Two Navy Rear Admirals on Lent, the Triduum, the Rosary, and the Holy Spirit Co-host Rear Admiral Garry Hall fills in for Fr. James Kelleher, away on pilgrimage in Europe, and welcomes guest host Rear Admiral Sonny Masso; both share their journeys from Lutheranism into the Catholic Church. They reflect on taking Lent seriously as a reset of the heart, highlight Isaiah 6:8, and discuss fully participating in the Holy Triduum—Holy Thursday's Eucharist and adoration, Good Friday's Passion, and the Easter Vigil with multiple readings, baptisms, confirmations, and people entering the Church. They pray Fr. Kelleher's Holy Spirit prayer and emphasize active Catholic faith, including a push to make Catholic schools "rosary schools" by praying one decade of a scripture rosary daily. The conversation covers Marian devotion versus worship, the Wedding at Cana, reconciliation, and stories of grace, including St. Francis de Sales and personal experiences of spiritual consolation. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Host 00:57 From Lutheran to Catholic 02:27 Lent and Isaiah Call 04:28 Holy Thursday Adoration 07:51 Good Friday and Vigil 09:15 Holy Spirit Prayer 11:01 Rosary Schools Mission 13:20 Mary and Cana Story 17:47 Desert Temptation and Confession 19:42 St Francis de Sales Mercy 23:13 Holy Spirit Guidance and Confirmation 25:19 Personal Encounters and Closing

Jesus promises that he will reveal himself to those who follow his commands.Those commands include not only love God and love your neighbor, but that we love God by following all his commands including; "Do this in memory of me", being baptized and receiving the apostles. This encounter is a miracle that need to make room for.

What happens when an ordinary life intersects with something truly extraordinary? In this captivating episode, Joanie Eisinger shares her personal encounter with what she describes as “Star Beings”—an experience that challenged her understanding of reality and opened the door to a much larger cosmic perspective. Through vivid recollection and heartfelt reflection, Joanie recounts the moment of contact and the profound impact it had on her life, beliefs, and sense of purpose. She explores how the encounter may have involved communication beyond words—through energy, emotion, and an expanded state of awareness that transcended the physical world. This episode invites listeners to consider questions that have fascinated humanity for generations: Are we alone in the universe, or are there intelligences reaching out in ways we are only beginning to comprehend? What role does consciousness play in these encounters, and why do some individuals experience them while others do not? Blending personal testimony with broader themes of spirituality and extraterrestrial contact, this conversation challenges the boundaries between science, belief, and experience. It offers a glimpse into a reality where the universe may be far more interactive—and far more connected—than we ever imagined. Join us for a deeply intriguing and thought-provoking discussion that explores the possibility that contact may not just be something that happens “out there”… but something that can profoundly transform us from within.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Simon Says Week 8: Forgiveness and Restoration In this week's sermon, we explore the profound themes of forgiveness and restoration through the lens of Simon Peter's journey with Jesus. Pastor Chris delves into the transformative power of forgiveness and how it paves the way for a renewed purpose in life. The Power of Clean Water and Prayer Before diving into the heart of Simon Peter's story, Pastor Chris highlights the church's ongoing initiative, "Clean Water from Clearwater." This project underscores the importance of providing clean water to communities in need, a mission that parallels the spiritual thirst quenched by the "Living Water" of Jesus Christ. The congregation is encouraged to pray for each community receiving a well, using a detailed prayer guide that connects them to the specific locations and people impacted by this mission. Peter's Journey of Forgiveness The sermon transitions to the story of Simon Peter, focusing on his interactions with Jesus after the resurrection. Pastor Chris emphasizes Matthew 18:21-22, where Peter asks Jesus about the limits of forgiveness. Jesus responds with a radical call to forgive "not seven times, but seventy-seven times," illustrating the boundless nature of divine forgiveness. Peter's Denial and Redemption Peter's denial of Jesus during the trial, as recounted in the Gospels, is a pivotal moment in his journey. After denying Jesus three times, Peter is left devastated. Yet, the resurrection brings hope. An angel at the tomb specifically mentions Peter, inviting him to witness the risen Christ, a gesture of inclusion and grace. In John 21:1-19, Jesus appears to the disciples by the Sea of Galilee, setting the stage for Peter's restoration. Through a series of three questions mirroring Peter's three denials, Jesus reaffirms Peter's role, instructing him to "feed my lambs" and "take care of my sheep." This exchange signifies Peter's complete restoration and his renewed mission to lead and nurture the early church. A Personal Encounter with Forgiveness Pastor Chris suggests that Peter's personal encounter with Jesus post-resurrection, though not detailed in the Gospels, was a moment of profound forgiveness. This private meeting likely addressed Peter's guilt and shame, freeing him from the burden of his past mistakes. The sermon emphasizes that forgiveness precedes restoration, aligning with the biblical pattern of sin, grace, and renewed purpose. Living Out Forgiveness The sermon concludes with a call to embrace forgiveness in our own lives. Just as Peter was forgiven and restored, we too are invited to experience the liberating power of God's grace. This forgiveness is not just for personal peace but equips us for a greater purpose in God's kingdom. By embracing forgiveness, we are restored to our intended role, much like Peter was called to lead and serve. The sermon challenges us to reflect on our own need for forgiveness and the responsibility that comes with being forgiven. Conclusion Pastor Chris's message is a powerful reminder of the limitless nature of God's forgiveness and the transformative journey of restoration. As we reflect on Peter's story, we are encouraged to seek forgiveness, embrace our restored purpose, and actively participate in God's work in the world. For further reflection, read Matthew 18:21-22 and John 21:1-19 to explore the themes of forgiveness and restoration in Peter's journey.

DIfferent people come to Jesus in different ways. Today we learn about some of the diciples and how they came to hear about and follow the Messiah.

n this eye-opening sermon, Rev. Roland Anang emphasizes that Christian life, victory over sin, boldness, and destiny fulfillment are impossible without a genuine personal encounter with God. Using the lives of Moses and Samuel, he reveals how encounters with the Invisible God transforms values, strip away fear, and empower believers to forsake sin, routine religion, and spiritual complacency. This message challenges believers to move beyond activity, routine, and religious familiarity into living encounters with truth, because truth doesn't just inform—it makes and transforms.   

Summary: "Mystery" — Tim's Ra Contact Night Opening Doug offered an invocation acknowledging the group as the One Infinite Creator experiencing itself, emphasizing that living life through intention becomes the gift returned to the Creator—"giving back the glory." Core Teaching: The Nature of Mystery Tim structured his presentation around Ra's statement that "all begins and ends in mystery" (28.1), weaving together personal testimonies, Ra quotations, and contemplative reflection. The Paradox of Third Density Tim opened with a central paradox: Third density is explicitly not the density of understanding, yet we are compelled to seek understanding. Ra states: "We are those who are of the Law of One. In our vibration the polarities are harmonized, the complexities are simplified, the paradoxes have a solution. We are one. That is our nature and our purpose." (Ra, 1.1) Yet for third-density beings, paradox remains unresolved—and this is by design. As Tim noted, "Seeking for understanding while we do not pass go, collect $200... somehow, we have to find mystery and flow with it while living life." Personal Encounters with Mystery Members shared formative experiences of touching mystery: Tim — At age 11, watching snow fall through a lamplight window in Utah. "What I felt was not conceptual... just pure experience. Almost just experiencing mystery or the stillness." Russell — A canoe trip in the Boundary Waters under starlight, feeling something supernatural was about to happen. "Was I about to be revealed in mystery, and I said no?" Troy — Age 5–7, experiencing the strangeness of being: "It's so strange to be me." He had to reassure himself: "You are you, and that's all there is to it." He identified this as touching "the infinite mystery of beingness." Doug — His UFO encounter in first grade. Ra speaks of the Confederation using sightings "to evoke mystery" and call the viewer "into a deeper mystery" (53.3). Beyond this, Doug noted a chronic existential mystery: "Who am I in this situation?" Nathan — A precognitive dream of a green-painted iron stake that manifested the same morning—an impossible puzzle piece that "rattled around my whole life until I found the Law of One." Clara — As a child running to her parents' room during storms, she would see a picture of an angel with two children on a bridge. Years later, her mother insisted no such picture ever existed. "Somewhere I knew I was protected." Ra's Teaching on Mystery and the Archetypical Mind (Sessions 96–97) Tim traced Don Elkins's attempts to "purify" the tarot by removing corrupted additions. Ra cooperated but then offered this correction: "It is not possible to offer what you may call a pure deck... The removal of all distortion is unlikely, and to a great extent, unimportant." (96.4) Tim identified this as one of the most liberating teachings in the material. Don's desire to "figure things out" mirrors our own seeking—yet Ra gently redirects: "May we ask the student to look up from inward working and behold the glory, the might, the majesty, mystery, and the peace of oneness." (97.9) The archetypical mind, Ra explains, "does not resolve any paradox or bring all into unity. This is not the property of any resource which is of the third density" (97.9). The tarot, the mind complex, conceptual frameworks—none can deliver final resolution. What they can do is develop "the faculty of faith and of the will." Mystery as Self-Recognition Troy's childhood experience became the interpretive key. Tim observed: "Ra makes it very clear that the mystery is our encounter with our true nature. It's us learning and turning to see ourselves and kind of surprising ourselves." The One Infinite Creator knows itself through infinite perspectives. What we touch externally as "mystery"—snowfall, starlight, a strange dream—is actually recognition of something within. We are the mystery. Ra states: "The rhythms are clothed in mystery, for they are being itself" (97.9). Doug's earlier writing captured this: "We ARE the mystery... the wholeness of the sacred universe whose form is structured by sacred geometry exists inside of you and me." Mystery and the Limits of Understanding Tim quoted a Talmudic saying: "Ain mazal l'Yisrael" — "For Israel, there is no fate." Despite all astrological and karmic factors, we possess agency. The stars do not control our destiny; we can "play with the mystery however we want to manifest it." Ra's teaching reinforces this. While the veil creates conditions of not-knowing, we retain the capacity for choice. The mystery is not obstacle but invitation. Integration: Love, Light, and the Mystery Doug offered a framework for understanding mystery's relationship to love and light: Mystery — Not something we cannot know, but something we can know infinitely without ever exhausting. Each new route to truth "enlightens and enlivens the core." Love — The energy to explore mystery. "The seeking, the luring... the hounds of heaven constantly barking to keep going further." Light — The consciousness, the gnosis, the "Eureka" of a moment where mystery unfolds. Then it "collapses back down into the next rung of the ladder, where we are now beckoned to explore the mystery in more complex ways." DeMarcus's Synthesis DeMarcus connected Hindu cosmology to Ra's teaching: "There's an ancient Vedic scripture that says not even the gods and goddesses are able to understand the nature of Brahman." He noted that even sixth-density entities experience mystery, and eighth-density remains incomprehensible to those in fifth. "Mystery seems to be the great attractor... almost the reason for experience. It all begins in mystery, it's what starts the creation, it all ends in mystery." Closing Reflection: Sri Aurobindo's Savitri Tim concluded with verses from Sri Aurobindo's epic poem (Book 9, Canto 1): Because thou hast chosen to share earth's struggle and fate, And leaned in pity over earthbound men, And turned aside to help and yearned to save, I bind by thy heart's passion thy heart to mine. Now will I do in thee my marvelous works. When all thy work in human time is done, In the heart of my creation's mystery, I will enact the drama of thy soul, Inscribe the long romance of thee and me. Troy responded: "One of the most beautiful bits of interaction with God and soul that I've ever heard." Closing Prayer (Troy) "Holy One, Beyond all knowing, You stir the depths where words cannot reach. In stillness, we bow before your mystery—not to solve, but to adore. Open our hearts to wonder, that in all we cannot grasp, we may find you waiting. Amen." Community Notes Doug proposed that next week's gathering include personal introductions—each member sharing who they are and what brings them to Building 4th. Tim emphasized that mystery unites us across time and culture, citing a 700-year-old Zen poem by Musō Soseki describing the same bone-chilling stillness he experienced as a child in Utah. The evening modeled the community's practice: weaving Ra Material, contemplative poetry, and lived experience into collective seeking.

The Discomfort of the Sales Funnel Have I said how funnels feel icky to me? Well, hey there. Welcome back. Do you like funnels? I don’t mean like for refilling your oil or delicious funnel cakes. I mean, well, let’s let’s talk about this. So, as many of you know, there’s a concept called the sales funnel. It’s a process where you get someone into a process and kind of help them along the way to purchase your product. Now, you don’t see this that often with physical products. There’s a whole different way of dealing with that, but you do see it for services, especially certain kinds of services. And sure enough, if it’s a service that kind of gives you pause, it’s probably one that has a funnel associated with it. Funnels don’t feel good, no matter how well they’re built. And if you’re like me, you know right away when you’re in one. Are you in one now? Are you thinking that right now that by listening to my podcast, you’re in my funnel? Because if you’re listening to the podcast, doesn’t it mean that you’re starting to kind of buy into how uh I approach things, which means you might actually buy one of my books and then you might actually hire me to speak or to coach you. So, Mark, isn’t this a funnel? Well, not intentionally. I mean, there’s nothing making you move forward. Nothing in this podcast builds momentum. There is a bumper at the end right when you normally turn it off that says, “Hey, if you like this, you know, you can buy my books or do this or do that or whatever, but it’s not really a funnel. My books tell you a little bit about the other stuff that I do, but mostly they just say, “Hey, here’s the other stuff I do.” And uh if you want to rate this, that’d be great. I don’t go out of my way when it comes to coaching people to shove them into a funnel either to get them to pay, to get them to buy. I want them to make an informed decision. So, does that make me definitely not an expert on funnels? It definitely makes me someone who doesn’t construct them very well because I’m too focused on the product. Funnels vs. Professional Processes Attorneys don’t really need a sales funnel because they have sort of a a process in place. You go talk to the receptionist or their secretary and then make a plan to have a consult and then go from there. There are engagement letters and so forth. The same is true for real estate. If if you’re looking at a home, then typically the site you’ve looked at the home on is already tracking you, your IP address, everything. It’s very detailed and it’s kind of cool and it’ll keep reaching out to you and touching you and saying, “Hey, uh, you know, you looked at this 3 days ago, blah blah blah.” So, that’s a a funnel. A Personal Encounter with a Pushy Funnel Having said all of that, let me tell you about the experience I just had which is prompted me to do this for you. As you know, if you’re an avid listener that some of these recordings are 10 minutes long about things like this that we can learn together with and some of these recordings are about an hour long and there are people that I find super interesting that I hope you find as interesting. Sometimes I have to pursue someone for a while and it’s just because they’re very popular. They’re public figures. They’re busy. they have a certain kind of schedule or, you know, they may need a little bit more vetting of me to finally get back to me. But all in all, it it works pretty well. And again, as I said in the CEO mindset, people of the kind of mindset that I typically ask on the show where people will say, “Okay, let’s do it.” And then 2 days later, we’re doing it. In addition to having people on my show, I typically appear on other podcasts and shows. So, every so often I’m approached and I have a service uh that I use and every so often I get an email that says, “Hey, would you like to be on the show?” and and so on so forth. And different people have different processes. Some people are like me where they are the booker as well as the person conducting the interview. So, other some people have some buffers in between. Well, I recently agreed to one of these fact-finding 15-minute meetings only to find that the meeting was actually 30 minutes and only 15 minutes was spent on me and the rest of the time was trying to shove me into this person’s funnel in which this person sort of sold something that they believed I would benefit from. and it only cost $10,000. Now, for me, they would do $9,000. It was obvious to me from the moment the first question was asked, I knew that question had nothing to do with my appearance on the show and had everything to do with this funnel. Have I said how funnels feel icky to me? because I’m naively under the belief that you can actually have a customer interaction in which you sort of vet them while they’re vetting you and you’re not shoving them into a funnel. Because again, I think a funnel is something different than a process. A process is just saying, “Hey, you know, I kind of I kind of want to talk to you. You seem to be interested.” And you could argue and say, “Well, Mark, that is a funnel.” But a funnel by its physical shape kind of shows you how you get to the point where you’re falling. You’re you’re you’re you’re trapped. You’re you’re being plunged faster and faster until the end of it. The Financial Pressure Cooker And that’s how I felt for a number of minutes. At the very tip of this funnel, where I was swirling at nearly the speed of light, I was then told that I could pay for this using credit cards and that I should put the total on a credit card to give to them. And then I should put that total from that credit card onto another credit card and keep rolling it around. And that way I could, and I quote, avoid the interest. Oh, now correct me if I’m wrong, if you disagree with me, but if you’re telling someone how to pay for something and you’re coming up with very clever ways to do it, you’re not really focusing on the process or the solution. Now, of course, if you have a payment plan in place, if it’s something that you can do via subscription, if you have various products, and everyone does. Everyone from real estate to banking and so forth, typically have some sort of product or financial product. People who sell higher ticket items typically partner with merchant accounts. The very basic level is that you accept credit cards and then it gets better from there. you actually accept bank transfers and you actually accept different kinds of payment methods like Apple Pay and so on and so forth. Even in banking, there are products or different kinds of savings accounts. But if you’re wrangling someone to sort of go into a gray area financially, you know, sometimes very not that often, I I sort of wish I did the video portion of this because you’d see the look on my face. It was just incredible. Integrity Over Tactics So, I think this is a really spicy lesson for for myself and and for other people. If you do have something like a service that is sold using what you call a funnel or your boss calls a funnel or your company calls a funnel, then I think it’s the most mindful thing to do to consider how your customer sees it. Does your customer see the funnel or is it invisible? I’m sure there are people who are sales experts who talk about that all the time where they say if you can’t see the selling then you’re doing it right. I don’t know how to make you a million dollars overnight. I do know how to show you how to have integrity and to have a good product. I can tell you that human beings want to be treated as human beings. And I can tell you that you, someone who’s listening to this podcast, is probably someone who knows all of that right now. It’s probably how you conduct yourselves. You are probably someone who really does operate with integrity that you will probably even pass up what some would consider to be an easy sale because you know in the long run it’s probably not a good fit for your client and might actually cause some hardship. So I want to say if you’re that kind of person and my bet is on the fact that you definitely are that kind of person and kudos to you. Kudos to you for having integrity and trying to just have the best product or service or both and not the best funnel and thanks for allowing me to share that with you. I appreciate you Thought-Provoking Questions About Your Sales Funnel Does your sales process feel like a helping hand or a trap door? Think about the customer journey. Is it a series of informed decisions they make willingly, or does it feel like they are being pushed faster and faster toward a transaction they might not be ready for? Is your funnel “visible” to the customer? Can your potential client feel the mechanics of the sale happening to them? If they can sense that your questions are designed solely to qualify them for a sale rather than to understand their needs, the integrity of the interaction is compromised. Are you prioritizing the product or the payment method? If a significant portion of your sales conversation is spent explaining clever or gray-area financial gymnastics to afford your service, have you lost focus on the value of the solution itself? Would you pass up an easy sale for the sake of integrity? If your funnel works too well and captures people who aren’t actually a good fit, do you have the integrity to let them go, or does the system demand you close the deal regardless of the long-term hardship it might cause the client? Would you think a simple to-do list that allows you to throw things into the future for follow up would help you feel less pressured to keep nagging people? If so, check out checkmark.

What if Havana Syndrome is only the visible symptom of something much bigger?In this interview, Jesse Beltran (retired firefighter/paramedic) shares his investigation into Havana Syndrome, alleged RF (radiofrequency) targeting, and the concept of “Homo Borggen / Homo Borg Genesis” or “forced transhumanism” or “cyborgisation”.He has tested large groups of civilians and professionals using RF detection tools, discusses a case involving alleged “biosensors” removed from a woman (Bonnie Keller), and outlines why he believes the phenomenon may be technological rather than psychological — including claims about frequencies that “follow” certain people.We also explore broader implications: surveillance tech, digital ID, 5G/6G narratives, and the ethics of behavioural modification research.————————————————

Neoborn Caveman opens with a satirical reflection on life's mutual interactions and unfulfilled expectations, critiquing government and corporate intrusions—like dynamic pricing scams and AI coercion (e.g., Grok's 'hallucinations')—that undermine sovereignty and privacy. NC condemns Minnesota's teachers' union for promoting early sex education (including incest concerns), spotlights Jim McMurtry's Kafkaesque Canadian case, debunks alien/UFO distractions amid elite war games and military resource exploitation, and explores historical injustices through Proclamation 1625's Irish enslavement under British rule, calling for monarch reparations while drawing parallels to African slavery.

Send us a textThe curtain is pulled back on Scientology's enigmatic leader as Marc and Claire Headley share firsthand accounts of David Miscavige from their combined 30+ years inside the organization's headquarters. Their candid stories reveal a man obsessed with control, prone to humiliating outbursts, and increasingly paranoid about those around him.From bizarre personal encounters (like Miscavige mocking Marc about a Depeche Mode singer's suicide attempt) to shocking revelations about his daily routine, the Headleys paint a vivid picture of what happens when absolute power corrupts absolutely. Miscavige emerges as a micromanager who demands compliance reports for even the smallest tasks—like placing rubber mats under urinals—while simultaneously keeping his inner circle small and suspicious of everyone else.The conversation takes particularly illuminating turns when discussing Miscavige's unusual relationship with Tom Cruise. According to widespread reports, Scientology's leader accompanied Cruise and Katie Holmes on their honeymoon, raising eyebrows about the nature of celebrity treatment within the organization. The Headleys also detail how Miscavige lost $30 million of L. Ron Hubbard's money in bad investments, including fake oil wells and bogus treasure hunting schemes, yet managed to blame others for these financial disasters.Perhaps most disturbing are the accounts of physical and emotional abuse. Claire recounts being forced to drag Miscavige across a room while he held onto her clothing, telling her and other executives they were his "ball and chain." These personal stories provide crucial context for understanding how Scientology operates under his leadership and why former members continue speaking out despite the organization's reputation for aggressive retaliation against critics.Send us your Fake Navy Davey doll photos to enter our monthly contest and help support the Aftermath Foundation's work helping people escape Scientology!Support the showBFG Store - http://blownforgood-shop.fourthwall.com/Blown For Good on Audible - https://www.amazon.com/Blown-for-Good-Marc-Headley-audiobook/dp/B07GC6ZKGQ/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Blown For Good Website: http://blownforgood.com/PODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2131160 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blown-for-good-behind-the-iron-curtain-of-scientology/id1671284503 RSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2131160.rss YOUTUBE PLAYLISTS: Spy Files Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWtJfniWLwq4cA-e...

Welcome, "@a Glance" listeners! Today we talk about Christ's encounters with three people in the Gospels and relate it to our approach with God today.

Read OnlineWhen Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.” Luke 5:8Consider carefully this very moving action of Simon Peter. Jesus had just begun His public ministry, healing Simon's mother-in-law as one of His first miracles. After that, Simon witnessed Jesus heal many other sick people and cast out many demons. And then, shortly after these initial miracles, Jesus got into the boat of Simon, directed him to “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” As soon as Simon obeyed, he caught so many fish that they needed a second boat to come and help them. The response of Simon to this additional miracle is recorded above.Three things take place in this passage. First, “Simon Peter saw this…” And though he saw this, literally with his eyes, we should see his “seeing” as something even deeper. Simon Peter saw not just the best day of fishing he had ever had. He saw God's grace at work through Jesus and was deeply moved interiorly by what he saw. Jesus used that which was one of the most central parts of Simon Peter's life (fishing) to manifest His divine power. In a sense, Jesus brought this lesson home to Simon, using fishing as the source of His lesson.Secondly, Simon's response was perfect. By encountering this divine miracle, Simon immediately was aware of his sin. Though we do not know what Simon's sin was, it is clear that this encounter with our Lord led him to immediately call to mind whatever he was guilty of. Perhaps he had struggled with some ongoing habitual sin for years, or perhaps he had done something of a grave nature that still haunted him. But all we know is that Simon's encounter with this very powerful and personal miracle moved him to an awareness of his sin.Thirdly, Simon falls at the knees of Jesus and tells the Lord to depart from him. And though Jesus' mercy is so great that Jesus would never depart from him, Simon is not only aware of the fact that he is unworthy to be in Jesus' presence, but he also manifests this conviction through his humble action of repentance. What does Jesus do? He said, “Do not be afraid…” And when these new disciples arrived at shore, “they left everything and followed him.”Each one of us must encounter our Lord in this same way. We must see Jesus. We must be deeply attentive to Him. We must recognize His presence, hear His voice and see His action in our life. If this is done well and through faith, then our personal encounter with our Lord will shine light on the sin we need to repent of. This is not so that we remain in guilt and shame; rather, it is so that we can also humble ourselves before Jesus and acknowledge we are not worthy of Him. When this humble admission is done well, we can be assured that Jesus will also say to us, “Do not be afraid.” His consoling words to us must then be responded to with the same choice made by Simon and the others. We must be ready and willing to leave everything behind so as to follow Him.Reflect, today, upon this image of Simon Peter on his knees before Jesus. See his humility and honesty. See his sincerity and interior awareness. And see his understanding of the divine power of Jesus before him. Pray that you, too, will see our Lord, experience your sin, humble yourself before Him and hear Him call you to radically and completely follow after Him wherever He leads. My consoling Lord, You manifested Your almighty power to Simon Peter through his ordinary daily activity. You allowed him to see Your divine power at work. Help me to see You at work in my life also, dear Lord. And as I see You, help me to humble myself before You, acknowledging my unworthiness. As I do, I pray that I also hear You say to me “Do not be afraid,” so that I can get up and follow You wherever You lead. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Konrad Witz, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Lubna Zaidi joins The Winston Marshall Show for a fearless conversation on Islam in Britain, extremism, and the cultural crisis tearing the UK apart.From her rise as a YouTuber after The Apprentice to becoming a lightning rod for controversy, Lubna explains why she began calling out her own community for failing to integrate, excusing extremism, and protecting grooming gangs. She describes the backlash—death threats, intimidation, and even people turning up at her home—simply for speaking uncomfortable truths.They discuss the silence of so-called moderates, the dominance of extremist voices online, and the dangerous culture of denial around honour-based violence and child exploitation. Lubna warns that Britain is importing “hillbillies” from Pakistan without vetting, fuelling parallel societies that reject British values and put the country's future at risk.All this—grooming gangs, intimidation, failed integration, extremist apologists, and one woman's fight to tell the truth about what's really happening inside Britain's Pakistani Muslim community…Subscribe to Lubna's channel HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@Lubna.Candid-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 00:00 Introduction 01:21 Lubna Zaidi's Background and Journey to YouTube 04:00 Speaking Out: Breaking Points and Community Reactions 09:15 Cultural Clashes and Personal Experiences in the UK 19:24 Community Psychology and Reluctance to Address Issues 22:41 Pakistani Migration and Social Dynamics in the UK 27:18 Identity, Integration, and Celebrating Independence 31:18 Online Influencers and Community Representation 34:06 Religion, British Values, and Integration Challenges 40:19 India-Pakistan Tensions in the UK 47:10 Civil Unrest, Protests, and Fears of Division 51:36 Luton: Changes, Extremism, and Personal Encounters 56:13 Tommy Robinson: Perceptions and Changing Views 58:51 Patriotism, Self-Reflection, and the Israel-Palestine Conflict 01:02:09 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What if your deepest desires—even the ones that sometimes feel overwhelming or confusing—weren't obstacles to overcome but rocket fuel for your spiritual journey? In this profound exploration of authentic masculinity, Jack and Mark Schmitt unpack how the Claymore Battle Plan helps men redirect their passions toward their divine purpose.Drawing from Jack's childhood memories of adventure, battle, and beauty, we discover how these core masculine themes reflect our deepest spiritual longings. That magnetic pull toward beauty you've experienced? It's actually a divine spark designed to draw you out of yourself and into communion with God. The conversation takes a practical turn as Jack and Mark address the daily battlefield of the human heart. Rather than repressing desires or indulging them, they offer a third way: opening our passions to God and allowing Him to transform them. When you notice beauty that stirs something in you—whether a person or anything that awakens longing—you can immediately redirect that spark toward gratitude and prayer.This approach reveals an extraordinary truth: your temptations aren't roadblocks to sanctity but can set you on the very path itself. Jacks Latest Blog Young Men United in the Eucharist: Heroically Rebuilding the Three Necessary SocietiesFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalSubscribe to our Newly Resurrected YouTube Channel!Sign up for our Newsletter: https://jp2renew.org/Support the show

We discuss the inspiration behind the book, the fruit that comes from journaling, and the call to recognize the voice of the Good Shepherd.  We also reflect on allowing Jesus to be born in our hearts, encounter our wounds, and bring light to our personal darkness.  Heather's One Thing - Josiah Henley's artwork for Encountering Emmanuel and the wallpapers made by our friends at Tilma Sister Miriam's One Thing - Heather's updated advent worship playlist  Michelle's One Thing - Life in the Power of the Holy Spirit with Dr. Mary Healy (S14 E15) and the Auburn win against Texas A&M   Other Resources Mentioned:  Encountering Emmanuel Weekly Videos (sign up at the bottom of the page) Encountering Emmanuel Leaders Guide (free resource) Subscribe to our weekly newsletter    Journal Questions: In what ways am I transparent, but not vulnerable? Am I allowing Jesus to come into my heart and actually transform me? What is holding me back from letting “it be done according to [His] Word?” What parts of yourself have yet to encounter the Real Jesus?   Discussion Questions: Do you believe the Lord has something new to offer you this Advent? How are you experiencing resistance in your heart this Advent? When it comes to your faith, are you completing tasks or are you encountering Jesus Christ? How can you “wake up” from sleepwalking through life?   Quotes to Ponder: “Awake, my soul, awake! Show thy spirit, arouse thy senses, shake off the sluggishness of that deadly heaviness that is upon thee, begin to take care for thy salvation. Let the idleness of vain imagination be put to flight, let go of sloth, hold fast to diligence” (St. Anselm of Canterbury)   Scripture for Lectio: “I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.” (John 12:46)   Sponsor - Into the Deep: A Lamp & a Light is a Scripture prayer journal for women that walks you through the movements of lectio divina with prompting questions.  The journal provides 40 pre-selected Bible passages for you that are ideal for imaginative prayer.
