Audio taken from the live teaching "Why Has the World Turned Against Israel?

Audio taken from the live teaching "What Did Jesus Write in the Dust? The Sentence in the Sand that Emptied Every Hand" - https://youtu.be/_GyKIzVfVz4In our time together today I am going to open the Bible and show you the only three times in all of human history where God has written with His own finger! Once He carved His holy Law into stone at Sinai. Once He wrote a death sentence on a king's palace wall. And once He knelt in the temple dust near a woman caught in the act of adultery that a religious crowd wanted to stone.That same finger is still writing! The question is not whether He is writing over your life, it is what He is writing?Key Scriptures used in today's teaching: John 8:1-11Other Scriptures referenced in this teaching: Exodus 31:18; Deuteronomy 9:10; Romans 3:20; Daniel 5:23-31; Jeremiah 17:13 (NIV)Unless stated otherwise, most Scripture is read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.Ways to give:https://www.lostlamb.org/give

Do Not Pss Me   Matthew  Chapter 14

Hello darling people I adore! How are we? I have a chill evening solo for you with a lot of thoughts. I've made some big decisions for myself. I'm making my world smaller and my dreams bigger and it feels good. I feel ready. I dive deeper into my decision to try to carry our baby myself, why I finally feel ready to move forward with our two remaining embryos, and how I'm trying to prepare myself without letting fear or pressure take over. I also get into where I'm at with social media and my career, and why creating content just for the sake of creating content doesn't feel fulfilling to me anymore. I'm trying to figure out what I actually want to wake up and do, not what I think I'm supposed to be doing. And I think I finally have an answer: I want to open a store!!! I share where this dream comes from, how connected it feels to my mom and my childhood, and why creating a space for fashion, connection, and community feels so exciting to me right now. Lots of life updates, some tears, some rambling, and a lot of figuring things out in real time. Love you all! This epIsode is brought to you by Monarch. Write your own money story with Monarch.

What do we do when it's time to let go of what was?In today's episode, Lauren Burgos guides us through the process of releasing the past and embracing the new things God is doing in our lives, drawing insight from Isaiah 43:18-19. We'll reflect together on what it means to notice God's work in small moments, find courage to release familiar routines, and welcome change as growth rather than loss.Join our community in prayer and devotion as we seek strength to trust God with every season, learning to let go and move forward together.Tap HERE to send us a text!

The Power Of  Love Part 4  John Chaptr 13

Why is change, no matter how positive, so hard to embrace?In today's episode, Lauren Burgos invites us to explore the mixed emotions that come with changing seasons, drawing wisdom from Ecclesiastes 3:1-4. Together, we'll reflect on how even joyful transitions like marriage or new beginnings can bring unexpected grief, guilt, and growth. We'll learn that every emotion, whether it's mourning, laughter, or gratitude, has its rightful season, and that all of it is part of God's gentle plan.Join our community as we lean into prayer and daily devotion, seeking comfort and strength from God through every change we face.Tap HERE to send us a text!

Audio taken from the live teaching of "The Prophecy that Explains the Whole Bible - The Very First Prophecy in the Bible!" - https://youtu.be/nqmpngWm1iAImagine standing in the Garden of Eden on the darkest day in human history. The air is heavy with shame as Adam and Eve have just rebelled against God's directive. It seems the serpent has succeeded. Death has entered. The relationship with God is broken. Judgment is about to fall. But then, in the middle of the curse, God turns not to the Adam or to Eve, but to the serpent, and speaks the most hope-filled words the world had ever heard. “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”In our time together today I am going to uncover what many scholars refer to as the foundational prophecy of the entire Bible, and show you the very first prophecy in the Scriptures.Key Scriptures used in today's teaching: Genesis 3:15Other Scriptures referenced in this teaching: Galatians 4:4; Hebrews 2:14-15Unless stated otherwise, most Scripture is read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.Ways to give:https://www.lostlamb.org/give

Welcome to our first Community Member Spotlight. In this premiere episode, you'll hear a conversation between Bree, our Community Steward, and Leah, a program participant and online community member. Leah shares some major transitions in her life. She worked as an ICU nurse for 15 years, and recently left that job to focus on homeschooling and raising her two sons. We talk about the emotional weight of these life changes, including grief, uncertainty, and a sense of rebirth. Leah reflects on motherhood as one of the hardest things she has ever done, and says her children have influenced her to want to become better for herself and for them. Leah had been curious about psychedelics. After researching meditation, and reading Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind, she eventually scheduled a ceremony with Psychedelic Passage. We discuss how psychedelic experiences have influenced her decision-making, what she's learned on her journey so far, and how it's shaping her outlook going forward. Support from facilitators, the community, her therapist, and her family have all been crucial in her growth and healing. Leah also talks about how important integration is, and how her work still continues, long after her ceremonies.

After five years, this is the final episode of The Alchemist Inkwell.This isn't an ending born from a fight, a falling out, or something going wrong. In fact, that's part of what makes this moment so strange: sometimes something can still feel good while no longer feeling like the right path forward.In our final conversation, we're looking back at five years of The Alchemist Inkwell — the trips, interviews, books, synchronicities, technical difficulties, strange recording spaces, huge life changes, and the people we've been lucky enough to meet along the way.We also talk about why we're choosing to follow where life is taking each of us next, how you can continue following our work, and pull one final set of cards for the community we've built together.The podcast isn't disappearing.

What does it really mean to be part of The Sandwich Generation? This is a really personal one for me and I'm honored to welcome back Jill McNamara, LICSW, Vice President of Senior Care at Care.com and a senior care and aging expert, to talk about the emotional realities of caring for aging parents while raising a family. Following the release of Care.com's first-ever Sandwich Generation Report, Jill shares insights from a survey of 1,000 caregivers, revealing just how common and often invisible this experience has become. Together, we get into why so many caregivers don't recognize themselves as caregivers until they're already overwhelmed, the emotional weight of decision fatigue and anticipatory grief, why asking for help can feel so difficult, and the surprising personal growth that can emerge through caregiving. I open up about what's currently going on as my siblings and I continue to navigate our mom's Alzheimer's diagnosis and all the difficult decisions that comes with it as we figure out the best way forward. Whether you're currently caring for aging parents or simply want to be better prepared for the future, this conversation offers practical guidance, reassurance, and a powerful reminder that you don't have to navigate caregiving alone.

Eli44 grew up in Texas, took to the streets at a young age, did his first bid in the Texas Department of Corrections where he joined the Tango Blasts, and then caught a nearly 15 year federal sentence that sent him into federal medium security facilities and federal penitentiaries where he spent nearly a decade navigating the gang politics, the violence, and the disciplinary transfers that define life as a Tango Blast inside the federal system. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what being a Tango Blast inside the federal system actually looks like — the rules, the politics, the violence, and the specific survival mindset that nearly 10 years inside some of the most brutal federal facilities in the country required of him — and what finally getting out and turning his life completely around actually took after everything those years produced. _____________________________________________  #crimestory #prison #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to FACTOR & HIMS for sponsoring this episode: Factor: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and 1 free breakfast item per box for 1 year, while supplies last until! _____________________________________________ Hims: Visit https://hims.com/lockedin to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you. _____________________________________________ Connect with Eli44: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thereal_eli44/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd1XjhE0mMb34j-FwQsez3A/feed TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereal_eli44 _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 00:20 Growing Up in Austin 01:47 Finding the Streets and Music 04:21 Early Hustle and First Arrests 05:59 The Katrina Clash and Carrying a Weapon 08:00 The Music Scene and Getting Deeper 10:10 Jack Boys and Robberies 13:29 Caught with Drugs and a Gun 15:31 Going to TDC and Getting Initiated 18:00 Life in the State Prison 20:00 The Music Blows Up 22:00 Returning to the Drug Game 24:04 The Setup and Getting Caught 34:00 The Arrest and Aftermath 36:48 The Feds Get Involved 40:35 Cartel Pressure and Family Threats 44:00 Federal Sentence and Time in County 47:59 Life in the Federal Pen 54:00 The Politics of the Yard 01:04:00 A Standoff and Stealing an Amp 01:09:00 The Theft and Its Consequences 01:13:00 A Show of Force and Diplomacy 01:20:00 A Fight and a Stabbing 01:29:00 Spiritual Awakening at Atwater 01:36:00 The SMU Program 01:44:00 Meeting Kodak Black 01:50:00 The Horrors of the SMU 01:55:00 Texas Syndicate Rivalry 02:00:00 Life After the SMU 02:00:04 The SMU Experience 02:02:30 Coming Home and New Beginnings 02:04:55 Current Life and Outreach _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBick

Thank you for everyone who supports the journey, we are about a great work!

As we enter the 8th month we speak to the spiritual significance of the number eight, linking the Hebrew letter chet and the word l'chaim to themes of life, grace, and rest. We highlight biblical examples—Isaac, Noah, circumcision on the eighth day, and Jesus' resurrection as the start of a new cycle—to show how eight represents new beginnings. We also give prophetic encouragement for the month of August, urging all to embrace fresh starts and rest in God's grace as they step into new territory.

The Conversation God  Had With Satan Job Chapter 1

Does Psalm 83 point towards a future prophetic war, or is the current Middle East war a fulfillment of this Psalm?There has always been debate surrounding Psalm 83. Some see it as a passionate, desperate prayer from God's people when war is at the door. But many Bible teachers and prophecy scholars call this the “Psalm 83 War” and see it as a future prophetic end‑time events. I have heard many try to connect Psalm 83 to the current war in Israel and the chaos in the Middle East that dominates our headlines. In this Bible study I want to walk with you through Psalm 83 in four parts:1) The Plot - A United Plan To Destroy Israel.2) The Prayer - Asking God To Protect Israel.3) The Problem - Is This A Future End-Time War?4) The Practice – How Does Psalm 83 Affect Me?Key Scriptures used in today's teaching: Psalm 83:1–18Unless stated otherwise, most Scripture is read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

Tamara Cook grew up poor in a small Texas town with eight siblings, a mother struggling to hold everything together, and a biological father who was never in the picture — and when her babysitter started abusing her at just seven years old the life she deserved was already being taken from her before she was old enough to understand what was happening. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, she shares how her mother fell into addiction and began pimping her out, how her parents splitting sent everything into further chaos, how she eventually started selling drugs herself and ultimately became a pimp — the exact monster she had always been afraid of and never wanted to become. She opens up about her own addiction the relationships the multiple children she was raising in the middle of everything, and what a seven year sentence in the Texas Department of Corrections finally did to give her back the life that started being taken from her when she was seven years old. _____________________________________________ #womeninprison #TrueCrime #redemptionstory #prison _____________________________________________ Connect with Tamara Cook: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@tamarasherrell87?si=0laBG70KXTx69hZI TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nobodybby87?_r=1&_t=ZP-98ZtlRlPlcc _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Tamara Cook Introduction 00:21 Growing Up in Amarillo 02:02 Early Family Life & Childhood Memories 06:46 Life Changes at Age Seven 09:05 Abuse and Family Struggles 13:17 Mother's Addiction Begins 20:28 Role Reversal: Becoming the Caregiver 23:12 Trauma, Betrayal & Survival 27:01 Deeper Into Abuse and Neglect 33:32 Adolescence in Chaos 39:00 Survival and First Crimes 43:43 Turning to the Streets & Dealing 49:57 Dealing Drugs and Gang Life 58:00 Solo Survival and Criminal Hustle 01:05:30 Becoming a Dealer and a Pimp 01:14:00 Running Operations and Family Fallout 01:26:02 Violence, Survival & Self-Defense 01:35:29 From Teen Mom to Emancipation 01:46:06 Trying to Be a 'Normal' Wife & Mother 01:56:02 Losing Children and Hitting Rock Bottom 02:05:40 Falling into Addiction 02:11:00 Deep Addiction, Homelessness & Jail Time 02:24:00 Year Under Investigation & Final Arrest 02:33:50 Prison: The Breaking Point 02:46:00 Life Changing Years Inside 03:02:00 Release, Recovery & Faith 03:14:00 Domestic Violence and New Beginnings 03:18:00 Career, Ministry, and Healing 03:26:00 Mother's Redemption and Passing 03:33:00 Forgiveness, Recovery and Purpose 03:35:51 Reflection & Message of Hope _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Happy August! As we enter the 8th month of the year—a month representing new beginnings and a fresh start—we are decreeing sudden career testimonies, unexpected bonuses, and open doors for your professional journey.In this episode, we do a deep dive into the powerful word CITADEL. Whether you're trying to break into a competitive, "hard-to-enter" industry or seeking protection in your current workspace, learn how God operates as a living fortress around you and sends a citadel of angels to guard your path.

Audio taken from the live teaching "Destroy These 5 Lusts Or They Will Destroy You!" - https://youtu.be/a87RuPgOVmoEvery Christian faces temptation, but temptation becomes dangerous when we allow it to grow into uncontested lust. When you study the Scripture, lust is more than sexual desire; it is any strong, disordered craving that pulls our hearts away from God and toward sin.In our Bible study today we are going to identify the 5 major forms of lust that secretly attack the soul, and discover how to recognize them, and how to restrain them.Key Scriptures used in today's teaching: James 1:12-15Other Scriptures referenced: 1 John 2:15–17; Galatians 5:16; Matthew 6:22-23; Proverbs 4:20-23; 1 Timothy 6:9-10; Mark 10:42-45; 2 Timothy 3:1-4; James 1:14-15In today's study the key Scripture as well as 1 John 2:15-17 was read from the New American Standard Bible (NASB) translation. All other verses are read from the New Living Translation (NLT).If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

August has arrived—and according to intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista, this isn't just another month. It's one of the most pivotal energetic periods of the year.After July's Mercury retrograde invited us to slow down, reflect, and reset, August accelerates the journey with two powerful eclipses, major planetary shifts, and an invitation to shed old identities in favor of something far more authentic.If you've been feeling like life has been nudging or pushing you toward change, you're not imagining it.In this episode, Stevie walks us through the astrological themes week by week, explaining what each major transit means, where to focus your energy, and how to navigate the month with greater clarity, trust, and intention.IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:Why August 2026 eclipse season marks a major turning point filled with endings, beginnings, and soul-level course correctionsHow Saturn in Aries continues challenging us to release old identities and discover who we truly areThe meaning of Lammas (Lughnasadh) and why early August is the perfect time to celebrate gratitude, abundance, and the harvest in your own lifeHow Chiron retrograde invites deep healing while helping you recognize just how far you've already comeWhy Venus entering Libra encourages more balance, beauty, connection, and harmony in your relationships and daily lifeWhat it means as Mercury finally leaves its retrograde shadow and begins moving into new territoryHow Mercury in Leo inspires creativity, confidence, self-expression, and reconnecting with your inner childWhy Mars entering Cancer asks us to slow down, nurture ourselves, tend to home and family, and reconnect with our emotional rootsThe significance of the August 12 Solar Eclipse in Leo and how it may close important chapters while opening your heart to a new version of yourselfWhy this eclipse is less about forcing outcomes—and more about trusting where your soul is already leading youThe caution around Mars square Neptune, and why it's important to avoid making emotionally reactive decisions during the third week of the monthWhat Virgo season brings as we transition into healthier routines, organization, productivity, and grounded momentumHow the Mercury cycle reaches an important midpoint, offering an opportunity to reflect, refine, and adjust projects or ideas that began in JulyThe meaning of the August 28 Pisces Lunar Eclipse, and why surrender, intuition, and trusting the unknown become your greatest strengthsWhy 2026 continues to feel like a year of brand-new territory—and how to embrace the uncertainty instead of resisting itThroughout the conversation, Stevie reminds us that astrology is a powerful tool for understanding the larger cycles unfolding in our lives, helping us work with the energy instead of against it.If August feels intense, know that you're not alone. This month's astrology is inviting all of us to release what no longer fits, reconnect with our hearts, and step into a more authentic version of ourselves—one choice at a time.MORE WITH STEVIE CALISTAVisit steviecalista.com to learn more about Stevie's astrology readings, classes, and current offerings.Follow Stevie on Instagram: @farmhousemoonSubscribe to Stevie on Substack: @farmhousemoonSOLAR ECLIPSE VISIBILITYPath of Totality: Greenland, Iceland, Spain and Portugal, Russia:Partial Eclipse Regions:North America: Parts of Alaska and northeastern Canada/U.S. see a minor partial eclipse. i.e., New York will have about 9% coverage and Detroit roughly 3%.Europe + Africa: Much of Europe and northwestern Africa experience a deep partial eclipse near sunset Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.
