Sermon Summary: God's Unwavering Promises Sermon Title: Relationships - Genesis 30 Speaker: Andy Summary: Andy's sermon delves into the intricate tapestry of Genesis 30, a chapter filled with familial drama, jealousy, and divine intervention. He draws parallels between the soap opera-like events depicted in the chapter and the complexities of modern life, highlighting how God's plans often unfold amidst chaos and human imperfection. The sermon begins by summarizing the key events of the chapter: Rachel's jealousy of Leah, the birth of Jacob's children through his wives and their maidservants, and Jacob's struggle with Laban. Andy emphasizes the unconventional nature of these events, challenging our preconceived notions of a neat and orderly God. He then focuses on Rachel's character, highlighting her jealousy, blame-shifting, and longing for children. Despite her struggles, Andy points out that God remembers Rachel and fulfills His promise by granting her a son, Joseph. This serves as a reminder that God's promises are unwavering, even in the face of human failings and disappointments. Andy connects Rachel's experience to the challenges faced by individuals today, emphasizing the importance of maintaining faith in God's promises even when life seems unfair or chaotic. He encourages listeners to trust in God's timing and to seek His guidance amidst life's complexities. The sermon concludes with a call to action, urging listeners to embrace God's forgiveness and to find freedom from self-criticism. Andy emphasizes that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross has removed the burden of condemnation, allowing us to live a life free from reproach and self-doubt. Bible References: Genesis 30:1-43 Key Themes: God's unwavering promises The power of faith amidst challenges The importance of forgiveness and self-acceptance The transformative power of Jesus' sacrifice Additional Notes: The sermon is delivered in a conversational and relatable style, making it accessible to a wide audience. Andy uses personal anecdotes and relatable examples to illustrate the concepts discussed in the sermon. The sermon emphasizes the importance of trusting in God's timing and His plan for our lives. Transcript Yeah, I brought the gifts and offerings from the church at 146 this morning Good morning, everybody Great to see you. So let's open God's Word together and continue The soap opera that is Genesis Okay, as we heard Nick, I think used the analogy last week and compared chapter 29 to Coronation Street, I think as we get into chapter 30 that coronation Street pales into significance completely and It's I'm not going to read it all because we're beer from the rest of the morning But but it's it's a fascinating chapter All right, and a lot of these chapters are actually it's good It challenges our sort of preconceptions and I don't know for you Maybe as you look at this afterwards as you hear and listen to this now some of this, you know We get a conception that God likes things to be nice and ordered but actually it's we like nice things to be nice and ordered and we think Christianity should be this and this and this and This and God will work when this is sorted out and as we read these chapters We actually find the truth to be a long way from that It's fascinating. So last week we heard about Leah Who was Jacob's? Became Jacob's wife by deceit from Leah's dad and And we heard about having four children by Jacob and that even though Rachel Leah's sister was the one that Jacob wanted to marry That actually he was deceived into Marrying Leah and had four children by her and chapter 30 Opens with Rachel being jealous of her sister And actually not only jealous of her sister But then starting to blame everybody else for what's going on and pointing the finger at Jacob and saying well You know, this is your fault and Jacob gets angry with Rachel And so Rachel tells Jacob but to go and sleep with her maidservant This is soap opera and beyond go and sleep with her maidservant Who is called Bilhar and so he does that and then Bill hug his birth to Dan and Neftali these two boys And then guess what on seeing that Leah Rachel's sister says aha Jacob go and sleep with my maidservant and have children Yeah, so that happens Leah tells Jacob to sleep with her maidservant a lady called Zilpah and Gad and Asher are born All right, and then we get into the first Me even more weird bit Okay, so if you remember last week the names of Leah's sons The oldest son was a chap called Reuben All right And then we read in this chapter chapter 30 that Rachel goes to Reuben and say give me some of your mandrakes That's a plant right? I don't know the ins and outs of that But she asked him she asked Leah's eldest son for mandrakes and Leah hears this and intervenes and says no So Rachel says, oh, okay. I'll let you sleep with Jacob if you let me have Reuben's mandrakes It's all in here, right? It's all in here, okay And so Leah says yeah, okay, cuz Leah hadn't been able to have children after she'd had before she stopped having children So Jacob sleeps with Leah Again and Izzikar and Zebulun two sons are born and then Dinah one daughter is born And then we get into the middle of the chapter and we read that God Remembers Rachel and we'll get into what that means in a little bit God remembers Rachel and Rachel conceives and she gives birth to Joseph And that gives a bit of light at the end of the tunnel for us because we know that there's some stuff coming in later Chapters that we can really preach about without getting confused Right and you we can all sing the songs and all that stuff. You know, that's coming. So that's good news Right, but so then we get to the end of that bit and then the second half of the chapter This is weird bit number two. Jacob wants to go back home So if you remember he had studied work seven years for Laban who is the dad of Rachel and Leah He worked seven years so that he could marry Rachel and Laban tricks him and makes him marry Leah and it says you need to work another seven years In order to have Rachel as your wife as well. So so So he's worked 14 years for laban and he goes to laban says I want to go home Yeah, I want to go home with my wives and family but laban says well hang on a minute while you've been working for me These 14 years I've got really wealthy and things have gone really well for me I'd like you to stay Jacob name your wages and you can stay and work for me So Jacob has a think right and he says okay I'll name my wages and I'll stay working for him My wages are I want every speckled and spotted sheep and goat and every dark lamb that you have Okay, you were this still. Okay, so so you'd be glad I've summarized it rather than reading it. So labor says yeah Okay, you're on and then the very same day Laban runs around and gets every spotted sheep speckled lamb speckled goat and dark lamb and scurries them away from Jacob So he can't find them Okay, you can bear with this bow with this it gets better So then Jacob he goes around the trees that are poplar almond and plane trees Get some branches and strips the bark off them and then he puts those branches in the water troughs Where the sheep come to drink and when his sheep come to drink from those water troughs and they mate Guess what? They give birth to young that are streaked and speckled and spotted How about you can't wait to hear what we're gonna talk about this Right and we read at the end of that chapter Jacob becomes exceedingly wealthy Okay I'm gonna I just thank God that when you want to prepare sometimes I feel okay There's a few few key verses in here that I really want to bring out and that's what we're going to be doing this morning But with that summary you think why is going on? What is happening here because of all this crazy stuff happening, you know, this is this is the nation of Israel This is the people of God. This is God's chosen people his holy nation and there's like there's four months to all of them And they're conceived in sort of chaos but I tell you that's why God works because when all that mess is going on all that complexity of human interaction and Stuff that a lot screwed up stuff that doesn't make sense and people making mistakes We're gonna see a little bit more in a minute God's plans and God's purposes Continue to move forward And I tell you that is such good news because that says when there's so much mess in my life God's plans and purposes for me continue to move forward when there's so much mess in the church God's plans and purposes for the church continue to move forward when there's so much mess in this nation In this continent in this world today God's plans and purposes are continuing to move forward Because it's not all nice and neat and boxed up, you know And actually we think about it the story we've had so far is you know Remember God spoke to Abraham about his promises, you know and our Abraham's gonna have children as numerous as the sand on the seashore and there's the Stars in the sky and Abraham tries to make it happen himself and give Ishmael arrives and Sarah laughs at God and says I can't Have children and lo and behold. Guess what? She does have the one and then Isaac. He doesn't seem to want to get married So, how is he going to carry on the promise? But eventually he marries Rebekah and then we have the stories of Esau and Jacob and the deceit With their mum Rebekah in order that Jacob gets the blessing and without all of that and now that same sort of mess He's just carrying on Yeah, and we shouldn't be surprised that we're living in a place of mess But what we should be doing is in that place of mess saying God, what are you doing? What are you saying I want to tune into what you are doing and what's happening Last week. We looked at Leah and we saw how God brought her to a place of praise and freedom From what everybody else thought about her, you know We heard how she won that was unattractive that she was the the cast off that her dad Skeamed to give her away to her husband and the challenge of that for her obviously but God brought her through that to a place of freedom from what people thought and a place of praise and worship To God this week. We're going to home in on her sister Rachel And and just talk a little bit about that in the next few minutes You see Rachel Rachel was the attractive one as we heard last week and when you read about line chapter 29 Rachel was the one that Jacob wanted to marry The one he was prepared to wait seven years Before he could have her as his wife and then agreeing to work another seven years Afterwards, you know, that was the value of that man placed on that woman and there's a sermon or two in there about values Between men and women which we're not going to get into but you can get the picture How highly he respected her and thought of her and now at the start of chapter 30 we read this in verse 1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children. She became jealous of her sister. That's Leah Who by this time had four children? So she said to Jacob give me children or I'll die Jacob became angry with her and said am I in the place of God who has kept you from having children? So Rachel is jealous at the outset of this, you know Leah is having all the children to Jacob and she hasn't had any and you kind of start think How must that have felt? to her how much she you've handled that how painful and Difficult that must been must have been not only just naturally But we've gone from the promise of God to Abraham like like I said the promise of God came to Abraham Your children are going to be that numerous and he has one son Right. His children are going to be as numerous as the sand on the seashore and the stars in the sky And he just has one son and it's like the promise of God is hanging by a thread One son and then Isaac marries Rebecca and yeah, they have two sons, but the promise and blessing of God is to Jacob only One son so for two generations this massive promise of God is like he's hanging by a thread Just one son Just one son and now we get to Jacob and suddenly it's like the children of the promise are popping up everywhere You know Leah's had four by this time already and they're in the promise and the blessing of God, but there's Rachel And she must be thinking what's going on? How could this have happened? She is not involved She is the one missing out And I think we probably all know a little bit about how that feels I remember when I was a Young man of 18 so probably like a lot of us. I went through school we had a group of mates who hung out together and when I got to I did a levels with these guys and when the results came out all the all of them got the grades to go off to college except for me and And I remember at the time thinking Well thinking quite a few things. I remember I remember them on the day The results came out then trying to console me that doesn't work. Does it? You know, they've got the grades They're off into it Is that at that time people always went off to new towns and cities and whatever and they were off And they were excited and they tried to console me But it doesn't work does it like that when when you're the one feeling left out of all these other people If all these other people try and console it, it doesn't really work I remember the school throwing a book of courses at me and say have a look at that and that was the sum of their wisdom And I remember the walk home to my parents house and feeling this sense of failed Expectations, you know, it's not a statement about them It's just my insecurity in the way that I processed it at the time But the biggest thing I think I remember more than anything else was that everybody else they had success Everybody else was getting on everybody else was now leaving the hometown where we'd grown up and was off to something new and exciting And I was missing out And you know that feeling when everyone around you is in on something but you're not You're missing out, you know for those of us Christians of a certain age and era would remember when you know John Wimber came in the 1980s when the Toronto blessing so-called happened in the 90s and so many Conversations around then when God was doing stuff in people's lives if you weren't feeling it you felt you were missing out And it just exposed our insecurities Actually that we feel why isn't that happening to me? God mustn't love me as much as he loves them and all that sort of tosh, right because it's just bringing out our insecurities That's all it's doing and so here for Rachel wishes. She's missing out That's what it's like for her. I Thought this was gonna happen God But it hasn't Not only not only is what I thought was going to happen to me not happening it's happening to them Leah is the one getting blessed in the story, but I thought it was me. I thought Jacob loved me I thought the blessing of God was going to come to me I thought I was gonna have children but it's not happening and not only is it not happening to me It is happening to that person over there It's not fair God Why is it like this God? in life In the church in our own pursuit of Jesus Is this resonating a bit? That's good Certainly does with me and we do what Rachel does in the story we look for things and we look for people to blame and point the finger at Jacob this is your fault. She says, you know I'm when we feel like that and that jealousy and anger is in us We might not use those words but often what it boils down to we look to point the finger away from us And blame somebody or something else. We thought this was what God had promised surely This was the will of God. I thought the church was going to do this I thought revival was going to happen in the 1980s or whatever and it didn't We thought this is what God had promised and instead of being in a place of a place of praise like her sister Leah We get into a place of anger and Jealousy sure we might hide it from time, but we might suppress it. We might get really good at putting the mask on So it doesn't so but from time to time guess what it bursts out We can't help it because it is in there because of the frustration of What of our understanding because of the disappointment that this has happened to them and it hasn't happened to us Because the anger is so deep-seated and so eats away in our quiet moments How can God do that with them? Leah isn't even the one that Jacob wanted to marry It's so unfair How come this has happened in my life? I Thought God was leading me on But now I haven't got a clue what's happening And you know for Rachel it's it's childlessness or that word we often read about in Scripture It's that sense of feeling barren and maybe for you this morning But this is resonating a little bit and and you're feeling a sense of barrenness You know that sense of desert of where is God? Why has this happened Lord? Or maybe it's just a sense of sickness or desperation or loneliness or isolation Is The killer question as I think about this is What is Rachel lost sight of at this point in the passage at this point in the story? she's lost sight of God's promises are true and He is faithful and loving to all he has made I walked in and we're singing Is Waymaker Promise keeper miracle worker probably the wrong order, but you know what I mean, right? We sing those songs, right? We sing those words and because it's a great tune We might even sing it with gusto But the reality is have we got a hold of that in our lives because scripture teaches us that not Darlings these or Bethel or whoever our favorite worship guy is You know because scripture teaches that what God is have we got a hold of that and a learning to apply that in the nitty-gritty Earthy really annoying things that happen in our day-to-day lives And not just reserve it for a moment on a Sunday morning because that's what this is about That's what Jesus wants to do with us He wants us to get a grip of his word and apply it into our hearts and work hard to make it change our lives And our lifestyle because he's got freedom for us. Oh God that's what he wants to do And Yet, I guess just like Rachel There's a great pressure to try and fix it ourselves because we want it now We don't want to wait for anything You know the pressure in the world around us is if you've got to wait for anything move on to the next thing Don't wait, you know we used to preach ages ago must have been 1980s or 90s We talked about instant foods instant coffee instant tea is you know the pressure on smashed you remember smash? Hey We're all old. I know right and the need for everything instant You know now. It's just it's just got to be a few clicks away One click away one swipe or whatever and he's there in front of us and all so many things in life That will bring that pressure of instantness to us, but anything that is of value takes time Particularly when it comes to relationships Particularly when it comes to and I'm talking about relationships husband wise parents and children Friends in the church, but of course especially with Jesus, and it takes that investment It takes that build up of trust And so although Rachel tries to manufacture it herself and let Jacob sleep with her maidservant That doesn't really cut it for her sure she gets two kids But as we'll see in a minute that doesn't address the root issue of what's going on in our life And for you and me we can do that as we get frustrated thinking we're waiting for God. I'll give him a hand Right yeah, and I'll try and do something myself, but at the end of the day That doesn't cut the mustard it doesn't doesn't address. What is going on? So he stays like that for Rachel As I say and it's interesting just like her ancestors You know Abraham tries to make it himself and as Ishmael there's a bit of shenanigans going on with Rebecca and Esau and Jacob and now she tries to have a go and all along already We're only in chapter 30 of the Bible There's an awful lot more chapters to come yet, and everybody's trying to make you up and do it themselves Instead of learning this God who was promised This is a God who is going to act and do it in his time in his way Until We get to verse 22 Which I'm so glad is in here not just because of the rest of the chapter But because of what it teaches us today and what Rachel can teach us today, so we get to verse 22 And we read this then God remembered Rachel He listened to her and opened her womb She became Pregnant and gives but gave birth to a son and said God has taken away my disgrace and she named the son Joseph It's just a few things about this first of all so when he says God remembered Rachel, it's really important We don't think that actually yeah, God's really busy. He's sorting out Jacob Maybe he's even gone to what Esau's doing and he's seen some other people around the rest of the world and they go Rachel I forgot about Rachel quick was that RACHEL or RACH8EL I can never remember. It doesn't mean that okay when we read that God remembered Rachel It's not like he had a senior moment, but I would now I'm just forever telling me to write lists So that I remember, but then I've got to remember to look at the list so so but you know It's not like that God hasn't got a great long list and he's gone way past the Rachel item and he's down here now And he's got to go back. It's not like that. He doesn't forget in that sense, okay? But this is the third so we go back to scripture to try and figure out. What does that really mean then? Well, this is the third time already in the Bible that we read this phrase in chapter 8 and verse 1 of Genesis We read God remembered Noah But that time Noah was in the ark It was bobbing around on the waters and then we read God remembered Noah And he dries the waters out and the ark settles And then the next time is in chapter 19 of Genesis just before he's about to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah and we read and God remembered Abraham and rescued Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah in other words This is a phrase used to indicate that God is about to take action on behalf of that person for their good God is about to do it Indicates a turning point that what I've been the status quo before that what I've been what life was about before But what I've been the norm and what I got used to and expected God was suddenly going to do something and change all of that. So that was no longer the case So for Noah the ark was going to land and all the animals are going to come out It was a turning point for Abraham Lot his nephew was going to be rescued from those cities and now for Rachel we see there's a sudden change As she moves from being barren to being childless and anybody who's gone from having no children to having one child Will understand the massive turning point that is in life But there's much more to it than simply having children here in this passage for us You see God had not forgotten Rachel his promises and his plans and his purposes are not upset by our Disappointments by our screw-ups by our what the Bible calls sin sure we may think they are from our perspective But he does not forget his promises and plans and purposes remain true He is a Heavenly Father who loves his people. He had made a covenant with Abraham That's a big strong word for a prompt were you've way beyond the promise He made that to Abraham and he was going to fulfill it and now the promise of God was on Rachel and that was not going to change no matter what else happened or had happened to her The Promises of God over us are not affected by family rouse and arguments That's so good to know in it That is so good to know and they're not affected by how long that we have to wait And so what what was the effect of this? I? Just want to end bring this to an ending with this bit What was the if you guess she had a son she had Joseph of course? But there's this little phrase in the NIV it says that Though she said God has taken away my disgrace I just want to change that slightly in most other versions. He says God has taken away my reproach and actually when I looked it up the Sounds arrogant. I don't say the original Hebrew. I looked it up in a book I'll just write and actually the word the word is better translated reproach, so I looked up reproach in a dictionary And it said in the dictionary reproach means to criticize someone Especially for not being successful or not doing what is expected? You see if all the ladies had turned up in unit two yesterday at one o'clock And there was bare tables and there was eight lads sat on the chairs playing cards together Erica would be totally justified in reproaching me That will be fully done it means you know you tell you criticizing someone for not being successful or not Doing what is expected, but notice the what she says God has taken away my reproach So in other words Rachel is criticizing herself Especially for not being successful and not doing what is expected of her She is criticizing herself. She's thinking whatever she she's thinking. What is everybody else saying about me? What is everybody else thinking about me, and she's a result of that. She's criticizing herself and then suddenly God comes and acts and Takes that away But I just how common is that amongst us in fact the more I think about this the more I think we're all like this right we all get hang-ups and start thinking What does so-and-so think about me? What do they think about me? You know I wish I was like them But I'm not like them. I'm not as successful as them. We might not use that language But we criticize ourselves And so we have this reproach if you like to ourselves you think if only I was like them We use language like Well, I'm not a success I've I've not got a levels. I failed my a levels. I'm not a success I can't do that I Would never be like them. I could never be like them I'm a failure I Don't belong You know we use language if you use language like that Just in here you may not even tell people about it, but in here Then that is you are approaching yourself, and you are criticizing yourselves for not being successful or doing what is expected And we do that don't we and it and it's such a crippling thing it really is it's such a crippling thing that That that constrains and restricts and limits And as we focused on it limits what God can do innocent through us When as we're going to see he's won the freedom for us to be to not have to live like that. You see Rachel Stop worrying What other people thought about her? She stopped viewing herself as the loser as an object of ridicule of being Second best her approach was taken away by God Enabling her to have a child and in a kind of ironic twist of scripture this same father God takes away our approach Through the death of his only child on the cross at Calvary He's done it. He's done it. We don't have to live in that place where we are critical of ourselves all the time We don't have to live in that place where what we do is so conditioned by everybody else around us because that's what we're bothered Thinking about he has won freedom for us on the cross not to have to live like that Paul writes in fact Paul writes in his letter to the to the Colossians but Jesus has taken it away and nailed it to the cross if You're stuck in a place this morning where you are critical of yourself because of what other people have or haven't said and you've got false Expectations of yourself because it's driven by what other people have done or said or thought about you Jesus says I've nailed that to the cross we can be free Good Some of us are getting it we can be free and we need to come back to the cross and find that place and say Jesus I need your forgiveness. He writes Paul writes again in Romans 8 there is now no Yeah, get it see now that is classic isn't it that's a verse that we know and love because we're good Christians Right, but the trick is applying that to our lives day by day in our thought life You don't have to be critical of yourself. You don't have to stand accept the stand there say I'm a failure I'm no good because Jesus says no there is no condemnation for anyone who is in Christ We have to get a hold of that and apply it to our lives These scriptures are here to set us free and to bring us truth Not just simply to memorize but that is a step on the way, right? But here to set us free and we need to get a hold of this word and let it change our lives because this tells Us what God is all about this tells us what God has got a plan for you and a purpose for you This tells us how we need to live and discover who this Jesus really is and that he is alive today And it can change lives Just To come back to so it's a my little story when I was 18 and that sense of feeling, you know a loss Late, so it's just like Rachel. Nothing changed straight away. But later that year I had an interview at what was then called Sheffield Polytechnic And I remember going back on the train home from that interview and it's one of those really old trains Not steam train One of those really old trains were those carriages that have got six seats in only, you know The sliding door and there's three seats there And I had that compartment to myself on the way home and for the first time I didn't really use this language then But for the first time I had this sudden sense that God's hand was on what was going on and that switched Maybe even at that point or soon after and I wasn't bothered that my mates had gone away and off doing their thing Suddenly there was something far more significant on the scene God's hand God's plan God's purposes And so I finish with this and I do come back to this this issue of reproach And maybe as we sing at the end, I want to encourage you to respond to Jesus about this because you know Maybe the starting place is actually to ask for forgiveness Maybe Maybe the starting place is to say, Lord, I'm sorry to think like that I bring this all to you Jesus and if it's helpful I encourage you just to come and kneel at the cross and the sun and just do business with God Because he longs for us to be free from this. You don't have to live like that anymore because Jesus died on the cross and is alive today to change your heart change your mind and change your life and Those patterns those thought patterns can be transformed by the power of the cross and I just encourage you as we worship In a minute to respond to him. Like I said come and kneel on the floor and worship and give it to him He is the one who can do this You see when God breaks into your life There's a reevaluation of what truly matters and as we encounter a living God a Loving father who has called us by name who has chosen us who says you are mine Who has watched over us from before we were conceived Who has very great and precious promises for us and who ultimately gave us his only son for you And for me the more we live in that space the less we worry about what has happened What others think and the more we live in the goodness that our reproach is taken away by Jesus Amen

In the spirit of keeping the fire alive, Luvvie is re-airing some of her most listened-to interviews with some dope entrepreneurs to keep the inspiration flowing. In this episode, Luvvie is talking to lawyer, coach, and newly minted author Rachel Rodgers. Rachel is telling some powerful and formative stories she's never shared before. She talks all about her career as a lawyer and how she shifted into the coaching and entrepreneurial space, and why she's so passionate about making sure women – especially Black women – have the knowledge and tools they need to build multi-generational wealth. Rachel is someone who works hard, knows her boundaries, and is such a professional troublemaker.Luvvie and Rachel discuss how Rachel was able to go from a negative net worth to riding horses that she owns on her ranch. And through her book and her business, she walks women through how that life and outcome is possible for them as well.More about Rachel: Rachel is the founder of Hello Seven, a multi-million-dollar company that teaches women how to earn more money and build wealth, and she's the author of We Should All Be Millionaires: A Woman's Guide to Earning More, Building Wealth, and Gaining Economic Power.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joe and Rachel. They are happily married with three wonderful boys: John Paul, Anthony, and Caleb. After years of trying every type of weight loss plan you can think of, from severe calorie restriction to CrossFit, they decided to try the ketogenic lifestyle. Thankful for the opportunity to look forward to a happy and healthy future with their three adult sons, Joe and Rachel are excited to share their keto journey and hopefully encourage other families to change their diet and change their lives. After discovering the keto diet in 2017 and experiencing life-changing health results, Joe and Rachel made it their mission to share their testimony with as many people as possible. Their great hope is to encourage others who have experienced lifelong weight struggles and medical concerns. It is a game changer for their family to learn first-hand that diagnoses like morbid obesity, diabetes, arthritis, digestive issues, and chronic pain don't have to be a life sentence. Joe and Rachel want you and your family to experience improved health.  In this episode, Rachel and Joe open the show by speaking about their past health problems, including a lifetime of obesity, chronic pain, arthritis, acne, plantar fasciitis, and migraines. After trying a ketogenic lifestyle, Rachel and Joe stopped their symptoms and completely changed their health and mental wellbeing. You'll hear Rachel and Joe give tips on getting your significant other to try a ketogenic lifestyle. Tune in as we chat about the importance of self-love and the inspiration behind Joe and Rachel's YouTube channel, 2 Krazy Ketos.

One day, Joe decided to look into keto.  After trying keto, Joe immediately dropped twenty pounds in the first month.  Joe lost eighty pounds after six months of keto.  Plus, Joe no longer needed to take painkillers and arthritis pills on the keto diet.  [06:20] Dieting for Decades: The Keto Lifestyle Is a Game-Changer for Rachel  Rachel had been obese her entire life, and she had been dieting for decades. It was challenging for Rachel to make friends; she was teased a lot at school.  Rachel thought the only way to maintain success was calorie restriction.  Eventually, Rachel reduced her calories to 500 a day. Once Rachel tried keto, her plantar fasciitis, migraines, and acne were all gone. Plus, she finally had sustainable weight loss.  [12:55] Struggling With Emotional Battles and Working On Self-Love  Joe still looks in the mirror and sees the 300-pound Joe. One thing Joe tells himself is that the scale is the devil and the mirror is a liar.  Even after losing weight, Joe has an emotional battle when he looks in the mirror.  After decades of being so hard on ourselves, we have to do strength training in positivity. We falsely believe that we can love others and just skip that step of loving ourselves. In reality, we need to put energy into loving ourselves.  [18:00] How to Get Your Significant Other on Board With a Ketogenic Lifestyle   People don't get on board with keto because they think it's another fad diet.  Don't try and push your significant other. Instead, lead by example. Make sure to come from a place of love.  Joe was passionate about keto, so he cooked all the meals. That way, Rachel would jump on board. People must come on board when they are ready for keto. Otherwise, the lifestyle will never work.  [33:05] Looking for Support? Find Community With 2 Krazy Ketos  Joe and Rachel wanted to devise a way to talk to one another without bringing up the children.  So, Joe wanted to start a YouTube channel.  They make YouTube videos about what they eat and how they lost weight with keto. Eventually, Joe and Rachel started a community space, and they love facilitating community wherever they go. AND MUCH MORE!

In episode 3 of Definitely Baby's VBAC mini-series, three wonderful women share their journeys to VBAC. As the stories can attest, there is so much power in equipping yourself with evidence-based information and knowledge throughout your pregnancy, especially if you're planning a VBAC. There is so many great resources and podcasts you can gather this information, and I truly believe that the power of listening to other people's journeys to VBAC is one of the best and most empowering and encouraging forms of knowledge we can equip ourselves with. For anyone also on their VBAC journey, I hope these stories empower and encourage you. For anyone not on their VBAC journey, I hope you enjoy listening to the magic of these beautiful birth stories.  Story 1: Rachel Rachel is a mother of 2 who lives on Worimi Country, in the country town of Stroud, NSW. She lives with her husband Matt, 3 year old Connor and 12 week old baby, Eleanor. Rachel had her first birth whilst living in the Northern Beaches of Sydney in 2020, right in the middle of Covid. Through a classic cascade of interventions (induction, epidural, “failure to progress”) Connor was born via c-section at 41+5. Fast forward to 2023 and her daughter Eleanor was born via a beautifully empowering, drug free and largely pain free, VBAC. Birthing in a public hospital, with a fragmented model of care, she had to advocate hard for herself. By learning everything she could about VBACs and gathering an epic birth team, she was able to achieve a beautiful physiological birth with minimal interventions.  The full version of Rachel's birth stories will feature as one of the first episodes of the soon-to-be launched Australian VBAC Stories podcast. Check out the Australian VBAC Stories podcast's instagram page here. Story 2: Catherine Catherine lives with her partner Drew and boys Wilbur 4.5 yes and Percy 17 months, on the Surf Coast.  In her first Pregnancy, Catherine was part of the MGP program at the public hospital. Despite focusing on maternal positioning throughout the pregnancy, Wilbur was posterior and his head wasn't engaged. At 11 days over Catherine agreed to be induced, due to concerns around the his size. At 42 weeks Wilbur was born via caesarean, as his head never engaged. In between Wilbur and Percy's births Catherine had 2 early births, which, combined with the cesearean birth, impacted Catherine's confidence and trust in her body.  Catherine chose to birth with the Birth House midwives for Percy's pregnancy, and engage a supportive birth doula. During this time Catherine prepared herself mentally, physically and emotionally for a HBAC. Catherine went into labour at 11 days ‘overdue' and had an empowering, healing waterbirth at home.  The full version of Catherine's birth stories are included in an episode of the Australian Birth Stories podcast. You can listen to it here. Story 3: Georgia Georgia is a Birth & Postpartum Doula living in the Hawkesbury, north-west of Sydney with her husband and two daughters, Luna and Remi. For her first birth, she was induced at Christmastime in 2019 for post-dates, and unfortunately, experienced the typical cascade of interventions that led to an unplanned caesarean due to ‘failure to progress'. Georgia had a rough time with breastfeeding and held on to the grief of this difficult experience for a long time. Initially planning a repeat caesarean in her subsequent pregnancy, Georgia discovered the option of VBAC and homebirth at 24 weeks pregnant. She changed her plan, booked a private midwife and gave birth to her second daughter, Remi, at home in November 2021 after a marathon 36-hour labour that was beautiful, empowering and like nothing she could have ever imagined. The full version of Georgia's birth stories will feature as one of the first episodes of the soon-to-be launched Australian VBAC Stories podcast, that she is one of the hosts of.

We have few reactions, but a lot of questions. Such as: What is the MADAGASCAR series even about? Did the Penguins murder a human child? Why are all zebras the same guy? And how did four of these movies make money? You may not have much stake in the saga of Alex the Lion (was that his name?), but listen anyway. This week's recommendations: Kahmeela is on board with the FATAL ATTRACTION series, Sean is here to defend THE MOTHER and Robin loves RACHEL RACHEL. (No, not Rochelle Rochelle.)

"I don't know if you're talking about God or LSD." Rachel, Rachel (1968) directed by Paul Newman and starring Joanne Woodward, James Olson, Kate Harrington and Estelle Parsons Next Time: Willard (1971)

Rachel shares a three-step process she uses to help individuals connect with their authentic power, remove confusion and take significant steps forward on their unique life path.Rachel also can offer excellent guidance through the ancient Hebrew letter combinations known as the 72 names of God.Here is a bit more about Rachel: “Rachel discovered Kabbalah in 2000 when her exploration of spiritual development led her to a lecture at the Los Angeles Centre. Already an accomplished young businesswoman at the time, she had material success but felt there was more to life; more she could contribute to the world. Rav Berg's words, “the purpose of Kabbalah is to remove chaos from the world,” struck a deep chord in Rachel. She immediately delved into the wisdom of Kabbalah and, within months, was working at the LA Centre. Rachel officially became a Kabbalah Centre Instructor in 2010, a role she relishes because she can connect with her students on a soul level. Her goal is to ignite their desire to connect to their true, inner selves so that they can draw out their strength and find fulfillment in life. She has a background in business from her native land of Israel and is a certified life coach, CBT therapist, and practitioner of other healing modalities.”Please find me on Instagram @debbiesugarb to watch the video episode and form part of the Cosmic Chat community.You can now support my work by visiting this link: https://linktr.ee/Debbiesugarbor becoming a monthly supporter at:https://www.patreon.com/user?u=74935027 Hosted on Acast.

This week's parsha begins to wrap up Yosef's (Joseph's) isolation in Egypt. As we read in last week's parsha, Miketz, in the second year of the famine (that Yosef so deftly interpreted from Pharaoh's dream), Yosef's brothers leave Israel to get grain from Egypt. When they come before Yosef, his brothers don't recognize him, which is credible. He's now 39 and the last time they saw him was when he was 17, and he's dressed and groomed like an Egyptian. But Yosef recognizes them and decides to put them through a little test. Yosef demands that the brothers leave and come back, but this time with their youngest brother — Yosef's full brother, the son of Yaakov (Jacob) and Yosef's mother Rachel (Rachel), Benyamin (Benjamin). He wants to see if the brothers have changed since their awful treatment of Yosef so many years ago, and so before letting them go, Yosef hides a silver goblet in Benyamin's bag. Yosef takes Benyamin to be his prisoner, but immediately Yehuda (Judah) jumps to Benyamin's defense, which is where our parsha this week, Vayigash, picks up. Yehuda demands that he be taken instead, claiming thatYaakov won't survive losing Benyamin, because he has already lost his other beloved son (Yosef). Yehuda's plea is so moving and genuine, that Yosef breaks down and reveals his identity to his brothers. It's a moving moment, one that is unique because the Torah doesn't often describe emotional expressions in such detail. Even when Yosef reveals who he is, the brothers are still shocked and even embarrassed, terrified that now Yosef will take revenge on them for their actions when he was 17. Yosef says something extremely powerful, proving that he doesn't blame his brothers for their treatment of him. He says — “You did not send me here… G-d did” לֹֽא־אַתֶּ֞ם שְׁלַחְתֶּ֤ם אֹתִי֙ הֵ֔נָּה כִּ֖י הָֽאֱלֹקים Yosef expresses an incredible sentiment that only someone in his situation can truly understand. We are truly just G-dly agents on this earth. Of course we have free will, or bechira (בחירה), but what will be will be … מה שיהיה, יהיה. It's a complicated topic that I don't think I will ever truly grasp! Yosef's brothers finally accept that he has forgiven them, and Pharaoh insists that they all move to Egypt. This news of Yosef's brothers is specifically mentioned as being pleasing or good in the eyes of (וַיִּיטַב֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י, vayitav b'enei) Pharaoh and his servants. Why would Pharaoh and his servants be happy that Yosef's brothers came from Israel? And on a broader level, what makes anyone happy? We are happy about a lot of things. We're happy when good things happen to the people we love, or to people who deserve good things, and of course to us, right? I'm sure you've read those pop psychology articles about how sharing good news with others leads to second-hand positivity which has been recorded as leading to better communication, healthier relationships and working environments, and even better sleep! A study at the University of Rochester saw that when undergraduate students shared certain happy events with others and were greeted with enthusiasm, they were in a better mood and rated that event as being more special or more fulfilling than if met with indifference.

Do you want to know a secret? Kate never actually wanted to be a copywriter. Her dream was to be a magazine writer. In fact, she was voted “Girl Most Likely To Write For Smash Hits” when she was at school. But there's more. She was also a feature editor for her uni newspaper interviewing Blur and Bob Monkhouse. She interned at several sexy music mags in London. And she was accepted onto a prestigious magazine journalism course. Whaaaat? But she couldn't afford it. So she didn't go. So she spent the next 10 years wandering in the wilderness of digital production... until she found copywriting. But Kate still yearns to be a REAL Writer. (And we're all nodding here, right?)

Rachel Sklar takes the guest seat this week to tell us how the Finding Impact Podcast is helping her with her business in Rwanda. Rachel runs Pit Vidura, which offers pit latrine emptying services in dense urban areas where there are no sewers. On this episode you'll learn Apart from helping to improve her business, the podcast has helped Rachel get back into long distance running! When she's back at her desk Rachel listens to bits again and writes down the parts that were the most insightful and sends it to members of her team, inviting them to listen and come back to her to have a conversation about it. The podcast is confirmation to Rachel that they're on the right track. Sometimes they have to make stuff up on the fly and under pressure. So later when they listen, they realise others have taken their course of action as well. The podcast also confirms that not everyone has the answers before they start. Rachel and her team are not from a business background so some of the knowledge, in the form of frameworks or processes, is really useful. They also hear that others are doing the same thing they are, but they speak about it using more formal language and approaches. So it allows Rachel and her team to redevelop their strategy in a more structured way and speak to people externally using the right language. She loved the episode with Lauren from GetIt about how her food distribution business soon became a logistics business, since this is what their pit emptying business has become. Fausto's episode was also instructive in that he shared how the early days were so scrappy, and they survived from winning a few prizes and surviving off of customer revenues, which is how it's been with Pit Vidura. Fausto was also open and honest about the emotional side of a startup, and the thoughts of failure, which Rachel experiences. The interview with Jonathan Lewis also resonated with Rachel, about a sector-wide problem which is the lack of diversity in social enterprise, and which she's now building into the values of her company to intentionally confront this. The episode with Rob Mills helped Rachel talk about social enterprise to more traditional investors, and help them understand what a social enterprise is. Rachel really enjoyed the episode on unit economics with Steve Andrews. As with many social enterprises serving the base of the pyramid, you need to be so clued-up on your unit economics and use it as a management tool for decision making. We talk about imposter syndrome, where you feel you don't have enough of experience, knowledge, skills, (insert next one here!)... to build a business. Rachel has found listening to the podcast has made her realise that everyone's in the same boat - no one really knows everything they're going to do from the beginning and there are times you've just got to do your best. Human capital is a constant struggle and something that doesn't just go away, but needs constant effort behind a clear strategy. Cycling through employees, particularly during the early days, is an approach others take as well, whilst jealously guarding culture. Also, we discuss a very open style of management, where you get to know your team personally, as described by Raghu Krishnasway. Rachel suggests a way to improve the podcast could be to touch on people's personal careers or lives, maybe even an activity, a quote, a joke, or something, so that listeners get a little more sense of their personality.
