Podcasts about Provision

In dieser Folge blicken wir ehrlich und nüchtern auf das Bitcoin-Jahr 2025 zurück. Wir sprechen darüber, warum viele Erwartungen – insbesondere rund um Preisentwicklung und Bullrun – nicht erfüllt wurden und weshalb nahezu alle Prognosen, auch unsere eigenen, danebenlagen. Der ausbleibende Hype, fehlendes Retail-Interesse sowie politische und regulatorische Themen standen dieses Jahr stärker im Fokus als Bitcoin selbst. Außerdem ordnen wir Entwicklungen wie die MiCA-Regulierung, den Einfluss von Staaten und Institutionen und die Frage nach dem Ende klassischer Bitcoin-Zyklen ein. Zum Abschluss geben wir einen vorsichtigen Ausblick auf 2026 und sprechen darüber, wie es mit dem Podcast weitergeht.

In dieser Folge spreche ich über die oft genannte Ausrede „Glück“ und warum sie gefährlich sein kann, obwohl sie natürlich eine gewisse Rolle spielt. Ich erkläre, dass hinter meiner heutigen Situation harte Arbeit, viele Fragen, Ausprobieren und vor allem eine starke Obsession für meine Projekte steckt. Es geht darum, dass Erfolg nicht nur vom Startpunkt oder Glück abhängt, sondern davon, wie sehr man sich reinhängt und bereit ist, dranzubleiben. Ich reflektiere über meine Reise, ziehe Parallelen zu anderen Lebenswegen und betone, wie wichtig Fokus, Verantwortung und Leidenschaft sind.

#97Receiving his Provision. Trusting his Love.What does it mean to truly rest in a love that provides, restores, and holds us through every season of life?In this episode of Receiving his Provision, Trusting his Love we explore the quiet miracles that unfold when we stop striving and begin trusting the divine love that has always been pursuing us. Through vulnerable reflection and spiritual insight, we dive into what it looks like to release fear, loosen our grip on control, and open ourselves to God's intentional, abundant provision.We unravel the difference between living from scarcity and living from surrender, and how allowing ourselves to be loved - without condition - marks the beginning of real transformation. This is an invitation into deeper faith, deeper identity, and a deeper knowing of the One who provides for our needs before we even speak them.Chantelle Raven Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_chantelleraven/Sofia Sundari Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sofiasundari/Tantric membership for warrior of Love: Join Sanctuary

In this powerful message, Provision for the Vision, Pastor Sean Pinder teaches how God always supplies what is needed to fulfill His divine plan. Using the story of the wise men, this message reveals how God orchestrates people, resources, and timing to support the vision He has placed in your heart. When God gives a vision, He also makes a way—often through unexpected channels—to ensure that His purposes are accomplished.This teaching will encourage you to trust God beyond what you can see or understand. As you pursue what He has called you to do, you'll be reminded that lack never cancels God's plan and delay does not mean denial. Provision for the Vision will strengthen your faith to move forward confidently, knowing that God's supply is already in motion and perfectly aligned with His will.

In dieser Folge erkläre ich, wie man als normaler Angestellter in der Schweiz realistisch von 0,01 Bitcoin zu einem ganzen Bitcoin kommen kann – ganz ohne Lotto, Shitcoins oder Trading, sondern mit konstanten Sparplänen. Ich zeige konkrete Beispiele mit monatlich 100, 250 und 500 Franken und erläutere, wie wichtig Selfcustody und die Kontrolle über die eigenen Coins sind. Der Schlüssel ist der Dollar-Cost-Average-Effekt, also regelmäßiges Investieren unabhängig vom aktuellen Kurs.

Januar 2026: Etwas geht zu Ende, etwas Neues will beginnen, auch wenn der Kopf sich noch nicht ganz erklären kann, was da aufbricht. In diesem Video nehme ich dich mit in die Human Design Transite für den Januar 2026. Wir schauen uns an, was der Wechsel von Jupiter aus Tor 62 in Tor 53 energetisch mit uns macht, warum sich so viele nach Entwicklung, Neubeginn und Abenteuern sehnen und weshalb deine Seele jetzt Erfahrungen sammeln möchte, während dein Verstand vielleicht noch zweifelt. Es geht darum, Entscheidungen nicht länger aus Angst, Mangel oder Kontrolle zu treffen, sondern aus deiner inneren Autorität und aus dem Körper heraus.Ein wichtiger Teil des Videos ist auch die Zeit rund um den Jahreswechsel. Wir sprechen darüber, wie sich die Aktivierung von Tor 38 zeigen kann, warum Spannung, Aggression und Eskalation in dieser Phase wahrscheinlicher sind und was du konkret tun kannst, um bei dir zu bleiben, statt dich in den Strudel von Drama, Streit oder Gewalt hineinziehen zu lassen.

Merry Christmas!In this heartfelt Christmas Eve service message, Pastor Karl explores the profound truth that Christmas is far more than a baby in a manger—it's the culmination of God's everlasting love story that began in the Garden of Eden.Drawing parallels between Eden and Bethlehem, Pastor Karl unpacks how God's love has always been revealed through three key ways: proximity (drawing near to walk with us), provision (supplying what we cannot provide for ourselves, including forgiveness and eternal life), and parameters (loving boundaries for our protection and flourishing).Yet humanity's response—from Adam and Eve to today—has often been to doubt God's goodness, reject His nearness, and step outside His guardrails. Even so, God's relentless love pursues us, covers our shame, and satisfies His justice through the promised Seed: Jesus Christ, whose virgin birth and sacrificial death crush the enemy's power.Pastor Karl challenges us: Many love the warm vibe of Christmas but avoid its weighty claims. True celebration means embracing God's love fully—belonging to His family, becoming like Christ, giving our lives in response, and going on mission to share His love.This message invites everyone to respond to God's pursuit, whether by placing faith in Jesus for the first time or recommitting to live in joyful obedience within His loving parameters.Join us as Pastor Karl and his son Caleb dive deeper into these truths in a special family message. Come experience the depth of God's love that didn't begin in Bethlehem—but was gloriously fulfilled there.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Pastor Michael shares a story to illustrate the tendency of humans to forget the source of their blessings, similarly to how the Israelites quickly turned to idol worship after being delivered from Egypt.

The Bible contains many stories of God's miraculous provision, but few are as rich and practical as the account of the widow's oil in 2 Kings 4:1–7. Though only seven verses long, this passage offers profound insight into how God provides for His people—and how He invites them to participate in His provision.On today's Faith & Finance, Sharon Epps, president of Kingdom Advisors, joined the program to unpack this story, one she often describes as a clear picture of “God's part and our part” in stewardship.A Crisis That Drives a Cry for HelpThe story opens with a widow in dire circumstances. Her husband, a member of the company of prophets and a man who feared the Lord, has died, leaving behind unpaid debt. With no means to repay it, she risks losing her two sons to creditors.In desperation, she cries out to the prophet Elisha for help. His response begins with a question that shapes the entire story: “What do you have in your house?”Her answer is simple and heartbreaking—nothing, except a small jar of oil.God's Part: The Source of ProvisionSharon Epps notes that God's role in this story is clear. The widow had no way to create oil, multiply it, or secure buyers for it. God alone supplied what was needed.“He was the provider of the oil,” Sharon explains, “and He also provided the buyers so the debt could be paid.” The widow's increase came entirely from God, leaving no room for self-reliance or pride.This total dependence is part of the lesson. God's provision is not something we manufacture; it is something we receive.The Widow's Part: Obedience and ActionWhile God provided the miracle, the widow was not passive. Sharon emphasizes that she played an important role.She:Asked for helpFollowed Elisha's instructionsGathered empty jarsPoured the oilSold what God multiplied“She didn't just wait for oil to appear,” Sharon notes. “She participated in the process.”This balance—God's provision paired with human faithfulness—is a pattern we see throughout Scripture.Empty Jars and Expanding FaithOne of Sharon's favorite moments in the passage comes in verse three, when Elisha tells the widow to gather empty jars from her neighbors and adds, “Don't ask for just a few.”The amount of oil multiplied was directly connected to the number of jars collected. When no vessels remained, the oil stopped flowing.Sharon describes the jars as a physical expression of faith. The widow's willingness to gather more vessels created space for God's provision.Stewardship Principles We Can Apply TodaySharon notes that God doesn't work the same miracle in every life, but the same God is always at work. From this story, she highlights several principles that still apply:1. God Is the Provider. Even our ability to work and earn comes from Him. We are always more dependent on God than we realize.2. Faithfulness Is Our Responsibility. God calls us to be faithful with what He places in front of us today—even when it feels ordinary, frustrating, or uncertain.3. Seek Wise Counsel. The widow didn't isolate herself. She sought help from the prophet, reminding us that God often provides guidance through others.4. Involve Your Family. The widow's sons helped fill the jars. Including family in financial challenges can strengthen faith and allow everyone to witness God's provision.5. Don't Bet on the Future. The widow's hardship began with unresolved debt. Sharon encourages thoughtful financial planning that considers how decisions today could affect loved ones tomorrow.Are You the Widow—or the Neighbor With Jars?Sharon also challenges listeners to view the story from a different perspective. Sometimes we are not the ones in need—we are the neighbors with empty jars.God may have already placed resources in our hands—assets, opportunities, or skills—that He wants to use to meet someone else's need.In just seven verses, the story of the widow's oil paints a powerful picture of stewardship: God provides; we respond in obedience. We rely on Him, seek wise counsel, act faithfully, and remain open to generosity.As Sharon Epps reminds us, recognizing God's role and our role brings freedom—and invites us to trust Him more fully with everything He has entrusted to us.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My 83-year-old mother just sold property and may net about $250,000 after taxes. I want to keep the money safe, liquid, and available in case she needs long-term care—whether soon or years from now.

Returning guest Jared Towers from Bay Cetology joins us on this episode of After the Breach Podcast to discuss a paper he co-authored in the Journal of Comparative Psychology, "Testing the Waters: Attempts by Wild Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) to Provision People (Homo sapiens)." Before getting into the paper, we talk a bit about the recent release of the updated Bigg's killer whale identification catalog! This is the first updated catalog since 2019 and hosts Sara and Jeff talk with Jared about the release. We move into the discussion about Jared's paper, which made international media when it was published earlier this year. What does it mean to provision people? What populations of killer whales are doing this? Why might they be doing this, what are possible motivations? What types of prey are they sharing? We discuss these questions and more with Jared, and we all share some examples of this from of our own experiences on the water with killer whales.  If you are enjoying listening to our podcast, please share this with your friends, follow/subscribe, and leave us feedback/reviews wherever you listen to podcasts! And if you'd like to join Jeff and Sara on a whale watching tour in 2026, please check out to Maya's Legacy Whale Watching to book!  You can also find us on Instagram, Facebook and Youtube.

In diesem Video spreche ich darüber, warum wir so oft das Gefühl haben, ständig etwas leisten zu müssen, nur um uns nicht wertlos zu fühlen.Es geht darum, wie schwer es uns fällt, einfach wir selbst zu sein, ohne Rollen, ohne Erwartungen, ohne dieses ständige „Ich muss funktionieren“.Ich teile, warum viele von uns ihre echten Gefühle wegdrücken und was passiert, wenn das Leben uns dann ziemlich deutlich zeigt, dass wir uns von uns selbst entfernt haben.Es geht um Authentizität, um Ehrlichkeit mit sich selbst und darum, die eigenen Schatten nicht länger zu bekämpfen, sondern sie anzuschauen und wieder anzunehmen.Im Grunde ist es eine Einladung, wieder näher zu dir zu kommen.Echter zu werden.Dich selbst nicht mehr wegzudrücken.Wenn du das Gefühl kennst, immer leisten zu müssen oder Angst hast, du selbst zu sein, wirst du dich in diesem Video ziemlich wiederfinden.Termin buchen.

Seven Ways to Know You're in the Will of God • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Seven Ways to Know You're in the Will of God (And How You Know When You're Not) Let me tell you something up front: The will of God is not a mystery! Religion paints this picture like God is hiding His will from you, and you've got to stumble around in the dark hoping you trip into it. No! God's will is clear, God's will is knowable, and God's will brings you into blessing and kingdom advancement. If you're not in the will of God, you're wasting time, spinning your wheels, and giving the devil a foothold in your life. But when you're in His will, you don't just survive—you multiply, you advance, and you shake the nations for Christ. 1. Peace in Your Spirit Scripture: “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.” — Colossians 3:15 (NKJV) 2. Confirmation by the Word of God Scripture: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 3. Fruitfulness and Multiplication Scripture: “You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?” — Matthew 7:16 (NKJV) 4. Open Doors by God's Hand Scripture: “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.” — Revelation 3:8 (NKJV) 5. The Witness of the Holy Spirit Scripture: “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” — Romans 8:16 (NKJV) 6. Provision in the Assignment Scripture: “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 7. Advancing the Kingdom of God Scripture: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” — Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) How You Know You're NOT in the Will of God Let me hit this quickly and clearly. The Bible shows us markers of being outside His will: 1. Confusion and unrest. “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33 (NKJV) 2. Compromise against Scripture. “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you… let him be accursed.” — Galatians 1:8 (NKJV) 3. Lack of fruit. “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered.” — John 15:6 (NKJV) 4. Constant striving with no breakthrough. “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) 5. Ignoring conviction. “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” — Ephesians 4:30 (NKJV) 6. Living in lack. “You have sown much, and bring in little… he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” — Haggai 1:6 (NKJV) 7. Self-glory instead of God's glory. “I am the Lord, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another.” — Isaiah 42:8 (NKJV) Conclusion Friend, the will of God is not something you have to stumble into—it's something you step into by faith and obedience. When you're in His will, peace rules your heart, doors open, fruit multiplies, provision flows, and the Kingdom advances. When you're out of it, confusion reigns, doors slam shut, provision dries up, and your life feels like pushing a boulder uphill. Make up your mind tonight: I will live in the center of God's will. I will not be distracted. I will not compromise. I will not settle. Because when you're in His will—you're unstoppable.

We continue our Christmas Comfort series, focusing on the promise of Christ as our Everlasting Father from Isaiah 9:1–7. In a season that can feel busy or heavy, we’re reminded of the steady, unfailing care of the One who draws near, holds us fast, and never lets us go. Discussion Questions: Read Isaiah 9:6 slowly together. Which word or phrase in the title “Everlasting Father” stands out to you most right now, and why do you think that caught your attention? Isaiah is promising a leader who embodies the heart of a faithful, enduring father in a world marked by instability and failed leadership. Where do you see people today (or even yourself) longing for that kind of steady presence and care? Verse 7 says this Father-like King rules with justice and righteousness and that His reign will never end. How does that contrast with the ways authority, leadership, or power have been used in your own life experiences? Without overthinking it, can you name a moment in your life when you experienced God’s care or faithfulness in a way that felt fatherly—protective, patient, steady, or present? What was going on in that season? For those of us who carry either wounds or gratitude connected to our earthly fathers, how does Isaiah’s picture of an Everlasting Father invite us to see God differently- or trust Him more deeply - right now?

In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit dem Geldökonomen Prof. Dr. Stefan Kooths vom Kiel Institut für Weltwirtschaft über die Grundlagen unseres Geldsystems, die Rolle von Zentralbanken und Staaten sowie die strukturellen Anreize hinter Inflation. Wir diskutieren, warum Geldschöpfung ein enormes Privileg ist, wen Inflation tatsächlich trifft und weshalb stabile Währungen für eine funktionierende Marktwirtschaft entscheidend sind. Außerdem geht es um Währungswettbewerb, die Idee von Hayek, die Rolle der EZB und darum, welche Bedeutung Bitcoin als staatsfreies Geld in diesem Kontext haben kann.

Christmas is a time for praise and yet this season is not always easy to celebrate, whether that be due to financial difficulty or personal struggle. However, praise and worship is not only meant for celebration, but for every moment of our life whether we are content or struggling. On episode #460 of “Let's Talk Money with Dave and Reb”, the co-hosts invite Debbie Gallagher, a woman dedicated to loving God, to share how praise can both prepare and sustain us through challenging times in life. She encourages listeners to praise and worship with expectancy that God will be moving in their life.

When the wise men worshiped Jesus, their obedience unlocked provision for God's plan. In this message, Pastor Corey Erman teaches how true worship positions believers to become channels of divine provision and purpose. “And when they had come into the house… they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” - Matthew 2:11To support this ministry and help us reach the nations with revival visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RiverWPB.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or text GIVE and any amount to (855) 968-3708.

The UFC arrives in AEC. And we're live from the AEC Octagon.In the very first episode of our brand-new Bricks & Bytes Debates series, we are trading PR statements for sparring gloves. We're putting two industry heavyweights head-to-head to battle out one of the hottest topics in construction: Has AI actually solved estimating?In this no-holds-barred contester series, our contenders took the gloves off to represent the extreme Bull and Bear cases for Artificial Intelligence:• In the Red Corner: Mike "Mighty" Powers (Co-Founder, BuildVision), arguing that LLMs have solved the extraction problem and the industry needs to embrace the "Waymo" era of automation.• In the Blue Corner: Luigi "The Stinger" La Corte (Co-Founder, Provision), arguing that estimating is more than just counting symbols - and that without 100% accuracy, AI is still just a student driver.Moderated by the referee of reason, Patric "Praying For Exits" Hellermann, this debate moves through three grueling rounds: - Round 1: The Tech. Can LLMs actually count and measure complex drawings, or are they just guessing? - Round 2: The Accuracy Gap. Is 80% accuracy "good enough" to change the industry, or is "trust but verify" just a nice way of saying "do it yourself"? - Round 3: The Liability. In a world of design-bid-build, who takes the fall when the AI misses a scope gap? Tune in to uncover:• The "Waymo" Strategy: Why waiting for perfect AI is a mistake, and how to leverage the "self-driving" mindset to reduce takeoff times by 90% today.• The Hidden Liability Loophole: Why architects and engineers could solve the estimating crisis instantly by sharing models—and the legal reason they never will.• Symbols vs. Language: Learn the fundamental technical limitation preventing LLMs from reading 2D drawings like a human, and when we can expect "Visual Language Models" to catch up.• The Subcontractor's Dilemma: Why "Design Intent" matters more than counting linear feet, and why subs might actually be wasting time on granular takeoffs.• A "Bribe" for Better Data: One listener's hilarious (but practical) suggestion for how to finally get the Revit model from the design team.Who will deliver the knockout punch? Tune in to decide for yourself.Chapters 00:00 Intro01:48 Introduction to Bricks and Bytes Debates 04:07 Opening Statements and Context Setting 06:51 Technical Feasibility of AI in Estimating 09:57 Practical Applications and Limitations of AI 12:59 Customer Expectations and Accuracy in AI Solutions 15:57 The Role of Human Oversight in AI Estimation 18:43 Future of AI in Construction Estimation 38:23 Navigating the Self-Driving Debate 41:19 The Evolution of AI in Estimating 43:32 Trust and Liability in Construction 46:13 The Role of Liability in AI Adoption 49:22 The Future of Estimators in AI 53:34 Rebuttals and Admissions: A Critical Discussion 59:39 The Current State of AI in Estimating

Es war mal wieder so weit: Ich habe euch gefragt, welche 12 Bücher, Hörbücher oder eBooks ich 2026 lesen und somit ENDLICH vom SuB erlösen soll - 15 von euch haben abgestimmt und mir damit die beliebtesten Titel ans Herz gelegt. In dieser Episode stelle ich die 12 Titel vor, die bei der „12 für 2026“-Abstimmung die meisten Stimmen auf sich vereint haben und somit ausgewählt wurden. Es sind 3 Bücher, 5 Hörbücher und 4 eBooks. Nämlich: „Verwesung“ aus der „David Hunter“-Reihe von Simon Beckett „P.S. Ich liebe dich“ von Cecilia Ahern „The Fourth Monkey“ aus der „4MK Thriller“-Reihe von J.D. Barker „Wo die Spuren aufhören“ aus der „Inspector Gamache“-Reihe von Louise Penny „Der Tag bricht an“ aus der „Die Tribute von Panem“-Reihe von Suzanne Collins „Sturmtochter“ aus der „Dark Swan“-Reihe von Richelle Mead „Jurassic Park“ aus der gleichnamigen Reihe von Michael Crichton „Der Erlöser“ aus der „Harry Hole“-Reihe von Jo Nesbo „Der Übergang“ von Justin Cronin „Auf dich war ich nicht vorbereitet“ von Anna Bell „V is for Virgin“ aus der gleichnamigen Reihe von Kelly Oram „Mit Rosen bedacht“ von Jennifer Benkau Außerdem bin ich 2025 mit wehenden Fahnen gescheitert, was mein Vorhaben der SuB-Senioren anging. Von sieben Titeln (wegen einem Titel, den ich schon bei meinen SuB-Senioren 2024 nicht geschafft hatte) habe ich einen gelesen und bin somit wieder bei sechs SuB-Senioren angelangt. Daher habe ich mir hier ambitioniert vorgenommen, 2026 zwölf Titel zu lesen, die bereits am längsten auf meinem haptischen Stapel ungelesener Bücher auf mich warten. Das sind also meine SuB-Senioren für 2026: „Die Gilde der Schatten“ von Nicole Gozdek (02/2022) „Dark and Shallow Lies: Von seichten Lügen und dunklen Geheimnissen“ von Ginny Myers Sain (03/2022) „Erbin der Dunkelheit“ aus der „Schattenthron“-Reihe von Beril Kehribar (03/2022) „Ein gefährliches Vermächtnis“ aus der „Knights“-Reihe von Lena Kiefer (04/2022) „Sense of Danger“ aus der „Section 47“-Reihe von Jennifer Estep (05/2022) „Falling In Love Was Not The Plan“ von Michelle Quach (06/2022) „Ein gnadenloses Schicksal“ aus der „Knights“-Reihe von Lena Kiefer (04/2022) „Shadow Land“ von Rainer Wekwerth (08/2022) „Blühender Verrat“ aus der „Spring Storm“-Reihe von Marie Graßhoff (05/2022) „Interspace One“ von Andreas Suchanek (09/2022) „Ahnenmond“ aus der „Emerald Witches“-Reihe von Laura Labas (09/2022) „Schattenbringerin“ aus der „Schattenthron“-Reihe von Beril Kehribar (09/2022) Ich werde 2026 alles geben, um beide Lesevorhaben gut zu erfüllen, und dies vor allem versuchen, konstanter übers Jahr zu verfolgen. Danke euch für eure Stimmen, ich bin schon ganz gespannt auf alle Titel! Ilana *Das Buch wurde mir als Rezensionsexemplar vom Verlag oder dem Autor/der Autorin zur Verfügung gestellt.

In a world marked by anxiety, unrest, and brokenness at every level—personal, familial, national, and global—peace feels increasingly elusive. Yet on the night before His crucifixion, Jesus speaks words of comfort and assurance to His troubled disciples, offering something the world cannot give: His peace.In John 14, Jesus addresses fearful hearts with a promise rooted not in circumstances, but in His own nature, His finished work, and the sovereign purposes of God. This message explores the contrast between the fragile, fleeting peace offered by the world and the lasting, supernatural peace found in Christ alone. As Jesus prepares to leave the upper room and walk toward the cross, He bequeaths a gift without which His followers could not endure—a peace secured through His sacrifice, sustained by trust, and guarded by God Himself.Key Verse: John 14:27-31Key Points: 1. The Promise of Peace 2. The Provision of Peace 3. A Prerequisite to Peace 4. The Pursuit of Peace 5. Prohibitors of PeaceThis sermon calls us to consider where true peace is found, how it is received, and what threatens to rob us of it, inviting believers to live under the ruling peace of God that surpasses all understanding.

I had the privilege of sitting down with Paul Elam for this enlightening conversation. Paul is a well known advocate for men's rights. He is the founder of ‘A Voice for Men' - the international conference on men's issues. He inspired the making of ‘The Red Pill' movie that aired in 2016. He's been a men's advisor and counselor for many decades now, and I appreciate how deeply he cares about supporting men.It was a pleasure to talk to him and I learned so much - I know you will too!We unpack the hidden assumptions about dating and marriage in the west under the ‘romantic model.' We also spend time getting to the bottom of why men are still so misunderstood in the west and what men need now more than anything.Listen in to learn about the origins of the romantic model, different priorities of men and women, what's missing from the mythopoetic movement, the change in male consciousness, the biggest killer of men, what a woman owes her marriage, being a ‘guardian of respect,' and so much more.Connect With Paul:Via X: https://x.com/RealPaulElamVia Substack: https://paulelam.substack.com/XY Crew: https://paulelam.com/xycrew/TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Intro & Preview: "Coddled Princesses" 00:32 — Welcome: Introducing Paul Elam01:53 — A Brief History of the Men's Movement 02:36 — From 1920s Protests to the Mythopoetic Movement 04:36 — The "Red Pill" Explosion & Its Flaws 05:49 — The Missing Piece: Accountability for Women 07:05 — The Critical Question: "What Do You Bring to the Table?" 08:52 — How We Got Here: Family Courts & The Romantic Model 10:24 — Hostile Dependency & Asserting Autonomy 11:24 — Contradictions: Feminism, Girlbosses, and Tradwives 13:07 — The Origins of Gynocentrism & Courtly Love 15:40 — Why the Romantic Model Failed After Divorce Stigma Lifted 18:12 — Trying to Satiate the Insatiable 20:22 — The "Simp" Dynamic: Groveling Breeds Resentment 21:58 — Why "Wild Man" Retreats Avoid the Real Issues 24:55 — Peeling Back Gynocentrism: Treating Each Other as Human 26:28 — Evolution vs. Socialization in Attraction 28:22 — The Paradox of Women's Unhappiness 30:19 — Disconnection from the Feminine Body 31:36 — The Necessity of Being Complete Before Relationships 33:30 — Understanding How Men Are Manipulated by Shame 35:49 — "Human Doings": Men's Value Tied to Provision 39:11 — Paul's Stance: Rejecting Legal Marriage 40:58 — Biblical Roles & The Myth of the 1950s Housewife 43:40 — Critique of the "She Has No Worries" Mindset 46:13 — Controversial Advice: Stop "Dating" Entirely 48:51 — The Transactional Nature of Modern Dating 50:00 — Debunking the Soulmate Myth 52:41 — Men, Silence, and the "Defective Women" Therapy Model 53:44 — Men Heal Through Action (The Michael Jordan Story) 56:06 — The Erosion of Male Spaces & The Bystander Effect 59:43 — Daniel Penny & The Risks of Male Protection 01:01:49 — Personal Safety: Agency vs. Expecting Protection 01:02:45 — Most Men's Issues Stem from Relationship Choices 01:04:18 — The Mirror Test: Taking Accountability for Abusive Partners 01:05:54 — Self-Esteem vs. Self-Respect 01:08:35 — Paul's Relationship Secret: Being the "Guardian of Respect" 01:10:52 — Teaching Women the Definition of Respect 01:13:23 — The Ultimate Power: Willingness to Walk Away 01:15:09 — Conclusion & Where to Find Paul Elam___________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!
