SALVATION OF THE SOUL AND THE JOURNEY TO FREEDOM  I'm continuing in the six part overview of the course salvation of the Soul and the Life Giving Spirit – this is number five. It is designed to be presented in interactive small groups and that is happening – It is not just a Bible study. However, I am doing the overview as sermon podcasts so that I can make my Scriptural position of the salvation of the Soul clear for the sake of accountability. We spoke last week about how Adam and Eve had felt forsaken and had misread the nature of God – not thinking or believing that they were loved and not able to trust him for their lives. They created helper parts in their souls – covering up - and the blame game - the woman You gave me – even God was blamed! The human soul was now on its journey of creating countless self-protective and defensive and self-rescue strategies that would become activated in every person to be born in the earth. Those first unhelpful helper parts were created in the Garden of Eden because of a feeling of perceived forsakenness - but they were not forsaken – God does not forsake us. I will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6. Hebrews 13:5).  Even Jesus had to briefly go through the feeling of forsakenness in his soul for our sakes on the cross but in his spirit, he knew he was not forsaken. He never departed from God, even while feeling forsaken but instead, he turned to scripture, quoting Psalm 22, demonstrating a path towards hope and victory through faith amidst pain. And every person ever born goes through feelings of forsakenness, whether real or perceived because it may or may not be intentional. Forsakenness sums up the human emotional pain felt in such experiences as feeling abandoned, deprived, overlooked, rejected, mocked, physically mistreated, unjustly judged or criticised, and many other negative experiences. It brings about a deep sense of separation, vulnerability, and lack of connection.  In childhood, we don't have the wisdom or insight to understand why hurtful things happen or are said to us so we come up with the best self-protective strategies we can to avoid that kind of pain in the future, and those things get locked into our souls as helper parts early on. The problem is, they don't grow or mature with us. We think life will improve as we get older, but those old strategies stay stuck at the age they were formed. That's why we're looking into the healing of the soul because many of us carry this deep sense of spiritual forsakenness from childhood onwards, even if no one meant us harm. Just the perception of it is enough. These coping strategies, though immature, helped us survive. They became part of who we are—how we show up in relationships and how we see ourselves. But often, we don't realize we're just replaying old patterns. They feel automatic, like they have a life of their own. So we don't engage with them as evil, because our spirit created them in a time of naivety, but we need them to stop driving our attitudes and behaviour, and remember, our human spirit knows them. So who can help us see what's really going on? We're not all psychologists—but God is and His Spirit knows our spirit, and He understands our wounds. That's where healing begins. We also spoke last week about David talking to his soul in the Psalms and talking about his inner bodily and spiritual parts and how they affected one another. He said in Psalm 32:3 that when he kept all his anxieties and guilt inside, his bones grew old, and his body dried up and he felt emotional stress.  I have seen it to be the case that when a person's determined helper part gets into reaction to something difficult, they also sense a bodily reaction that can be automatic and subconscious. It can be in the chest or the stomach or the throat or the head – or appear as exaggerated movements or overwhelming fatigue. That illustrates that just as our spirit knows what we have experienced in our soul, our body also holds this unique information as a sensation of some kind. A psychotherapist called Bessel Van Der Kolk has written a good book on this called ‘The Body keeps the Score'. He describes how our brain and neuronal system were created to be wired in this way to be physically ‘triggered' by an inner distress. Each oe of us have our own individual triggers. I spoke to a fellow whom we will call Reg two or three years ago regarding his stress and anxiety after suffering a physical and emotional collapse at work where he had a panic attack and thought he was having a heart attack. (This is a blend of two people's experiences with names and other details changed for anonymity) He was put into rehab for weeks and even though he could walk and exercise under supervision he had difficulty recovering mentally and emotionally - or spiritually, even though he was a strong Christian. I knew Reg and respected him as a very successful management consultant who had worked at instructing in management systems and health and safety and managed teams to reconstruct damaged areas after natural disasters. He said his nature seemed to have changed. He had become irritable at people and resented having to stay in rehab being told what to do next – when to shower, when to eat, what to eat, how far to walk. I said – That's not like you at all – not the Reg I know.  He said – ‘Oh but it is, that difficult person is there'. He told me how he felt blocked spiritually and was fearful of having another panic attack and was often very confused.  I asked Reg if he felt physical stress anywhere in his body when the mental and emotional distress hit him. I'd suspected it might have been in the chest, but he said no it was in the throat where he would choke up and lose his voice. So I asked him how long he had been experiencing that choked up feeling. He said a long time. He sat in silence for a while and then he said ‘When I was ten years old at school I was told by the gym master ‘You will never be anything like your big brother – you're disorganised and can't be trusted with peoples safety. It was because I didn't set the gym up properly that week. My older brother was a good gymnast and always set the gym up to perfection. The gym master said no more gym for you this term.  Reg felt humiliated and extremely hurt and misjudged. He said that when he tried to explain that it was because he had had to set up on his own because the other boy who should have been helping him hadn't turned up. But his throat choked up and he couldn't talk. He promised himself nothing like that would ever happen to him again and he would prove to the gym master and himself and everybody else that he was as good as his brother. He decided to take command of his future and learned to be prepared for any unforeseen event and be able to fix or manage any problem.  It was then I realised that Reg had created a controlling helper part in his soul at that point in his life. Reg found that not being in control of what he could and could not do at the rehab centre had brough all this back. His fear of failure had created a controlling manager helper that drove his life – his very successful life, but it robbed him of the peace of God when under pressure to have to solve every problem and foresee every disaster.  His spirit and his body had just shown him what his soul was up to, just as David spoke to his soul and asked God what was happening in his soul. David only had the Law to help him reorder his soul (Psalm 19), but Reg had the Holy Spirit, and with prayer I was able to encourage him to speak to his soul. Reg spoke to the little ten year Reggie who in his immaturity had devised the best strategy at the time of coping with the feeling of inadequacy and of being unjustly judged. Reg who had created that helper part at ten years of age then asked that unhelpful helper part to step aside after all that time and to allow the Holy Spirit, the true Helper to show Reg how to let Jesus take his burden of fear and panic of not being in control. Reg gave himself to that and God began to speak to him in many different ways and his life changed. His gift of wisdom and management remained but now it was in God's hands and not his. That was not just repentance from sin – hamartia, it was repentance to life as in Acts 11:18 where the Apostles realised that God had not only granted the Gentiles repentance from sin but had granted them g ‘repentance to life (metanoia zoe). I want to give you some examples of Helper Parts: See which ones you recognise! * Inner critics: constantly reminding of inadequacies and the need to work harder. * Caretakers: shielding from harm. * Controlling managers: trying to organise tasks to avoid failure. * Performance helpers: impressing oneself and others. * Pushy helpers: driving us to work harder  * Blame game helpers: getting out of trouble. * Rescuers/escapers: avoiding the harsh reality of overwhelming burdens. These are more tenacious and addictive than other helper parts. * These are viewed as common categories, but the specifics of each person's helper parts are unique because each individual has a unique spirit, with unique talents, gifts and characteristics and circumstances. The ultimate goal is for individuals to become ‘the real person' that God created not just in his image, but now being transformed after his likeness, and able to embody that likeness in his world. And this aligns with God's desire for us to live in agreement and relational wholeness.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   God communicates with us and heals us as individuals in highly personalised ways, acknowledging that each human spirit is uniquely and individually created. While there's "one truth" about who we are according to his word, that word will be transmitted to us by the Father and by Jesus and by the Holy Spirit in their own particular way of communicating their word to us.  God the "Father will demonstrate it outwardly" through circumstances, Jesus will "speak the word of life, the logos" (the designed destiny), and the Holy Spirit will communicate that truth in a language and framework suited to each person's personality and their God given unique gifts and abilities and particular temperament. I encourage people to ask God to speak to them about identifying their unhelpful helper. I do not do a lot of follow up because when a person takes the responsibility to participate in the healing of the soul through the Spirit they are committed to hearing God speak into their spirit to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus as the saviour of their soul, in their personal and unique situation as a child of God. They then receive faith and grace to become yoked to Jesus and allow him to take that burden in the situation. Then group discussions bring clarity and understanding and encouragement through personal testimonies of faith in a safe and caring environment. (James 5:16 saysacknowledge your faults (helper parts) to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed). To be continued. Paul OSullivan – pauloss@icloud.com

Welcome to the Art of Value Whispering podcast   Today, I'm diving into something I believe lies at the very heart of sustainable business growth—but that so often gets overlooked or oversimplified: your message. And more specifically, how the right message can quietly do the heavy lifting for you—helping you get noticed, attract aligned clients, and grow your business without the constant push, hustle, or getting stuck over-explaining yourself. Last week, I ran a poll on LinkedIn asking what people find hardest about attracting clients. The top answers? Getting noticed and explaining what I do. I hear this a lot—and I've been there myself. So today on the podcast, I'm sharing how to stop feeling stuck, and start shaping a message that reflects your true value—so that every time someone experiences you, they feel something meaningful. Join me in this episode to discover how to craft a message that doesn't just get attention, but builds trust, connection, and sustainable momentum in your business. ‍ ‍ “You don't have to change who you are to grow - you just need a message that reflects your true value and resonates with your dream clients.” - Melitta Campbell In this Week's Episode... ‍ You will discover: ‍‍ Why getting noticed isn't your real goal—and what to aim for instead How to identify your value sweet spot and use it to attract your dream clients The reason messaging struggles often stem from having too much expertise, not too little A simple mindset shift that helps you show up with more confidence, consistency, and ease ‍ What to expect in the upcoming Magnetic Messages Challenge ‍‍ ‍         

What do you do after a great message… and then silence? Most leaders lose momentum not because they don't know who to call, but because they don't know how to follow up when they don't get a response. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down my 7x7 follow-up framework, seven meaningful touches over seven weeks, and how to build a system that helps you stay consistent without ever feeling pushy. If you want to win at recruiting, you've got to stop chasing and start building trust over time. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most recruiting efforts stall out after the first unanswered message. [01:00] Prospect Every Week – Block protected time to research and build your short list of 10–20 candidates. [02:00] Focus on Depth, Not Volume – Personalization wins. Transactional messages don't. [03:00] The 7x7 Framework – One value-based touch per week for seven weeks: Week 1: Affirmation message Week 2: No-pressure email introduction Week 3: 60-second video with perspective Week 4: Share a valuable resource Week 5: Silent call (register as a missed call) Week 6: Friendly text follow-up Week 7: Creative personal touch (e.g. voice memo, handwritten note, small gift) [06:00] Move to Nurture Mode – After week 7, slow the cadence but stay on the radar with light, regular touches. [07:00] Use a Tracking System – Don't manage follow-up in your head. Use a CRM, spreadsheet, or board to keep cadence consistent. [08:00] Train the Right Mindset – Recruiting isn't a sales cycle. It's a trust cycle, and trust takes time. Key Takeaways Follow-Up Is Where You Win – Great recruiting isn't about who you reach out to first. It's about how you show up after silence. Use a 7x7 Cadence – Seven weeks, seven touches, each adding value, not pressure. Be the Consistent One – When their world shifts, they'll remember who stayed in front of them without selling. Build the System – Set it and stay with it. A tracker turns good intention into real execution. Lead Your Team Into This – Coach your recruiters to play the long game, not the instant results game. The leaders who win at recruiting aren't sending more messages. They're sending better messages, on purpose, over time, with value.

“I just want what’s best for them.”That’s what every loving parent says. But sometimes, in our desperation to protect our kids from failure—or secure their success—we push too hard, and it backfires.

Drawing on decades of research and her landmark book The Psychology of Parental Control, Wendy shares practical, compassionate strategies that help parents avoid power struggles and build confident, capable kids.

    If you've been told never to sell in your welcome email, think again. In the latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I sat down with email marketing expert Kylie Kelly, who shares a powerful, unconventional strategy: selling in your very first email. And guess what? It works. If you're trying to grow your email list, convert subscribers into customers, and make sales without waiting weeks or months, this post is for you. Show Notes: MiloTree Kylie Kelly AI Ebook Prompt Generator Free Canva ebook template AI Freebie Prompt Generator Email Sales Templates Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: YouTube iTunes Spotify Why Most Creators Get Email Wrong A common myth in email marketing is that you need to “warm up” your audience before making any offer. Kylie calls this out. Why wait, she asks, when your new subscriber is most engaged right now—immediately after signing up for your freebie? This is the moment they're most open to hearing from you. They've just said, “Yes, I trust you.” So why not show them exactly how you can help? Here's What to Do Instead Kylie breaks it down simply: ✅ Send a single, value-packed welcome email Instead of a 5-part welcome sequence, Kylie delivers the freebie and introduces herself and sells—all in the same email. ✅ Include your offer in the PS She doesn't hit people over the head with it. She simply adds a quick, “P.S. I also have this membership—check it out if you're ready to go deeper.” That's it. And it converts. ✅ Follow up with a short nurture sequence After that first email, she sends a few value-packed emails that build trust and explain the benefits of her offer. This works because it's honest, direct, and respects the reader's time. Want to Build Your Email List Fast—Without Social Media? You don't need a huge following or a complicated funnel to grow your list.

The people who get up the minute the plane lands and race to the front in a bid to get off the flight first... they've been dubbed ‘aisle lice'.It seems that airlines are cracking down on bad behaviour on board, and now Turkey's Civil Aviation Authority have announced they will be fining impatient passengers skipping the queue and standing up before the airplane officially comes to a stop at the gate.Joining Seán to tell more is Consumer Journalist Siobhan Maguire.

Send us a textIn this insightful episode of "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott explore the delicate balance of being both kind and demanding in the sales process. We delve into effective techniques that allow you to be respectful and customer-centric while still driving towards a timely close. We break down five key strategies to achieve this artful balance:Friendly Framing: We discuss how to set the stage for a demanding element by first establishing a positive and friendly rapport. By framing the conversation with warmth and genuine connection, you make the prospect more receptive to urgency and deadlines. This involves building trust and showing you have their best interests at heart before introducing any time sensitivity.Permission to Close: We explore the power of seeking the prospect's explicit or implicit permission to move towards a decision. This collaborative approach makes the closing process feel less pushy and more like a natural progression. By asking questions that gauge their readiness and inviting them to the next step, you maintain control while respecting their autonomy.Gentle Deadline: We delve into the art of implementing deadlines without being aggressive. This involves clearly communicating the reasons behind any time sensitivity (e.g., limited availability, promotional offers) in a helpful and informative way, rather than creating undue pressure. The emphasis is on providing a legitimate reason for the timeline.You Deserve This Close: We discuss how to frame the close as being in the prospect's best interest, emphasizing the value and positive outcomes they will achieve by making a timely decision. This technique focuses on their needs and desires, making the close feel like a natural and beneficial step they deserve to take.The Friendly Walkaway: We explore the subtle power of a "friendly walkaway" – a technique where you politely indicate that you understand if the timing isn't right, but also subtly highlight the potential loss of opportunity by delaying. This approach respects their decision while gently underscoring the urgency without being forceful.This episode provides practical techniques for sales professionals to be both effective and ethical, ensuring they drive towards a close while maintaining positive customer relationships and respecting the prospect's journey.Scott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Position yourself as a partner, not a decision-maker, during negotiations. Frame your CFO or leadership as the final approver to deflect pressure and control the conversation Use a sliding scale for discounts based on timeline. Offer steeper discounts for faster signatures to create urgency without arbitrary end-of-month pressure Steer discovery and demos toward problems that matter. Don't get stuck solving small issues—recommend workflows tied to real business impact and executive priorities Drive deal velocity without discounting by pre-scheduling the implementation call.

On this episode of Nemo Radio, I'm sharing powerful sales psychology secrets that completely transformed my approach to handling objections - and help me scale to 7 figures in revenue as a result.After logging countless hours in the sales chair over the past decade, I've discovered that most objections aren't really about the surface-level reasons people give you.When a prospect says "I'll hire you once I make more money" or "I need to talk to my spouse first," there's almost always something deeper going on.During this episode, I'll reveal the specific psychological techniques I use to get past these initial "no" responses - without ever coming across as pushy or aggressive.I'll also share a (painful!) personal story about how I lost $45,000 USD on Facebook ads and what this taught me about handling objections around risk and guarantees.What You'll Discover:
