Mostre-me onde cedi ao inimigo e comprometi minha obediência ao Senhor, para que eu possa mudar e agir de forma correta. Não quero ser apenas um cristão do discurso, da teoria. Quero viver o cristianismo na prática. Obrigado, pois o Senhor nunca me entregará ao inimigo. Confio em Ti, na Tua graça, na Tua misericórdia. Em nome de Jesus, amém!

Homes hold memories. They hold family history, meaning, and for many, a lifetime of love. But as we age, the very places that once felt secure can quietly become harder—and riskier—to live in. Most homes in the U.S. were never designed for aging bodies. Yet many older adults feel emotionally and financially locked in. The result? Families delay important housing decisions until a crisis forces change. Today, we were joined by Harlan Accola, who leads the reverse mortgage team at Movement Mortgage, about a lesser-known option that may help older adults move into safer homes—without taking on new required monthly payments. The Hidden Danger: Falls at Home Falls are far more common—and costly—than most people realize. Roughly 30 million older Americans fall each year. About one in five of those falls results in serious injury, often leading to hospitalization. The direct medical costs alone total nearly $50 billion annually. But the emotional and lifestyle costs for families can be even greater. What's sobering is where these falls happen. Not in extreme situations—but in ordinary places: Stairways Bathrooms Entryways Narrow hallways These everyday features become obstacles as mobility changes. Why So Many Homes Don't Fit Aging Adults Most homes were built decades ago for young families in different stages of life. Only a small percentage include basic accessibility features such as: Step-free entries Main-floor bedrooms Main-floor bathrooms Wider doorways and hallways As a result, stairs, tubs, and tight spaces often push older adults toward assisted living or nursing homes—not because they want to move, but because their homes no longer support their safety. Why Many Families Feel “Stuck” Even when homeowners recognize their house isn't ideal anymore, they often hesitate to move. There are two major reasons: 1. Emotional Attachment This is the home where children were raised, and milestones were celebrated. Letting go isn't easy. 2. Financial Lock-In Many retirees either: Have very low mortgage rates (2–3%), or Own their homes outright They worry that selling means taking on a new mortgage payment—something they might regret later in life. So they stay…often until something goes wrong. A Little-Known Option: Reverse Mortgage for Purchase Many people assume a reverse mortgage is only for accessing equity in their current home. But there's another option: using a reverse mortgage at the point of purchase. Here's how it can work: A homeowner sells their current home. They use the proceeds to purchase a new, safer home. A reverse mortgage helps cover the difference. For example: Sell a $300,000 home. Purchase a $500,000 home. Use a $200,000 reverse mortgage for purchase. The key distinction? No required monthly mortgage payments for as long as the homeowner lives in the home. That opens the door to: Newer construction Energy-efficient homes Low-maintenance properties Better design for aging in place A Shift in Thinking: Prevention, Not Reaction One of the wisest principles in Scripture is found in Proverbs 27:12: “The prudent see danger and take refuge.” Housing decisions in later life should reflect that kind of prudence. Rather than waiting for: A fall A wheelchair A medical emergency Families can proactively ask: How can we use the housing wealth we've built to improve safety and quality of life—while we're still healthy? When purchasing a home for the “fourth quarter” of life, it shouldn't just be your best home—it should be your safest home. Stewarding Home Equity Wisely Interestingly, two-thirds of retirees still carry a mortgage. Even when downsizing, some may still need financing. A reverse mortgage for purchase can allow retirees to: Avoid required monthly payments Preserve some cash for investments or future needs Move into a safer home Maintain flexibility Like any financial tool, it isn't right for everyone. But for some families, it may provide a path forward they didn't realize existed. Moving Forward Housing is more than real estate—it's stewardship. It's about safety, dignity, and wise preparation for the season ahead. If you'd like to learn more about whether a reverse mortgage for purchase could fit your situation, you can explore your options at Movement.com/Faith. As with any major decision, seek wise counsel, pray for clarity, and take steps not just to protect your assets—but to protect your well-being. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: My grandfather set up 529 plans for my two older kids. If there's money left after they graduate, can I transfer it to my younger daughter? And once she's finished, could I split any remaining funds into separate accounts for each child's future family? I often hear advice to put 10% into precious metals for retirement. What's your take—and is there a biblical perspective on that? Also, in retirement, when we're living off savings, how should we think about tithing? Do we give 10% of what the nest egg produces? After caring for my mom and losing my job, I'm nearly 50, $15,000 in debt, facing eviction, and starting over with no savings. What should I prioritize first? My wife and I are newly married and plan to live full-time in an RV for ministry. We'll live on my retirement income and use the remainder for spending. Should we manage that with cash, debit, or credit?

Advocates working to accurately portray Native Americans in the K-12 education system in Texas scored a victory when the State Board of Education renewed a curriculum that was years in the making. The approval came at a time when the Trump administration and state officials pushed hard to scrub any hint of diversity from public school classrooms. Among other things, opponents of the Texas Native Studies course worried instruction about the Catholic Church's role in Indian Boarding Schools might demoralize Christian students. We'll look at what saved the Texas lessons and get a status update on some other states wrestling with efforts to accurately depict Native Americans throughout history.

The retirement mindset mentor George Jerjian explains how a second chance at life inspires him to help coach people into retirement. When George Jerjian was 52 years old, he was diagnosed with a bone tumor and given six months to live. For three weeks, he believed that was it. Then he was told he belonged to what he calls “the 2% club.” The cancer hadn't spread. He would live. That experience didn't just save his life. It reframed it. “Too often we just drift,” George said. “Even in retirement, we drift.” That word — drift — captures something many retirees feel but rarely articulate. For decades, retirement is the goal. You save. You invest. You plan. You finally reach the day when work stops. But then what? The Retirement Mirage George calls it the “retirement mirage.” Culturally, we've been sold an image: golf, travel, grandchildren, freedom from responsibility. And for a season, those things can be wonderful. But George challenges that assumption directly: “If you retire at 65, you could last till 90 and beyond these days… but what people don't realize is that no matter how much money they've saved, longevity has kind of wrecked the retirement equation.” Retirement used to be short. Now it can last 20, 25, even 30 years. That's not a vacation. That's a life stage. In the Retire Today framework, we talk about SPEND, MAKE, KEEP, INVEST, and LEAVE. But underneath all five steps is identity. Who are you when the title on your business card disappears? George put his experience plainly: “When you retire, who am I now? I'm a nobody. I'm useless.” That identity vacuum is where drifting begins. From Bucket List to Purpose George doesn't dismiss the bucket list. He just reframes it. “Don't delay that. Get on to that. Do the stuff you want to do. Because once you're satiated, you'll start looking for something more meaningful to do.” Travel. Play golf. Visit family. Do the things you've postponed. But don't confuse activity with purpose. Retirement, he argues, is a rite of passage. A hero's journey. He references Joseph Campbell's idea that “the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” In other words, the discomfort you avoid may contain the growth you need. That's why one of the first exercises George gives clients is confronting mortality: “On your deathbed, what is it you haven't yet done that you always wanted to do?” It's uncomfortable. But clarity often lives on the other side of discomfort. The D.A.R.E. Method To guide retirees through this transition, George created the D.A.R.E. method: Discover – Understand what retirement truly is (and what it isn't).Assimilate – Learn how your mind works. Shift from a fixed mindset (“I can't do this”) to a growth mindset (“I can't do this yet”).Rewire – Build new habits through repetition. The subconscious mind thrives on stability and patterns.Expand – Step into growth rather than contraction. That last one is particularly interesting. Traditionally, retirement advice has focused on shrinking. Reduce risk. Cut expenses. Preserve capital. Prepare for decline. George pushes back: “With 20 years to go, this is not the time to settle in safe investments… your life has to match your investments.” He isn't dismissing prudent planning. But he is challenging the mindset of slow fade. Retirement, in his view, is not about “drifting into oblivion.” It's about repurposing. Joy vs. Happiness Another distinction George made is between happiness and joy. “Happiness is ephemeral… it comes and goes. But joy is something you can still have even if you're going through challenging times.” Retirement won't remove hardship. Health issues, family stress, and loss still occur. But joy — rooted in gratitude and meaning — can persist. “If you're not thankful, you're not thinking,” he said, connecting gratitude to awareness. Gratitude expands possibility. Resentment contracts it. From Retirement to Repurpose Perhaps the most powerful shift in the conversation came near the end: Move from the retirement mirage → to retirement meaning → to retirement repurpose. Financial planning gives you options. But mindset determines whether you use them well. You can save diligently and still drift. Or you can treat retirement as what it truly is: not an ending, but a new beginning. And that beginning requires courage. Because if you don't choose who you'll become in retirement, drift may choose for you. Don't forget to leave a rating for the “Retire Today” podcast if you've been enjoying these episodes!

For many homesteaders, the dream is complete self-sufficiency. Producing all your own food. Depending on no one. Living independently.But is that really possible? And more importantly, is it even the right goal?In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, we're sharing why complete self-sufficiency is actually a myth and what matters far more: building practical skills and strengthening community.We discuss how focusing on skills rather than trying to do everything yourself leads to more resilience, less overwhelm, and greater freedom in your homesteading journey.You'll learn how to shift your mindset, avoid burnout, and build real, lasting resilience for your family.Read the full blog post here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/self-sufficiency-is-a-myth/Thanks to Azure Standard for sponsoring this episode!

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Jay Campbell, best known for being the testosterone replacement therapy guru shares his two-decade plus journey into the world of peptides and hormone replacement therapy and how these compounds have transformed not just physique and fat loss, but metabolic health and longevity.  This conversation goes far beyond weight loss headlines and dives into the mental benefit side of health optimization. **We get real in this episode and there's some swear words so if you're listening with kiddos around listen with caution** What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why GLP peptides are reshaping obesity treatment The power of microdosing peptides, especially GLP-1's, for sustainable results Why education is the missing link for both clinicians and patients Injectable vs oral peptides — what actually works The role of lifestyle optimization alongside peptide therapy How misinformation (and AI amplification) is distorting public perception The humanitarian mission to make peptide therapies more accessible Peptides Are a Tool — Not a Shortcut Jay emphasizes that GLP peptides can dramatically improve metabolic health but without lifestyle changes, long-term success is limited. For those who want to stay active and adventure-ready, peptides may: Improve insulin sensitivity Reduce inflammation Support fat loss Enhance recovery But they are meant to amplify effort, not replace it.   Microdosing Changes the Game One of the most powerful strategies discussed is microdosing. Rather than high-dose protocols aimed purely at appetite suppression, strategic lower dosing can: Preserve muscle mass Reduce side effects Improve metabolic flexibility Support long-term sustainability This is particularly important for athletic or active adults who don't want to lose performance while improving body composition.   Injectable > Oral Jay explains why injectable peptides remain the gold standard due to bioavailability and effectiveness. Understanding delivery method matters especially for those investing in advanced health strategies.   The Future of Obesity Treatment We're entering an era where next-generation GLP and triple-agonist peptides are transforming how we address: Insulin resistance Chronic inflammation Fat loss resistance Metabolic disease But access, education, and responsible use are critical and why Jay and I do podcasts like this!   Health Optimization as a Spiritual Practice One of the most compelling parts of the conversation: When you optimize your biology, you elevate your capacity; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Health isn't vanity. It's vitality. It's freedom. It's staying in the game.   Resources From The Show: Jay's Website - https://jaycampbell.com/ Jay's Peptide Company - https://biolongevitylabs.com/ Jay's New Book - Metabolic Awakening with GLP-1 Peptides Dr. J's March 18th, 2026 Workshop: 5:30p PST/7:30p CST (register to get the replay if you can't make it live) - The Art of Staying Your Sport or Hobby and Being Adventure Ready at Any Age    

Hello to you listening in Olympia, Washington! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. I am a storyteller of the old school. What do I mean? For over 30 years I've taught (and continue to teach) my clients and students the same thing: “Put down the paper and nobody gets hurt!” Why? Because storytellers have something to say that comes from their aliveness, which is what people most want to feel and connect with. Sharing our stories out loud brings them to light and life, and  encourages us to do what most folks fear more than snakes: stand up and speak up in public.   Story spoken aloud is what we leave of ourselves in another person. A story is an intimate lasting legacy, a permanent inheritance much like a vow or an oath. When we share our stories out loud, we connect with each other, we belong to each other. We might not realize it but we are creating a verbal promise, a vow, an oath of belonging. Think about how many times we've heard  someone say, "Repeat after me: I solemnly swear..." Marrying couples pledge faithfulness through the challenges and joys of marriage. Lawyers uphold the law, maintain client confidentiality, and act as an officer of the court. Doctors focus on ethics, patient care and societal responsibilities. Politicians preserve and defend the Constitution. US military support and defend the Constitution against all enemies. Immigrants becoming US citizens swear the Oath of Allegiance to the United States during a formal naturalization ceremony. From the time we are children in school we recite The Pledge of Allegiance, a patriotic promise of loyalty to the United States flag and the republic for which it stands. What happens when we share our stories out loud? They become real. We say what we mean, we mean what we say. We—and those hearing us—know what we stand for and what we won't stand for. Yes, you might write a story but it needs to be shared out loud to enrich and include the wider world. That's the legacy of the stories we leave in those who have heard them spoken aloud.

Even with healthy, well-selected animals, there comes a day when you have to call the vet.And when that moment comes, most of us aren't nearly as prepared as we could be.In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and veterinarian, Dr. Patrick Jones of The Homegrown Herbalist, to talk through what every homesteader should know before picking up the phone.We discuss:The importance of signalment (age, breed, sex, pregnancy status)Why taking a temperature can immediately narrow down a diagnosisThe questions your vet is likely to askWhat details matter most in an emergencyHow good observation can improve care and reduce stressThis is one of those practical, real-life conversations that helps you feel equipped instead of overwhelmed.If you raise livestock or have animals on your homestead, this episode will give you simple, actionable steps to be ready when something goes wrong.For more information (or to watch my interview with Doc Jones), visit the blog post here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/things-to-know-before-calling-the-vet/For more from Dr. Jones, visit: https://homegrownherbalist.netThanks to the sponsor of this podcast, Farmhouse Teas!

Photo: A wide shot of the west side of the WélmeltiɁ Preserve in north Lake Tahoe, Calif. (Courtesy Elizabeth Carmel) The Washoe Tribe announced its acquisition of more than 10,000 acres of land north of Lake Tahoe. This new WélmeltiɁ Preserve marks the largest tribal land return in the Sierra Nevada and third largest in California. KUNR's Mariel Day has more. The Washoe Tribe recently finalized the purchase of the land in partnership with organizations like the Wildlife Conservation Board. The land spans across from the northeast of Lake Tahoe and to about 20 miles north of Reno. Washoe Tribal Chairman Serrell Smokey says this is an opportunity for the tribe to revitalize their traditional practices, stewardship and language preservation. “The Washoe People, being removed from our lands, fought hard to get every little bit back, and now we actually have something to call ours.” Although the preserve is the first under the Waší·šiw Land Trust, they hope to acquire more of the Washoe homelands. In the meantime, Smokey hopes to start restoring the land and focus on conserving the wildlife and its natural resources – while ensuring it's a safe place for everyone. Super Bowl Halftime headliner Bad Bunny recently won three Grammys, including Album of the Year. He's from Puerto Rico and one song explores colonization in his home and Hawaiʻi. HPR's Cassie Ordonio spoke with Puerto Ricans and Hawaiians last year about the similarities between the islands. Bad Bunny's song, “Lo Que Le Paso A Hawaii”, translates to what happened to Hawaiʻi. Many locals say it highlights stark similarities and is a reminder of the islands' colonial past. Daniel Kauwila Mahi is a Native Hawaiian artist. He interpreted the song as Bad Bunny protecting his homeland by taking a political stance against statehood. Puerto Rico became a U.S. territory in 1898, six years after the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Mahi underscored that Native Hawaiian musicians have been raising issues of over tourism and sovereignty rights. These artists include, but are not limited to, Sudden Rush, Braddah Iz, and “Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's Hawai‘i ‘78”. “For this broader conversation is how Kanaka Maoli and Latino culture have been. through music since Paniolo came to Hawaii and our have have influenced each other for a lot longer than people think.” Angel Santiago-Cruz is a 69-year-old Puerto Rican who has lived in Hawai‘i for about 40 years. He joined the U.S Army with a guarantee to be stationed in Hawaiʻi. He wanted to see what statehood looks like. “What are you going to lose?” One lyric that stood to him was to never forget the lelolai. Santiago-Cruz says it's an expression from the jibaro, which is a person who is connected to the land. “When the Hawaiians say, ea, that’s an expression for your Hawaiianness, that’s an expression to the connection to the island. Lelolai is the same.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today. Download our NV1 Android or iOs App for breaking news alerts.

As I got older, I'd graze after dinner until bedtime every single night. I consumed junk food and refined foods in the military while my life was high in stress and low in sleep. In college, I dealt with more stress, drank lots of coffee, and ate more junk food. Side effects of my unhealthy diet included:• Ulcers • Liver and gallbladder problems • Referred pain in the right shoulder • Restless legs syndrome• Nervousness • Insomnia • Dry eyes • Severe arthritis • Kidney stones I weighed 211 pounds, but the food I was eating was not satisfying! Refined carbs and sugar stimulate dopamine, which is not a pleasure neurotransmitter. Dopamine is an anticipatory neurotransmitter. The more you have, the more your body wants. If you eat too much junk food, you can develop dopamine resistance. This is what drives addiction, and why ultra-processed foods may satisfy you initially, but leave you feeling hungry an hour later. This is called dopamine hunger!You're not struggling with your diet because of a lack of willpower; it's your environment. The modern world is engineered with so many things to keep us hooked and addicted. Removing the triggers is the only solution!Ditch your unhealthy diet by focusing on your environment first. Try these steps:1. Get rid of ultra-processed foods: seed oils, starches, and sugar.2. No snacking, especially at night.3. No visible food.4. Find healthy substitutes for junk food.5. No blue light at night.6. Never go to the grocery store hungry or without a list. 7. Preserve your sleep.8. Be careful with social events.
