Guilt can creep in quietly. Sometimes it stems from clear mistakes—words spoken too quickly, decisions made without prayer, moments we wish we could redo. Other times, guilt grows from things beyond our control: physical limitations, unmet expectations, or the sense that we simply aren’t doing enough. Romans 8:1-2 speaks directly into those heavy places: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” That is not partial freedom. It is complete freedom. Through Jesus, we are released from the law of sin and death and invited into the life-giving grace of the Spirit. As believers, conviction from the Holy Spirit draws us toward repentance and restoration. But condemnation—the crushing, lingering voice that says you are defined by your failure—does not come from God. If you have surrendered your heart to Christ and asked for forgiveness, you are forgiven. Period. Guilt often tries to convince us that everything depends on us: that others’ well-being, outcomes, or perfection rest solely on our shoulders. But God is sovereign. He cares for you and for the people you love. He works even through what feels like weakness, missteps, or unfinished tasks. You are not loved because of flawless performance. You are loved because you belong to Christ. His grace is not fragile. His forgiveness is not temporary. His plan is not derailed by your imperfections. Today, you can release the weight you’ve been carrying. There is no condemnation. You are free. Main Takeaways Guilt can arise from both real mistakes and unrealistic expectations. Conviction leads to repentance; condemnation leads to shame. Romans 8:1 promises complete freedom from condemnation in Christ. God remains in control, even when we feel we’ve fallen short. Forgiveness through Jesus is full, final, and freeing. Today’s Bible Verse Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2) Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Remind me that there is no condemnation in Christ, and help me walk in the freedom You have already given me.” Listen to the full prayer here.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 6:15-17. We live in a world that treats sexual sin like it's harmless, private, and victimless. People defend themselves with one sentence that sounds so innocent: "I'm not hurting anyone." Paul destroys that myth in three verses. Because if you are in Christ… your body belongs to Christ. And if your body belongs to Christ… your choices involve Christ. Paul doesn't ease into the point. He detonates it. "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!" — 1 Corinthians 6:15 He's saying: When you use your body for sexual sin, you drag Jesus into it. Not metaphorically. Not symbolically. Literally. Because your body is a member of Christ. A limb of Christ. A temple of Christ. Your sin isn't private. Your choices aren't isolated. Your actions don't happen in a vacuum. Sex isn't casual — it's union. "For, as it is written, 'The two will become one flesh.'" — 1 Corinthians 6:16 When you join your body to someone in a sinful way — whether that's porn, adultery, hookups, sexting, cohabitation, or any form of sexual immorality — you're not just touching sin. You're uniting with it. Sex fuses. Sex bonds. Sex creates spiritual attachments. And if you belong to Christ, every competing union wounds you, warps you, and pulls you away from the One you're meant to be joined to. "But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him." — 1 Corinthians 6:17 That's why the myth of "I'm not hurting anyone" is so toxic. You're hurting your own soul. You're hurting your fellowship with Christ. You're hurting your spiritual integrity. Sin never stays in one place. Sin always spreads. Sin always hurts. Christ doesn't expose this to shame you. He exposes it to heal you. To restore you. To call you back to the union your soul was made for. Because when you're joined to Christ… you don't join yourself to anything that tears you away from Him. DO THIS: Identify one area where you've believed the lie "I'm not hurting anyone," and bring it into the light before God. ASK THIS: Where have I convinced myself my private choices don't affect my relationship with Christ? What union—physical, digital, emotional, or mental—do I need to break? How is the Spirit calling me back to deeper oneness with Christ? PRAY THIS: Father, expose every lie I've believed about sin being harmless. Remind me that my body belongs to Christ and my choices matter. Give me the courage to break false unions and cling to the One who redeemed me. Amen. PLAY THIS: "You are Holy"

A Prayer to Believe that Love Never Fails with Rachael Adams We all know what it feels like to be disappointed by human love. In this episode by Rachael Adams, we reflect on the contrast between fragile, imperfect earthly affection and the steadfast, never-ending love of God.While people may fail us—and we may fail others—God’s love remains constant. Psalm 136 repeats the powerful refrain “His love endures forever” 26 times, reminding us that His faithfulness spans generations. In a world of inconsistency and change, God’s character remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. Reference: Psalm 136:1 Prayer: Father, heal my broken heart. I've been hurt by the people in my life who have let me down. Help me to forgive them. I also acknowledge that I have caused heartache. For that, I am sorry. Make my heart more like yours. Remind me of the ways that you have exhibited your affection for me. I don't want to go to anyone else looking for the love only you can give. Thank you for being steadfast and never failing me. In Jesus' name, amen.

SAVI Basketball Membership 7-day free trial: https://www.skool.com/savi-coach Late in the season, most coaches try to fix too many things at once. In this episode, Mark and Tyler break down a simpler, higher-leverage approach: identify your best action, identify the coverage hurting you most, and decide — do you prevent it or punish it? You'll also learn why coaches revert to the same tools under pressure, how to build offensive vocabulary that actually transfers to games, and how the Hedgehog vs. Fox framework can sharpen your late-season game planning. Whether you're a high school, youth, or college coach, these are ideas you can take into practice this week.

Some moments drained my strength more than I expected. Some conversations stayed with me longer than they should have. Some challenges still linger at the edge of my thoughts. “Porque Te amo, o Senhor me protege e me resgata.” Let this truth settle over my spirit: You protect me not because I am strong, but because You are faithful. You step into my fatigue and offer a gentler way forward. Hold my heart in this quiet hour and steady what feels unsettled within me. Your word reminds me that the Spirit helps me in my weakness. “O Espírito me ajuda na minha fraqueza.” When my strength runs thin, You become the strength I no longer have. When my mind feels stretched, You bring calm. When my emotions feel frayed, You restore peace thread by thread. A Tua presença sustenta meu ser. Let this evening become a place of rebuilding, not collapse; renewal, not retreat. Jesus, breathe fresh life into me now. Lift the tensions that cling to my shoulders. Quiet the thoughts that continue to rush even though the day is ending. Restore what today has taken. Remind me that I am not walking alone. Your presence surrounds me, carries me, and strengthens me far beyond what I can produce on my own. Let Your peace settle like evening light over every moment that remains. Let Your renewing strength fill me with hope for the hours ahead. Jesus, rescue my tired heart. Protect my thoughts. Renew my strength.

Who Said That? #RTTBROS #Nightlight"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." — Philippians 4:8You know, I heard a story once about a young soldier in World War II who was separated from his unit deep in enemy territory. In the darkness and the confusion, he kept hearing voices, some calling him toward safety, some toward danger. The terrifying part wasn't the silence. It was that some of those enemy voices were calling out to him in perfect English.That story has stuck with me, because I think it's a pretty accurate picture of the inner life of most of us.We assume that every thought that pops into our heads is our own. But here's something worth sitting with today: not every voice you hear in your mind is actually you. The enemy of your soul is a real being, and Scripture is clear that he is the accuser, the deceiver, the one who comes to steal and kill and destroy. He is not above whispering fear into your ear and letting you think it was your own idea. Too soon old and too late smart, I spent a lot of years arguing with thoughts that never should have gotten a hearing in the first place.Martin Luther, that great reformer, understood this. He's often quoted as saying you can't stop a bird from flying over your head, but you can certainly stop it from building a nest in your hair. Not every thought deserves a lease agreement in your mind. Some of them need to be evicted on the spot.The Apostle Paul wasn't writing poetry when he penned that verse in Philippians. He was handing us a filter, a way to examine what's knocking at the door of our thinking before we let it set up house. Is this thought true? Is it honest? Is it pure? Is it lovely? Because if it isn't, it didn't come from the Father of lights. It came from somewhere else entirely, and you don't have to receive it.So the next time fear starts whispering that everything is falling apart, or that old condemning voice tells you that you're worthless and beyond hope, stop for just a moment and ask yourself, whose voice is this, really? Because God's voice brings conviction that leads to life. The enemy's voice brings condemnation that leads to paralysis. Learning the difference just might be one of the most important things you ever do.You get to choose what you think about. That's not self-help talk, that's Scripture.Let's pray: Father, help us be good gatekeepers of our own minds. Give us the discernment to recognize the voice of the enemy, and the courage to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Remind us today that Your voice is the one worth listening to.

Morning Mantra: "Today I will take a moment to simply be."You don't always have to be moving forward. Sometimes you just need to float for awhile to catch your breath and enjoy all the beautiful things you miss when you are rushing through life.S...l...o...w..... it all down.  Pause from your full calendar and task list. Remind yourself that THIS is life, right here, right now.Pause to remind yourself that life is precious and fragile and should be lived in love. To remind yourself that THIS moment is all you really have and wherever you find yourself is where you are supposed to be.Most humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don't allow our bodies to heal, and we don't allow our minds to slow down.Of course, none of this really helps you live a better life- the one you are chasing so aggressively.  So, the very least we can do is take a moment to remember to simply be.  Even if you have to set a timer or write it on your calendar- practice the pause.#BeHereNowMomentsMatter #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 6:1-3. We crave justice—deeply. When someone wrongs us, cheats us, mistreats us, or lies about us, something in our soul cries out, "Make this right." But too often we run to systems that don't share our worldview, don't understand our values, and don't operate under the Lordship of Christ. It's no wonder Paul is stunned: believers are running to secular courts to solve spiritual family matters. Before Paul rebukes them, he raises their identity: When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! — 1 Corinthians 6:1–3 This is Paul at his sharpest—and most surprising. "You will judge angels." He's not talking about cute heavenly messengers. He's talking about evil angels—fallen beings—those who rebelled against God. That's cosmic responsibility. That's eternal authority. That's weight reserved for the redeemed. Paul's point is simple: If God trusts you with cosmic judgment, why can't you handle everyday conflict? The Corinthians were acting spiritually powerless, begging unbelievers to settle disputes that believers—with the mind of Christ—were more equipped to handle. Their shame was magnified because they were behaving like spiritual infants while being destined for heavenly authority. Paul isn't telling Christians to reject the legal system entirely. He's telling them to stop outsourcing what God equipped the church to handle spiritually and relationally. You're going to judge angels. You're going to judge the world. You're entrusted with eternal authority. So act like it now. Paul's rebuke invites us to recover something the modern church has nearly lost: Spirit-filled, Scripture-shaped, wise believers resolving disputes in the household of faith. We're not powerless. We're not dependent on the world for wisdom. We're not helpless victims needing secular referees. God has given His people everything they need—truth, Spirit, counsel, unity, courage—to handle conflict within the family of God. Paul's message is this: You carry future authority, so live with present responsibility. Don't act like someone who needs the world to fix what the Spirit can resolve. DO THIS: Ask God to help you handle conflict with spiritual maturity. If there's a grievance you've been tempted to take outward, bring it inward—to wise believers who can help you resolve it with grace and truth. ASK THIS: Where have I run to worldly systems for justice instead of pursuing reconciliation within the body of Christ? Who in my church family could help mediate a conflict biblically and wisely? How does my future role in God's kingdom shape how I handle conflict today? PRAY THIS: Father, give me wisdom and courage to handle conflict in a way that honors You. Remind me of the authority You've given Your people, and help me pursue reconciliation with humility and strength. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Justice"

https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Money-Talk.mp3 Quick Answers What is Biblical Stewardship? It is the recognition that God owns everything, and we are merely managers of His resources. It shifts the burden of "providing" from your shoulders to His. Is money the root of all evil? No. Scripture says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Money itself is morally neutral; it is a tool that reveals where your heart truly lies. Will more money solve my anxiety? Likely not. Anxiety often scales with income. True peace comes from trusting the Provider, not the size of the provision. How do I start budgeting with my spouse? Separate the "business" of the budget from the "romance" of the relationship. Don't ruin date night with a spreadsheet; schedule a specific time to talk numbers. Why is tithing important? It isn't about paying the church's light bill; it's a spiritual discipline that breaks the grip of greed and reminds us who the true Owner is. The Weight of the Wallet Man, we have all been there. You open the banking app on your phone, and your stomach drops. The number isn't what you thought it was. Suddenly, the transmission on the truck sounds a little clunky, the kids need braces, and you feel that familiar tightening in your chest. The world tells men that their worth is directly tied to their net worth. If you can provide, you are a success. If you are struggling, you are a failure. That pressure is crushing, and it keeps millions of men awake at night, staring at the ceiling, doing mental math that never seems to add up. But here is the hard truth: the anxiety you feel about money often has very little to do with the actual amount in your account. We assume that if we just hit that "magic number"—the next raise, the paid-off mortgage, the lottery win—the fear will vanish. It won't. The only thing that truly alleviates financial anxiety is a fundamental shift in perspective. We have to move from a mindset of ownership to a mindset of Biblical Stewardship. When you realize you aren't the owner of the resources, but merely the manager, the pressure begins to lift. Defining the Terms: What is Biblical Stewardship? In church circles, we hear the word "stewardship" and immediately clutch our wallets because we assume it's code for "the pastor needs a new roof." But Biblical Stewardship is far more expansive and liberating than just a Sunday offering. Biblical Stewardship is the theological belief that God is the owner of everything—your money, your house, your car, your talent, and even your next breath. Psalm 24:1 is clear: "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." If you are the "owner" of your life, then every financial hit is a personal attack on your security. If the market crashes, you lost. If the water heater breaks, your kingdom is crumbling. That is a heavy burden to carry. However, if you embrace Biblical Stewardship, your role shifts. You are now the asset manager for the Creator of the Universe. Your job isn't to hoard or to worry; your job is to ask, "Lord, how do You want me to manage these resources You have entrusted to me for this season?" The success of the "fund" ultimately rests on His sovereignty, not your striving. The Great Misquote: Money vs. The Heart To understand Biblical Stewardship, we have to clear up one of the most common lies men believe. You have probably heard someone say, "Well, money is the root of all evil." That is technically incorrect. The Apostle Paul actually wrote to Timothy that "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Timothy 6:10). There is a massive difference. Money is just paper and metal. It has no moral agency. It can be used to traffic humans, or it can be used to build orphanages. The money isn't evil; the heart handling it is where the danger lies. When we fail to practice Biblical Stewardship, we start to love the gift more than the Giver. We look to the bank account for the security and peace that only God can provide. That is when money becomes an idol. And like all idols, it will eventually crush its worshippers. True Biblical Stewardship requires us to hold money with an open hand. We respect it as a tool, but we refuse to worship it as a god. The "Just A Little More" Trap You might be thinking, "That's all great theology, but I have real bills. If I just had an extra $10,000 a year, I wouldn't be stressed." Don't be so sure. The podcast hosts discussed a phenomenon that every financial advisor has seen: the moving goalpost. You can talk to a man making $40,000 a year, and he is stressed. You can talk to a man making $400,000 a year, and he is also stressed. The lifestyle inflates to match the income. The guy making minimum wage worries about rent; the guy making millions worries about the stock market or losing his empire. There is a story of a billionaire who was asked, "How much money is enough?" His answer? "Just one more dollar." Without Biblical Stewardship grounding you, "enough" is a horizon you can never reach. You will chase it until you are in the grave. The practice of Biblical Stewardship teaches us contentment. It reminds us that our provision comes from the Lord, not from our hustle. It allows a man to look at what he has—whether it is little or much—and say, "Thank You, Lord. How should we use this?" rather than, "It's not enough." Practical Steps to Biblical Stewardship So, how do we move this from a theological concept to a Tuesday morning reality? Biblical Stewardship is practical. It shows up in how we budget, how we spend, and how we talk to our spouses. 1. The Budget is a Spiritual Tool If you don't know where your money is going, you aren't managing God's resources; you are losing them. Biblical Stewardship requires a plan. It's not about being a penny-pincher; it's about being intentional. Sit down and look at the numbers. Be honest. Ignoring the debt won't make it disappear. God can't bless a mess that you refuse to look at. By creating a budget, you are telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went. 2. Separate Finance from Romance Money is the number one cause of divorce. Why? Because we mix the stress of the bills with the intimacy of the relationship. Here is a pro-tip from the podcast: Don't do the budget on date night. Date night is for connection, dreaming, and enjoying each other. If you bring up the credit card bill over appetizers, the night is over. Schedule a separate "business meeting" for the household. During that meeting, practice Biblical Stewardship together. Pray over the bills. Ask God for wisdom. Then, when date night comes, leave the spreadsheet at home. 3. Build Margin for the Broken World A key component of Biblical Stewardship is preparation. The podcast noted that many men live "vacation to vacation" rather than preparing for the inevitable emergencies. If you spend every dime you make, you are presuming on the future. When the transmission blows or the medical emergency hits, you are forced into debt, which creates more anxiety. Biblical Stewardship involves the wisdom of the ant (Proverbs 6:6)—storing up in the summer so you are ready for the winter. Building an emergency fund isn't hoarding; it's responsible management that protects your family from the unexpected. The Tithing Question You can't talk about Biblical Stewardship without talking about giving. Why does God ask us to give? Does He need our money? No. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He doesn't need your check to keep the lights on in heaven. God commands us to give because He knows how easily money can grip our hearts. Giving is the antidote to greed. When you write that tithe check or support that missionary, you are physically declaring, "God, I trust You more than I trust this money." It is an act of rebellion against the scarcity mindset of the world. Some men get hung up on the "net vs. gross" argument or the specific percentages. They miss the heart of Biblical Stewardship. The goal isn't to check a legalistic box; the goal is to develop a generous spirit that mimics the generosity of God. As the podcast mentioned, we shouldn't just think about "paying the church's electric bill." We are investing in the Kingdom. From Anxiety to Trust The transition to Biblical Stewardship is rarely instant. It is a journey. You will have months where you fail. You will have moments where the fear grips you again. But the more you practice this mindset, the more you will find a strange, settled peace. You will realize that your identity isn't in your bank balance. You will stop looking at your neighbor's new truck with envy because you know you are running a different race. You will find joy in being a conduit of blessing rather than just a reservoir of cash. God wants you to be free. He doesn't want you enslaved to debt or paralyzed by the fear of the future. He invites you into the partnership of Biblical Stewardship so that you can experience the joy of trusting Him. When the bills stack up, take a deep breath. Remind yourself: "I am a manager, not the owner. God, show me what to do with what I have." A Challenge for the Steward This week, take one step toward Biblical Stewardship. Maybe it's finally opening that scary envelope from the bank. Maybe it's setting up a time to talk to your wife about the budget without fighting. Maybe it's giving something away just to prove to yourself that money doesn't own you. The world says, "Get all you can, can all you get, and sit on the can." But you aren't called to be like the world. If you are going to be something, be uncommen. Check out our other resources in our library. Follow Our Podcast on Apple | Spotify

Comment on this episode by going to KDramaChat.com Today, we'll be discussing Episode 13 of Start-Up, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Bae Suzy as Seo Dal-mi, Nam Joo Hyuk as Nam Do San, Kim Seon Ho as Han Ji Pyeong, Kang Han Na as Won In Jae, and Kim Hae Sook as Choi Won Deok. We discuss: The songs we featured during the recap: Dream by Jamie, Ransomware by Kim Dong Hyeok, Remind by Park Sejun Joanna's epic night at the TWICE concert at Capital One Arena — 21,000 fans, multi-generational crowds, and how “Takedown” from KPop Demon Hunters is bringing TWICE to new audiences in the U.S. The meaning of the episode title “Comfort Zone” and how it perfectly captures Han Ji Pyeong's three-year stalemate with Seo Dal Mi. Ji Pyeong's awkward confession while making skewers, why saying “I want to be the first person you think of” wasn't quite enough, and whether jewelry is a bold romantic move or a panicked leap out of the friend zone. Yeong Sil's iconic baseball analogy — “Two outs in the bottom of the ninth and a full count” — and why it may be the motivational speech Ji Pyeong needed to finally swing the bat. Nam Do San's three years in Silicon Valley: success, stock options, Napa wine, yachts on the Bay… and whether coding became his emotional safe haven after heartbreak. The ransomware attack on CheongMyeong Company — port 22, SSH vulnerabilities, decryption keys, and whether finding the key was even remotely realistic (thank you to our cybersecurity friends for weighing in!). The thrill of problem-solving: why Do San says he hasn't felt this alive in years — and whether returning to Korea means stepping out of his own comfort zone. The complicated dynamic between the sisters as Dal Mi (now CEO of CheongMyeong) and In Jae (대표님) maintain strict professionalism at work while still struggling to reconnect personally — especially around Chuseok. Han Ji Pyeong's heartbreaking timing yet again — arriving just after Do San saves the company — and why Dal Mi hesitated to call him during the crisis. The bromance vote over street skewers and tteokbokki outside Sandbox — and the emotional moment when the three friends decide to stay in Korea together. Our favorite lines: – “Two outs in the bottom of the ninth and a full count.” – “Don't throw a pebble into a calm lake.” At the end of the episode, Ji Pyeong confronts Do San in the elevator, gift in pocket, promotion title acknowledged (상무님!), and the rivalry officially reignites. Joanna's interview with real-life venture capitalist Tim McLoughlin of Cofounders Capital — decision-making under uncertainty, making peace with imperfect data, and why looking backward can slow you down. Next week, we recap and analyze Episode 14 of Start-Up and begin narrowing down our choice for Season 14. Send us your recommendations!

The start line is where nerves, adrenaline, and self-doubt all show up at once. In this episode, I share five simple phrases every athlete can use to stay grounded, patient, and present when it matters most. We talk about trusting the work you've done, resisting the urge to race too early, narrowing your focus to what's right in front of you, and normalizing the fact that things will get hard. We also zoom out and remember what racing is really about — celebrating the work, the community, and the joy of showing up on race day. Whether you're racing a 5K, marathon, triathlon, or stepping into competition for the first time, these phrases are tools you can come back to again and again to execute better and enjoy the experience more. Save them. Repeat them. And take them with you to your next start line.

Today, we are circling back to remind{h}er 112: Remember We Are Dust. This episode originally aired two years ago, on February 14, 2024, which happened to be Ash Wednesday that year. If you are listening in real time now in 2026, today is Ash Wednesday, too.  Similar to our last Circle Back episode, two years later it seems this message still rings true. It's a reminder that continues to haunt me in the very best way. It's a reminder I know we continue to need. As we begin the season of Lent, I hope this Ash Wednesday episode {once again!} serves you well. And if you're just now finding it and Ash Wednesday and/or Lent is through, I hope it serves you well, too.

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks! We're heading overseas this week while Brittany tells us all about Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh, Scotland. This 16th-century graveyard is infamous for violent disturbances and physical attacks on visitors, particularly around its Mausoleums. And these attacks aren't from the living… After literal centuries of horrendous occurrences (and we mean like straight out of a horror movie), this place has got GHOSTS. And these ghosts are pissed. And if you think you're safe, just ask some of the most recent tourists… these spirits are still active to this day.

Hello to you listening in Bellingham, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.There is nothing quite so still as an old growth forest to settle the anxiety I feel in these times of madness. Walking deep in the woods of the island's old growth forests a stillness beckons me to stop and listen deeply. The stillness asks if I can hear the immense power and depth of silence. I am reminded that all sounds arise from silence and fade back into silence.When we take the time to stop and experience silence we calm our mind, still the crazy chatter, breathe more deeply. Allow stillness. Stay with silence as long as you can. Tune in to your intuition, see clearly, hear your heartbeat, feel the blood coursing in your fingertips, and sense the steadiness of your breath coming and going easily. Remind yourself that we are alive and connected to all beings.Question: How does it feel to seek a bit of refuge in the stillness of the present moment? How does it feel to be alive, vibrant, and in tune with silence?   You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace. . . . — 1 Peter 4:10 It was Easter morning, and I was excited to be part of the church service that day. My ideas and sermon were ready to go. I was anticipating a great morning. When I arrived at the church building, there seemed to be more cars than usual, considering how early it was in the morning. I smiled and walked through the door. The smell of bacon and other breakfast favorites hit me, and I saw smiling faces who were ready to celebrate Easter too. What a surprise! I am sure I looked startled because it took me some time to adjust my face, and I think my heart skipped a few beats. Greeting me were new believers who were excited about sharing God's love with others, and they had decided to surprise everyone with a wonderful breakfast before the worship service. One of these new Christians owned a small restaurant downtown, and he had planned it all. I am sure that Jesus was happy with all this, and after a few moments I was able to adjust too. We shared a wonderful meal and then a wonderful time of worship and praise to God—all with the smell of bacon still hanging in the air. Recognizing the gifts of others is a lesson we all need to learn. And celebrating all this to the glory of God is essential. What's more, giving people room to use their gifts in ways that open doors lets them enjoy being people of peace. What is your gift?  Lord, thank you for the joy of serving you and serving others. Remind us to be thankful for others' gifts and to celebrate together. Amen.

May you have the courage to stand in your own knowing.May you find the grace to let go of striving for perfection, and instead embrace the sacredness of your imperfect, human journey.May luminous moments of optimism and possibility guide you,even as you move through gray times of despair and doubt.May you have the wisdom to choose differently, to prioritize what truly matters,creating a legacy that lingers.

As we have journeyed through life, you and I have experienced the comfort God can give. We know what it is like to feel his presence. We know the comfort God can give to a weary soul. The Bible also teaches us that we should use the comfort God has given us, and comfort others. Main Points:1. As we study the scripture, we begin to realize God wants to use us as His agents of comfort to others. Since we have experience in facing life's challenges, but have also received God's comfort, we should be ready, willing, and available to express this comfort to others.2. One of my convictions is that in the body of Christ, no one should struggle alone. We are to be there for one another. Sometimes comfort is not found in the words we say. Have ever thought, “I don't even know what to say?” Comfort is often not received in our words, but more so by our presence. I call this the ministry of presence. It's a ministry to just sit and be with those who are suffering or grieving. The simple act of holding someone's hand, a hug, and a prayer for God's peace can comfort a heart that is hurting.3. We bring comfort by sharing how God has sustained us through our hard times. Remind them of God's presence. Encourage them to know God will never leave them or forsake them. Comfort them with the comfort you have received from God. Today's Scripture Verses:Psalm 34:18  - “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”2 Corinthians 1:3-5 - “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ."Romans 12:15 - “…mourn with those who mourn.” Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

https://teachhoops.com/ Adversity is not an obstacle to your season; it is a required ingredient for building a championship culture. Whether it is a key injury, a heart-breaking loss on a buzzer-beater, or the "January Lull" where the grind starts to wear on your players, these moments are "Character Audits." As a coach, your reaction to adversity sets the ceiling for your team's resilience. If you remain poised and "solution-oriented," your players will mirror that stability. The goal is to shift the narrative from "Why is this happening to us?" to "What is this teaching us?" By reframing a mid-season slump as a necessary test, you prepare your team for the inevitable pressure of the postseason, where mental toughness is the ultimate tie-breaker. To navigate adversity effectively, you must lean into your "Core Values" and "Non-Negotiables." When things go wrong, the natural instinct of a team is to fragment and play "hero ball." This is when you must "double down" on your system. Use film sessions not to point fingers, but to show where the standards slipped. Remind your players that they are "Better Together" and that the "Power of the Unit" is what will carry them through the storm. In your mid-season mentoring calls, focus on "Emotional Consistency"—maintaining the same intensity and belief whether you are on a five-game winning streak or a three-game skid. This consistency builds "Trust Equity," ensuring that your athletes don't panic when they face a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter. Finally, remember that the most enduring legacies are built in the "Valleys," not just the "Peaks." A team that learns how to fight back from a deficit or handle a difficult coaching decision develops a "competitive scar tissue" that makes them nearly impossible to break. Celebrate the small wins during these tough stretches—a player's bench energy, a teammate's defensive rotation, or a successful execution of a sideline out-of-bounds play. By focusing on "The Process" rather than the "Result," you keep the team's eyes on the horizon. When you eventually emerge from the adversity, you won't just have a better basketball team; you'll have a group of resilient young leaders who understand that true success is found in the persistence of the climb.

How To Provide a Release Plan Without Losing Agility - Mike CohnStakeholders want to know what will be delivered, and when. Your team wants to stay agile. So how do you create a roadmap (aka release plan or milestone plan) without locking down every detail? I'm about to start on a road trip between Idaho and Colorado: a 16-hour drive. I know where I'm going, and my general route, but I don't know every turn I'll take — and that's fine.That's how agile teams should treat release plans and roadmaps.My route is a plan, not a promise. It's not set in stone. The turns I made and my ETA could change based on roadwork, traffic congestion, an opportunity for an exciting detour, or even a flat tire. The further the distance I have to travel, the more uncertainty I should expect.Agile plans are the same. We can't predict every eventuality, but we can provide a forecast. We can provide a general idea of where we are planning to go, a predicted range of when we will likely hit key milestones, and our confidence level in the plan. Most agile teams know there's too much uncertainty to make guarantees. At the same time, they feel like a guarantee is the only thing stakeholders will accept.Here's what agile teams might be missing: Stakeholders have their own plans to make. And they are just as worried about being held accountable to their predictions as teams are.Stakeholders need accurate delivery dates and milestones (note I didn't say precise). They crave predictability.Sometimes it might feel like they're asking for a guarantee. But in truth, the only way to give them absolute certainty is to Overpad your estimates (like me telling someone my 16-hour drive will take 24, just in case), orRefuse to adapt when conditions change. Neither is good for the product, or the team. So what can you do when a stakeholder seems to want a guarantee vs a forecast? Try this: Talk to stakeholders in terms they understand.Here's one technique I've found helpful:Compare their request to requests for similar forecasts in their own domain.For example: Ask a salesperson what their comfort level would be if they were asked to guarantee exactly how much they'll sell — and which customers they'll close — in each of the next six months, or in the first year of a product's release.Ask a marketing person what their concerns would be if asked to commit to specific campaign results with exact timelines.Don't be confrontational. The point isn't to trap them — it's to show that uncertainty exists everywhere, and that agility is a strength, not a weakness. Then, share my road trip analogy with your stakeholders. Tell them that you can't give them a guarantee, but you can present a roadmap that looks ahead 3-6 months. The roadmap will show the team's goal, how much progress you believe you can make by when (expressed as a range), and your team's confidence in the plan.  Need help communicating your plans? Try our Plan Visualizer Tool, free for all MGS Essentials members.   Remind stakeholders that, like suggested routes on a long trip, agile roadmaps provide visibility, align expectations, and help people plan — without pretending every turn is known in advance.Freeing your team from unrealistic expectations can accelerate their move from good to great.A roadmap is a plan, not a promise Why stakeholders push for guarantees  The path to alignment starts with empathy Give stakeholders what they need to succeed How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Are you in the middle of a storm you didn't ask for? Divorce. Sickness. Emotional stress. There is hope for you.   In this episode of Chosen By Jesus, Kelley and Taylor Tyan speak to the woman who is carrying more than she ever expected and quietly wondering how to stay grounded when life feels unsteady.   Storms don't mean your faith is weak. They reveal how deep your roots are.   This conversation explores the difference between emotional faith and anchored faith—and why anchored faith doesn't stop storms, but it does stop drifting. You'll be reminded that faith doesn't remove pressure, but it steadies us in the middle of it. ⸻ In this episode, we talk about: • Why dark seasons don't ask permission • How pressure exposes what's underneath • Why faith steadies us instead of removing storms • What you return to when overwhelmed—and why it matters • How small, daily spiritual rhythms build deep roots ⸻ Scripture referenced: Hebrews 6:19 Jeremiah 17:7–8 Isaiah 40:31 Romans 15:13 ⸻ Anchors don't stop waves. They stop drifting.   Storms will come—but rooted women don't drift. They stand. ⸻ PRAYER FOR THOSE IN A STORM Divorce • Sickness • Stress   Lord, For the one listening in the middle of a storm they didn't ask for—be their refuge.   For the one navigating divorce, bring wisdom, peace, and protection. For the one facing sickness, bring strength, comfort, and hope. For the one under emotional stress, bring rest to their mind and calm to their body.   Remind them they are not drifting. They are being held.   Give them courage for today—not the whole journey, just today. Help them stay planted, even when the wind is strong.   In Jesus' name, amen. ⸻ CALL TO ACTION Subscribe for weekly faith-filled conversations Like this video if it encouraged you Share with someone who's waiting but still believing Comment below—we pray over every request ⸻ ABOUT CHOSEN BY JESUS Chosen By Jesus is a Top 1.5% Christian podcast worldwide, streamed in 16+ countries, with 725+ hours of YouTube watch time and a growing global community seeking biblical wisdom, peace, and encouragement. ⸻ One Year. 12 In-Person Gatherings.

“Curiosity is a foundation for connection.” –Nathalie PinchamDoing everything you're supposed to do and just running on fumes? Knowing you're good at what you do (but starting to wonder) because business is floundering? You're not alone! And there are things you can do. I'm diving into that with coach Nathalie Pincham.Nathalie works with people on both strategy and success mindset. That includes figuring out what's holding you back, and it could be what made you successful to this point.She's created a series of 10 archetypes that can help you understand yourself and your business and believes in the power of curiosity.We talk about: Reconnecting with your purpose — and getting help figuring out what's blocking youProfit vs. revenue — figuring out your numbersWhy you shouldn't be doing everything in your business just because you canBetter questions to ask than “what do you do?”What opens up when we stay curiousBringing more intentionality and connecting to purpose to all thingsABOUT NATHALIE Nathalie Pincham of Your Success Tonic offers strategic coaching for visionary leaders and founders and believes one curious question can change the whole trajectory of your week (or your business!).LINKShttps://www.yoursuccesstonic.com/https://www.yoursuccesstonic.com/quizhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nathaliepincham/DOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is how change happens.Often we feel like our actions have to be huge to match the bigness of our desires, but we have seen over and over and over again that the little things add up. By stacking up a series of Doable Changes, you will create that big change that you crave. Choose the one that really resonates with you this week and really make it part of your life. Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation:ANCHOR IN YOUR WHY. If you're feeling like things aren't working, take some time to remember your why. Why are you doing this? What really matters? Remind yourself that you are doing something valuable and have something important to share. This allows you to start building your business from a place of strength.ASK DIFFERENT QUESTIONS. Instead of asking “What do you do?”, ask people: What do you need? What drives you? What inspires you? Be curious about them. See what opens up when you ask questions that let people show you more of themselves.COACH FROM CURIOSITY. In conversations with...

Heavenly Father, I come to you as the vine dresser of my life. I confess that I cannot bear fruit on my own. I need to abide in you to thrive. Lord, I submit to your pruning hand. I ask that you cut away every branch in me that hinders my walk with you, my pride, my selfish ambitions, and my unproductive habits. Though I know the pruning process may be painful, I trust that you are cutting away only that which is necessary for me to bear more fruit. Strengthen me in my weakness. Remind me of your love for me, and help me to trust you in your wisdom for the season, the season of growth. Cleanse my heart, Lord, and remove anything that draws me away from you. I desire to reflect your image and to walk in your ways, so that my life may bring glory to yours. In Jesus' name. Amen.Thanks for listening! Follow us on Facebook or YouTube.

This episode walks you through this week's astrology + practical and magical tactics to help you harness and navigate the energetics February 9th - 15th, 2026. This week is definitely more. Venus goes for a swim, Mercury gets shady, and Saturn, officially shifts into Aries. Saturn's move is the one to watch. In general grounding is still our focus. Confusion ramps up, but so does the desire to create self-discipline around progress. Mo(o)nday, February 9th: We have significant shifts this week. Continue to focus on care of you so you can care for you and yours. We continue the long game that is 2025 - 2026. More of the energetics that are so major from 2025 take hold in 2026, this week and next. General reminder: The Year of the Snake (2025 energy) is still in play until next week Lunar New Year, February 17th - on the first eclipse of the season. This is when the Fire Horse energy officially begins. Until then, we are shedding, listening, evaluation, releasing, squirming to transform and let go. Don't look away, do not disassociate, escape, or look away. These are defining moments personally, and collectively. We are called to get radically honest about what bad behavior we have let slide and what we really, really, really want..from the depth of our soul....and to then take action towards said thing(s). We still have no personal planets in Earth. My loves, the issue of general stability is real. We will not have support from the astrology on this until March 30th (when Venus moves into Taurus) and May 2nd (When Mercury moves into Taurus). Grounding is everything this year. Mat, meditation, prayer, time alone, root veggies, nourishing food, decrease in caffeine, lifting heavy things, weighted blankets, hugs, slathered in vetiver and honey, conversations with safe community. All of your tools need to be at the ready and you'll need to stick to basics. This is one of those times when motivation will not serve. It's going to be self-discipline and adulting and understanding the long game. We have equal placements in Fire, Air, and Water and this is a nice harmony....again...in theory...without Earth it still feels chaotic, mutable, and in general unstable....because it is...and if we focus on harnessing all the mutability...we can create incredible outcomes because of it, not in spite. We are in transition. As an individual and as a collective. Focus on what you want. Participate at a pace and in ways you can. All is helpful, just please do not tap out completely. Boundaries, limits, expectations, and hopes continue to sharpen. This week as Saturn moves into Aries for the first time since 1999 we gain focus on self-discipline, ambition, responsibility, and self assertion. And although Saturn doesn't do so well in Pisces (where it's been since 2023), it's considered to be in its fall in Aries. I don't prescribe to binaries and try to stay away from it. In astrology nothing is good or bad...but there can be ease or challenges and this is definitely a challenge. It sets a fire under our collective asses. It has us all focusing on what is best for us as an individual (more equity) but we can see how that can create conflict and challenge if everyone individually is focused on personal centering, yes? To harmonize this, we must embrace intersectionality. Freedom for one, is freedom for none. Justice for one is justice for none. We rise together. We thrive together. Our practices are genuinely meant for this. When we calm and center ourselves, we can earnestly do the same for the collective and the future. Tiny and mighty. It still matters. It always matters. This transit takes us to task in a really good way. We will start stepping up in ways we have not before. Go with it. Embrace it. It's a 3 year process. On top of all of this, we're in the eclipse portal. We just need to be aware of how big all the energetics are right now. On top of no Earth in the chart, a shift from one of our major planets (Saturn) the Universe says it's time for buckets full of energy/magic to be dumped on us as it hits the reset button of astrology (power off/power on) in eclipse season. This eclipse portal begins now, essentially, and closes March 13th. This is the period of time we will be uttering "Plot twist! " "That was not on my bingo card for 2026" or "I did not see that coming." PLEASE REMEMBER these things can be incredible gifts, happy surprises, opportunities, and blessings! It is truly wild times with incredible potential and wonderful Easter eggs tucked in them. Stay curious about what your soul really wants, and stay focused and committed to what you want. Where attention goes, energy flows. Tuesday, February 10th: Day 1 of Supportive Solutions - You'll need a wall space for this workout. I know it can be a tricky prop to require, but again I'm a super fan of this no cost support that can also create resistance. Simple is best and always works. Venus in Pisces. This is a regular transition. Venus continues to move her way through the chart house by house. She stays in a sign an average of 4 weeks at a time. Venus loves to be here! We are here for this romantic, poetic, creative, backstroke through our fantasies and realities. Embrace this. Fuel this. Spend extra time with Aphrodite in this period of time (till March 6th) to expand, grow, and protect all the good things in our lives (friendships, networks, communities, partners....overall connections). They both want our desires to become a reality. This is one of the major Easter eggs of 2026. Wednesday, February 11th: Listen to The Magic Spark. Thursday, February 12th: Connect in The Unicorn Wellness Studio private member group. Friday, February 13th: It's Goddess Day! Time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? Today is actual Goddess Day - a Friday on the 13th. This is not bad luck, this is a historical celebration of the female divine, in its origin terms, in honor of the 13 moon cycles, our personal 13 moon cycles. It's truly an anti-patriarchal day. Reclaim it. Celebrate. Embrace creative life force, it's unlimited hope and potential to forever recreate, birth, make new, and begin again. However it calls to you, spend time at your altar, spend time with your vessel/body. Remind yourself of the potential YOU are and can generate and participate in. -Mercury Retroshade begins. We know the drill: ▪️Mercury stations retrograde 3xs a year ▪️The slow down prior to stationing Rx is called the pre-shadow or as I call it Retroshade. ▪️The actual Rx is lighter than the pre or post shadow. ▪️This week and next (Retroshade) is the brochure of the lesson/blessing we are to work with in this cycle. ▪️We will revisit this opportunity again in the Rx (February 26th - March 19th) and post shadow (March 20th - April 3rd). This Retrograde isn't great. I cannot sugar coat it. Mercury is not the best swimmer. Things get mucky, confused, poetic, and sound really great but could just be pretty words and empty promises. It could, at its best, offer feeling to heal things, honest words, the get raw and hit soul truths but will take effort after retrograde to bring to actual fruition. Triple check communications, travel, and finances. As clarifying questions. If you think you should check on something, DO. We will thrive and survive, but know this one isn't set up for ease. Check what house Pisces is in in your natal chart. This is where your themes and focus will be. This is great energy for making and creating. Focus on that. Craft, write, sing, dance, garden, cook....this is the way through. Saturn moves into Aries. Please see Monday. But here's the repeat: Saturn moves into Aries for the first time since 1999. We gain focus on self-discipline, ambition, responsibility, and self assertion. And although Saturn doesn't do so well in Pisces (where it's been since 2023), it's considered to be in its fall in Aries. I don't prescribe to binaries and try to stay away from it in the astrology...nothing is good or bad...but there can be ease or challenges and this is definitely a challenge. It sets a fire under our collective asses. It has us all focusing on what is best for us as an individual (more equity) but we can see how that can create conflict and challenge if everyone individually is focused on personal centering, yes? To harmonize this, we must embrace intersectionality. Freedom for one, is freedom for none. Justice for one is justice for none. We rise together. We thrive together. Our practices are genuinely meant for this. When we calm and center ourselves, we can earnestly do the same for the collective and the future. Tiny and mighty. It still matters. It always matters. This transit takes us to task in a really good way. We will start stepping up in ways we have not before. Go with it. Embrace it. It's a 3 year process. This is one of the major shifts we experienced a toe dip into in 2025 but takes root now, in 2026. Neptune and Saturn are travel partners these days. Delusion, dreams, and what it takes to bring outcomes to fruition is the lesson they are trying to teach the collective. Day 1 of Core Solutions - You'll need a set of yoga blocks for this workout. It's extra core focused and you'll be better supported with a cork set of blocks for stability and resistance. Saturday, February 14th: First day of New Moon Energy. We begin the down turn of energy today. But this is no regular new moon we're headed towards on the 17th. We're in the eclipse portal and the energy may have gotten weirder already, as early as Monday or Tuesday. This is a new moon so it's all about clearing the schedule for restoration, rejuvenation, rest, and meditation. Things will shift. Let them. Whatever is leaving, going, releasing....let it. Welcome in the new, emotional intelligence upgrade. Use your monthly meditation (it's a 3rd eye cleanse), work with any of the Energy Healings; Frequency or Goddesses in your UWS member library. Now is the time for recalibration and healings. Sunday, February 15th: Your weekly mantra. I surrender to the pivot. I embrace the plot twist. I keep my heart and mind focused on what I want, wish, and desire. I allow the upgrades, the reveals, the resets, and the fresh timelines. Our wildest dreams are still possible. We hold the vision.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 4:6-7. Pride rarely shows up overnight. It inflates slowly—one comparison at a time. The Corinthians were comparing leaders, comparing gifts, comparing wins, and comparing influence. Every comparison pumped a little more air into the ego. So Paul says: I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another. For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it? — 1 Corinthians 4:6–7 There it is: "puffed up." Inflated. Air-filled. Hollow confidence built on comparing yourself to someone else. Comparison is spiritual bloat. It makes you look bigger, but it always makes you weaker. Paul doesn't just call it pride—he shows what fuels it: You compare your strengths to someone else's weakness. You compare your wins to someone else's struggles. You compare your gifting to someone else's calling. And suddenly, you're "puffed up in favor of one against another." Comparison always produces two outcomes: inflation or deflation. Neither leads to humility. So Paul places a pin in the ego with one question: "What do you have that you did not receive?" It's one of the most humbling sentences in the chapter. Your gifts? Received. Your opportunities? Received. Your abilities? Received. Your influence? Received. Your successes? Received. When you realize everything is a gift, boasting feels ridiculous. You didn't earn the breath you're breathing. You received it. When you remember everything comes from God, something beautiful happens: The bloating stops. The ego shrinks. The comparisons fade. Gratitude rises. Because you can't be "puffed up" when you know you're living on received grace. Therefore, puffed-up faith pops under pressure. So stay grounded. Stay grateful. Stay aware that everything you have comes from a generous God—not a comparison chart. DO THIS: Identify one area where comparison has inflated or deflated you. Then replace comparison with gratitude by thanking God for what you've received. ASK THIS: Where am I most tempted to compare myself with others? What gift from God have I been treating like something I earned? How would gratitude—not comparison—change my posture today? PRAY THIS: Father, expose the places where I've inflated myself through comparison. Remind me that everything I have is received from You. Make me humble, grounded, and grateful. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Give Me Jesus"

A Prayer to Receive God's Love with Nicolet Bell & Rachael AdamsJoin Nicolet & Rachael to talk about what it really means to love yourself from a biblical perspective. Together, they address the tension between today’s self-care culture and the call of Scripture to live sacrificially.The conversation explores how comparison, guilt, and self-loathing keep many women from experiencing God’s love, and how prayer and rest help restore a healthy, Christ-centered perspective. Ultimately, biblical self-love begins with receiving God’s love and allowing it to overflow into love for others. Reference: Ephesians 3:18 Prayer: Lord, help my children to know that they can't earn your love. Remind them that you love them just because they are Yours.

The Right Table #RTTBROS #Nightlight"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness." — Matthew 23:27You know, I saw something on social media the other day that really stopped me in my tracks: "Don't beg for a seat at a table Jesus would flip over." Now that'll preach, won't it?It got me thinking about all the times we exhaust ourselves trying to earn approval from systems and people that Jesus Himself would challenge. We bend ourselves into pretzels, compromise our convictions, water down our witness, all to get a seat at some table that looks impressive from the outside but is spiritually bankrupt on the inside.Jesus had zero patience for religious performance. When He walked into the temple and saw the money changers turning His Father's house into a marketplace, He didn't politely ask for a seat at their table. He flipped the whole thing over. "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves" (Matthew 21:13).Here's what I've learned, and I'm too soon old and too late smart on this: the tables that demand the most from us often offer the least in return. They want our conformity, our silence, our willingness to play the game. But Jesus came to flip those tables, not franchise them.Think about the religious leaders of Jesus' day. They had the best seats, the longest robes, the public recognition. People were literally begging for their approval. But Jesus looked past all that religious window dressing and called it exactly what it was: dead men's bones dressed up to look alive.The truth is, we spend so much energy trying to impress people who are impressed by all the wrong things. We're hustling for validation from systems that value appearance over authenticity, position over character, performance over transformation.But here's the beautiful part of the story: while the religious elite were guarding their exclusive tables, Jesus was eating with tax collectors and sinners. He was pulling up chairs for the outcasts, the broken, the ones who knew they needed a Savior. "They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick" (Matthew 9:12).Jesus isn't asking you to beg for a seat anywhere. He's already prepared a place for you at His table. And let me tell you, that table is set with grace, mercy, and unconditional love. No performance required. No games to play. Just come as you are.So maybe it's time to stop exhausting yourself trying to earn approval from tables Jesus would flip over. Maybe it's time to walk away from systems that demand you shrink yourself to fit in. Maybe it's time to remember that you already have a seat at the only table that truly matters.History is just His story, and in His story, there's always room at the table for broken people who know they need a Savior.Let's pray: Father, give us the courage to walk away from tables that require us to compromise our convictions. Help us find our worth not in the approval of man, but in Your unconditional love. Remind us that we already have a seat at Your table. In Jesus' name, Amen.#Faith #ChristianLiving #DailyDevotion #TrustGod #BiblicalWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #RTTBROS #Nightlight #Authenticity #GraceBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Today, we are kicking off our first ever Circle Back series. If you aren't sure what that is, I recommend listening to remind{h}er 152: Circle Back to hear a little more about the heart behind the series. We're starting with a remind{h}er from five years ago—remind{h}er 38: A Spirit of Hospitality. If you've listened to this episode before, it might be interesting to consider how your understanding or practice of hospitality has grown or shifted since the last time you listened. If this is your first time engaging this episode, it might be worth considering what your life and circumstances were like back in February 2021 when it first released. What has your experience of God been like since then? Who were you then and who are you now?

For many women, the hardest part of working in male-dominated industries isn't the work itself—it's the constant pressure to prove, tolerate, and stay quiet just to belong. In this powerful conversation, Samantha shares her lived experience as one of the few women in aviation and maintenance, revealing the mental toll of being the "only one in the room" and how that pressure quietly erodes confidence, self-worth, and wellbeing. This episode is about protecting your mental health without shrinking, and learning how to stay, lead, and earn what you're worth—without burning out. ABOUT THE GUEST: Samantha Kaye Harris is a workforce retention and confidence strategist for women in the trades and other male-dominated fields. With more than 25 years of experience in industries like aviation and structural maintenance, she helps women speak up, lead strong, and stay in careers they worked hard to get into— instead of feeling pushed out. ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: 1. START YOUR BRAG BAG TODAY Document your achievements, wins, and accolades—no matter how small. Review it when self-doubt creeps in. 2. DOCUMENT YOUR EXPERIENCES Write down when you're interrupted, overlooked, or disrespected. Don't dismiss it as "just the guys." 3. PRACTICE SELF-VALIDATION Stop waiting for external validation. Trust that you are qualified, capable, and belong. 4. SET BOUNDARIES WITHOUT APOLOGIZING Practice saying: "Let me finish," or "Give me a moment, and then you speak." 5. REFRAME CHALLENGES AS GROWTH Ask yourself: "What am I learning from this that will help elevate me?" 6. BREATHE AND RECONNECT When overwhelmed, stop and take a deep breath. Remind yourself of who you are. 7. SEEK SUPPORT WHEN NEEDED Consider working with a coach or counselor who understands your unique challenges.   CONNECT WITH SAMANTHA KAYE HARRIS: Website: https://www.theskhsolutions.com/  LinkedIn: Samantha K.

Discover what happens to our well-being when we respond to suffering with compassion, collective action, and why choosing to care can help us hold on to our shared humanity.Summary: In the face of widespread suffering, many of us struggle with how to respond without becoming overwhelmed or numb. Drawing on research and real-world experience, this episode of The Science of Happiness examines the psychological impact of bearing witness, acting in alignment with our values, and showing up for others—even when it's hard. We look at how compassion, agency, and a sense of common humanity can both strengthen resilience and carry real emotional costs, and why people continue to act anyway.Take our 5-minute survey https://tinyurl.com/happyhappysurvey. Thank you for helping us make the podcast even better!How To Do This Practice: Pause and name what's happening: Take a moment to notice what you're feeling as you witness suffering or injustice—anger, grief, numbness, confusion. Naming the emotion helps calm the stress response and keeps you from shutting down or looking away. Reconnect with common humanity: Remind yourself: there are no “good people” and “bad people”—there are people.  Clarify your values on paper: Write down one to three values that matter most to you right now (for example: compassion, integrity, dignity, justice). Studies show that writing values down lowers stress and makes it more likely you'll act in alignment with them. Gently ask yourself: “What does a person like me—with these values—do in a situation like this?” Consider what access, safety, or influence you may have, and what constraints you face. Acting with integrity looks different for everyone, and this step helps you choose a response that is both values-aligned and realistic. Choose a safe, doable action: Action doesn't have to be loud or risky. It might be writing, speaking up in a meeting, supporting someone directly, or adding your voice to a collective effort. Even small actions strengthen agency and social connection. Reflect and reconnect: After you act, check in with yourself. Notice any sense of alignment, relief, meaning, grief, or fear. Acting with integrity won't erase pain, but it helps protect mental health and shapes who we become over time. Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.Today's Guests:DR.

Jareth skulks through the castle and out the front gates while listening to their favorite podcast, hair somehow bopping to and fro while also locked into its gravity-defying shape. As he makes his way towards the lillies, a new song idea slams its way into his frontal lobe. It's a riff on another song he sang long ago. He croaks it into existence. Discussed: strange recording arrangements, Persona 4 Golden, the final bosses of Persona, Tokyo Xanadu Ex+, the potential of a sequel, DnD with Brendon, 428: Shibuya Scramble, Code Vein II Demo, dreams of Tomodachi Life, and a handful of Switch gamesVideo essay mentioned about ToseWe encourage those who are able to donate to:Immigrant Law Center of MinnesotaMinnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee"How To Help If You Are Outside Minnesota" from Naomi Kritzer's BlogFind us everywhere: https://intothecast.onlineBuy some merch, if you'd like: https://shop.intothecast.onlineJoin the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/intothecast---Follow Stephen Hilger: https://bsky.app/profile/stephenhilger.bsky.socialFollow Brendon Bigley: https://bsky.app/profile/bb.wavelengths.onlineProduced by AJ Fillari: https://bsky.app/profile/ajfillari.bsky.social---Season 8 cover art by Scout Wilkinson: https://scoutwilkinson.myportfolio.com/Theme song by Will LaPorte: https://ghostdown.online/---Timecodes:(00:00) - Intro (00:19) - Into the recording setups (04:53) - Persona 4 Golden | A well-balanced meal (12:45) - Tokyo Xanadu ex+ | The third pillar of Falcom (40:15) - Break (40:17) - 428: Shibuya Scramble | Video games, but real????

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined yet again by our pal and Hall of Fame trail name holder Marla Davidson, better known as "Fancy Feast".  Fancy Feast is a wealth of knowledge and unfortunate and embarrassing stories. She shares a nasty medical mishap involving poodle dog bush on the PCT, we look back at her time with the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, where she and other "malnourished minors" subsisted on moldy bread and Sriracha, which was presented as a vegetable.  Fancy Feast gives us an overview of her 2024 calendar hikes of the PCT and CDT, her experience navigating the Hayduke Trail with Horsepower (former guest) after he convinced her with a PowerPoint presentation, and the hilarious mismatch in hiking styles from this somewhat random pairing.  She details what it's like being a PNTA crew lead, and the challenges associated in light of funding cuts and crews being reduced to a skeleton staff.  Feast also shares standout stories from her international travels, including a "pig water" disaster in the Andes, her time at the Green Mountain Club with a persistent bear that turned her food box into a rolling pinata, and her hot takes on thru-hiker "main character energy" and entitlement.  We wrap the show with whether we'd rather have three butt cheeks or just one, the triple crown of mild yet particular icks or phobias, and the news of how one Hayduke hiker got caught in quicksand. Yes, really.  LMNT: Get a free sample pack with any order at drinklmnt.com/trek.

Ever feel like you should be further along by now — in your playing, your work, or your life? I feel that way too. In this audio-only episode, I share one simple reminder I come back to whenever progress feels slower than I expected. It's something I see constantly with jazz piano students — and something I have to practice myself just as much. I also share a few important updates about the current structure of Jazz Piano School and why I've simplified everything around one clear path forward. In this episode, I talk about: • Why we consistently underestimate how long meaningful progress takes • How rushing the process often creates more frustration, not better results • What real, sustainable growth actually looks like over time • The mindset shift that helps you stay patient and consistent • Why Proficient Jazz Pianist (PJP) is now the single starting point inside Jazz Piano School This is a reflective episode — less about tactics, more about perspective. If you've been feeling behind, stuck, or discouraged, this one's meant to steady you and help you keep going. Proficient Jazz Pianist (PJP) The complete step-by-step system for building real jazz piano skills — comping, solo piano, and improvisation — without bouncing between random lessons or shortcuts. This is now the only program I sell, and it's the foundation for everything inside Jazz Piano School: http://jazzpianoschool.com/pjp More ways to stay connected: Website: https://jazzpianoschool.com #JazzPiano #MusicPractice #CreativeProcess #FeelingBehind #LongTermGrowth #JazzPianoSchool #ProficientJazzPianist

If we don't call to mind what God has said about himself and about us, we will languish. Never forget that our God is the God of the impossible.
