight the balance between mental games and pure skill, ultimately asserting that good golf skills are irreplaceable. This insightful discussion offers a glimpse into the mind games that complement the physical aspect of golf, with an understanding that both play crucial roles in winning matches. (21:45) The Beauty of Match Play Golf This chapter explores the engaging and competitive world of match play golf, emphasizing its unique appeal, especially during adverse weather conditions where winning a hole is all that matters. We discuss the prominence of match play in the Ryder Cup and its commonality in Europe, where four-ball matches are the norm, and how playing with uneven groups can be challenging. The conversation also touches on cultural experiences, such as playing golf in Scotland, and highlights the enjoyment of adapting to the local customs, including forming a "four ball" and joining other players for a round. Alongside the golf discussion, there's a light-hearted reflection on the host's relocation to Indian Wells, California, the diverse community there, and a nostalgic mention of attending a Styx concert, contrasting the youthful vibe of the Coachella music festival. (34:43) Navigating the Challenges of Alternate Shot This chapter takes us through the dynamics and challenges of playing alternate shot format in golf, highlighting the importance of camaraderie and mutual understanding between partners. We explore the mental pressures unique to this format, emphasizing the added emotional burden of playing not just for oneself, but also to avoid disappointing a partner. The conversation touches on how golf is as much a mental game as it is physical, often bringing about emotional responses, particularly in high-stakes settings like junior tournaments. We discuss the importance of focusing on personal achievements rather than solely on competitive outcomes, acknowledging that individual progress can be overshadowed by the broader competitive context. Additionally, we reflect on the intricacies of golf handicaps and the potential misunderstandings they can create, underscoring the need for a balanced perspective on personal performance in the sport. (44:05) Exploring Match Play Golf Variations This chapter focuses on the exciting ways to enhance your golf experience through different game formats. We explore the benefits of incorporating match play into your routine, emphasizing how it encourages strategic thinking and personal growth. Additionally, we discuss the intriguing concept of playing worst ball, where you tackle challenges by playing your least favorable shots. By alternating between worst ball and best ball on different holes, you can create a dynamic and engaging game, almost like a personal scramble. These variations promise to bring fun and improvement to your golf outings.
