Proverbs 4:23, "Above all else, guard your heart, for it determines the course of your life!" This divine exhortation penetrates to the very core of Christian living. The "heart" in Scripture is not merely the seat of emotion, but the center of a person's being--the mind, will, affections, and conscience. It is from the heart that all of our thoughts arise, all of our choices are made, and all of our desires take shape. Therefore, to guard the heart is to diligently watch over the whole inner man, to protect it from corruption, and to keep it fixed on what is holy and true. Solomon, under the inspiration of the Spirit, gives this command, "above all else!" This signals its supreme importance. The external life, cannot rise above the internal condition. Outward behavior is the fruit; the heart is the root. As Jesus declared, "Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12:34). If the fountain is polluted, the stream will be defiled. If the heart is impure, so will be the thoughts, words, and actions. Why must the heart be so closely guarded? Because it is constantly under attack--from the world, the flesh, and the devil. Satan knows that if he can gain entrance to the heart, he can influence the whole course of life. Therefore, the believer must post a sentinel at every gate--what we see, what we hear, what we dwell upon in secret thought. We must take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ! (2 Corinthians 10:5) To guard the heart is not a call to stoicism, but to spiritual vigilance. It means . . . treasuring what is pure, meditating on God's Word, delighting in Christ, confessing sin promptly, and depending moment by moment

Outwardly, it would appear that the emerging generation are outwardly blessed with affluence, education, technology, safety, security, and health in ways and in levels that no generation before them has ever experienced. Nevertheless, they are inwardly wasting away.A chapter-a-day podcast from 2 Corinthians 4. The text version may be found and shared at tomvanderwell.com.

Outward Wines is one of the most thrilling, "new wave" wineries to emerge from California's Central Coast, with a style that's focused on energetic, fun-to-drink wines, while still delivering the unique expressions of site specificity. The simultaneous ease and seriousness that define Ryan and Natalie are also reflected in their wines. Maybe it's more like a sense of confidence derived from competence; for example, their Chenin Blanc doesn't scream Chenin Blanc, but then at once, it is precisely Chenin. There is reward in paying attention to Outward wines beyond that first, pleasureful sip, and spending a few minutes listening here to Natalie and Ryan is similarly rewarding. Enjoy, and thank you for listening!

What do strawberries and perfectionism have to do with each other? Well if you wanna find out you'll have to listen to this weeks podcast episode or watch it on YouTube. I promise it's not clickbait I really do talk about strawberries and it's not silly, it's totally relatable and probably helpful too. Do you struggle with perfectionism? I actually don't when it comes to photography and that's kind of a blessing because it's allowed me to ship the work and not get too bogged down in the minor details. For most of you though, I would say it's probably an issue as photography seems to attract that kind of personality. I wish there was a study I could sight here on the topic because I do think that overwhelmingly perfectionism is a HUGE barrier for a lot of artists. Choose Your Own Perfectionist Adventure In my experience with the perfectionists it usually takes form in one of two ways. I'm interested to know if you agree or suffer from one or the other or god forbid both…you poor thing, please watch the above video. Inward perfectionismThis one is what my husband has and what I would say most people I talk to have. This is the type of perfectionism that is totally driven by your high standards of yourself. You aren't so much bothered by others thoughts about the work or art it's more about how you feel towards the effort and execution. You can't be happy unless YOU feel it's done to your standard and even if someone else gives you high acclaim or says they love it you just dwell on the 1% of it that could have been improved or the tiny little mistake you made that no one even noticed but you do and it's literally killing you. I do not have this one iota. I don't think that anything is made better by being perfect and I think perfect is bullshit and it's boring. So maybe that's why? I also wasn't brought up in any way to excel or succeed, which sometimes is to my detriment but most of the time I think it's made me proud of an effort and not scared to just share it regardless of its perhaps need for more polish or practise. I also find the search for “perfect” or the goal of it to be extremely futile and irrational and therefore a waste of my time from an efficiency point of view, as well as a happiness one too! So this kind of perfectionism is from within and points to the need for some self reflection and discovery. If this is you, look into why that is something you struggle with and how you can try to omit it from your process. Outward perfectionism I see this as something that I could possibly align with more than the first one. This type is more focused on the publics view or how others perceive your work or output as being “perfect” or celebrated. This probably veers into other territory beyond perfectionism but I think it's a form of it because it can hold you back from doing things for fear of not being seen as perfect by others. The worry that if we share our work or ideas people won't like them or they will ridicule and criticise us leading us to believe that the work wasn't good enough and therefore we should have tried harder etc. - this is where the perfectionism trait can enter because we now lose confidence and start to dwell on projects and procrastinate and these are by products of perfectionism. If I'm not super in love with something I put out, but lots of people seem to like it, then I kind of think it's okay… I'm swayed by them or at least boosted up by it and I then don't feel so bad about the piece. This is very contrary to the above type which all hinges on whether or not you yourself deem the work as “good enough”. Both are equally challenging and dangerous if we don't know how to control them. The online world loves to present a perfect picture of things - an easy win, a quick hack, a beautifully curated life in little squares or whatever aspect ratio IG grids are now…It loves to show you the snippet and the salacious section that will either shock or make you envious. It's important to understand this because it's very likely that even the richest, most together, most happy looking people will have or do struggle with some type of idea of perfect they can't meet. Letting go of perfect might be a lifelong battle but I think if we start by recognising how our perfectionism takes form and why, we can start to engineer a few strategies to lesson and mitigate it. Hopefully this weeks letter paired with the podcast/video will help you to kick stat this. If you are totally free from perfectionism let us know below and share some tips if you'v struggled with this before. I'm being very open this year about how I cope and what I go through as a modern creative so please feel free to do the same, or just quietly enjoy these weekly episodes and take what is valuable to you from them.

Welcome to Day 2600 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2600 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 55:20-23 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2600 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2600 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, I'll guide you on this trek through God's Word, exploring truths that can transform our lives, one step at a time. Thank you for joining me today as we conclude our thoughtful journey through Psalm 55. Today, we're focusing on the closing verses—Psalm 55:20-23. Throughout this Psalm, we've seen David pour out his heart in deep anguish over betrayal, yet he continually turns his eyes toward God, reaffirming his trust. These final verses bring clarity to the nature of David's pain, highlight God's justice, and encourage us toward authentic trust, even when life feels confusing and painful. Let's read Psalm 55:20-23 from the New Living Translation together: 20 As for my companion, he betrayed his friends; he broke his promises. 21 His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers! 22 Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. 23 But you, O God, will send the wicked down to the pit of destruction. Murderers and liars will die young, but I am trusting you to save me. The Pain of Personal Betrayal (Verses 20-21) David begins this final portion by vividly describing the nature of his deep emotional pain: “As for my companion, he betrayed his friends; he broke his promises. His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!” In these verses, David pinpoints the source of his distress: betrayal by someone close—a trusted companion. It's essential to recognize the intensity here. David isn't simply troubled by enemy armies or hostile nations. Instead, the most profound pain comes from within his own circle, from someone he had fully trusted. In ancient Israelite culture, friendship was sacred. Covenants, promises, and trust formed the very fabric of relationships, binding families, tribes, and communities. To betray those bonds wasn't just hurtful—it was deeply shameful, destructive, and dishonorable. David emphasizes this betrayal vividly: “His words are smooth as butter, but in his heart is war.” Externally, this person appeared loyal, kind, supportive—even comforting. Internally, however, he harbored destructive intent, ready to strike at the first opportunity. David uses another striking image: “His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!” Outward charm masks inward deceit, making the betrayal especially painful. Historically, scholars often associate Psalm 55 with Ahithophel's betrayal. Ahithophel was David's wise counselor, highly respected and trusted. But when David's son Absalom rebelled, Ahithophel switched allegiance. This personal betrayal deeply wounded David, prompting this painful,...

They explore what Shakespeare, Milton, and other writers had to say about gender, how history challenges today's assumptions about transition, and why the right-wing war on trans people gets the past all wrong.
