It's not about what happens to us, but what we're building in response.Are you building or breaking your will?Are your emotions in the driver's seat—or your vision?Are you preparing for life's trials or simply reacting to them?Are you trying to force something that's not your gift?How do you respond when control slips from your hands?Remember we EXIST for more, we're here to OFFER more, Don't EVER give up, every single one of us are Made4More. 

Catholic men — it's time to wake up.The battle is real, and it's personal. Welcome to Part 3 of the Daily Grind with Go.d If you're not actively fighting for your soul, your wife's, and your children's, you're losing ground. This is not a game.

To take spiritual warfare seriously. To stop blaming everyone else and start owning your mission as a man, husband, and father. I talk about the realities of hell, the lies of the world, and how most men are spiritually passive while pretending they're doing enough. Spoiler: we're not.I walk through my own moments of cowardice; not to beat myself up, but to show that if we don't face the hard truth, we'll never change. I also offer a clear battle plan: Confession, the Rosary, fasting, sacramentals, and brotherhood. You need a weapon in one hand and a rosary in the other.Attend the Silent Retreat in Grand Rapids, MI!

Ethan Kross, author of Shift: Managing Your Emotions So They Don't Manage You, explains how teens and parents can become adept at emotional regulation, manage upsetting feelings effectively, and develop healthier responses to life's challenges.Full Show NotesEmotional regulation—the ability to manage and shift our feelings—has huge implications for everyone, especially teenagers. It's a life skill that might just make the difference between thriving or struggling in adulthood. Teens understandably grapple with heightened emotions and can sometimes feel controlled by them rather than the other way around. But what if we could teach them how to manage their emotions and build resilience early on?The effects of emotional dysregulation can be major: kids who struggle with this skill are more likely to face substance abuse, school dropout, and even criminal behavior as they grow older. Meanwhile, teens who are skilled at managing their emotional states tend to excel academically, professionally, and have healthier relationships overall. The good news is that emotion regulation is a learnable and teachable skill, with far-reaching positive effects if mastered during adolescence.In this episode, we're joined once again by Ethan Kross, award-winning professor, renowned researcher, and author of the new book Shift: Managing Your Emotions So They Don't Manage You. Ethan has dedicated his career to unpacking the mystery of our emotional worlds, blending cutting-edge research with practical, actionable insights. As both a scientist and a parent of a teen himself, Ethan understands deeply how crucial it is to arm our kids (and ourselves!) with simple yet powerful emotional regulation strategies.In our conversation, Ethan shares eye-opening findings, common misconceptions, and accessible, effective tools for parents who want to raise emotionally intelligent and resilient teenagers.Why Emotional Regulation Matters for TeensEmotion impacts every aspect of a teen's daily life—friendships, schoolwork, athletics, and family relationships. Despite its importance, emotional skills are often overlooked, leaving kids unequipped to manage powerful feelings. Ethan reveals eye-opening research, from classic experiments to recent ground-breaking studies, that clearly connect teens' successes and setbacks later in life to how well they can manage their emotional states.Ethan emphasizes that there are no "bad" emotions—anger, sadness, anxiety all serve valuable evolutionary purposes. Rather than suppressing these feelings, Ethan offers strategies to help teens learn to tune into their emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. He also tackles the "myth of universal approach," noting that always facing or always avoiding tough feelings isn't the right solution—teens must learn flexibility instead.Teaching Teens Practical Ways to Shift Their EmotionsSo how can parents and educators tangibly equip teens with emotional regulation skills? Ethan shares practical interventions from research that really work. For example, understanding how our surroundings influence our emotional states empowers teens to strategically modify their spaces to feel less anxious or stressed. Ethan discusses how teens can make small changes, like placing items or images in their environment that effectively boost their mood and sense of calm.He also explains broader methods, like the proven WOOP framework (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan). WOOP is essentially an easy-to-use reference for teens (and adults) when emotions inevitably flare up. Ethan breaks down how parents can talk teens through this process, helping them clearly define how they want to act during difficult times—rather than becoming reactive or impulsive.Subtle (and Powerful) Ways to Help TeensSometimes offering too much direct help can backfire, causing teens to feel disempowered or defensive. Ethan reveals research that shows invisible support—the kind teens don't realize you're giving—can play a huge role in helping them build regulation skills. He's sharing small shifts, like subtly introducing conversations around emotional techniques or quietly removing stressors in the family routine, that greatly improve teens' emotional balance and confidence.We also dive deep into how teens can use sensory influences like music and smells to modify their emotions deliberately, and the importance of shifting self-talk—from a self-focused, blaming style to one that feels more empathetic and empowering.In the Episode...Ethan's extensive knowledge and relatable advice offer invaluable guidance for parents hoping to raise emotionally resilient kids. In addition to the topics above, we also discuss:How to help teens view intense emotions as temporary and manageableThe specific connection between pronouns and processing breakupsWhy avoidance can sometimes be a surprisingly helpful strategyHow shifting language perspective (like using your own name when talking to yourself) can rapidly lower distressDon't miss this enlightening conversation with Ethan Kross, where science meets practical parenting strategies.

Preparing His Bride | May 10, 2025 Your Christian journey is not meant to be a casual religious experience but a profound transformation into the very nature of Christ. This transformation requires more than knowledge; it demands intentional, intimate fellowship with the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit. ## The Call to True Fellowship You were created for deep, unbroken fellowship with God—not as a distant follower, but as one who shares His nature. When Scripture speaks of fellowship with the Father and the Son, it describes a state of being where you express Christ rather than yourself. The Holy Spirit never speaks of Himself but always reveals Christ—this is the pattern you are called to follow. The world has created civilizations designed to shape you into its image. Similarly, God's Spirit creates His own civilization within you, conforming you to the image of Christ. Your responsibility is to choose which civilization will govern your being. ## The Obstacle of Divided Attention Many believers today live with divided hearts. Digital distractions, social media, and worldly pursuits have quietly replaced the conscious awareness of the Holy Spirit's presence. These modern "oracles" captivate your soul and deposit foreign seeds that compete with the seed of Christ. Unlike the prophets who separated themselves to be tutored by God, you may be trying to follow Christ while remaining firmly planted in the world's ways. This divided attention prevents the complete work of transformation the Spirit desires to accomplish in you. ## The Path of Transformation True transformation comes only when you see Christ as He truly is. "We know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." This sight doesn't come easily—it requires: 1. **Following without compromise**: Like Elisha who refused to leave Elijah's side, you must follow the Spirit persistently, even when He leads to places of death to self. 2. **Crossing your Jordan**: The Spirit will lead you to places where your flesh must die. It is only after crossing this river of death to self that the revelation of Christ becomes possible. 3. **Allowing mortification**: The Holy Spirit must kill what is dead in you before quickening your mortal body. "If the Spirit of Him who raised Christ from the dead dwells in you, He will also give life to your mortal bodies." 4. **Singular focus**: "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness." Nothing else deserves your primary attention. The seed of Christ must be the only seed you nurture. ## The Cosmic Significance Your transformation is not merely personal—it affects all creation. Just as cosmic events surrounded Christ's death and resurrection, your development into Christ's image impacts the physical world around you. "The whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs...waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God." When one person—Noah, Joshua, or Christ—walked in complete alignment with God, their actions affected the sun, moon, waters, and earth itself. Your transformation has similar significance in God's plan for creation. ## The Divine Invitation You have within you both the spirit of Christ and the Holy Spirit—a double portion of divine enablement. This is not for your glory but for God's purpose: that Christ would be revealed through you. The Father and Son invite you into their fellowship, where you can know and express Christ as He truly is. This fellowship doesn't happen accidentally—it requires intentional submission to the Spirit's leadership, allowing Him to reveal Christ in ways that transform you from within. Stop living with a divided heart. Abandon the competing seeds that distract you from Christ. Follow the Spirit wherever He leads, even through death to self. Then you will see Christ as He is and be transformed into His image—the ultimate purpose of your creation and redemption.

Keith Rohrer | Apr 27 2025 Jesus is not just for one group of people, one type of people, or one country of people. Jesus is the offered Savior for ALL people. In order to save all kinds of people from everywhere and anywhere, God uses people just like us. Regular people. But regular people all have flaws, some of which can be obstacles to God using us for this great work. If He first needs to do some Holy Spirit surgery in us, will it be welcomed, or refused? How we answer that question may depend on our answer to this one: How important is God's mission? And maybe also to this one: How important is it that God use me for His mission?

The White Lotus season finale aired Sunday, titled "Amor Fati"—and without giving away any spoilers, it served as a powerful reminder of a timeless philosophy: to love one's fate.

Sweeping new tariffs are causing sharp economic ripple effects, with stock valuations dropping last week and Americans bracing for renewed inflation. This shift creates both new risks and opportunities for real estate investors—especially passive LPs evaluating upcoming deals. Amid this uncertainty, bond yields and mortgage rates are falling fast—a welcome shift for GPs grappling with bridge loans or variable-rate debt. The question LP investors must ask themselves now is: how do I protect my portfolio during downturns like this AND jump on opportunities coming down the pipeline? To help answer, we brought on J Scott. He's been investing in real estate for decades, with more experience in multifamily and single-family than most. J shares how tariffs could influence multifamily real estate and their broader economic implications. From mortgage rates to US dollar dominance, rent growth risks, and more, he gives his up-to-date view and reveals his strategy on what he's doing now to protect his capital without taking on unnecessary risk.  Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.
