Anchored in the Word Morning Reflection: Season 4 Episode 133: Consequences of Christless Religion: Preoccupations Luke 20:41-21:6 #morningreflections #gospel

Introduction   Proposition: We must be available to take the gospel to all people … to target unreached people and unevangelized places.   Transition: In John 4:27–35, we discover 3 ageless, timeless obstacles to being available to take the gospel to all people … to targeting unreached people and unevangelized places.   Outline   1. Prejudice is a hindrance to availability (4:27) … “Not them!”      Whereas prejudice is a hindrance to the gospel penetrating all nations, Jesus models the universality of God's grace in 4:27.     2. Preoccupation is an obstacle to availability (4:31 to 34) … “Not that!”      The Samaritan woman forgot her …    •Purpose (compare verses 6 and 7 with 28)   •Possession (verse 28a)   •Pride (compare verses 6, 7, and 16-18 with 28 and 29)      The disciples, on the other hand, remembered their food.      Whereas preoccupation is an obstacle to the gospel reaching all people, Jesus emphasizes the priority of the gospel in 4:31-34.     3. Procrastination is a barrier to availability (4:35) … “Not time!”      Whereas procrastination is a barrier to the gospel impacting our generation, Jesus appeals to the urgency of our witness in 4:35.     Conclusion

What does perfect narcissism look like? We can see it in the evil of Satan.    I read a list the other day about the characteristics of those with narcistic personality disorder. Grandiose Sense of Self-Importance: They believe they are superior and special, deserving of exceptional treatment and recognition. Exploitative Behavior: They manipulate and take advantage of others to get what they want, often without remorse or guilt.  Arrogance and Conceit: They often come across as arrogant and boastful, displaying a sense of superiority. Difficulty Handling Criticism: They react negatively to any perceived criticism, becoming defensive and angry.  Preoccupation with Success and Power: They are often fixated on fantasies of success, power, brilliance, or beauty. Entitlement: An unreasonable expectation of favorable treatment and special privileges, believing they deserve more than others.  Lack of Empathy: Difficulty understanding or sharing the feelings of others, often dismissing or invalidating their emotions.  Need for Admiration and Attention: A constant craving for praise, validation, and attention from others, often seeking it through manipulation or grandstanding. Envy: Experiencing envy of others or believing that others are envious of them. Unwillingness to Accept Responsibility: Blaming others for their mistakes or failures, rather than taking accountability for their actions. I think I could add an eleventh characteristic and this comes from those who have been entrapped by a narcissist into a long-term relationship. 11. An Attractive mask: They have such a beautiful, alluring presence to them that it's not until you're deep into a relationship with them that you are able to see behind the facade.   Read more here

External events can be all-consuming. Preoccupation with news events that we cannot change can ruin your day. At the same time, we need to be situationally aware of what is happening in the world. Unawareness opens the door to misinformation and manipulation by the false prophets of our time.In an age where values and truths are blurred by falsenarratives, clarity becomes essential. To understand where you stand, we need to look at history, myth, and legend for a deeper insight into the face of evil.Since the dawn of time, humanity has grappled with the eternal struggle between good and evil. Inconfronting darkness you discover who you truly are, uncovering both the light and shadow within.Within every human heart lies the shadow of darkness, butalso the capacity for great good. You are granted the power of choice, and the external world is merely a reflection of the battles waged within.#evil #spirituality #selfdevelopment #society #psychology #happiness #valuesethicsHighlights of this episode:Recognizing EvilWhat does Evil teach us?Actions you can takeInformation on Reino GeversWebsite: https://reinogevers.com/Books Social Media:FacebookLinkedInYouTubeBluesky

«Ui, das ist aber längst nicht so gut wie Yankee Hotel Foxtrot!» Öppe das war die landläufige Meinung als Wilco 2004 den Nachfolger zu ihrem vielgefeierten vierten Album ablieferten. 20+1 Jahre später wissen wir: «A Ghost Is Born» kann mit «Yankee Hotel Foxtrot» locker mithalten. Genau darum gibt's nun die Deluxe-Jubiläumsversion des Albums. Das Bonusmaterial erstreckt sich dabei auf bis zu neun CDs. Overkill oder Tausende von bislang unentdeckten Perlen?

Preacher: Pastor Mark Redfern | Series: To Seek & To Save

"My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts." – A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 8What if the thoughts filling our minds are actually remnants of the past, blocking our view of the present?In this episode of Love & Learn, we dive into Lesson 8 from A Course in Miracles Workbook, which reveals how much of our mental activity is a preoccupation with past thoughts. This lesson guides us to recognize how memories and past experiences cloud our perception, preventing us from fully engaging with the present moment. By becoming aware of these thought patterns, we open the door to experiencing life with greater clarity and presence.Key Insights on Lesson 81. The Illusion of Time in Our Thoughts:This lesson invites us to see that when we think about the past or anticipate the future, our minds are actually blank, disconnected from the present reality. The only time that truly exists is the now, and focusing on it allows us to break free from the illusion of time and connect with what is real.2. Preoccupation with the Past Blocks the Present:When our minds are filled with past thoughts, they become cluttered with “thoughtless ideas” that lack true substance. This mental clutter blocks us from seeing the world clearly and experiencing the truth of each moment. By letting go of these past-based thoughts, we open ourselves up to living more fully in the present.3. Naming Thoughts to Break the Cycle:The practice of naming each thought—“I seem to be thinking about ______”—helps us become aware of how frequently we drift into past memories or worries about the future. This awareness is the first step to breaking the habit of dwelling on old thoughts and returning to a state of peaceful presence.Remember: When we recognize that much of our mind is occupied by past thoughts, we create the opportunity to experience life as it truly is, free from the filters of memory and assumption.Tune in to join us as we uncover how releasing past thoughts allows for a clearer, more peaceful experience of the present moment!CONNECT WITH JESSICA FLINTWebsiteRetreatInstagram

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, virgin and doctor of the Church Lectionary: 456The Saint of the day is Saint Thrse of LisieuxSaint Thérèse of Lisieux's Story “I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul.” These are the words of Thérèse of Lisieux, a Carmelite nun called the “Little Flower,” who lived a cloistered life of obscurity in the convent of Lisieux, France. And her preference for hidden sacrifice did indeed convert souls. Few saints of God are more popular than this young nun. Her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, is read and loved throughout the world. Thérèse Martin entered the convent at the age of 15 and died in 1897 at the age of 24. Life in a Carmelite convent is indeed uneventful and consists mainly of prayer and hard domestic work. But Thérèse possessed that holy insight that redeems the time, however dull that time may be. She saw in quiet suffering a redemptive suffering, suffering that was indeed her apostolate. Thérèse said she came to the Carmel convent “to save souls and pray for priests.” And shortly before she died, she wrote: “I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth.” Thérèse was canonized in 1925. On October 19, 1997, Pope John Paul II proclaimed her a Doctor of the Church, the third woman to be so recognized in light of her holiness and the influence of her teaching on spirituality in the Church. Her parents, Louis and Zélie, were beatified in 2008 and canonized in 2015. Reflection Thérèse has much to teach our age of the image, the appearance, the “self.” We have become a dangerously self-conscious people, painfully aware of the need to be fulfilled, yet knowing we are not. Thérèse, like so many saints, sought to serve others, to do something outside herself, to forget herself in quiet acts of love. She is one of the great examples of the gospel paradox that we gain our life by losing it, and that the seed that falls to the ground must die in order to live. Preoccupation with self separates modern men and women from God, from their fellow human beings, and ultimately from themselves. We must re-learn to forget ourselves, to contemplate a God who draws us out of ourselves, and to serve others as the ultimate expression of selfhood. These are the insights of Saint Thérèse, and they are more valid today than ever. Saint Thérèse is the Patron Saint of: FloristsMissionariesPilotsPriests Learn more about Saint Thérèse!

Dr. Nour Shamas knows about antimicrobial resistance. As a clinical pharmacist, she was trained in how to dispense drugs to treat infections, and her graduate studies in global health policy made her aware of the threat of antimicrobial resistance, or AMR. Antimicrobial resistance develops when bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites evolve the ability to shake off the effects of drugs developed to fight them. It's one of the biggest threats to humanity – such a serious threat that the United Nations General Assembly is holding a meeting devoted to the subject. Shamas helps lead the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program at the Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs in Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. She knows about the need to preserve the drugs that still work against the many infections that threaten human life. But the issue of AMR got personal for her when her mother developed a urinary tract infection after surgery and a hospital stay. Shamas found herself working with her mother's doctors, and battling to explain to her mother how she could have developed such an infection in the first place. She also found herself fighting to get the right treatment for her mother, who lives in Lebanon, a country struggling with economic challenges, conflict, and a fragile, underfunded, and overloaded healthcare system. Now, as a member of the World Health Organization's AMR Survivors Task Force, she tells the story of how her mother still fights recurrent infections. Listen as she shares some of her story with One World, One Health. 

Today Elaine chats to poet and Storyteller Laura Thurlow about her new show River Time. We talk about the inspiration for the show, how women aren't allowed to grow old and still be beautiful as well as touching on discovering something about yourself that changes everything. River Time- Greenside@Riddles Court - Picles Studio Dates: 9th - 24th August @ 1.45 pm Tickets available here: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/river-time River Time River Time! pulls its title from one of the show's opening anecdotes. As a student in Edinburgh with unmanaged ADHD, Laura would often go for a night out on the Cowgate, perceive someone as looking at her wrong, become paranoid that her friends secretly despised her, and have a meltdown. To regulate these intense emotions, she would take moonlit walks at 4am along the water of Leith. To this day, if she texts a friend River Time, they know that she means her brain is on fire. A little understood aspect of ADHD is the resulting impact of the Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria that sits alongside it. These mood swings, this intense fear of rejection, are felt in the body as intense emotional pain. Laura's fear of rejection takes her to the river, calls her to the sea, begs her to submit to the absolution of dark waters. Better to be a beautiful corpse than a failed woman. Laura's brain is ruining her life and plotting her death. This is a one-woman treatise on deciding not to drown. River Time! discusses Hamlet's Ophelia and the life and loss of Virginia Woolf. Laura tells anecdotes of rejection and desperation – feeling adrift in one's own mind. She speaks on grief, and guilt through describing the loss of a friend who did not survive their messy student days. The show is a dark storytelling hour from a gifted comedic voice. It is nuanced and entertaining while inherently and enduringly relatable. Come along and take some River Time! Laura Thurlow Laura Cathryn Thurlow is a writer and performer based in Scotland, originally from Canada with experience performing across Europe. Her previous show, ‘A Preoccupation with Romantic Love' received critical and audience praise in Edinburgh and Camden in 2023 and was nominated for an Emerging Artist Award with The Neurodiverse Review. Laura's recent credits include being a finalist at the European Slam Final held by Commonword (Manchester), and at the Glasgow Women's Library's ‘Calm Slam', and Scottish National qualifying slams at Candlelight Open Mic & The Poetry Experiment. She has recently been a featured performer with both The Loud Poets and Spoken Word Paris. She is currently completing a Master of Literature at the University of Glasgow.

Episode 131In this episode, I share my personal journey from having a disembodied faith, which was largely intellectual and disconnected from my emotional and physical experiences, to developing an embodied faith that integrates my beliefs with all aspects of my life. I delve into what disembodied faith means, why many of us experience faith this way, and the transformative process towards embodying our faith. Through my own story of interior healing and integration, I highlight three key signs that indicate a shift towards a more incarnate, lived faith, emphasising the importance of embracing the messiness and challenges of this journey. The goal is to offer hope and understanding for those on the path to a more holistic and authentic experience of faith.Watch this recording on YouTube.Follow me on my Instagram account @animann for more material on the integration journey and subscribe to my monthly reflections on Begin Again.CHAPTER MARKERS00:00:25) - Introduction(00:03:52) - What is "Disembodied Faith"?(00:10:47) - Why is our Faith Disembodied?(00:15:27) - Three Signs of Disembodied Faith(00:15:36) - Preoccupation with Understanding the Content of our Faith(00:17:13) - Discrepancies Start to Bother Us(00:19:39) - We are more Drawn to People in Touch with their Humanity(00:21:06) - You can't Force on Yourself the "Right Thing"(00:24:09) - Befriending our Emotions(00:27:31) - Not being Afraid of Criticism(00:30:42) - Secure in Love(00:40:00) - ConclusionTRANSCRIPTAvailable here.REFLECTION PROMPTDo you struggle to make an authentic self-gift of yourself without abandoning yourself?

With so much information coming at us (and so fast), we can easily end up settling for a superficial, surface knowledge of things. Hebrews 3 takes us beneath the surface of faith in Jesus and invites us to stay there – to make him the daily preoccupation of our lives. And to do so with careful observation, fierce resolve and a humble assessment of our own hearts.

The PreOccupation podcast is back, this time with some reflections on the difficulty of telling the Palestinian story, and a deep dive into one of the most neglected and ignored segments of Palestinian society. Enjoy!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preoccupation-a-not-so-brief-history-of-palestine/donations

It's one thing to tell a story, it's another to do it in a way that does justice to the topic. In much of the discussion of Palestine, the focus lies squarely on Palestinians largely in relation to their interactions to the Zionist project. But there it more to dive into, and more to discuss beyond simple counter-hasbara. Partisan Brigade member James is joined by Bassam, the brains behind the podcast PreOccupation: A Not-So-Brief History of Palestine to talk about his work and the critical importance of how we frame and discuss Palestinian history, and how doing so effectively can be an effective means of inoculating people against hasbara before we even have to get to the point of refuting it.

JOIN THE BJDW COMMUNITY HERE From the moment we cracked open the pages of her book, “Free Of Me, Why Life Is Better When It's Not About You,” we knew we needed Sharon Hodde Miller's wisdom on this pod, and we're incredibly grateful she accepted our invitation. In a world saturated with the "me" mentality, Sharon shines a light on the pervasive impact of self-centeredness across every facet of our lives. It's a message that infiltrates our friendships, marriages, and even our faith, fracturing each in unique yet profound ways. Pursuing self-improvement often leaves us joyless, our souls diminished, trapped in the cycle of perpetual insecurity. Sharon helps us unpack the intricacies of "image management," exposing its corrosive effect on relationships, where individuals are reduced to mere reflections of our own self-image. Through personal anecdotes and profound insights, she guides us through the labyrinth of toxic thought patterns, offering tangible strategies rooted in God's attributes for healing and restoration. Sharon challenges us to shift our gaze away from ourselves, unveiling a path of profound healing and freedom in loving God and others. Together, we explore the delicate balance between self-care and self-neglect, emphasizing the inherent worth of embracing our identity as beloved daughters of God. We also have a candid chat about the ebbs and flows of waiting seasons, urging us to embrace humility and openness to the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. It's a journey that promises growth, refinement, and, ultimately, freedom from the suffocating grip of self-preoccupation. Join us as we embark on this transformative expedition towards a life liberated from the confines of self.   You can follow Sharon on Instagram at @sharonhmiller.  Check our her books on Amazon:  The Cost of Control by Sharon H.

Welcome to our lenten reflection. Today' we focus on what is true glory and preoccupation with the defence of our rights.  Watch video podcast hereKey quote from today's episode taken from Divine Intiamcy:"Preoccupation with the defense of our rights continually distracts us from our ideal of union with God, deprives us of interior peace, and finally, involves us in so many worldly cares that it will often be an occasion of failing in charity and even in justice toward our neighbor. For it is very difficult, if not impossible, to keep up the defense of our own rights without more or less injuring the rights of others.

Full Text of ReadingsTwenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 136The Saint of the day is Saint Thrse of LisieuxSaint Thérèse of Lisieux's Story “I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul.” These are the words of Thérèse of Lisieux, a Carmelite nun called the “Little Flower,” who lived a cloistered life of obscurity in the convent of Lisieux, France. And her preference for hidden sacrifice did indeed convert souls. Few saints of God are more popular than this young nun. Her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, is read and loved throughout the world. Thérèse Martin entered the convent at the age of 15 and died in 1897 at the age of 24. Life in a Carmelite convent is indeed uneventful and consists mainly of prayer and hard domestic work. But Thérèse possessed that holy insight that redeems the time, however dull that time may be. She saw in quiet suffering a redemptive suffering, suffering that was indeed her apostolate. Thérèse said she came to the Carmel convent “to save souls and pray for priests.” And shortly before she died, she wrote: “I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth.” Thérèse was canonized in 1925. On October 19, 1997, Pope John Paul II proclaimed her a Doctor of the Church, the third woman to be so recognized in light of her holiness and the influence of her teaching on spirituality in the Church. Her parents, Louis and Zélie, were beatified in 2008 and canonized in 2015. Reflection Thérèse has much to teach our age of the image, the appearance, the “self.” We have become a dangerously self-conscious people, painfully aware of the need to be fulfilled, yet knowing we are not. Thérèse, like so many saints, sought to serve others, to do something outside herself, to forget herself in quiet acts of love. She is one of the great examples of the gospel paradox that we gain our life by losing it, and that the seed that falls to the ground must die in order to live. Preoccupation with self separates modern men and women from God, from their fellow human beings, and ultimately from themselves. We must re-learn to forget ourselves, to contemplate a God who draws us out of ourselves, and to serve others as the ultimate expression of selfhood. These are the insights of Saint Thérèse, and they are more valid today than ever. Saint Thérèse is the Patron Saint of: FloristsMissionariesPilotsPriests Learn more about Saint Thérèse!

Mary Oliver wrote that "empathy is a kind of seeing, and it involves imagination as well as vision."The word "empathy" has origins in Greek "Empatheia" and the root "pathos," which means "feeling." It was first introduced to the English language in the early 20th century as a translation of the German word "Einfühlung," which means "feeling into." The term was initially used in the context of aesthetics and art appreciation.Over time, the concept of empathy has evolved to encompass a broader range of psychosocial processes associated with 1) affective empathy (experiencing or sharing the emotions of another) and/or 2) cognitive empathy (understanding the perspective of another). Empathy is a crucial component of emotional intelligence and the development of meaningful relationships.The opposite of empathy is apathy or the lack of feeling. So as a virtue, empathy can be the foundation for generating compassion and a motivating energy for prosocial behavior. However, it could also be argued that the value of empathy is unstable on its own and may need to be balanced with rationality and discernment in order to navigate between the extremes of excessive empathy and calloused indifference. Otherwise, the drawbacks involve our susceptibility to emotional exploitation as targets of manipulative marketing or weaponized empathy. There is also the risk of empathy distorting facts as evidenced by proximity bias (preference for those close in distance or likeness) and other modes of selective empathy, short-term focus, and the prioritization of identifiable individuals (stories) over large groups or abstract statistics. These limitations have inspired the effective altruisim movement which aims to update our evolutionary empathy instincts to match the often complex modern social problems.Additionally, unbound empathy can lead to distress and burnout. Preoccupation with the feelings of others can result in decision paralysis or the hindering of our ability to respond timely and skillfully. When a river floods its own banks, it turns turbulent and loses the balance that sustained its nourishing flow; or like the tides of the sea, we naturally require a cycle of rising and retreating.Ultimately, empathy's true spiritual power reorients to our recurring theme of kindness and discovering our underlying circulation with totality. Feeling into oneness. It is an elegant common cornerstone among most major religions. At the heart of their moral philosophy, the empathic aphorisms enshrine the same message in colorful ways. Beyond "The Golden Rule," other verses include "the whole world is a family" in the Rigveda, "all beings are Buddha nature" in the Lotus Sutra, and "be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle," attributed to Philo of Alexandria.This episode explores the ends of empathy in all its bittersweetness.(Music “To New Beginnings” by Bing Satellites)

Most of us have had déjà vu – that feeling that what you are experiencing now, you have somehow experienced before. This episode begins with some interesting insight into what it is, why it happens and when it is most likely to occur. Source: Marie Jones author of The Déjà Vu Enigma (https://amzn.to/3xB94j3). Humans have the need to own things according to psychologist Bruce Hood, author of the book Possessed: Why We Want More Than We Need (https://amzn.to/3iRBpxv) Even when you were a child, you knew that your teddy bear or blanket belonged to you and only you. You owned it. As adults we not only like to own things, we like to own nice things and the more the better – which can sometimes get us in trouble. Listen as Bruce explains what it means to own something and why it feels good to be an owner. Does America have a cuisine? Sort of but it's really made up of foods from other cultures that we have adapted and incorporated into our culture to suit our tastes according to David Page, author of the book Food Americana (https://amzn.to/3xy0EZO). David, who is an Emmy-award winning producer of food television programs takes us on a journey to explore the origins of some of our most popular American foods including pizza, ice cream, barbecue – and why the reason there is likely a Mexican restaurant not too far from you is all because of Taco Bell.
