Podcasts about Reflection

That quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year's can feel strange. We rest. We think. We replay the past year — sometimes with joy, sometimes regret. This message is about reflection — not guilt, not pressure — but honest growth. Because when we don't reflect, we repeat. And the cracks we ignore in our character, stress, or ego often follow us into the next season.If you want to step into the new year more grounded and intentional, this talk will guide you through simple reflection that leads to real change — not more hustle.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner who does not know what to do with ideas that stem from conversations from your team? In this episode of The Guild Live Show, Tyson Mutrux explores the concept of "sparks" — those small moments or ideas that ignite creativity and innovation.Tyson shares how sparks can lead to innovation for a firm. In moments of conversation and sometimes friction, sparks can come up through realization. Maybe someone challenges a belief or some personal irritation is expressed to a group of people. They can be created in a few different ways in a team setting.It is important to know when to execute or abandon sparks. Maybe executing a spark makes sense when you have a strong team dynamic. Maybe you need to plan in order to execute the spark, especially if you or the team don't have the capacity. But, sometimes abandoning the spark is better when you realize it is not a possibility at all for your firm.Listen in to learn more!• 6:49 Reflection on Sparks • 10:08 Creating Conditions for Sparks • 14:03 Hypothesis vs. Commitment for Ideas• 22:41 Capturing and Documenting Sparks • 24:43 Knowing When to Execute or Abandon • 25:37 Value of Pattern Interrupts Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. 

“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. . . . If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5:43–48 NLT) Who was on your Christmas gift list this year? Usually, we give gifts to family and friends. We want to buy gifts for people we love and people we care about. We tend to give gifts to those who treat us well, people who are kind and considerate to us. And often we will give gifts in return for gifts that we have received. Some of us will even buy gifts for our pets. However, we generally don’t buy gifts for our enemies, do we? We don’t give a gift to the person who has slandered us in the past year. We don’t give a gift to the irate neighbor who never has a kind word to say. We don’t give a gift to someone who has tried to run us out of business. Nor do we send a gift to the thief who broke into our car last month. Yet that’s the standard to which the Lord calls us. In Matthew 5:43–48, Jesus said, “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. . . . If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect” (NLT). How can the Lord hold us to such high expectations? “We love each other because he loved us first” (1 John 4:19 NLT). When God sent Jesus Christ, His Son, and gave us the ultimate gift, He gave it to us while we were still His enemies. The Bible tells us, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8 NKJV). We did nothing whatsoever to merit or deserve this gift. In fact, what we really deserve is judgment, because we all have sinned against God. We all have deliberately crossed that line. The amazing truth of Christmas is that, despite our sins, God sent His Son to save us. In that tiny manger in Bethlehem, He gave us a gift that we don’t deserve—but that we can be thankful for every day of our lives. Reflection question: This Christmas season, how can you show love to someone you don’t get along with?

“Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other!” (Luke 12:51 NLT) This may come as a shock to you, but the real Christmas story is not about love, peace, harmony, and gathering with family around a crackling fire. The real Christmas story is about conflict. It always has been, and it always will be. In Luke 12:51, Jesus said, “Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other!” (NLT). One of the most surprising passages in Scripture that deals with the subject of Christmas is Revelation 12. There we find the apostle John’s account of a woman being pursued by a powerful dragon who seeks her death. As she is preparing to give birth to a child, the dragon hovers over her, wanting to destroy the baby. The woman is a picture of Israel, the child is a picture of Jesus Christ, and the dragon is a picture of the devil. That’s Christmas from a heavenly perspective. John’s imagery in Revelation 12 gives us the big picture of what was really happening when God sent His Son into the world. The devil opposed God’s plan and wanted to stop Jesus’ birth. It’s not hard to see how that story is still playing out today, especially at this time of year. The season of giving often turns into a season of giving those who celebrate Christmas a hard time. Hostility toward Christmas seems to escalate a little more every year. More nativity scenes are being removed from public places. Christmas carols are being prohibited in more places. Podcasters and influencers who attack the Christian faith are becoming more and more popular. Many people still object to the use of the word Christmas. All these things are individual battles in the great spiritual conflict of Christmas. We can rejoice in that. Jesus said, “God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way” (Matthew 5:11–12 NLT). Jesus did not come to bring an empty, feel-good peace on earth devoid of truth. Look again at the angel’s message to the shepherds on the night Christ was born. “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased” (Luke 2:14 NLT). The peace that Jesus offers is conditional. It’s hard-earned. It requires sacrifice and purposeful choices on our part. It encourages us to live as He lived, to prioritize God’s will, and to spread His message to others. We will have peace on earth only when we’re pleasing to God.

WARNING: This episode is funny, silly and spontaneous!   SUMMARY In this episode, the hosts engage in a light-hearted discussion about creating a unique holiday for the martial arts community. They explore various themes such as the significance of horse stance, the importance of community celebration, and the fun challenges that could be included in the holiday festivities. The conversation also delves into the role of a mascot, Garyll the Horse, and how it can enhance the holiday experience. Overall, the episode is a creative and humorous take on bringing the martial arts community together through a shared celebration. In this episode, the speakers brainstorm and develop the concept of 'Ambitioning Day,' a martial arts-themed event aimed at fostering community, motivation, and reflection among practitioners. They discuss the importance of planning, naming the event, incorporating fun activities, and establishing traditions that encourage participation and social interaction. The conversation highlights the significance of creating a welcoming atmosphere for both new and returning students, culminating in a unique celebration that emphasizes training and camaraderie.   TAKEAWAYS The martial arts community deserves its own holiday. Horse stance is a key element of the proposed holiday. Celebration can foster community among martial arts practitioners. The holiday can be a social event rather than a training session. Traditions can be flexible and vary by school. Fun challenges can engage participants and create memorable experiences. The mascot, Garyll the Horse, adds a whimsical touch to the holiday. Activities should be enjoyable and accessible to all ages. The holiday can be celebrated at different times by different schools. Creativity and humor are essential in developing the holiday's lore. The event is designed to re-energize New Year's resolutions. Reflection on training can be a powerful component of the event. Creating a fun atmosphere is essential for engagement. Traditions can enhance the experience and foster community. Food plays a significant role in social gatherings. Activities should cater to all skill levels and encourage participation.

“And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made.” (Revelation 13:8 NLT) We celebrate Christmas to rejoice over God’s most precious gift to us. The birth of Jesus Christ is a gift from God that came in simple wrapping, as well as a gift that we don’t deserve. But the gift of Christ also explains God’s purpose for humankind. The gift of Christ was no afterthought. Long before there was a stable in Bethlehem, before Adam and Eve ever set eyes on each other, and even before there existed a garden called Eden, God decided to send His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. From the beginning, God knew humankind would fall short of His glory. That’s why the apostle John wrote, “They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made” (Revelation 13:8 NLT). God decided from the very beginning that Christ would come to this earth to live and die and rise again from the dead. God’s gift to us proves His purpose to redeem us. To fully appreciate that, we must understand what God did for us. He created humankind. He placed us in a literal paradise. He walked with us in the garden. We enjoyed face-to-face fellowship with Him. He gave us responsibilities that fulfilled us and brought us joy. He set one restriction—just one. But that proved to be too much for us. So, we rejected Him and His perfect plan. We destroyed paradise. We drifted far from Him. God sent prophets and judgments to warn us of the penalties for rejecting Him, of the eternal suffering that was to come. He urged us to repent and turn back to Him. Still, we refused. So, He sent His Son to do what we could not. To live a sinless life and destroy the power of sin. To die in our place as the perfect sacrifice. To take the punishment we deserve. To rise from the grave and destroy the power of death. To make eternal life possible. The gift of Jesus Christ is what Christmas is all about. Jesus came near to us so that we could come near to Him. Christmas is not about tinsel or shopping or gifts under a tree. Christmas is about the gift God gave on the tree where Christ died for our sins. Christmas is about the gift of eternal life. That’s what Jesus accomplished. That’s the gift He extends. And if you receive it, you’ll experience the merriest Christmas of all. That’s the message God wants us to carry to the world this Christmas season. Reflection question: How can you show your gratitude to God for the gift of His Son?

Feeling overwhelmed by the juggling act of keeping all the trains running as a mom? You're not alone. But guess what? There's a way to lighten that mental load.   Today on the podcast, Whitney connects with Amelia Pleasant Kennedy, a certified life coach, Fair Play facilitator, professional organizer, and the brains behind A Pleasant Solution. She's all about helping busy women reclaim control over their chaotic lives.   During their conversation, Whitney and Amelia discuss the mental load women often bear in managing their families and households, and the transformative power of decluttering both their physical and mental space. They cover a clutter-free mindset, which involves being intentional about how one's day is spent and making conscious choices about prioritizing tasks.   Amelia also explains what the Fair Play Method is and how to use it to distribute responsibilities and have open conversations about household tasks. It's a powerful system that helps moms prioritize self-care and set boundaries.   By addressing this invisible load many of us hold and engaging in Fair Play at home, we can create a more balanced and fulfilling life that supports us and ripples out to those we love.   Here's what to look forward to in today's episode: What it means to cultivate a clutter-free mindset Understanding the invisible load of mental labor The Fair Play Method: delegation vs. ownership Examples of Fair Play in the home and how to implement it The importance of women prioritizing themselves Reflection question to ponder: What do I want?   Join Back to Bright, a 1:1 personalized, four-week coaching experience where I'll guide you in creating sustainable rhythms of rest, joy, and self-connection.   Learn more about 1:1 coaching with Whitney - book a 15-minute Spark Session   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts | Electric Ideas Podcast   Connect with Amelia: Instagram | Website | Podcast: A Pleasant Solution: Embracing an Organized Life

As we celebrate the holidays and the year comes to a close, I reflect on the journey behind my book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom, and share why the upcoming paperback edition feels especially meaningful. I also open up about what financial freedom looks like beyond hitting a specific number, why flexibility and choice matter more than perfection, and how having a framework not a rigid plan has helped me adjust as life has changed. This episode is both a behind-the-scenes look at the book and a reminder that meaningful progress starts by simply beginning. In this episode, I discuss: Why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom and the gap I wanted it to fill beyond the podcast How my life and mindset have shifted since the hardcover release and why pivots are a natural part of the journey What's new in the paperback edition, including updated numbers, a bonus chapter, and a built-in book club guide Why planning for uncertainty is just as important as planning for growth How financial independence is really about having choices, not just reaching a FIRE number What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it's built around a simple idea I've come to believe deeply: the most important creative tools are free. Most creators assume they're stuck because they don't have the right gear, the right resources, or the right opportunity. But after decades of making work, interviewing hundreds of top creators, and studying the lives of artists across disciplines, I've noticed a different pattern. What actually holds people back isn't a lack of tools — it's a lack of the right conditions. Creativity doesn't break down because you don't have enough. It breaks down because you don't give yourself what the work requires. Here's the core idea: The foundations of great creative work aren't things you buy — they're things you practice. Experience. Space. Reflection. Discipline. Rest. These aren't nice-to-haves. They're the infrastructure that makes creative work possible. And most of them don't cost a thing — but they do require intention. One of the biggest mistakes I see is creators waiting. Waiting for inspiration. Waiting for clarity. Waiting for permission. But creative momentum doesn't come from waiting — it comes from engaging. From living. From making room to think. From showing up on a schedule. From giving yourself a break when the work gets hard. This episode is about stepping back and asking a better question: not "What do I need to buy?" but "What am I not giving myself?" In today's episode I cover: Why creative work depends on conditions, not inspiration The invisible tools behind consistent creative output How to support your creativity without adding more noise If you've been feeling stuck, this isn't a call to do more. It's an invitation to focus on what actually matters — and to remember that the most powerful tools you have have been with you all along. Until next time, give yourself the tools that matter — and give yourself a little grace along the way.  

Pastor Michael shares a story to illustrate the tendency of humans to forget the source of their blessings, similarly to how the Israelites quickly turned to idol worship after being delivered from Egypt.

“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” (Romans 5:8 NLT) When you’re a child, Christmas is all about receiving gifts. In December, your head is swimming with nothing but images of your favorite toys. But the true message of Christmas is not the presents we give to one another. The true meaning is the gift that God gave to us, His Son Jesus Christ. One of the most remarkable aspects of God’s perfect gift to us is that it came in simple wrapping. Some people will go to great lengths to wrap presents beautifully. But God’s gift came to us not in beautiful, ornate wrapping, but in a dirty manger found in a cold cave in a little-known town called Bethlehem. That’s the beauty of the Christmas event. Jesus took His place in a manger so that we might have a home in Heaven. The Savior was not wrapped in satin sheets, but in common rags. There in a manger rested the greatest gift in the plainest of wrapping. Isaiah 53:2–3 says, “My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care” (NLT). The New Testament reveals much about Jesus. But the one thing it doesn’t tell us is what He looked like. Luke 2:52 says, “Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people” (nlt). But that’s about all we know. All indications suggest that Jesus’ appearance was plain and unremarkable. His words and actions, on the other hand, changed the world. An even more remarkable aspect of God’s gift to us is that we don’t deserve it. Consider this: God gave us the ultimate gift of His Son Jesus Christ while we were still sinning against Him. The apostle Paul put it this way: “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (Romans 5:8 NLT). We did nothing whatsoever to merit or deserve His gift. That’s the amazing truth of Christmas. Despite who we are and what we’ve done, God sent His Son so “that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 NKJV). Christmas is one day away. Prepare your heart for the celebration of the birth of our Savior. He came in an unremarkable form. And He came even though we don’t deserve Him. So, today let’s meditate on the fact that Jesus was born to die so that we might live. Reflection question: How can you show God your gratitude for a gift you don’t deserve?

Before you set goals for 2026, there's one POWERFUL thing you can do to make sure you don't repeat the same patterns.  Think about the previous year – the wins, the losses, the career moves, the travel, the adventure – and what it all means. What did you learn in 2025? And what are you bringing into 2026? In this episode, I reveal my annual reflection process, including the life audit questions I ask each December and the methods I use to stay focused while charting my vision for the year ahead. We're talking about vision boards, joining communities, and setting a "word of the year." My word for 2026? Certainty. For me, 2025 was a year of being out in the world, traveling, getting paid to speak, and hosting four events. In 2026, I'm excited to turn inward and hone in on creating. Consider this episode your gentle nudge to pause, get clear, and start dreaming up what you actually want your next chapter to feel like. P.S. Coming up next at Euphoric is Dry January, which will always have a special place in my heart. Join us for Dry Boot Camp starting January 8!   IN THIS EPISODE: How I audit every core area of my life: health, career, money, relationships, fun, spirituality—and pinpoint where I need to go ALL IN next year Why high-achievers tend to feel let down at year's end, and the counterintuitive hack to focus on massive wins instead The power of designating a "word of the year", and how I came up with mine (2026 is "certainty")  Why going after your goals solo often keeps you stuck, and how plugging into the right community or mentorship can make your transformation inevitable   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Dry Boot Camp is an immersive 22-day challenge with a course, live trainings, workbooks, meditations, and a Slack community.

Before entering a new season, it's imperative that you pause and reflect. End-of-year reflection sets the stage for the change you want by really understanding what you've already lived through, what worked, what didn't, and where you're actually starting from. In this episode, I'm breaking down three concrete ways to approach your yearly reflection, whether you're someone who spends days in a notebook like my husband or a one-and-done kind of person like me. Reflection isn't a nice-to-have; it's a strategy that's absolutely the foundation to create change in the new year.

In this Christmas Eve solo episode of The End in Mind, I'm slowing down to reflect on the year behind us — the growth, the challenges, and the quiet evolution that shaped who I'm becoming.This year brought major milestones in my business, deeper clarity around my values, and powerful personal shifts as I step into a new season of life. It also brought difficult moments that reminded me what truly matters — family, presence, and perspective.This episode is an invitation to pause, acknowledge how far you've come, and honor both the wins and the hard moments. Growth doesn't always look loud — sometimes it looks like alignment, peace, and letting go.Thank you for being here, for listening, and for growing alongside me through this podcast.Wishing you a peaceful holiday season, a reflective end to the year, and an expansive new beginning ahead!*Loved this episode?*Take a moment today to reflect — write down what this year taught you, how you've grown, and what you're ready to leave behind.If this episode resonated, share it with someone who's also navigating change, or DM me on Instagram (@meraki_media_management) to tell me what this year meant to you.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMIn this episode, we officially inaugurate an annual Eternal Christendom Christmas tradition with our friend and colleague Dr. Gavin Ashenden: "Christmas with the Church Fathers." Last year, we were privileged to have Gavin's beautiful voice read a profound and moving Christmas sermon by St. Augustine, upon which we reflected.This year, Gavin reads and we reflect upon two powerful sermons by St. Pope Leo the Great: Sermon 19 for Advent (delivered December 14, 452) , and Sermon 21 for Christmas (delivered December 25, 440). This great Saint, Church Father, Doctor of the Church, and Pope reminds us in both of these sermons that the coming of God in the flesh as a baby ought remind Christians of their profound dignity, from which flows their serious duties and high calling.A Happy Advent, and Merry Christmas to all!See 2024's "Christmas with the Church Fathers" reading of St. Augustine: https://youtu.be/r4U3fRLV558?si=AtuAcmSCwl-vPLV5HUGE HOLIDAY GIVING OPPORTUNITYhttps://youtu.be/FbIqyA4z6XY?si=5RlKoJvWmDM77nbjVISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://eternalchristendom.com/BECOME A PATRON OF THE GREAT TRADITIONAs a non-profit, you can support our mission with a tax-deductible gift.

She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’” (Matthew 1:23 NLT) As Christmas approaches, we have the opportunity to carefully consider the wonder of the Incarnation—that mysterious moment when God became a man. Of course, there’s no way for us to fully appreciate the sacrifice involved. But that shouldn’t stop us from trying. Jesus Christ—God the Son—set aside His glory, power, and majesty. He stepped out of eternity and into our temporal world. He submitted Himself to the restrictions, pain, and suffering of physical existence. He took His place on the lowest rungs of the socioeconomic ladder. He was born in a manger. He left the throne of Heaven for a feeding trough. He left the presence of angels to enter a cave filled with animals. He who is larger than the universe became an embryo. He who sustains the world with a word chose to be dependent upon the nourishment of a young virgin. And that’s a key aspect of the Incarnation. Some people have a hard time believing in the Virgin Birth. If you believe the Bible, you need to believe in the Virgin Birth. The Bible teaches that God Almighty was supernaturally conceived in the womb of a virgin. Matthew 1:23 says, “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us’” (NLT). This makes sense if you think about it. If God had chosen to, He could have sent Jesus to earth as a fully grown, yet sinless human being. Jesus could have descended from Heaven in a shaft of light. But if He had come to us in that way, He would have been more like an alien visitor than like one of us. How would it be possible for us to relate to Him as a person, as a part of humanity? God also could have had Jesus come into the world through the natural reproductive process of two ordinary human beings—but still given Jesus a divine nature. But then most of us would have doubted His divinity. That’s why the Incarnation makes sense. The Incarnation is the reason for the Christmas season. Christmas is the opportunity to worship God, to bow down and pay homage to Him for humbling Himself and appearing in human form. The apostle Paul wrote of Jesus, “Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross” (Philippians 2:6–8 NLT). That stands as the true mystery of the Incarnation—and the reason we celebrate Christmas. Reflection question: How does Jesus’ Virgin Birth underscore God’s perfect plan of salvation?
