Podcasts about Receiving

Send me a some feedback!What if the only thing standing between you and the life you truly want is permission? In this episode, Mike Kitko explores one of the most profound realizations from his work with entrepreneurs, leaders, and high performers: the people who transform their lives aren't waiting for better circumstances—they finally give themselves permission to become, do, ask for, receive, and feel what they've wanted all along. Through powerful personal stories and client transformations, Mike explains why permission is the gateway to receiving. Whether it's building a dream business, feeling financially secure, expressing your authentic self, or asking for what you want, lasting change begins the moment you stop waiting for someone else's approval and start giving yourself permission. Key Takeaways1. Permission Is the Beginning of Receiving Receiving doesn't begin with circumstances changing—it begins with a decision. The moment you give yourself permission to want, ask for, receive, and feel what you truly desire, your life begins to change. 2. Most People Are Waiting for Permission They Already Have Whether it's starting a business, changing careers, speaking up, or pursuing a dream, many people remain stuck because they're waiting for someone else to validate what only they can authorize. 3. Your Nervous System Will Resist Growth Growth feels uncomfortable because your nervous system prefers what's familiar. Learning to move through that discomfort is part of becoming more receptive to life. 4. Receiving Includes More Than Money Receiving means allowing yourself to experience confidence, fulfillment, peace, security, significance, love, and every other internal state you've been postponing until "someday." 5. You Become Free the Moment You Stop Waiting You don't need permission from your parents, your boss, your spouse, society, or anyone else. The freedom you've been searching for begins the moment you give yourself permission. Notable Quotes"You don't need permission to be who you want to be, to do what you want to do, to want what you want, to ask for what you want, to receive what you want, or even to feel what you'd rather feel. The only permission you've ever truly needed is your own.""I didn't build Melanie's business. I didn't build Corey's business. I didn't build Matt's business. They did all the work. What I gave them was permission—the permission they wouldn't give themselves—and that became the spark that changed everything.""Receiving starts with one single decision, and that's to give yourself permission to want what you want, ask for what you want, receive what you want, feel what you want, be who you want, and do what you want. It all begins with permission.""Sometimes the greatest act of receiving is giving yourself permission to ask for what you want. I don't need anyone else's permission to invite someone into my work—I only need to give myself permission to be on the receiving end of life.""If you do need permission, then consider this your permission to be who you want, do what you want, want what you want, ask for what you want, receive what you want, and most importantly, feel what you want. Why would you settle for anything less?"Call to ActionIf this episode challenged the way you've thought about permission, spend a few moments reflecting on where you've been waiting for someone else to approve the life you already know you're meant to live. Where have you been withholding permission from yourself? What would change if you simply decided that today was the day you gave it to yourself?If you're ready to stop waiting and finally become fully receptive to the life that's calling you, join Mike for the Built to Give, Rebuilt to Receive Workshop on August 28–29, just outside of St. Louis, Missouri.

Receiving Sight Gradually - Mark 8:22-26 - Pastor Ace Davis

The Holy Spirit #3. This episode emphasizes the distinction between being born again, where the Spirit dwells within the believer like water in a glass, and being baptized in the Holy Spirit, which is described as being completely overwhelmed and surrounded by God's presence -- likened to that glass of water being submerged in a large pitcher. This outpouring at Pentecost is presented as the fulfillment of a "new covenant" [Acts 2:1-4], marking the transition from the bondage of the Law to the freedom of grace and the adoption of believers as actual sons of God through redemption [Galatians 4:3-7]. I share how the same Spirit that moved at Creation and breathed Life into Adam is now available to believers to defeat the "seed of the serpent" and replace spiritual death with resurrected life [ 2 Corinthians 4:6]. Receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit is achieved entirely by faith, much like salvation and physical healing, plus I note that these gifts are often separated only because they are not taught as a single "package". I explain that the Spirit and the Word are inseparable; prophecies found in Joel 2:28 and Isaiah 55:11 demonstrate that God's spoken word is an " incorruptible seed" that must accomplish its purpose of delivering and healing mankind. By receiving this "Spirit of faith" [2 Corinthians 4:13], believers are empowered to become "living epistles," with God's law of Love written upon their hearts rather than on tables of stone, as promised in Jeremiah 31:33 and Ezekiel 36:26. Ultimately, this baptism provides the power to overcome "sense knowledge" -- relying on what one can see or feel -- and instead walk in Spiritual victory and authority of Jesus Christ. Join me as we delve into these Scriptures and more for your edification. Selah!

This meditation was originally taught by Julie Jancius in 2020 as part of the Angel Membership Program. Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancius. Friends, this meditation came through spontaneously — and those are always the ones that go the deepest. Today we are clearing past pain from your physical body, your chakras, and your auric field. All of it. With Archangel Michael, Archangel Raphael, your inner child, your higher self, and your entire angel team surrounding you.

We want your feedback and questions. Text us here.Receiving feedback is one of the most important skills a leader can develop, but it is also one of the most difficult. Even well-intended feedback can make us feel exposed, misunderstood, or defensive. Yet the ability to listen without immediately explaining yourself can reveal blind spots, strengthen relationships, and accelerate your growth. In this episode of The Champion Forum Podcast, Jeff Hancher shares the RECEIVER framework, a practical approach to hearing difficult feedback, separating your behavior from your identity, and finding the lesson inside an uncomfortable conversation.

Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. What if you didn't have to work so hard to receive what's already available to you? This heart-centered meditation helps release resistance, cultivate abundance, and open you to more love, joy, and connection. Let yourself soften into receiving. Love,

Philippians 4:9:"Those things, which ye have both learned, andreceived, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be withyou."   Noticethe little command near the end of the verse: "Do." One simple word.Christianity was never intended to be merely something we know. It is somethingwe live. James reminds us of this in James 1:22, "But be you doers ofthe word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."  Knowledge without obedience only producesdeception. The goal of Bible study is never simply information. It istransformation. Paulreminds the Philippians of four ways they had received God's truth. First, theyhad learned it. That speaks of careful instruction. For several years Paul hadtaught these believers the Word of God. Second, they had received it. Thatmeans they welcomed it and accepted it as God's truth. Hearing truth is onething. Receiving truth is another. Third, they had heard it. Again and againthey listened as Paul preached Christ. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing bythe Word of God. Butthen Paul adds something remarkable. They had seen it in him. Paul wasn'tasking them to imitate a perfect man. He was asking them to follow a faithfulexample. He had already written in chapter 3:17, "Brethren, befollowers together of me." Not because Paul was perfect. In fact, hehad just admitted in chapter 3 that he had not already attained. But he wassincerely following Christ. Someonehas wisely said, "People may doubt what you say, but they usually believewhat you do." Augustine said, “Preach the Gospel, preach the Gospel, andif necessary use words”. Our lives either reinforce our message or contradictit. Paul could boldly say, "You've heard me preach it, and you've watchedme live it."Whata challenge for every Christian. Our children are watching us. Ourgrandchildren are watching us. Our neighbors are watching us. The people wework beside are watching us. Our lives become living sermons every single day. Paulthen gives this simple command: "Do." Put it into practice. Practicewhat you have learned. Practice what you believe. Practice what God has shownyou. Someone once said that the distance between heaven and earth is only abouteighteen inches—the distance from the head to the heart. But I might add thereis another distance—from the heart to the hands and feet. God wants His truthto move from our minds, to our hearts, and finally into our daily lives. TheChristian life is learned one step of obedience at a time. Thennotice the wonderful promise. Paul does not simply say that the peace of Godwill guard you. He now says, "The God of peace shall be with you."Back in verse 7, Paul promised the peace of God. Now he promises thepresence of the God of peace. What could be better than that? When we walk injoyful obedience, we enjoy the fellowship of God's presence in a very real way.The greatest blessing of obedience is not merely answered prayer, or even innerpeace. The greatest blessing is that we experience the nearness of God Himself.Jesus said in John 14:21, "He that has my commandments, and keeps them,he it is that loves me... and I will love him, and will manifest myself tohim." May each of us not merely know God's Word. May we live God'sWord. Asthe old hymn reminds us, "Trust and obey, for there's no other way to behappy in Jesus, but to trust and obey."Let'spray.  Heavenly Father, thank You forgiving us Your precious Word. Help us not to be hearers only, but doers of YourWord. May the truths we learn each day shape the way we live, the way we speak,and the way we love others. Help us to be examples of faithful followers ofChrist so that others will see Jesus in us. Thank You for the wonderful promisethat as we walk in obedience, the God of peace will be with us. May we enjoyYour presence every day of our lives. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus.Amen.

What if the biggest obstacle to greater abundance isn't attracting more—but feeling safe enough to receive it? In this episode of the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, Michel Ai Reavis concludes her three-part neuroscience and money series by exploring the fascinating connection between the nervous system and our ability to receive success, money, opportunities, visibility, and support. Listeners will discover why expansion can sometimes feel unexpectedly uncomfortable, even when it is something they've been praying for and working toward.Drawing on neuroscience and gentle nervous system awareness, Michel explains why the brain naturally prefers what is familiar over what is possible, and how that tendency can influence financial decisions, business growth, pricing, visibility, and the willingness to accept abundance. Rather than viewing hesitation or self-doubt as personal flaws, this episode invites spiritual entrepreneurs to see these experiences through a compassionate, empowering lens.Listeners will leave with practical, supportive ways to gradually expand their capacity to receive, celebrate success without fear, and create greater safety around prosperity, recognition, and joyful growth. If you've ever wondered why success can sometimes feel just as vulnerable as struggle, this encouraging conversation offers both insight and hope for your next season of expansion.Action StepsPractice receiving with intention. The next time someone offers a compliment, support, encouragement, or appreciation, simply say, "Thank you," and allow yourself to fully receive it without minimizing or deflecting it.Celebrate your wins—big and small. Pause to acknowledge each success before rushing to the next goal. Help your nervous system learn that growth, achievement, and abundance are safe.Notice where receiving feels uncomfortable. Pay attention to moments when you hesitate to accept opportunities, charge appropriately, ask for help, or welcome visibility. Approach these moments with curiosity rather than judgment.Ask a new empowering question. Instead of asking, "What if it doesn't work?" gently explore, "What if it does?" Notice what thoughts, emotions, and possibilities begin to emerge.Journaling PromptsWhere in my business or financial life do I already feel safe receiving, and where do I still notice resistance?If success, visibility, and abundance felt completely safe, what opportunities would I be willing to say yes to today?What is one small way I can intentionally practice receiving more support, joy, or prosperity this week?If this episode encouraged you, inspired a new perspective, or helped you better understand your relationship with receiving, consider sharing it with another spiritual entrepreneur who may need this reminder. Together, we can create healthier relationships with money, success, and abundance—one gentle step at a time.Thank you for listening to the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs. Be sure to subscribe so you never miss a future episode, and if this conversation resonated with you, leaving a review is a wonderful way to help more purpose-driven entrepreneurs discover the show. Your willingness to receive may become the very thing that allows your light to reach those who need it most.Contact Michel: michel@moneylighthouse.com

July is not just another month — it is an open door. Mother Mary has a message for you, and it begins with letting go. In this episode of Mother Mary Speaks, I share a channeled transmission for July and August — a season of spiritual energy unlike any other. The anniversary of the first apparition of the Miraculous Medal falls on July 18th, and Mother Mary is calling us to work consciously with this sacred symbol to open ourselves to receive the blessings that are already on their way. In this episode you will discover: The spiritual significance of July and August energy What the Miraculous Medal is, its history, and how to acquire one (see show notes) How to consciously wear the medal so you receive its full spiritual benefit Mother Mary's message: let the first half of the year go — release what hasn't worked, and turn your eyes toward where you are headed How to stay open in your mind, heart, and hearing so that as the blessings come, you are ready to receive them This is your permission slip to stop carrying the weight of the past six months. The second half of the year is yours!   Key Learnings: 1)    July and August bring abundant blessings this year. It all begins with the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel on the 16th and the anniversary of the first Apparition of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. The month continues with the feast days of St. Mary Magdalene and St. Anne, and then the Lions Gate Portal opens for two and a half weeks and spiritual energy pours onto the planet. This auspicious time ends with an ECLIPSE on the 12th, which sets you up for a powerful Assumption experience! 2)    Where to begin? Start by getting and wearing a Miraculous Medal! A Miraculous Medal is not a 'lucky charm' but rather it is a portal that connects you directly to the heart of the Divine Mother! By entering Her energy field, you are automatically attuning yourself to the field of miracles. 3)    Her message: "let go of the past, specifically the first half of the year, and keep your eyes and mind focused on the future. Keep your heart, mind and ears open to receive the blessings, opportunities and synchronicities that are already here for you."   "By consciously wearing a Miraculous Medal, you become attuned to the field of miracles."

Most of us have been told, at some point or another, to just be happy. Just let it go. Just choose joy. And if you've tried that and found it completely unhelpful, you are in very good company. Dr. Peggy DeLong is back on the podcast for her third visit, and what she shares in this episode about how to increase your capacity for happiness is not what most people are teaching. It's not about ignoring what's hard. It's not about thinking positively until the feeling kicks in. And it has nothing to do with luck or your current circumstances. Peggy discovered the power of gratitude while sitting by her fiancé's side as he was dying from an aggressive cancer. She was 26. She didn't push the grief away. She felt it — and that turned out to be the beginning of everything she now teaches. If you've ever been told to just cheer up and wanted to throw something, this one is for you.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why pushing emotional pain aside actually makes it harder to access real happiness — and what to do instead How your capacity for joy is in direct proportion to your capacity to feel pain What collective effervescence is and why it matters more than we think How human connection with complete strangers predicts happiness just as much as our closest relationships What the three Ps — present, pleasure, and purpose — have to do with breaking the high-achieving cycle Peggy's four Ps for building positive mental health: prioritize, plan, practice, prosper   DR.

What does it take to faithfully follow the call of God through every season of ministry?-----------For extended show notes - https://hacka.org/2026/07/16/229-ryan-neer-the-ministry-mindset-every-leader-needs/-----------In this episode, we are joined by Ryan Neer, Lead Pastor of Gateway Pentecostal Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Ryan shares his remarkable testimony—from addiction, brokenness and losing his father at a young age to becoming an evangelist and now pastor. But this conversation goes far beyond his story.We discuss why "mantles fall on moving targets," how to discern when God is saying "go" and when He's saying "stop," why a "no" from God may simply be an underdeveloped "now," and how God often develops His greatest leaders through seasons of weakness rather than strength.If you're pursuing God's calling, wrestling with unanswered prayers, or trying to understand the season you're in, this conversation will encourage, challenge and equip you to trust God's process.In this episode:- Ryan Neer's powerful testimony of salvation and transformation- Why mantles fall on moving targets- How to know when God is changing your season- Why God's "no" isn't always permanent- Receiving correction without becoming discouraged- Developing your gifting with humility- Understanding the fivefold ministry- Why God chooses weakness over self-confidence- Finding purpose in life's limitations- Letting patience prepare you for God's "suddenly"

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Lukis Mac and Hella Omega explore the psychology of abundance as a lived mindset that influences every area of life—from money, safety, creativity, energy, relationships, habits, and opportunities to the way we think, feel, and create our reality.Drawing from their 20-year relationship and seasons of both struggle and success, they share why curiosity, vision, resourcefulness, and taking action with what you have are more powerful than waiting for the “perfect” moment.They unpack how scarcity activates the nervous system into survival (fight, flight, freeze, and fawn), leading to contraction, fear, holding on, and stagnation, while abundance creates greater flow through trust, giving, receiving, and aligning with the natural seasons of life.Throughout the conversation, they share pivotal personal stories—including spending their last $120 on festival tickets in Bali that unexpectedly led to life-changing connections and an invitation to Los Angeles, as well as a childhood manifestation experience that shaped their understanding of intention and possibility.This episode also explores self-worth, receiving, overcoming subconscious blocks, making decisive choices, investing in yourself and your environment, treating effort as devotion, and learning to embody the feelings of your future while surrendering the need to control exactly how it unfolds.00:00 – Psychology of Abundance00:50 – Welcome and Intentions02:00 – Abundance Through Life Seasons03:52 – From Broke to Vision06:15 – Curiosity Creates Possibility08:40 – Thrifting and Manifestation12:18 – Resourcefulness and Starting Now15:49 – Scarcity and the Nervous System20:29 – Nature's Seasons and Money Cycles23:29 – Receiving, Self-Worth and Overgiving27:19 – Rewrite Your Story and Choose Again28:17 – The Bali Story Begins28:48 – Betting the Last $12030:42 – Festival Miracle Vouchers31:18 – How Breathwork Opened the Door to Los Angeles34:50 – The Fork in the Road36:03 – The Ice Cream Manifestation Story38:13 – Dream First, Figure Out the How Later39:35 – Why Wealthy People Invest in Their Environment41:51 – Buy Nice or Buy Twice44:38 – Surrender and Embody Your Future Now50:10 – Effort as an Abundance Practice53:50 – Effort Is Love.

Receiving an autoimmune diagnosis can feel overwhelming—but it doesn't have to define your future.In this heartfelt message, rheumatologist Dr. Isabelle Amigues shares why she believes hope is an essential part of medical care. She explains how modern rheumatology has transformed, why remission is the goal, and why patients should never settle for simply "getting by."In this video, you'll learn:✔️ Why remission, not just symptom control, is the goal✔️ Why there are more treatment options than ever before✔️ What to do if your current medication isn't working✔️ Why hope is grounded in science, not wishful thinking✔️ The importance of advocating for yourself and communicating with your rheumatologist✔️ How visualization and mindset can support your healing journey alongside evidence-based medicineWhether you're living with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or another autoimmune disease, this conversation is a reminder that today's treatments offer possibilities that didn't exist years ago.Your diagnosis is part of your story, but it doesn't have to be the ending.

Over the past weeks, we've explored the six core human needs and the shadows they create when they unconsciously drive our lives and leadership.We began with the need for certainty, which often becomes the need for control. We explored the need for variety and how it can create instability. We looked at significance, our desire to be seen and recognized, and at love and connection, where over-giving and people-pleasing often emerge. Finally, we reflected on the need for growth and how the pursuit of constant evolution can become exhausting when it never allows space for integration.Today, I want to close this series with the sixth and final need:The need for contribution.In many ways, I see this as the most mature of the six human needs.But it is also the easiest one to confuse with the others.What Is the Need for Contribution?The need for contribution is the desire to create meaningful impact beyond yourself.It is the desire to give back.To leave something better than you found it.To use your skills, experience, and life for something larger than your own success.Many people describe contribution as the highest expression of purpose.Yet there is an important question we rarely ask ourselves:From which place are we contributing?Because contribution can easily become another disguise for an unmet human need.Are you contributing because you need recognition?Then perhaps significance is still driving your actions.Are you contributing because helping others allows you to belong?Perhaps the need for love and connection is underneath.Are you contributing because it helps you learn and evolve?Perhaps growth is still leading the way.Contribution itself is not enough.The intention behind it matters.When Giving Is Another Way of ReceivingOne of the biggest lessons I've learned is that many of us give because, unconsciously, we hope to receive something in return.Recognition.Validation.Love.Belonging.Security.There is nothing wrong with these needs, they are deeply human.The invitation is simply to become aware of them.Healthy contribution begins when the act of giving is complete in itself.When giving is already fulfilling.When nothing needs to come back for the contribution to have meaning.That, for me, is where contribution becomes truly free.The Shadow of ContributionLike every human need, contribution also has its shadow.One of the most common expressions I see—particularly in women leaders—is over-giving.Helping everyone.Always being available.Giving expertise away for free.Putting others first.Feeling guilty for receiving.The intention is beautiful.But over time, it becomes unsustainable.Because contribution without receiving eventually creates depletion.Everything in nature exists in relationship.Breathing in. Breathing out.Giving. Receiving.Neither can exist without the other.One question worth reflecting on is:How comfortable are you receiving?Can you receive money without guilt?Can you receive appreciation without minimizing it? Say ‘Thank you'.Can you receive support without feeling indebted?Many people who love to contribute discover that receiving is actually much harder than giving.And yet both are necessary.My Own ShiftWhen I look back on my own career, I can clearly see how this need evolved over time.For many years, I worked in the gaming industry.I loved the creativity.I loved the innovation.I loved building teams and creating products that reached millions of people.I also received a great deal in return.Meaningful work.Recognition.Financial security.Growth.But eventually, a deeper question emerged.What am I contributing to?The games we created generated engagement, screen time, and significant revenue.From a business perspective, they were successful.But I also knew who some of our players were.I knew stories of people spending thousands of euros in games.People whose behavior resembled addiction more than entertainment.And I had to ask myself:Is this the impact I want to have?That question changed everything.It wasn't a judgment of the industry.It was an honest reflection on my own values.I realized that my deepest need was no longer growth.Or recognition.Or achievement.It had become contribution.That realization eventually led me toward coaching.Toward conscious leadership.Toward creating spaces where leaders examine not only what they build, but the impact they create on the people around them.When Contribution Becomes a Different QuestionAt some point in life, many people reach a quiet transition.They've achieved.They've grown.They've accumulated experience.And the question changes.Instead of asking:“How can I become more successful?”They begin asking:“What do I want to leave behind?”Contribution is no longer about building something bigger.It becomes about building something meaningful.For me, that has become the work.Helping leaders move from fear to love.From leading through control, ego, and survival...To leading from awareness, integrity, and the heart.That doesn't happen through strategy alone.It requires inner work.Because the quality of what we contribute will always reflect the quality of the place we are contributing from.Looking Back at the Six Human NeedsAs we close this series, I invite you to reflect on all six human needs.* Where do you seek certainty and control?* Where do you constantly chase novelty?* Where do you need recognition?* Where do you sacrifice yourself to maintain connection?* Where do you push yourself to keep growing?* And finally…How do all of these needs shape the way you contribute to the world?Every need is valid.Every need has a shadow.The goal is never to eliminate these needs.The goal is to become aware of them.Because awareness is where freedom begins.Reflection QuestionsTake some time to journal with these questions:* Which of the six human needs drives most of your decisions today?* When you contribute, what are you hoping to receive in return?* How comfortable are you with receiving?* What impact are you truly creating through your work?* If recognition, money, and status disappeared, would you still choose the same path?Closing ReflectionFor me, contribution is not about saving the world.It is about bringing more consciousness into it.Helping people move from fear to love.From unconscious patterns to awareness.From reacting to choosing.If this series has taught us anything, it is that our shadows are not something to eliminate.They are invitations.Invitations to understand ourselves more deeply.Because once we understand what has been driving us, we finally become free to choose a different way of leading, living, and contributing.And perhaps that is the greatest contribution any of us can make.Thanks for reading Rise and Play!

Continuing our series on John Murray's Redemption Accomplished and Applied, Nate Shannon is joined by Harrison Perkins to discuss Murray's treatment of faith and repentance. Together they explore the nature of saving faith, the free offer of the gospel, and the lifelong call to repentance that flows from union with Christ. Along the way, they reflect on why true faith looks away from itself to Christ and why genuine repentance is not a burden, but a gift of grace.

Alison Armstrong, founder of PAX Programs and author of The Queen's Code, believes true partnership begins when we understand how spiritual nature and survival instincts shape men and women differently.In this episode, Alison reveals how a simple dictionary definition became a portal into a man's mind—and how misreading a word like “busy” can turn connection into conflict.She shares how she discovered she was unknowingly bringing out the worst in men, why men's single-focus and women's peripheral awareness create opposite realities, and how the “Great Trick” of receiving can transform relationships. We also explore her mystical writing process, the stages of male development, masculine and feminine power, and why self-love begins with admiration, respect, and affinity.Will you keep interpreting your partner through your own lens—or finally see them as they truly are?___

There is power in asking. Think about it in the business world. Selling is asking, isn't it? I remember when training for sales with IBM I was taught to ask for the order and not to be shy about it. To ask again and again. And I was carefully taught how to ask. So, there's no doubt that there is power in asking. So, why are we often shy and reticent to ask for something? Well, for one reason, asking for something is humbling, isn't it? It's admitting a need and acknowledging that you don't have total control in some area. You need something that you don't have and you have to admit it. Also, asking sets you up for rejection. The answer could be “No.” Recently I was in a position of asking for something really significant; it wasn't for myself but for an important project at my church. I knew who to ask, but for weeks I procrastinated about asking because I didn't want to get a negative response. When finally I asked, the reception I received was far more favorable and pleasant than I had imagined. But regardless of the response to my request, as long as I didn't ask there was no way I was going to get it! There was a lot of pride in my attitude toward asking. If the answer was no, I would have to tell everyone involved and I might look foolish. Or I might lose their confidence in me. So, instead of asking, I wasted time worrying about how I would look to others if the answer was no. Not only foolish of me, but prideful as well. In the book of James we read, “You do not have because you do not ask God” (James 4:2b). I wonder how many blessings we've missed for ourselves and others because we simply have not asked God. Please understand, I'm not talking about asking for frivolous things or for selfish reasons. But as Christ-followers we have a Heavenly Father who invites us to ask him for what we truly need, for blessings for ourselves and others. He expects us, as his children, to ask him for help, and yet how often we do not have what he would give us because we do not ask. A few years ago, I was stuck in an airport for two days because of weather-related cancellations, trying to get home, trying to locate my luggage, standing in long lines and hoping to get on a flight soon. As I was standing in one long line with probably fifty other people, a woman who looked like she had some authority walked by, and I just nicely stopped her and asked her a question. She said, “Come to my office,” so I followed her and for about an hour she made phone calls and arrangements, and I walked out of there with a free hotel for the night and a seat on a flight the next day. I asked and got special treatment, not because I deserved it any more than the others in that line, but because I asked. As I said earlier, studies show that women are far more reluctant to ask things for themselves than men are. For example, men are more likely to ask for a raise than women are, and when they do ask, women ask for much less than men do. Women will freely ask for the benefit of others but are reluctant to ask something for themselves. Notice how freely children ask for things. They don't hesitate to ask Mom or Dad for whatever it is they want at the moment. And they keep asking until often we parents give in just because they keep asking. Jesus told a parable about a widow who kept asking an uncaring and unkind judge for justice against her adversary. Finally the judge decides to grant her request, not because he wanted to do the right thing, but because she kept bothering him. Jesus said, “And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly” (Luke 18:7-8a). In other words, we have a kind and loving God to ask, not a wicked judge, and yet often we give up asking him to meet our needs. Jesus taught us to keep on asking; don't quit. What have you given up on asking for? Jesus taught us to be persistent in asking. In all areas of our lives we have to ask for things if we're ever going to get what we need, succeed at our jobs, complete our tasks. . . whatever! But of course we don't always get what we ask for, do we? What are some of the reasons that we don't get what we ask for? In James 4 we are told: When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures (James 4:3). Motives—what are our motives for asking? Receiving what we ask for depends largely on why we are asking for it. So, we have to examine our motives. Asking God—or anyone else, for that matter—for frivolous things, unnecessary things that are simply for our own selfish desires, just doesn't motivate God or people to want to grant our requests. I remember a woman asking me to pray that God would send her a husband. Well, in itself that's not a bad request, but her whole motivation was selfish: I want a husband to take care of me. I don't like being single. God owes me a husband. That was her attitude, and it wouldn't impress God or anyone else, I don't think. Secondly, we sometimes don't get what we ask for because we don't know how to ask. For example, be specific in what you ask for. If you need some money for a very good reason, not because you've been a poor steward of your money, you should be clear about why you need the money, how it will be used, and how much you really need. If you're asking someone to donate money to a good cause, be prepared to give a good explanation of how the money will be used and the good it will do. When you're asking for a change in circumstances, like a better work environment, instead of asking that the boss make the situation better for you, ask for the change because it will benefit the company or organization. Put yourself in the other person's shoes and ask yourself what would motivate that person to want to grant your request. Maybe you're job hunting right now, or looking for a raise or a promotion. If so, you really need to know how to ask, because the way you ask will in large part determine your success. And the way you ask will be controlled by the questions you ask yourself. For example, do you ask yourself, “What's wrong with me? Why am I not able to find a job?” Those kind of questions will simply discourage you. You're telling yourself negatives that affect the way you behave. Are you thinking: I'm too old, or I'm overqualified, or I'm just not aggressive enough? That kind of thinking just provides you with an excuse for why you're not getting the answers you want. Instead, ask What can I do to make a better impression on an interview? Or, How can I show that my age is an asset and not a liability? Now you're asking yourself questions that can lead to positive results. These are constructive questions, not destructive ones. If you want to ask better questions, begin by examining the questions you are asking yourself. And be ready to change the way you've been thinking. Once again I'm reminded that everything begins in our thought lives. If you think wrong, you ask wrong. If you think according to Philippians 4:8—thoughts that are true, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy—that kind of thinking will lead you to positive, constructive questions. And that certainly includes the questions you ask yourself! I find that I must be intentional about choosing good questions to ask myself—questions that will help me rather than discourage me. I have to bring those questions—those thoughts—into captivity and make them obedient to Christ, as we read in 2 Corinthians 10:5. So, today think about the questions you ask yourself. Are they constructive or destructive? Asking right questions begins with right thinking. Ask and keep on asking. That is a principle that we see in scripture. We are to be askers—and persistent askers, at that. Have you learned the power of asking? We have to ask with right motives, we have to be specific when we ask, and we can't give up easily. That is true if we're asking something from God or from our boss—or anyone else for that matter. There's an important biblical teaching when it comes to asking God for something. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him (1 John 5:14-15). The Apostle John gives us a really startling principle—one that almost seems too good to be true. Whatever we ask, we have! Is that what he said? Yes, that's what he said, but there's a qualifier—if we ask according to his will. So, that means our motive has to be for the glory of God, not just for our pleasure. And it also means that we need to know what God's will is so that we can ask in accordance with it. You can't short-change God's Word in your life, because knowing God's will in any particular situation is a function of knowing the Word better and better. God reveals his will through his Word and through his Spirit, who usually reveals his will to us through the Word of God. So, how much time do you spend in God's Word? Romans 12:1 and 2 says that we can know what God's good, pleasing and perfect will is by offering ourselves as living sacrifices and being transformed by the renewing of our minds. That transformation happens more and more as we immerse our life in the truth of God's Word. Do you see the progression here? We need to know God's will in order to ask appropriately and therefore get what we ask for. In order to know God's will, we must know God's Word and be sensitive to the Spirit of God who resides within us, as Christ-followers. Then, as we are more and more confident of what God's will is, the requests we make to God are more and more in line with his will and he will hear and answer. I want to learn the power of asking God for great things that bring him glory and see the great and mighty things he wants to do. Will you join with me in asking God to teach us the power of asking?

“Joseph’s story is a profound masterclass in patience, faith, and trusting in God’s timing, even when the immediate circumstances don’t make sense to the outside world.” In this powerful episode, Richie T sits down with Joseph Freeman Jr., a historic figure in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Following the June 1978 revelation announcing that all worthy male members could receive the priesthood regardless of race or color, Brother Freeman became the first man of black African descent to be ordained an elder in the Melchizedek priesthood. He shares his incredible life journey, his conversion story, and what it was like to live through a monumental moment in Latter-day Saint history. Episode Timeline & Chapters Early Life and Family An introduction to Joseph’s upbringing, his family roots, and the foundation of his faith prior to discovering the restoration. The 1978 Revelation & Receiving the Priesthood Joseph recounts his personal, firsthand experience when the 1978 priesthood revelation was announced, and what it felt like to be ordained shortly thereafter. Conversion, the Army, and Finding Love How his path crossed with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while serving in the military, meeting his wife, his decision to be baptized, and the opposition he faced from loved ones. Joining the Church Under the Restriction Joseph deeply reflects on his mindset when he originally chose to join the Church, knowing at the time that he would not be able to hold the priesthood or enter the temple. Reading the Book of Mormon The spiritual impact of reading the Book of Mormon for the first time and how it solidified his testimony. Baptism and Early Church Experiences What it was like navigating his early days as a Black member of the Church in the 1970s prior to the revelation. Temple Sealing by Thomas S. Monson The beautiful experience of being sealed to his family in the temple by then-Apostle (and future Church President) Thomas S. Monson. In the Lord’s Due Time A brief look into Joseph Freeman’s published book documenting his life, faith, and historic ordination. The Cultural Hall Ending Questions Richie puts Joseph through the traditional final questions asked of every guest in the Hall. The post Joseph Freeman Jr. – Episode 417 – The Granted Vault appeared first on The Cultural Hall Podcast.

The Catechism goes over the prerequisites to receiving Jesus in the Eucharist, as well as how often the faithful can and should receive him. Fr. Mike ensures that we understand the gravity of our obligation to go to the sacrament of Reconciliation before receiving Communion. As St. Paul said, “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1384-1390. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Why does accepting love, support, kindness, or even a compliment sometimes feel more uncomfortable than giving it away? In this episode, we explore why so many women have learned to be caregivers, achievers, and providers but struggle to simply receive. Whether it's rooted in past wounds, fear of vulnerability, perfectionism, or the belief that love must be earned, constantly pouring out without allowing yourself to be filled can leave you exhausted and disconnected. We'll talk about the barriers that keep us from receiving love, how those patterns shape our relationships, and what it looks like to open our hearts to genuine care without guilt or striving. You'll discover that receiving isn't selfish or weakit. It is an essential part of living from a place of wholeness. If you've ever found yourself saying, "I'm fine," while secretly longing for someone to show up for you, this conversation is an invitation to loosen your grip, lower your defenses, and make room for the love you've been carrying all along. Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do isn't giving more. It's letting love in.

John Hardie. Hardie observes a more supportive U.S. stance toward Ukraine's long-range strikes. He suggests Putin is isolated, receiving flawed military reports from his generals, and continues to delay mobilization decisions despite a strategic stalemate. (9)1896
