This episode was SO fun. Vanessa Lavorato has been dubbed The Martha Stewart Of Weed and if you listen to this episode it is obvious why. She is an absolute cannabis expert, chocolatier, and author of the most fun cookbook to teach us all how to cook with cannabis in a modern, delicious, and responsible way. Vanessa shares her personal journey with cannabis, from an early curiosity to building a career around edibles that are as joyful and delicious as they are approachable. We talk about everything from how to find your perfect dose to her most memorable edible mishaps. She breaks down the difference between eating weed vs smoking weed vs drinking weed, her favorite beginner friendly low-dose recipes (think meatballs and cereal milk milkshakes), and what it really takes to have the best time with cannabis without going overboard. We get into the bigger picture of how the stigma is changing and of course, she answers some rapid fire questions about her Bong Appetit days, favorite snacks, and the edible mistakes she'll never make again.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, “September 16th, 2025,” host Hunter invites us to gather around the Scriptures and discover what God is saying to us on day 260 of our journey. We'll explore detailed visions of the temple in Ezekiel 40 and 41, the blessings of Psalm 128, and the promise of a new heaven and new earth in Revelation 21. Hunter walks us through these passages as our Bible reading coach, highlighting how the temple—once the epicenter of sacrifice and divine presence—is ultimately eclipsed by Jesus, the true source of life, light, and hope. Heather joins to share a personal reflection on change, using a story about Portland's migrating swifts as a reminder of God's enduring faithfulness amidst life's transitions. Together, we close with heartfelt prayers and encouragement to embrace the new seasons God brings. Settle in as we warm our hearts by the fires of God's love, and remember—no matter what changes, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The story of sacrifice is no more. That's what stands out in today's readings—a whole narrative built around altars, offerings, and a temple, with its Most Holy Place, fades away. In Ezekiel, we see exact measurements for the place where heaven and earth would meet, the space where God would, by design, invite broken humanity into his holy presence through sacrifice. The temple stood as the epicenter of Israel's worship and God's bridge to his people. Every room, every altar, every detail pointed forward, always and only ever pointing us to him—the Lamb. But in Revelation, John sees something altogether new. The story changes. There is no more temple, because there is no more need for it: “I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.” Even the sun and the moon, those keepers of time, are no more. All that once gave structure and symbol to history has been eclipsed. Darkness, suffering, and death are gone. The instruments of sacrifice have given way to the fullness of what they pointed towards—Jesus himself. What remains? Life. The Lamb's Book of Life. Jesus, the Lamb, has brought history to its completion. All stories are now dissolved into his, and only he remains, shining brighter than the sun, illuminating the city, and infusing every moment with the glory of God. The story of God's unfailing love has reached its apex, and you have been woven into that story. Your name, written in his book, means you share his eternal life and light. So now, we are called to live in that light, to abide in him, to let his life become ours. All other stories fall away. The seasons change. The world shifts around us. But here is something that endures, unchanging: you are written into the very life of Christ. The Lamb is your temple. The Lamb is your life. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

It was an exciting time to be alive in Jerusalem back around AD 30-33. Not only did you have the chance to run into Jesus in the flesh during His ministry years, but you would have heard first-hand accounts of (or even bore witness to!) His victory over death. Imagine getting in on the ground floor of the Jesus movement! Those church fathers (and mothers) had a front row seat to the action. But what they began, we get to continue. In this week's episode, Pastor Chuck Schlie will help us experience the passion of the early church and learn from their example on how we can ignite the same fervor for the gospel today.If you'd like to dig deeper, check out these discussion questions.

Spirituality can be a powerful force for healing, but what happens when it becomes a mask for avoidance? In this conversation, our guest Ananta Ripa Ajmera explores the rising phenomenon of spiritual bypassing: using spiritual language to escape responsibility, dismiss effort as “divine timing,” or rationalize inaction as destiny.Ananta offers radical responsibility as the antidote: taking full ownership of our choices and recognizing that karma shapes every dimension of life. Drawing on Ayurveda and her own wisdom, she explains how true healing requires more than herbs and therapies; it demands selfless service, emotional honesty, and courage to face our inner wounds.Episode HighlightsSpiritual Bypassing and InactivityReal Meaning of Navratri Karma, Forgiveness, and ServiceBhagavat Gita and Krishna's LessonsThe Path of Radical ResponsibilityTimestamps00:00 – 09:45: Introduction and Spiritual Bypassing09:45 – 22:12: The Goddess Journey Through Chakras22:12 – 24:41: New Beginnings, Forgiveness, and Service24:42 – 31:44: The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita31:45 – 36:52: Friendship with the Self and the Power of Truth36:53 – 42:23: Conflict as Medicine and the Practice of Sthitaprajna42:23 – 51:57: The Path of Radical Responsibility51:57 – 01:01:12: The Essence of Spiritual HealingAbout Ananta Ripa Ajmera A spiritual teacher and 10-time award-winning, 2-time bestselling author of The Way of the Goddess and The Ayurveda Way.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Hart Hagerty, founder of HART Jewelry, to dive into her journey of creativity, travel, and building a brand that truly reflects who she is. We talk about growing up in creative households and how that shaped both of us as parents now. Hart shares her early adventures traveling throughout Asia, the spark that led her to launch HART Jewelry back in 2016, and how the brand has evolved into a customizable, high quality, and soul-boosting line that lets people create pieces unique to them. We get into the behind the scenes of jewelry - what "gold-plated" really means, whether "waterproof jewelry" exists, and what to look for if you want pieces that last. We also explore the joy of retail done differently, from the fun in-store experience of building your own pieces, to the bigger lesson of letting your business grow alongside your own evolving interests. This is a conversation about creativity, craftsmanship, and following what fascinates you - in life, in work, and in style.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Quietmind Astrology — Learn Vedic Astrology with Jeremy Devens
We're in eclipse season again—and it's a powerful one. September 2025 brings two eclipses: the Lunar Eclipse in Purva Bhadrapada, Aquarius (Sept 7) and the Solar Eclipse in Purva Phalguni, Leo (Sept 21). These eclipses don't arrive in isolation; they echo the powerful shifts we experienced back in March 2025, which was one of the most transformational months of the year with Saturn's transit, Jupiter's shifts, and the last eclipse season.Back in March, the Lunar Eclipse in Uttara Phalguni, Leo had us confront unhealthy dynamics in relationships and power struggles, asking us to lead with authenticity instead of ego. This wasn't just about your relationships with others—it mirrored your deeper relationship with self and with Source. As one of my teachers would say: “There's only ever one relationship: between you and God (or higher power, spirit, Source—whatever word resonates with you).”Then came the Solar Eclipse in Uttara Bhadrapada, Pisces, dissolving what was no longer sustainable. It cleared illusions and invited surrender—Ishvara Pranidhana, one of the niyamas in yoga philosophy: surrendering to a higher power. That March eclipse season was about endings—letting go of control, dissolving old identities, facing grief, and walking forward with trust in a bigger picture.Now in September, we step into the continuation of that story. The endings of March are ripening into fresh beginnings in love, creativity, relationships, and community. The Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius asks you to release outdated group roles, social conditioning, and beliefs that don't fit anymore. It's about honoring individuality while still contributing meaningfully to the collective.The Solar Eclipse in Leo then resets identity and self-expression. Will you cling to appearances and drama, or step into authentic leadership, creativity, and joy? Together these eclipses mark a karmic turning point—clearing space in relationships, communities, and creative pursuits so you can live from deeper authenticity.5 Key Ideas from this episode– “That eclipse season in March opened a doorway of endings and realignments that are still echoing in this current season.”– “The Uttara Phalguni lunar eclipse in Leo forced us to confront unhealthy dynamics in relationships and power struggles asking us to lead from authenticity instead of ego.”– “The Uttara Bhadrapada solar eclipse in Pisces dissolved what was no longer sustainable, clearing away illusions and pushing us towards surrender and spiritual truth.”– “Now, as we move into September and the eclipses in Purva Phalguni and Aquarius, we revisit similar themes but at a new level.”– “Together these eclipses present a karmic turning point—clearing space so you can align with deeper joy, authentic leadership, and a vision that reflects your true self.”Get the free Eclipse Season Guide with all the dates, rising/moon sign insights, and journaling prompts: quietmindastrology.com/eclipseseptember2025—Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship Waitlist: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipYoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yogaKeywords: nakshatras, grahas, rashi, bhavas, jyotish, yoga, doshas, kundali, transits, retrograde, aspects, dasha system, remedies, mantras, shani, chani, chandra, mangala, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn

When our kids leave the nest, we're left with a house that feels quieter, emptier, and sometimes unbearably still. This transition can stir up grief, loss, and confusion about who we are without the daily role of being “mom” or “dad” at the center of our lives. In this episode, I'm talking about the very real experience of empty nest syndrome and how to navigate it with compassion and consciousness. No one prepares us for this season of life, but it can also be an opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, process our emotions, and step into a new chapter with purpose. In this episode, I cover: Why grief is a natural and necessary part of the empty nest transition How to process and metabolize your emotions instead of avoiding them The importance of letting go of control and trusting your kids' journeys Ways to validate yourself as a parent and give yourself grace How to begin exploring your “Act Two” and discover new purpose in this season of life Resources from this Episode: The Adult Chair book is NOW AVAILABLE!

This week, the Fishes open up about life's transitions and the new beginnings that come with them. From kids heading off to college and career pivots to the unexpected curveballs of midlife, the sisters share the highs, the heartaches, and the humor in starting fresh.They talk about what it means to let go of what was, embrace what's next, and how to find comfort (and even laughter) in the in-between. With their signature mix of candor and comedy, the Fishes remind us that change may be hard — but it also makes room for growth, resilience, and a little reinvention.

Transcript:He: בימי הסתיו, כשהעלים מחליפים את צבעם לגווני זהב וכתום, מתחילה פעילות מרגשת במעונות הקולג'.En: In the autumn days, when the leaves change their colors to shades of gold and orange, an exciting activity begins in the college dormitories.He: אווירת חג ראש השנה מתפרשת לכל עבר, מלאת תקווה להתחלה חדשה.En: The atmosphere of Rosh Hashanah spreads everywhere, full of hope for a new beginning.He: בין הסטודנטים, היה אפשר למצוא את אבנר, ליאורה ונדב.En: Among the students, you could find Avner, Liora, and Nadav.He: הם חולקים חדר במעונות, אבל לכל אחד יש את הגישה שלו לגבי החג המתקרב.En: They share a dorm room, yet each has their own approach to the upcoming holiday.He: אבנר תמיד היה תלמיד חרוץ.En: Avner was always a diligent student.He: הוא התמודד עם הלחץ של הלימודים, ונראה לפעמים שהוא שוכח את שורשיו התרבותיים.En: He dealt with the pressure of studies and sometimes seemed to forget his cultural roots.He: ליאורה, לעומתו, הייתה תמיד חמה ומזמינה, אוהבת מאוד את המסורות, תמיד מחפשת הזדמנות לחלוק את תרבותה עם אחרים.En: Liora, on the other hand, was always warm and welcoming, greatly loving the traditions and always seeking an opportunity to share her culture with others.He: נדב, החדר חבר, היה נינוח, פחות מתעניין בחגים ומתמקד בעיקר בהנאות של הרגע.En: Nadav, the roommate, was relaxed, less interested in the holidays, and focused mainly on the pleasures of the moment.He: החדר שלהם, כמו יתר המעונות, היה מלא בתלמידים הממהרים לסיים את המשימות לפני החג.En: Their room, like the other dorms, was full of students hurrying to finish their assignments before the holiday.He: ליד הדלת, ליאורה עסוקה בתליית קישוטים.En: Near the door, Liora was busy hanging decorations.He: "אבנר, אתה בא לחגוג איתנו בערב הקהילתי?En: "Avner, are you coming to celebrate with us at the community evening?"He: " היא שאלה בחיוך רחב.En: she asked with a broad smile.He: אבנר התלבט, יודע שכמות הלימודים עולה לפניו.En: Avner hesitated, knowing a load of studies lay before him.He: "אני לא יודע, יש לי המון עבודות להגיש," הוא השיב, מתחבט בליבו.En: "I don't know, I have a lot of assignments to submit," he replied, debating within his heart.He: נדב, יושב על המיטה, מפהק ואומר, "למה לך לדאוג כל כך לחג הזה?En: Nadav, sitting on the bed, yawned and said, "Why worry so much about this holiday?He: אנחנו בכל מקרה יושבים ונהנים.En: We're sitting and enjoying anyway."He: " אבנר הרגיש בילבול, בין הרצון להיות מחובר לשורשיו לבין הלחץ האקדמי.En: Avner felt confusion, torn between the desire to connect with his roots and the academic pressure.He: ליאורה פנתה אליו בחמלה, "אבנר, אני יודעת שהלימודים חשובים לך, אבל ראש השנה הוא זמן להתחדשות והתחלה חדשה.En: Liora turned to him with compassion, "Avner, I know studies are important to you, but Rosh Hashanah is a time for renewal and a new beginning.He: הוא יכול לתת לך כוח.En: It can give you strength."He: " לדברים שלה הייתה משמעות עמוקה עבור אבנר.En: Her words held deep meaning for Avner.He: אחרי מחשבות רבות, הוא החליט לפנות זמן

Audio is taken from the original live recording - https://youtu.be/cMGYm4g1zSMFor centuries, Christians have debated the question: is water baptism required for salvation? Some traditions hold it as essential, while others see it as an outward sign of an inward faith. This topic is consequential because it touches on the heart of the gospel, specifically, how a person is made right with God. Because of its importance, we must carefully seek understanding, not from tradition or denominational opinion, but from the Word of God itself.1 - Why do some churches and denominations teach that water baptism is required for salvation?2 - Which churches and denominations teach water baptism is required for salvation?3 - Does the Bible teach water baptism is required for salvation?Key Scriptures for today's teaching: 1 John 5:1-13Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be from the NLT, the New Living TranslationIf you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!
