We want to believe that love will last forever, and perhaps it does. Yet, as imperfect humans, we sometimes let down others—and even ourselves—in ways that sever the trust that is so necessary for lasting, healthy relationships. When we experience the deep pain of betrayal, which can cause immense psychological damage, it can be tough to grieve, heal, and move forward. Betrayal comes in many forms, including sexual infidelity, emotional affairs, and financial deception, yet all involve dishonesty and a lack of integrity. When we turn inward to gently embrace faith, love, and courage, we can find much-needed inner peace and restorative balance. The gift of self-reflection doesn't take away the pain of betrayal, but it can create a wonderous internal transformation that fosters healing and strength. Join Dr. Carla and award-winning expert Noah benShea for a heartfelt dive into the journey of healing from betrayal.

In today's episode of the "Helping Families Be Happy" podcast, host Christopher Robbins, co-founder of Familius publishing, husband, father of nine, author, fisherman, backpacker, and aspirational musician based in the Central Valley of California, talks to Noah benShea, one of North America's most respected and beloved poet philosophers. He has the Pulitzer Prize-nominated and internationally best-selling author of 29 books translated into 18 languages, embraced around the world. Today they will discuss the duality of despair and hope from his most recent book - The Surfer and the Sage: A Guide to Surviving and Ride Life's Waves.   Episode Highlights 02:15: Life is a great party to which you have been invited. Now you have to decide what you want to wear to the party. The first thing to remember is that you get to choose not only from your clothing wardrobe but also from your emotional wardrobe. 02:58: Despair and hope are options that each has in each of their moments. Being filled with despair is not necessarily a flaw. 03:19: Those in the military remind us that hope is not a plan, and they are right. But from hope, a move to the positive can be planned. 03:40: Despair is not designer clothing more is it meant to be worn every day. However hope is a superhero cloak that on the tough days and even on the easy days, can shield you from despair. 06:30: Faith is saying things unseen, hope is hoping to see things unseen. 08:27: There are so many things, and we want to move towards hope. 10:28: As per Noah there is nothing more challenging for us in this lifetime to come to because Aristotle said that honesty is important to all wisdom. 11:45: We are all alone, but we are all alone together when we recognize our own aloneness, we recognize empathetically our aloneness, our brother and sister. 12:50: Remind other people that you hope the best for them and that the best for you will be arriving. 14:47: Noah suggests passing vulnerability to children this way your children will recognize that the strongest person in their life is not absent from vulnerability. 16:16: We are not seeking to solve all problems, but just help people explore ways to improve their lives, and help their families be happy, says Christopher.  3 Key Points Noah gives several real-life examples that give insights into hope and despair. One of the areas where we fall victim to despair is when our ego is in despair, says Noah. Noah talks about mental illness and the importance of seeking medical help in case feeling depressed. Tweetable Quotes "I know there are people for many years I was asked to be a national philosopher, dealing with people in the field of addiction, and one of the things I would remind people that to some people dope is the is the only hope."- Noah benShea "I was thinking about hope versus faith the other day and somebody I think framed it for me and they framed it in a religious sense." - Christopher Robbins "For me, there has been no more profoundly despairing time in my life, and perhaps for those lists they were observing than when you wake up in." - Noah benShea "I don't think there's anything more challenging for us in this lifetime to come to because Aristotle said that honesty is important to all wisdom." - Christopher Robbins Resources Mentioned Helping Families Be Happy Podcast Apple Familius: Instagram Podcast Editing  

In today's episode of the "Helping Families Be Happy" podcast, host Christopher Robbins, co-founder of Familius publishing, husband, father of nine, author, fisherman, backpacker, and aspirational musician based in the Central Valley of California talks to Noah benShea, one of North America's most respected and beloved poet philosophers. He has the Pulitzer Prize-nominated and internationally best-selling author of 29 books translated into 18 languages, embraced around the world. Today they will discuss the duality of anxiety and calm from his most recent book, The Surfer and the Sage, how to survive and ride life waves that he co-wrote with World Champion Surfer Sean. Episode Highlights 01.54. Noah explains what is anxiety and calm? 02.30: If you think that you are going to find any plus in life without a minus or any minus in life for which you cannot find a plus. 02.58: Anxiety is the most common passport people use when they express how they are feeling now. 04.07: Think of anxiety as a balancing poll that will keep you upright on your life board as you witness waves that can threaten to topple you. 04.39: Calm is a word that has been idealized in every religion and teaching across time. Finding that quiet, safe place inside of you is about as good as it gets in life. 05.10: Choose calm when it calms your spirit, but do not choose calm when it robs you of the wild ride you want to remember for the rest of your life. 06.42: You have to decide what you are going to accept from your mind so that you have be able to step outside and realize you don't want to put your mind's thoughts in the driver's seat. 09.19: It is an ancient tradition, that in breath there is calm. 09.27: If you know someone who's going through an anxiety attack. One of the most common manifestations of it is you will witness them being unable to breathe. 11.13: Conspiring usually means people planning a robbery, but it really means people breathing together. 13.01: Noah talks about the 478 technique of breathing and how it works.  3 Key Points What people seldom realize is that anxiety is not necessarily negative. Don't give anxiety too much of your attention because anxiety isn't a boost, but a caution and anxiety won't improve your future. Noah talks about the ancient connection of breathing techniques and how it is mentioned in the bible as well. Tweetable Quotes "It was clear to us that we had to write on any topic on the duality of it, because life seems to be coming and going at the same time." - Noah "The word anxious can by itself make you feel anxious." - Christopher "I remind people that the issue of being shamed by anxiety because you are so taught and tense about what is happening is a reminder that it is not an act of character to beat yourself up because you did something wrong." – Noah "I have a reminder when I say my prayers in the morning, I say to God I take your breath and I return your breath." - Noah Resources Mentioned Helping Families be Happy Podcast Apple Podcast Editing Get the book: HERE

In his book, Jacob the Baker: Gentle Wisdom For a Complicated World, Jewish poet-philosopher, scholar and theologian, Noah BenShea, writes, “Either the key to a man's wallet is in his heart, or the key to a man's heart is in his wallet.  So, unless you express your charity, you are locked inside your greed.”  Did you hear that?  Unless you express your charity, unless you live generously by giving of what you have to others, you are locked inside, you are imprisoned in your greed!  Wow!!  I think Jesus would have liked what BenShea has to say because Jesus also has something to say about greed.  Today, we hear Jesus tell us, “Take care!  Be on your guard against all kinds of greed.”  Today, Jesus takes us to a place where most of us do not want to go as he draws us into a conversation about money.  Quite frankly, talking about money makes us uncomfortable as individuals, uncomfortable within the context of our faith communities, and causes great anxiety.  Many of us learn from a very early age that conversations about money are taboo.  Avoiding such a conversation is one of those unspoken rules in our culture.  We find it very uncomfortable to talk about the amount of money we make, the amount of money we tightly hold on to, the amount of money we hold in investments, the amount of money we have as disposable income, the amount of money we pay in taxes, and the amount of money we give away.  Well, today, Jesus breaks this unspoken rule and takes us into territory of the taboo as he talks about money.  Today, Jesus exposes human greed and anxiety about money, and he uses his famous teaching tool, a parable, to burn away any illusion we may have that a godly life is synonymous with our American ideals of prosperity and success.   Quite frankly, Jesus talked more about our relationship with money and our possessions more than almost any other topic, and today is one example.  The writer of Luke's gospel tells us Jesus is with a crowd of people and he is teaching.  He is approached by a man who asks him to arbitrate an inheritance dispute he is having with his brother.  A family feud is set before him, and Jesus opts out of getting involved in the squabble.  Instead, he uses the opportunity to talk about money and a right relationship with money.  Jesus tells a story that has become known as the Parable of the Rich Fool.  Now, it is important to recognize that the man in this parable is not portrayed as particularly wicked.  He is not defined as one whose wealth was gained by illegal means.  He is not one of those despised tax collectors and he has not stolen anything.  From the little we do know about him, we can surmise that he became wealthy by the sweat of his brow, by very honest means.  He is a farmer, and his land has produced immense harvests.  Truthfully, his decision to save for the future by building bigger barns does not seem all that unreasonable.  He simply needs space for his abundant harvest.  So, I must ask, what is wrong with saving for a rainy day? Well, the truth is there is nothing wrong with saving for a rainy day.  This rich fool's foolishness is not necessarily about his plan to build a bigger barn.  His foolishness has everything to do with his heart!  His foolishness is all about the relationship he has with his money and possessions.  Did you happen to notice the dialogue this man is having with himself?  If we take a deeper look at the inner conversation going on within this man, it becomes rather enlightening.  He says, “What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?  I will do this.  I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.  And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.'”  Did you notice the hubris, the focus on self, the attention and emphasis on the me, the importance of the “I”?  As Episcopalian priest Anjel Scarborough points out, “In this short internal dialog, consisting of approximately 60 words, the man uses 11 references to himself with the personal pronouns ‘I' and ‘my'.  If we add to this the words that reference ‘soul' and ‘you' as part of that inner dialog about himself, then we have 22 percent of the words in this short passage talking about, well, ‘me.'”  Yes, it is all about him.  Everything revolves around him!  You see, this rich fool's foolishness has everything to do with his heart.  Here we get a glimpse of this man's spiritual illness.  As my colleague says, “This man is all about the unholy trinity of me, myself, and I.  There are no references at all to others – not to family, friends, or those in need, and certainly no references to God.  He is under the mistaken belief that all this wealth is his:  it is his possession, it is in his control, and he lives with the delusion that he alone produced this wealth.”  This man has much money, but the key to his heart is in his wallet and his heart is spiritually, morally, and ethically bankrupt! Well, that is not the end of the story.  His narcissistic perspective is not his only delusion.  The other delusion that truly distorts this man's relationship with his wealth is brought to light when God addresses him.  God says, “You fool!  This very night your life is being demanded of you.  And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?”  Oh my!  Here we get to something that is so important, something that none of us want to face.  Here we get to the heart of what is really true about life, and that is the stark reality of death.  It is here where the truth is revealed.  You see, when we face this ultimate reality, we soon discover that no amount of wealth or possessions can save us from our own finitude.  This man will die.  We will die.  And, you know what?  Death is the great equalizer because, when we die, our net worth in dollars is really zero!  And nothing, no matter how hard we try, can prevent our death.  With death we discover all that we have, all that we own, all our striving to make it to the top – all of these are temporal and none of these things are of ultimate worth.  None of these things will save us.  Theologian, David Schlafer, when talking about today's gospel reading and our relationship as a community of faith with money, shares these words of wisdom:  Money serves as a kind of thermostat for issues of anxiety and control within our congregations.  As the work of Edwin Friedman and Peter Steinke on family systems illustrates, money matters often reveal the true heart of a church organization, as well as of our individual households.  Money is always about more than money.  Our spending, our saving, and our general attitude toward material wealth are all invested with emotions and memories.  A capacity to trust in God can deepen only as other matters lessen their grip in our lives.  Today's Gospel text sets that reality before us in the starkest terms.  (Feasting on the Word, p. 312) Our money and possessions are not going to save us.  Yet, while we know this in our heads, our hearts have a difficult time believing this.  Our anxiety over money issues controls us and determines our actions and the way we live as stewards of all that we have been given.  We are anxious about our jobs, about our retirement and the way a bi-polar stock market effects our 401(k)'s, about putting our kids through school, about paying all our bills, about inflation, and so much more.  As we look at our anxieties regarding money, do you see how they are all focused on the self?  This internal focus on self becomes one in which the key to our hearts is in our wallets and we become imprisoned in our anxieties and our greed.  As Christians, we are called to shift our attention and emphasis away from the small, vain, egocentric self and focus outward by living into a radical trust in God.  When that happens, we view wealth very differently.  In fact, we begin to see that our money and possessions are not really ours at all.  They all belong to God.  All that we have and all that we are comes from God and really is only on loan.  God invites us into a life that is greater than our anxious fear over things that have no ultimate worth.  God invites us into a deeper relationship with God's very self and with each other.  God invites us into the eternal economy of God's grace, mercy, and love – the immeasurable love we see exhibited in the self-emptying life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  In Jesus, we see the very heart of God, and that is where we find the ultimate and lasting treasure – the key that unlocks our hearts so we can live for others, the key that enables us to live lives that are rich toward God.

In today's episode of the “Helping Families Be Happy” podcast, host Christopher Robins, Co-founder of Familius publishing, husband, father of nine, author, fisherman, backpacker, and aspirational musician based in the Central Valley of California talks with guest Noah BenShea, North America's most respected and beloved Poet/Philosophers, Pulitzer Prize-nominated, and international Best-Selling author of 28 books translated into 18 languages. They explore the principles of successful living from Noah's most recent book – The Surfer and the Sage: A Guide to Survive and Ride Life's Waves co-authored with world champion surfer - Shaun Tomson.   Episode Highlights 01:37 – Christopher says, it's interesting to think that a real champion Surfer Co-authored a book with a world-famous Poet. 03:50 – Poetry in many regards is the business of putting a frame around a moment around a witness that you give to a moment that might otherwise pass unnoticed, unknown, says Noah  05:38 – Noah shares, what he learned about life through his experience with Shaun, and the parallels that exist with the ocean and with waves in the surfing. 08:10 – Shaun spends more time in the water than he spends typing, and Noah spends more time typing than being on a surfboard, says Noah. 12:02 – Christopher reads a section of the book – “When there are storms overhead, drop down into your mind ocean and ride the waves under your waves, the calm in your storm is the calm within you, your calm is calmly waiting, your calm is not at a distance from you unless you are at a distance from you.” 14:45 – Noah says, finding that calm inside of you is first recognizing that if you're in a state of turmoil. The turmoil is yours, and the disquiet is yours. 16:20 - Your working life is who you are and how you conduct yourself with you, says Noah. 18:42 – Noah mentions, that life is a gift, and prayer is a thank-you note. Write thank-you notes, and send those thank-you notes out.  20:02 – Noah states, that the only company that we can be assured of on that journey is ourselves. 22:35 – Before Noah gets to his prayers during his meditation is that he imagines that he is a prequel to himself. 24:55 – Noah's feeling is that each of us is a time machine, and in our memory, we can go backward in time. In our imagination, we can go forward in time, but the only place you can steer your time machine is in the now. 26:55 - In working with Shaun there were times in a story that he would tell about loss, but he wanted to be wise enough to be silent, states Noah   Three Key Points One of the real strengths of this book is that at the very cost of anything else both Shaun and Noah wanted to bring honesty and candor. Just two straight-ahead guys who are a little further down the trail than a lot of other people in life perhaps, and bring that to it. So, to Shaun the ocean of the idea of a wave rising or waves falling, catching a wave or missing your wave, or the idea that you're not a drop in the sea, you are all the drops in the sea in a philosophic sense was very easy and a comfortable fit for him. While they both spoke about doing this book, Shaun was the one who decided that he (Guest) would be the sage in this book. You're not in charge, what you are in charge of is you. What the world delivers to your doorstep each morning isn't your responsibility, your responsibility is your reaction to it, and it's calming to the soul. When you realize that your sole responsibility is who you are and how you conduct yourself. That's the only thing you're in charge of for the moment and in the moment. Your working life is not what you do, but who you are and that's in the book. So, our work in life is oftentimes making us self-important.  In the same way, as we leave the woods behind, we leave the boat behind, and we leave the river behind. We wander through where we are in that moment, and the only company that you can be assured of on that journey is yourself. So, it would be wise to be good company to that company on that journey. Our ability to be good company with others is premised on our ability to be good company with ourselves.    Tweetable Quotes “A poet's work is not always writing poetry but discovering poetry and putting the appropriate silence on both sides of it.” - Noah BenShea “Feelings are like tides, they come and go, and not to get too attached to your feelings or don't confuse how you feel with who you are.” - Noah BenShea “All courage happens on a private scale on a private stage.” - Noah BenShea “You can't like others if you don't like yourself, you can't love others if you don't love yourself.” - Noah BenShea “People don't do things to you; they do things for them.” - Noah BenShea “Self-pity is the worst way to discover self.” - Noah BenShea “The two great days in a person's life are - the day they are born and the day they know why they're born.” - Noah BenShea   Resources Mentioned The Surfer and the Sage Book Noah BSenShea: Website Podcast Editing

Hebrew is made from 22 consonants, 10 vowels, and nothing more. It’s the nothing more that makes the difference. Be silent The breadth and depth in life The Sabbath, which creates the notion of time. A pause between days to realize the sanctity in moments. The best way to get where you're going is to be where you are In gratitude find prayer, in prayer find faith, in faith find peace, in peace find gratitude. Any Peace in life is its own blessing and any Blessing that does not bring you peace is no blessing Repeating things to be grateful for Life is a gift, prayer is a thank you note Gratitude is the portal to prayer Honor what you're doing and watch at it transforms.

People told me I reminded them of him, that my book The Mosaic reminded them of his book, Jacob the Baker I have loved our correspondence and Noah's brilliance, wit and kindness and it is with pleasure that I welcome him to: Here is what you will hear in this podcast interview:   the humble beginnings to a beautiful life that planted the seeds of greatness in him and the grace of humility the beautiful feeling of how loved he felt growing up with his parents. an interesting view of reincarnation the moment bwtween Christmas and New Years Eve when he was watching the great business guru Peter Drucker on PBS and the question Peter asked that made him feel like he was sitting with a Zen Master what he feels his work truly is his counsel on how to be a source of strength to people when you live on a ball spinning 160,000 miles an hour you will lose your balance sometimes. how do we deal with that? self abusive vs. self accountable if you were to treat every person as the savior it wouldn't make any difference if they were the savior or not. and the evolution of his character, Jacob the Baker and how the book came to be written. how he started a bakery thinking it would be fun, but it turned out to be much more, it became a big success. play the part not the result and what that means when he told me the story of his book, Jacob the Baker, I realized why people said I reminded them of him. Jacob the Baker could be right out of The Mosaic. what is the magic behind playing the part that brings success as you look at it now in retrospect. the knowledge he received when he was invited to give so many talks was not to carry the bag of his knowledge with him but rather the understanding needed to hear the truth he was to be aware of his deafness, to see the truth to become aware of his blindness to know wisdom to realize his ignorance. the feeling of being blessed and still needing to find his way what does the story behind his story say that he has never been able to say the journey of birth, death and learning the biggest surprise he experienced in his life. hear him explain this. the beauty of real humor and how he loves to laugh what is the one thing he would recommend we do to make this the world we want to give to our children and our children's children.
