What if taking responsibility did not mean carrying the weight of everything that goes wrong? In this episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff explains the important difference between blame and responsibility. Blame keeps your attention fixed on the past, while responsibility helps you identify what is within your control and choose your next best step. Through the story of an executive who was blaming himself for challenges at work and at home, Cindra shows how even self-blame can drain your energy and leave you feeling powerless. Real responsibility means owning your part without taking ownership of everything. In this episode, you'll learn: Why blame keeps you stuck in the past The difference between owning your part and blaming yourself How responsibility helps you reclaim your power Questions that can redirect your attention toward solutions How to identify your next best step when a situation feels overwhelming Power Phrase: "I release blame, I own my part, and I choose my next best step."

The rhythm of being an independent journalist who strives to cover a lot of ground sometimes is affected by alternate beats. The last two Saturdays have not been favorable to produce a new audio edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement so archive editions went out. But now it is time for the July 18, 2026 edition. I'm Sean Tubbs. This week's return to the usual studio means more ability to focus so there are stories from all six localities on the same topic. Then there are some two stories from the week before I am only just getting around to completing.This work is made possible by paid subscribers and the ratio is just below one in five at the moment. I'm grateful for those with means to support the time and research that goes into this public service.In this edition:* Fluvanna Supervisors are the first in the region to initiate a process for a ballot question(read the story)* Louisa County Supervisors pull sales tax referendum resolution from agenda (read the story)* Greene Supervisors support sales tax referendum requested by Greene School Board (read the story)* Nelson Supervisors also vote to proceed with the referendum for school construction (read the story)* Albemarle County Supervisors vote to move forward and this story won't be printed until Monday so hear it here first!* Charlottesville City Council discusses the finer points of how to use revenue from a sales tax increase to finance school construction (read the story)* Albemarle Supervisors make brief announcements on Biscuit Run Trail, drought watch, and federal housing bill (read the story)* Albemarle and Charlottesville transportation planners identify next locations for further study (read the story)* Charlottesville City Council reviews process for funding nonprofit agencies (read the story)New here? Go ahead and sign if you want to learn more about what's happening in local and regional government around Charlottesville First sponsored message: Panorama Natural BurialAt Panorama Natural Burial, we believe caring for the deceased can be simple, meaningful, and deeply connected to the natural world. As a natural burial ground just outside Charlottesville, we offer families an alternative to traditional burial that honors both the people we love and the land that will carry them forward.Whether you are planning ahead, navigating a recent loss, or are just curious about natural burial, we welcome the conversation. We host regular tours and community events throughout the year. At Panorama we are building new ways of understanding death, land, ecology, ritual, memory, and community. We believe that building community around death care helps us all to live fuller lives. We are open to the public daily 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Come visit!Second message: An improvised bit about the state of shout-outs and the likeWill the words written here match what I say in the audio version? I don't know. I've not done the narration yet. In addition to paid subscriptions, I diversify revenue coming in through a lot of different forms of advertising, underwriting, sponsorship and so on. The Piedmont Environmental Council has been sponsoring the Week Ahead since the beginning, for instance.In the early days, some people opted for a $25 month tier or more on Patreon which got them a shout-out. Many of the shout-outs you see come from just that, though that's no longer being offered. Others came through combinations like having a paid Substack subscription and Patreon member. That worked for a while but I've simplified.Several have taken me up on an advertising package that offers placements at the top of the newsletter, in the two “shout-out” slots, and in visual ads on Information Charlottesville. I only send this out on request at this point because I'm at a point where I am trying to figure out things like inventory and scheduling and trying to ascertain audience. Are people really reading?In any case, yes, they are, and that makes me work harder to keep it going and that includes offering additional ways to support.* Charitable gifts can be made to the Tiny News Collective and those are being directed to hiring additional people to assist me in the near future.* Patreon still exists as a way to contribute to the business, but this may in the future become something more artistic if I get up the courage to try to make music for an audience. It will be weird all the same.* Share stories on social media! Add a comment and share your thoughts as you do! The whole point of this is to spread information and discussion.Thank you to all of the advertisers and sponsors and readers and more!An experimental to read only paid subscriptions I'm toying with the idea of making the epilogue something only paid subscribers can read. Or a portion of it each time. Perhaps “behind the scenes” stuff should be for those who have decided to take a stake in it by paying? I'm not sure. Substack only started offering this up this time. And I'm not sure if I have any real “bonus” content here except to say that sometimes the soundbites in the audio version have extra phrases in them. This is because I try to not run quotes run too long. I can also say I am so glad to finally get this edition done. Two weeks ago I had to turn in the WTJU version a day early and I didn't have time to record new stories. I also figured July 4 was a good day for an archive.The next week I was out of town and not in a place where it was easy to record audio. I'm grateful to be back in a place where all of my stuff is and where I can fix issues as they come up. Anyway, I'm grateful you're paying into this. I hope you'll keep doing so. If you do have concerns about the subscription or what to switch to a different form of support, drop me a line. Hooray! This edition is done! This post has a very small amount of bonus content for paid subscribers. Behind the scenes stuff. Upgrade to get full access and to support the work. This is a public episode.

What do you do when someone who hurt you never apologizes, never changes, or never acknowledges the pain they caused? For many of us, that's where forgiveness becomes most difficult. We know we're supposed to forgive, but we wrestle with questions like: Does forgiveness mean what they did was okay? Do I have to reconcile with someone who continues to hurt me? How do I let go when the wound still feels fresh? Is it possible to find peace if the relationship is never restored? In this final episode of our Relational Peace: Loving Others Without Losing Yourself series, Carol sits down with board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and fellow podcaster Dr. Michelle Bengtson to explore one of the most misunderstood topics in the Christian life: forgiveness. Together, they discuss how unforgiveness often keeps us emotionally tethered to our pain and why forgiveness is about reclaiming freedom not excusing someone's behavior. If you've been carrying bitterness, disappointment, resentment, or unresolved hurt, this conversation offers biblical wisdom, practical tools, and hope that peace is possible even when circumstances never change.

This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen unpack insecurities: where they come from, why everyone has them, and how they quietly shape our relationships, careers, and sense of self. They explore the connection between insecurity and hyper-independence, why asking for help can feel so uncomfortable, and how comparison culture can keep us stuck.They also answer listener questions about needing reassurance in relationships, feeling hurt when someone's energy changes, worrying people won't like the "real" you, and what to do when you realize past choices were driven by insecurity instead of authenticity. Along the way, they discuss attachment, vulnerability, self-compassion, and how healing begins by challenging the stories we've carried for years.The Still Face Experiment mentioned in today's episode: https://www.gottman.com/blog/research-still-face-experiment/Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

Graham Platner, a progressive candidate for US Senate in Maine, managed to defy an array of scandals as he rose to become the frontrunner to take on thirty-year incumbent Sen. Susan Collins. But last week, after a former romantic partner credibly accused him of rape, Platner suspended his campaign and withdrew his candidacy — leaving his supporters heartbroken and the Democratic Party scrambling to find a replacement candidate.Journalist Nathan Bernard joins Jared and Mike to break down the collapse of Platner's campaign and what comes next for Democrats who have been desperately trying to unseat Collins without success. Bernard was on the ground from day five of Platner's campaign. He walks through what Platner meant to Maine Democrats, why volunteers stuck around through earlier controversies, and how the mood darkened after a rape allegation ended his political aspirations.With Platner out, the question is whether an alternate candidate like Troy Jackson or Nirav Shah — or even Ms. Rachel — can consolidate support fast enough to make Collins "concerned" about her reelection.Links for Nathan:X (Twitter): @nathanTbernard / Bluesky: @nathantbernard.bsky.social /In Letter, Platner Volunteer Network Warns Dems: Nominee Must Back Same Agenda to Win Our Full Support (Drop Site, July 2026)Platner Volunteers Want to Move Forward with a New Candidate (Drop Site, July 2026)Voters Weigh In: From Waterville to Ogunquit, Mainers Are Standing By Graham Platner (Drop Site, Oct 2025)Transition Music: "Pale Horse (live in london)" by Truman Sinclair

Across the Atlantic, European nations have responded to the release of Jeffrey Epstein–related files with a comparatively aggressive and public reckoning over elite complicity. In the United Kingdom, Norway, Poland, and elsewhere, the fallout from the documents has triggered formal investigations, high-profile resignations, and political consequences for figures whose names surfaced in the records, even if their involvement was peripheral or social. British politicians and advisers have stepped down amid public scrutiny, and Norwegian elites connected to Epstein are under investigation, with some issuing apologies and cooperating with authorities. Poland's government has launched its own probe after identifying possible Polish victims in the documents — a sign that European governments are treating the revelations as a matter of serious legal and moral accountability rather than political spin control. This has unfolded amid significant media coverage and public pressure that frames Epstein's abuses and networks as a cross-border scandal requiring transparent and sober investigation — not just partisan talking points.In contrast, the United States' political and institutional response has been markedly more cautious, politicized, and slow, drawing sharp criticism from lawmakers, survivors, and commentators. Despite enacting the Epstein Files Transparency Act to force the release of millions of pages of investigative documents, the Justice Department missed legal deadlines, issued heavily redacted material, and has only gradually rolled out portions of the files, leading critics to accuse it of protecting powerful figures and delaying justice. Congressional hearings have been stymied by Maxwell's refusal to cooperate, with her attorney openly suggesting she might only testify in exchange for presidential clemency — a development that illustrates how accountability has been bogged down in political negotiation rather than pursued with urgency. Meanwhile, public opinion polls show overwhelming dissatisfaction with how the U.S. government has handled the disclosures and lingering suspicion that elites are being shielded. This contrast — Europe acting with visible political consequences and institutional scrutiny, and the U.S. dragging its feet amid partisan posturing and limited tangible accountability — underscores deep weaknesses in American mechanisms for confronting abuses tied to wealth and influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Analysis: New roadblocks slow US reckoning over Epstein as Europe races ahead | CNN PoliticsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Pearlside Church's College & Young Adults Director, Vien Laureta, imparts a powerful word in our Sunday Evening Service.

John 21:3-12 Simon Peter said, “I'm going fishing.” “We'll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn't see who he was. He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?” “No,” they replied. Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you'll get some!” So they did, and they couldn't haul in the net because there were so many fish in it. Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It's the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore. The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yards from shore. When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them—fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread.“Bring some of the fish you've just caught,” Jesus said. So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore. There were 153 large fish, and yet the net hadn't torn. “Now come and have some breakfast!” Jesus said. None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish. This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead.Go back to the START, in order to MOVE FORWARD.When you don't know what to do, go back to the last time you were WITH JESUS.Revelation 2:5 Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first.When you don't know what to do, BE OBEDIENT.Matthew 28:10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”1 John 5:3 For this is what love for God is: to keep his commands. And his commands are not a burden.My level of OBEDIENCE reveals my level of TRUST in Him.When you RETURN and OBEY,  DAYBREAK will always come.Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.Psalm 30:5 Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.Jesus often meets us not in the middle of the FIGHT, but at the DAWN of a new day.When Jesus is involved, SOME becomes ABUNDANT.Jesus cares for the WHOLE PERSON.He provides for their NEEDS = 153 large fishHe provides for their SOULS = breakfast at the beachHe provides for their SPIRITS = redemption and callingWhen we read the Bible searching for ANSWERS, we don't always find them, but we always find a FULL PICTURE of who GOD is.John 21: 15-17 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.”God REDEEMS your past, REWRITES your story, and REAFFIRMS your purpose.

Hour 1 of Baskin and Phelps

The world teaches us to rely on logic, fear, and self-preservation, but the Bible calls us to live with a Kingdom mindset. In a world filled with uncertainty and chaos, God invites us to exchange a carnal mind for a Spirit-led life marked by peace, purpose, and supernatural provision. “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” — Romans 8:6 In this message, we explore: 1. THE CARNAL MIND VS. THE SPIRITUAL MIND Discover the difference between living according to human reasoning and being led by the Holy Spirit. True spirituality begins when we surrender our minds to God. 2. FROM SCARCITY TO KINGDOM ABUNDANCE Through the widow's oil (2 Kings 4) and the healing at Bethesda (John 5), learn how God transforms limited resources into limitless possibilities when we respond in faith. 3. YOUR PAIN HAS A PURPOSE God never wastes your struggles. Every trial can become a testimony when surrendered to Him, bringing healing, growth, and hope. 4. KINGDOM THINKING CHANGES EVERYTHING Faith sees opportunity where fear sees lack. Stop living with an “someone else” mindset and begin walking in the authority and purpose God has given you. 5. WHAT YOU DON'T DEAL WITH TODAY MAY DEFEAT YOU TOMORROW Through the stories of Saul and the Amalekites, discover the importance of obedience, confronting compromise, and trusting God's wisdom over human logic. 6. POUR OUT. PICK UP. MOVE FORWARD. God calls us to use what is already in our hands. As we pour out in faith and generosity, He brings increase, breakthrough, and Kingdom impact. Receive today: -PEACE through a Spirit-led mind. -FREEDOM from fear, lack, and defeat. -FAITH to trust God's provision. -PURPOSE in every season of life. -KINGDOM VISION to live beyond circumstances. God has not called you to be ruled by fear, scarcity, or your own understanding. He has given you His Spirit so you can think differently, live differently, and experience the life and peace found in Christ. “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Colossians 3:2 #gebhardtberndt #empowerchurch #Faith #holyspirit #christianliving #kingdommindset #supernatural

Have you ever had a client who knows exactly what they need to do...but just can't seem to move forward? In this episode, we're exploring why so many people feel stuck and why talking about change isn't always enough. We'll dive into how horses help people move beyond overthinking, uncover what's really holding them back, and create powerful moments of awareness that lead to lasting change. You'll learn why horses respond only to what's authentic, how they provide honest, judgment-free feedback, and why that creates breakthroughs that traditional conversations often can't. If you've ever wondered why Equine Assisted Learning creates such meaningful transformation, this episode will help you understand why the horse truly is the teacher.

Welcome back to the Awakening Her Podcast! Today we're talking about a feeling that I believe almost all of us experience before stepping into a new chapter of our lives.

Mindset Matters: Sometimes You Need to Step Away to Move ForwardAfter a quiet month away from the microphone, I'm sharing a personal update from Portugal and what this season of slowing down has taught me about grief, restoration, and trusting ourselves one step at a time.Sometimes the bravest thing we can do isn't to keep pushing forward. It's to pause.In this episode I reflect on:Why I intentionally stepped away from the podcast for a few weeksA memorable horse-riding adventure through Portugal's beautiful Alentejo regionWhat solo travel continues to teach me about confidence and self-trustThe surprising gift of putting my phone away and simply noticing the world around meHow movement, presence, and small moments of courage can gently support healingGrief hasn't disappeared, but it is slowly changing. I'm discovering that joy and sadness can exist together, and that healing often happens in ordinary moments like sharing a meal, watching the sunset alone, cantering along a wide open beautiful beach, or simply sitting quietly with yourself.If you've been navigating loss, change, or a season of rebuilding, I hope this conversation reminds you that there is no perfect timeline. Sometimes stepping away isn't falling behind or letting go, it can be what allows us to return with a little more strength, clarity, and peace.Thank you for being here.

SummaryIn this episode, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen discuss why motivation is not the key to long-term success. Instead, they explain that building tolerance for discomfort and developing resilience are what help people stay consistent with their health goals.They break down how motivation naturally comes and goes, while real progress comes from continuing to show up even when you do not feel like it. The conversation covers common situations where people struggle, including workouts, food tracking, social events, cravings, and setbacks.Chase and Chris share practical examples of how small moments of discomfort build confidence and resilience over time. They also discuss why healthy habits often feel uncomfortable at first, how society has normalized unhealthy behaviors, and why successful people are simply better at bouncing back after mistakes.The episode wraps up with an important reminder that setbacks are part of the journey.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores reminiscing as more than nostalgia. After returning from a family reunion, she reflects on how shared stories can reconnect us with earlier versions of ourselves and remind us of the courage, humor, resilience, and connection that are still part of who we are. Key Points Reminiscing is not just remembering events; it is reconnecting with identity, meaning, and emotion.  Autobiographical memories help us understand our personal life story and the versions of ourselves we have been.  Family stories can preserve shared identity by reminding us what we value, what we survived, and how we belong to one another.  Healthy reminiscing can support behavior change by reminding us that our current emotional state is not the whole story.  Reminiscing is different from rumination. Rumination loops in shame or regret, while reminiscing helps us integrate the past with curiosity and compassion.  The past can be a courtroom or a library: rumination puts us on trial, but reminiscing helps us retrieve something useful. Science Mentioned The hippocampus helps organize memory and context.  The medial prefrontal cortex is involved in self-reflection and personal meaning.  The default mode network becomes active when we think about ourselves, our past, our future, and the stories that shape our lives.  Erik Erikson's stage of integrity versus despair describes the process of looking back over life and making meaning from both joys and losses. Think Thursday Invitation Take ten minutes to intentionally reminisce.  Look through old photos, listen to a meaningful song, ask a family member to tell a story, or think about a place you used to love.  Ask yourself:  What version of me was present in that memory?  What mattered to me then?  What does this memory remind me is still part of me?  What is one small way I could bring that version of myself into today? Closing ThoughtLooking back is not always about wanting to go backward. Sometimes reminiscing helps us gather pieces of ourselves we forgot we could bring forward. ★ Support this podcast ★

Hey, Heal Squad! Kelly Rizzo is back today, and her story about the night her late husband, comedian and Full House icon Bob Saget, passed away continues. If you've ever lost someone you love, or you're trying to support someone who has, this conversation can help understand grief, trauma, and transformation on a deeper level. Kelly shares what happened the night Bob passed away unexpectedly, the phone calls that followed, the moment she received the news, and the surreal reality of waking up the next day in a world that no longer looked the same. She opens up about the small details she still remembers, the severe sore throat she was battling that suddenly disappeared, and the overwhelming realization: "This is my life now."But this conversation isn't just about loss. It's about what happened to Kelly's world after. She talks about the incredible support she received from Bob's family, the Full House cast, and the comedy community, as well as the perspective that completely changed the way she views grief. Rather than focusing on what was taken from her, Kelly shares why she chooses to focus on what she was lucky enough to have. We also get into something so many people are afraid to talk about: what happens when life keeps moving. How do you walk into his closet when he's no longer there? And how do you give yourself permission to love again? Kelly opens up about dating after loss, her relationship with Breckin Meyer, and the realization that helped her make room for both grief and happiness in the same life.Whether you're grieving a spouse, a parent, a friend, or simply navigating a season of profound change, this episode is filled with wisdom, hope, and the reminder that you're not alone.  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Grief Changes You—But It Doesn't Have To Define You: Kelly shares that the hardest part wasn't just losing Bob—it was figuring out who she was afterward. Grief may become part of your story, but it doesn't have to become your entire identity. Focus On What Was Given, Not Just What Was Taken: One of the most powerful lessons Kelly learned after Bob's passing was that perspective matters. When we can shift our focus from what we lost to what we were lucky enough to have, healing becomes possible. Love Doesn't End When Someone Is Gone: Kelly's journey reminds us that moving forward doesn't mean leaving someone behind. Love can exist in memory, in gratitude, and even alongside new chapters we never thought we'd have the courage to begin.

Embrace the energy of the solstice cycle change to realign your spirit and steps. In this session, Robyn Benelli shares a Reiki Journey designed to help you pause, listen, gather, and update your intentions with inner honesty. Discover how whole-body listening and automatic writing activate your divine mind, heart mind, and gut mind to reveal your life-giving path forward. Key Insights The Power of the Grounded Pause: Taking a moment to step out of daily pressure creates a sacred space for your true wisdom to rise. Activating Reiki during a pause shifts you out of striving and opens you to receive love and guidance. Activating Your Multiple Minds: True alignment occurs when you listen on a deeper level across your whole self. Activating your divine mind, head mind, heart mind, gut mind, and earth mind synchronizes your intuition and intellect, allowing you to process life experiences with massive clarity. Information in Every Experience: Every aspect of your journey carries valuable data for your soul's evolution. Inspiration, resistance, delays, fatigue, and joy are all filled with information that helps you understand exactly what you need and what you are ready for right now. Updating Intention as Alignment: Your dreams naturally grow stronger when they include your current truth and respect your present capacity. Updating your intention releases old, mismatched pressures and delivers a life-giving, honest path forward that matches your timeline. People Also Ask, FAQ What is the Pause, Listen, Gather, and Move Forward Reiki method? It is a structured Reiki practice that can be done as a deep journey or quickly on the fly. By pausing to activate Reiki, listening with your whole body, gathering wisdom from your experiences, and updating your intentions, you can confidently choose an honest next step aligned with your current capacity. How do you use automatic writing during a Reiki journey? Automatic writing is a practice where you activate the Reiki flow and allow questions or guidance to stream through your pen without analytical filtering. It serves as a beautiful tool during the "listening" and "gathering" phases to capture the quiet, authentic truth of your energy and your guides. Why is updating an intention considered an act of alignment in Reiki? Because you are a completely different person now than you were at the beginning of a cycle. Updating your intention allows your goals to evolve alongside your personal growth, ensuring that your path remains grounded, honest, and perfectly matched to your current capacity and true timing.

Most of us spend enormous energy trying to get rid of fear. I know I did. I remember being coached in a training room years ago and telling my coach what I wanted more than anything was to stop feeling afraid. He looked at me and said: I can't do that. What you need is courage. At the time I was disappointed. Looking back, it was one of the most useful things anyone has ever said to me. In this episode, I share what fear actually is, not what we think it is. Fear isn't caused by the situation. It's the misuse of imagination. It's a story we're telling ourselves about what might happen, filtered through old experiences and beliefs about who we are. When you begin to see that, something shifts. You don't have to wait until the fear goes away to take the next step. You just need fifteen seconds of courage.

If you consider yourself to be an overthinker... this episode is for you.We're talking about irrational fears. And not ones like being afraid of clowns or flying, but the fears that don't seem irrational at all: the fear of making the wrong decision, being misunderstood, failing publicly, regretting your choices, or stepping into something unknown. The kind of fear that disguises itself as wisdom, discernment, and responsibility while quietly keeping us stuck.In this episode, we're unpacking the relationship between anxiety, overthinking, and the need for certainty. We'll explore why worst-case scenarios feel so convincing, how fear can shrink our lives without us realizing it, and what it looks like to move forward even when you don't have all the answers.The real goal isn't to become fearless. It's learning how to stop letting fear make every decision for you.If you've been waiting to feel completely sure before taking the next step, consider this your reminder: you don't need certainty to start living the life that's in front of you.FOLLOW US: @girlsirlpod@mariahhutchinson_Don't forget to leave a 5 star review!

Here we are, God's daughters, under attack. Every day the enemy attacks with the hopes of distracting us or distancing us from God. That's why we must put on the full armor God has offered us. He doesn't want his girls vulnerable to the devil, he wants us victorious. Last week we studied the first 3 pieces of our God given armor for the spiritual battle: The Belt of Truth The Breastplate of Righteousness The Shoes of Peace Now, it's time for us to pick up our shield. Ephesians 6:16, “In addition to all these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.” Okay girls, let's learn about this shield and about those fiery arrows coming our way. Roman soldiers had 2 kinds of shields. One was a small, handheld shield. This is not the shield Paul is talking about. Paul is talking about the other type of shield – the one almost as big as a door. This shield was called the scutum (pronounced sk-U-tum). This shield, the sputum was about 4 feet high and 2 feet wide, made of layers of laminated wood, then covered with leather and bound with iron. The shield was big enough for a soldier to crouch behind and be completely protected. You've likely seen the movies where soldiers are carrying these large rectangular shields and when the enemy forces shoot their arrows, the soldiers stand together in formation with their door like shields held tightly ,forming a barrier all around them, in front of them and above them. That's the precise image of our faith as a shield. We are protected, but not only protected, we are enabled to move forward even while under attack. In this formation with their shields fully protecting them on all sides, the army wouldn't just crouch and endure the attack, they would MOVE FORWARD. Forward towards the objective. Forward towards the goal. Forward towards their mission. Forward, even while the enemy attacked. This is the power of our shield of faith. Now, what bout those arrows? Paul says the devil shoots “fiery arrows” at us. Soldiers in these days would often dip their arrows into a flammable liquid, then light them on fire before launching them at their enemy like a missile. AND THAT IS SATAN'S STRATEGY AGAINST US. Fiery, blazing arrows. His objective is to destroy you and he'll use every single thing at his disposal to do so. Don't be so naive to think he won't come after you. Scripture says he's “like a roaring lion”, and honey, lions don't care if you're cute, they don't care if you're happy, they don't care if you're rich, they don't care if you've got a whole family depending on you … lions want to kill you. Period. You have been under attack. No doubt, it's been happening. Even just this past week, fiery arrows were flying at you. Let me help you identify them: Arrow 1: Tempt you to sin Arrow 2: Get you to ignore the things that would help you Arrow 3: Make you miserable Arrow 4: Make you doubt Arrow 5: Make you settle Remember when you just ignored praying about it? Yip – that was an arrow. Remember when you didn't make time to open your Bible? Yip – that was an arrow. Remember when you thought it wasn't a big deal and you could hide it? Yip – that was an arrow. Remember when you felt so tired, so defeated and so discouraged that you just sat there? Yip – that was an arrow. Remember when you checked the box but didn't really give it your best? Yip – that was an arrow. Remember when you knew you should, but you didn't – Yip that was an arrow. Remember when you felt guilt and shame over it – Yip that was an arrow. Not to mention all the things you've been dealing with that make you scared, make you hurt, and make you question – All arrows. Now do you see the attacks you are continually facing? This is your every day reality. Girl, you are always under attack. That's why you need this shield of faith. To put it quite simply, the way you defend yourself from Satan's attacks is on a very practical level TRUST WHAT'S TRUE ABOUT GOD. Faith isn't just hearing about God – Faith isn't even just knowing about God – Faith is actively positioning God's promises between your vulnerability and the enemy's fiery assaults. The devil is going to shoot his fiery arrows to tempt you, distract you, discourage you, detour you and defeat you, but that big ol' shield of faith in God's promises is what you actively pick up and hold up to protect you. I know my God. I know his ways. I feel his presence. I receive his strength. I believe his promises. I trust my God. My sister, that is your defense! Faith is what will protect you when the fiery arrows are coming at you. Faith is what will help you advance even when you're under attack. Faith is not optional for this battle, it is essential! So really, what is faith? What a really hard thing to describe. If we're not careful, faith becomes nothing more than hoping or wishing. You know when you apply for a job and you'r pretty sure you're not going to get it because you're not even remotely qualified for it and someone says, “Well, you've got to have faith.” No, that's not faith. That's not what our Bible is talking about. That kind of faith is not a defense. When you're under attack, just wishing that something is true will never give you the defense you need. Let's give faith a real definition. I read about a missionary named John Paton – someone you've likely never heard of before. He was a Scottish missionary who went to the islands of the South Pacific in the 1800's to tell these remote people about Jesus for the first time. He wasn't welcome there. His wife and child died. Yet, he continued. He learned their language, then he set out to translate the entire Bible into their language so they could know about Jesus. While translating scripture, he got to Ephesians chapter 6 and he was stuck on verse 16, “Hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.” Their language had no word for faith. Faith was non-existent in their world, without even a word for it. As John sat in his island hut, stuck on translating this word “faith”, a local man came running and and flopped himself in a chair. He said to John, “It's just so good to rest my whole weight in this chair.” And that's when John knew – that's what faith is. This is how he could explain faith to the islanders. Faith is resting your whole weight on God. With that translation, the islanders understood faith and they came to put their whole weight on God through Jesus. Faith is putting your whole weight on God. If God said it, then it's true, and I believe it. That is faith. Faith is believing what Jesus has done for us, believing what God says about us, and living it out because it's THE truth. That's a shield of faith. Protected from the attacks of the enemy and able to advance! Through the Bible, we know: • God has chosen us. Before this world even began, he predestined that we would be his girls. He chose us first, gave us the family name, and bestowed upon us all the privileges of being his daughters. • God has blessed us. In everything that God has done for us, his intention is to bless us and give us what we don't deserve. • God has sealed us. He put his mark on us saying we belong to him and we're protected by him. • God has promised us an inheritance. We are in line to inherit the kingdom of God and eternal life. Through Jesus, it's our guaranteed destiny. Girl, that's where you're heading and today you're one day closer! God has held absolutely nothing back from you. He's given his all, he's given his best. He's actively taking everything in your life and making it work together for eternally good purposes. And when you put your whole weight on that, you will be able to survive the attacks of the evil one. Not only survive, but advance! When the fiery arrows come flying at you, and they always do – When you're tempted to doubt, leaning towards fear, hurting and questioning, avoiding the very things that will help you most, wandering down paths not meant for you and knocking on the wrong doors – STOP AND REMEMBER WHAT YOU KNOW OF GOD. Remember his promises for you. Remember what he's already done for you through Jesus. But don't just think about those things, LIFT THEM UP. Lift up that shield of faith by actually leaning into what you KNOW IS TRUE ABOUT GOD. Put your full weight on him. You know what you need to do in that moment of wandering, wallowing, wondering and wavering … you need to have a good talk with yourself. Listen here, self, stop this depressed, unhappy nonsense. Stop this wavering. Stop this delaying. Stop wallowing. You stop it now. Stop letting this steal your praise. Stop letting this distance you from Jesus. Stop it. Put your full weight on God. Remember his promises. Lean on them now! It's not going to be easy, but we all need to do this. We need each other to do it for us. Preach to yourself. Remind yourself of God. Arrange your life so that you're in the path of grace as much as possible — reading Scripture daily, praying, surrounding yourself with the right people. Know where you're vulnerable. Look to God, who will grant you the strength that you need. Then put your whole weight in what we know to be true about God. Remember the Roman shield formation? It's one thing to be a single soldier with a shield. Something much better happens when we come together with faith. As we create a shield-wall of faith, we'll be able to advance even when we're under attack. That's why you and I are connected. That's why God has given us an Army of sisters here. We fully put our weight on God in this together and we move forward even while under attack. Where are you being attacked? What fiery arrows are coming your way? What truths about God can you lean into today? Take up your shield of faith!

Welcome back! I want to ask - what if life is already showing you the answers you're looking for? In this episode, we're exploring what it means to become a good student of life — someone who learns not only through insight, inspiration, and intuition, but through participation. Because life is constantly communicating with us. Through opportunities. Through resistance. Through recurring patterns. Through nudges we can't seem to ignore. Through doors opening and doors closing. The question isn't always, "How do I get more clarity?". Sometimes the question is: "Am I paying attention to the clarity that's already here?" In this conversation, we explore the relationship between inspiration and action, why awareness alone doesn't create change, and how real transformation happens when we begin living what we've learned. Reflection Questions What has life been showing me lately? What idea keeps returning? What has my intuition been saying? What am I being nudged toward? What opportunities have presented themselves? What feels next for me? Where am I experiencing resistance? What doors are opening? What doors are closing? What lesson keeps showing up? And perhaps most importantly: What do I already know that I haven't acted on yet? Because sometimes the next step isn't hidden. Sometimes it's waiting for us to trust it.   Mentioned in This Episode...

Ryan shares practical frameworks for finding purpose after you've achieved your goals, developing conviction without coercion, stepping into leadership at home, and letting go of past mistakes through accountability and changed behavior. He also offers candid advice on creating deeper connections with other men and why meaningful struggles are essential for growth and fulfillment.  SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:12 - Introduction and Iron Council Preview Call 01:20 - Staying Sharp After Success and Comfort 07:09 - Passing Faith to a Teenage Son Without Control 12:32 - The Midlife Emptiness Many Men Experience 15:28 - Overcoming Conflict Avoidance and People-Pleasing 30:50 - Leading Your Family Without a Power Grab 44:18 - How to Deal with Real Regret and Move Forward 55:32 - Why Men Struggle to Build Deep Friendships 01:05:30 - Where to Find Strong Male Relationships 01:06:55 - Final Thoughts and Closing Remarks   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!
