Podcast appearances and mentions of paul matt

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.1 Cor 7:10-12, 15“Not I, but the Lord” and “I, not the Lord.” Paul reveals the Lord's will on an issue common in the Greco-Roman world: mixed marriages. (“I, not the Lord.”) A Christian has a pagan spouse.Paul and Jesus agree on the subject of divorces between covenant people. Assuming there are no grounds for divorce—and no remarriage—then anyone who deserts a Christian spouse is still married to them. Ideally reconciliation will be reached. Otherwise, one must live as a single person.Paul accepted neglect (abandonment) as grounds for divorce and remarriage. He refers also to withholding of conjugal love. Thus the promises of the marriage vows are in the background of everything he writes. In 1 Cor 7 Paul stresses the 4 obligations of marriage (corresponding to the 4 grounds for divorce).Divorce by separation: Desertion is grounds for divorce as it deprives one's spouse of essential marital rights.Since separation was divorce in the Roman world, if the unbeliever left, the Christian spouse was free to remarry (“not under bondage”). If Christians could not remarry, they would still be in bondage to a spouse who had left, even if that spouse had remarried.1 Cor 7:39: Paul frees the woman from the strictures of levirate marriage (Deut 25:5) – the brother of the widow is required to marry her so that her dead husband's lineage will not die out. The language of 1 Cor 7:39 (free to marry whoever she may please) is part of all standard ancient divorce documents.Thus it appears that widows and divorcees had equal rights – permission to remarry. Yet the traditional church interpretation forbids remarriage except after death or adultery. This does not concur with the understanding of 1stcentury rabbis, Jesus, and Paul.Paul would say to us todayBelievers should never cause a divorce, and must not use (any-cause) divorce.If an unbelieving spouse leaves you, you may remarry.A believer who wrongly got a divorce should strive to be reconciled, not remarry (which would make the divorce irreversible). If they're already remarried, of course, it's too late.The Church Fathers (Patristic writers)Incorrect teaching because the original debate—the issues of a bygone age—had been forgotten.2nd-C Judaism and Christianity alike overreacted in the area of sexual ethics.The early church often erred on the side of harshness.No forgiveness for those who deny Christ.By the 3rdcentury many leaders allowed only one sin after baptism (and some, none at all!). This led to the custom (4th C.) of delaying baptism till near one's time of death.Severe church discipline.Skewed theology of martyrdom.Immortality of the soul – and the concomitant doctrine of infinite hell, increasingly explicit…Asceticism (leading in part to the rise of monasticism): Harsh treatment of the body (Col 2:20-23) easily led to harsh treatment of people.Church polity—the rise of the bishop, the decline of autonomy, and increasing heavy-handedness.Celibacy—a good thing, according to Jesus and Paul (Matt 19:11-12; 1 Cor 7:7), although it came to be viewed as a badge of spirituality. In the western church, celibacy was more and more expected of “clergy.”Divorce—lack of grace, lack of appreciation of nuance.Remarriage – discouraged, despite Paul's counsel in 1 Tim 5.Did the 2nd-century church use certificates of divorce? How would we recognize whether such a document had been written for a Christian or a non-Christian?Keep in mind that the Gentiles wouldn't have this certificate—by far the greater number of Christ-followers—and in Palestine the Christians were still viewed as Jews.So it probably would not be obvious in a such document whether someone was a Jew (non-Christian) or a Jewish Christian. (This was long before the multitudinous documents of medieval canon law!)After the Patristic periodThe Catholic Church sacramentalized marriage.No release.A horrific form of entrapment, for some.Protestants normally allowed divorce for adultery and desertion.Later, liberal Protestants (today) are back to “no-fault” marriage.Final thoughtsThe four grounds for a valid divorce are found in one's wedding vows. All are mentioned in the OT; two are mentioned and two more alluded to in the NT. These include adultery, abuse, abandonment, and neglect.Without proper grounds, a second marriage is adultery.And yet… we are not told to break up a second marriage, even if improperly grounded.For if we did, then there would be two wrongs. Consider 2 Sam 12, or John 4.Divorce is a last resort.Believers should never be the cause of a divorce—that is, they should not break their own marriage vows, or behave badly in hopes that will trigger a divorce.Nor should they initiate a groundless divorce—that is, where a spouse hasn't broken his or her wedding vows.Cautious humility required, because of:Naïvete. There are significant gaps in our knowledge. Background information is needed! For too long we may have been taught a naïve way of interpreting the Bible. The meaning of a biblical passage isn't always obvious. Interpretation is essential. Perspicuity of scriptures?Legalism: It's too easy for all of us to drift into legalism. It's easier sometimes to make a rule than to do extra reading, speak with those who know more than we do, or patiently explore the nuance of scripture. Nor will we learn if our hearts are full of hate and legalism.Pride: We tend to think we are right.A word to church leaders—7 strong suggestionsRead critically—not just books supporting our own view!David Instone-Brewer, the world's preeminent expert on 1stcentury M&D customs and documents.Visit his website, https://www.divorce-remarriage.com. I-B is especially helpful because he provides the ancient Jewish and pagan sources, which paint of picture of expectations and practices in the ancient world.Click here for a précis of his two books.Jerry Jones (former head of the Bible Department, Harding College; elder, Boston Church of Christ; with his wife, teaches widely on marriage). Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage: Seen Through the Character of God and the Mind of Jesus (Joplin, MO: College Press, 2016).His position coincides with Instone-Brewer's.“The ‘guilty' and ‘innocent' parties do not have to be identified.A divorce severs the marriage, and the couple is no longer married ‘in God's eyes.'A past, failed marriage (or marriages) does not demand a future life of singleness.Marriages that are destructive or abusive do not have to be maintained until a spouse is sexually unfaithful” (127).Jones's specific advice: “Before the decision to end the marriage is made, efforts to prevent divorce should be exhausted and the following questions considered:What does the character of God dictate?How does the mind of Christ impact this decision?Are any of the 4 elements of marriage being violated?” (p.126).Encourage people to think. Don't tell them what to do. Jesus often did not immediately answer questions.“Who appointed me a judge or arbiter…?” “The Law—how do you read it?” “Come and see.” “Bring me a denarius.” “Go and learn what this means.”Biblical principles internalized help us to become spiritual people, instead of legalists (who tend to read the Bible like a rulebook).Consider the grounds for divorce carefully.Verbal abuse – the husband is not protecting his wife – a violation of his vow.Of course pornography is a violation of the wedding vows. However, that doesn't mean the offended party should initiate a divorce. That's up to her [him]. Yet there's no need to wait to divorce until intercourse has taken place.Just because someone has stopped coming to church, he isn't necessarily in the category of the “unbeliever” who leaves the faithful spouse (1 Cor 7). His faithful spouse should not divorce him if things can be worked out. Marriage matters can be intensely stressful, and I wouldn't take someone's failure to turn up for a couple of weeks—even if they announce they're done with church—as the final word. They could well come back.The victim of broken vows is normally the one who can best decide when the marriage is over—not his or her spouse.Especially when there is abuse in a marriage.“Only the Lord knows the heart… We cannot leave it up to the minister or a church leadership team to decide when a marriage ends; it is up to the individual victim, in prayer before the Lord. Only they and the Lord know what their life is really like. Only they know if their partner has expressed repentance, and only they will have to live with the consequences of the decision” (Instone-Brewer).I'm not saying church leaders should never be involved. But sometimes we are unnecessarily involved—perhaps often siding with the husband over the wife, or siding with the spouse with the more pleasant personality.Refer the couple (or one of the spouses) to pastoral counseling if you're not a professional.And even if you are a trained counselor, make sure your counsel is truly biblical, and not just a reflection of your denomination's position.“Marriage counseling is often hampered by the lack of a coherent biblical approach to divorce and remarriage… A Christian counselor can say with confidence that believers do have grounds for divorce in cases of adultery, abuse or neglect but that Jesus asks us to forgive partners who repent after breaking their vows. Jesus allows us to divorce a ‘hardhearted' partner, but neither he nor Paul chose to define how much neglect is too much—unlike the rabbis, who defined the minimum amount of food, clothing and conjugal love that was due. This biblical teaching gives people who are suffering within marriages both an encouragement to persevere and a safety net when they find they cannot cope with it anymore. They can, if necessary, divorce their ‘hard-hearted' partner in the knowledge that God himself was forced down this route when Israel hardheartedly broke her marriage vows to him… Divorce is never good, but sometimes it is the only way to end the evil of a broken marriage” (Instone-Brewer, 170-171).Always be discreet; maintain confidentiality.Marriages should not be discussed in leaders' meetings or staff meetings.There are laws governing the disclosure of personal details.Relate respectfully to other leaders who may not have arrived at the same conclusions you have. Although how we handle divorce and remarriage is important, it isn't a central issue of the faith. It's a “middle circle” item.The apostle Paul

Parmi les outsiders qui soutiennent la majorité et leur réforme des retraites, Jean-Paul Mattei à la tête du groupe Modem à l'Assemblée nationale, retient son souffle avant la décision du Conseil constitutionnel qui devrait rendre son verdict ce vendredi 14 avril 2023. Alors que le pays est paralysé par les grèves et les blocages liées à la mobilisation lancée par l'intersyndicale, le sort de la réforme des retraites est entre les mains des Sages qui ont pour mission d'analyser la compatibilité du projet de loi avec la Constitution, au regard du débat parlementaire bafoué par l'exécutif. Pour Jean-Paul Mattei, invité des 4 vérités ce vendredi 14 avril, l'avis du Conseil constitutionnel est crucial. Le président du groupe Modem à l'Assemblée nationale envisage deux scénarios à l'issue de cette consultation. S'il défend ce projet de loi à l'origine des défilés incessants, il n'écarte pas la possible qu'il soit censuré à cause des « cavaliers législatifs » qui se seraient glissés dans certaines mesures de la réforme, à commencer par la mise en place d'un index et d'un CDI senior : « Ils pourront tout à fait être réétudier dans une analyse plus globale du texte » pondère-t-il. À gauche, les députés sur le banc de l'opposition sont favorables au référendum d'initiative partagée concernant le report de l'âge légal de départ à la retraite. Est-ce un progrès ou au contraire une difficulté supplémentaire posée au gouvernement qui ne semble pas vouloir rogner cet aspect de la réforme ? « Çà manque un peu de densité mais c'est un outil démocratique qu'il faut respecter » assène notre invité qui continue de défendre l'utilité et la nécessité de ce texte « pour l'équilibre financier ». À quelques heures du verdict du Conseil constitutionnel, une question se pose : la décision de cette instance suprême va-t-elle mettre fin à la mobilisation sociale même si cette dernière consent à valider la réforme telle qu'elle ? Au Modem, les députés ont insisté sur la mise en place « d'une clause de revoyure qui prévoit qu'il y aura la remise d'un rapport au 1er octobre 2027. Ce rapport sera débattu […] il sera tout à fait possible à ce moment-là de se saisir de cette question » explique Jean-Paul Mattei qui rappelle que l'âge de départ à la retraite revu à la hausse à 64 ans n'a pas d'effet immédiat et ne sera pas applicable en 2027. « On a une projection dans le temps qui me semble nécessaire. J'invite les forces syndicales à réfléchir sur ce sujet, à se saisir de cette possibilité et de travailler sur l'application de la loi, voir si les équilibres sont bien respectés […] rien n'est fermé » poursuit-il. Du côté des syndicats, la ligne de conduite est claire et le combat continue quelque soit la décision du Conseil. Leur objectif ? Faire retirer la réforme des retraites. Depuis le début de la mobilisation, partenaires sociaux et syndicaux marchent de concert pour faire plier le gouvernement. Une alliance historique que salue Jean-Paul Mattei : « Ils ont prouvé dans d'autres domaines qu'ils étaient capables de se mettre d'accord sur certains sujets » en référence à l'accord national interprofessionnel sur le partage de la valeur et sur l'économie verte. Concernant la réforme des retraites, le patron de la CFDT, Laurent Berger, avait évoqué il y a quelques semaines, la nécessité d'une médiation. Si l'exécutif est resté sourd à cet appel, il avait été entendu par le groupe Modem soulignant une dissonance claire au sein de la majorité. « Je pense que le moment est venu de se mettre autour d'une table et de travailler […] on peut avoir une réflexion à long terme sur les réformes et une loi travail qui prendra en compte certains sujets notamment sur le temps de travail. Je pense que toutes les pistes sont ouvertes. Il faut qu'on les saisisse » affirme notre invité malgré le flop des négociations entre les syndicats et l'exécutif à Matignon, il y a quelques jours. Réformes des retraites : quelles suites possibles ? Un an après la réélection d'Emmanuel Macron à l'Élysée, quel bilan tirer de ce début de quinquennat, pour le moins mouvementé et sans majorité à l'Assemblée nationale ? « Il faut qu'on se projette sur des textes importants avec la loi travail, une loi sur le logement, sur la santé […] » explique Jean-Paul Mattei avant de défendre des « textes défensifs » inscrits dans des périodes de crise comme celle des Gilets Jaunes et de la crise sanitaire. Très attaché à l'équilibre des finances publiques malgré la campagne du « quoi qu'il en coûte », le groupe Modem se dit « extrêmement vigilant » sur les réformes à venir concernant le pouvoir d'achat en chute libre des Français. « Il faut qu'on réfléchisse à d'autres vecteurs qui puissent essayer d'élargir notre majorité relative » martèle notre invité. C'est d'ailleurs un sujet au cœur des revendications sociales des manifestants qui ont relancé le débat sur le partage des richesses. Alors que le groupe Modem avait défendu une taxe sur les super dividendes, peut-on maintenir un statu quo fiscal ? « Je crois qu'il faut être lucide. Les revenus du travail contribue plus au budget de l'État que les revenus du capital […] Ça reviendra sur la table » conclut Jean-Paul Mattei.

MLN's Live show from 7/20/21. It's about the stuff in the title, geez.

Matt and Garrett are super excited to welcome one of Garrett’s coaching clients, Paul Schnaitter, to the podcast today. Paul is an agent with The Group in Fort Collins, Colorado, and, as Garrett states, is ‘spectacular in every way you can imagine’. Paul’s commitment to the Ninja philosophy, particularly the practice involving gratitudes and affirmations, is truly remarkable, and he is here to share his story with you today.   He begins by explaining how he extended the use of a tracker with which Garrett provided him to generate data on many aspects of his life, and some decisions he made based upon that data, in particular, those involving the correlation between his successful days and his affirmations and gratitudes. He then describes his routine involving these aspects of his practice, who benefits from it, the challenge Garrett set for him that started it all, and the success which one of his colleagues, Andrea Tuell, has enjoyed since following his Ninja recommendation. Paul and our hosts also discuss the notion of ‘non-urgent, high-importance’ activities, the power of an ‘attitude of gratitude’ and being present, Garrettt’s ‘boiling pot of water’ analogy, and the influence our hosts have had upon Paul. They finish their conversation by reviewing Paul’s belief that investing in Ninja Selling is actually an investment in quality of life, a realization which you will undoubtedly come to as well as you listen to his remarkable tale of commitment and success here today.   Episode Highlights:   Paul’s use of a tracker for many aspects of his life Making decisions based upon that data The correlation between affirmations and gratitudes and the successful days Paul was having Paul’s affirmations and gratitudes routine and everyone who benefits from it Garrett’s challenge for Paul Matt and Garrett’s influence Andrea Tuell’s remarkable success Non-urgent, high-importance activities The power of an ‘attitude of gratitude’ Being present Garrett’s ‘boiling pot of water’ approach to affirmations Ninja Selling as an investment in quality of life   Quotes:   “You are somebody who loves to analyze anything.”   “Health and how that translates into business success is, like, a huge area of study for me.”   “Mindset, as we all know from Ninja, is the foundation that everything is built on.”   “Don’t turn on your electronics, don’t look at that stuff, until you’ve had the opportunity to sit down and do these activities.”   “Setting that foundation for your mindset every single day…there is nothing more powerful than that, in my experience, for my life and for my business.”   “Don’t break the chain.”   “I’ve really started to meditate a lot more.”   “You’ve now turned this into a habit.”   “I feel like I’ve become more of myself.”   “Everything happens for a reason…what an incredible opportunity to shine a light on ourselves…what we do with every moment of everyday makes a difference.”   “You have this perspective of what I like to call ‘life-work harmony’ versus this ‘work-life balance’.”   “The most successful coaching we can do is when we have somebody that is willing to be coached and willing to work with you.”   “It’s all you…when the results come…you should be thanking yourself.”   Links:   www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli

Paul & Matt share their immediate reactions from the day one of NFL Combine. They discuss what tight ends, quarterbacks & wide receivers stood out from the athletic testing and the on field drills. They name some combine winners and losers and why some of what they saw surprised them and will have them going back to the film. They also discuss some outliers that will move some prospects down draft boards and how some prospects within tiers have now separated themselves after a strong showing at the combine.  Some of the prospects discussed include Albert Okwuegbunam, Harrison Bryant, Hunter Bryant, Cole Kmet, Josiah Deguara, Adam Trautman, Dalton Keane, Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert, Jordan Love, Chase Claypool, Justin Jefferson, Denzel Mims, Henry Ruggs III, KJ Hill, Jalen Reagor, Jerry Jeudy, Michael Pittman Jr, CeeDee Lamb, Laviska Shenault, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Brandon Aiiyuk, Devin Duvernay plus others.  To purchase the S2S Premium Notebooks for $9.99 or to read the full descriptions of what is in each notebooks, click here.

Paul & Matt preview the 2020 NFL Combine. Paul starts out the show discussing the merits of the NFL Combine and how he uses it in his evaluation process and what he is looking for over the four days of the event. He discusses some of the changes the Combine has made and how it has became more of an event for television.  Paul then starts going through the offensive skill positions and what prospects he is looking forward to seeing work out or get their actual measurements. He starts by discussing the quarterbacks and running backs and what he is looking forward to seeing or hearing from the combine in reference to those positions.  Next, Paul starts discussing the wide receivers and how he hops the Combine helps him sort out some of his tiers because of how many skilled wide receivers there is in this draft class. During the wide receiver discussion, Matt joins the show and talks about what he is looking forward to seeing with the receiver group. In addition, Matt discusses the new changes to the Combine and he thinks they missed out on an opportunity to truly change the event for the better. Paul and Matt then go back and forth discussing the changes and how they each use the combine in different ways. They also discuss some of the measurements that came out from the first day of the Combine. To close out the show they discuss the tight end position and what prospects they want to see work out and question whether any tight end can separate themselves from the group.  To purchase the S2S Premium Notebooks for $9.99 or to read the full descriptions of what is in each notebooks, click here.

Matt Carpenter and Paul Kehrer are Occupational Therapy Doctoral Students at VCU who are doing their doctoral practicum at REAL LIFE Community Center.  Their ideas on how OT relates to the population we serve are very insightful and intriguing.  Today we sit down with them to discuss those ideas. Matt Carpenter is an Occupational Therapy Doctoral student at Virginia Commonwealth University and has an undergraduate degree in Sociology from the College of William and Mary. He loves working with people and has done so in a variety of environments from summer camps, cruise ships, retail, and a church. Matt is particularly interested in helping individuals with mental health issues not only regain what they have lost but also to learn new skills and thrive.  Paul Kehrer is originally from Springfield, VA. He has attended Virginia Commonwealth University, Wesley Theological Seminary, and is currently pursuing his Doctoral degree in Occupational Therapy. He is motivated to work with others by his enduring belief that he can learn from anyone, and favors a collaborative and timely paced approach to helping others build psychosocial skills. Find an article recently written by Paul about his experiences at REAL LIFE here : https://wp.vcu.edu/occupationaltherapy/2019/03/05/peer-learning-in-a-community-based-dec/?TSPD_101_R0=7890ed281adde0eca539f1c331f9ce5da9W000000000000000051de3e47ffff00000000000000000000000000005c829fdf0059797207 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/REAL-Talk-REAL-LIFE/support

Paul uses his own life to call his friends to a humility rooted in the promises of the gospel. When we embrace God?s approval of us through Jesus, our security isn?t tied to what others think of us or what we think of ourselves. And when we taste the sweetness of what?s ours in Jesus, we?re set free from the restless pursuit of what we think we need or deserve.
