In this episode, Finding New Hope, Dex explores how professionals can rediscover hope and purpose after burnout. Drawing inspiration from Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, Dex shows how meaning and purpose are not luxuries—they're essential for resilience, recovery, and fulfillment.He examines why burnout so often erodes hope, how chronic stress distorts our perception of self-worth, and what it takes to reclaim your power and confidence when you've run dry. Through visualization, reflection, and self-compassion, Dex invites you to reconnect with your authentic, capable self—the one who still believes in your own future.This episode is an antidote to despair, and a call to rise—stronger, wiser, and more human than before.Key TakeawaysHope is a choice and a practice. As Viktor Frankl wrote, “Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.”Meaning and purpose are survival tools, not nice-to-haves. They keep us connected, resilient, and capable of thriving even in hard times.Burnout breeds despair, not because you're broken—but because you've been running on empty.You can reawaken your inner leader. Visualize your future self: grounded, calm, confident, and capable.Self-compassion is not indulgence—it's medicine. Hope returns when you take the rod off your own back.The transformation begins when you decide to believe in yourself again.Refs:Man's Search for Meaning, Viktor FranklSend us a text----------------------------------- Burnout Resources:Get 1-on-1 burnout recovery coaching at https:/mini.dexrandall.comFor even more TIPS see FACEBOOK: @coachdexrandallINSTAGRAM: @coachdexrandallLINKEDIN: @coachdexrandallX: @coachdexrandallSee https://linktr.ee/coachdexrandall for all links

What does it really look like to live generously in everyday life? In this heartfelt and powerful panel message, To Whom Much Is Given…, Pastor Vicki Harrison leads a conversation with five faithful New Hope members—Katie Mackey, Cecil Cadwallader, Michael Heaton, Bobby Lain, and Mary Barrow—about their journeys into tithing, stewardship, and joyful generosity. Each story reveals something deeper: generous living isn't about wealth—it's about surrender. It's about trusting God with what He's already entrusted to us. And it's about taking Jesus at His word in 2 Corinthians 9:6–15: “God loves a cheerful giver.” Ready to take your next step in living generously?Join a Community Group, explore giving opportunities, or revisit our mission to create more followers of Jesus Christ.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor are joined by renowned childhood obesity expert Dr. Evan Nadler for a deep, honest conversation about what really is making our kids fat—and what's finally changing about how kids, parents, and doctors can fight it.The panel unpacks why the word “fat” is still so emotionally charged, how culture and even healthcare still get it wrong about weight, and why obesity must be recognized as a medical disease—not a moral failure. Dr. Nadler shares stories from two decades on the front lines, Dr. Cooper highlights transformative new science, and Andrea brings personal experience that challenges stereotypes and reveals the harm of shame-based approaches.From the latest treatments—including medication and surgery for kids under 12—to the power of genetics, hormones, and family history, this episode breaks the silence, busts the myths, and lays out hope for families everywhere.Key Takeaways:The global prevalence of childhood obesity keeps rising, with 15 million kids in the US now affected, and most will progress to adult obesity without intervention.Obesity in kids is driven by a complex web of biology—genes, prenatal health, and hormones—not “overeating” or lack of willpower.Parental health before and during pregnancy strongly affects a child's risk of obesity, and interventions work best when started early—even before birth.Shame, strict dieting, and constant focus on weight do lifelong damage. Kids need support, not blame, and a focus on total health—sleep, nutrition, stress, and fun movement.New medications (like GLP-1 agonists) and bariatric surgery are safe, evidence-based options for select children, and can be life-changing when used correctly.Advances in science and patient care show that individualized treatment (not “one-size-fits-all” fixes) leads to the best long-term health and lower risk of serious complications in adulthood.There are always choices—kids and families should know they are not alone, and there are always next steps in medical care, whatever age or size a child may be.Resources from the episode:Fat Science is dedicated to empowering families and changing the conversation about metabolism—reminding us all that fat isn't a failure.

n this episode of Bantha Milk Podcast, James and Rob put their lightsabers where their mouths are and make the case for Star Wars: A New Hope as the best film in the entire saga. From iconic characters and groundbreaking effects to the storytelling that launched a galaxy far, far away — they're diving deep into why Episode IV still holds up as the gold standard of Star Wars. Was it George Lucas's original vision that makes it untouchable? Is it the raw charm of 1977 filmmaking? Or maybe it's just nostalgia...? Whether you're a prequel purist, an Empire enthusiast, or ride hard for the sequels — this is one episode you don't want to miss. Agree? Disagree? Let the debates begin!

Daily Dose of Hope September 23, 2025   Scripture – Luke 22:39-71   Prayer:  Holy God, We come before you this morning in awe of your blessings and love.  Thank you, Lord, for the ways you continue to guide our lives.  Lord, we want more intimacy with you.  We are desperate to know you better.  In these next few moments of silence, Jesus, please speak to us.  We need to hear your voice...  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  As most of you know, we are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are finishing up Luke 22.    Yesterday, we joined Jesus in the Upper Room with this disciples.  Today, we find them praying together on the Mount of Olives.  The only problem is that the disciples cannot stay awake.  Jesus is pouring out his heart to the Father, asking that the cup be taken from him, and the disciples (in their humanness) can't keep their eyes open.  Luke says that they were exhausted from sorrow.  They don't know what is about to happen but they do know that it's going to be bad.    I love how Luke mentions that an angel comes down to strengthen Jesus.  Remember, he freely chooses to go to the cross but he knows it's going to be terrible.  In his humanity, he dreads it.  But God knows what he needs and provides it.  Just in case you don't know, God knows what you need and will provide it.  That doesn't mean he will save you from pain and sorrow.  I mean, Jesus is about to be executed on a Roman cross.  But God will walk with us and give us the strength we need. Jesus is then arrested.  Luke tells us that Jesus is approached by the chief priests, officers of the Temple guard, and the elders.  They come at him with swords and clubs.  Verses 49-51 read, “When Jesus' followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”  And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.  But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man's ear and healed him.  Even in this situation, Jesus responds with love.  Jesus kept his disciples from fighting back with violence.  He trusted God to the end.  He also made it clear that his kingdom doesn't follow the pattern of this world.  This world's pattern is violence, power, and control.  Jesus' way is love, truth, justice, mercy, and peace. I did want to spend a little time on Peter's denial of Jesus. I don't know why but I've always been fascinated by this passage. Peter was Jesus' closest friend. He swore that if all the others fell away, he would not. And yet, he did. What made Peter deny Jesus? Probably fear. Fear does all kinds of things to us as human beings. Maybe he was scared of being arrested himself, or of being ostracized by the Jewish leaders, we don't really know.  But whatever the reason, he vehemently denies Jesus three times.  When Peter realizes this, he has tremendous remorse and begins to cry.   Maybe I'm fascinated by this text because I have so often found myself in the same boat.  I have denied Jesus.  I haven't spoke up when I knew I should have, I haven't stood firm on certain issues, I haven't loved others the way Jesus calls me to, I haven't put Jesus first, I could go on and on.  I have denied Jesus.  I hope that I've gotten to the place in my spiritual walk in which I deny Jesus less.  But I know that I am far from perfect and there are still those times.  When I realize my denial, like Peter, I cry and I'm filled with sorrow and I have to go back to Jesus and repent.  And just like he did for Peter, I'm forgiven and restored.    Think about your own life. How have you denied Jesus? What has been your reaction when you realize this?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Isaiah 61:1-5As we step into this new calling here at New Hope, I am reminded of the words in Isaiah 61 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me”. This is not just the story of a prophet long ago, but a living word for us right here, right now! God has anointed us for a mission of healing, hope, and restoration.

Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a focus on a risk factor of high blood pressure in children, the need for blood pressure to be monitored earlier in life,  and a report of the overall health in children and addressing childhood chronic diseases due to ultra processed foods, vaccine policies, lack of exercise and chemical exposure. Then the conversation shifts to the weight loss drug Mounjaro/Zepbound may be able to shrink breast cancer tumors as proven in a study with mice. It's an unexpected finding which may lead to a potential, new therapeutic use for the drug beyond it's current application for obesity and diabetes. Next, Florida makes news after the announcement was made of the state lifting school vaccine mandates, there's a new hope for people suffering from mental health issues with a new, monthly-injectable drug had been approved for Schizophrenia and Bipolar 1 Disorder, and time spent sitting on the toilet is at an all-time high due to phone use — leading to a 46% higher rate of hemorrhoids. The conversation rounds out with listener questions for Dr. Ken, including an increased requirement for pre-approval for medical tests, how to know what doctor to go see in a world now full of specialists and debating what insurance will cover, the need for a quality primary care provider, and learning about the common skin condition called eczema.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

The Aussie market stumbled to its weakest performance in a fortnight, with the ASX200 closing firmly lower and now sitting about 3% shy of record highs. Losses across miners, financials and consumer stocks outweighed gains for energy shares, helped by a stronger oil price, and Whitehaven Coal, which jumped more than 5%. DroneShield also climbed after securing fresh US defence contracts, while New Hope and gold miners lagged. Attention now shifts to the Federal Reserve’s widely expected rate cut, the tone of Jerome Powell’s comments, and tomorrow’s Australian jobs data.

Daily Dose of Hope September 10, 2025   Scripture – Luke 17:20-37   Prayer:  Almighty God, we start by pausing before you.  Help us set aside the distractions of the morning or the day and focus on you.  In these next few moments of silence, help us gather our scattered thoughts and think only of you...Help us be still and know you are God.  God, we rejoice that we can freely read your Word and we are grateful that you speak to It's truly a miracle.  Holy Spirit, we also invite you to join us as we seek to grow deeper in relationship with you.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  This is the podcast and devotional that goes along with the Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida.    It's Wednesday so that means Recharge day.  If you are local, I hope to see you tonight at New Hope, on the Moon Ave. side of campus, for worship, fellowship, prayer, and small groups.   Today, we are finishing up Luke 17.  Jesus is initially asked by a Pharisee about the Kingdom of God.  Keep in mind, the Pharisees expected God's Kingdom to be an earthly one, a Kingdom that would overthrow the Romans and allow the Jews to govern themselves, as they once did.  But when Jesus speaks of God's Kingdom, he is talking about something quite different.    We've discussed the Kingdom of God quite a bit in the Daily Dose of Hope, but let's do a little review.  God's Kingdom exists anywhere that God reigns as king and his values are at work, where the world is working in the way that God always intended it to work. The kingdom of God was central to the message of Jesus and wherever he traveled, he proclaimed its coming. Jesus truly lived out the Kingdom in all he did, in all he taught, and in the way he did life. In God's Kingdom, there is no sickness, so Jesus healed the sick. In God's Kingdom, there is no discrimination, so Jesus elevated the oppressed, he ate with tax collectors and prostitutes. In God's Kingdom, there is justice, there is mercy, there is love. So Jesus offered forgiveness, he offered acceptance, he offered LOVE in all he did, ultimately giving up his life in the greatest act of love in the history of the world.    Thus, it makes sense that Jesus says to the Pharisee that the Kingdom is not something that can be observed, but rather it is something that is in your midst.  Jesus ushered in the Kingdom of God.  The disciples and the early church continued Jesus' mission of growing the Kingdom.  Even we are part of expanding the boundaries of God's Kingdom today.  It is here in our midst.  But at the same time, there are elements of God's Kingdom that will not be fully realized until Jesus returns in final victory.  The Kingdom has a NOW and a NOT YET quality about it.  It's possible that Jesus is alluding to this.  And then, Jesus not so subtly steers the conversation to the last days.  He speaks of how people in the time of Noah and with the destruction of Sodom were caught off guard by the judgement.  They should not have been, as there were warnings, but they were.  And people will also be caught off guard when Jesus comes to judge the living and the dead.    We get this warning once again – be ready.  Be watchful and be prepared because Jesus will return again and it will be at a time that is most unexpected.  When the disciples ask Jesus where this will happen, he responds with a proverb, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”  Basically, the location is not the point.  Rather, the fact that judgment will occur is the point and it will occur wherever there is sin and spiritual death.  The vultures gathering gives us a word picture for what's going to happen --- they will gather around the spiritual “carcass” or dead body.    What are your thoughts about the end times?  Media and Hollywood have given us a lot of bad information about what will happen when Jesus returns.  The Left Behind series, while entertaining, is not very scriptural accurate.  As believers, we really don't have a lot to fear.  In fact, we have nothing to fear, we simply need to be ready.  Are you ready?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

In today's sermon from Rev. Vicki Harrison, she walks us through the powerful and often overlooked story of Deborah, found in Judges 4 and 5. As part of our What a Mess series, we explore how God raises up unlikely leaders—people the world may never choose—to accomplish His purposes in the midst of chaos. Pastor Vicki opens with a reality check: the time of the Judges was marked by confusion and rebellion, a time when “everyone did what was right in their own eyes.” Sound familiar? Yet even in the disorder, God was still listening, still calling, and still delivering. And in this case, He chooses Deborah—a woman, prophet, and judge—to lead Israel with bold faith. We learn that Deborah doesn't just sit in authority—she acts. She calls Barak to battle, encourages him to trust God's promise, and even goes with him when he hesitates. Her leadership is marked by courage, obedience, and worship. After victory, Deborah sings a song of praise, making it clear that the true hero is God alone. Throughout the sermon, Pastor Vicki invites us to reflect on some deeply personal questions: Do we believe God still hears our cries? Are we ignoring a call because we feel unqualified or unseen? Are we giving God the credit for the victories He brings? And most importantly—how does Deborah's story point us to Jesus, the ultimate deliverer who leads, saves, and sings over His people? If you've ever felt unqualified, invisible, or overwhelmed by your own mess, Deborah's story reminds us: God sees, God calls, and God delivers. Want to go deeper?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Sam Sokol and tech reporter Sharon Wrobel join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel said she won't follow foreign minister and New Hope party head Gideon Sa'ar into a merger with the Likud party, Sokol discusses Haskel's position on the front lines of Israel's information battle and her concerns about Likud's representation of moderate voters. Opposition leader Yair Lapid warned of the end of Zionism if Netanyahu's coalition wins the next election, which Sokol calls Lapid's election rhetoric, consistent with how Lapid has been speaking for the last few years. Sokol analyzes rising tensions between Ashkenazi and Sephardic Haredi parties and Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Boaz Bismuth's new approach to Haredi conscription law. Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air plans to establish a base in Israel, notes Wrobel, offering it advantages in the Israeli air transportation market. Wrobel also discusses milk shortages in Israel due to production issues and consumer panic.
