The United Nations has warned that nearly three million children could contract HIV by 2040, with more than half at risk of dying from AIDS-related illnesses if prevention and treatment efforts are not significantly expanded. The agency says the overwhelming majority of these infections are expected to occur in sub-Saharan Africa, where young people remain disproportionately affected by the epidemic. Amid these concerns, a major scientific breakthrough is offering new hope. Lenacapavir, a long-acting HIV prevention injection administered just twice a year, is being hailed as a potential game-changer, particularly for young people and others who struggle to adhere to daily prevention pills. In United States, Minnesota , the fentanyl epidemic continues to devastate families and communities, with overdose deaths leaving a lasting toll.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Blessing Aderogba Technical Producer: Herbert Masua Senior Producer: Keikantse Shumba Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla

Daily Dose of Hope June 23, 2026   Scripture:  1 Kings 17   Prayer:  Almighty God, We belong to you.  Sometimes, we get distracted and wander.  Forgive us, Lord.  Help us stay fully focused on you.  Help us remember who and whose we are.  In these next few moments of silence, Lord, help us hear a word from you...Jesus, this is your day, we are your people.  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.  This summer, we are currently working our way through 1 & 2 Kings.    Our reading for today was 1 Kings 17.  The chapter begins with Elijah proclaiming to King Ahab that there would be no rain for the next few years until the one true God declared it so.  This is particularly important because the main Canaanite god, Baal, was worshiped as the god of rain.  By Yahweh stopping all rain and dew, he is declaring that HE alone is God and that Baal is a fake god with no power.  The Scripture doesn't explicitly state the response of King Ahab but we can guess it wasn't good, for God tells Elijah to leave the area and go hide by Kerith Brook.    As you read through the chapter, Elijah's obedience and trust in God are quite remarkable. He trusts God to provide provisions for food and water through animals and people!  My favorite aspect of this chapter is how God uses an impoverished outsider, the widow of Sidon (a city in what is now Lebanon), to provide care and nourishment to one of the most faithful of all of God's prophets.  Keep in mind that a widow would have been one of the poorest and most vulnerable people in that world.  And yet, God chooses her and she (possibly out of desperation) agrees to be part of God's plan. As a result, she and her son are saved from the drought, the ensuing famine, and even illness.  At the end of the chapter, her faithfulness to Elijah is rewarded with God bringing her son back to life.  By being faithful and open to God at work, this widow puts to shame many others who rejected the one true God.   How often God uses the weak and lowly to shame the powerful.  I think this is something we all need to reflect on today. When have you personally seen this at work?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope June 22, 2026   Scripture:  1 Kings 16   Prayer:  Almighty God, We come before you with awe and humility.  We are nothing without you.  We need you desperately, Lord.  Help us gather our scattered thoughts today as we focus on you.  In these next few moments of silence, help us remember that we belong to you.  Help us lay our worries and cares on the throne of your grace...We pray this in the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently working our way through 1 Kings.  It's been quite a ride so far!  Let's see what we have in store today.    Our reading on this Monday is 1 Kings 16.  The Northern Kingdom is one, hot sinful mess! King after king, there is disobedience, idolatry, and violence. By the time we get to King Ahab at the end of chapter 16, we think it can't get any worse.  And yet, it really does. Ahab was the worst of the worst. He went above and beyond when it came to deliberately thumbing his nose at God and he took pagan worship to a new level.  Then, there was child sacrifice. To be honest, I wasn't really clear about what verse 34 meant–what does it mean to build the foundations of a city or the gates at the cost of a child? Apparently, infants (alive or dead) would be placed in a container and then literally placed in the masonry of the foundation.  The idea was to ward off evil and please the gods. I have a hard time even typing the words. How absolutely horrific and blatantly against the law of the one true God.   One more aspect of Ahab's total disregard for the Lord–the rebuilding of Jericho. Most of you probably remember the great story of Joshua and the people of God conquering Jericho after circling for seven days. At the time, God warned of death to the person (and their family) who attempted to rebuild the city.  And Ahab rebuilt it.  The author is reminding us that while it might not appear to be so, God's Word still stands. God is still in control. Ahab will not have the final word.  Evil does not win.    And evil does not win today.  It's a good reminder for all of us because there are times when the depravity around the globe can be almost overwhelming.  God will have the final word.  Of course, we live on the other side of the cross.  We know that Jesus has won victory over sin and death.  However, we do live in an in-between time.  Maybe a better way to say it is that the war has been won but there are still some battles remaining.  Until Jesus returns in final victory, evil will still have a place in this world.  When he returns, we can look forward to a time when evil will be vanquished for good.  No more tears, no more violence, no more injustice.    Blessings, Pastor Vicki

You are not doing the heavy lifting alone anymore.If you are living with symptoms that seem confusing, inconsistent, or flat-out exhausting, we have a vital surprise for you. For years, the Lichen Sclerosus Support Network (LSSN) has been a dedicated sanctuary for the LS community. But we know that many of our brothers and sisters are also navigating the painful, isolating world of Lichen Planus (LP) without a clear place to call home. Today, that completely changes. LSSN is officially expanding our mission to build a dedicated resource home for Lichen Planus. Joining host Kathy to launch this new frontier is Dr. Erin Foster, a leading mucosal specialist from Oregon Health & Science University. Dr. Foster is stepping up as the head of our brand-new LP department to help turn scattered search spirals into hard clinical research, clearer tracking tools, and real community hope. Visit our new LP website at https://aboutlichenplanus.comWhat You Will Learn: Core Episode TakeawaysThe Blueprint of Lichen Planus: How this autoimmune response targets the deep T-cells of your body, and why it can show up across your skin, mouth, scalp, nails, esophagus, or genitals. The Diagnostic Blur (LS vs. LP): Why classic textbook definitions are outdated. Dr. Foster shares why hyperkeratotic LP can present as completely white patches on the vulva, mimicking lichen sclerosus perfectly and causing years of misdiagnosis. The 3-to-9 Month Medication Trigger Window: A look at how common everyday medications like Ibuprofen, Metformin, and Beta-blockers can set off a delayed immune flare-up months after your first dose. The Truth About Scarring: Why identifying symptoms early in areas like the scalp (LPP) or moist mucosal tissues is vital to halt irreversible tissue fusion and hair loss. The Systemic Escalation Ladder: A breakdown of how treatments look when topical steroid creams aren't enough, including safe pills like Hydroxychloroquine and immune modulators like Methotrexate. *Self-Advocacy & Educational Use Only.

Daily Dose of Hope June 19, 2026   Scripture: 1 Kings 15   Prayer:  Almighty God, As we close this week, we pray that today will be a day that we see glimpses of your glory.  We need you, we yearn for you.  Lord, help us set aside our distractions and settle our scattered thoughts so we can focus on you and you alone.  In the next few moments of silence, Lord, hear our prayers... 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.  We are currently working our way through 1 Kings.  I don't know about you, but some of this is really hard to read.  The kings are leading the people astray in detestable ways.  It's easy to almost have a visceral reaction to it.   Today's reading is 1 Kings 15.  Here, we begin the saga of various kings reigning over both Israel (the Northern Kingdom) and Judah (the Southern Kingdom).  In the Northern Kingdom, there is a quick turnover of leadership, which naturally leads to instability.  There is also a blatant disregard for God's laws, including what has become a culture of pagan worship.  We will see God occasionally send a prophet to hold the king accountable, and regardless of whether the king changes his behavior, we can see the Lord attempting to be in relationship with his people and call his people back to him.   In the Southern Kingdom, there were also a number of leaders, some who disobeyed God and others who made an earnest attempt to follow God's law.  In today's chapter, we meet King Asa, who does what was right in the Lord's eyes.  He cleans up the pagan symbols and altars, the shrine prostitutes, and brings the precious articles back to the temple.   What's interesting is that in the Southern Kingdom, even when the kings are disobedient, God extends grace because of David's obedience and devotion.  In some ways, God gives them a pass because he remembered the faithfulness of their forefather David.  Even when the kings were sinful, God kept his promise.  He promised that a descendent of David would sit on the throne forever and he made it so.    Our God is a God who keeps his promises.  How many of you need to hear today that God keeps his promises?  Even when we fall away, God keeps his promises.  Even when life feels hard, God keeps his promises.   Below is a list of just a few of God's promises.  On this day filled with so much uncertainty because of the storm, let's focus on God's promises:   1.         God promises to always be with you.  Matthew 28:20 (and surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age), Hebrews 13:5 (Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."  Romans 8:38-39 (For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.)   2.        God promises strength.1 Cor. 10:13 (No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind.  And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.), 2 Cor. 12:9 (But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me), Phil. 4:13 (I can do all this through him who gives me strength.), Eph. 6:10 (Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.)   3.        God promises peace.  John 14:27 (Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.), John 16:33 ("I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble.  But take heart! I have overcome the world.")   4.        God promises to answer prayers.  Luke 11:9 ("So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.), John 16:24 (Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.). Matthew 7:8 (For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.   5.        God promises to take care of your needs. Matthew 6:32-33 (For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.), 2 Cor.9:8 (And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.)   6.        God promises freedom from sin.  John 8:36 (So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.), Romans 6:22 (But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.), Romans 8:1 (Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus...)   7.        God promises everlasting life.  John 3:16 (For God so loved the world...), I John 5:13-14 (I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life...) On the podcast, this is when the discussion with Emmy Roberts begins.  Tune in! Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

In this second message of the After the Fall series, Pastor R. Bret Walker traces humanity's decline after Eden and introduces Abram as God's surprising new beginning. God calls Abram to leave everything familiar and promises, “In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Pastor Walker explores Abram's obedience, his fears, and God's unwavering faithfulness—even when Abram falters. This sermon invites listeners to consider their own callings, the cost of obedience, and the eternal hope found in the One who would ultimately come from Abram's line: Jesus Christ, the true fulfillment of God's promise. #GuerrillaChristianity #PastorRBretWalker #AfterTheFallSeries #ANewHope #Genesis12 #CallOfAbram #FaithAndObedience #BiblicalHope #ChristianPodcast #WalkingByFaith

Daily Dose of Hope June 18, 2026   Scripture: 1 Kings 14   Prayer:  Holy God, We come before you today with humility and gratefulness.  We praise your powerful name.  Thank you, so much, Lord, that you came to earth to dwell among us and show us a different way of being.  Help us to pay attention to your example.  Help us to be more loving and more merciful in all we do.  Help us to be even but a small reflection of you.  You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  Thank you, Jesus.  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  Just a reminder, it's VBS week at New Hope.  There are a lot of amazing children and volunteers on our campus.  Please keep them in prayer.   We are currently working our way through 1 Kings.  Today's reading is 1 Kings 14.  It becomes clear that Jeroboam will face the consequences of his sin.  His son gets ill and Jeroboam sends his wife to seek the wisdom of a prophet.  The prophet is clear – because Jeroboam was so sinful, his son will die, and the entire house of Jeroboam will be obliterated.  No matter how important or untouchable someone things they are, sin has consequences.    While Jeroboam ruled in the Northern Kingdom, Rehoboam reigned in the Southern Kingdom, Judah.  Things aren't going well there either.  They also worshiped other gods, set up altars in the high places, had shrines with male prostitutes, and did things absolutely detestable in the eyes of the one true God.  We see God lifting his hand of protection and allowing the king of Egypt to successfully attack Jerusalem and carry off treasures from the temple.    Things are going really bad in the north and the south.  What has happened to God's people?  How did they get to this place?  I think sometimes we can ask ourselves the same questions.    Blessings, Pastor Vicki

And now for something completely different. This month, we're proud to present a special show focussing on assistance for newcomers to the hobby, but hopefully, we have helpful nuggets of advice for all listeners. We'll look at what you can collect, where to find it, pro's and con's of the various marketplaces, how to spot repro (and why), options for display, and a lot more besides. Special guest interviewee this month is Wayne Richards, a collector who had the toys in the 70s and 80s, but as an adult collector, he's only been back in the game for about a year. He tells Andy P about his collecting journey, his growing collection, and a few lessons learned along the way.    Elsewhere, the lads chat about how they got back into collecting themselves, discuss their latest pick-ups, and Face-Off in Argentina, New Zealand, Japan and France.  Rich hosts this months quiz, impartial as ever, and the lads look at the latest and greatest finds from the collecting world - a Harbert Yoda, a Mexican record, Brazilian Model Trems, Star Wars Vans, and a radio press kit. In Rebel Briefings we celebrate in Cincinnati, wonder Y wings, get retro with Jeroen, discuss dodgy die-cast, ask whether Rebel Transports are poo, hear about Heritage hi-jinks, celebrate Celebration, and look at Topps prices paid. No Licensee this month as we just couldn't fit it into such a packed show!  Find the podcast in all the usual places.

Daily Dose of Hope June 17, 2026   Scripture: 1 Kings 13   Prayer:  Dear Heavenly Father, I come before you today with humility.  You are holy, you are perfect, and I am painfully flawed.  Forgive me, Lord, for the way I fall short over and over again.  Forgive me for not being loving, patient, and kind.  Jesus, I want to follow your example.  I want to have a clean and pure heart.  How I need you.  Create in me a pure heart, Lord, and renew a right spirit within me.  I love you.  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently working our way through 1 Kings.  Yesterday, we read about how the divided Kingdom began – with one arrogant, ego-driven king who decided to listen to really poor counsel.    Today's reading is 1 Kings 13.  We read about Jeroboam, the king in the Northern Kingdom yesterday.  Things have gotten really bad.  It seems he has instituted his own cult in Israel. There are pagan gods and altars everywhere.  While the chapter doesn't specifically say this, idolatry usually coincides with other sin too.    We read about a prophet visiting Jeroboam.  He warns him of the consequences of his disobedience.  What are the consequences? Well, a new king, Josiah, will rise up.  And Josiah will clean up the pagan altars, kill the pagan priests, and punish Jeroboam. As a sign of the authenticity of the prophet's message, he says that the altar by which Jeroboam was standing would split in two. Jeroboam isn't thrilled with this message, of course, and attempts to get the man seized but God intervenes. Jeroboam's hand is paralyzed and then, just as the man prophesied, the altar splits and the ashes pour out. Yes, the message is all true; there is no doubt it will come to pass.   This is a bit of an odd chapter. The man of God who visited Jeroboam ends up with an untimely death because of disobedience himself. You see, no matter who you are, there are always consequences to sin. Always. We live on the other side of the cross and while we can repent and receive forgiveness, we still often must face the consequences of our own bad choices: debt, divorce, job loss, relationship issues, and damage to the Kingdom.   Think of an example of when your sin caused consequences you deeply regretted. How did the situation play out? Was there healing and restoration OR are you continuing to deal with the pain of sin? Whatever the situation, submit it to God today.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Recorded live at Indiana Comic Convention - Holly Frey and Bryan Young gathered before a live audience to talk about the challenges facing the production of A New Hope, the original Star Wars film as George Lucas worked feverishly to complete the film as Fox got more and more impatient with how over schedule and over budget the film was. Still, he had some decisions to make.

Daily Dose of Hope June 15, 2026   Scripture: 1 Kings 11   Prayer:  Almighty God, Thank you for today and new week.  Thank you for providing for us, caring for us, and protecting us.  Over thousands upon thousands of years, you have taken care of your people.  We give you glory and praise, for who you are.  Thank you, most of all, for sending Jesus, who moved into our neighborhood so that we could begin to understand your love.  Wow.  There are no words to adequately thank you for the sacrifice that saved our lives.  Lord Jesus, we love you and we thank you.  Help us grow in holiness, continue to transform us so we can be a better reflection of you.  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.  We are currently working our way through the Old Testament books of 1 & 2 Kings.   Today's reading is 1 Kings 11.  Okay, let's start with the most obvious observation – 700 wives and 300 concubines!  Really?  Did he even know all of their names?  And these women were from many pagan nations all around Israel.  They brought their gods into the palace.  They raised their children worshipping other gods.  What in the world was Solomon thinking?  Where is the wisdom?  Also, I've always found it amusing that the Scripture said that Solomon loved all these foreign women.  How can you love so many women at once?  Maybe lust would have been a more appropriate word.  I didn't do a deep Hebrew word study here but that might be in order soon.   The Scripture says that these women led Solomon astray.  And he didn't just go a little astray, he became totally absorbed in the worship of pagan gods.  He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord.  While it's still shocking, we could kind of see this coming. Those with absolute power and tremendous wealth have a hard time not getting distracted and to say Solomon was distracted is an understatement. The author of 1 Kings says that Solomon's wives led him astray but let's be real, hearts begin to drift far before we make that bad decision. Solomon had probably gradually, slowly been becoming more self-absorbed, self-reliant, and focused on his own wants and needs. Self-importance and arrogance is the beginning of thinking that we don't really need God. We don't need to seek God's will. We've got it all covered.  Who comes to mind from our own society that might be in a similar predicament?   Now, Solomon has broken covenant with God.  He has not held up his end of the deal.  God continually warned him that his prosperity and blessing were contingent on obedience and faithfulness.  Now that Solomon has betrayed God, God will lift his hand of protection.  We begin to see God raise up specific men to come against Solomon.  The united Kingdom will not last.    More tomorrow...   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

What happens when God keeps calling and we keep not listening? This week, guest speaker Rev. Betty J. Bricker walked New Hope through Amos 4 — the chapter where the whisper becomes a roar. It's a message about comfort that quietly numbs us, worship that makes noise but not music, and the mercy hiding inside hardship — all building to the most important appointment any of us will ever keep.  

In 1981, National Public Radio turned the biggest movie in the world into a thirteen-episode radio epic that went on to break the network's listening records. George Lucas sold the rights for a single dollar and handed over the original sound effects and John Williams' score, letting a full cast bring the galaxy to life in sound alone. Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels reprised Luke Skywalker and C-3PO in a sweeping retelling that expands well beyond the film — the original Star Wars as you've never heard it.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Daily Dose of Hope June 12, 2026   Scripture: 1 Kings 10   Prayer: King of Kings and Lord of Lords, You are an amazing God.  Thank you for becoming one of us.  Thank you for emptying yourself to take on the form of a servant.  Your name is worthy of all praise.  Give us insight, wisdom, and discernment, as we read your Word today.  Help us take this precious gift of Scripture and apply it to our lives.  We are grateful, Jesus, and we love you.  Amen.   Welcome back to the daily dose of hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently journeying through 1 & 2 Kings.  Today, our reading is 1 Kings 10.   This chapter goes into great detail of the both the wealth and wisdom of King Solomon. The Queen of Sheba comes to ask him hard questions and see if what she has heard about this man is true. She leaves satisfied that King Solomon is indeed a man of God and wise beyond measure.  Just fyi, the Queen of Sheba is thought to have come from the ancient empire of Yemen or the ancient empire of Ethiopia.  There is a bit of debate here.    Verses 23-25 serve as a summary of the entire chapter. They read, So King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king on earth. People from every nation came to consult him and to hear the wisdom God had given him.  Year after year everyone who visited brought him gifts of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.    Solomon is wiser and richer than any king who came before and any king who came after him. People are amazed by him and Solomon has many visitors who gifted him with even more wealth.  God certainly kept his promise to Solomon.  That being said, rarely does a human being have so much wealth and power without being corrupted by it in some way. When I read this chapter, I almost dread what is to come.    Can you name one billionaire that maintained integrity and focus on the right things throughout their entire life?  Thus, this begs the question–will Solomon continue to be true to God because of God's faithfulness to him? Will Solomon stay wise to the end?   More tomorrow...   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Marcia Lucas has passed away. She edited the original Star Wars and won an Oscar for it alongside Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew. She's the one who told George Lucas to let Obi-Wan die, cut the Death Star trench run out of 40,000 feet of footage, added the ticking clock for the Death Star firing on Yavin, and kept the kiss for luck between Luke and Leia. A New Hope doesn't work without her, and most people don't even know her name. In this video I want to talk about what she really gave us. Rest in peace, Marcia. Thank you for everything.

Daily Dose of Hope June 5, 2026   Scripture:  I Kings 5   Prayer:  Abba Father, We come to you today in awe of your love for us.  Thank you, Lord, for your sacrifice.  Thank you for sitting high and looking low.  We give you all the glory and praise, Lord Jesus.  Help us to be less selfish and more like you.  On our own, we mess it up.  We need you, Jesus.  We need you minute by minute.  Guide our thoughts today, Lord.  Guide our words and guide our actions.  May we look more like you today, Lord, than we did yesterday.  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.  This week, we have starting digging into 1 Kings.  Our reading for today is 1 Kings 5.  I'm going to do a short devotional on today's reading and then we will be joined by Emmy Roberts, who leads our youth (and does a lot of other stuff) here at New Hope.  She is wonderful and I know you are going to enjoy having her with us on the Daily Dose. On to today's chapter - now that there is peace in Israel, Solomon decides that it is time to begin work on the temple.  As you might recall, David had wanted to build a temple for the Lord but God had declined.  Instead, God simply wanted David to lead the people.  God also made a covenant with David that one of his descendants would be on the throne forever.  In the covenant (refer to 2 Samuel 7), God also mentions that one of David's descendants "will build a house for my name."  That descendant is Solomon.  Thus, Solomon hatches a plan.  He makes an alliance of sorts with the King of Tyre who can provide labor and lumber. As we read in the chapter, the men of Israel also had to play a role in the manual labor required for the massive undertaking.  Solomon enlists the very unpopular practice of conscription, forced labor, but he does not make slaves of the people.  They work in shifts.  This required tremendous coordination, management, and skilled labor.  I was trying to think of a more modern equivalent to compare this to, maybe the making of some of the larger cathedrals.  What kinds of massive undertakings do you know of that humans have taken to please the Lord? Now, for those who are listening to the podcast, welcome to my discussion with Emmy Roberts...

What if one of the biggest threats to your success isn't fear, self-doubt, or lack of confidence... But too much confidence? In this episode, I sit down with internationally recognized mental game coach Jared Tendler to explore one of the most common—and least recognized—performance killers among high achievers: overconfidence. We unpack why success often plants the seeds of future failure, how overconfidence quietly erodes discipline, preparation, and decision-making, and why most people never realize it's happening until they're stuck in a spiral of frustration, anger, and self-doubt. In this episode, you'll learn: Why overconfidence—not fear—is often what derails high performers The subtle signs you're taking your foot off the gas without realizing it Why emotional accumulation creates explosive reactions and burnout How journaling improves emotional awareness and decision-making Why elite performers view mistakes differently than everyone else The real reason boredom shows up when you're succeeding Why most people misdiagnose their own performance problems How to build a reflection process that accelerates growth If you've ever wondered why you keep making the same mistakes, why success sometimes seems to disappear as quickly as it arrived, or why high performers so often sabotage their own momentum, this conversation will change how you think about confidence forever. Time Stamps: 00:00: The hidden success trap that derails high performers after they start winning 3:25: Why success creates a dangerous lag effect most people never see coming 7:41: The subtle signs you're becoming overconfident without realizing it 13:04: Why emotionally "constipated" high performers struggle to reach their potential 20:52: Why boredom is often a warning sign—not a harmless feeling 24:27: Are elite performers addicted to winning... or terrified of losing? 26:07: What happens when your entire identity becomes attached to your results? 33:26: Why your biggest setbacks may be teaching you exactly what you need next 37:01: The mindset shift that separates elite performers from everyone else 41:22: Why solving the mistake is not the same as understanding why it happened 46:38: Why perfectionists struggle to recognize what they're doing well 49:06: Is golf really 90% mental? Jared completely disagrees I help high performers get unstuck and out of their own way to unlock their potential.  Apply for Private 1:1 Coaching: If you're successful on paper but feel misaligned, overwhelmed, or stuck at your next level, private coaching may be the fastest path forward.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (6.1) Conway kicks off the hour with a mission to help a classic Mexican restaurant in L.A., plus the wild story of a 6th grader discovering an 80-million-year-old fossil. Not bad for middle school — most kids are just trying to survive homework. Then the show turns to a scary celebrity security story involving Sabrina Carpenter, who was granted a temporary restraining order after a man allegedly trespassed at her Hollywood Hills home, tried to open her front door, and assaulted a security guard. The protective order also covers her sister Sarah and Sarah’s partner, with court dates coming up in June. Later, Conway and Mark Thompson get ready to head to Engelbert Humperdinck’s concert, but things take a classic Conway turn with a story about getting kicked out of a casino — recently. That leads into a bigger conversation about young people, gambling apps, and the growing issue of sports betting addiction. The hour wraps with the latest on the massive Kimberly-Clark warehouse fire in Ontario, California. The 1.2 million-square-foot distribution center was destroyed in a huge arson fire, and demolition crews are now tearing down what remains.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a pill that's helping some patients with advanced pancreatic cancer live longer.

What if the future of multiple sclerosis treatment could go beyond suppressing inflammation - and actually help protect the brain? In this episode of Rx for Biotech, host Chris Leidli sits down with Jason Tardio, President & COO of Immunic Therapeutics, to discuss the evolving future of treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), one of the most complex autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases affecting millions worldwide. Jason shares his deep experience leading major MS franchises at Biogen and Novartis, explains how MS attacks the brain and spinal cord, and breaks down why many current therapies focus primarily on inflammation but may not fully address the neurodegeneration driving long-term disability. The conversation also explores Immunic's lead investigational therapy, vidofludimus calcium, an oral once-daily treatment being studied in Phase 3 clinical trials for relapsing multiple sclerosis. The company believes the therapy may offer a unique dual approach by targeting both neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Topics discussed include: • What causes multiple sclerosis • Early symptoms and diagnosis of MS • How MRI imaging transformed MS care • Why MS remains difficult to treat • The difference between inflammation and neurodegeneration • Oral therapies vs infusions and injectables • Progressive multiple sclerosis and unmet patient needs • The future of neuroscience, immunotherapy, and personalized medicine For patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and anyone interested in the future of neurology and autoimmune disease treatment, this episode offers an accessible and hopeful look at where MS care may be headed next.

A 13-year-old girl labours in a sealed chamber at Pembroke Castle as the plague circles them. Miraculously, Margaret Beaufort survives. Her son does, too. His name is Henry Tudor. This birth doesn't register in the minds of many nobles, as they're focused on England's first Yorkist King, Edward IV. After his decisive victory at the Battle of Towton, his mission as king is to do what Henry VI couldn't: rebuild a broken kingdom. He solidifies power in concert with his ally, the Earl of Warwick, who fancies himself as a kingmaker. Warwick grows rich on titles, ports, and power, until some say he rules as much as the king. They stamp out a few threats to Edward's rule, but ultimately their mission is to stamp order over the kingdom. The best way to do that is to find England a new Queen. – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. And don't forget to listen to this season's accompanying bonus episodes for this miniseries, where Dan and Producer Al discuss the Earl of Warwick's lust for power, and why the role of matchmaker has been thrust upon him. Plus, Dan gives you a close insight into the social discord of England early on in Edward IV's reign thanks to the Paston Letters — the largest surviving collection of 15th-century private correspondence, written in English between 1422 and 1509. – A Sony Music Entertainment production.

We loved the cinematography of Maul: Shadow Lord so much that it inspired us to go back to our roots and analyze the cinematography of the Star Wars Original Trilogy. We specifically focus on Luke Skywalker in three character-building scenes: the binary sunset from A New Hope, when he meets Yoda in Empire Strikes Back, and when he resists the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. We discuss lighting, costumes, framing, and so much more! We hope you enjoy this deep dive into one of cinema's most iconic characters.Watch our special EXTRA 200th episode for free on our Patreon (it's different from this audio episode): ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/posts/its-our-200th-156470434⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon for as little as $3/month: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/MostThingsKenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠most_things_kenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mostthingskenobi.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MostThingsKenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠most_things_kenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tumblr: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MostThingsKenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Daily Dose of Hope May 25 and 26, 2026   Name of God for May 25  Jehovah-Raah – The Lord My Shepherd Scripture:  Psalm 23:1, 80:1, Genesis 48:15, Ezekiel 34:11-12, John 10:11-14, Revelation 7:17   Name of God for May 26 - Jehovah Mekoddishkem – The Lord Who Sanctifies You Scripture: Exodus 31:13 and Leviticus 20:8.   Prayer:  Holy God, Keep my heart humble and obedient to Your voice. Lead me along the right paths, and fill my cup until it overflows with Your goodness and unfailing love. In Jesus' name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  I'm sorry that the Monday devotional did not get posted.  That was my mistake.  Thus, I'm combining Monday and Tuesday today.  We've been walking through the name of Gods in the Old Testament.  Today we will talk about Jehovah Raah, which means the Lord my Shepherd, and Jehovah Mekoddishkem, which can be translated the Lord who Sanctifies You.   Let's begin with Jehovah Raah the Lord my Shepherd.  Remember Jehovah is the Existing One or Lord. Raah means to shepherd or to feed.  Jehovah Raah is found in Psalm 23:1, in which David declares, The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  David, once a shepherd himself, understood the deep responsibility of caring for his flock. He recognized that, just as sheep are entirely dependent on their shepherd, we are fully dependent on God. Jesus also identified Himself as our Shepherd in John 10:11 saying, I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.  He not only guides us but has given His life to bring us into eternal safety.   Sheep don't think about what they will eat next, there they will lay their head, or even how they will stay safe.  They simply trust their shepherd.  In that same way, Jehovah Raah invites us to trust Him totally and completely.  He knows what we need and He is already making a way for us.  Please know Jesus Christ, our Shepherd, is near and ready to care for us.  He will never leave you.   Jehovah Mekoddishkem is the Lord who Sanctifies.  Mekoddishkem (pronounced mek-uh-DISH-kem) derives from the Hebrew word qâdash meaning "sanctify," "holy," or "dedicate." Sanctification is the separation of an object or person to the dedication of the Holy. When the two words are combined – Jehovah Mekoddishkem – it can be translated as "The Lord who sets you apart" or "The Lord who Sanctifies."    We see this name of God twice in the Old Testament, the first instance in the book of Exodus 31:13, Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: 'Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.'  The institution of the Sabbath was a great instance of God's favor to His people, and a sign that he had distinguished them from all other people.  God, by sanctifying this day among them, let them know that he sanctified them, and set them apart for Himself.   We are to live fully and completely for God, be devoted to Him in every way.  We know sanctification as the lifelong process of becoming like Jesus in our thoughts, actions, and attitudes.  And while we have to participate in our sanctification, we can't accomplish it on our own – we need the power of the Holy Spirit.     Blessings, Pastor Vicki

New Officiating Deal, Real Stakes for Detroit A bright yellow flag hung behind the mic. The NFL just locked in its officials through 2032. The Detroit Lions Podcast dug into what that means and why it matters. No replacement refs are coming. That alone eases memories of the Fail Mary and Golden Tate's contested catch from the last time stand-ins worked games. The agreement adds access and structure. Officials will work more in the offseason at mini camps, training camp, and joint practices. The league plans to build a deeper bench of officials. It will also lean more on performance metrics for postseason assignments instead of seniority. For the Detroit Lions, that points to consistency and accountability in the biggest moments. Postseason Assignments, Grading, and Crew Continuity January football exposes crew chemistry. The league often selects individual officials for playoff crews rather than moving whole units together. That can create communication gaps. New voices. New tendencies. Timing and mechanics change. The show underscored how much smoother it gets when the same group works together repeatedly. Grading is the crux. The metrics that decide who advances remain largely opaque. Jeff and Chris stressed that accountability must be more than a memo. Better evaluations should translate to better assignments. Postseason games also pay more, so strong grades must matter. The deal includes an average 6.4% annual raise for officials. That is a meaningful incentive to refine standards and reward excellence without pretending perfection exists. Why Full-Time Refs Still Are Not the Answer The common call is to make officials full time. The reality is many do not want that. Officiating is not every official's primary income. Examples prove it. Referee Clete Blakeman is an attorney. Umpire Scott Campbell is a professional firefighter. Demanding full-time status would push out skilled people who prefer to keep their careers and still work NFL games. The new framework tries a different route. More reps with teams in the offseason. Clearer paths to the playoffs for those who grade well. More development on a deeper bench. Quick Lions Notes: Schedule Week and Mother's Day Monday's daily DLP arrived with schedule week on deck. The hosts recorded Sunday night after a family-first Mother's Day, a thoughtful moment that framed the show. Now it is back to business. The Detroit Lions will soon see the path to fall. The officiating changes will travel with them. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nflofficiating #replacementrefs #postseasonassignments #performancemetrics #trainingcamp #minicamps #jointpractices #deanblandino Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we're looking at two really interesting articles from Square and Compass Magazine. First up, we'll be reading Anachronisms and Inconsistencies in Masonic Ritual. Have you ever thought in ritual, "Hey, that doesn't make sense?" Well, many have, and we'll explore a few of them. Then, we'll turn to A New Hope for Masonic Education. If Grand Lodges can't provide education in 1937, what can be done to fix this? One answer - Nationalize it! All this and more, stay tuned.  Links: The Secretary Box Teaser wcypodcast.com/secretary-box Skull and Crown Ltd. www.skullandcrownltd.com Craftsman+ FB Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftsmanplus/ WCY Podcast YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/WhenceCameYou Our Patreon www.patreon.com/wcypodcast Support the show on PayPal https://wcypodcast.com/support-the-show Get some swag! https://wcypodcast.com/the-shop Get the book! http://a.co/5rtYr2r
