She is committed to studying the Bible in context & with a deep commitment to its inspiration, authority, & inerrancy.

After watching this entire recording of the Women of Earth Project Empowerment Call #8, please register the Matrix Code NCRADIO3.75 in your free account at StartOver.xyz. This Experiment is worth 1 Matrix Point. -------- The land holds a heartbreaking beauty that pulled the old Gods and Goddesses to appear here in their many shapes. Function follows form. This got me thinking. If I shape myself in a form attractive to the Archetypal, I might entice it to bless me with its intense caress of Love and its unshakable clarity of empowerment. What if I can shape an entire gameworld in such attractive form? What if I can remind my fellow women that their natural shape is one that the Archetypal cannot resist? What if I interact with my sisters as if they were already so irresistible? Wouldn't that be quite something? This was our territory of exploration yesterday in the #8 monthly Women's Project Empowerment Call. A longing for "More" is a call towards the Archetypal. "More" does not come from other people meeting you where you want them to be. "More" comes from allowing yourself the Radical Love of Consciousness pour through you. The bigger vacuum you create, the more life will be sucked into your wake. We started defining new Archetypal Conversations in addition to the Possibility Lab Process of the Archetypal Women - Men Conversation (The Masculine meeting the Feminine for healing). Archetypal Conversations are first meant as a profound healing to complete, integrate and place in the past a Low Drama that has lasted for hundred or thousand of years. We are talking here about the abuse of men on women, but also the abuse of white people on black and indigenous people during colonization time. Yesterday the conversation centered on the Jewish / Arab, Israeli / Palestinian war extending to any conflict happening now on Planet Earth. What if instead of having Women and Men healing, we would bring Women and Women raging, grieving, completing their abuse with each other? Maybe at the end, they would stand panting, staring at each other, both side with their heart crack-opened and be able to truly SEE that the Women across from them are EXACTLY like them: Women, in pain, feeling, loving fiercely, and wanting to heal, but who also just like them have let their children being caught in the crossfire of psychopathic warmongers. Could this happen? I think it could. I think the women could do this. -------- Women carry seeds for projects that are in fact bridges to regenerative cultures. It is time for these seeds to sprout, but obsolete thoughtware often interferes. If you think, 'I need to have it all figured it out before I start.', 'I do not know how it goes.', 'I am alone.' These patterns keep patriarchal structures in place. Something completely different from this is possible right now. The Women of Earth movement specializes in transforming old thinking and feelings patterns and weaving effective team collaborations. Each month we will select two or three women's projects to amplify. Your project does not need to be contexted in Possibility Management. The requirements are that your project is: 1. Source by one or more Women. 2. A Bridge to regenerative culture: we are interested in project that empower edgeworkers to reclaim their authority, regain their dignity, become the source-person of their life by exiting the Patriarchy, and occupying next culture. Projects range from training programs, half-way houses, single mom's centers, permaculture projects, gameworld consulting, and more. You are invited to join without a project as an amplifier for your sisters' endeavor. In monthly online Project Empowerment meetings we will distill next steps and immediately practice them. SPACEHOLDERS: Anne-Chloé Destremau & Vera Franco WHEN: on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from @7.30-9pm CET Next meeting: Tuesday 17 June, 2025 INVESTMENT: monetary free. REQUIREMENTS: You already had a first contact with the Women of Earth movement through a WoE Possibility Team, WorkTalk, or Rage Club; or you have participated in an Expand The Box Training or a Possibility Lab in the last year. The Women of Earth context is centered on Radical Responsibility, Nonmaterial Value and Authentic Adulthood Initiations. We will apply Archan thoughtware.

In this episode, we catch up with our longtime friend Natalie Firsker, and wow—you're going to be so inspired by her story. Natalie shares how a mission trip at age 12 sparked a lifelong passion for serving in Mexico, and how that radical “yes” turned into leading a nonprofit, The Aloe Family, that now spans across multiple countries.

Plus, Natalie spills a little about life with her NFL husband and how they're figuring out marriage, ministry, and mission all at once. It's honest, fun, and full of practical encouragement for anyone asking: “What does it look like to radically follow Jesus right where I am?” Topics Discussed The Start of a Calling: Natalie shares how her heart for Mexico began with a mission trip and one little girl who changed everything.

Ministry + Marriage: Natalie opens up about life with her husband Anthony, an NFL player, and how they make two different worlds beautifully overlap. Boundaries & Burnout: How she protects her peace, prioritizes rest, and keeps her soul healthy in a demanding season. What Radical Faith Really Means: We close out with a powerful reflection on what it means to say “yes” to Jesus in the big and small, the easy and the scary. Thanks To Our Sponsors!

In this message, Pastor Chris Cheema examines the story of Simon the Magician in Acts 8 to show that without the love of God, everything we say, believe, or do amounts to nothing. Using 1 Corinthians 13 as a framework, he identifies four areas—words, gifts, faith, and works—that lose all value when disconnected from God's agape love. The sermon challenges listeners to move beyond outward performance and shallow belief, and instead pursue true relationship with Jesus through repentance, surrender, and receiving the Holy Spirit.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter takes us through day 129 of our journey through the Scriptures, reading from 2 Samuel 17, Psalm 71, and Matthew 26. Together, we witness intrigue and escape in David's story, heartfelt cries for protection and hope in the Psalms, and pivotal moments in the life of Jesus as he shares the Passover meal, is betrayed, and faces his coming crucifixion. Hunter reflects on the contrast between the spirit and the flesh, reminding us of the power of Christ's spirit to shape our lives with self-giving love, forgiveness, and strength—especially in our moments of weakness. Join us for prayer, reflection, and encouragement as we seek to align our hearts with God's will and remember: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: TODAY'S DEVOTION: The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. That's what Jesus tells Peter in the garden on that dark night, and it's a word that echoes through the centuries right into our own lives. We see in Peter a heart full of promises and strong intentions—a heart that truly loves Jesus, that wants so much to be faithful. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you,” Peter insists. And yet, only hours later, Peter denies even knowing Jesus—not once, but three times. His spirit longed to be steadfast, but his flesh was so very weak. This is true of us, too, isn't it? We can bluster and boast, we can set out with every intention to walk the way of Jesus, to do good, to forgive those who hurt us, to stand strong in temptation—but the flesh betrays us. Our willpower alone isn't enough. In fact, as Hunter reminds us today, the flesh is a miserable failure at shaping the will. No amount of determination or good intentions can produce the lasting transformation we long for. Only the spirit of Christ can do that work in us. But consider the contrast: Three times Peter fails, but three times, on that very same night, Jesus prays, “Not my will, but your will be done.” In the very place where Peter's flesh falters, Jesus chooses the way of radical self-giving love, moulding his will to the Father's, empowered by the Spirit—even though it will cost him everything. The success of Jesus' obedience is not simply a high bar for us to reach with our own efforts—it is good news for us. That living, willing Spirit of Christ can now abide in us, enabling us to walk as he walked. What does that mean for us? It means we can embody a different kind of love—a love that gives, that forgives, that “co-suffers” and bears with others. It means the power to become the people we were meant to be doesn't come from trying harder, but from abiding deeper—in Christ, through his Spirit. He can shape our will to his. He can empower us to forgive what feels unforgivable, to love what feels unlovable, to hope when all seems lost. That's good news. The invitation isn't to perform better in your own strength, but to remain, to abide in the presence and life of Christ—so that, like him, our will might be moulded to the Father's in love. That's the prayer I have for my soul today: that I would abide in Christ and learn the way of his self-giving, joyful love. It's the prayer I have for my family. And it's the prayer I have for you. May we each, through the Spirit's willing power, find our strength, our hope, and our joy in the life of Christ. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of heaven and earth, you have awakened us in your mercy once more. Still our anxious minds. Quiet our striving hearts, and help us to rest in the knowledge that we are held by you. May we walk in step with your spirit today, not ahead, not behind, but beside you in trust and love through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen. Oh god of all peoples, you formed every soul in your image and breathe life into every heart. Open the eyes of the nations, soften hearts grown cold, and teach us to live as neighbors and friends. Let your spirit move in power. Renew the face of the earth and usher in your reign of peace. Amen. And now, lord, let me be a bearer of your peace where voices divide. Let me speak grace where fear takes root. Let me plant trust where the world rushes on. Let me walk with you. May I seek not to climb, but to kneel, not to win, but to love, not to grasp, but to give. For it is an emptying that we are filled, in surrender that we are strengthened, and in union with you that we find our truest joy. Amen. And now as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids Jed Doherty dives into the transformative power of storytelling, self-love, and acceptance through conversations with two incredible authors who are changing children's lives. First up is Bobbi Chegwyn, creator of the Radical Ray series, who shares her inspiring journey from school bus driver to children's author. Drawing from her experience driving the "Kind Bus," Bobbi developed a unique approach to teaching emotional intelligence to kids. Her books follow Ray, a young protagonist who learns about "radical love" - a powerful concept of seeing the best in people and yourself, even during challenging times. The episode then shifts to Lori Hoffman Penna, author and illustrator of "Cattawampus," a touching picture book about a cat with crooked paws. Hoffman Penna's story beautifully illustrates the importance of acceptance, showing children that differences should be celebrated, not feared. Both authors emphasize critical messages for young readers: Every child matters Kindness is a superpower Self-acceptance is crucial Empathy can transform lives Listeners will be inspired by the authors' approaches to teaching complex emotional concepts through engaging storytelling. Whether it's Ray's adventures in radical love or Cattawampus's journey of self-discovery, these books offer more than entertainment - they provide valuable life lessons.

In this message, Pastor Chris Cheema explores the centrality of love in Christian life, emphasizing that all spiritual gifts, knowledge, and even acts of faith are meaningless without love. The message is grounded in biblical teachings, particularly 1 Corinthians 13, and highlights how love should be the foundation of every believer's actions. Pastor Chris urges the body of Christ to move beyond superficial expressions of faith and embody Christlike love in daily interactions, relationships, and service. The teaching challenges individuals to examine their hearts and align their lives with God's love, ultimately transforming their faith into a genuine, impactful witness. Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49413465
Are you trying hard enough? Many live with a faith built on rules, effort, and religious compliance, but Jesus calls us to something greater—a love that is radical, grace-driven, and transformational. In this message, Pastor Fred unpacks Mark 12:28-34 and explores what it means to move from effort-based faith to the freedom of radical love.
How would you describe your relationship with Jesus? Skeptic? Believer? Lukewarm? Growing? This Sunday, we will be in the first part of Acts 21, and we will get a glimpse into the kind of relationship that Paul had with Jesus, which can be summed up in two words: Radical Love. Through this passage, God invites us to throw away the box that we can put Him in and experience a more radical love with Christ than we ever thought possible.
Pastor John McManus, reading from Paul's letter to the Romans, shares how God calls us to love others despite circumstances and the treatment we may receive in return.Follow on twitter - https://twitter.com/ImmanuelBibleNJFollow on facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ibcnj.org/For more information, please visit: https://ibcnj.org
Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.Loving your enemy is a command that defies our natural instincts. In a world that teaches retaliation, Jesus offers a revolutionary path: selfless, unconditional love. But how? What does that look like when enemies take advantage of you, hurt you, and oppose what you believe?In this final statement of six, Jesus confronts a big lie: that love is only for those who love us back. Instead, He calls us to a love so radical and countercultural that it makes people stop and ask, Why?Today, we'll unpack what it truly means to love our enemies—not by ignoring justice, but by mirroring the love God first showed us.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 2, 2025 at 8:00am.

We discuss Celtic tradition, the collective pain body of women and the colonized, embodied Christianity, and how to experience grace profoundly. We also discuss innate feminine initiations and how we can honor our womanhood without forcing or pushing it. Rev Melanie Ní Drisceoil is a minister and writer devoted to the Heart of Christ. Melanie supports people with Christian ancestry to reconnect with the gifts of their lineage while transmuting the shadows and metabolising the pain-body. In her ministry at Sanctóir Croí (which means heart sanctuary in Irish), she supports women in restoring their relationships with themselves, God, and others. Her work includes one-on-one spiritual direction, ceremonies, the Mystic Mass, and teaching Christian theology in a way that honours and integrates feminine power instead of fearing it.

A sermon for Epiphany 7, February 23, 2025. Luke 6:27-38 Jesus said, "I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you. "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. "Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back."

We've been changed by the radical love of Jesus—saved, redeemed, and given new life. But here's the question: What are we doing with it? When something transforms us, we can't help but share it. Just like finding an incredible restaurant or watching an amazing game, we naturally tell others about what moves us.This week, Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, leads us as we dive into what it means to share the life-changing love of Christ. From the lepers in 2 Kings 7 who stumbled upon salvation and knew they couldn't keep it to themselves, to Paul's declaration that the love of Christ compels us—God's love isn't meant to be hoarded. It's meant to be shared.If we truly believe the gospel is good news, why would we keep it to ourselves? What's stopping us from sharing the greatest gift we've ever received? Let's talk about how Radical Love pushes us beyond comfort, beyond fear, and into the lives of others—so they, too, can know the hope we've found in Jesus.Missioncity.church_______________________________Sermon Notes are available at missioncity.church/watch

2025 The Year of Radical Love In this powerful message, Ps. Landon Schott delves deep into the profound story of Job from the Old Testament, examining why Job's unwavering faith and love for God were truly radical. This message sets the tone for 2025 as the 'Year of Radical Love,' emphasizing that true love for God should be unconditional, without reasons that can be manipulated by Satan to turn believers away from their faith. The sermon highlights key biblical concepts such as different types of love (phileo and agape), daily encounters with God, being planted in a church, and spiritual growth through loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Alongside personal anecdotes and practical advice, Ps. Landon passionately calls the congregation to embrace and demonstrate radical love, akin to God's perfect love for humanity.
There are only three people in Hollywood Glenn wants to interview — Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, and Zachary Levi. In this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Glenn sits down with Zachary Levi, author of “Radical Love,” an actor known for his leading roles in “Chuck,” “Tangled,” and “Shazam!” Glenn and Zachary discuss his “coming out politically” and do a deep dive into Zachary's fall into a “dopamine spiral,” his battle with suicide, and how “insanity” runs in Glenn's family “like a pack of wild animals.” The pair “thank God” Trump won the election but worry about the “snark” and “sarcasm” within the conservative movement and hope we all maintain the humility to say, “I was wrong.” Zachary says the legacy media has played a “nefarious” role in dividing Americans. Glenn explains the “octopus of the administrative state,” and they both agree that we are not prepared for AI's infiltration of every single industry. After discussing the deep state, smartphones, BlackRock, Syria, Ukraine, vaccines, Elon Musk, and even the afterlife, Glenn asks the question on everyone's mind: What does Zachary, who has just announced he's going to be a father, mean when he says he's going to “lock it down” with his girlfriend?
