Podcasts about Permissive

New here? Start with our Start Here playlist — five episodes that will change how you think about motherhood. You've probably heard the advice: create a consistent routine for your ADHD kid, avoid artificial dyes and flavors, protect their sleep schedule. And on paper? It's not bad advice. But nobody talks about what happens when the parent trying to implement all of it has ADHD too. In this solo episode, JoAnn breaks down why so much ADHD parenting advice quietly assumes a neurotypical parent is the one executing it — and what that means for the rest of us. You'll learn about three things that explain why this advice feels so much harder than it should: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), demand avoidance, and the interest-based nervous system. Then JoAnn shares three practical strategies that actually work with an ADHD brain — including the timer trick she uses to write her own books, why permissive language isn't the same as permissive parenting, and how body doubling helped her finish a rough draft in a month. In this episode: Why "just create a routine" doesn't work when you're the ADHD parent too The truth about artificial dyes, fear-based advice, and what's actually driving the panic Why enforcing a sleep schedule is especially hard for neurodiverse parents Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD): what it is, what it feels like in your body, and how to work with it Demand avoidance: why even your own to-do list can trigger an automatic "nope" Permissive language: how softening a request can actually get more done The PINCH framework: the five things that actually motivate an ADHD brain Timers and gamification: how to turn any task into a game you actually want to play Why rewards need to stay novel — and what actually works long-term Body doubling: how JoAnn used it to finish her book, and how to set it up for your kids too If you've been feeling like a hypocrite for not being able to do the things you're asking of your ADHD kid, this episode is your permission slip. You're not failing. You're an ADHD parent trying to follow advice written for someone else's brain. Now you've got tools that work for yours.

Who is God, really? Many people believe in God, but often the version of God they reject isn't the God revealed in Scripture. Is He distant? Angry? Permissive? A cosmic therapist? Or is He something far greater than our assumptions and expectations? In this message from our Catechism series, we explore one of life's biggest questions: Who is God? Discover why our view of God shapes everything—from how we worship and pray to how we handle suffering, fear, and uncertainty. Through Scripture, we'll see that God cannot be reduced to human categories and that the God who is beyond us is also the God who came near to us through Jesus Christ. Whether you're a lifelong believer, asking hard questions about faith, or simply curious about Christianity, this message will challenge you to move beyond cultural assumptions and encounter the God of the Bible.

“Being a father is probably one of the toughest and most rewarding jobs I've ever had. A lot of the principles I used to teach snipers apply to kids: dealing with negativity, replacing negative self-talk, learning that well-meaning adults can say terrible things — and you don't have to take that on as baggage.” — Brandon Webb Brandon Webb defines himself as an author, entrepreneur, Navy SEAL sniper, and father. But not in that order. The first three he leveraged into a series of bestselling books about the art of sniping. The fourth — the art of being a loving father — he dodged and ducked for years. But fatherhood might be Webb's real calling. People regularly pulled him aside after meeting his grown children to ask him about his “secret” for being an effective dad. His kids were making eye contact, they were asking good questions rather than staring at their phones. Most astonishingly, they seemed happy. Webb's new book, Puddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident and Joyful Kids, reveals his secret of parenting. It applies the positive performance psychology Webb learned as a Navy SEAL sniper instructor — how to redirect negative self-talk, how to deal with well-meaning adults who say damaging things, how to build mental toughness without destroying connection — to the work of raising children. It outlines his parenting philosophy of both high expectations and high support. Think of Puddle Jumpers as simultaneously the manual for tiger and the bunny parenting. Brandon Webb's ultimate calling in life is as a parent. Father, author, entrepreneur and Navy SEAL sniper. In that order. Five Takeaways •       The Sniper Instructor as Parenting Coach: Webb was running the Navy SEAL sniper program at 27 years old. The psychology they taught there — positive self-talk, replacing negative internal narratives, dealing with adversity without being broken by it — is what he applied to parenting. The connection is not as strange as it sounds: both sniping and parenting require performing under pressure, dealing with failure without catastrophising, and building confidence that is genuine rather than brittle. The difference is that the stakes in parenting last a lifetime. •       High Expectations, High Support: Webb's alternative to the false choice between permissive parenting and authoritarian discipline. Permissive parenting replaces preparation with protection. Authoritarian discipline breaks connection. Puddle Jumper Parenting holds both simultaneously: clear expectations and emotional safety. Kids need to know what's required of them. They also need to know they won't be abandoned when they fail. Webb's word for children raised this way: puddle jumpers — kids who leap into life's messy moments with full-hearted abandon, not because they're fearless but because they trust themselves to recover. •       The Credit Card Lesson: Don't Bail Them Out: Webb's son Jackson managed a self-storage facility through college and ended up with a $25,000 ownership payout as a sophomore at St Andrews. He spent it like a drunken sailor on shore leave, got a credit card, ran up $12,000 in debt at predatory interest rates, and called his father for help. Webb's response: you remember that conversation we had? Figure it out. He let his son suffer. Jackson's girlfriend hated Webb for two years. At the end, Jackson paid off the debt with a new business and told his father it was one of the best lessons he'd ever been taught. It would have been easy to bail him out. The suffering was the lesson. •       Purpose and the War Veteran: Viktor Frankl's Lesson: How does a combat veteran come home intact? Webb's answer: purpose. His Afghanistan deployment had clear moral logic — the propaganda posters in the caves, the training camps, the towers. That clarity carried him through. Iraq was different. Soldiers who went to Iraq with no understanding of why they were there — and whose friends in 2010 were saying we have no idea what we're doing here — came home broken. Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning: purpose is the thing that makes endurance possible. Without it, violence that cannot be assigned rational meaning produces serious mental illness. •       Teach Kids About Money: The American Economy Preys on Them: Webb has strong opinions: America's economy is largely fuelled by consumer debt. Credit card companies prey on college students because they know the parents will bail them out. Kids need to understand the system before the system takes advantage of them. His prescription: teach them age-appropriate financial literacy early. The Acorns Early app gamifies financial learning for children. The deal he struck with all his kids in college: I pay for school, you have a roof and food, but if you want to socialise, get a job. The lesson is not just about money. It's about agency. About the Guest Brandon Webb is a combat-decorated Navy SEAL sniper, multiple New York Times bestselling author, Harvard Business School alumnus, and father of three.

On this week's episode of Sense by Meg Faure, we sit down with Angie Weber, host of Mom Essentials, owner of The Parent Toolbox, and founder of the Divorce Support Collective, to talk about parenting with intention and what it really takes to break the cycle of yelling, guilt, and shame.Angie built her CALM framework not from a textbook but from her own lived healing journey through anxiety, depression, and PTSD. What came out of that journey is a practical, compassionate approach that is already changing families across the world.What is the CALM Approach?CALM is an acronym. Each letter is a foundational pillar of Angie's parenting framework:C - Compassionate Communication: How we speak to our children, how we truly listen, and how we build connection in a world dominated by screens.A - Awareness and Accountability: Becoming curious about behaviour rather than reactive to it. Understanding what children are communicating through their actions, and holding ourselves and our children accountable through meaningful consequences.L - Learning Emotional Regulation: Recognising emotions as they rise, and learning to process and express them in healthy ways - for parents first, and then for children.M - Mindful Modelling: Our children are watching us all the time. The goal is to shift from "do as I say, not as I do" to "do as I do."The Red Brain vs. The Green BrainOne of the most practical sections of this conversation covers what to do when you are already dysregulated. Angie shares her five-point body check-in: a tool that helps parents catch themselves before they react in ways they later regret.The five points to check are:Body sensationsBody movementsThoughtsEmotionsThe five sensesPracticed consistently, this check-in becomes second nature.Gentle Parenting vs. Permissive ParentingAngie and Meg unpack one of the most misunderstood distinctions in modern parenting.Gentle parenting, at its core, includes boundaries and consequences.Permissive parenting does not.Trying to remove every obstacle and keep children happy one hundred percent of the time does them a far greater disservice than we realise.Tune In: This episode is about parenting with intention - if you are a parent who has ever gone from zero to sixty and spent the next hour drowning in guilt, this conversation is for you.Guest References: Angie WeberWebsite: theparenttoolbox.infoFacebook: The Parent ToolboxInstagram: The Parent ToolboxYouTube: The Parent ToolboxPodcast: Mom EssentialsResource: The Calm Family Planner — 52 weeks of guided family meetings

In this high-yield, no-fluff episode, Dennis is joined by Dr. Michael Falk, a pediatric emergency medicine physician, former academic, and combat-experienced relief worker who has run airways in Haiti post-earthquake, Mosul during the ISIS fight, Ukraine, and Gaza. They break down exactly why pediatric airways are a completely different beast in prolonged field care and give you field-proven tactics that actually work when you're the only one there with a BVM and a prayer.Key Takeaways You Can Use TomorrowPositioning is everything: One to two inches under the shoulders (or whole body) prevents automatic obstruction from the massive occiput.Adjuncts > early tube: NPA or OPA + side-lying (gravity is your friend) can keep you from tubing in the field.Tube sizing rule: Child's pinky ≈ ET tube diameter. Depth = 3× tube size. Always go smaller — you can ventilate, you can't un-damage a ripped airway.Intubation mindset: Kid airway is more anterior and cephalad. Slow down, work your way in, or you'll be in the esophagus.GCS decision:

In Jude 5-11, we're warned not to twist God's grace into permission to sin. While culture often defines freedom as doing whatever we want, true grace leads to transformation.

You can also text the word “START” to 88788.Show Notes In previous episodes, we've explored a variety of stories that have shared the different ways we can grieve and the different types of losses we may experience. However, some experiences with grief and loss can prove far more complex, especially when someone is dealing with grief and loss while still in the presence of the person or even in a relationship. How can one both move through the unique type of grief associated with domestic abuse? Is it possible to heal from it and become whole? In this episode, Jennifer has a conversation about a topic that may be difficult to hear or watch. Tune in to this candid interview with our guest, Jenny duBay, as she courageously shares about a topic near and dear to her heart to help others know they are not alone. Our GuestJenny duBay writes historical fiction inspired by the lives of medieval mystics - women who walked through chaos, suffering, and spiritual fire, and emerged with a grace that still speaks across centuries. Their courage became a lifeline in her own healing journey. Now she tells their stories, weaving history with themes of resilience, beauty, and the search for truth, so they can inspire others the way they inspired me.In addition to her fiction, she also writes non-fiction for women navigating betrayal, trauma, or spiritual wounds—not with formulas or platitudes, but with honesty, clarity, and the reminder that they are not alone.Connect with Our Guest www.jennydubay.comContact Jenny duBay FacebookSubstackSaint Quotes“All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.” - Julian of Norwich"I am she who is not; God is the One Who is.” - St. Catherine of SienaScriptureRevelation. 21:5“Ask and ye shall receive.” Luke 11:9“[I] can do all things through [Christ] who strengthens [me].” Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)Psalm 55: A Lament over Betrayal"Blessed are You, O God, with every pure blessing ...

Your kid is melting down in public… and you feel it: “If I don't shut this down, I'm a pushover. My kid will walk all over me." In this first episode of our new Is It True? series, Dr. Becky and Myleik Teele take a closer look at a belief so many parents carry, though rarely question: If I don't punish, I'm being permissive. Together, they unpack what's underneath that fear, why punishment can feel so satisfying (and why it often doesn't work), and what it actually looks like to hold boundaries without being harsh or permissive. They also explore how this question lands differently for Black parents, where the stakes of “not listening” can feel much higher. This is the first in a recurring format we'll revisit, slowing down common parenting beliefs and expanding them into something sturdier, more usable, and more true.

Episode Title: Three Somatic Questions for Locating Your Healing Progress Host: Nia Guest: Jean Dorff Episode Overview In this insightful episode of the Empowering Story Podcast, host Nia welcomes somatic healing expert Jean Dorff to explore a transformative approach to healing. Rather than viewing healing as a distant destination, Jean Dorff guides listeners through embracing healing as an ongoing process—one rooted in self-location, gentle presence, and nervous system awareness. Drawing from somatic methodologies and the Six Voice States framework, this conversation offers practical tools for tuning into the body's signals, building self-compassion, and making sustainable progress without force or self-judgment. Key Topics & Takeaways Redefining Healing: Healing isn't about arriving somewhere "better"—it's about learning to stay with yourself in the present moment, as Nia notes in the episode opening. 3 Somatic Questions for Progress: Shawn Dorff introduces three powerful questions to map your real-time healing: Where do you leave yourself? (Identifying disconnection and avoidance behaviors) Where does safety already exist? (Locating micro-moments of ease and neutrality) What truth are you holding at a distance? (Recognizing what you aren't yet ready to face) The Gap Between Knowing and Feeling: Cognitive understanding doesn't always mean emotional or bodily readiness. The nervous system's pace must be respected for true integration. Why Micro-Moments Matter: Healing is cumulative—it happens in small moments of contact, pauses for breath, and gentle self-awareness, not in major epiphanies. Permissive vs. Absolute Language: Shawn Dorff explains how gentle, "even slightly" language helps lower the nervous system's defenses, allowing for authentic presence and healing. Self-Compassion in Practice: Recognizing that avoidance and "stuckness" are intelligent adaptations—not personal failures. The tools shared support nervous system participation and self-compassion. Who Should Listen? Anyone on a healing journey seeking practical, science-informed somatic tools Therapists, coaches, and trauma-informed practitioners interested in nervous system-aware language Listeners feeling "stuck" and wanting self-understanding and compassion Notable Quotes "Healing is not a destination, but the ability to locate yourself in real time." — Jean Dorff "You can understand your pain, explain your patterns, and still feel dysregulated… Cognition outpaces nervous system readiness." — Jean Dorff "Healing is not a dramatic transformation. It is the accumulation of micro-moments of contact." — Jean Dorff Resources & Frameworks Mentioned Six Voice States Framework Concepts from somatic psychology and nervous system regulation The power of "positioning questions" for self-discovery Connect & Subscribe Thank you for joining the Empowering Story Podcast.

Most Christians want to live and function in the will of God. They want to know who the right partner is, if they are in the right job, if they are in the right ministry. They want to know where to live, if they should have children, and how many children. Unfortunately, the majority of Christians often find themselves outside of His Will or perhaps in the permissive will of God. How do we align ourselves to His Perfect Will? And how do we redeem the time?

Series: God's Promises, Our JourneyTitle: "What happens when we rest in God's unshakable promises?"Scripture: Genesis 13:1-18 NIV Matthew 6:331 Corinthians 2:14-3:32 Corinthians 4:16-18James 3:13-4:102 Peter 2:7-8Bottom line: When God's people trust His promises, they can release what they see and rest in what He has said. OrFaith chooses promise over possession.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONWhen I was in high school, I was encouraged by my dad to go to a good college to get a good job. A noble endeavor, as I saw it.In college I chose an engineering degree that would provide for that vision.I was focusing on what I could see. I wasn't focused on what I could not see.When God called me into the ministry, he called me out of a career of engineering. I'd been practicing civil engineering as a consultant for five years, and had finally found my footing and was beginning to be productive in the eyes of the company. I finally felt like I belonged. God called me out of that into full-time ministry and I never really questioned the money piece. In other words by God's grace, I was able to look past the money to the Ministry that God was calling me too. I was able to walk by Faith instead of my sight.In this passage today, Genesis 13 we'll see a contrast between Abram and Lot. Lot will choose based on what he sees. Abram chooses based on the promises of God.When we trust in God's unshakable promises, we will release what we see, and rest in what he has said instead.What are some of those promises?God is ableGod hearsGod seesGod is with usGod caresGod satisfiesGod approvesThese are just some of the many promises throughout scripture that you and I have to bank on when we rest in him. Let's look at the life and the contrast of Abram and Lot and see how it plays out in chapter 13.CONTEXTWe've gone from Promises of blessings to failure to rest in those promises to returning to the original promise keeper through repentance and faith.Abram went down to Egypt but returned to between "House of Bread" and "Ruin". It is here he and Lot part ways. He watches Lot choose what he thinks is best for him and yet outside of God's promised land. No doubt he knows this. He just doesn't believe it or realize it.Genesis 13 contrasts Abram's faith-shaped restraint with Lot's sight-driven ambition—and places both under the canopy of God's covenant faithfulness.SERMONReview from Genesis 12:1-3:God Is the Initiator of RedemptionGod Calls His People to Trust Him Before They Understand HimGod's Blessing Is Never Merely Personal—It Is MissionalGod Promises to Anchor His People in Uncertain Times & PlacesGod's People Respond with Obedience, Worship, and WitnessMy notes on Gen 13:God is.../God does...Merciful / forgives, restoresWest, spiritually (10) / Draws his people west, spiritually (10)Holy, just judge (10) / judges righteously (10)Permissive / allowed us to make mistakes and even sinFaithful (14-17) / kept his promise (14-17)Omnipotent (14-17) / able to deliver on his promise (14-17)Worthy of our worship (18) / Receives our worship w/ pleasure when by grace through faith (18)People are.../People do...Can be faithful, humble (3-4) / repent, return to the Lord (3-4); call on the name of the Lord (4)Tempted by riches (5, 10-11) / Pursue riches over God and end up in dark places (5, 10-11)Divided, greedy (6-7) / Quarrelsom (6-7)A witness to the world (7b) / A good or poor witness (7b)Gracious; magnanimous (8-9) / yield to the underserving (8-9)Brothers & sisters of humanity & sometimes in Christ (8) / Care about each other (8) or notLost; citizens of this world; born sinners (10-13) / Pursue the things of this world (10-13)Faithful (at times), blessed (14-17) / Obedient, humble, grateful, faithful, believing (14-17)Content for, yearn for God's presence (18) / Seek, pursue, rest in the Lord (18)CONCLUSIONBottom line: When God's people trust His promises, they can release what they see and rest in what He has said."Fellow believers (Abram's spiritual seed), when we truly believe the promises that are ours in Christ, when we truly understand and believe that we are seated right now in him in the heavenly places, when we understand that all things are ours in Christ, we will cease our grasping. As Alexander Maclaren put it:The less of our energies are consumed in asserting ourselves, and scrambling for our rights, and cutting in before other people, so as to get the best places for ourselves, the more we shall have to spare for better things; and the more we live in the future, and leave God to order our ways, the more shall our souls be wrapped in perfect peace.'" -Hughes, pp. 200-201INVITATIONPeter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬How do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.Lord's Supper, 1 Cor 11:23-26 is good passage.Also, say something like, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." (past, present, and future)PrayNOTESThe Apostle Paul talks about 3 kinds of people in the world somewhere in 1 Corinthians I think. Lost people, carnal Christians, and spiritual Christians. I think I read this in a Warren Wiersbe commentary pointing to Lot as a carnal Christian when considering 2 Peter 2:7-8. Does Paul say this?Short answer by ChatGPT:Yes, Paul does describe three kinds of people in 1 Corinthians 2–3 — but he does not present them as three permanent classes of Christians.He contrasts unbelievers with two conditions of believers.That distinction matters.Where Paul says this1 Corinthians 2:14–3:3 (flow of thought)Paul uses three Greek adjectives:ψυχικός (psychikos) — natural / unspiritualπνευματικός (pneumatikos) — spiritualσάρκινος / σαρκικός (sarkinos / sarkikos) — fleshly / carnalThese form the three categories you're remembering.The Three Types Explained1. Natural person — unbeliever (2:14)This person:does not receive the things of the Spiritconsiders them foolishlacks spiritual discernmentThis is clearly outside Christ.Paul is describing someone without the Spirit.So this one is not debated.2. Spiritual person — mature believer (2:15–16)This person:discerns spiritual realitieshas “the mind of Christ”is walking under the Spirit's influenceThis is what we might call:matureSpirit-ledgrowingresponsive to GodThis is Paul's goal for every believer.3. Fleshly / carnal believer — immature believer (3:1–3)This is the key text:Paul says to the Corinthians (paraphrasing):I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but as fleshly people, as infants in Christ… you are still fleshly… there is jealousy and strife among you.Notice carefully:He still calls them “in Christ.”So they are:savedbut immaturebehaving like unbelieversdominated by worldly patternsThis is not a third ontological class — it's stunted growth.So what is Paul actually teaching?Here's the most accurate way to state it:Not:❌ Three fixed types of peopleBut:✅ Two groups (unbelievers vs believers), with believers living in two possible conditions (spiritual or fleshly)In other words:CategorySpiritual StatusConditionNaturalUnregenerateCannot understandCarnalRegenerateImmature / worldlySpiritualRegenerateMature / Spirit-ledWhere Wiersbe and others get “three kinds of people”Teachers like Warren W. Wiersbe simplify Paul's language pedagogically.It's a teaching framework, not Paul's formal taxonomy.Helpful for preaching.But not meant as rigid categories.Your Lot connection (2 Peter 2:7–8)This is actually a good biblical illustration.Peter calls Lot:“righteous”yet compromiseddistressedliving foolishly in SodomSo:justified positionallybut practically worldlyThat fits the carnal/immature believer concept very well.So Wiersbe's use of Lot is pastorally reasonable.Theologically important clarificationSome traditions mistakenly build a doctrine like:“There are three kinds of Christians: saved, carnal, and spiritual.”Paul does not teach that.His point is corrective:“You should be spiritual by now — but you're acting fleshly.”It's rebuke, not classification.He expects growth.Bottom lineYes — Paul does describe:natural peoplefleshly believersspiritual believersBut he is describing spiritual maturity levels, not permanent types.The “carnal Christian” is:not a category to settle intobut a condition to repent from.If you want, we can next:look at the Greek terms more closelycompare with Romans 8 (flesh vs Spirit)or explore whether “carnal Christian” is the best phrase theologically (some scholars push back on that wording)or build a teaching/diagram you could use in a sermon or classWhere would you like to go deeper?OUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDERWhat do I want them to know?

Free Podcast Downloads I want to talk about an important aspect of God's will for us, and that is the difference between God's perfect will and His permissive will. However, before we can really understand the difference between God's perfect will and His permissive will for us, we need to understand the Biblical concept of free-will. In Scripture, free-will refers to the God-given ability of human beings to make real, meaningful choices for which they are morally responsible. Every individual has the ability to make their own choice to either obey wholeheartedly, obey reluctantly, or disobey God.

GOD'S WILL — BOTH ABSOLUTE AND PERMISSIVE.  If God's will if omniscient and all-powerful, how can "free will" also prevail? God lovingly allows our free will, so that through our own spiritual journey and discernment, we may find our way to freely love Him and serve Him, above all things.

Read OnlineWhen Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee… From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:12, 17When John the Baptist was arrested, his followers were likely overcome with fear and grief. The man they revered as a prophet, who fearlessly proclaimed the coming of the Messiah and called for repentance through baptism, had been imprisoned. John was arrested by Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great, infamous for ordering the massacre of infants in Bethlehem. Like his father, Herod Antipas was ambitious and morally corrupt. As tetrarch of Galilee and Perea under Roman authority, Herod's political survival depended on maintaining Roman favor. He often used religion to secure legitimacy among the Jewish people, though his actions routinely violated Jewish law.Though nominally Jewish, the Herodian dynasty was of Idumean descent, tracing its lineage to Esau rather than Jacob. The Idumeans were forcibly converted to Judaism between 135–104 BC. While this history granted the Herods a claim to Jewish identity, their foreign lineage and collaboration with Rome made them unpopular with many Jews. Herod Antipas, like his father, prioritized political cunning and personal ambition over genuine adherence to Jewish law.When John the Baptist emerged on the scene, he proclaimed his message with fearless conviction. His central call was one of repentance and baptism for the forgiveness of sins, urging the people to prepare for the coming of the Messiah. Yet John did not shy away from addressing the moral and spiritual corruption of his time. He famously denounced the Pharisees and Sadducees as a “brood of vipers,” rebuking their hypocrisy and lack of genuine repentance. John also boldly condemned Herod Antipas for violating Jewish law by divorcing his wife and marrying Herodias, the wife of his half-brother, Philip. This marriage not only violated Mosaic Law but also reflected Herod's ambitions to consolidate power and status. John's fearless denunciation of sin, even among the powerful, ultimately led to his arrest and eventual martyrdom.This historical context surrounding John's arrest is crucial because it helps us understand God's providence—how He permits certain evils to occur in order to bring about a greater good. Jesus Himself later affirmed John's greatness, saying, “Among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist” (Matthew 11:11). If the Son of God declared John's greatness shortly after John's arrest, why didn't God miraculously free him from persecution? The answer lies in John's mission. He had fulfilled his primary role: preparing the way for the Lord, the “Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Once John's mission was complete, God permitted him to seal his testimony with his own blood, offering his life as a martyr for the Lord and for the Truth that sets all people free.Reflect today on John's arrest and consider how you might have reacted if you had been one of his disciples. From an earthly perspective, martyrdom is difficult to comprehend or accept, especially in our own lives or in the lives of those we love. Though John's arrest and subsequent martyrdom likely brought fear and grief to his disciples, shaking their sense of security, from an eternal perspective, John's martyrdom was his greatest act of witness. It fulfilled his mission by pointing his disciples—and all of us—toward the true Prophet and Messiah, Jesus Christ. John is forever glorified in Heaven, and in the end, that is all that truly matters. As we honor John's unwavering faith, seek to embrace God's permissive will in your own life. Even in the face of suffering or evil, trust that God, in His providence, can bring about a greater good if we surrender ourselves fully to Him.My provident and loving God, You permit evil to touch the lives of Your faithful followers, knowing that in Your perfect Wisdom, You can bring forth a greater good. Grant me the heart of a martyr, filled with courage and trust, whenever I face injustice in my life. Help me to unite my every trial to Yours, in imitation of Saint John the Baptist and Your own Passion and Death. Jesus, I trust in You.ImageSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Alpha Hour Exhortation - Episode 1176

In this interview I am once again joined by Dr Ben Joffe, anthropologist, occultist, and scholar practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism. Ben reveals the industry convention of guru ghostwriting in which spiritual teachers employ one or a team of writers to produce their dharma books, explains his collaborative process with Nida Chenagtsang on their latest Vajrayana book, and sheds light on his own editorial process. Ben discusses whether a scholar should have practice experience before translating religious texts, considers whether historical inaccuracies debunk the spiritual value of Buddhist scriptures, and raises questions about the origin of terma treasure texts. Ben also compares the Yuthok Nyinthig retreat format to the Abramelin Ritual of Western Occultism, details the signs of success in tantric practice, and shares Yuthok's promise to appear in bodily form to practitioners with sufficient devotion and attainment. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep337-guru-ghostwriting-tantric-retreat-dr-ben-joffe Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:12 - Ghostwriting for gurus 08:03 - Lamas often don't write their books 10:24 - Ben's editorial process 18:32 - Is guru ghostwriting a dirty secret? 19:17 - Vajrayana jargon vs a felt sense 29:56 - What is a scholar practitioner? 37:39 - Ben's retreat experiences 41:13 - Did Yuthok the Elder really exist? 50:06 - Anachronisms and retroactive attribution in Tibetan historiography 51:57 - Origins of the Tibetan medical tantras (rgyud bzhi) 58:08 - Terma treasure texts: mystical revelation or an editorial process? 01:02:08 - Why have Western scholars been hesitant to question terma texts? 01:05:04 - Does critical scholarship debunk Buddhism? 01:10:55 - Medicine Buddha ex machina 01:12:45 - Referring out 01:13:24 - Encountering Yuthok vs the Holy Guardian Angel in the Abramelin Ritual 01:20:10 - Special 7-day Yuthok ngondro 01:24:10 - Is Yuthok Nyingthig the best tantric system? 01:28:27 - The power of aspiration prayers 01:30:53 - How long does it take to become fully enlightened? 01:33:51 - Practice according to number, time, or signs 01:34:54 - Mythic resonance of lineage 01:36:33 - Signs of spiritual progress 01:41:35 - Ben comments on the Abramelin Ritual 01:43:59 - Sumton's Yeshe Zung's devotional prayer 01:46:50 - Yuthok as a Mighty Dead 01:48:47 - Do Yuthok's promises cause ego inflation and delusion? 01:52:09 - Verifying dreams and spiritual signs 01:58:26 - How to connect with spiritual blessings 02:05:09 - What are blessings? 02:06:32 - Spiritual signs in the Jesuit tradition 02:08:49 - Ngondro as a hazing 02:10:55 - Do people expect to encounter Yuthok at Dr Nida's retreats? 02:15:38 - Dr Nida's approach vs traditional contexts 02:21:00 - Typical student profile and outcomes 02:29:28 - Permissive approach to tantric vows 02:32:37 - Pros and cons of laissez-faire tantric practice 02:33:28 - Charismatic founder stage

Hebrews 6:3 opens a doorway into one of the most fascinating questions of faith: What does God permit—and why? In this episode, we talk about the surprising goodness in God's permission. From growth and maturity to daily choices and opportunities, God is constantly allowing things that shape who we become. This is a hopeful, practical look at how God's “permission” is often His way of saying, “Go ahead. Grow. Step in. Live.”

Current approaches to Zeer Trust implementation can leave gaps in security. Today, we sat down with Akamai's Mike Colson to discuss the concept of combining Identity Credential Access Management with Least Permissive Trust. Setting the stage, Mike Colson details some of the challenges in the varying kinds of Zero Trust that are being applied in the Federal Government. The standard way of implementing ICM can result in assigning more resources than necessary, leading to permission creep and inflexible permission. Over provisioning: The amount of data being created is almost impossible to manage. A person may be given access to a data set they are not permitted to see. A “just in time” permission structure would help avoid that situation. Stale:  Just because a person has access to a data set on a Tuesday does not mean he has access on a Wednesday. People can leave the workforce, be reassigned, or change roles. Access must be constantly updated. Static:  Ron Popiel made the phrase, “Set it and forget it,” memorable. Unfortunately, this approach can lead to a permission structure that may limit access to key data. This may be considered under-provisioning, potentially leading to time delays in obtaining key information. Colson took the listeners through several iterations of access control, including Role-Based Access Control and Attribute-Based Access Control. On top of these old favorites, Colson discussed what may be called Context-Based Access Control, or what he calls Least Permissive Trust. Least permissive trust is a concept Colson outlined, which uses user behavior, device health, and contextual factors to grant permission dynamically. The conclusion is simple:  not all Zero Trust is created equal.

In this episode of The ADHD Parenting Podcast, hosts Ryan Wexelblatt and Mike McLeod explore what it means to “step into your parental authority.” Drawing from research and clinical experience, they discuss how authoritative parenting—balancing warmth with structure—helps children with ADHD develop self-regulation, emotional safety, and independence. The hosts challenge social media's rebranding of permissive parenting as “gentle” or “compassionate” and explain why consistency, clear expectations, and calm modeling are key. They also tackle the fears many parents have about being “too firm,” offering practical examples of how to set limits with empathy and predictability while nurturing connection and confidence in their children.

This conversation delves into the complexities of law school, focusing on the critical areas of appeals and preclusion. It covers the final judgment rule, interlocutory appeals, the collateral order doctrine, and various standards of review. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for effective legal practice and exam success, providing listeners with strategic insights and practical applications.In the bustling corridors of the courthouse, a young attorney named Alex found themselves grappling with the complexities of civil procedure. One case, in particular, stood out—a seemingly straightforward appeal that unraveled into a web of preclusion principles. This story is a gateway to understanding the intricate dance between appeals and preclusion in civil procedure.The Appeal Process: Appeals are a critical component of the judicial system, allowing parties to seek a review of a lower court's decision. They serve as a check and balance, ensuring that justice is served. In civil cases, understanding the grounds for appeal and the procedural steps involved is crucial for any legal practitioner.Preclusion Principles: Preclusion, encompassing both res judicata and collateral estoppel, prevents parties from relitigating issues that have been previously adjudicated. These doctrines uphold the finality of judgments and promote judicial efficiency. However, navigating preclusion can be challenging, as it requires a keen understanding of when and how these principles apply.Interplay Between Appeals and Preclusion: The relationship between appeals and preclusion is intricate. An appeal can impact the preclusive effect of a judgment, and conversely, preclusion can limit the scope of an appeal. Understanding this interplay is essential for effectively managing civil litigation.For Alex, mastering the nuances of appeals and preclusion was a turning point in their legal career. By delving into these concepts, they not only enhanced their legal acumen but also ensured justice for their clients.

The message reflects on Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6:24–34 about not worrying. Using vacation planning as an analogy, the speaker explains that focusing too much on details breeds anxiety, but keeping sight of bigger goals brings peace. Jesus' call not to worry can feel unrealistic, but Scripture reassures us that worry is normal and that God continually encourages us not to fear. The sermon explores Leslie Weatherhead's framework of God's will: Intentional will – God's ideal plan for us. Permissive will – what God allows because of human free will. Ultimate will – God's final redemptive victory. Worry often comes from clinging to control and relying on wealth or self-made security. Releasing that control—opening our hands to God—frees us to trust in His care. Personal stories illustrate how misplaced worry can consume us unnecessarily, while trust in God's ultimate will brings peace, even in suffering. The message concludes with Jesus' reminder that if God provides for birds and flowers, He will provide for us too. Ultimately, God is good, trustworthy, and making all things new. fmhouston.com

Note: Previously labeled Daf 37, "A King's Table," was really the Daf 38 episode, sadly on account of human error. This episode the real Daf 37, "The Not-So-Permissive Court."[Who's Who: Rabbi Yehudah Nesiah, not to be confused with Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi] With a case in his name - regarding the discussion of oil that originates with non-Jews, and when that was then permitted for use by Jews, and a question about permitting the bread of non-Jews. But the sages were concerned that they would labeled a "permissive" court. [Who's Who: Yosi ben Yoezer and the Zugot] Plus, a divorce issued on condition of, for example, the husband not returning in X amount of time, or example more than a year. Also, vegetables that are boiled by non-Jews are prohibited to Jews, but why? Is changing the food (through cooking or grinding) the issue?

In a world that celebrates “anything goes,” the Church is called to live set apart—for God, and for the good of one another. But what does it look like to pursue purity in a time when sin is redefined as personal freedom, and accountability is mistaken for judgment?Text: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13

Becket Cook was living what many would call a dream life—working in Hollywood, dating men, and surrounded by celebrities. But beneath the surface, he felt an ache that nothing in that world could satisfy. One day at a café, he noticed a group of young people doing a Bible study and struck up a conversation. That led to an invitation to church—and during that very first visit, the Holy Spirit met him powerfully. In this episode, Becket shares his journey from acting on same-sex attraction to finding true identity, purpose, and peace in Christ.

Have you ever thought, "I don't want to parent the way I was parented, but I don't know what the alternative looks like?" You're not alone. While there are several parenting models out there, Gentle Parenting is gaining popularity.  In this episode, I'm unpacking the Gentle Parenting movement: what it is, why so many parents are drawn to it, and how it aligns with biblical principles of shepherding a child's heart.   It's not about:  Permissive parenting. Avoiding discipline. It's about how we discipline: empathy and long-term relationships in mind A heart posture that says, "My child is not my enemy. They are a soul I'm stewarding."  I'll discuss the desire parents have to shift from control to connection, the power of empathy in discipline, and how you can transform your relationship with your child.  Whether you're curious or already committed to parenting with gentleness and grace, this episode will encourage and equip you with practical steps and hope-filled truth.

Is gentle parenting just permissive parenting in disguise? This episode reveals a powerful framework for meeting both your needs and your child's, creating cooperation without sacrificing connection. Is gentle parenting the same as permissive parenting? No, gentle parenting is not the same as permissive parenting. Gentle parenting focuses on meeting both the child's and the parent's needs with respect and empathy. Permissive parenting prioritizes the child's desires without setting appropriate boundaries or considering the parent's needs. Parents can be gentle without being permissive by understanding and meeting their own needs, as well as their child's needs. Why don't logical consequences and offering limited choices always work? Logical consequences and offering limited choices don't always work because they are often strategies to control a child's behavior rather than addressing the underlying needs driving that behavior. When a child is acting out, they may be seeking connection, autonomy, or have other unmet needs. Logical consequences and choices don't meet these needs, so the behavior continues. How can I set effective limits without sliding into permissiveness? To set effective limits without becoming permissive, understand that your needs matter just as much as your child's. Identify the underlying need you're currently trying to meet with a limit, and identify strategies that honor both your needs and your child's. This prevents you from prioritizing the child's desires while neglecting your own needs, which is characteristic of permissive parenting. What's the difference between a natural consequence and a logical consequence? A natural consequence is what naturally occurs as a result of an action such as touching a hot stove and getting burned. A logical consequence is an action that a parent takes as a result of an action, such as taking away screen time because a child didn't do what they were told. How can I meet both my needs and my child's needs in challenging situations? Meeting both your needs and your child's needs starts with identifying the underlying needs driving the behavior in challenging situations. If a child is stalling at bedtime, they may need connection. A parent can meet this need by spending time with the child before bed, reading an extra book, or engaging in a quiet activity together. This could the child's need for connection, while also meeting the parent's need for the child to go to bed at a reasonable time. What's the underlying cause of my child's resistance to everyday routines? The underlying cause of a child's resistance to everyday routines is often an unmet need. For example, resistance to putting on shoes may stem from a need for autonomy (if the child wants to do it themselves), or connection (if they want you to do it for them). By recognizing the need, you can find ways to involve the child in the process, such as letting them choose which shoes to wear, giving them a sense of control and making the routine more cooperative. Is there an alternative to the four traditional parenting styles? Yes, there are alternatives to the four traditional parenting styles (neglectful, authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative). Dr. Diana Baumrind, who created the styles, also found a 'harmonious' method where parents consider the child's ideas as just as important as their own, which sounds a lot like Gentle Parenting - but she decided not to research it further! What you'll learn in this episode In this episode, we challenge the common misconception that gentle, respectful parenting is the same as permissive parenting.

Questions answered this episode:At a recent funeral, people spoke about God's perfect timing in death, but I wondered, isn't death, the separation of body and soul, a result of the fall? Doesn't God's will have both a perfect and permissive side, given our fallen world and freedom to choose? Wouldn't God prefer us to live forever, body and soul, rather than just our souls going to heaven? Can you help me understand all of this in the context of Theology of the Body?I was discussing sexuality with my atheist friend when she asked why the Church says masturbation is wrong. She then compared her body to a Ferrari, claiming she worked hard to take care of it and should be able to enjoy it alone. I was left speechless. What does the Church and Theology of the Body say about this?I've been practicing NFP with my husband since our marriage, but I'm struggling with my conscience. He wants to wait a year before trying to conceive, while I feel ready to start our family. I worry that NFP is being treated like contraception. I'm also feeling lonely and disconnected, especially since it's easy to abstain for weeks. How do I talk to my husband about this, and am I wrong to think NFP isn't right for us right now?Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II's beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.---

Read OnlineWhen the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury. They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong. But he passed through the midst of them and went away. Luke 4:28–30One of the first places Jesus went to begin His public ministry was His own home town. After entering the Synagogue and reading from the Prophet Isaiah, Jesus proclaimed that the prophecy of Isaiah was now fulfilled in His very person. This caused His townspeople to be outraged at Him, thinking He was blaspheming. So they shockingly sought to immediately kill Jesus by driving Him out of their town to the brow of a hill off which they meant to throw Him. But then something fascinating happened. Jesus “passed through the midst of them and went away.”The Father eventually permitted the grave evil of the death of His Son to take place, but only in His time. It's unclear from this passage how Jesus was able to avoid being killed right then at the beginning of His ministry, but what's important to know is that He was able to avoid this because it was not His time. The Father had more for Jesus to do before He would permit Him to offer His life freely for the salvation of the world.This same reality is true for our own lives. God does permit evil to happen, at times, because of the irrevocable gift of free will. When people choose evil, God will allow them to proceed—but always with a caveat. The caveat is that God only permits evil to be inflicted upon others when that evil is able to be ultimately used for God's glory and for some form of good. And it is only permitted in God's time. If we do evil ourselves, choosing sin rather than the will of God, then the evil that we do will end in our own loss of grace. But when we are faithful to God and some external evil is imposed upon us by another, God permits this only when that evil can be redeemed and used for His glory.The best example of this is, of course, the passion and death of Jesus. A far greater good came forth from that event than the evil itself. But it was only permitted by God when the time was right, in accord with God's will. Reflect, today, upon the glorious fact that any evil or any suffering inflicted upon you unjustly can end in the glory of God and the greater salvation of souls. No matter what you may suffer in life, if God permits it, then it is always possible for that suffering to share in the redeeming power of the Cross. Consider any suffering you have endured and embrace it freely, knowing that if God permitted it, then He certainly has some greater purpose in mind. Surrender that suffering over with the utmost confidence and trust and allow God to do glorious things through it. God of all wisdom, I know that You know all things and that all things can be used for Your glory and for the salvation of my soul. Help me to trust You, especially when I endure suffering in life. May I never despair when treated unjustly and may my hope always be in You and in Your power to redeem all things.
