John sits down with Dr. Abbie Maroño to discuss imposter syndrome, social media pressure, and finding your personal True North. Dr. Abbie shares her journey from becoming a professor at just 23 to working with organizations including the FBI and U.S. Secret Service. She also talks about her books, Work in Progress: The Road to Empowerment, The Journey Through Shame and The Upper Hand: Mastering Persuasion and Getting What You Want with the Science of Social Engineering, and explains why being open about our mistakes can actually make us more relatable and trustworthy. About Dr. Abbie Maroño: Dr. Abbie Maroño is a keynote speaker, behavioral scientist, and author, specializing in trust, influence, and nonverbal communication. She is known for challenging conventional thinking and translating complex behavioral science into practical insights that audiences can immediately understand and apply. Her interest in human behavior did not begin in a classroom. Growing up in an unstable and traumatic home, she learned early that no one was coming to save her. At 16, she faced a choice no child should have to make: continue down a path of addiction or fight for a different future. She chose the latter. That decision sparked a lifelong fascination with why people make the choices they do and how understanding human behavior can change the course of a life. ​Earning her PhD in Psychology, Dr Abbie became a Professor of Psychology at just 23 years old. She was later recognized by the U.S. Department of State for extraordinary ability in behavioral science and named one of Central Florida's 40 Under 40 by the Orlando Business Journal. She is the creator of The Upper Hand, a proprietary framework focused on trust, influence, communication, and decision-making. Dr Abbie has trained representatives from 29 U.S. federal agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security, as well as senior leadership at INTERPOL. The U.S. Secret Service also recognized her contributions with an award for outstanding contribution to their forensic services. As a bestselling author, TEDx speaker, Forbes contributor, Court TV contributor, and media commentator, her work has been featured on BBC News, Fox News, WIRED, Reuters, Forbes Breaking News, Apple News, and many more outlets. She also provides expert witness services in matters involving behavioral analysis, nonverbal communication, and human behavior, including high-profile civil and criminal cases.

"There's just some things that nobody should know. People don't need to know every little detail about our lives." "We don't need to hide ourselves, but we don't need to overshare everything." "Each of us has to have a true north, something that we can hold on to, no matter what. So that when those voices get loud, it's like that we can find a way to at least quiet them down a little bit, and then refocus that true north, so that we can continue to head in the direction we need to be heading." "Let people show you who they are and decide if that's enough for you. Stop trying to convince people that you're worth enough and that you deserve to be in their life, and they deserve to be in yours. Just let people be who they are." "We need principles to ground us when the money is coming in, when the work is going well, when everybody's looking at you like you're the best. It's so easy to lose sight of yourself. Money comes and goes so fast, and fame and success come and go so fast. If you don't have something to ground you, you're gonna falter." "Always remember, you're never as good as they say you are, and you're never as sad as they say you are. You're somewhere in the middle." "You can have very little and be so much happier than someone with everything. It's how you live in your head that determines how peaceful your life is." "When you find your bubble of happiness, you build an impenetrable bubble. You don't let outside words come in. You don't let outside perspectives come in. You protect that little bubble of happiness." "Pain is a prerequisite for purpose. You have to go through it. You don't bypass it. You don't ignore it. You don't pretend it doesn't exist, and you don't numb it. You have to work through it. That's how you get to purpose." "If you don't understand how someone can treat another person like that, it's a blessing." "If you can find something that brings you joy, don't let the world tell you you need all this other stuff. You don't need all this other stuff. It's great to have, but you don't need it to feel complete, and you don't need it to feel at peace."

You've spent years learning everything there is to know about your chronic illness. The books, the podcasts, the research. And somewhere in there, you started to believe that if you just understood your body well enough, it would finally heal.But healing has never been connected to the speed you learn. For women carrying chronic illness and autoimmune conditions, the body only repairs once it feels safe — and all that researching, all that searching for answers, is often one of the emotional patterns keeping it on alert instead. This mini is about why more information may be the thing keeping you stuck.In this mini, you'll discover:Why understanding your illness and healing your body are two completely different thingsHow the constant researching may be keeping your body in the exact state it can't heal fromOne question this week that tells you whether an input is calming your body or keeping it activatedFREE CHATGPT PROMPTClick here to download my FREE ChatGPT prompt that helps connect your real physical symptoms to the emotional patterns that may be underneath them in 30 seconds!For women navigating Chronic Illness, Autoimmune Disease, IBS, Digestive Disorders, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Pain, PCOS, and Endometriosis.

How can speaking to God in a new way invite us into a deeper way of seeing and hearing from Him? What role can poetry play in helping us communicate with our Creator?For pastor and author Tyler Staton, the words penned on a page during his cancer journey were never intended for anyone but himself and the Lord. Yet he discovered that the way he communed with God through scribbles in a tattered notebook offered a powerful invitation for all of us—to notice God's presence in both the ordinary moments and the difficult circumstances of our lives. Paired with Scripture, Tyler's book, After Amen: 50 Days of Poetry and Prayer, explores the beautiful intersection of poetry and prayer, offering a meaningful way to examine our lives while paying closer attention to God's presence within them.In this episode, Davey and Tyler discuss how we can better recognize God in the everyday, why it is so important to grieve our losses, and the role spiritual practices play in carrying us into the presence of God amid our pain.If you've ever struggled to find the words to speak to God, this conversation offers an invitation into the creative and poetic language that can help you feel seen, understood, and accompanied in your suffering.

We all have hard seasons.Stages where the ground on which we stand seems to crumble, nothing seems to be in our favor and the winter seems endless.To know pain, to endure suffering and to feel as though the trial will never end is to be fully human. And to become most intimate with life itself.“A bad day for the ego is a great day for the soul”, though.From what I can tell—and who truly knows the way the world works—that which appears to unmake us is the very season that rebuilds us.Our pain, in truth, becomes a purifier. Difficulty softens us, unmasks us and opens us—allowing the gifts of wisdom, humility and patience to become our new way of being.My latest book “The Wealth Money Can't Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I'm absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

What should you do when Achilles tendon pain comes back after you thought it was better? In this episode, we listen in on a real strategy call with a runner who had Achilles tendinosis for years, improved after treatment, returned to running, and then had the pain flare again after hill training. The key lesson is that the next step is not guessing which treatment might work. The next step is figuring out exactly how severe the problem is, what activities trigger it, and what information you need to make a smart decision about running, treatment, and recovery. If you have Achilles pain that keeps coming back, this episode will help you think more clearly about what to track, what to avoid, and how to build a better plan.

Morgan is diving into the energy of Persephone this week, going far beyond her myth. This episode explores what Persephone can actually teach you about shadow work, personal power, and moving through the hardest seasons of your life. Morgan breaks down three distinct energetic lessons Persephone offers, including a completely different way to think about power that has nothing to do with being loud. She also gets personal, sharing pieces of her own recent journey through burnout and what she calls a "seed moment," the exact point where a hard situation turns into something you get to decide the meaning of. If you want the full breakdown of Persephone's myth, symbols, and correspondences, Morgan has a full guide linked below.

Title: Sobriety - Another Non-AA Path Episode OverviewAfter a quick shoutout to a new listener in Bangladesh, Mike and Glenn dive into a candid conversation about the diverse paths to recovery. While AA works miraculously for many, this episode highlights that it isn't the only way to get sober. They sit down with Dean Newcomb, a certified CCR recovery coach celebrating 18 years of sobriety, to discuss his unique, non-AA journey. Facing rural isolation and an unwelcoming initial meeting, Dean built his own customized program rooted in a direct, personal relationship with his higher power—bypassing the "middleman" of rigid religious expectations.  Key Highlights & TakeawaysReligion vs. Spirituality: The discussion breaks down the vital distinction between man-made religious rules (the "purple robe people") and cultivating a genuine relationship with a creator. Dean shares how finding God in nature, rather than a church basement, became the cornerstone of his early recovery.The Shift from Pain to Fulfillment: Early sobriety is often driven by the immediate need to avoid pain and consequences. However, as Glenn, Mike, and Dean all note, long-term recovery is sustained by a desire for more out of life. Sobriety isn't just about stopping the bad; it's about actively filling the void with family, education, and genuine experiences.Advice for the Newcomer: Dean outlines three actionable steps for anyone currently struggling:1.      Get Honest: Completely admit to yourself that you have lost control. 2.      Connect Higher: Begin building a relationship with your higher power.3.      Speak Up: Ask for help. Even if you can't get to a meeting, find just one person willing to listen to your story. Guest InformationDean is a certified CCR recovery coach and life coach specializing in helping people who need flexible recovery programs that fit into demanding lives. Listeners can connect with him and read his story on LinkedIn.  or at his website: 

This week I'm joined by A.A. from the Norwegian black metal outfit Malum to dig into their excellent new album, “From The Voids”. We get into the band's origins as a studio project, the evolution of their sound from their debut, “In Nauseam”, to the new record, and the intersection of Polish and Norwegian character that has emerged in their music. We also talk about taking Malum from the studio to the stage, their appearances at Inferno, the challenges of maintaining anonymity in the middle of Oslo's black metal scene, and what the future might hold for a band that increasingly looks like it's on the verge of becoming something much bigger. On the weekly news rant, I'm joined by two surprise guests - long-time Legion General, @kelu666, and my good friend, Katy Irizarry from Suspiria PR. We celebrate the brilliance of the latest singles by Carnifex, Wayfarer and Manveira, while wailing in despair at the career-worst humiliations offered by the new Pain and Fear Factory tracks.

Most CRE brokers are afraid of being too persistent. Rod Santomassimo flips that fear on its head: if no one has ever called you a pain in the ass, you haven't come close to your potential.

Key Takeaways Marketing gets you known; prospecting gets you deals — you need both Identify your top 100 market influencers and get known by them systematically Use all three levels of the presence pyramid — personal, events, and digital Monthly physical touches (market reports, newsletters) to your top 100 are non-negotiable Build YOUR personal brand — not just your company's brand Post daily on social, email 2–3x per week, and always provide genuine value Being called a PITA isn't a failure — it's proof you're showing up more than everyone else

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260902dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. Romans 8:23 Groan With Hope The Bible calls the blessings we receive as Christians (for example, the peace of forgiveness) the “firstfruits.” The full harvest is coming. We have not experienced all the blessings that God promised. Therefore, we still battle temptations and fight our sinful nature. We still feel the aches of aging bodies. Because sin has left its mark on us, we groan. But the Christian’s groan is different. The world hopes things might get better. The Christian groans with certainty. We know things will get better. Our groaning is not the cry of someone abandoned by God. It is the longing of a child waiting to go home. The apostle Paul says we wait for “the redemption of our bodies.” What a wonderful promise! God is not interested only in saving our souls. Jesus redeemed the whole person. The same body that grows tired and eventually dies will be raised in glory. On the Last Day, Christ will transform our lowly bodies to be like his glorious body. No disease. No disability. No pain. No death. Only perfect life in the presence of our Savior. How can we be so sure? Because Jesus has already walked this path. He groaned under the weight of our sin. He endured the agony of the cross. His body was laid in a grave. But on the third day, he rose. His resurrection is God’s guarantee that ours is coming. His resurrection was the firstfruit of others to come. Until then, we do not pretend life is easy. We bring our griefs, disappointments, and fears to our Savior. We groan and pray fervently. And we wait eagerly, knowing that every day brings us one step closer to the moment when our groans are drowned out by the song of victory that God’s children will one day sing forever. Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for making me your child through faith in Jesus. When I grow weary under the burdens of this life, strengthen my hope as I wait for the resurrection of my body and the joy of living forever in your presence. Through Jesus Christ, my risen Savior.

What happens when the psychologist becomes the patient? In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier talks with psychologist, chronic illness and pain coach, author, and advocate Dr. Jeffrey Bone about his own decade-long journey with chronic illness and what that experience has taught him about pain, identity, grief, resilience, and hope. Jeff shares how a mysterious collection of neurological and physical symptoms eventually led him through functional medicine, environmental testing, immunology, and a diagnosis of common variable immune deficiency. Along the way, he experienced something many people with complicated or chronic health conditions know all too well: the exhaustion of appointments, uncertainty, conflicting opinions, and simply wanting someone to believe that something is wrong. But Jeff's story is not just about illness. It is about what happens when the life you had planned is no longer available. He and Stephanie talk about grieving your former self, accepting a new normal without surrendering your quality of life, becoming your own healthcare advocate, and finding doctors who remain genuinely curious when the answers are not obvious. That same curiosity ultimately became one of Jeff's most important tools. After years of defining himself largely through work, chronic illness pushed him toward poetry, books, podcasting, creativity, philosophy, new experiences, and a different definition of success. Today, he helps other people living with chronic illness and persistent pain navigate the emotional realities that often receive far less attention than the symptoms themselves. Jeff's challenge is beautifully simple: Ask yourself, "What could be wonderful today?" You do not have to completely reinvent your life. Sometimes curiosity begins with trying something new, asking another question, creating something imperfectly, or simply noticing what has been around you all along.

You cannot escape a cage you cannot see. In this episode, Emily Fletcher welcomes back Jim Curtis, a coach and author who has spent years healing his own life and now helps others move from suffering into possibility. Jim's own story includes a difficult childhood and an undiagnosed illness at 19 that left lesions on his spinal cord, taking him from an athletic identity to a wheelchair, and forcing him to rebuild who he was. His new book, The Book of Possibility: Release, Align, Become, distills what he learned into a path anyone can follow, out Sept 1. Emily and Jim go deep on judgment, forgiveness, and what Jim calls invisible cages, the patterns running our lives that we can't change until we see them. Emily shares two of her own stories along the way, a New York street encounter with a disabled Uber driver's quiet generosity, and the night her own back gave out after months of overgiving. Jim also breaks down the neuro-linguistic programming behind his book and reads a passage live. In this episode, Jim explores: – The two-word answer he received when he asked a channeled being why we're here– A judgment story from Burning Man, and the pattern of becoming exactly what he judges– Why forgiveness is so hard, and why the ego doesn't want to let someone off the hook– Quantum jumping, memory reconsolidation, and hypnosis– His own story: a difficult childhood, an illness at 19, and rebuilding from a wheelchair– The invisible cages concept, and why the door out is always unlocked– Why your actual outcomes, not your intentions, reveal what's really running your life– The classic trope of the over-giving healer, and learning to charge for his work– The line he calls his favorite: "pain is part of the human experience, suffering is optional"– Miracle stories from his career, and why he won't try to fix the pain people write to him about– The NLP behind the book's language, and its parallel to the pain-relief mechanics of BDSM– His next project: a certification school for hypno coaches Key Moments: 01:16 – The Osho quote: a woman dancing is closer to God than a man meditating05:39 – Channeling Metatron: "see beauty, spread beauty"07:16 – The Burning Man judgment story10:03 – Forgiveness as the way out of closed fists14:47 – Quantum jumping and rewriting memory through hypnosis17:28 – Jim's own story: an abusive childhood and an illness at 1921:27 – The invisible cages, and why the door is always unlocked23:02 – Finding what's running your life by looking at your outcomes29:06 – The Uber driver story: a disabled man's quiet generosity34:05 – The classic trope of the over-giving, unboundaried healer44:47 – "Pain is part of the human experience, suffering is optional"49:15 – Miracle stories: fear eradication, eyesight, and unexpected divorces51:40 – Emily's own story: her back giving out after months of overgiving57:26 – A live reading from the book: "You are the love you seek"1:03:31 – The surprising parallel between NLP and BDSM's pain-relief mechanics1:05:57 – Book details: Sept 1 release, 17 chapters, why to buy the hardcover More from Jim Curtis:Get The Book of Possibility: www.bookofpossibility.comVisit Jim's website: www.jimcurtiscoaching.com ✨ Explore quantum energy with LeelaQ's Infinity Bloc.

It’s game week for Liberty Football, but Mike Jarvis’ journey to this moment is a powerful reminder that some of the most important work happens long before the lights come on. In this conversation, Mike shares what feels different about this year’s team, why their word “STANDARD” has to become more than a slogan and instead shape the way you show up every single day, and what it means to write your own story rather than be defined by the past. We also go beyond football to talk about perseverance, identity, faith, vulnerability, and the setbacks and waiting seasons that shape us into who we’re meant to become. Mike challenges us to not waste the wait by recognizing that just because we can’t see the results yet doesn’t mean God isn’t doing something significant in us. From chasing a dream when the path doesn’t go according to plan to having the courage to ask for help when life gets heavy, this conversation is a reminder that dreams don’t quit, people do. So keep showing up, keep trusting, keep becoming, and make sure the standard you talk about becomes the standard you live.

Sit up straight. Pull your shoulders back. Tuck your pelvis. Engage your core. Stop slouching. Sound familiar?

Hash values, IP addresses, and domains are virtually useless as primary detection mechanisms in the era of AI-driven polymorphic malware and short-lived phishing kits. If your detection strategy is still stuck at the bottom of the Pyramid of Pain, your incident response team is doused in noise while true threats slip through undetected. In this episode, Ashish sits down with Nicole Beckwith, Senior Director of Security Engineering & Operations at Cribl (former Secret Service investigator and Kroger security ops lead), to break down Cribl's open APEX framework. Nicole explains how APEX focuses on behavioral chaining, time-boxing, and clustering over raw telemetry to build high-fidelity detections without needing a thousand individual rules for every MITRE ATT&CK box. We also explore the shift from a "single pane of glass" to a deterministic "single lens" over federated data, why AI agents must be provisioned as true identities rather than unmonitored service accounts, and how to analyze hyper-fast threat archetypes like Anthropic's GTG 1002.

What is your child saying to themselves when they make a mistake?“I'm terrible at this.”“I'll never get it.”“Maybe I'm just not talented enough.”Those statements may sound harmless in the moment—but repeated negative self-talk can begin shaping what a child believes about themselves.In Episode 162 of High Performance Parenting, Greg Francis continues his Champion Mindset conversation with his daughter Crissy as they explore the connection between self-talk, mental toughness, preparation, discipline, and performance.Crissy openly shares that she can be her own worst critic and has had to intentionally change the way she speaks to herself on the tennis court and in everyday life.In this episode, you'll discover:Why champions aren't simply born with stronger mindsHow mental toughness can be intentionally developedWhy negative self-talk affects performanceHow children unintentionally reinforce limiting beliefsWhat athletes can say after mistakes instead of attacking themselvesWhy discipline now prevents regret laterHow physical preparation and mental preparation work togetherWhy children need to focus on what they can controlHow to help kids stop comparing their circumstances to othersWhy becoming champion-minded requires changing daily habitsCrissy explains that instead of reacting to a mistake with frustration, she's learning to respond with thoughts such as “It wasn't my best, but it was closer.” That seemingly small shift helps her remain in a productive mental state rather than spiraling into criticism.Greg also shares an important warning:Your subconscious starts believing what you repeatedly tell it.That's why helping kids develop healthy, truthful, productive self-talk is about much more than sports.It's preparing them for life.

In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant has a powerful conversation with Serena Dye, wife, mother, advocate, and voice for the voiceless. Serena shares the story outlined in her book, Becoming a Voice, including the abortion she had at 15 and the pain she carried for years afterward. She explains how Jesus later brought that part of her story to the surface, not to condemn her, but to heal her. As Serena says, "Jesus reveals what He wants to heal." Today, she uses her testimony to speak up for life and has even testified at the White House and before the Supreme Court. Her message is simple and hopeful, no matter how long you have struggled, Jesus is inviting you onto a path of healing, and your job is simply to say yes.

What if your body isn't broken, and the symptoms you've been fighting are actually trying to tell you something?Physician, author, and educator Dr. Karyn Shanks joins Giving Pain Purpose for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, trauma, the nervous system, and what it means to stop seeing ourselves as problems that need to be fixed.Together, Dr. Shanks and Lyndsay explore how our experiences can shape the way our bodies respond to the world, why creating a sense of safety matters, and how curiosity and self-compassion can change the way we approach healing. They unpack the frustration of living with symptoms that don't always come with clear answers and the emotional toll of feeling disconnected from—or even betrayed by—your own body.Dr. Shanks shares her holistic perspective on healing, bringing together science, psychology, and lived experience to challenge the belief that illness means something within us has failed.At the heart of this conversation is a powerful shift in perspective: instead of constantly asking, “What's wrong with me?” what happens when we begin asking, “What is my body trying to tell me?”For anyone living with chronic illness, navigating trauma, or searching for answers after feeling dismissed or defeated, this episode is a reminder that you are more than your symptoms, and healing may begin when you stop fighting your body and start listening to it.Episode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Dr. Karyn Shanks and the show's focus(01:53) The disconnect in modern medicine and the root of trauma(04:12) Dr. Shanks' personal health journey and realization(06:53) Understanding the body's organization and response to trauma(10:59) The importance of listening to the body's messages(15:00) Pain and suffering as portals for healing(18:04) The role of safety and connection in recovery(21:55) Holistic, systemic approach to chronic illness(24:00) The significance of storytelling and safety in healing(27:49) Western medicine's limitations and the need for integration(29:58) Closing thoughts and resourcesFind Dr. Karyn Shanks Online Here:Website: karynshanksmd.comInstagram: @karynshanksmdFacebook: Karyn Shanks MDLinkedIn: Karen Shanks, MDBook: UnBroken: Reclaim Your WholenessFind Giving Pain Purpose Online Here:Website: givingpainpurpose.comInstagram: @givingpainpurposeFacebook: The Giving Pain Purpose PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: @givingpainpurposeShop: thegivingpainpurposeshop.comSubscribe on YouTube | Merch Shop is OPEN!! | COMING SOON: The Pain Hub - A Women's Healing Community.

You knew something was wrong with your body long before anyone found it. Months, sometimes years, of being the only one who kept taking your chronic illness seriously - while the standard tests came back clear and the system ran out of places to look. So you found your own answers. And you were right.But here's the part almost no one connects to their physical symptoms. When being proven right costs you that much, a part of you starts holding onto the evidence of how sick you are — because that proof is the thing you fought to earn. And that emotional pattern can sit directly across from the healing you say you want as a woman with chronic illness.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the years you spent being the only one who believed you can end up working against you now.Why part of you can want to be well and resist it in the same breath.What changes when getting well no longer feels like conceding anything.Becoming the Version of You Who Heals is my seven-day audio series that works at the level of identity — separating who you are from what you've been diagnosed with, one day at a time.

We are excited to share the main talks from Spring Conference 2026, which was "Divide and Conquer: Reclaiming Lost Ground when the Enemy Turns Allies into Adversaries." Every year, we focus on a theme that addresses current needs in youth ministry across Central and Eastern Europe. At Fall Conference, the topic was "Victorious," with a focus on standing strong in the Spiritual fight. Our Spring Conference took this theme even further, exploring a particular tactic the enemy uses in families, friendships, teams, and churches. We learned how to recognize, resist, and regain ground when facing these challenges, and now we invite you to do the same. We're not meant to fight each other— we're meant to fight together. There is a battle with the serpent, and there is a battle with self. In this episode, entitled "Taking Back Lost Ground, The Battle Inside You," Dave Patty shares that there are four key battles we need to deal with within us: Pain, threat, debt, and judgment. If we do not deal with pain, it will control us, and if we do not deal with fears, our threat triggers will hijack us. If we do not deal with debt, it will imprison us, and if we do not deal with judgment, we will be unable to see clearly. True forgiveness is not possible without Jesus. We are rich because we are forgiven. Thank you for tuning into this teaching episode of the podcast. Watch this episode on our website!

Singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy joins Zoë and Brendan to talk about the strange and surprisingly rich overlap between running and making art. She shares how watching her mom run planted the seed early, growing up close to the Western States course, how Courtney Dauwalter and Addie Bracy helped draw her into ultrarunning, and why learning to sit with discomfort has changed far more than her athletic life. Margaret also talks about quitting social media, writing songs on a typewriter, finding solitude in anonymous hotel gyms, and the logistical challenge of training while touring in a van. Plus: the financial risks of falling on your guitar-playing hand, the unexpectedly deep musician-to-ultrarunner pipeline, and what Margaret might learn from how ICU nurses train for ultras.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260901dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed . . . the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Romans 8:19,22 Creation Can’t Wait Have you ever noticed how often the world reminds us that something isn’t right? Wildfires scorch forests. Tornadoes uproot trees. Droughts wither crops. Pretty soon, depending on where you live, the beauty of creation will fade with the changing seasons. Sometimes we speak of nature as though it is simply running its course. But the Bible tells us that creation is groaning. It wasn’t always this way. When God completed his work of creation, he declared that everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). There was no death. No decay. No storms. No disease. The world reflected the perfection of its Creator. Then Adam and Eve sinned. When humanity fell, the curse reached far beyond Adam and Eve. God said, “Cursed is the ground because of you” (Genesis 3:17). Thorns and thistles appeared. Death entered. Since then, every hurricane, every broken body, every dying tree, and every cemetery has proclaimed the same truth: sin has affected everything. Yet, there is hope. Creation is waiting for the day when Christ returns to reveal his children. The created world knows, in a way beyond our understanding, that its own freedom is tied to ours. When Jesus raises the dead and makes all things new, creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay. That means the groaning of creation is not the groan of despair but of eager expectation. Just as a mother experiences labor pains in anticipation of celebrating a new life, so does this world. Therefore, we can look at natural disasters differently. We are not left without hope. Every time we see creation suffer, we are pointed to the One who is coming to restore it. When he does, the curse will be lifted, and we will enjoy a new creation forever. Therefore, with creation, we can’t wait. Prayer: Lord Jesus, when I see the brokenness of this world, remind me that you have already conquered sin, death, and the curse. Give me confidence to endure the groaning of this present age as I wait for the glory you have promised. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Romans 12:2 Why do we behave irrationally?Our strongest thoughts are steering our lives.What comes into your mind—Comes out in your life.Cannot have a positive life with a negative mind.Don't control what you think—Never control what you do. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing.

Ps 143:5 What stronghold is holding you back?What truth demolishes that stronghold?Write it—Think it—Confess it—Until you believe it.Here is a Daily Confession of Faith for you to use!I am strong and mighty. I have the same power that raised Christ from the dead dwelling inside of me. I am a weapon of righteousness in a world of darkness. I am not my past. I am not what I did. I am who God says I am. He says I am forgiven. He says I am redeemed. He says I am free. I am not a hostage to unhealthy thoughts. The weapons I fight with are not the weapons of this world. I have divine power to demolish strongholds.  I have the mind of Christ directing my thoughts. I have the Word of God guiding my steps. I demolish every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. I take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.  My God has not given me a spirit of fear, but a Spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind.  The Lord is my helper. I will not be afraid! Jesus is first in my life. I exist to serve and glorify Him.I love my wife and will lay down my life to serve her.My children will love God and serve Him with their whole hearts. I will nurture, equip, train, and empower the people around me to do more for His kingdom than they can imagine.I love people and believe the best about others.I am disciplined. Christ in me is stronger than the wrong desires in me.I am growing closer to Jesus every day. Because of Christ, my family is closer, my body is stronger, my faith is deeper, and my leadership is sharper.I am anointed, empowered, equipped and called to reach people far from God.I am creative, innovative, driven, focused, and blessed beyond measure—because the Holy Spirit dwells within me.(*) My words, thoughts, and imaginations are under the power of Christ. I take all thoughts captive and make them obedient to Christ.I wake up with purpose, direction, and meaning every day of my life.Pain is my friend. I rejoice in suffering because Christ suffered for me.I bring my best—and then some. It's what I bring after I do my best that makes the difference.The world will be different and better because I served Jesus today. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discussion Questions:Have you ever had a moment where you thought, “Why did I do that?

What are some thoughts people commonly accept as “just the way I am” that may actually need to be challenged?Why is taking control of our thoughts different from simply trying harder to behave better? Which part of the daily confessions resonates with you most this week?

Lisa, Debbie "Sharpie," and Steve sit down with Steven, a Doctor of Physical Therapy in Orlando and host of the Happily Ever Active podcast, to talk about how to actually get your body ready for a Disney World vacation — before you ever set foot in the parks. Steven breaks down how most people walk only 4,000–5,000 steps a day but need to handle 20,000+ at Disney, and why that sudden jump (not the walking itself) is what causes sore feet, back pain, and injuries like plantar fasciitis and shin splints. He shares his progressive walking plan to build up mileage in the 1–3 months before your trip, the real rules for buying park-ready shoes (heel cup, toe box, breaking them in at the end of the day), how to prevent and treat the dreaded "Disney rash," chafing fixes for hot, humid park days, and the right way to wear a backpack so it doesn't wreck your shoulders and back by 3pm. The crew also digs into packing smart for a day in the parks, hidden bench and ledge spots for a quick sit-down break in line, stretches you can do in the queue for Rise of the Resistance, and how to pace a multi-generational family trip so grandma, grandpa, and the kids all actually enjoy the day instead of melting down during "Mickey's Magical Meltdown" hour. Steven's free resources, walking program, water station map, and his book Disney Ready: Your Pain-Free Parks Survival Guide are all available at fitforthemagic.com.

A couple of quick notes: I flagged the guest's name as "Steven" throughout (distinct from host Steve) and I gave him credit for "Doctor of Physical Therapy" based on what he said in the episode — worth a quick glance before you publish to make sure I got his title and site name (fitforthemagic.com) exactly right. Want me to trim this down to a shorter version for the Blubrry field if there's a character limit, or draft a companion blog post / show notes page for pixievacations.com or the Griswold Family Vacations site off the same content?

In this episode of The Addicted Mind, host Duane Osterlind speaks with orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. David Hanscom about his book, Calm Your Body, Heal Your Mind. They explore the deep physiological connection between chronic pain, anxiety, and addiction, outlining how regulating the nervous system can lead to genuine, lasting healing.Key TakeawaysThe Problem with Chronic Surgery: A vast majority of spine surgeries for non-structural chronic pain fail because they treat a symptom rather than the root cause. Chronic physical pain is frequently driven by an oversensitized nervous system rather than structural spinal flaws.Threat Physiology vs. Psychology: Anxiety and anger are physical, chemical reactions—a "fight-or-flight" survival mechanism—rather than purely psychological issues. Because the unconscious brain processes roughly 1 billion bits of information per second compared to the conscious brain's 20–30 bits, you cannot simply talk or willpower your way out of deep physiological threat states.The Bridge to Addiction: When the body remains trapped in sustained threat physiology, mental and physical pain become unbearable. Without tools to down-regulate the nervous system, individuals often turn to substances or compulsive behaviors as a last-ditch effort to soothe the body's alarm system.Reframing Trauma Work: Continuously discussing and re-analyzing past trauma can sometimes act as a "trauma anchor," reinforcing pain circuits in the brain. Long-term recovery requires shifting focus toward present-moment awareness and neuroplasticity.The 4-Part Framework for HealingThought Separation: Using expressive writing and mindfulness to separate your identity from repetitive, negative thought patterns.Calming the Physiology: Directly toning down fight-or-flight chemistry by engaging the vagus nerve and creating a felt sense of physical safety.Softening the Ego: Cultivating self-awareness to spot cognitive distortions without needing to defend a rigid identity.Neuroplasticity: Constructing new brain pathways by intentionally practicing gratitude, engaging with community, and pursuing purpose.Resources & LinksBook: Calm Your Body, Heal Your Mind by Dr. David HanscomWebsite: Back in ControlGuided Healing Program: The DOC JourneyFollow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.

In XYBM 164, we sit down with Norense Odiase, former pro basketball player, corporate account executive, and viral storyteller — for a deeply candid conversation about navigating grief, identity, and the pursuit of peace beyond performance. Norris breaks down his path through the NBA G-League and Amazon, unpacks the hidden weight of sudden loss and childhood trauma, and explores the five core questions every man must answer to know who he truly is. He also opens up about the emptiness that comes with reaching the top of your career, the difference between empathy and compassion, and how an NYU cinematography course helped him turn raw, unscripted vulnerability into a movement.This is a must-watch for anyone who has achieved everything they thought they wanted only to still feel empty inside — and for anyone ready to step out of survival mode, redefine success, and find purpose beyond the noise.BOOK US FOR SPEAKING + BRAND DEALS:————————————Explore our diverse collaboration opportunities as the leading and fastest-growing Black men's mental health platform on social media.

What happens when God shows you something about yourself you don't want to see?Our instinct is often to defend.Explain.Distract ourselves.Push it away.But what if the uncomfortable truth is actually an invitation to transformation?In this reflection on Psalm 32, John Ortberg explores the relationship between pain, honesty, forgiveness, and genuine change.John begins personally, describing a conversation in which a longtime friend helped him recognize uncomfortable patterns of comparison, envy, and competition in himself.Instead of defending himself, John is learning to say:“Yep. That's me. God, I need Your help.”Psalm 32 describes the blessed person as someone “in whose spirit is no deceit.”Then John tells the extraordinary story of Tom Tarrants, a violent white supremacist and KKK terrorist who was imprisoned in Mississippi.In prison, Tarrants encountered the words of Jesus:“What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”His life began to change.The man who once participated in racist terrorism eventually devoted himself to forgiveness, racial reconciliation, and serving the very people he once hated.How far can somebody fall and still be changed by God?Maybe much further than we imagine.So when your conscience shows you something today, don't immediately run.Don't defend.Don't hide.Ask:God, help me see the truth about myself.And then:Would You change me?In this episode:- Psalm 32 and honest confession- What happens when we become defensive- Dallas Willard on pain and reality- Why hiding the truth fragments us internally- David, Psalm 51, and forgiveness- The story of Tom Tarrants- Radical transformation from hatred to reconciliation- What it means to have “no deceit” in your spirit- How to respond to conviction- Why God's grace can change anyoneScriptures: Psalm 32 • Psalm 51 • Psalm 1 • Matthew 16:26 • 2 Samuel 11–12#Psalm32 #JohnOrtberg #Forgiveness #Psalms #Transformation #SpiritualFormation #Confession #ChristianFaith #Grace #BibleStudy

When Pain Becomes IdentityWhat happens when the pain we've carried for so long becomes part of who we believe we are?In this episode, we explore the quiet ways pain can shape our identity—how past experiences, rejection, loss, trauma, or disappointment can become stories we repeatedly tell ourselves. Sometimes, we become so familiar with our pain that imagining life without it feels uncomfortable or even impossible.But you are more than what happened to you.
