Former Adriatic Metals CEO Paul Cronin returns to Mining Stock Daily for a wide-ranging conversation about one of the mining sector's more remarkable development stories: taking an overlooked historical project in Bosnia and Herzegovina from old Yugoslav-era exploration data through discovery, financing, construction and ultimately production.Paul takes us back to the earliest days of Adriatic and the Vareš project, including how the Bosnian assets initially fell out of another proposed IPO, the shoestring exploration campaign that followed, and the discovery at Rupice that changed everything. He recalls drilling one spectacular hole, following it with a complete miss while the company was nearly out of money, and making the decision to keep drilling—a decision that ultimately helped uncover a major polymetallic deposit.But discovering Vareš was only the beginning. Paul discusses the realities of building a mine through COVID, European inflation, supply-chain disruptions and Bosnia's complicated political environment. He reflects on community relations, permitting, procurement, hiring challenges and the mistakes and lessons that came with moving a complex polymetallic deposit into production.Now CIO of the Admiralty Resources Fund, Paul explains how those experiences have changed the way he evaluates mining companies as an investor. He discusses why management teams often rush projects toward production, why metallurgy and water deserve far more attention, and why investors should give good management teams enough time to properly de-risk an asset.______Terrahutton empowers junior mining companies to secure investment with immersive, interactive, and visually striking storytelling.

I think it is bad to judge yourself for being jealous and not actually taking a moment to know why. What about that thing is making me have the grass is greener?Lesley Logan 0:11  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:54  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad and I are going to dig into the insightful convo I had with Jamie Lerner in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause this now and go back and listen to that one, and then come back and join us, or you can just listen all the way through and then just let your podcast play that one. Brad Crowell 1:11  You can start at episode one. We're only 740 in right now.Lesley Logan 1:15  I know. I mean, so many. It's so many. Today is October 1st 2026. It is ADHD Awareness Month, and you are listening to two ADHD hosts. By the way, just so you know, when we record these, the Adderall is worn off, so.Brad Crowell 1:29  That's also true.Lesley Logan 1:30  It's all we don't ever record when we are medicated. So because that would be that would make too much sense. But ADHD Awareness Month shines a light on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder throughout October. This vital observance, spearheaded by organizations like Attention Deficit Disorder Association, aims to educate the public, reduce stigma, and champion effective treatments. Join the conversation, share resources, and support those navigating life with ADHD. I just want to tell you guys, it's not like a trend to go get diagnosed. If you think that you that's what's going on with you. You should do it because there are really great tools and systems that you can use. You don't have to take Adderall. There's other options. There's other systems you could put in place. But it has been really quite helpful to understand what's ADHD and what's just tired and what's whatever. And oh, I'm going on a dopamine high. Let's adopt a dog. You know, decisions like that. But I highly recommend it. And then the other thing I just want to add is I listened to this really wonderful clip where this woman said that the title ADHD is not really the best because it's what it is is it's a regulation disorder. People with ADHD have a hard time regulating in general. So like we go on highs and lows and highs and lows because it's really hard to regulate. I really like the example of you know those of you who listen to the podcast. Most of you understand, in the 80s and 90s there were those pens that had red, green, black, blue, right?Brad Crowell 2:50  Sure.Lesley Logan 2:51  So a neurotypical person will think red, click red, use red, finish the red, right? A neurodivergent person. Brad Crowell 3:00  Is that what they'll do?Lesley Logan 3:00  Yeah, a neurodivergent person with ADHD will go. I had five ideas, all five pen, all five colors at the same time. That's how their brain works. And I thought that if you don't understand what that's like, you that I think it's a good visual. So, anyways, if you hear chewing in the background, that's Darla, and we're gonna let her do it because it keeps her busy, otherwise. Brad Crowell 3:19  That's her ADHD (inaudible) also, too, my understanding is that ADHD presents itself slightly differently between men and women, and it's really coming out strong as. Lesley Logan 3:34  The largest number of women are going through perimenopause at the same time.Brad Crowell 3:37  Yes, that is the point I was ultimately trying to eloquently get to, that I am not a woman to be able to say that, but that's happening right now, and so it might be that you have ADHD undiagnosed and don't know it. And if you're thinking, "Oh my god, I can't fucking think anymore, maybe it's because of this, and it's worth going to talk to someone about it. We did, and it was hilarious. Lesley's already told the story, but in five minutes, the psychiatrist was, "Yeah, you have ADHD. I'm giving you boom. You know, you're good. Let's go.Lesley Logan 4:10  And Brad and I did.Brad Crowell 4:11  I had to do a friggin' test.Lesley Logan 4:12  You did all the tests. I was. I don't have time for these tests.Brad Crowell 4:16  I had to go do a whole computer exam and the whole nine. I mean, I'm glad I did, but also I was. I gotta go all the way back out here to this place. I mean it's like 20 minutes away, but it felt like forever. Anyway, I'm very happy that I am formally diagnosed, and it has been interesting to to be taking medication for something like this because I I just always assumed that I was just getting older and my brain wasn't working the way that it used to, and that's true, I think. But also, I wonder. I don't know. I felt very productive and you know cogent when I was younger, and then things just started to slip away for me, and I just associated that with all the things that happened in my life and. Lesley Logan 4:55  Maybe you're going through perimenopause.Brad Crowell 4:56  Yeah, I must be. I mean, I think I think that's it.Brad Crowell 5:00  That's the conclusion. I don't even know how I didn't come to that conclusion. Lesley Logan 5:02  You know what I will say is the psychiatrist was really thoughtful. She said, "Look, she says what you'll have to understand about yourself is it's you versus the ADHD, and if you can really understand what's me and what's ADHD, it will really help you. As is a child where my ADHD was fully showing up, and people, oh, you're just not applying yourself. Oh, you're just being you're procrastinating. Oh, this, and so really, I'll be completely honest. I actually had a moment of being fucking pissed off because I think my life would be completely different had someone just diagnosed me earlier. Instead, I went my whole life masking, and then I got to a place where my hormones weren't helping me mask anymore, and I was tired of masking. And then I was just a fucking cunt. I was just mean. I was irritable. And now, when I am taking the medication and I'm focused and I'm irritable, I actually know that I am actually irritated. Versus, oh, this is just my. I'm tired. My brain is not able to operate, which means watch the fuck out because now I know.Brad Crowell 6:03  Now we know.Lesley Logan 6:04  Now we know. Now we know. And I'm a January Aquarius, and so some of it is we're tired. We're ready. We're moving on. Anyways, moving on. There's a lot of a lot of events and travel. So upLift is our teacher training program. You probably have heard the rumor. It's been something they've been whispering about. But my teacher training program for new teachers or partially trained teachers is called upLift, and it is going to start early next year in many different cities. If you want to know which cities that are going to be in.Brad Crowell 6:27  Probably around the world, in fact.Lesley Logan 6:29  That's our goal. That's our goal. At the time we're recording this, I'm looking at the applications right now, and I have some really epic educators that have applied that I'm really excited about. We're working really hard to make sure that next year is the right time for them, but you want to go to xxll.co/uws xxll.co/uws. If you are what are what is this all. Brad Crowell 6:51  That's for upLift waitlistLesley Logan 6:53  studentBrad Crowell 6:54  studentLesley Logan 6:54  and you can blame Brad. So go there because I'm updating that waitlist monthly, and those are the people the people who will hear about the locations first. You won't have to wait for the Instagram algorithm to show you something. eLevate is for those who are already trained and you're looking for more of a master's program to study amongst other teachers, and you want to directly study with me. You can look at our live Q and A call that we did earlier this summer. I guess it's at lesleylogan.co/elevate. I will just tell you, we're recording this not when you're hearing it, and at the time of recording, there are two spots left in 2028, and 10 applications that at any time someone could go, yes, I'm ready, but don't let that stop you. Check it out. See, you might get the last spot if that's what you're looking for. Also, eLevate grads are the people who right now can apply to be an upLift educator. So if you were oh I want to be one of those educators, you must have gone through upLift at this time. So check that out. The flashcards. If you didn't know, maybe you love OPC or you're not ready to be an OPC member yet, but you are wanting to study with me, and like the other options are just not what you need right now. You can be a Pilates lover of any level. You can be a teacher of any background. And when you buy the OPC flashcards, you're actually supporting the Nevada SPCA, which is where we got Miss Darla. Go to opc.me/flashcards. We have six decks in there in the set, and they're wonderful. And they're edited by a contemporary trained instructor with contemporary equipment, and they are edited by my sister-in-law, who's never done Pilates. So anyone can read them. And then we have heard so many times people don't know where the posters are. Go to opc.me/posters. Okay, wow, this is a lot of talking. Really quickly, we are headed to Sacramento literally next week, and it's sold out. So you, too bad, so sad. You missed. If you don't have a ticket, you're. We're not seeing you there.Brad Crowell 8:36  Sacramento because Balanced Body is having a Pilates On Tour. It's also their 50th anniversary celebration.Lesley Logan 8:41  You can hang out with me at another 50th celebration, but stay tuned for that. We are going to go from Sacramento by another train to San Francisco. I think this sounds like a terrible idea, but this is what we're doing to fly to Cambodia to lead our retreat. And it was definitely an ADHD planned moment, and now we're going to live it.Brad Crowell 9:00  Oh we're living it.Lesley Logan 9:01  We're living it. Just thinking about the return trip home. So here's the deal, guys. We're driving to Sacramento with the van.Brad Crowell 9:07  Which is nine and a half hours.Lesley Logan 9:08  Nine and a half hours. Okay, sounds fun because it's so much easier than shipping the flashcards. It costs us so much fucking money to do that. Brad Crowell 9:15  It's also trying to get the van at the event.Lesley Logan 9:18  Yeah, but it's not gonna. Brad Crowell 9:21  We're gonna park that right out front. We're we're putting that in they're gonna they're gonna valet park that sucker right in front of the entrance.Lesley Logan 9:28  I know Brad's gonna figure that out because the event is not at their headquarters. Brad Crowell 9:31  No, it's at the Hyatt or something. Lesley Logan 9:32  It's like a thing, right? Yeah. So, anyways, I'll let you figure that out because I that's not my monkey, not my circus. Then we'll be at the event. Then we're gonna park that van at Ken Endelman's house, supposedly, which we have no idea where that is in regards to the Amtrak. We have to take an Amtrak. Hopefully, there's one left. We take the Amtrak to a BART before the BART shut down on a Sunday night. From the BART to our hotel, and then the next morning we fly out of San Francisco. Part of me is just throw money at this problem and park the van somewhere in San Francisco, but it's San Francisco, and I'm a little worried someone's going to move in. So we're not doing that. Not doing that. So, then. Brad Crowell 10:08  No, if we're going to throw money at the problem, we're hiring a private driver from Sacramento.Lesley Logan 10:11  That's a great idea. But here's what's going to happen: we return back, and we have to do the reverse trip, you guys, we have to go BART to Amtrak, Amtrak to the van, and then a nine and a half hour drive home. And this is the part that I don't think my husband has thought through. So you're hearing it first here. I think he is too. So if you want to go to Cambodia next year, when we're not doing planes, trains, and automobiles, you can get on the wait list. I don't know the link for that. Brad will tell you.Brad Crowell 10:39  crowsnestretreats.comLesley Logan 10:41  Great. January is when we'll open up the early bird. We have so many people interested in 2027. I promise you do not want to wait. Brad Crowell 10:48  We had a lot of interest, especially from this summer tour that we just got back from. A lot of interest, and I'm telling you, this past year's trip sold out in three weeks, and I'm sure this one is going to do the same or even faster.Lesley Logan 11:02  Yeah. Then in November, I'm teaching at basically a Pilates On Tour, but in China, outside of Shanghai, I can't tell you how you're going to sign up for that. But I feel I feel like if you Google it, it will happen. They are not. They've not sent me a link for you. So, but people are excited.Brad Crowell 11:17  You can find it online.Lesley Logan 11:18  I'm sure you can. I'm sure you're all here. I'm sure you can all Google, but then because I'm a crazy person, I'm gonna go back to Asia two weeks later to teach at Pilates On Tour Goa.Brad Crowell 11:30  Which is India.Lesley Logan 11:31  Yeah, it is India. I think people know Goa. It looks stunning, you guys. And this particular POT, it's the last one of the 50th year celebration, and when you, it's very different because we all have lunch together. It's more like a retreat style. You are there for the whole event. You are going to go to Instagram Pilates On Tour India, and you can sign up through there because.  Brad Crowell 11:54  It's not on the POT page. It's not on Balanced Body's website.Lesley Logan 11:57  I mean, you know what? It might be.Brad Crowell 11:58  It is. It's xxll.co/potLesley Logan 12:00  Okay, do that. What do I know? I'm just the. Brad Crowell 12:02  I'm sure it's on there.Lesley Logan 12:03  You guys, today is October 1st, which means the tickets drop today for the winter tour. So do not miss out. Go to opc.me/tour because.Brad Crowell 12:12  By the way, if you didn't hear what she just said, the winter tour tickets have just dropped today.Lesley Logan 12:19  Today, today, today, and we, it's going to be a very big tour. I'm actually flying from Goa to Denver, which doesn't make any sense now that I know the route. I'm coming through Europe, so I probably should have met you in New York. Brad Crowell 12:34  Yeah, we're not. We're not doing that. You're coming as close to home as possible, but yeah, we're going to pick her up in in in Denver, and then go from there. But it's exciting to see the route is coming together. We're almost done. I can tell you the first half of the tour is going to take us from we're going to do Fort Collins or just south. There's a smaller town just south of Fort Collins. That's going to be the first tour stop. It's going to go up. There's a couple of stops on the way to Chicago, and there's a bunch more stops on the way to Boston, and then we're gonna scoop back around through New York and then Hershey, we're coming back to you.Lesley Logan 13:06  We love Hershey. You love us. Brad Crowell 13:09  Then we're going down East Coast, but we're gonna cut over to Charlotte, North Carolina, and then we're gonna make our way down to Florida and then back across the country. So those are still TBD. We're working out the-the logistics and all the things. Lesley Logan 13:22  By the time you're hearing this, it's worked out.Brad Crowell 13:24  Oh yeah, it's worked out. Just go to OPC.me/tour. What am I talking about?Lesley Logan 13:27  We're actually just recording this in the past.Brad Crowell 13:30  Yeah.Lesley Logan 13:31  Before it has been because that's how we do life. Okay, we got to move on.Brad Crowell 13:34  Let's go. Let's go.Lesley Logan 13:35  So real quick, you guys, as you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we wanted to spotlight a a project that we actually know the founder of very well. We know Pilates instructors who are part of it. So it's a nonprofit built by the Pilates community, founded in 2012 by Pilates instructor Jill Hinson after she saw firsthand how quickly Reformer work helped two clients recover from breast cancer surgery to regain their strength and mobility. So it's the Core Compassion Project, and realized that most people who could benefit from Pilates couldn't afford it. So, especially when they're going through cancer treatment. So, Core Compassion provides Pilate scholarships to breast cancer patients and survivors. $700 funds 10 private one-on-one sessions with a certified instructor who's specifically trained in post-cancer rehab, which is very important. You can't just show up to any Pilates studio and expect them to be able to support you during this journey, you definitely want someone who understands because they'll probably need what they can also provide is free specialized fitness bras and lymphedema compression sleeves, and then things which are things like survivors are needing, but the insurance doesn't cover most times. Doesn't cover a lot of things anymore. It's 100% volunteer run with a board that includes past scholarship recipients, and every October they rally the Pilates community together through their Compassion MATraiser, where studios and teachers host donation-based classes to fund the mission. If you are a Pilates person listening to this, and probably you are, this is your charity. So find more at corecompassionproject.org, or if you're just someone who wants to support women who are going through this and need this, it's at corecompassionproject.org. Obviously, if you don't have, you can also just supply $5. I mean, they'll take it, I'm sure. So, but $700 gets you gets that person 10 one-on-one sessions, which is really wonderful for someone who can understand what they're going through. So, anyways, if you have a charity you'd like us to look into, or you have a win that you want me to talk about on the FYFs, you can text us at 310-905-5534 or submit it at beitpod.com/questions. Yeah, okay, we're ready to talk about Jamie Lerner, finally.Brad Crowell 15:32  Woo!Brad Crowell 15:34  Welcome back. Let's talk about Jamie Lerner. Jamie is a well-being therapist and an author. She helps people get from where they are to where they want to be. After years as a psychotherapist, Jamie realized that having people look back at their past was not helping them move forward. Instead, it was becoming the very excuse that kept them stuck. So she walked away and looked within, discovering that her superpower was her own inner knowing about her own life, and she was trying to figure out how to explain that to others, how they can get back to that themselves. So today, she teaches people to trust themselves, take personal responsibility, and get lovingly curious about their own inner being. So, she wrote a book. It's called The Ever Loving Essence of You. You can find it on Amazon. She also has a service called The Quickie, which is her texting service where you can buy a package of time and text back and forth with her. Those links are going to be in the show notes. But she clearly has been through the psychotherapy couch sessions and was I'm over this myself. I'm I'm going to help people in a different way. It was really cool.Lesley Logan 16:38  I can't even imagine because I have to be honest. I can't even have friends who repeat themselves and stick get stuck. Like it really, it takes everything in me to listen to someone complain about the same thing for the third time. I cannot. So I could not ever have that job. And she said we we often live in a this victim mentality, and that society actively rewards women for being the victim by putting ourselves last and being overworked, and so it's true because everyone just wears the busy badge, right? I've got the busy badge of honor over here, and look how busy I am, look how tired I am, and look at all the things that I've done. And then guess what, you guys? Let's guess what they're gonna do. When you fail, then they're gonna call you controlling, emotional, emotional perfectionist, some control freak. So you can't win, but it's a false belief that all these other things are more important than our own well-being, and we use, she said, we use being busy as an excuse, choosing to hide behind it simply because we do not know how to include ourselves in self-care, and I think this is really key because I meet so many people who say, well, so it must be so nice for you because you have the time. You don't have kids, so you must have the time. You're right. I don't have kids. I don't have kids. We have two dogs, so I don't. They're not the same. But also, we're very busy. We have three companies plus a fourth in a different country. We have hundreds of members. We have dozens of people on our team. We have a different version of responsibilities. And if I do not take care of myself, I am not going to be able to do these things.Brad Crowell 18:06  Yeah, we we have a different definition of busy, and it doesn't involve you know kids and soccer games.Lesley Logan 18:10  I would say different definition of responsibility. We have different responsibilities. So, but I.  Brad Crowell 18:15  I guess we have a we have the same we have we have the same I'm busy excuse, but just in a different manner.Lesley Logan 18:21  Yeah, but I also, but I really do think that she is correct that we went. Okay, this. Well, I'm glad that we're re-recording this. You guys, this is the second time we record this. We recorded this before tour, and now we're back from tour. And we were in a city. I will not name the city, but we were in a city, and it was, we walked into a restaurant, which, by the way, the team did not tell me that there's probably a dress code. So I walk in, in cutoff shorts and an oversized T-shirt, with my bright red platform Crocs, okay, so I look like hell, and it was definitely the Real Housewives of that city kind of a restaurant. And we got stuck next to this table of the Real Housewives from that city, and I, five minutes of eavesdropping to their table, and I was, "Brad, I fucking cannot. If this is what having friendships like this is supposed to be about in a city, thank God we don't have kids. I could not." All they did was talk about, oh, it was how's your mom, and then the only reason they would listen is if their mom was sick. Oh, how's your kid? If you talked about your kids doing great, they didn't know what to say, so then they said, "Oh, well, she's struggling with this. Oh my god, mine too. Everyone, the conversation only kept going, and you were only rewarded for what you said if it was all negative and you were a victim and something was wrong. My goodness, you know what my favorite conversations with my friends are, is what they celebrate. Oh, I slayed this. Yeah, I bet you did. I love those conversations. So, anyways, but that's how people are rewarded, and then they get rewarded for putting themselves last because they're definitely looked at badly if they put themselves first by those people. But I would say there's a whole group of people like me who are ready to celebrate you putting yourself first. So, and Jamie, that's what Jamie wants.Brad Crowell 19:58  And Jamie. Absolutely. One thing I loved that Jamie said was that we are all born with a knowing, which acts as like a natural internal compass. This is very foreign idea to me. I did not grow up with anyone explaining that I could look inwardly and I could understand what I'm feeling and if something is right or wrong for me. You know, it's just not how I was raised.Lesley Logan 20:22  So I wasn't raised that way, but I know I had this, and that's why I felt like a weirdo, and that's why I was getting like I would get in trouble because the inner knowing was the compass. I don't actually know where East and West is, but I know what felt good, and that what people were wanting me to do did not feel good. Yeah, I didn't know how to do it. I didn't know what I was doing, so I was just.Brad Crowell 20:39  I definitely wasn't a people-pleaser. I was definitely the rebel, and I did the rebel. Lesley Logan 20:44  Yeah, I would say you have an inner knowing. You wore ridiculous clothes every single day. Brad Crowell 20:48  Yeah, but it was a little bit of like an FU to the man in a sense, as a teenager.Lesley Logan 20:51  Yeah, because there's an inner knowing that you that you wanted to do that.Brad Crowell 20:53  I did want to do that, and I was I always looked out to see how I could stick a thorn in the side of the process without actually getting in trouble, yeah, that's how I rolled. I didn't really want to get in trouble, but I really wanted to cause trouble. Does that make sense? Lesley Logan 21:07  You just wanted to see how far you could do without being in trouble because you wanted to feel like you were breaking the rules without breaking the rules. Brad Crowell 21:13  Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Yeah, you know. But anyway, this inner knowing that Jamie's talking about, she explained because of the contrast of life, society trains us to look outside of ourselves for pretty much everything, right? I mean, the irony is that we have a podcast telling you to look inwardly, but I think that it is just natural for us to look outside of ourselves. Our our parents, our church, our work, our friends, our siblings-you know-we're constantly looking to others for approval, I was the same way, especially when I was younger.Lesley Logan 21:43  Oh, we're raised to look at other people for approval, especially women. But I'm sure you, too, because even the Boy Scouts are the troop leaders going to give you these badges. Did you do a good enough job? Everything is to get other people's opinions of you to matter, but that's not whose opinion matters.Brad Crowell 21:58  Yeah, and seeking that external validation causes us to lose the basic sense of can we even trust our own decisions? What do we actually want for us? We don't even know what we want for us most of the time. Well, especially when we were growing up, what we wanted for us was what our parents told us we wanted for us, and then and then like somewhere in there, we're supposed to be oh now I get to choose what I want for me, you know, and and and we don't shift. Oh, you know, we're still looking to.Lesley Logan 22:26  Well, you never got to practice it.Brad Crowell 22:28  Right. Yeah, and and her argument is it's very easy for us to get back to looking internally, and she says that there's a trust that gets built when you sit with yourself, and she was talking about it's not even complicated in the sense of this meditation idea that I could never wrap my head around. And she said, "You know, you don't need to do any anything like that. It could just be five minutes of silence drinking a cup of coffee, where you just have a moment of you with you.Lesley Logan 22:57  Oh my god! I forgot my AirPods yesterday on the dog walk.Brad Crowell 22:59  Weird. Lesley Logan 23:00  I know. I loved it.Brad Crowell 23:03  Oh, that was like an hour. Yeah. Well, good for you. Lesley Logan 23:06  I mean, here's the deal. I loved the first half, and then the second half, I was done with it myself because I'm in my head all day, you know. So I didn't need more time. But so I did listen to a podcast without headphones, and well, the neighbors get to listen to my my true crime. But the first half was just like such a nice. I could hear the birds and all the things, and I was. This is wonderful. Maybe I should just not put them in until halfway.Brad Crowell 23:28  I mean, I love that.Lesley Logan 23:29  It's a it's a good intention.Brad Crowell 23:31  There's value. There's value.Lesley Logan 23:32  I will say you don't even have to do that. Five minutes is actually not that long, and you you sit out on the front porch, you know, or you could walk around a block, or you could just walk across the street. But you should get outside and be quiet.Brad Crowell 23:46  So if you want a feeling of coming home to yourself, start to look inward and see what that means. You know?Lesley Logan 23:52  I'm all. Here's the thing: she does make it sound so simple in a way that I did challenge her. Is it really that simple? Hold on. Is there? I mean, I was Jamie, people aren't gonna think it's that simple, but I think we overcomplicate things, and people have overcomplicated things to sell you something. And she's, it's actually, it is actually simple. And I think sometimes we think, well, then it must not work. But I really did believe, I do, I do trust what she had to say at the end. You know what? I bet you it is that simple, and we just want it to be complicated because then we can't do it. Brad Crowell 24:24  Yeah, I mean, but what is it? You know, when you're, what does it mean to look inwardLesley Logan 24:29  To listen to yourself and not other people?Brad Crowell 24:31  Yeah.Lesley Logan 24:31  Oh gosh, I mean, I think it means that you. Well, this is what people won't want to do, and they feel like they're going to let people down because they're doing things for themselves and not for other people. But you, the only we can let people down is if you are actually incapable of being empathetic and loving and and taking and. Brad Crowell 24:47  No, that's not what I mean. What's the practice of looking inward? Lesley Logan 24:50  I think that's personal.Brad Crowell 24:52  Yeah, but we have to give them an actual tangible. Lesley Logan 24:55  Well, I think Jamie did it in in the podcast. I think it's in these takeaways.Brad Crowell 24:59  So I'm gonna tell you that sitting with yourself and actually not distracting yourself and having a moment to think, that's.Lesley Logan 25:10  Yeah, but I'm not gonna tell you right now because I'm looking ahead.Brad Crowell 25:12  All right, well stick around. We'll be right back. Because that was a great teaser.Brad Crowell 25:15  Woo! Welcome back. Let's dig into those Be It Action Items that we had with Jamie Lerner on the last episode, what bold, executable, intrinsic, or targeted action items can we take away from Lesley's convo with her? She said, "Hey, laugh when you judge others, because what that means is that we're actually judging ourselves because we're projecting. We are projecting, and you know, take it from a psychotherapist to understand the technical elements of all those things, she says it simply means we're just projecting how we feel about ourselves onto others because we're judging them. And what that means is we are not connected to ourselves. We are not looking inward on ourselves at all in that moment. And she said it takes a little bit of practice, but when you start to identify that you're judging others, you should laugh at yourself. So I thought that was really funny. Go laugh with yourself, not at yourself.Lesley Logan 26:07  Yeah, yeah. No, it's like, hahahaha, I clearly want that. Or there's something about that. How that's so funny. I didn't realize it's something I wanted, or that's something that there's something about that I desire. Or there's you know I actually don't think it's bad to be jealous, I think it is bad to judge yourself for being jealous and not actually taking a moment to know what about that thing is making me have the grass is greener? Oh, there's something about that that you want. Maybe not that exact thing, but there's an energy or an emotion or something. And so I think taking the time to notice what you're jealous of, or we have a couple solo episodes about comparison. I think just came out. Anyways, about comparison, and we compare ourselves when the clarity isn't clear about what we want. And when clarity is clear, you're gonna be more likely to see that someone else doing something has nothing to do with your ability to do something. But when you are comparing yourself to someone else, and that jealousy is there. Then it's a sign, like, "Oh, I'm not clear on what I want. How silly of me to be so hard on myself when I obviously haven't finished planning."Brad Crowell 27:11  Yeah, she said, "It's an observation of how often you're disconnected in any given moment, and the realization and laughter allows you to reconnect with yourself. So there's no time to judge yourself for judging others. But what about you?Lesley Logan 27:25  Well, this goes into the question you had about going inward. She said, and I'll go back to the other things that she said, set aside 10 minutes every day. That's not even a half a percent of your day. Set aside 10 minutes every day, or just little moments here and there to get tuned back into yourself. And she said, "You can sit quietly and notice how often we're unkind and cruel to ourselves in a way we would never speak to another person. And she said, "In this time, ask yourself questions that are lovingly curious. Oh, I wonder why I am so interested in what that person is doing, or I wonder why I'm so intrigued by that, or I wonder what would allow me to be able to do something like that. Have some loving curiosity about yourself instead of having demanding immediate solutions. Go of needing an answer and just asking is enough. We can go back to episode one.Brad Crowell 28:11  Wow.Lesley Logan 28:11  Episode one is about just being like it is. Brad Crowell 28:15  I wonder.Lesley Logan 28:16  I wonder. You know, and so, opening a loop in your brain, so that you can oh, yeah. I don't think they can read. It's really hard.Brad Crowell 28:25  It's hard.Lesley Logan 28:26  It's hard. Brad Crowell 28:27  If you're watching on YouTube, we are trying to. There's my 1/3 tattoo on my hand, and it's on for me to see, which makes it very difficult for you to see. So she said, practice this moment by moment, which I also love because.Brad Crowell 28:39  Wait, what did she say?Lesley Logan 28:40  She said, "Practice this moment by moment", and that's something I also love because we are so hard on ourselves to be able to do this all the time. No, you do little bits, and over time they add up to lots of bits, and then it takes more of your day. And she said, "Most important," she said, "Know yourself, love yourself, and trust yourself, and laugh a lot with yourself." And I do think I remember my parents always saying, "Laughter brings healing to the bones." Brad Crowell 29:05  It's the best medicine. Lesley Logan 29:07  It's the best medicine. It's a great core workout. So I couldn't agree more.Brad Crowell 29:10  That's what they said?Lesley Logan 29:11  Well, they didn't talk about the core workout, but I added that part. They would take a lesson, go, "Laughter brings healing to the bones."Brad Crowell 29:17  Wow. I don't think my parents did that.Lesley Logan 29:21  We had very different childhoods. Brad Crowell 29:23  They just tickle monster us.Lesley Logan 29:24  You you had a very consistent one. Mine was a little bit of a roller coaster.Brad Crowell 29:28  Healing to the bones.Lesley Logan 29:32  You know what's something so funny is I was in my Pilates session today, and my teacher Kim was talking to these other two women who were in the group, and they said they said something. He goes, "No, you're not weak. You're impatient." And I laughed so hard as, and they're like, "Oh, I have to put that on my wall. You're not weak. You're just impatient." Yeah, you guys are just expecting yourself to be good about something you just learned yesterday. You're not. It's not a weakness. It's like you're expecting something to happen tomorrow when you just learned how to do it yesterday. You know. So be kind. Have some loving curiosity.Brad Crowell 30:10  Yeah. 10 minutes will do that. Set aside.Lesley Logan 30:13  I'm Lesley Logan,Brad Crowell 30:13  and I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 30:14  You're amazing. Go send this to a friend as they hear it. Go laugh with yourself.

Getting a utility patent can feel like planting a giant legal flag in your invention and declaring, “Mine!”Unfortunately, patent law has a few more footnotes than that.In this episode, we explore one of the most important questions inventors, startup founders, and small business owners should understand before spending money pursuing patent protection: What does a utility patent actually NOT protect?Utility patents can provide valuable protection for qualifying inventions involving how something works or is used. But they don't automatically protect every idea, concept, feature, creative element, or business opportunity connected to an invention.

Sarah Schädli und Jasmin Stettler von der Glitzerfabrik erzählen im Studio ihre außergewöhnliche Lebensgeschichte: vom radikalen Neuanfang mit null Franken auf dem Konto über das Leben im Wohnmobil bis hin zum Aufbau ihres eigenen Unternehmens. Wir sprechen darüber, warum die klassische Ehe oder traditionelle Rentensysteme keine verlässliche Altersvorsorge mehr bieten, wie Sparen im Fiat-System durch Inflation entwertet wird und weshalb Bitcoin weit mehr ist als ein Investment – nämlich ein Werkzeug für echte Selbstbestimmung, Eigenverantwortung und Persönlichkeitsentwicklung. - GlitzerfabrikLEADING PARTNER

If you were to die today, what would happen to you after your final breath? Really – I want you to think about that. What comes after this life for you? Would you say Heaven comes next? And what is it that makes you think you would gain access? What is it that qualifies you? Have you been good enough? Does the good in you outweigh the bad? Have you asked forgiveness for absolutely every little thing? Have you made all your wrongs right? Have you done enough good deeds? Have you upheld all the laws and rules and lived a righteous enough life? If all eternity hangs on this, then it’s important to know – right? You want to be certain of your fate. If there’s one thing you really want to get right, it’s this. It’s a big deal – FOREVER. May I be honest with you? Sis, you haven’t been good enough. You haven’t upheld the laws. You have fallen short. You are not qualified for Heaven … not on your own. Your human effort has never been good enough, not even on your best day. And THAT is precisely why you need Jesus. In the Bible, there’s a man named Saul who had every reason to believe he could possibly meet the mark on his own. He had done everything he was supposed to do from birth. He was born into the right line of people, he had studied the law and lived in strict obedience without fault. Up until his encounter with Jesus, his entire life had been nothing but self-righteous acts, checking boxes, and persecuting anyone that tried to remove his boxes. This movement of Jesus was an enemy to his continual effort of earning Heaven. Saul wanted to put an end to the up-rise of the followers of Jesus who believed this one man’s blood could save them. He couldn’t possibly believe what had happened on that cross was a satisfactory fulfillment of the laws he had spent his life following. His full intentions were to kill the followers of Jesus – put an end to this nonsense of grace. Saul had gotten a letter from the high priest requesting the arrest of every follower of Jesus he found in the town of Damascus where this Jesus movement had spread in the immediate years following Jesus’ death on the cross. He was going to shut down this blasphemy. He was going to wipe out these people who weren’t good enough for Heaven. So now Saul is on his way to Damascus, mad as he can be with plans of destroying the hope of a faith that could save you from Hell – and there he has a divine encounter with Jesus. Yes, the Jesus who had died on the cross a few years earlier. The Jesus he was speaking out against. And here on the road as he was marching into Damascus to complete his mission of destroying this spreading faith, something miraculous happens. Acts 9, 3-9, “A light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?’ ‘Who are you, lord?’ Saul asked. And the voice replied, ‘I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.’ The men around him were speechless, for they heard the sound of someone’s voice but saw no one! Saul picked himself up off the ground, but when he opened his eyes he was blind. So his companions led him by the hand to Damascus. he remained there blind for three days and did not eat or drink.” Now, THAT is an encounter with Jesus. Saul could no longer deny him. He knew Jesus had been crucified. He knew he was dead. But now, he had experienced Jesus for himself and he just couldn’t deny him any longer. What happens next is my favorite part of the story. God tells a man named Ananias to go to a very specific street to find a very specific man’s house. God said a man named Saul would be in that house. Verse 15, God says, “Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message.” Yes, this is who God wants to use. He’s chosen him. Saul, the one who lived his entire life in self-righteousness, now completely humbled without sight, sitting in a house not eating or drinking, praying to God to understand how he could have possibly been so wrong all while he was trying to live so right. God had a message for him to spread. So Ananias goes to that specific street to a specific man’s house, finds Saul there and lays his hands on him. Verse 17, Ananias said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road, has sent me so that you might regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Next it says, “Instantly something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he got up and was baptized. Afterward he ate some food and regained his strength.” Do you know what he did immediately after this? He started preaching about Jesus! He began telling absolutely everyone he could about the Savior. The boxes of self-righteousness were gone, now, all that mattered was faith in the one who makes us righteous. JESUS. Saul begins going by his new name with a new identity – Paul. This new name meant ‘humble’, and that’s what had happened to him. He had been humbled. That’s what an encounter with Jesus does to us – it humbles us. It shows us that we alone could simply never be good enough – we desperately need him. Do you humbly accept what Jesus has done for you to gain Heaven? As humans we battle with one thing that gets in the way of the humility required to believe in Jesus – that’s our PRIDE. Pride says, “no, I’ll earn it.” Pride says, “I’ll be good enough on my own.” Pride puffs us up in some imaginary competition where the best one gets to be saved. After about 25 years of living with this new humble identity as Paul, the follower of Jesus covered and saved by grace, Paul writes a letter to the church he started in Philippi. He reminds them about the problem with self-righteousness and the beautiful solution of Jesus-righteousness. Philippians 3:3, “We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort.” How can he write that so confidently? Because he lived the first half of his life being totally self-righteous. Because that unmistakable encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus left him forever humbled and changed. Now he knows the truth – the truth that he was never good enough on his own and never could be. The truth that his pride was taking him straight to Hell. The truth that he’s only saved by grace through faith in Jesus. My sister, are you relying on what Jesus has done, or are you relying on what you’re doing? Is your confidence in what you can do, or is your confidence in what Jesus has already done? Paul reminds us that we were never meant to earn our way into Heaven by being good enough. We need something—and Someone—we could never provide for ourselves: the righteousness of Jesus. He says in Philippians 3:9, “I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.” So let me ask you one more time, Sis: if you were to take your final breath today, what would happen next? And more importantly, what are you counting on to get you there? Your goodness? Your church attendance? Your Bible reading? Your good deeds? Your ability to follow the rules? Your efforts to make things right? Your belief that, surely, the good in you outweighs the bad? Or are you counting on Jesus? Because there are only two ways to approach God: you can stand on what you have done, or you can stand on what Jesus has done. You can keep trying to be self-righteous, or you can receive the righteousness Jesus offers you. Your goodness will never be enough. Mine won’t either. That’s not bad news—that’s actually the best news! Because Jesus never asked you to be good enough to save yourself. He came because you couldn’t. You don’t have to earn what Jesus already paid for. You don’t have to prove yourself worthy. You don’t have to clean yourself up enough to deserve His grace. You simply have to surrender your pride, place your faith in Jesus, and receive what you could never accomplish on your own. Paul spent the first part of his life desperately trying to be righteous enough. Then he met Jesus and discovered the freedom of knowing that Jesus would be righteous for him. Sis, don’t spend another day trying to earn what Jesus is offering you as a gift. Drop your pride. Put down your boxes. Put down your self-righteousness. And put your confidence in Jesus. Because when your final breath comes, the question won’t be, “Were you good enough?” The answer to that is no. The question is, “What did you do with Jesus?” And if your answer is, “I put my faith in Him,” then you don’t have to face eternity hoping you were good enough. You can face it knowing He was. Not self-righteous. Jesus-righteous. That’s the only righteousness that will ever be enough.

Yours, Mine, & God's // Seth Owens // CDA Campus by The Heart

Welcome back to Cheers with Nat – the podcast dedicated to cheering on women in drinks. Today's guest is Joanne Love, Craft Marketing Manager at hop company BarthHaas and co-host of the podcast A Woman's Brew. Jo's been working in the beer industry for just over 4 years now, but she discovered her love of beer in her previous role… as a costumer on a cruise ship! A self-proclaimed 'creative person', Jo studied textiles and spent 8 years at sea as a wardrobe supervisor, helping to bring the ship's shows to life. So, how the heck did she go from that role to working in the drinks industry? Well, you're just going to have to listen in to find out! For anyone curious about making a transition into drinks from another industry, this episode is for you. Jo reflects on her transferrable skills, the thread that's carried through all of her roles to date, the many hobbies that keep her busy outside of work – and how they've helped her to get to where she is today, too.   What stuck with me from this conversation: On her role as craft marketing manager: "It's a bit of strategy, a bit of planning, a bit of running events. I quite like that it's not the same every day." On doing a little bit of everything:"I found this phrase lately that I really like, 'I'm a jack of all trades and a hoe of all hobbies'." On recognising her own skills: "You are still not sure right up until the end of that contract if you're going to get another one… I was lucky because, well, I say I was lucky, but actually I was good at my job. And so then I kept getting taken back on to the next thing and the next thing." On the thread throughout her career: "I didn't think I was strategic, but now when I look back at it, it's all of these things that I did along the way that are very strategic." On her podcast: "We really wanted it to be an opportunity to elevate other peoples' voices. Like, it's not really about us. It's about getting information out to people about beer, so they feel more confident about it. And it's about getting other people's voices out…you know, we've tried to get some of those lesser known breweries out there to be heard. And we just kinda do that and we don't really think about the impact that that's had." On her impact: "I had a brewer come up to me once at a festival and say 'I'm a brewer because of you'." On what keeps her in the drinks industry: "The creativity, beause this is art, as well. Craft brewers are doing amazing, crazy things. And I love that we're a small, artisanal industry that's still trying things, still trying to push the boundaries, and having a good time doing it."   Links & things: What we're drinking: Merakai Espresso for my Depresso coffee stout (5.4%) Brewed for International Women's Collaboration Brew Day Using Edge Tea & Coffee Where Jo works: BarthHaas Hop products, including Spectrum and Prysma Hop academy and webinars Jo's video with the Malt Miller Curious to try some green hop beers?

Message Take Aways:1. The reign of King Manasseh was one of terrible depravity as he seduced the kingdom into acting more abhorrent than even the pagan nations, a tragic departure from Israel's calling—“Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” Exodus 19:5-62. In His mercy, the Lord gave a decree of coming judgment to warn King Manasseh that he might recognize his sin and repent, but he paid no attention—“I will hand them over to trouble, to all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.” Jeremiah 15:43. King Amon refused to humble himself before the Lord ushering in another spiritual decline in the kingdom of Judah—“Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 7:12

Haggai 2:1-9, In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying: 2 “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying: 3 ‘Who is left among you who saw this temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? In comparison with it, is this not in your eyes as nothing? 4 Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,' says the Lord; ‘and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,' says the Lord, ‘and work; for I am with you,' says the Lord of hosts. 5 ‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!' 6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this [d]temple with glory,' says the Lord of hosts. 8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the Lord of hosts. 9 ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,' says the Lord of hosts.”

My chaste slave!Locktober doesn't begin on October 1. It begins the night you stop negotiating with yourself and choose a clear, total commitment. I am setting the tone on the eve of October with a direct plan: "Get your cage ready, get your body ready, and wake up already locked so you don't miss a single second of the 31 day chastity challenge."I talk through what makes this work for real people, not just the fantasy version. That means practical rules for staying locked, what to do if you absolutely must unlock for work or an appointment, and why a pause is not failure if you relock as soon as you can. As Queen, I also draw a hard line around the most common derailers: porn habits, the urge to masturbate, and the moment you decide you're “out” instead of staying accountable.If you've ever started strong and slipped, the focus here is on finishing with honour, even if that means extending your timeline into November.Then I move into a guided meditative hypnosis built for discipline and devotion. Breathing cues, body relaxation, and vivid lock imagery help you anchor the mindset behind male chastity, mental chastity, and long-term self-control. You'll hear the mantra “chastity is freedom” repeated until it lands as a felt belief, not just words, and you'll leave with a sharper sense of purpose for the month ahead.If you're taking Locktober seriously, listen all the way through!CAGE ON! CHASTITY QUEEN XOXOTry to connect with your local BDSM community.

South Africa's Sinesipho Dambile won the first big gold of his career in 2026, taking the Commonwealth Games 200 metres title in Glasgow. It was special for so many reasons. When he was growing up, he remembered vividly Akanni Simbine coming to his school to speak to them about winning the 2018 Commonwealth 100 metres gold. Sinesipho made the most of the opportunity to ask South Africa's brand-new Commonwealth sprint champion plenty of questions - and later Simbine wouldn't just be a mentor, he'd be a team-mate as well.We relive the semi-final and the final in Glasgow. Sinesipho was the only athlete at the Games to break 20 seconds, doing so in both of his races. But, having laid down a marker winning his semi-final so convincingly, what was it like lining up for the final as the favourite? He knew that all of South Africa would be watching and willing him to bring home the gold. When he crossed the line, the first thing he saw was South African fans in the stands and the celebrations began. But his greatest supporter has always been his Mum, so what did she say when he called her later that night?Sinesipho tells us all about where he grew up and how his village had produced stars before, in rugby union and in track and field. He discusses how it feels to be a part of that legacy and to add to it. He also explains why it's so important to him to have followed in the footsteps of an all-time great like Namibia's Frankie Fredericks, who was the last African man to win the Commonwealth 200 metres gold.The men's 200 metres at the London 2012 Olympics is a special race as far as Sinesipho is concerned. It's his favourite performance by Usain Bolt. The Jamaican started out as a 200 metres specialist before adding the 100 to his repertoire and then dominating both sprints, setting the world records which have stood since 2009. That's the pathway Sinesipho wants to tread as well - so what advice did Bolt share with him when they met in Tokyo during the 2025 World Championships?We explore the mental side of sprinting and Sinesipho explains how hard he's worked to maintain and improve his focus. That's impacted everything from how he trains to how he behaves when he's out on the Diamond League circuit. How does he make sure he feels at home in those cities and what does he like to do when the season's over and he really can go home to his family and friends?This is an era of unprecedented success for South African sprinting. Sinesipho is among those leading the way and describes the environment that's enabled him and his international team-mates to rise to the top.Sinesipho believes that fate chooses you and, when it does, accepting the pressure that comes with that is a privilege. He explains why the World and Olympic 200 metres gold medals are the next step, and the planning that's already gone into topping the podium in Beijing and Los Angeles.Photo: Gold medalist Sinesipho Dambile of Team South Africa poses for a photo during the medal ceremony for Men's 200 Metres Final during the Athletics on day eight of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games at Scotstoun Stadium on July 31, 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B, A-King, and Jason “Jah” Lee celebrate International Podcast Day while tackling ownership, collective action, accountability, and some of the week’s biggest cultural stories. After previewing the episode [ 00:45 ], they celebrate podcasting [ 02:36 ] while getting candid about the work, resources, and costs required to produce quality content [ 03:59 ] and why creative labor and consulting deserve proper compensation [08:21 ]. The crew then debates OutKast’s trademark dispute with producer/rapper Ovrkast [ 09:07 ], questioning ownership, intellectual property, name recognition, and perceived hypocrisy in music-industry trademark battles [ 21:26 ]. In “This Is America,” they react to reports of a potential semi-truck strike around October 1 [ 23:09 ], using it to examine the power of collective protest [ 27:48 ], frustration over fuel prices and inflation [ 29:24 ], shrinkflation [ 30:13], and how disruptions to trucking could affect shipping and everyday goods [ 31:17 ], before imagining a future of electric semis and automation [ 32:51 ]. After some group-chat accountability [ 34:19 ], they revisit the Nolan Wells case in Mississippi and questions surrounding the grand jury’s decision not to bring charges and disputed evidence about his death [ 35:22 ], followed by a broader discussion about media narratives and public fear [ 38:54 ]. They also examine questions surrounding the George Floyd family’s $19 million GoFundMe [ 43:30 ] and calls for greater clarity over how the funds were handled [ 46:41 ]. The conversation shifts to conflict, accountability, and “pressing” people in public, beginning with a debate involving Rory and QueenzFlip [ 50:15 ], the real-life risks of confrontations [ 53:17 ], and how pride and ego can escalate situations [ 55:30 ]. They revisit Rory confronting QueenzFlip [ 55:59 ], debate consequences versus emotional reactions [ 56:45 ], whether conflict still counts as content when cameras go off [ 58:09 ], and the value of resolving disagreements face-to-face [ 59:13 ], before some hypothetical Drake fight talk [ 01:01:25 ]. From there, the crew discusses Ryan Clark receiving backing from former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz for a new media venture [ 01:02:41 ], questioning why more Black wealth hasn’t flowed into Black-owned media and emerging creators [ 01:05:04 ]. The episode closes by unpacking Kimora Lee Simmons’ recollection of Tyra Banks warning her about dating Russell Simmons as a teenager [ 01:08:46 ], criticizing arguments that shift responsibility toward younger women instead of older adults [01:10:10 ], and discussing the importance of older women warning and protecting younger women [ 01:15:18 ]. A debate over dating a friend’s ex follows [ 01:16:11 ], along with some “Auntie Mandii” aging jokes [ 01:19:20 ], before the crew begins wrapping up [ 01:20:19 ], returns to the trucker-strike conversation with a Sunny D tangent [ 01:21:35 ], and signs off with final credits [ 01:22:52 ].

That's what happened at our very first VIP day. In this episode of Meant to Win, Dr. Stephanie Wigner takes you inside the weekend with 10 business owners at headquarters. Everyone did homework in advance, so Steph and the coaches knew what each person needed before they walked in. Then they hot seated the one thing that would move the needle most. For many, that was money. Steph breaks down how she allocates her own profit, what goes back into the business, what she keeps for fun money, and what goes into investments. She also shares the first thing she checks in any business: your financial infrastructure and your business model. You'll hear about a nurse practitioner spending $4,000 a month on Google Ads and $2,000 on Facebook with no idea what she's getting back. You'll hear how a snowbird practice can turn a $400 patient into a $1,200 patient in four months by selling three services instead of one. You'll also hear about LLC vs S Corp, write-offs, getting the right people in the right seats, and whether it's time to stop optimizing for balance and go all in. Then she shares what her team is planning. VIP days are coming two or three times a year, stacked with their quarterly EOS days so it's easier on coaches who live all over the world. The 2027 calendar is getting set now, so clients can plan their year around retreats, pop-up masterminds, Meant to Win in February, and a tour event in early August. If you're a visionary who resists planning ahead, this part is for you. Structure is what gives your team and your clients their freedom. CHAPTERS00:00 Hosting our first ever VIP day02:39 How we prepped and what we hot seated03:17 Why your business model decides how much you keep04:02 Know your numbers: the ad spend and break-even math05:10 Snowbird season and raising lifetime value05:56 Selling more to the person right in front of you06:30 Structures, write-offs, and going all in on the dream07:00 Mindset, money restrictiveness, and getting the right team07:30 Why intentional events feel like more than their money's worth08:02 Planning 2027 with your team08:46 What the event cadence looks like09:19 Visionaries and why structure gives you freedom KEY TAKEAWAYIf your business model isn't built for profitability and scale, serving hundreds of people won't change your personal finances.

LESSON 273The Stillness Of The Peace Of God Is Mine.Perhaps we are now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. If this is not yet feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how such a day can be achieved. If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell our minds, with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His Son.Father, Your peace is mine. What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of what You would have me keep? I cannot lose Your gifts to me. And so the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal love for You.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Aditi Shirali is a psychologist in Adelaide. On 11 October she's putting on Voices In My Head at Star Theatres. It's her second show. The first was for adults. This one is for teenagers and their parents, and tickets are sold as a parent and teen combo.We talked about her show, then about our own parents. We ran out of time.The show. Aditi says teenagers have a weird competition with their parents. We try to impress them and achieve things for them, then they say their girl has lost the spark. Until about 12, kids copy you. Then hormones arrive. Her show is about how parents talk to their kids, because the way you talk becomes their inner voice. She told her son she'd be unavailable for a couple of weeks. He told his dad that Mum was stressed and to leave her alone. If she'd told him to go away, she says, he'd have decided he was the problem.The critical voice.Aditi hears her mother's voice in her own sessions. Her suggestion is to call your mum by her first name. Mine is Sarla.Projection. One of Aditi's first assignments in Adelaide was training a room of Aussie tradies and one older woman. She kept looking to the woman for validation and realised she was treating her like her mum. India and Australia. Aditi did her bachelor's in Mumbai, her master's in Wales, her internship in Greece, and spent part of school in Doha. Her Adelaide clients are 99.5 percent local Australians, aged five to 77. Her view is that people are people. Australian families are involved, just differently. Indian families take each other for granted and always show up.Rent and chores. I have words about Australian parents charging their kids rent. Aditi's view is moderation. Her son writes his chores in an account book and it goes into his own account when he's older. Full rent is cruel, she says.Hitting. Aditi says no, and separates it from containing a child mid-tantrum. It gets you a fearful child or a rebellious one. My mum hit me regularly. I was rebellious. In my mid-20s I told her she wasn't doing it anymore and she stopped.Racism. During one of her first assignments in Adelaide, Aditi once heard two white Australians talking about how white Australia was better. They apologised to her during the break. She asked where their grandparents were from. Everyone except Aboriginal people comes from somewhere else, she told them. She tells her own kids the divide is political.Tickets for Voices In My Head are on Eventbrite, or through the link in Aditi's Instagram bio. She sees clients online on weekends and works from Okay Psychology in Adelaide.Aditi Shirali: Instagram | T.E.A. ConnectionNaina: Instagram | Website | YouTube | Be a guest

Recorded 26th November 2024In this profound spiritual discourse, participants delve into the sweet and deep verses of Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura's Prema-bhakti-candrikā. The discussion explores the nature of intense spiritual desire (lālasā), the realization of divya-darśan (transcendental vision), and how divine mercy is ever-present—waiting only for us to remove our material expectations and accept it.Key Topics Covered: Spiritual Crying & Greed: How weeping out of spiritual desire differs from material sorrow, acting as the essential force to transcend bodily consciousness. Understanding Divya-Darśan: The shift from formal initiation to complete spiritual vision and realized transcendental knowledge. Removing the Costumes of Ego: Stripping away worldly roles (businessman, teacher, artist, parent) to present the naked soul to Guru and Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. The Matchless Luster of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī: Meditations from Rādhā-rasa-sudhā-nidhi on Her soothing, golden effulgence that transforms the blue environment of Vrindavan into golden Gaurāṅga. Healthy Spiritual Madness: Exploring the intense feelings of separation (viraha) through a poignant prayer by Śrīla Ananta dāsa Bābājī of Rādhā-kuṇḍa.

Power of Praying Scriptures over your Marriage: Special Patreon Release with Jodie Berndt   1 Thessalonians 3:12 (NIV) "May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you."   *Transcription Below*   Jodie Berndt is bestselling author of the Praying the Scriptures book series, which includes volumes for Children, Teens, Adult Children, and Life, plus the new Praying the Scriptures for Your Marriage (2023). Jodie has been a trusted speaker, Bible teacher, and prayer warrior for over thirty years. She and her husband, Robbie, have four married children, and they live in Virginia Beach, Virginia.   Connect with Jodie through her website or Instagram.   Questions and Topics We Discuss: What are some ancient truths from Scripture that stand out to you, specifically as it relates to marriage? Will you share a few of the helpful questions for couples that you write in the book? How have you seen kindness open the door to changes in a marriage?   Thank You to Our Sponsors: Chick-fil-A East Peoria and The Savvy Sauce Charities (and donate online here)   Connect with The Savvy Sauce on Facebook or Instagram or Our Website   Please help us out by sharing this episode with a friend, leaving a 5-star rating and review, and subscribing to this podcast!   Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”   Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”   Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.”   Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”   Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”   Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”   John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”   Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”   Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”   Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”   Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”   *Transcription*   Music: (0:00 – 0:09)   Laura Dugger: (0:10 - 2:47) Welcome to The Savvy Sauce, where we have practical chats for intentional living. I'm your host, Laura Dugger, and I'm so glad you're here.   I want to say a huge thank you to today's sponsors for this episode, Chick-fil-A East Peoria and Savvy Sauce Charities.   If this is your first time here, welcome! You may be wondering what it means to have a special Patreon release. So, here's the scoop. Patreon was a platform we used to generate financial support for The Savvy Sauce, and we expressed our thanks to those paying patrons by giving them a bonus episode every month. But, in 2024, we transitioned away from Patreon when we became a non-profit called Savvy Sauce Charities. The podcast is part of this non-profit, which exists to resource loved ones to inspire growth and intimacy with God and others.   So, people used to pay to support us through Patreon, but now they can just donate directly to our non-profit. We spend thousands of dollars each year to record and produce these episodes, and we do pray that they're beneficial and that God sees fit to use them to be transformational in your life. If that is the case, if you have ever benefited from an episode of The Savvy Sauce, would you consider showing your gratitude through your financial generosity? Any amount is greatly appreciated. In fact, if every listener gave only $1 per month, it would completely offset our costs. We have all the details on our website, thesavvysauce.com, but feel free to also reach out to our team anytime if you want to partner together. Our email address is info@thesavvysauce.com.   And now I'm pleased to share this episode with you that used to only be available to paying patrons. Jodie Berndt is my guest today. She is the bestselling author of the Praying the Scriptures book series, and today we're going to focus on the powerful way to pray the scriptures for our marriage. And I just want to give you a heads up that you may hear a lot of airplanes in the background during our conversation, but I hope it doesn't take away from all the goodness Jodie is about to share. Here's our chat.   Welcome to The Savvy Sauce, Jodie.   Jodie Berndt: (2:49 - 2:53) Laura, thank you. It is just a huge treat to be able to chat with you today.   Laura Dugger: (2:54 - 2:59) Well, will you begin by just first telling us a bit about yourself and the work that you get to do?   Jodie Berndt: (3:01 - 4:19) Sure. Yes. Well, like you, I have four children. Mine are grown now, though. I have three daughters and then a son at the end, and they're all adults and married and having kids of their own. I met my husband back when we were in college. We both went to the University of Virginia and got married right after college, kind of jumped into the whole marriage and family thing. By today's standards, it seems ridiculously young. I look back and I think I don't know what we were thinking. But as Robbie, my husband says, when you meet the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the rest of your life to start right now. And I think we both kind of felt that way. And so, we've been married now, I guess, nearly 38 years.   Your listeners may know that I write books. I write the Praying the Scriptures books. I've done others as well. But those are the ones that I am primarily focused on now. Praying the Scriptures for Your Children, your teens, your adult children, your life, because we needed ourselves too. And then most recently, Praying the Scriptures for Your Marriage. So, I never set out to become a prayer writer or even a book writer. But golly, I have realized the power of prayer and my desperate need for God's help in all things. So, I think it sort of fell backwards into it. And it's been a fun journey.   Laura Dugger: (4:20 - 4:37) Well, and I first encountered that book that you mentioned, Praying the Scriptures for Your Children, when I was a new mom, and it was so powerful. So, when you look back to that one, what are some of the stories or takeaways that really stand out from that resource?   Jodie Berndt: (4:38 - 9:31) Oh, gosh. Well, thank you for asking about that one. That was a book that was sort of born, as I said, out of my own need for the Lord, because nothing reveals your flaws and inadequacies and need for help beyond yourself as much as having children does. At least for me, that was the case. I'd grown up in a Christian home. Prayer was a natural part of life for me but not sort of the specific intentional prayers and not praying the scriptures.   And for anybody who doesn't know what that means, it just means taking the words that we read in the Bible, the things that God actually says to us there and using them to shape how we think about things, how we long for things, kind of creating our desires as based on what we read and then animating our prayers so that, as Jesus says in John 15, he looks at his disciples, he's getting ready to go to the cross, and you think of all the things he could have talked about. He chose to drill down on staying connected to him primarily through our prayers. He says, "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you." And then he explains why. He says, "This is to my Father's glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."   And I think I read that chapter in those specific verses, probably a hundred times over my life without fully comprehending what he was talking about there. And I think what he's talking about is that as we abide in him, as we remain in him, as we stay connected day in and day out, whether we're doing the laundry or running a carpool or anything else, we can allow the things we read in the Bible to shape our thoughts, shape our longings, and then give voice to our prayers. And when we do that, that really is the secret to living a difference-making, transformational, impactful life, to bearing fruit.   I loved being able to kind of look back over a 20-year history. And the stories in that book, in all my books, are real-life people who have real-life struggles and real-life prayers. And some of them have very happy endings. Some of them are still being played out. All of them represent times when we're having to trust God. And as I looked back over 20 years of praying parents and watched these families, where when I first was interviewing the mom or the dad, their kids might be five or seven or ten years old. And now, you know, these kids are in their 30s, some of them. And I'm like, wow, God, you know, it's like watching hair grow sometimes when we're praying and we don't see the needle moving. But with the perspective of history and time, you can see how God works. And so that was a huge blessing to me that I didn't expect when I went back and re-read the book and updated the book to be able to see what God has done.   And one particular chapter that I loved in that book was the chapter on praying for your child to promote God's kingdom. And there's a story in there about two little second grade boys, Brandon and Eddie. And I was part of a moms in prayer group at the time. And we were praying a verse, Ephesians 5:16, that our kids would make the most of every opportunity, that they would be wise in the way they live. We really didn't know how God would answer that prayer. But what parent doesn't want their child to be wise in the way they live and to make the most of the opportunities? Well, sure enough, we prayed that prayer. And two weeks later, one of the moms in our group came in and told the most jaw-droppingly beautiful story of how her son, a second grader, as part of an in-class assignment, had chosen to write a persuasive essay. And you can imagine what a second-grade essay looks like. But most of the kids in the class thought, I'm going to persuade my grandmother to give me a bicycle or I'm going to persuade my mom to let me stay up late and watch a TV show, whatever it is. This child chose to write to one of his classmates, who had been known as a real troublemaker in that class and in the school, about why he should accept Jesus as the Lord of his life. And he put these 10 points, things like, you know, God loves you. Jesus loves you. You can have anything you want in heaven. Just is a second grader's viewpoint. And I'm telling you what, I did that interview and wrote that story 20 some years ago. And still today, as I look back on that child and again, getting to watch him grow up, he's now a father with children of his own. And seeing how God has worked in that child's life in answer to that Ephesians 5 prayer that our child will be wise, making the most of every opportunity. I'm just dumbfounded. First, by how God answered that in a second grader's life and how he's continued to have the answer to that prayer unfold over this young man's life as he's grown. It's just we never can know when we pray what God will do.   Laura Dugger: (9:33 - 9:53) Absolutely. Because the fruit looks so different than the seed. And that's incredible to have that gift of perspective. But now with your newest title, Praying the Scriptures for Your Marriage, first of all, how do you even respond to someone if they ask you, why does prayer matter in marriage?   Jodie Berndt: (9:54 - 12:29) Yeah, well, that's actually a question that I get more than you would think. And especially from people who aren't super comfortable praying. Because a lot of us, even if we've grown up in church-going Christian homes, the idea of praying with our spouse just might not come naturally. And even for Robbie and me. But I'll tell you one of the reasons we want to do it is because prayer really does matter. As I jumped into writing this book, I started doing some research and secular research points to all of these benefits that it reinforces the idea of prayer does that you're on the same team. Psychologists have found that prayer increases a sense of satisfaction in your relationship. It heightens your own sense of emotional well-being. If you're mad, it gives you a chance to calm down. It can lower your blood pressure. And there have even been studies done that shows that when couples pray together, it even leads to better sex. And so, you get all of these things that are completely separate from maybe the spiritual side of why God would want us to pray. This is just the secular research.   But when you take it a step further and look at why God wants us to pray, oh, my goodness. You know, it opens the door to intimacy, both with ourselves and with the Lord, because honestly, it's being vulnerable, isn't it? When we pray, you know, that is asking God for help. That's acknowledging our dependence on him, admitting we can't always be kind or selfless or forgiving on our own. And, you know, I don't know any husbands or wives who can do those things because we're all inherently flawed. We're broken. We're selfish people. And we can kind of start to shrivel up under what pressure to just get it all right, you know, to be a good wife, to be a good husband. And we can feel like we're failing. And yet, when we realize that through prayer, we've got this vehicle of inviting God into the mix, into our relationship, of letting the Holy Spirit step in and do the things that only he can do to work in us, giving us, as Philippians 2:13 says, the desire and the power to do what pleases God. I mean, that just changes the equation. It removes the burden from our shoulders of trying to build a strong marriage or be a good husband or wife. And just says, God, you know what? I can't do this on my own. I need you. Our marriage needs you. And that just opens up the runway, I think, for us in marriages and really gives us a new intimacy and a new confidence in our relationships.   Laura Dugger: (12:30 - 12:45) Well, and Jodie, you did so much research on marriages in preparation for this book. So, what are some of the ancient truths from Scripture that stand out to you specifically as it relates to marriage?   Jodie Berndt: (12:45 - 16:24) I'll tell you, an ancient truth that runs throughout Scripture is God's desire for us to talk to him about all of the details of our lives. There's nothing too big or nothing too small for him to care about. And I know you shared with me that you loved the Isaiah 7:11 verse in The Message translation, which is when Ahaz and the Lord are talking together. And God says, ask anything, you know, be extravagant, ask for the moon. And that's God's invitation to us to ask big. But there are also verses in Scripture where it says, you know, he delights in the details of our lives. He bends down to listen. So, we really can talk to him about the smallest things.   And I'll tell you, in terms of what you term ancient truths, I would say, and your listeners, I'm sure, know this, that the Bible is kind of one big story of God's love for us. And the covenant of marriage really is designed to reflect that. You know, we say this in our marriage vows, but I've yet to meet a bride or groom who really knows what they're talking about when they say those vows. I know for Robbie and me, we were just starry eyed and in love and speaking these vows without even really thinking what it would mean for better, for worse, you know, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish all of those things. But I'll tell you what, marriage gives us a chance to live out the gospel every day in a million little ways.   I love what Tim Keller says about the gospel. He says the gospel is this. It's that we are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe. And yet at the very same time, we are more loved and accepted in Jesus than we ever dared hope. And, you know, isn't that a picture of marriage? Because nothing reveals our flaws and our sins as much as taking two inherently selfish people and bringing them into close proximity with each other day in and day out. We are going to love against each other. We're going to be aware of our brokenness. Nobody knows my weak points as much as my husband. Nobody knows his as much as I do. So, we're so aware that we're flawed. And yet within the covenant of our marriage, we can honestly say, OK, we are more loved and accepted than we ever dared hope as we do what Christ did and give ourselves up for one another.   Ephesians 5, it's that classic New Testament passage about how human relationships are supposed to work. And Paul starts out, he says, Ephesians 5:2, "Walk in love as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." And you may blow by a verse like that because it sounds very theological and holy. And you think, OK, what does that really mean in my human relationships? And more specifically, what does that mean for our marriage? OK, walking in love, giving yourself up. It could be something as simple as getting out of bed to let the dog out so that your husband or your wife can sleep in. It may be going to the in-laws for dinner when everything in us wants to stay home because we know that's what our spouse longs to do. Anytime we choose to put our partner's needs and desires ahead of our own, that's partaking of the gospel. That is giving ourselves up for them as Jesus gave himself up for us. Even as we do that in the little decisions of our lives every day, we get to live out that gospel. And what a beautiful opportunity. So, if I had to take one ancient truth from all of scripture, it would be that the Bible is one big love story of God's love for us. And in our marriages every day, we can live that out in a million little decisions.   Laura Dugger: (16:26 - 16:50) Well, in your book, you open up about your journey of learning to listen to your husband instead of interrupting him. Oh, yeah. And just a crazy side note. I'm just going to quote you here where you write, the average person pays attention for about eight seconds and can only go 17 seconds before interrupting someone. 17 seconds.   Jodie Berndt: (16:50 - 19:53) Yes. I mean, I read that in my research. I think that was out of Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, I think was the source there. But when I read that, I thought, oh, my goodness. A, that makes me just mortified. But B, it makes me feel better about myself because I am an interrupter. I always think that I have the answer, the solution or something that's going to be really either interesting to say or solving to say whatever it is. And I had to learn to give my husband space to speak because like a lot of men, I think he's not super verbose. He's not going to be letting his words tumble out. And so, I have to give space and time in our conversations for him to be able to get his words together instead of just leaping to a conclusion and saying, I know exactly what you mean or stepping in and trying to finish his sentence because he may have something that he's concerned about or worried about.   You know, I tell a story in the book, too, where when we taught a marriage class, we had to rate each other on all kinds of things, 20 different topics on a scale of like zero to four. I think it was. And he gave me a zero in meeting his emotional needs. And I thought zero, but that's not fair. I didn't even know you had emotional needs because you are such a steady, reliable, non-mercurial person. And I realized just because he's steady and not all over the map, doesn't mean he doesn't have fears and worries and concerns and emotional needs just like I do. I had to learn to kind of let him express those. And for his part, he had to learn to let me speak without immediately jumping in and wanting to fix something. I think men, a lot of our husbands are natural fixers. They love us. They want to solve our problems. They want to help us analyze what's wrong. And there have been times where I have had to just look at Robbie, sometimes even take a space in my hands and say, OK, I just want to tell you something. And I don't need you right off the bat to fix it. I just need to be heard. I need to know that you understand. So, will you just listen without trying to solve or analyze or fix and let me express myself, communicate? And that's been a really good listening tool. So so, between me trying to interrupt and him trying to solve and fix, we have really had to learn some some tools and some strategies that we talk about in the book for becoming better listeners.   And I think it only makes sense, right? We are not ever taught to listen or taught to speak. I've got grandchildren here and it's really fun to watch them at age one and two and three learn to mimic what we say when we say, can you say yes, please? Can you say, you know, I love you. And it's delightful to watch our children learn to form words. But nobody ever says to us, OK, let me teach you to listen. Let me teach you to wait. Let me teach you to reflect. Let me teach you to ask questions to help you understand more. All of those things may not come naturally to us. And so, there are things we have to be intentional in marriage and in every relationship about learning.   Laura Dugger: (19:54 - 20:07) Well, are there any of those game changing tools that you would like to elaborate on if someone really hasn't been trained to learn how to listen? Well, what has helped you and Robbie really listen and love?   Jodie Berndt: (20:07 - 22:13) Yeah, well, me not. Number one, expecting him to be a mind reader. I think sometimes we girls, because we intuit things, we think, oh, surely he'll pick this up. And I've had to learn that I need to really be clear in my communication. And just like I said earlier, you know, if I just want him to listen without fixing, I need to say that. And we've also had to learn things like I think sometimes listeners can try to reassure other people. We can minimize the problem saying, oh, it's going to be all right. You know, don't worry. That happened to me once, too. And while we might think we're doing someone a favor by that, what we're really doing is undermining their need to express themselves, to be heard, to say they really are afraid or concerned.   And so, I think a good listener doesn't just jump in immediately with the reassurance or another bad habit is deflecting, you know, saying, oh, yeah, that reminds me of the time I. And we think, oh, good, we're going to take their mind off the problem by telling them another story. And no, they don't maybe need to have their mind taken off it right then. What they might need right then is to know that they're being heard. Or even another bad habit that we had to learn to avoid is intellectualizing something or explaining something. You know, well, the reason it didn't go well for you at work today, honey, is that you probably started by just saying exactly what you felt without giving everybody else in the room a chance to speak or whatever it is. You know, we're going in trying to armchair quarterback our spouse's life by explaining and intellectualizing when, again, they just need to know we're listening, we're hearing, we're willing to be sympathetic and empathize, and we're willing to pray. And we don't have to have the answers.   We can say, gosh, that must be hard. You know, why don't we just stop right now and just say, God, we don't know what to do here. Just like Jehoshaphat had said, you know, he was facing vast armies. He said, God, I don't know what to do. We don't know what to do. But our eyes are on you. And we can say that in our marriage saying, I don't know how to help my spouse. We don't know what to do about this. But God, we're inviting you into this mix. And that's what a good listener can sound like. Sometimes you don't have to have all the answers.   Laura Dugger: (22:14 - 22:36) And I would even add, I guess it's part of the hope of this podcast, even, to ask really great questions. And our tagline is Practical Chats for Intentional Living. And the hope is that anyone listening would be inspired to also ask great questions and have their own practical chats for intentional living.   Jodie Berndt: (22:36 - 25:28) Yes, I love that you bring that up. Because in the book, there are questions at the end of every chapter. I didn't start out to write Praying the Scriptures for Your Marriage. But after these other four books came out, I kept hearing from people on Instagram or via my website saying, when are you going to write something about marriage? You know, I'm in this most important human relationship. And we are grating against each other. You know, we need God's help when it comes to knowing how to handle conflict, how to handle our finances, time with our in-laws, intimacy issues, or learning, as you and I have been talking here, how to talk well, how to listen well, how to communicate, how to make friends. You'd think that would come naturally, but sometimes it doesn't. And couples struggle to find people that they want to do life with.   So, all of these things, leaving our legacy, parenting, are things marriages want God to be involved in. And so, these are what the different chapters, the topics. And at the end of each one, there are questions that we can ask our spouse. You know, hit the pause button and say, you know, say it's the chapter on having fun together. We might get to the end of that chapter and say, what's something you'd like to do that might surprise me? Because we don't always know what our spouse's idea of relaxation or fun or laughter would look like. And so, the questions in there are designed to elicit conversation. And you know what? If your spouse isn't interested in talking to you about any of those things, you can talk to the Lord about them. You can open your journal, and you can just write things out. You can listen to God. So, the discussion starters are in there for husbands and wives to use together or for you to use in your own quiet times with the Lord.   And I'll tell you, this is the only book in the series that Robbie has really written with me. He read every word of every chapter before I would send it off to the editor. And time and again, he would come back to me, and he would say, Jodie, I don't think a husband's going to really know what you mean by that. Or I don't think you have dug deep enough on this one or been as helpful as you might be on that one. And that made it hard. I mean, talk about a chance to have conflict with your spouse, invite them to edit your book. But it was so valuable because it has created a resource where I think a wife might buy the book. But I really do think a husband now might be willing to pick up the book. And even if the husband's not digging deep into the stories of every chapter, any husband or any wife can pick it up. Pray the 10 or 12 verses at the end of each chapter or just pray one verse that seems to resonate. And then avail themselves of those discussion questions and conversation starters so that it can help communication both between husband and wife and between you and God. So, thank you for bringing up that part about questions, because that really is something we need to do more about in life. We can't ever know someone without asking those things.   Laura Dugger: (25:29 - 26:18) I agree. And so, we've covered now how listening is that one important ingredient in communication. But in addition, you write, it is still important to stay current with our spouse by also talking and sharing what's going on within and around us. And you write on page 49, The things we don't say can become wedges in our relationships. Communication involves two parts, talking and listening, and we need to be good at both. And Jodie, I think that you model a helpful way to think about this through something that you taught your children. So, will you share that illustration of serving the ball and hitting it back and how that applies to conversation?   Jodie Berndt: (26:18 - 29:16) That's so funny that you pulled that out. And its funny right now because I just read that in a very important intellectual article that showed up in my inbox from one of these institutes. I follow on family studies and different things. I thought that Robbie and I had invented this idea of serving the ball. Our son was an athlete and not much of a talker. And because he was an athlete all year round, he would go to different tournaments, different places. And I remember him being a young teen and not being super eager to engage in conversation. But because we had four kids and you can relate to this, we were not always taking our kids to all the different tournaments and activities. A lot of times they'd be riding in a car with another adult, another team dad or mom. And on one occasion, I remember popping him in the car with a friend of ours who was going to go meet a lacrosse team, you know, another state away. And we knew he'd be in the car for three or four hours. And we said, OK, you know, when Mr. So-and-so asks you a question, you can't just answer with one word, you know, like I'm good or yes, sir. We want you to hit the ball back. We want you to think of something that you can ask him. Think of a conversation. That's our son's name. We said, like you're in a game where the ball has to go back and forth, like say something to keep it in play. And for him, that was a real eye opener for how to learn to talk when he mostly knew how to hit balls back and forth.   And researchers noticed that couples who paid that attention, you know, if a spouse, if a husband said, hey, look at that bird. Isn't that a pretty bird? If the wife didn't even notice the bird, that planted a seed of contempt or indifference, coldness, the cold shoulder that could grow, whereas if the partner said, wow, gosh, that is a pretty bird, and, you know, that reminds me of the one we saw last week on our walk, and, I mean, that's a silly illustration, maybe noticing the bird, maybe it's a sunset, maybe it's saying, wow, this, you know, hamburger is really good, whatever it is, whatever the little tidbits of conversation, when we pick up, when we hit the ball back, when we pay attention and say, you know, yeah, that creates an interest in our spouse and a kindness.   Laura Dugger: (29:17 - 35:00) And now a brief message from our sponsor.   Did you know you can go to college tuition-free just by being a team member at Chick-fil-A East Peoria?

And if you aren't located near Chick-fil-A East Peoria, make sure you check with your local Chick-fil-A restaurant to see if they also participate.   Jodie Berndt: And I'll tell you, when I started doing the kindness research, I said to Robbie, do you think some people are just more naturally kind than others? And he said, yeah, I do. I think some people are just naturally more kind. And I think he's right, but I don't think you put a period there, because kindness is a fruit of the Spirit, right? Galatians 5:22 and 23, it does talk about how love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness is what the Holy Spirit does in our lives. And researchers have found that kindness actually works with them like a muscle. It gets stronger in our lives the more we commit to using it. And I love what folks at the National Marriage Project discovered. They discovered that when we are kind to our spouse with these simple things, you know, bringing them a cup of coffee in the morning, it doesn't even have to be super important, that creates an atmosphere in which generosity toward one another can flourish. And what it does is create an upward spiral. You know, we all talk about downward spirals and how we can just descend into contempt or coldness. We can also ascend. We can create that upward spiral through simple, small words and gestures that communicate kindness in marriage. And it can change the whole climate and allow intimacy and love to flourish.   And I will tell you what, Robbie and I are in the empty nest years, and we have friends who are in our same season, and a couple of couples in particular. For the last maybe four or five years have confided to us that they're not as kind to one another as they would like to be. Their marriage is strong. They're not getting a divorce, but their kids are raised, and they each have kind of their own lanes they're in, and they're in the empty nest, and they're recognizing that they just don't treat each other with the generosity and love in their words and in their actions that maybe they did when they were younger. And you would say, oh, what a shame. Except that it's not a shame because these couples have committed to praying about it and to inviting other couples who will keep that confidential into their lives to say, hey, will you pray this for us? And I will tell you what, we are seeing the needle move in our friends' lives. It is a beautiful thing to watch someone in their 60s who thinks, you know what, I'm just not that kind, actually begin to soften and change and be kind as the Holy Spirit goes to work. So, if you're listening and you're thinking, you know what, I'm just not that nice of a person. I'm just not that kind. Or my spouse, they've been kind of cool or cold all these years. Don't give up. Keep praying. Keep trying. Keep relying on the Holy Spirit. Invite other couples into the mix who can come alongside you and pray for you and even maybe hold you a little accountable saying, okay, you know, that word was maybe harsher than it needed to be. And watch what God can do. Kindness really matters.   Laura Dugger: (45:06 - 45:45) Yes, it does. And my husband, Mark, and I love to ask questions of couples who are in the next season of life. So, we have some friends at church who are empty nesters, and we've asked them similar questions around kindness. And it was really helpful that they said what really enhanced their marital satisfaction and enjoyment of one another in those years was their tone. And I thought that was a really practical application, just to be mindful of our tone. At any season, I think of us raising little ones as well to watch our tone with our kids and our spouse.   Jodie Berndt: (45:46 - 46:16) Yeah, absolutely. And even when we speak in a tone that might, you know, I believe me, can blurt something out and it comes out sounding snippier than I meant. And I have to recognize that and say, I know that came out like I was challenging you or that I was correcting you or whatever. I didn't mean it that way. That was a genuine question of, you know, do you think we should do this or that? And I'm sorry it sounded snippy. So, we have to be aware. And when those things slip out to quickly correct that and say, gosh, sorry, let me try that again.   Laura Dugger: (46:17 - 46:38) Yeah. And I guess it's reminded me of one other quote that was really helpful. On page 63, you shared that one husband was giving a really practical definition for respect. And he said, respect looks like paying attention when I am talking, even if you have better things to do.   Jodie Berndt: (46:39 - 48:11) Yeah, I remember that couple. And I'll tell you, this was a great illustration. I'm glad you brought that one up because this is a wife who loved her husband deeply, respected what he did, said good things about him publicly and in front of people. And she would think, well, so of course he knows I respect him. Like I just praised him in front of our small group, or I just told him what a great job I thought he did on that presentation or whatever he told me about from work. And she thought, so of course he knows I respect him, but he's watching their day in, day out encounters and realizing that like so many women, you know, we do five things, 10 things at once. And he's thinking, I don't even think you're paying attention to me because I'm over here talking and you know, you're cooking the dinner or checking something on your phone or whatever. And you're listening with kind of half an ear. And she had to learn that to him, respect meant stop what you're doing and pay attention to me. And of course we can't do that all the time. Like especially if we've got little kids and they're grabbing our legs and stuff, we might have to say, hold on. I really want to pay attention to what you're saying. Can you give me five minutes to, you know, get the child settled with a coloring book or put the baby to bed or get some food in this toddler, whatever it is, because this is important to me. And I want to pay attention. So sometimes when an important need for respect is, is happening, we have to just set the stage to reassure our partner that yeah, I love you. I want to listen. I want to pay attention. I want to respect you. Let me set it up so I can do that really well. So yeah, good one.   Laura Dugger: (48:12 - 48:17) Well, do you have any other favorite stories or lessons that stand out from your book?   Jodie Berndt: (48:18 - 51:06) Well, I think a big takeaway for me is the importance of community kind of at every stage. You know, the Bible says walk with the wise and become wise for a companion of fools suffers harm. You know, that's a proverb. And I think it's really true that we need to be intentional about who we surround ourselves with. Certainly, as we're starting out young in our marriages, there's going to be adjustment phases. Even the most well-suited couples come from two different families. And as we're trying to blend our expectations, our needs, our desires, our histories, they're going to be bumps along the way. And you want to be surrounded with couples who will be able to almost laugh with you and say, yeah, you know, we had that too. And let me just tell you, here's how we navigated that. Instead of somebody who will say, oh my gosh, my husband drives me just as crazy. Like literally, I had a running group one time where I realized that there was a lot of husband bashing going on in the early morning hours as we would get out on the street, you know, before the kids went to school. And I thought this isn't really healthy. We need to change the channel on this conversation. And so, you know, and sometimes that was doable by simply changing the topic of conversation or saying something positive or just saying, “Hey, let's all list three things we're grateful about, about our spouse.”   But I think how we surround ourselves with couples really makes a difference also in the empty nest years. And I think our friendships change. Robbie and I have had friends change significantly many times over the years. Sure. There are those people that we can look back on college roommates that we're still in touch with, and that's wonderful. But we have had cross country moves four times. We have had different seasons with our kids where all of our friends might be the ones we're on the bleachers with because we are seeing them two and three times a week and traveling on the weekends to games and things like that. And now we're in the empty nest years and our friends are starting to go visit grandkids. They are in retirement, some of them and traveling for fun. Others have taken up new hobbies, new volunteer commitments. So that landscape has shifted and we've had to say, all right, let's look for life giving people, be intentional about who we want to invite over to our house for dinner, who we'd like to co-chair a project with, something where we are constantly thinking about how we can surround ourselves with people who share our faith, who will sharpen us. Again, that proverb about iron sharpening iron, our friends really matter. We want to be around people who keep us sharp and who will be intentional about pouring into our marriages. So, you know, they say divorce is catching, and it really is. If you're in a community where people are just quick to give up or quick to bash their spouse, change that, change that in your life. Look for folks who are leaning in and helping one another love well.   Laura Dugger: (51:07 - 51:27) And I think you're very encouraging to those couples that are entering or in the midst of the empty nest phase of life. And you drew out a proverb that I'd never heard in The Message version in Proverbs 4:18, where it says the longer they live, the brighter they shine.   Jodie Berndt: (51:28 - 51:58) Yeah. Isn't that a great one? I mean, you could read Proverbs 4:18 and in the NIV and the ESV and the King James, all that. And it's always good. But boy, when I hit it in The Message, and I don't know, I might've seen it around my 50th birthday or something, but I thought the longer they live, the brighter they shine. Amen. God, I want to put that on my refrigerator. Just remind me that, you know, you don't necessarily have to have all the Botox to keep shining bright. You can just have the Holy Spirit living in you and through you animating your life and making you radiant. So yeah, I love that one. I'm glad you called that out.   Laura Dugger: (51:59 - 52:06) Yeah. Are there any other ways that you see that play out as people do start to navigate these empty nest years?   Jodie Berndt: (52:07 - 53:52) I think you can become kind of insular as you get older. If we weren't being intentional about trying to have new experiences, make some new friends, your world can start shrinking because maybe your responsibilities at work aren't as demanding. So, you have more time away from work or your kids are gone. So, you're not seeing all the friends that you've done life with all that time. So, emptiness can be a time of loneliness for couples. And it can be a time when you are thinking, gosh, I'm not as active or having as much fun. But we have a friend named Jim Burns. He's written a lot of books on marriage and family issues. And he writes, he says, who would have thought that the most intimate times in a marriage aren't necessarily in the first few years, but in the empty nest. And he and his wife have navigated this transition so successfully. And I think it's in large part because they have been intentional about having fun together, about trying new things. And another couple, I know Susan and Johnny Yates, they're in their seventies. And they were like, Hey, we've never gone snowmobiling. You want to try it? Yeah, let's try it. And I just think, you know, the more we're willing to get out there and try new experiences, a new place to visit, it might even be as simple as a restaurant we've never been to, but just kind of ensuring that your world stays bigger, your friend groups stay bigger, and that you can be leaning into the fact that, you know, I think about Job where it says, God blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the former. And there is a real, a real beauty to knowing that you have a lot of runway left when you hit the empty nest years and asking God, how do you want to use me in my family, in my church, in my community, and being open to the things he puts in front of you?   Laura Dugger: (53:53 - 54:02) I love that. And Jodie, you are just such an encourager. So where can we go online to learn more from you after this conversation?   Jodie Berndt: (54:03 - 55:19) Thank you for asking that. My website is jodieberndt.com. And I would really encourage people to check that out and kind of scroll around. There's an area called resources and printables where there's a lot of free stuff like 31-day prayer calendars. You can download and print to help you pray for your marriage, a verse every day, or pray for your children or your adult children, your teens, your life, all of those calendars are on there, as well as little prayer cards, things you can tuck into your kid's lunchbox or leave on their bedside table. If you have a teenager who maybe would roll their eyes, you know, if you want to walk in there and say goodnight prayers, you might say, well, you know what? I'm just going to leave this little thing on their pillow, so they know that mom or dad is praying. And again, even if they're acting like they don't want it, I've never yet met a teen, my own included, who used to sometimes roll their eyes who will now tell me, you know what mom? I really was listening. I really did appreciate that. So, a little hang in there strategy, but yes, at jodieberndt.com all those resources. And then I'm pretty active on Instagram and that's just @jodie_berndt. So, if people want to follow there, I love to share different prayer prompts or encouragements. People can DM me with questions and it's just a fun way to, to make friends in a digital way that you might not ever be able to see someone in real life, but we can all learn from each other.   Laura Dugger: (55:19 - 55:40) Well, we will add links to all of those places in the show notes for today's episode. And you may already be familiar that we're called The Savvy Sauce because yes, I love it. I love it. And savvy is synonymous with practical knowledge. And so, as my final question for you today, Jodie, what is your savvy sauce?   Jodie Berndt: (55:41 - 57:21) That is such a great question. I love that you asked all your guests that I think for me, this might sound boring or even holier than thou, but I don't mean it that way. For me, a scripture is my savvy sauce. Like I turn to the Bible for my answers. I turn to it to shape my prayers. Like I can be so given to worry about something. I can just naturally go to a place of panic or uncertainty. And yet in the pages of scripture, I find promises that I can hold on to in a way that I can exchange my panic for peace and just trust God's provision. And the circumstances might not have changed, but what has changed as I lean into the Lord and read of his faithfulness in the past, they can help me trust for the future and it doesn't have to be this long. Like the other thing is there was a time when I thought, oh gosh, if I don't spend a half an hour, an hour, you know, reading my Bible with a candle smelling up the room and a nice cup of coffee and my journal open, it's not going to count. And I really, especially when I had younger children, it was so beautiful. An older woman, older mother set me straight. She said, Jodie, you know, you can talk to God in the carpool line. You can read three verses of scripture and meditate on those during the day. That may be more transformational than reading an entire book of the Bible and just having permission to take that in small bites, especially if you've got little ones. I think that is a great savvy sauce. Just find yourself a verse or two, hold onto it, write it out on an index card and meditate on it during the day and see what it does.   Laura Dugger: (57:22 - 57:43) That is so good. And going back to what we had talked about earlier, I experienced so much kindness in you and have really enjoyed this conversation and appreciate all that you've brought to encourage marriages. And I'm wondering if you would just close us out now with a prayer over all the marriages that are represented right now.   Jodie Berndt: (57:44 - 59:43) Oh, I would be so honored to do that. And right back at you. I mean, you're just, your voice is so very kind and welcoming. I just know your listeners love tuning in because it's like,  just having a conversation with a dear friend. So, thank you for that. But I would love, love, love to pray.   Heavenly Father, I just thank you so much for this conversation. I thank you so much for every marriage, every household represented as folks who are listening. And I just want to pray that prayer that I think I start the book with because it just jumps out at me day in and day out from 1 Thessalonians 3:12, "May our love overflow and increase for each other and for everyone else." That's something that Paul prayed for the Thessalonians. And I just want to pray it over all of our marriages, over all of our lives, over our parenting, that our love would increase, that it would overflow for one another, for our families, for our communities. And that that would be the sign that people can look at and say, you know, that as that old song says, they'll know we are Christians by our love. And it is so true in the way that we love one another, in the way that we are kind to one another. That just speaks volumes, Lord, about your love for us. I pray that we really would, as Paul writes in Ephesians, make the most of every opportunity. I pray we would live lives marked with wisdom, that we would, as he goes on in that same chapter, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Let our marriages, let our families, let our friendships be marked by that mutual submission, by that desire to not look just to our own interests, but to the interests of others, just being humble, God. Let us live humble lives, glorifying you, looking out for one another, and growing in the knowledge and grace of your son, Jesus Christ. It's in his name we pray. Amen.   Laura Dugger: (59:44 - 59:47) Amen, Jodie. Thank you so much for being my guest.   Jodie Berndt: (59:47 - 59:55) Laura, thank you so much, and Lord bless you in the work that you are doing to just equip and encourage so many. It's just wonderful.   Laura Dugger: (59:55 - 1:03:39) Thank you. One more thing before you go, have you heard the term gospel before? It simply means good news. And I want to share the best news with you, but it starts with the bad news.   Every single one of us were born sinners, but Christ desires to rescue us from our sin, which is something we cannot do for ourselves. This means there's absolutely no chance we can make it to heaven on our own. So, for you and for me, it means we deserve death, and we can never pay back the sacrifice we owe to be saved.   We need a savior, but God loved us so much. He made a way for his only son to willingly die in our place as the perfect substitute. This gives us hope of life forever in right relationship with him.   That is good news. Jesus lived the perfect life. We could never live and died in our place for our sin.   This was God's plan to make a way to reconcile with us so that God can look at us and see Jesus. We can be covered and justified through the work Jesus finished. If we choose to receive what he has done for us, Romans 10:9 says, “that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”   So, you pray with me now. Heavenly father, thank you for sending Jesus to take our place. I pray someone today right now is touched and chooses to turn their life over to you.   Will you clearly guide them and help them take their next step in faith to declare you as Lord of their life? We trust you to work and change lives now for eternity. In Jesus name we pray.   Amen. If you prayed that prayer, you are declaring him for me. So, me for him, you get the opportunity to live your life for him.   And at this podcast, we're called The Savvy Sauce for a reason. We want to give you practical tools to implement the knowledge you have learned. So, you're ready to get started.   First, tell someone, say it out loud, get a Bible. The first day I made this decision, my parents took me to Barnes and Noble and let me choose my own Bible. I selected the Quest NIV Bible and I love it.   You can start by reading the book of John. Also get connected locally, which just means tell someone who's a part of a church in your community that you made a decision to follow Christ. I'm assuming they will be thrilled to talk with you about further steps such as going to church and getting connected to other believers to encourage you.   We want to celebrate with you too. So, feel free to leave a comment for us here. If you did make a decision to follow Christ, we also have show notes included where you can read scripture that describes this process.   And finally, be encouraged. Luke 15:10 says, “in the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” The heavens are praising with you for your decision today.   And if you've already received this good news, I pray you have someone to share it with. You are loved and I look forward to meeting you here next time.

After Charlie's terrifying encounter with something in the woods, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, and Will set out on what starts as a school history project filming a mockumentary about town founder Samuel Hawkins, but quickly turns into a full-blown H.I.C. investigation. Join hosts Darrell and Addi as we break down "The Mine," diving into the boys' trip into the abandoned silver mine tied to the 1892 explosion caused by the legendary Bloodaxe Bill, and the unsettling discovery that someone (or something) broke OUT of the boarded-up mine rather than in. We talk through Mike's buried fear of ghosts stemming from a childhood Poltergeist screening, the group's skepticism toward Charlie's ghost story, and that terrifying cliffhanger when Mike falls into the mine and encounters a growling, screeching creature in the dark. We also cover the girls' side plot as Nikki and Max launch a Valentine's Day flower-selling hustle to cover Nikki's busted amp. From dodging Lunch Lady Phyllis and her cockroach accusations, to the chaos that erupts when demomoths infest the school kitchen, this subplot takes a dark turn fast. We share our theories on what these creatures actually are, how they connect to the flowers, and what Mike's history of ghost-related trauma might mean for the season's bigger mystery. Whether you're Team "ghosts are real" or Team "it's definitely Upside Down business," this episode has plenty to talk about!   Connect with The Stranger Things Podcast: Facebook community Twitter Instagram Contribute Listener Feedback

Wealth Transfer and Stewardship (1) (audio) David Eells – 9/27/26 Because of the transfer of wealth that's coming soon, I want to share what the Lord says about our stewardship. The Bible speaks of building the house of the Lord, which is the people in whom the Lord lives, not a building. This includes meeting their physical and spiritual needs. As stewards of the Lord's money and things, we are all responsible for doing this. {Luke 14:33} So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for tithing mint and anise and cummin, and left undone the weightier matters of the law. He said tithing was of the law. Notice we are stewards of 100% of what belongs to the Lord, not owners who tithe 10% and own 90% as under the law. In the New Testament, this would make us thieves. 100% belongs to the Lord, and He gets to tell us individually what He wants done with it. And He has done a very good job in the Scriptures {1 John 3:17} But whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?Love is who the Bride is. The bride is about to be chosen, and it will be people who love God's people, who are generous and loving, and want to meet the needs of God's people. Some demonstrate this love, and some don't. I'm not talking about giving to me; the Lord supplies my needs, and I am content, which enables me to give to the needs of others. I have never taken a collection for myself. I do not receive money from UBM and so do not gain from fee-will offerings sent in, except that I get to see the Gospel go forth. The early disciples never took collections for themselves nor preached gimme sermons because they had faith with contentment. {2 Chronicles 24:4} And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to restore the house of Jehovah. We really need to restore the original house of the Lord. You can't do that unless you return to the original word of the Lord. {5} And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year; and see that ye hasten the matter.Howbeit the Levites hastened it not. (The priests were not doing their job to rebuild the Kingdom. There's a lot of stuff out there that's not the kingdom of God. It's just men's ego, men's kingdoms. They build it the way they want because they use their own words, not the words of the Bible. And so that needs to be departed from, and especially those that have a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof. From such, turn away, we're told.) {6} And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tax of Moses the servant of Jehovah, and of the assembly of Israel, for the tent of the testimony (or house of God)? And it is to benefit the house of God, not a building, not a particular ministry that doesn't really see to the needs of God's people, but to their own needs. {2 Cor.8:1} Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia; {2} how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. In other words, they were very gracious and giving people, even though they lived in poverty. Forced poverty is a curse, but a free-will offering of one's life to deny oneself is not a curse. So that's a blessing. I mean, Jesus lived in what most people would call poverty, and so did His disciples, and they did it as a sacrifice unto God. {3} For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord, So, they had to have the power of God.) {4} beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints: {5} and this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God. (If we don't give ourselves to the Lord, we won't be able to do what the Lord wants. It's the Lord in us that does it, and as was said, “to us through the will of God.”) {6} Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also. {7} But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. (Amen. The command still goes out.) {8} I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. In other words, prove your love. Love has actions. Love is sacrificial. Love is patient, and on and on.) {9} For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich. {10} And herein I give my judgment: for this is expedient for you, (In other words, follow in his steps. Sacrifice your life. Meet the needs of the brethren) who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. (Some people say it's okay as long as you're willing. No, no. Faith, if it has not works, is dead, right?) {11} But now complete the doing also; that as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the completion also out of your ability. {12} For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according as a man hath, not according as he hath not. (In other words, you can't give more than you got. And, it's out of your ability, right? But it's even beyond your power, as he said.) {13} For I say not this that others may be eased and ye distressed; {14} but by equality: your abundance being a supply at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become a supply for your want; that there may be equality: {15} as it is written, He that gathered much had nothing over; and he that gathered little had no lack. (God wants equality in the body, meaning everyone has their needs met.) The poor need to give as much as the rich need to give because it is multiplied back, as Jesus said. Jesus said the widow who gave 2 mites gave more than all the rich Pharisees because she gave out of her need. {Mar.12:41} And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury (Which was in the temple of God's people, not a building and ministry that does not meet the spiritual and physical needs of God's people): and many that were rich cast in much. (And that's not bad, it's good.) {42} And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing. {43} And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury: {44} for they all did cast in of their superfluity; (meaning their overabundance) but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living. I can tell you that she went away getting her needs met. I can guarantee you that, because that's the word of God. She cast in all that she had, even all of her living. Notice that it is not how much you give but how much you have left that counts. There's an awesome group of promises here that we should pay attention to. It's not like you're going to go into poverty if you give and give and give. You'll just receive and continue to receive. It's clear. This is what God says. In fact, some people stay poor all their lives because they don't give. They don't consider that they have enough to give. Well, you can't possibly do that and get away with it. So stay in poverty. You'll always be in need to other people; you'll always stay in poverty.  {2 Cor.9:6} But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. {7} Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: (This is also different for each person because every person has a different amount of income, right? In other words, you're not under law here. This is proof of your love, right? You're not under law, but it's to your benefit that you do this.) not grudgingly, or of necessity: (So you're not under the law anymore. You're especially not under the law to tithe, because now you have to renounce it all.) for God loveth a cheerful giver. (Be happy about what you're able to give to people and their needs.) {8} And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; (Oh would you look at that! Is that a powerful promise or what?) that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work: (there's another powerful promise. And I tell you, we all need that.) {9} as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever. (Notice God gives righteousness to the person who meets the needs of God's people.) {10} And he that supplieth seed to the sower (Notice it's not seed to the keeper, like the prosperity movement, where they need three, four, five airplanes and big fancy buildings.) and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, (So He gives you more to sow, so that you can reap more, so that you can be just a channel through whom God blesses people.) and increase the fruits of your righteousness: (He again promises righteousness for this.) {11} ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, (This is not the kind of liberality we get in government; this is a liberality we have in giving, in meeting needs), which worketh through us, thanksgiving to God. (Yes, everybody thanks God for their needs being met, the miracles they receive through this. It's a blessing. And they keep on bragging on what God did for them. That's awesome.) {12} For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God; {13} seeing that through the proving of you by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution unto them and unto all; (Notice it's unto them. It's unto people. It's not fancy buildings and all these things that people want to do to pump up their ego. The Lord wants us to be practical not exorbitant.) {Luke 16:1} And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods. (Well, now that's rampant out there. Its like the guy with the talent who hid it in the earth.) {2} And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward. {3} And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed. {4} I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. (Here, he's using an evil man's parable for us, but we also will be giving up our stewardship one day.) {5} And calling to him each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? {6} And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty. {7} Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore.  {8} And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light. (Meaning, of course, the righteous are not learning a lesson here. Listen to what the lesson actually is. It's not that you're to be bad and cheat the owner; no, here's the lesson. {9} And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; (Well, who's our friend? That's right, your brothers and sisters in the Lord, they're your friends. You can't really trust the world. But he says, use your money to make these kinds of friends.) that, when it shall fail, (and it will.) they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. (In other words, use your money to bring in the lost, so that one day you can visit them in their eternal tabernacle.) {10} He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much. (The Lord tested me with a major test one time, but it enabled me to be ready for a much bigger blessing. I had to give to a person who was totally unworthy, but understanding what the Scriptures had to say that if they take away from you, just give it to them. I finally just decided, ‘Well, this is what I have to do, so I did.' And then the Lord gave me a promise that was way bigger than the one I had. A tremendous thing. One day, I'll probably tell you about this.  {11} If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (Yes, these are not true riches we're dealing with down here. This is not worth much of anything) {12} And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's (It's not yours. Stewards are not owners but handle their Lord's money and things), who will give you that which is your own? (in heaven we are joint heirs of all things. We inherit it all! Praise God! And we're owners there, joint heirs with Christ.)  {13} No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. (What he's saying is you despise the other, that's the Lord. If you hold to the one, you're despising the Lord. He has children He wants you to take care of. And if you do that, He'll give you more children because He multiplies your seed for sowing.) Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (If you're serving that mammon, you're going to be stingy with the Lord and stingy with His people, and He's going to be stingy with you. Because with whatever measure you mete it out, it'll be measured back to you.) {14} And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him. (And they do it today, too.) {15} And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. (And it's in Christianity too saints. I think I recounted before how there were two churches built in my area many years ago. One was built for two and a half million dollars, and the other was built for something like, I believe, twelve million dollars. The two-million-dollar one was actually more functional, very comfortable. Everything that was needed. It was a metal building on the outside. It didn't have all the glory and stuff like the other one, but it met the needs. Think what you could do with that much left over money to help God's people. That's why I say it's a sin to be extravagant just for ego.)  {Ecc.5:10} He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase: this also is vanity. 11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; (Notice that. ‘When their goods increased,' guess what? Some people can't sit on it, while others do without. There's also an increase of the people who have the need.) and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, save the beholding of them with his eyes? (Oh, look what I got. Come, let me show you my treasures, my church building.) {12} The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much; but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. {13} There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt: {14} and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand. {15} As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand. (So there's no fruit born in greed and extravegence.) {Hag.1:8}, (2-11) Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, It is not the time for us to come, the time for Jehovah's house to be built. {3} Then came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying, {4} Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth waste? {5} Now therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways. {6} Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. (That's the curse on a person that hasn't learned how to share, how to meet the needs of others, how to give out of their own need so that their needs are met. Because when you give out of your own need to others, your needs are met.) {7} Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways. {8} Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it,and I will be glorified, saith Jehovah. {9} Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, while ye run every man to his own house. (And who is the house of the Lord, according to Paul? We are.) {10} Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit. {11} And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands. (What a curse! All because they're not meeting the needs of God's house. Amen? I tell you, folks, learn this lesson. This is a way to abundance. Give, and it will be given unto you good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over shall men give into your bosom. On the way to abundance. Get used to giving. Do it till you like it. Give. Because the Lord said in {Luke 6:35} But love your enemies, and do them good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High: (In other words, this is a way to sonship. Nobody who is stingy is a son of God. There's nobody who doesn't meet the needs of the people around them that's a son of God. You shall be sons. Remember, we've talked about the difference between children and sons. The world's waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. That's what the world needs: sons.) for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil. (So don't be a judge or you will be judged. I mean, people need time to grow up. They need to live long enough to grow up. So make sure that you take care of them.)  {36} Be ye merciful, even as your Father is merciful. (Having mercy is giving people what they don't deserve.) {37} And judge not, and ye shall not be judged: and condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: release, and ye shall be released: {38} give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again. (So if you give abundantly, you will receive back abundantly. You will receive it multiplied here, according to this text, multiplied back abundantly. Isn't that awesome? Oh, Praise You Father! Father, please teach Your children to give like You do. And we praise You for it.) {Matthew 6:19} Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: (Do you know about the money system in this world, how the thieves have broken through, and they're stealing? Yeah, so don't count on their system to see to your future. See to God's economy for your future. Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, because you can do this. There is a bank that these guys can't get into. And you can make a withdrawal on it anytime you want to. But if you don't put it in there, you can't withdraw on it.) {20} but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: (They can't get into your heavenly bank. Only you can get into that one. But you have to deposit it there.) {21} for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also. (So if you're hoarding up and you have all your faith in what you have down here on earth, your heart is on this and not on the Lord. Your trust is not in the Lord. In fact, I'll prove that to you here in this text.)  {22} The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. (So put your eye on the Word of God, on what you have according to the Word, and how God will meet your needs, and how He wants you to live towards others, and love towards others.) {23} But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness! {24} No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one (that's the money, the mammon), and despise the other (that's God.) That's what the Lord is saying. If you hold to it, you hoard it; you are despising God. You are not being a disciple, because you haven't renounced your ownership yet. Do I say that because you have to give it all away? No, you have to give it all into the hands of God and let Him tell you what to do with it. It's that simple.) Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (This is the Common Aramaic word for riches and is derived from the Hebrew word for treasure. From mammonas, meaning ‘confidence, that which is trusted in.' So, it's not necessarily just money either, but it's what you have your confidence in. It could be gold, it could be silver, it could be properties. Whatever you're storing up your treasure in, and you have your confidence in, that's your mammon. So, we must repent. We must please God.) {Luke 12:28} But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more shall he clothe you, O ye of little faith? (People want to make sure that they're going to be provided for, and their trust is in their mammon, to take care of themselves. But they don't have faith. And didn't God choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith? Yeah, because they know they don't have to pack it with them everywhere they go. They know God will be there to supply their every need according to His riches and glory.) {29} And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. {30} For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. {31} Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you. {32} Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. {33} Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, (In other words, don't store up your money for long periods of time.) a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth. {34} For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (So it's a dangerous thing to count on the treasures of the world and men of the world and their schemes. And of course, the hierarchy out there in the economic world, they're just there to cheat you. And they've got an ultimate plan to do that. So if you're playing their game, you know, they're going to beat you at it. God wants us to get into His economy.) {Luke 12:16} And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: {17} and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits? (meaning, on himself) {18} And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods. {19} And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry. (I remember back when things were leading up to Y2K, how people stored up whole rooms full of food and stuff like that. And when they heard me preaching and teaching on these things, and how God's not going to favor that, and that it'll be stolen, and how people will look for people that do that to steal it from them, and maybe kill them in the process. You know, a lot of them went to look at their stores, and they found that, yeah, the thieves had broken through and were stealing. There were all kinds of little critters feeding on their food, and they had to throw it away.) {20} But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; (it actually says, “this night they require thy soul of thee.” Why is that? These things that he had stored up were his god.) and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? (Yeah, who's going to get that while you're gone? Who's going to eat all that which cost you your life, and you're gone, and you're not in the kingdom?) {21} So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. (So he's saying, if you're laying up treasure for yourself, you're not rich towards God. Wouldn't you rather be rich towards God? Wouldn't you have to have your needs met wherever you go?)  {Luke 18:22} And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. (Grain was stored up under Joseph for the coming 7 years of famine/tribulation. Joseph was the greatest type of Jesus, Who was sold by his brethren into bondage and preached to the spirits in prison, and came out to rule the world. So, we can store up under Jesus in heaven by meeting the needs of others. And when we have a need, our need will be met. That's what He says, and it can't be stolen.)  {23} But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich. {24} And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! {25} For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (We know about the needle's eye. The Pharisees made it a doorway, but no, that wasn't what He was saying at all. He said it's very hard, impossible, actually, for a camel to go through a needle's eye.) {26} And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved? {27} But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. (How does God save men? He changes them. Anybody who's not willing to change cannot be saved. You have to be willing to change.)  {Luke 16:19} Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day: {20} and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores, {21} and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores. {22} And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom: (which was the good side of Sheol, which was the place of the dead. When Jesus was resurrected, He took Abraham's bosom to heaven.) and the rich man also died, and was buried. {23} And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, (Hades is the bad side of Sheol.) and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. {24} And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame. {25} But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, (In other words, you can either hold to wealth here or you can have there forever. You know, sometimes we're called to give up something that we can't keep in order to get something that we can't lose.) and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish. (I know people just pass right over this, and they don't really fear God. They just pass right over this like it's nothing. Look at what He's saying. Look at the life Jesus and His disciples gave us as an example of. Look at that life. And they were happy. There's no happiness in riches and things. Look at the people who have won lotteries. Look how long it takes for them to be destroyed and how they're never happy. And now they're even worse off. It's just an opportunity to live after the lusts of the flesh and lose your life. Look how happy the disciples were. They gave as they went, everywhere. And because they gave, it was given unto them. They became a channel for God's goodness to people. That's what God wants for us. He wants us to be blessed in this way.)  {26} And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us. {27} And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house; {28} for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. {29} But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. (In other words, they have the word of God, let them hear the word of God. Notice, he is speaking to us. Look how important this text is. He is speaking to us. They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. Gods not sending them somebody from the dead that they're going to listen to, because He did send somebody from the dead, and they wouldn't listen.) {30} And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent. {31} And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead. (And he did. What we have to do is hear the word of God. We have to hear what it says, not because somebody else is doing it or not doing it. We have to hear what He says in the Word of God. We're going to be held responsible for what we hear in the Word of God. And those that do will bear much fruit, and He will give them that which is their own. But if you're not faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? What you have is not yours. Nothing that you have, that you consider yours, is yours. It's God's. We are now stewards. It never calls us owners in the New Testament. These people are liars. When they put you under the tithe to bring money to them, they have to put you under the law to bring money to them, because God would not work it in your heart to give to them. And they know that. So they put you under the law, which is under a curse, because it's a totally different relationship with God. Come out from under the law, which is come out from under the curse. He wants a cheerful giver, not of necessity. They preach necessity all the time. You must tithe, or else they say, If you don't do this, you're going to be cursed. But actually, if you do that, you are cursed. Unless you've just done it in your ignorance, and then, as soon as you found out what the Bible really said, you began to follow the Bible, like a lot of people do. They're not staying in one spot. They're not stagnant. They're running after God, like I was.  When I first went to a church that taught tithing, I said to myself, Well, if God likes ten percent, I'm going to give Him twenty. So, I did. By the way, along with that, I sold almost everything I had. All my toys and things. I just sold them all. I didn't have time to do anything but read the Bible anyway. So, I just sold them all and gave that to God. So, it was far above twenty percent. But then the Lord taught me that, No, you're still a Pharisee, because you're under a law that you made for yourself. So, as soon as I gained understanding about that, I went right into listening to the Holy Spirit, because you've been given the Holy Spirit to show you what God wants you to do with what belongs to Him. You see? So I began to listen to the Holy Spirit, and come out from under any laws I made for myself, as well as any laws that man would put upon me, bringing me under a covenant that does not exist anymore, in order to break my covenant that does exist. Amen?   The Transfer of Wealth Prophetic Vision: Wealth Transfer – Time is Short! End times Lindsay and Richard Roberts (son of Oral Roberts, healing evangelist, founder of ORU) from Living Truth 9/21/26 Link Partial Transcript: Lindsay said, I had been asleep off and on at night. Sometime in the middle of the night, I became fully awake and I saw a vision. God shows me things in billboard signs. Billboards, to me, are information and God was showing me things in billboards, and they're always very illuminated, very bright, very electric, and very what I would call succinct, distinct messages. I saw myself getting into a car and driving along a road, and I saw the first billboard. And all of a sudden the first billboard illuminated brightly; just as bright as it could be. It had a black outline with a gold frame and when it illuminated, it was like someone switched the light on. Like it was dark and then, BAM! The light came on; it said, END TIME. Now, that's not a big revelation. The first billboard said END TIME. Not like time's going to end, but “End Time,” but there was more to it. I kept on driving. The second one said TRANSFER. So I saw where this is going: End Time Transfer…. And then the next one, the third one said, OF WEALTH. Now the END TIME sign was just the most illuminated gold; like a gold color, but it was like an illuminated light that was shining gold. The next one said, TRANSFER; and it was also illuminated gold. And the next one said, OF WEALTH, and it was also illuminated gold. I kept driving and the next one said, WICKED, and it did NOT illuminate. So, it was like, WEALTH OF THE (was illuminated) and then “WICKED” – I could see it on the billboard, but it was not illuminated, not super bright, and it went dark. (God has been gathering up the wealth of the wicked and putting it in His account to transfer it in the days to come to the needs of His people. This is a parallel in history to when His people were coming out of Egypt to go into their wilderness, which Rev. chapters 12 and 17 reveal to be the Tribulation. The Egyptians' gold and silver was TRANSFERED to His people.) All the first billboards were illuminated brightly, almost like enticing, and I wanted to see the next one, but on the one that said, WICKED, the light went out, as if the “lights went out on the wicked.” And I thought, okay, that's just kind of weird. And it didn't make sense to me. And I kept on driving. And there it went again; another billboard said, END TIMEand was totally illuminated. TRANSFERENCE was so electric and illuminated. And then it said, OF WEALTH. And when I saw the word WEALTH and drove past it, it began to illuminate. And out of the W of the word WEALTH transfers came…., Okay, so I'm immediately thinking “money.” But no, it wasn't. Although money was part of it, I could see like, money was being ready to transfer out of the W. I saw it come down from the W. There were ideas; the word technology came out of it, the wordtelevision came out of it, the word radio came out of it, the word paintings came out of it, the word affluence came out of it, the word influence came out of it. So when the word WEALTH lit up out of the W, it was as though God was releasing not just what the world would call “wealth”, but what He was calling wealth. We think of wealth in terms of money, but I think God was saying to me in this vision; He was showing me that there are lots of things that are “wealth” that create financial wealth. And some of those are “ideas”. Some of those are “art”. Some of them are the “industry”. Some of them are “sales”; they're businesses, ways of doing things, new ways. And here's the weird thing. It was creative things that I knew, but then all of a sudden it had, like a twist, like it was technology. Well, when I saw the word technology come out of the W, it was like new technology. And then I saw the word radio. Well, I've seen the radio; we have a radio. But it was like new control over the airwaves, television; new control over what's on television or creating new television stations. And I kept seeing all of this come pouring out of the word WEALTH but it wasn't going anywhere yet. I thought, okay, that's interesting. What came to me was the scripture, “wealth of the wicked laid up for the righteous” -END TIME TRANSFERENCE OF WEALTH. I got in the car and kept right on driving. So, here it is, Wealth. And all of this was just pouring out of the W. Then I saw the words OF THE totally illuminated; and WICKED and it was not illuminated. You could see it; the outline, but WICKED was not illuminated. They, the Wicked, weren't the bright light they used to be. And then as I'm still driving, instead of anything else, the next sign was dark and dark and dark. (Does this mean darkness will cover the earth?) And I'm like, "Wow, I have been passing along, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for the next sign." Think about that. We're waiting for the next sign from the Lord. Every billboard I passed was dark. And then all of a sudden, the last billboard popped up out of nowhere and the word on it was illuminated gold. Only it wasn't TRANSFER or TRANSFERENCE. It was TRANSFERRED. It was done. (The Lord showed me this too. It will be done.) WEALTH OF THE WICKED. I waited and waited; we're waiting for it, and all of a sudden the next billboard was brightly illuminated, and it didn't say TRANSFER like the other ones. It said TRANSFERRED. I began to look at it and I saw two groups of people underneath [the billboard]. They were all Christians. Now, here's the second part where it was WEALTH OF THE WICKED TRANSFERRED…. and I'm about to rejoice! And then the Lord said, "Look down. There's two groups of people." So, where the W was, it was all pouring out, but it wasn't going anywhere. Out of the TRANSFERRED, there are two groups of people; they were all Christians underneath that sign. One group was like, "I'm waiting. Yay! Hey, I'm a Christian, so slap it on me." Nothing was hitting them. Not that they deserved it because, "Hey, I'm a Christian." Because they were all Christians. It was just really weird. But the second group: they were on their knees, not necessarily looking for anything; they were just worshiping God. They had waited, and they had waited and waited. But they stayed in worship. They stayed in this atmosphere of worship. They weren't looking... They were worshiping. And when the one group who were just worshiping God, not looking up to what was happening on the billboards, they were in this atmosphere of worship. And all of a sudden, when the word TRANSFERRED illuminated it was not just financial, it was ideas. And all of a sudden the words television, radio, authority and all of this- especially like ownership, businesses- were just pouring out and it was TRANSFERRED. The ones who were in the state of worship continued. And then the other ones saw [them], and thought, ‘wait a minute, we need to be worshiping.' (Then Richard said, “It's never too late to worship.”) And all of a sudden, it became almost like an outpouring of worship. And where there was an outpouring of worship, then there was an outpouring of God's provision. Now, what may be provision to me and come pouring out may be different for somebody else. But I want you to focus on whatever it is that represents what God wants to provide for you and how you are believing God for provision. And instead of focusing on everything else, I personally just want to focus on worship. And I just want to encourage you to begin to worship God because He honors that; He said He inhabits, lives, and dwells in the praises of His people. And you know, in this past year, sometimes, “Praise the Lord!” should have come out of my mouth faster than other things. I'm a human being. But I do think it's not too late. And that was the whole thing. It's not too late. God knows what happened when the wicked seemed to prosper. And I believe that we have not only the privilege of worshiping God, but it's also one of our wonderful opportunities to combat the attacks of the devil. So my word to you today is what I saw: “The wealth of the wicked being transferred to the righteous,” and then I saw the word TRANSFERRED as if God is already on it. It's done!   Praying Over The 1% and the Wealth Transfer Link Brandon Biggs 8/7/25 Partial transcript: God said, "Brandon, I just want you to know there'll be 1% that flows in this end time wealth transfer of the great wealth. (of the Church) And I'll not share My glory.” Just like I won't share My glory whenever you pray for somebody and they try to say, "Thank you, sir." And you say, “No, it ain't me. I'm just a vessel.” We got to always keep the main thing in mind and give God praise for everything in these last days. We have to always be looking at His face and knowing that He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. It's not Brandon; it's not you. I may write the check. I may be the distributor of what wealth that He gives me, but it's always to give God the praise. And it [the transfer?] will be for the unlikely people….. (Who can handle the wealth for God and His people.) The end time wealth transfer of what's about to happen with the finances; it's something you can't earn and it's something you don't deserve. But God said, "I'm going to bless you." And I've seen what's about to happen again with a glimpse. As I was lying in bed, I could see, and I was looking into these months ahead of what God is trying to do just for His remnant…. So what Brandon was emphasizing in the video about the wealth transfer distributions coming is that God wants us to be faithful in the little things in obedience before He will give you more responsibility with the greater things.   The Great End Times Transfer of Wealth Glynda Lomax, 12/13/25 wingsofprophecy.blogspot.com My children, you have heard there is a great transfer of wealth coming in these end times and it is true. Many have tried to understand how this wealth will come, as they put great hope in it. They believe the wealth is so they may own it, but that is not My way. My way is always giving and sharing with those in need. My way is always that it glorifies My Son Jesus, not mankind. Those who have little fear of the greater lack that is coming, yet I am already providing for them ahead of time and I need only speak to those who are truly Mine and they will give immediately. It is to those children that I will give the end times wealth. It is those who will give whatever amount, as much as I say. WHEN I say that I will endow, that My purposes may be fulfilled, that MY Son's great name may be glorified and not their own. These are those who have purified themselves for My pleasure. They live holy lives to please Me and that I may use them in greater ways. These of My children, who are very few, shall be greatly endowed yet will not flaunt it. They will not consume it upon their lusts. They will not use the power of it against others. These are those with hearts to give. They are simply channels of My glory. There will be no announcement or fanfare when they become wealthy. They will simply continue doing what they are already doing – being about their Father's business in the Earth, helping the poor and watching for My Son's return. Inquire of Me if you desire to qualify for this great transfer, for it happens soon. (Glynda gave these verses) Deuteronomy 6:10-12 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, 11 And houses full of all good [things], which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full; 12 [Then] beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Proverbs 13:22 A good [man] leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner [is] laid up for the just. (This is not just for personal use but for whatever the Lord wills and to get the gospel out.) Job 27:16-17 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; 17 He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. Ecclesiastes 2:26 For [God] giveth to a man that [is] good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him that is] good before God. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit. Proverbs 28:8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. James 2:15-16 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit? Matthew 25:35-40 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee] drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked, and clothed [thee]? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me. Luke 3:10-14 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? 11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely; and be content with your wages. Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, [thou] good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.   Vision About The Wealth Transfer Victoria Ang, 7/28/23 link The enemy does not want this Word to go out!!! I typed up the whole post; I went to send and everything got deleted!!! So I had to start all over again!!!! I wanted to share some encouragement the Lord gave me this morning. I was woken in the early morning hours as usual to pray, around 5 AM. I spent about an hour in prayer, praise and worship. Afterwards, I wanted to go back to sleep for a little bit before getting up for the day to tackle tending the animals. Immediately after prayers, I received a vision…. In the VISION, I saw I had a check in my hand. I was made to know I could cash it. There was a woman standing in front of a register. I handed her the check. As I gave it to her, she dropped it on the floor. She bent over to pick the check up to cash it for me. She looked at the check and opened her drawer and pulled out large stacks of bills in piles. Before giving it to me, she glanced once again to verify the amount. As she was verifying, she put the large piles of money back into the drawer. She walked over to a HUGE bank vault. She put the combination in and opened the vault. She walked into the vault as I waited to receive my money. Next she came back out pushing an enormously big cart. Full from top to bottom with stacks upon stacks upon stacks of money! She went to give me the money and the vision ended! Interpretation: his vision is about the wealth transfer that will soon occur. Money from the evildoers that has been hidden. And those who stashed money away for themselves are about to fall from their hands to the ground. Losing EVERYTHING! (God takes it for His use.) And transferred to God's righteous! Blessing them in abundance!!! The Lord God has made it known to those who will receive the funds!   1978 Prophecy Wealth Transfer Charles Capps Posted 2/5/26 link Transcript: Here's a prophecy Charles Capps gave February 1, 1978, in a meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. Financial inversion shall increase in these days. Now, let's define financial inversion or inversion. A turning upside down or inside-out reversal of position. Have you got it? Turning upside down or inside out. Reversal of position. One party has it, oppressing others with it. But after the inversion, positions change. That's what an inversion is. Now listen to this. Financial inversion shall increase in these days. For you see, it is My desire to move in the realm of your financial prosperity. But release Me, saith the Lord, release Me that I may come in your behalf and move on your behalf. For yes, yes, yes, there shall be in this hour financial distress here and there. The economy shall go up and it will go down. (Now, this was prophesied in 1978.) The economy shall go up and it will go down. But those that learn to walk in the Word, they shall see the prosperity of the Word come forth in this hour in a way that has not been seen by men in days past. Yes, there's coming a financial inversion in the world's system. It's been held in reservoirs of wicked men for days on end, but the end is nigh. Those reservoirs shall be tapped and shall be drained into the gospel of Jesus Christ. It shall be done, saith the Lord. It shall be done in the time allotted. And so shall it be that the Word of the Lord shall come to pass that the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Predominantly in two ways it will be done in this hour. Those that have hoarded up and stored because of the inspiration of the evil one and held the money from the gospel shall be converted and drawn into the Kingdom. Then shall it release that reservoir into the Kingdom. Now the Spirit of God said that wealth will come in two ways. Number one, many of those people will be born again and bring their wealth into the Kingdom. Can you shout amen? Amen. And then the other way He said, but many, many will not. They'll not heed the voice of the Word of God. They'll turn aside to this and they'll turn aside to that and they'll walk in their own ways, but their ways will not work in this hour. It'll dwindle and it'll slip away as though it were in bags with holes in them. It'll go here and it'll go there and they'll wonder why it's not working now. It worked in days past, they'll say. I mean, the world's at that point right now. They cannot figure out why what they've done all these years is not working anymore. But it shall be, saith the Lord, that the Word of the Lord shall rise within men; men of God, of low esteem in the financial world. They shall claim the Word of God to be their very own and walk in the light of it as it has been set forth in the Word and give. They'll begin to give small at first because that's all they have. But then it will increase. And through the hundredfold return, so shall it be that the reservoirs that have held the riches in days past, so shall it return to the hands of the giver. Because of the hundredfold return shall the reservoirs be lost from the wicked and turn to the gospel. For it shall be in this hour that you will see things that you never dreamed would come to pass. Oh, it'll be strong at first in ways, then it will grow greater and greater until men will be astounded, and the world will stand in awe, because the ways of men have failed, and the ways of God shall come forth. As men walk in My Word, so shall they walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh yes, there will be some who say, "Yes, but God's ways are higher, surely higher than our ways, and we can't walk in those." It's true that the ways of God are higher. They are higher than your ways as the heavens are above the earth. But I'll teach you to walk in My ways. I never did say you couldn't walk in My ways. Now learn to walk in it. Learn to give. So shall the inversion of the financial system revert. And so shall it be that the gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached to all the world. And there shall be no lack in the Kingdom. Those that give shall walk in the ways of the supernatural. They shall be known abroad. My Word shall spread and the knowledge of the Lord shall fill all the earth in the day and the hour in which you stand. Ye shall see it and know it, for it is of Me and it shall come to pass, saith the Lord. Can you shout, "Amen?" Now, that was prophesied in 1978. God said there would be an allotted time. And we're walking in it right now. The inversion has begun. Now the door is not fully open…. Before Cyrus/Trump came to deliver the people of God from Babylon DS, there was a plan by previous Socialist Communists to redistribute the wealth to themselves and those who are bent on destroying the people of God, like Haman and his people in Esther. But Mordecai, representing the pre-anointed Man-child, and Esther, representing the Bride, interceded to the King, which overthrew their evil plan, which is what we are now seeing. Ecc.1:9-10 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us. Cyrus gave great wealth, taken from Babylon's treasury, into the hands of God's people to leave Babylon and rebuild the Kingdom, represented by the Temple, in the Promised Land. So Trump is doing now, by the hand of God, through the RV and GCR. Ezr.6:4 with three courses of great stones, and a course of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house. This was a great redistribution of wealth to God's people. 2Ch.36:22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him, and let him go up. (These represent a first fruits of those to leave Babylonish religion to go to the true place and teaching of God. Building the Temple represents the building of the saints who are the temple of God. Jesus is the Temple of God and they are coming into His image.) The people also contributed great wealth towards this rebuilding. Ezr.1:4-11 And whosoever is left, in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill-offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem. 5 Then rose up the heads of fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is in Jerusalem. 6 And all they that were round about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered. 7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods; 8 even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. 9 And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a thousand platters of silver, nine and twenty knives, 10 thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand. 11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem. (These vessels of the house of God represent His people who were taken captive by Babylon but were released by Cyrus to be returned to the Promised Land to live on the promises.) Ezr.6:5 And also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple, which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place; and thou shalt put them in the house of God. ………………………………………… (Here is some news and predictions from the Alliance. Sometimes their dates are disinformation to throw off the enemy's plans. They wisely may not give a date when they finally do some things. The D.S.is warring to stop them.) Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Sat. 26 Sept. 2026 On Thurs. 1 Oct. 2026 The Bankrupt US Inc. Corp. Government Closes Shutting Down Their Privately Owned Federal Reserve & IRS. Government Shrinks 90-95% As The Global Military Alliance Takes Control Until New Elections. United States of America Republic Begins Under Gold/asset-backed QFS & GCR Activation. Emergency Broadcast System Broadcasts Take Over Phones, TV, Radio To Explain What's Going On Judy Note: Think Congress went on recess Friday until after the November election? Think again. With US Inc. Bankrupt, there would be no November election for that private corporation. Most of it's Congressional officers were said to be under arrest, charged with Treason and Crimes Against Humanity. Within 60 days there would be an election for the new United States of America Republic that starts its new fiscal year on Thurs. 1 Oct. 2026 under a gold-backed US Note as part of a Global Currency Reset. To accomplish a new US Republic that runs under concepts of the original Constitution, President Trump and the Global Military Alliance have been executing the largest Sting Operation in history. Over 80 nation's Military forces across the globe were mobilized – US, Canada, UK, EU, and beyond. They've already arrested and tried over half a million Global Elites for Crimes Against Humanity. On Thurs. 1 Oct. 2026 the Global Elite Cabal's US Inc. Corp. Government would be dissolved, finally ending their fiat monetary system and closing their US Inc. government. On that same Thurs. 1 Oct. 2026 the privately owned (by Cabal bankers) Federal Reserve and IRS would shut down because US Inc. Corp.'s fiscal year ended. It was bound to happen. US Inc. has been bankrupt since 2008, with no Congressional budget approvals, or accountability – just running on fumes with a fiat dollar. The Cabal's Blackrock was also Bankrupt. This was the Deep State's financial arm that controlled more wealth than entire nations. With 209 nations' switching to the gold/asset-backed currency system on Thurs. 1 Oct, the Deep State no longer had access to Taxpayer monies. So sad. All banks worldwide not Basel III compliant (have gold backing to their monies) will be closed. The Basel III regulations could alter the real estate market in unprecedented ways. In the first week of October the Emergency Broadcast System was set to activate and broadcast documentaries 24/7 on the state of the World. With the QFS activation, governments as we know them were expected to shrink by 90-95%. The Global Military Alliance will take control worldwide until after elections, which have to be held within 60 days. Forget the November elections. They're not happening, not on this timeline. NESARA GESARA was well in force as countries worldwide were activating the gold/asset-backed Quantum Financial System and Global Currency Reset. The BRICS nations heads the greatest wealth transfer in history. 134 nations were ditching the fiat US dollar and moving to gold-backed currencies. Each of these currencies will trade at a 1:1 ratio. Also on Thurs. 1 Oct the new United States of America Republic will start its new fiscal year under a gold-backed US Note as part of the Global Currency Reset. “Peace Without Concession. Order Without Apologies. Truth Without Permission. You Are Watching The Return of A Republic. Not Announced, But Executed.” …Nesara Gesara Secrets on Telegram Fri. 25 Sept. 2026 “The Greatest Financial & Political Shift in Modern History is Underway. The Global Currency Reset Has Been Released. Mass Arrests Have Been Happening For Some Time. Be Ready. Blackout (of communication). The World is Connected & Watching. TRUST THE PLAN,” …Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram Fri. 25 Sept. 2026 At the conclusion of the GCR the general population Worldwide would be invited into a Redemption Center to set up their personal wallets (formerly known as bank accounts) on the new Starlink Satellite System. Individuals would set up their wallet by way of their own body rhythms and DNA. The system was digital and completely secure. No one but that person could access their own account. The digital account would be accessed through their cell phone. ATMs would be available to obtain cash. A integral part of the revolution to make the World a Better Place through release of the GCR, was better health for all people of the World through release of Med Bed treatments. It is my understanding that Med Bed Treatment Centers have been built around the World and some were actively treating clients right now. Some large hospital chains have been bought out and Med Beds have been placed in them with doctors, nurses and medical staff fully trained in the process. People will be issued Med Bed cards to cover cost of their treatments in their own countries. The United Arab Emirates has hereby suspended Iranian flights, complying with Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent's devastating and ultimate sanctions. BESSENT LAST NIGHT: “External flights from Iran, probably more than 80%-90% got shut down. I'm not sure how the Iranian representatives at the UN are gonna get home!” Bessent's order made clear that any country aiding Iranian flights will FAFO be out of the American system. Countries must basically shun any Iranian airline aircraft if they even try landing there. …Trump Office on Telegram Fri. 25 Sept. 2026. CUBA'S ENTIRE POWER GRID JUST COLLAPSED. Total blackout. Officials have no idea when it comes back. Rubio's been saying it: the economic model is the problem. Communism. They leeched off Venezuelan oil. That tap is gone. Venezuela is aligned with the U.S. now. The lights went out. The regime is next. …Fox News Fri. 25 Sept. 2026 Possible Timeline of Global Currency Reset: …JFK on Telegram Thurs. 24 Sept. 2026:  https://t.me/johndurhamchannel By Thurs. 17 Sept. 2026 the US Inc. was broke,  sixty-three Cabal banks sat insolvent, seventy-five Cabal banks had been seized, the Chinese Elders wiped out the US National Debt, Visa and Mastercard rails were dead and Petrodollar contracts expired the next day on Fri. 18 Sept. 2026.  On Wed. 23 Sept. 2026 at ten am EST the Federal Reserve System was shut down and bank wires were no longer going through on the old SWIFT System. On Wed. 23 Sept. 2026 at 6 pm EST the Quantum Financial System (QFS) was absorbed by the new US Treasury. On Thurs. 24 Sept. 2026 at 2am EST 23 global currencies on the QFS Trading Platform were activated and began trading. On Thurs. 24 Sept 2026 at 4 pm EST total activation of the QFS System occurred. his weekend Fri 25 to Sun 27 2026 will be an amazing revelatory weekend. Groups out West will be notified that they have access to funds. On Fri. 25 Sept. 2026 Trump gave the go-ahead for a Global Currency Reset of 209 nations to gold-backed currencies. Schedules were ready at Redemption Centers. Six new QFS nodes in Atlanta, Warsaw, Bangkok, Mexico City, Melbourne and Toronto pulsed live after the Kahlooni Family Gathering locked in the Restored Republic window. On Sun. 27 Sept. 2026 at 5pm EST Trump will give his keynote address. On Mon. 28 Sept. 2026 Blackout: NESARA will kick off. The main arrests begin of judges, prosecutors and lawyers who were paid by George Soros to betray and sabotage the United States. On Mon. 28 or Tues. 29 Sept. 2026 Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) should be notified to set exchange/ redemption appointments, a

Interview with Stephen Soock, VP Investor Relations & Development of Heliostar MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/heliostar-metals-tsxvhstr-emerging-gold-producer-targets-300k-oz-by-2030-with-strong-cash-flow-10415Recording date: 24th September 2026Heliostar Metals (TSXV:HSTR, OTCQX:HSTXF) is a Mexico-focused gold producer attempting to move from roughly 50,000 ounces a year towards 300,000 ounces by the end of the decade without issuing new equity. The strategy rests on sequencing. Two producing heap leach mines, La Colorada in Sonora and San Agustin in Durango, generate cash that is being directed into the Ana Paula underground project in Guerrero. Ana Paula's cash flow is then expected to fund Cerro del Gallo in Guanajuato.Operationally, the company produced 14,803 ounces of gold in Q2 2026 at a year-to-date AISC of $2,155 per ounce. La Colorada has moved from stockpile processing to injection leaching, which Stephen Soock, VP Investor Relations & Development, said is producing about 1,000 ounces a month. Waste stripping on the Veta Madre Plus cutback runs to around Q2 2027, followed by nine to 12 months of production from fresher ore. Soock expects about 20,000 additional ounces beyond the existing Veta Madre reserve, although a technical report has not yet been issued.Ana Paula is the core of the investment case. The feasibility study is 34% complete and due in Q2 2027. Drilling of about 25,000 metres focused on converting inferred material, and the company is targeting 100,000 ounces a year over a 10-year mine life. Optimisations include raising throughput to 2,000 tonnes per day, sizing equipment for 2,500 tonnes per day, and a twin-decline design with an underground crusher and conveyor that could cut operating costs. Bio-oxidation remains the preferred processing route, and Soock noted it is not yet used in North America. Initial capital is expected to rise from the PEA's $300 million to around $330 million. The study gold price is likely to move from $2,400 to around $3,500 per ounce based on a three-year trailing average.The funding plan allocates about $150 million of operating cash flow to Ana Paula construction over roughly two years, net of overheads and exploration. Project debt is intended to cover the rest. Cash is expected to hold near US$43 million through year-end, and just under $15 million is budgeted for deposits on long-lead items. A construction decision is expected around June or July 2027, with first gold targeted before the end of 2028.Beyond Ana Paula, Cerro del Gallo offers about 85,000 ounces a year over 15 years on current study numbers, with Soock suggesting an updated PFS could show a larger staged project. Exploration is picking up at La Colorada and Ana Paula, where down-dip drilling returned 101.0 metres at 5.34 g/T gold. Goldstrike in Utah adds an antimony zone with drill results pending.On valuation, Soock argues Heliostar trades at about 0.2 times P/NAV against 0.4 to 0.8 times for junior producers, and at around two times estimated 2029 cash flow. The main risks are gold price sensitivity of the self-funding model, permitting in Mexico, and execution across several concurrent transitions. Near-term catalysts include BIOX test results, the Ana Paula permit submission, long-lead orders in Q4 2026 and the feasibility study itself.View Heliostar Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/heliostar-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe

It's Thursday, September 24th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Sri Lanka sentenced 15 men for bombing churches Sri Lanka's High Court sentenced 15 men to life in prison on Tuesday for bombing churches. In this island country off the coast of India in the Indian Ocean, the men participated in the bombings of three churches on Easter Sunday in 2019. Religiously speaking, nearly 70 percent of the 22 million Sri Lankans are Buddhist, 12 percent are Hindu, 11 percent are Muslim, and 7 percent are Christian.  The terrorist group, Islamic State, inspired the attacks which killed over 250 people. The Catholic Church welcomed the convictions. However, leaders are also calling for an investigation into alleged political involvement behind the bombings. South Korea to greenlight Abortion Kill Pill for mothers LifeSiteNews reports that South Korea is set to allow deadly abortion drugs into the country. The government made the announcement last week. Mothers will be able to get Abortion Kill Pills up to nine weeks of their pregnancies by early 2027. South Korea decriminalized abortion in 2019. It delayed legislation on abortion pills due to push back from Christian groups.  United Nations trying to criminalize pro-life & pro-family positions The United Nations General Assembly meeting opened in New York City on Tuesday.  Leaders from around the world gathered to discuss issues like the U.S.-Iran war, the Russia-Ukraine war, and Artificial Intelligence.  Member nations are also considering a proposal to criminalize pro-life and pro-family positions under international law. CitizenGO organized a petition against this which has been signed by over 140,000 people.

New York University Langone Hospitals and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center will no longer offer transgender drugs and surgeries to children.  Attorney General Todd Blanche said, “Today's resolutions send a clear message: Hospitals that target children in these practices and then fraudulently obtain payment for the procedures will be held to account!” Over 40 hospital systems have ended transgender operations since President Trump began his second term last year. 28 percent of churchgoers say Biblical truth becomes obsolete LifeWay Research released a new survey on what churchgoers believe about the Bible. Most Protestant churchgoers in the U.S. are confident in their ability to understand the Bible and explain it to others. However, most churchgoers also believe that the truth of God's Word can mean different things to different people. And a growing number share doubt or reject Biblical truths.  Specifically, 28 percent said some Biblical truths become obsolete as culture changes, up from 24 percent in 2019. Among churchgoers under the age of 30, 54 percent believe that Biblical truths become obsolete as culture changes But Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Microchip maker joins trillion-dollar club Another U.S. company joined the trillion-dollar club. Advanced Micro Devices, or AMD, surpassed one trillion dollars in market capitalization on Monday. The computer chip maker has profited from the growth of Artificial Intelligence computing.  It's now the fourth chipmaker in the United States to reach a trillion dollar valuation. The others are Nvidia, Broadcom, and Micron.   Researchers discovered new species of wild cat And finally, researchers discovered a new species of wild cat for the first time in a century.  It's known as the Tilcayo tiger cat. The feline is spotted and smaller than most house cats. It's been living at a wildlife sanctuary in Bolivia, South America for years. Locals knew about it, but scientists had not identified it as a unique species until now.  Jonas Lescroart with the University of Antwerp said, “Even in groups that are very well studied, like the cat family, apparently there's still a diversity that is hidden.” Indeed, God continues to surprise us with His creation. In Psalm 50:10-11, God says, “For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 24th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

“The problem with heroes, of course, is that no one is perfect, says Heather Hansman, author of Fierce Country. “Mine aren't. They bumbled and lied and burned bridges and screwed up. They were often egotistical and angry, driven by an obsessive kind of love.” In this episode of Emerging Form, we talk with Heather about how her new book explores new kinds of heroes–specifically women in the outdoors–and why these voices have not been heard much in the past and why it's important that we do hear about more women. In addition we talk about how hard it is to be honest about our heroes–to present them with all their flaws and struggles as well as their triumphs. We talk about researching real people after they've died, the importance of walking away from a project, and obsession.Heather Hansman is an award-winning freelance writer and the celebrated author of Fierce Country: The Untold Story of Three Women Who Ignited America's Love for the Wild, Powder Days: Ski Bums, Ski Towns and the Future of Chasing Snow and Downriver: Into the Future of Water in the West.

We introverts do not need fixing, but that does not mean there is no room for growth, development and becoming braver. I have been thinking about what actually needs to change, what I want to change, and what is within my control or influence to change, because those are not necessarily the same thing. There is also a line of sight from our own behaviour through culture and into wider systems, and we have more influence than we may realise. The trick is knowing when something really is ours to change, and when we have simply decided it is our job to sort it out. And yes, there is a difference.   Key points  

Friday, 25 September 2026   A summary of Matthew Chapter 22.    The individual chapters of Matthew have given a broad panorama of what is going on in redemptive history. In the recent chapters, we saw that Chapter 20 was filled with hints of the transition from the dispensation of the law to the dispensation of grace. It dealt with order and propriety concerning the redemptive process, ensuring that each step is completed as the plan progresses.   It also presented the truth that God has made faith in what He has done the necessary condition for man's salvation. Nothing more can be added to it, and without meeting that one condition, there is no chance of obtaining access.   Chapter 21 continued that thought, dealing specifically with the object of that faith, Jesus Christ. Chapter 21 ended with the parable of the wicked vinedressers. It clearly revealed that the vineyard would be taken away from Israel and given to other vinedressers.   That continued as Chapter 22 began, as seen in the parable of the wedding feast. The symbolism was that the Father was preparing Jesus as a bridegroom. The invitation was made to Israel, but they rejected the offer.   Because of this, they were destroyed and their city, Jerusalem, was burned, exactly what later occurred. Therefore, the message went throughout the world, inviting anyone to come and share in the banquet. At the end of the parable, it was seen that only those who had the appropriate garments, signifying the righteousness of Christ, were welcome. All others would be cast into outer darkness.   The rest of the chapter shows Israel what their true responsibilities are and where their proper doctrine should lie. What is said is directed to Israel. As such, even though the parable of the wedding feast showed that their people and city would be destroyed, it does not mean that it is the end of the line for Israel the nation.   Rather, the interactions show that any future for them must include a right understanding of what is expected of them and how to appropriate their right to be God's people once again.   The first note of this was the challenge of the Pharisees and Herodians concerning one's obligation to society. They attempted to trap Jesus into taking one side or another, but He gave a rightly centered third option. We live in the world and must interact with the world around us.   Israel under the law still has obligations to fulfill apart from the law. Using an earthly example of Caesar, the exchange demonstrates that what belonged to Caesar was to be rendered to Caesar. What can be inferred from this is that Caesar is being used as a type of Christ. If God has determined a new path for Israel, apart from the law, they must meet that obligation.   This was seen in the use of the word eikón when Jesus asked, “Whose, the ‘likeness, this'? And whose inscription?” That word is used in 2 Corinthians 4:4 and Colossians 3:14 when referring to Christ. Jesus is the image of God. The inscription that this is the case is seen in Luke 23 –   “And an inscription [epigraphé] also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew:                          THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.” Luke 23:38   Jesus is the image of God. The inscription at His crucifixion was a sign to Israel that He is their King. God gave the law to Israel, and they were obligated to it. But God also gave Jesus to Israel. Thus, they are obligated to Him. As Jesus fulfilled the law, Israel must come to Jesus (the fulfillment of the law), thus rendering to God what is God's, both under the law and under the Headship of Christ.   After that, Jesus was challenged by the Sadducees concerning the resurrection. The resurrection is the ultimate sign of Jesus' authority as the designated Messiah and representative of God. Therefore, if a resurrection was possible and to be expected based on the state of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, then it was to be expected that when Jesus resurrected, they should have understood that He was the fulfillment of the messianic promises.   After that, the Pharisees had a lawyer, a man who was a specialist in the law, test Jesus concerning the greatest commandment. Jesus' response was a two-fold answer: total allegiance and devotion to God and love toward one's neighbor that matched one's love of himself. Jesus finished the exchange, saying, “In these, the two commandments, all the law and the prophets, they hang.”   As seen, the impossibility of meeting these two commandments was highlighted. It thus takes the reader's mind back to the previous two encounters: First, that there is an obligation to God through the law and a fulfillment of it in Christ, to which the people are obligated. Second, that there was an absolute need for Christ because only He could adequately satisfy the demands of the law.   The chapter finished with the final piece of the “need for Jesus” puzzle. Jesus asked the Pharisees, who had gathered, a question concerning the Sonship of the Christ. Their answer was that the Christ was the son of David, something exactingly seen in their Scriptures. However, they missed the important point from those Scriptures that David considered the Christ his “Lord.”   In citing the 110th Psalm, it is clear that this son of David, who is his Lord, would be given the full authority of God –   “He said, Lord, to the ‘Lord, Mine', ‘You sit from ‘rights, Me', Until if I should put the ‘enemies, Yours' – footstool, the ‘feet, Yours'.'” Matthew 22:44   As this is so, it is an implicit reference to the deity of Christ. This then solidifies the previous thought even further: the obligation to Israel under the law was to God, but because Jesus is the Lord incarnate, Israel has a full obligation to Him as well. Rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar's can be seen in this dispensation as “rendering unto Christ what is Christ's.”   The law is not a means to an end. It is also not the final obligation for Israel. It is a part of God's redemptive plan that was fulfilled in Christ. To be obedient to the law, one must bow the knee to Christ, who is God incarnate.   Life application: The chapter continues the Bible's theme of the law versus grace. There is no way around a relationship with Jesus in order to be pleasing to God. As Jesus fulfilled the law, Israel's obligation is to accept Christ's fulfillment of the law and come to God through Him. In doing so, they will be rendering their total allegiance to God, because Jesus is God incarnate.   Nothing else will do. And more, for those who teach that people today must observe the Law of Moses, in part or in whole, there will be no salvation for them. If they were saved before heading down that unholy path, there will be no rewards credited to them from that day forward.   God is not in the business of sharing His glory with others. We can either come to Him as He has determined, or not at all. The absolutes of the Christian faith are not negotiable because God, who cannot lie, has set them forth.   “He says to him, the ‘Jesus', ‘I, I am the Road, and the Truth, and the Life. None, he comes to the Father if not through Me.'” John 14:6 (CG)   Lord God, today we lift up Israel, hoping they will get Jesus right so that many will be saved before the time of trouble comes. We also lift up those who are mired in law observance instead of resting in Christ Jesus. May they give up on their path and walk the road of Jesus alone. Amen. Matthew 22   22 And answering, the ‘Jesus', again, He said in parables to them, saying, 2“It resembled, the ‘kingdom the heavens,' man, king, who he made nuptials – the ‘son, his'. 3And he sent, the ‘servants, his' to call those having been called to the nuptials. And not they inclined to come. 4Again, he sent other servants, saying, ‘You say to those having been called, “You behold, the ‘brunch, mine' I prepared, the ‘oxen, mine', and the fatted have been sacrificed, and all – readied. You come to the nuptials!'” 5The ‘also having been uncaring', they departed, the – indeed – to the ‘his field', the also to the ‘emporium, his'. 6The ‘also rest', having seized the ‘servants, his', they mistreated, and they killed. 7Having heard, also, the king, he angered, and having sent the ‘troops, his' he destroyed the ‘murderers, those', and the ‘city, theirs' he burned. 8Then, he says to ‘servants, his', ‘The, indeed, nuptial, ready, it is. Those, also, having been invited, not they were worthy. 9You go, therefore, upon the ‘through-departures, the roads', and as many, if you should find, you call to the nuptials.' 10And having departed, the ‘servants, those' into the roads, they gathered all, as many as they found, evil, both, and good. And it filled, the nuptial – reclinings.   11Having entered, also, the king, to view those reclining, he beheld there – man, not ‘having been donned, apparel, nuptial'. 12And he says to him, ‘Shammer! How – you entered here, not having ‘apparel, nuptial'?' The ‘also', he muzzled. 13Then, the king, he said to the servants, ‘Having bound his feet and hands, you take him, and you cast into the ‘darkness, the outer'. There, it will be the weeping and the ‘gnash, the teeth'.'   14Many, also, they are invitees, and few, elect.”   15Then, having gone, the Pharisees, counsel, they took: how, Him, they might ensnare in word. 16And they send to Him, the ‘disciples, theirs' with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we have known that true, You are, and the ‘road, the God' in truth You teach, and not it concerns You about anyone. Not, also, You look to ‘appearance, men'. 17You tell, therefore, us what to You, it seems? It permits to give census to Caesar or not?” 18Having known, also, the ‘Jesus', the ‘depravity, theirs', He said, “Why, Me, you test, hypocrites? 19You display to me the ‘coin, the census'.”   They also offered to Him – denarius.   20And He says to them, “Whose, the ‘likeness, this'? And whose inscription?”   21They say to Him, “Caesar's.”   Then He says to them, “You render, therefore, those Caesar's to Caesar, and those the ‘God's' to God.” 22And having heard, they wondered, and having left Him, they departed.   23In that, the ‘day', they approached Him, Sadducees (saying not is ‘resurrection'), and they queried Him, 24saying, “Teacher, Moses, he said if anyone, he should die not having children, he will affinitize the ‘brother, his, the wife, his', and he will raise seed – the ‘brother, his'. 25They were, also, among us seven brothers, and the first, having married, he died, and not having seed, he left the ‘wife, his' to the ‘brother, his'. 26Similarly, also, the second, and the third, until the seventh. 27Afterward, also of all, she died, even the woman. 28In the resurrection, therefore, which of the seven, she will be – wife? All, for, they had her.”   29Answering, also, the ‘Jesus', He said to them, “You roam, not having known the Scriptures nor the ‘power, the God'. 30 In, indeed, the resurrection, neither they marry, nor they are espoused, but like ‘messengers, the God, in heaven', they are. 31Concerning, also, the ‘resurrection, the dead', not you read the ‘having been uttered to you by the God', saying, 32‘I, I am the ‘God, Abraham', and the ‘God, Isaac', and the ‘God, Jacob'?' Not, He is, the God – ‘God, dead', but living.” 33And having heard, the crowds, they were outstruck upon the ‘teaching, His'.   34The ‘also Pharisees', having heard that He muzzled the Sadducees, they gathered upon the same. 35And he queried, one from them – ‘jurisprudent, testing Him', and saying, 36“Teacher, which-such commandment – greatest in the law?” 37The ‘also Jesus', He said to him, “You will love – ‘Lord, the God, yours' in all the ‘heart, yours', and in all the ‘soul, yours', and in all the ‘cognition, yours'. 38This, it is – first and great commandment. 39Second, also, like it: You will love the ‘neighbor, yours' as yourself. 40In these, the two commandments, all the law and the prophets, they hang.”   41Having been gathered, also, the Pharisees, He queried them, the ‘Jesus', 42saying, “What – you, you think about the Christ? Whose Son, He is?”   They say to Him, “The ‘of David'.”   43He says to them, “How then, David – in Spirit, ‘Lord,' Him, he calls, saying:   44‘He said, Lord, to the ‘Lord, Mine', “You sit from ‘rights, Me', Until if I should put the ‘enemies, Yours' – footstool, the ‘feet, Yours'.”'   45If therefore, David, he calls Him ‘Lord,' how ‘Son, His' He is?” 46And none, He could Him answer – word, nor he ventured, any, from that, the day, to question Him longer.

"I didn't f---ing get my own f---ing mother murdered just so I could live for everybody else." That is Gypsy Rose Blanchard on a recorded prison line, saying the quiet part out loud. She had taken the plea and could never be tried again, so she let her guard down. Then a content creator asked Missouri for the whole archive, and four days later the state sent it to her. So what does Gypsy actually sound like when she thinks nobody is listening? In this episode you will hear: Gypsy doing the math on her own fame. She is going to be rich when she gets out. It seems like everybody in her orbit is trying to figure out how to cash in on the story. Gypsy has a new mom. She tells her stepmother Kristy that Mother's Day is a good holiday and a sad holiday at the same time. You can hear the two of them becoming family in real time. Gypsy threatens Fancy Macelli. Gypsy talks about what she plans to do to Fancy when she gets out of prison. Gypsy at her loneliest. Man after man writes to her after watching her on TV. Gypsy talks about going to a cancer dental clinic. In a call about a broken denture, she mentions the oncology dental clinic that made it and lets slip that they will not take her now that she is not a cancer patient. The internet calls that the smoking gun. Attorney calls leaked. Some of these recordings are conversations with her attorney, Mike Stanfield. I have listened to a lot of these calls and I am sure I missed some. Now, the State of Missouri released the Nick Godejohn's calls too, so there are even more coming.
