This week at Venture, Pastor Morgan concluded our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful and deeply practical message from Ephesians 5–6 on what it means to build a Spirit-filled home. Paul teaches that the truest test of our spiritual maturity isn't found on Sundays, in small groups, or in public — it's found in our homes. Pastor Morgan unpacks how the Gospel should transform our marriages, our parenting, and even our work relationships. A Spirit-filled home is built on:• Mutual submission• Christlike love• Godly order• Every relationship submitted to Jesus From marriage roles to parenting with gentleness, to representing Christ in the workplace, this message challenges us to invite the Holy Spirit into the center of our homes and everyday relationships. If your home feels chaotic, heavy, or dry — there is hope. The same Spirit who fills us in worship can fill our homes with peace, unity, and transformation. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online00:06 – “Tell us where you're watching from!”00:14 – Christmas vibes + Yule log jokes00:34 – Pastor Morgan begins + series conclusion01:12 – Recap: Armor of God (previous series)01:35 – Christmas season officially begins01:54 – Thanksgiving leftovers mourning02:14 – Hosting 12 people + refreshing the home02:46 – What a “reset” does for a house03:06 – Physical home vs. spiritual home atmosphere03:54 – Losing your holiness at home04:12 – Making Jesus famous at work vs. at home04:39 – Chaos, Legos, Costco flannels & sanctification05:17 – The home as the true test of spiritual maturity06:12 – Review of Ephesians: spiritual blessings, identity07:05 – From mountaintop truths to family relationships07:24 – If the Gospel doesn't change your home…07:48 – Instructions for Spirit-filled households08:03 – Reading Ephesians 5:21–3309:25 – Main point: A Spirit-filled home is built on mutual submission10:08 – Context: Greco-Roman household codes11:08 – How Christianity revolutionized the home11:32 – Centering all relationships on Jesus11:56 – Giving dignity and value to every family member12:23 – Calling those with power to sacrifice the most12:48 – “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ”13:03 – Definition: Voluntarily placing others above yourself13:32 – A Spirit-filled posture says: “Christ is Lord of this home”14:24 – Submission isn't weakness — Jesus modeled it15:20 – The Spirit submits to the Son — equality within submission15:46 – Submission = Christlikeness16:12 – Marriage roles begin with mutual submission16:46 – Wives: honor your husbands (own husbands!)17:11 – Misuse of this text addressed18:18 – Submission is not inferiority, silence, or passivity18:56 – Proverbs 31: strong, wise, capable women19:26 – Honor creates atmosphere for husbands to thrive19:50 – Husbands: love like Christ loved the Church20:13 – Wives submit, husbands sacrifice20:41 – Your wife doesn't need a king — she has one21:20 – Husbands set the tone of the home21:49 – Pilot illustration — calm leadership22:40 – Your marriage preaches a sermon daily23:06 – Spirit-filled parenting begins23:40 – Children: obey and honor your parents24:06 – The promise that comes with obedience24:24 – Teaching youth the value of honor25:09 – Parents: do not provoke your children25:39 – Don't crush your kids with criticism26:13 – “Bring them up” — nurture, don't intimidate26:37 – Parents + pastors = partnership (NextGen vision)27:37 – Children are like wet cement — everything leaves a mark28:08 – Spirit-filled work relationships28:18 – Working as unto the Lord29:04 – Christians should be the most reliable workers29:48 – Your work is worship30:13 – Leaders: use influence to bless, not manipulate30:35 – Business owners leading with Christlike character31:01 – Spirit-filled relationships submit to Christ31:17 – Taking inventory of our own homes31:44 – Is Christ the center of your home?32:01 – What atmosphere greets people in your house?32:50 – The Spirit can transform your home33:13 – Harshness, sarcasm, avoidance — and hope33:42 – Husbands, wives, children, parents, leaders — all worship34:36 – The Spirit who fills you at church can fill your home35:02 – God can heal marriages and restore families35:29 – Response moment: invitation to be Spirit-filled36:14 – Prayer for homes and families36:50 – Corporate closing prayer37:49 – Venture sign-up reminders + Winter Camp38:26 – Subscribe + learn more about Venture Church

Send us a textObserving  Mind - a practiceAwareness- Your pure natureThe mind is mobile, and flowing like a river or stream the river flows. We do not attempt to stop the flow of the water, nor can we stop the trajectory of the Mind.  Thoughts are like leaves shedding, or clouds drifting, or winds whistling. They come and go. Leaves change and renew, clouds pass, wind goes in different directions. Mind, by its own nature, fluctuates from theme to theme, it has no challenges or concerns. Our relationship with it creates the problem. We fight with the clouds, chase the winds, try to collect the leaves. By simply observing leaves, clouds, wind - not identifying with them- but observing them instead, we become the witness of the mind rather than interacting with it. We cannot stop the mind. But we can  stop identifying with it.When we think we are the mind, that we must interact and manipulate it, we must control our thoughts then we fail to recognize that we are the entire sky of awareness- the vast unchanging backdrop of creation. Awareness has no modification or change. It simply observes and informs. The misunderstanding of how the mind works is humanity greatest obstacle to living a life of non-separation. The Mandukya Upanishad explains mind functions through the four states of consciousness (waking, dreaming, deep sleep, and Turiya, the transcendent state.) This Upanishad explores the mind's role in projecting a perceived reality (duality, multiplicity) and finally its ultimate transcendence as in the state of deep stillness. The stillness anchored in awareness that leads to freedom, ultimately demonstrating that the perceivable mind and conceivable world rise  together and dissolve together: the illusory state we call mithya. The mind, distracted by desires, sees diversity; when desire is stilled  non-separation, non-duality is realized.  The mind's perception and what is being perceived in the world are interdependent. Like the whirling of fire creates various shapes, the Self appears in multiplicity due to the mind's projections. When the mind stops projecting, seer and what is seen dissolve into the non-dual Self - the Self that is one with all things. The self we call Brahman,  that can be elaborated as the essence of pure self-awareness, tranquil, auspicious, non-dual……Listen In—-Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

Neurology requires some detective work at times, and identifying the patterns of symptoms associated with drug misuse can be a tricky mystery indeed. For this episode, we're receiving a masterclass from Dr. Robin Howard¹ on the wide variety of drugs that bring patients into hospital, as well as the mechanisms they act on. His paper "Neurological aspects of drug misuse" is the Editors' Choice for the October 2025 issue, and he joins PN podcast editor Dr. Amy Ross Russell in the studio. From the new dangers of synthetic psychoactives to the profound consequences of chronic use, the discussion unveils critical clinical presentations every neurologist should recognize. We delve into fascinating phenomena including "punding," compulsive repetitive behaviors seen with stimulant abuse, and the rare but striking CHANTER syndrome, with its signs of disturbed consciousness and extensive cerebellar involvement. Hear too about the distinctive spongiform leukoencephalopathy associated with "chasing the dragon," a dangerous method of heroin inhalation, but which can also be caused by cocaine usage.   Read the paper: https://pn.bmj.com/content/25/5/411   (1) Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK   Please subscribe to the Practical Neurology podcast on your favourite platform to get the latest podcast every month.

COSTLY MISTAKES THE REALITY OF CREDIT MISUSE FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Credit cards are convenient, but without careful management, they can become a financial trap. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge discuss how misusing credit cards impacts long-term financial health—and share strategies for avoiding costly mistakes. Full Description Credit cards offer convenience, rewards, and short-term flexibility. Yet for many, they also become a source of debt and financial stress. High interest rates, overspending, and missed payments can quickly add up, making it harder to save, invest, or plan for retirement. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr., and Tyler Kluge discuss the hidden risks of mismanaging credit cards. They explain how carrying balances month after month erodes wealth and why relying on credit for everyday expenses creates long-term challenges. The conversation also covers the impact of late payments on credit scores and how that can affect borrowing costs in the future. Listeners will learn practical strategies for using credit responsibly. Sandy and Tyler share insights on how to avoid common traps, such as making only minimum payments or applying for too many cards at once. They also highlight the importance of budgeting, paying balances in full, and using rewards programs wisely. The key message is that credit cards are not inherently bad—they simply require discipline. With thoughtful use, they can provide flexibility and even benefits. Without discipline, they can derail savings goals and put your financial security at risk. At BWFA, we help clients make informed decisions about debt, savings, and long-term planning. This episode offers actionable advice to help you avoid the pitfalls of mismanaging credit cards and build a stronger financial foundation.

As interest in generative technology has grown, so too have concerns over using AI to prepare legal documents. Nevada County District Attorney Jesse Wilson made national news for his office's misuse of generative artificial intelligence. KVMR News looks at two investigative reports from the Sacramento Bee and the New York Times outlining the allegations. The newly appointed Nevada County Clerk Recorder/ Registrar of Voters, Armando Salud-Ambriz, is hosting a series of informal meet and greets at various locations across the county in December. Armando says this is a chance for Nevada County residents to get to know him and ask questions about elections, voter registration, and the many services the office provides.

The Temptation to Misuse the Church is Very Real: Jesus declares that His house must be a house of prayer, not a den of thieves. Today, we confront misuse of the Church's mission and reflect on staying faithful to prayer, truth, and the defense of life. This Scripture challenges us to remain rooted in the Gospel in a time of confusion and compromise.

LEVITICUS 5 — THE LAW OF ASHAM (TRESPASS)“Accountability, Restoration, and the Fear of Yahuah”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyToday's class dives into Leviticus 5 — The Law of Asham (Trespass), where Yahuah reveals how hidden guilt, broken oaths, and neglected responsibility fracture covenant order.This is not ritual.This is Yahuah's justice system.Leviticus 5 exposes the five forms of trespass that demand confession and restitution:1. Withholding truth (Lev 5:1)2. Touching death unknowingly (Lev 5:2–3)3. Rash or impulsive oaths (Lev 5:4–5)4. Misusing what is qodesh (Lev 5:15–16)5. Sin done in ignorance (Lev 5:17–19)Each connects directly to Exodus 21–23, the backbone of Yahuah's justice architecture:Life is sacredProperty is protectedTestimony is bindingOaths are covenantalRestitution is requiredNegligence equals guiltThe vulnerable must be defendedLeviticus 5 is the continuation of covenant justice — not a separate ritual.

Guiding Question: What are the hidden dangers that sabotage a man's adventure—and are you letting any of them define you? Key Takeaways: Beware the “Adventure Busters”: Robert Lewis introduces the concept of “Adventure Busters”—internal and external forces that derail a man's pursuit of a meaningful life. These include secret sins, unresolved wounds, or culturally normalized behaviors that quietly erode a man's soul and impact. The Double Life: One of the most common and destructive adventure busters. Many men compartmentalize their lives, presenting a polished exterior while hiding secret struggles. This leads to fragmentation, isolation, and eventual collapse. Living two lives is exhausting. It robs men of authenticity, joy, and real intimacy. The only solution is courageous honesty—first with God, then with safe others. Sexual Shortcuts: Robert Lewis directly confronts the destructive influence of pornography and casual sexual behavior. These “shortcuts” promise intimacy and excitement, but deliver shame and disconnection. Pornography is not just a private issue—it affects how men see women, relationships, and themselves. Sexual purity is not about repression but restoration—recovering God's good design for sex. God's Design for Sex: It is good, powerful, and purposeful. Meant to be expressed in covenantal love—marriage. Misuse leads to wounds, while rightly ordered sex brings deep joy and unity. Shame Is a Lie: Lewis makes clear: the goal is not to heap guilt, but to extend grace and freedom. Every man has struggles. What matters is whether you stay stuck in silence or step forward into healing. Five Practical Tools for Restoration: Personal honesty – Acknowledge the problem without rationalizing it. Accountability – Regular check-ins with trustworthy men. Boundaries – Proactively avoid triggers and access points. Spiritual renewal – Prayer, Scripture, and surrender. Vision – See purity not as avoidance but as a greater “yes” to joy and impact. Setting Up for Part 2: This is part one of a two-part teaching. Lewis hints that next week will cover more adventure busters—wounds, lies, and unresolved issues from a man's past that continue to shape his present. Key Scripture References: Ephesians 5:11–14 – Exposing deeds of darkness and walking in light. Matthew 5:8 – “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” Proverbs 4:23 – Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. 1 Thessalonians 4:3–5 – God's will: sanctification and sexual purity. James 5:16 – Confess your sins to one another and be healed. Romans 12:1–2 – Present your bodies as a living sacrifice; be transformed by renewing your mind.

Can we use AI to enhance human connection rather than replace it? In this Part 2 of our AI series episodes, Shekeese and I explore how humanist technology, rooted in ethics, education, and responsible use, can transform our relationship with AI. From the dangers of “AI slop” to the potential for real, inquiry-based interaction, we highlight why teaching students to treat AI like a tool, not a replacement, is crucial. We dig into tech company accountability, regulation, social media's societal role, and even the environmental toll of data centers. This isn't a tech utopia, it's a call for wiser integration, grounded in understanding, purpose, and human values.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:02) - Navigating Humanist Technology and AI(0:04:53) - AI Technology Education and Misuse(0:11:53) - Tech Education and Government Regulation(0:16:25) - The Impact of Social Media Regulation(0:23:12) - Regulating Technology and Online Behavior(0:32:58) - Tech Founders Impact Regulation(0:41:05) - Navigating Internet Regulation Debate(0:53:08) - The Impact of Data Centers(0:59:29) - Tech Regulation and Future Development(1:14:10) - Promoting a Warrior MindsetSend us a text

Wrestling with Shakespeare, Faith, and the Limits of Technology   Host Curtis Chang and Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson—Fletcher Jones Chair of Great Books at Pepperdine University—explore The Tempest by William Shakespeare and its timeless wisdom for our technology-driven world. Through Prospero's struggle with power, control, and love, they draw parallels between Shakespeare's "magic" and our modern dependence on digital tools. Wilson explains how the play invites us to surrender our illusions of control, embrace humility, and rediscover relationships grounded in grace. Curtis and Jessica's discussion touches on C.S. Lewis, Andy Crouch, and the spiritual discipline of wrestling with hard texts and ideas in an age of easy answers from ChatGPT.   (02:30) - Dependence Upon Technology as Magic (05:40) - What Do We Forget in Our Obsessions?

Ever said "you just need the right mindset" without knowing what that actually means? You're not alone. Most people use mindset like a magic word—vague, fluffy, and completely useless. This episode breaks down what mindset really is through psychology, not wellness guru nonsense. You'll learn the difference between growth mindset (seeing failure as learning) and fixed mindset (believing ability is static), why abundance mindset beats scarcity thinking, and how open-mindedness isn't about accepting everything. The fisherman story reveals how we all fake understanding of concepts we never properly learned.

When President Trump deployed the military to Los Angeles in June, former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano called it an “abuse of presidential power.” Napolitano, who is also the former governor of Arizona, told MSNBC that to federalize the national guard over California Governor Gavin Newsom's objections was “simply outrageous.”  During Napolitano's time at DHS, she beefed up border security and increased deportations while also spearheading the creation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative. Now director of the new Institute for Security and Governance at UC Berkeley, Napolitano joins Commonwealth Club World Affairs to talk about the current administration's border crackdown, criticism of ICE tactics, and what it all means for immigration policy, civil liberties and the economy.  We'll also hear from Napolitano, the former president of the University of California, about Trump's efforts to reshape higher education.

The media loves to paint political violence as “right-wing,” but the truth is far more complex. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano dismantles the lazy labels used by academics and pundits to smear conservatives and Republicans. He explains why Nazism and white supremacy are statist, collectivist ideologies that have nothing in common with conservatism or Republicanism, exposes how the left inflates political violence statistics to claim the moral high ground, and reveals where the real radicalism is going mainstream, socialism and Marxist thought within the Democratic Party. Episode Highlights The truth about “right-wing violence” and how academics and media distort the numbers. Why Nazism and white supremacy are statist, authoritarian ideologies—not conservative or Republican. How socialism and Marxist ideas have gone mainstream in today's Democratic Party while conservatives reject extremism.

In her sermon Don't Misuse God's name by Pastor Kaily Morrow teaches that you radically love God by not misusing His Name. We addressed the principality of profanity in the city of Austin! Where people treat God's name without respect and with irreverence. While the enemy recognizes the power of God's name but people in today's culture doesn't. Jewish people have a fear of misusing God's name because they know if you misuse his name it would be dishonoring to His very being, His Presence and His Glory.

In this insightful episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, host Heather Creekmore welcomes bestselling author, speaker, and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle to discuss her new book, Body and Soul, and the powerful concept of "whole body theology." Together, they delve into the intersection of faith and body image, explore what it means to have a biblical foundation for how we view our bodies, and confront the complicated journey many Christians face with body image and self-worth. Key Points & Takeaways: Whole Body Theology Defined:Lisa shares her journey into developing a “whole body theology” — a comprehensive, biblical belief system that addresses our entire personhood (body, soul, and spirit). This theology is designed to give believers a scriptural foundation for making body-related decisions, rather than relying solely on diet culture or secular self-esteem movements. The Need for a Biblical Approach:Both Heather and Lisa highlight the shortcomings of how the Church often compartmentalizes spiritual and physical health, or accidentally echoes secular body positivity without offering a theological alternative. Lisa asserts that lasting body image peace is grounded in spiritual transformation and discipleship, not just new diets or positive mantras. Personal Body Image Stories:Lisa vulnerably recounts her own "complicated" story with body image, including familial pressures, diet culture, and early struggles with eating disorders. She reveals how the truth of Scripture and God’s view of her body brought genuine freedom, something diets and cultural messages never provided. Discipleship Around Body Image:The conversation stresses the Church’s responsibility to disciple believers in whole body theology, integrating faith and embodied life. Lisa advocates for developing a framework where everyday choices with food, movement, rest, and even work are filtered through the lens of glorifying God. Misuse of Scripture in Body Image:Common verses like “your body is a temple” or “fearfully and wonderfully made” are often misapplied, leading to shame, diet obsession, or misunderstanding. True whole body theology digs deeper into Scripture for a holistic, grace-filled perspective rather than cherry-picking verses to fit societal standards. Rejecting Judgement & Assumptions:Both speakers caution against judging others' bodies from the outside or assuming someone's spiritual health by body size. Such partiality is unbiblical and harmful, and they call for more compassion and understanding within the Church community. Dangers of Diet and Body Positivity Culture:Lisa and Heather warn against simply swinging from diet culture to secular body positivity without a biblical root. They challenge listeners not to accept cultural solutions but to pursue God’s truth for genuine freedom and transformation. About Lisa’s Bible Study (Body and Soul):Lisa explains how her new six-week Bible study walks individuals or groups through the process of building a whole body theology. With videos, scripture dives, reflection questions, and practical steps, participants learn to draw their body beliefs from Scripture—not from culture. Practical Encouragements: Lasting body image freedom comes from aligning your beliefs about your body with God’s Word, not with fleeting diets or positive slogans. True discipleship includes how we steward, honor, and view our physical selves as integral to spiritual life. It’s time for the Church and its people to lead—not follow—in honest, compassionate, gospel-oriented conversations about body image.

Tom and co-host Drew tackle some of the most pressing issues shaping our world right now—from trade deals and tech breakthroughs to the complexities of American politics and evolving cultural narratives. The conversation kicks off with reactions to a major US-EU trade agreement and what it means for America's place in the global economy. Tom and Drew dive into the ongoing gridlock in Congress, sparked by passionate remarks from Cory Booker, and discuss whether polarization is crippling the nation—or protecting it from “doing anything really crazy.” They draw surprising parallels between the American political landscape and other countries, especially China. Next, the team explores a viral ad campaign starring Sydney Sweeney, unpacking the culture war currently raging over beauty standards, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves as a society. Tom makes the case for the power of uplifting narratives—both for individuals and entire nations—while warning of the risks when those narratives turn toxic.
