How Does Kathleen Norris Show Disability Shaping Love, Lament, and Christian Faith? Bestselling writer Kathleen Norris joins host Curtis Chang on the Good Faith Podcast to talk about her new book, Rebecca Sue: A Sister's Reflections on Disability, Faith and Love. They share the story of Kathleen's disabled sister, Rebecca, and how her journey through perinatal hypoxia, bipolar disorder, anger, and finally gratitude reshaped their family's faith. This episode offers honest wisdom on caregiving, grief, and aging parents and siblings, plus ideas for making sense of a loved one's disability through letters and reflection. Curtis and Kathleen also explore how churches can better include people with disabilities who are "hidden in plain sight," and why love, lament, and telling the truth about our flaws are central to a life of faith.

Simply Convivial: Organization & Mindset for Home & Homeschool
Join us: https://simplyconvivial.com/ready5 -- Most moms jump into planning by asking, “What should I do next?”But faithful planning starts with a different question: “What actually happened this year?”When you skip reflection, you end up repeating overwhelm—not learning from it. Reflection is not just “looking back.” It's paying attention to what God has been doing in your home, heart, and habits—so your new plans aren't built on frustration, but on wisdom.In this episode, we'll walk through:✔ Why reflection is the key to meaningful planning✔ How God uses remembrance to shape our priorities✔ A simple 3-question reflection habit you can start right now✔ Why skipping reflection keeps you stuck in the same cycle year after year
“Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?” (Amos 3:3 NLT) God is holy, which means not only that He is sinless and perfect, but also that He is distinct and set apart from all other beings. His holiness dictates our relationship with Him. He will not bend His rules or change His character to get closer to us. He demands that we pursue holiness so that we can get closer to Him. And for that, we can praise Him. Because the pursuit of holiness is what brings genuine joy and fulfillment to our lives. When we lose sight of that pursuit, things tend to go awry. I had a German shepherd that was a former guide dog for the blind. Because he had slight hip dysplasia, he was put up for adoption. When we got him, he was perfectly trained. We could take him anywhere. He was happy to sit next to us. Another dog would walk by, and he couldn’t have cared less. Then I got ahold of him. I would unleash him and let him run around in the park. Day by day his behavior started getting worse. The next thing you know, he was lunging at dogs and taking off after cats and rabbits and squirrels. I called the people we got him from and asked what went wrong. They told me I couldn’t let him do all that “dog stuff.” I couldn’t let him stop and sniff where he wanted to sniff. I couldn’t let him chase rabbits. They gave me a little muzzle-like device to put on him. Gaining control of his muzzle meant that he would obey because it would hurt to pull away. When I finally took the device off him, he was in sync with me again. My dog’s actions were reminiscent of our behavior with our holy God. If we see an opportunity to run around, go crazy, and do what we want to do, we often take it. We chase sin and selfish pleasure. The Lord has to pull us back in line because He wants us to walk with Him. To walk with our holy God means that we must get into harmony with Him. We must go the direction that He wants us to go. As the prophet Amos asked, “Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?” (Amos 3:3 NLT). The apostle Peter made clear how that agreement is reached: “But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy” (1 Peter 1:15 NLT). We can be thankful that God is holy—that He is set apart from everything that is imperfect, tenuous, and unreliable. Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” (NIV). God’s holiness never wavers. His promises can always be trusted. Are you walking with God today? Are you pursuing holiness? Or are you pulling against Him, trying to do things your own way? If so, then it’s time to stop, ask God’s forgiveness, and get in sync with Him once again. Reflection question: What does pursuing holiness look like in your life?

Do you ever feel like your perfectionism is something you need to fix? What if the truth is the opposite—that your perfectionism holds real power? In this episode, Whitney talks with Katherine Morgan Schafler, psychotherapist and author of The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control: A Path to Peace and Power. Katherine challenges the cultural narrative that perfectionism is a flaw and instead shows how, when understood and channeled well, it can be a meaningful strength. Katherine explains the difference between adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism, how perfectionism shows up differently for women, and why many of us feel caught between our ambition and the pressure to soften it. She also outlines the five types of perfectionists so listeners can recognize their own patterns, strengths and red flags. Listen in to rethink what perfectionism really is—and learn how to work with your drive instead of against it. Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: Redefining perfectionism in modern discourse Why women are watering down their perfectionist tendencies when men are unconcerned The 5 different types of perfectionists Aligning your actions to your core values Reflection questions to ponder: What do I want for you?

In this week's episode of The Soul Star Podcast, we dive deep into the world of receiving signs from Spirit—and what really happens when we aren't ready to follow through.We talk about the quiet nudges, the repeating patterns, and the messages that land in your field long before you feel prepared to act on them. What do they mean? Why do we sometimes ignore them? And how can we honour where we are even when the guidance feels strong?✨ Topics We ExploreReceiving signs from Spirit: how intuitive messages show up and why they often arrive before we feel “ready.”The resistance response: how fear blocks action, even when the guidance is clear.Honouring your current state: the importance of respecting your timeline, capacity, and emotional readiness.Reflection as a tool: why pausing to understand the lesson is just as valuable as taking action.When signs get louder: how repeated or intensified signs represent a portal of opportunity—one that will return if you're not prepared to walk through it yet.Personal experiences: we share our own stories of ignoring signs, resisting signs, and eventually learning from them.
Righteous Fury: Zeal for Justice and Life Scripture teaches about “zeal” and “just fury”—a righteous anger rooted in love and justice. Christians are called to cultivate this same holy passion against injustice, especially the evil of abortion. This episode explores how righteous anger motivates action without falling into bitterness or sin.
When was the last time you actually sat down and reflected on where you're at?Not the "I'll think about it while I'm rushing through my to-do list" kind of reflection. I'm talking about actually sitting with yourself, asking the hard questions, and getting real about what's working, what's not, and where you're actually going.Today's episode is different. This is a full reflection exercise that I'm walking you through, both personally and professionally. I'm asking you the same questions I ask myself and my clients, and I'm sharing my own raw answers as we go.We're covering what made you proud this year (even if nobody noticed), where you drained yourself, what boundaries you slipped on, what surprised you about your growth, where you self-sabotaged, and what you actually want for next year. I'm also getting honest about where I overextended, under-resourced myself, and tried to pretend I wasn't human this year.Grab a journal or your notes app. You can listen and reflect as you go, or come back to this one quarterly. Either way, this is the clarity work that actually creates direction.00:46 Introduction06:03 Personal Reflection Questions14:10 Professional Reflection Questions20:49 Wins and Wake-Up Calls32:01 Facing Fears and Taking Risks33:39 Overextending and Setting Boundaries39:24 Personal Goals and Daily Life42:13 Becoming Your Future Self45:35 Sustaining Growth Without Burnout51:11 Long-Term Vision and Focus58:54 Reflection and DirectionTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

If you're looking to spend a few minutes alone with God, let this guided reflection help ease you into the presence of the Lord.
“And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.” (Revelation 5:8 NLT) God is omniscient, which means He knows all things. Nothing can surprise Him. There is no unexpected occurrence with Him. That’s important to keep in mind, especially when we pray. In fact, a great way to begin any prayer is to give praise and thanks to God for His omniscience. Celebrating the fact that He knows everything puts us in the proper frame of mind to bring our requests to Him. Otherwise, we may start to doubt when our prayer requests seem to go unanswered. The reality is that God answers every prayer—in His way, for His glory, in His time. Revelation 5:8 gives us an interesting detail about Heaven: “And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people” (NLT). When we’re in Heaven, standing before God’s throne, and those golden bowls, full of prayers, are brought before us, we’ll realize that God heard every little prayer that we prayed. And I think we also will understand that His answer to each one was far better than what we asked for in the moment. We will realize that God overruled something we asked for because it wasn’t the best prayer. What we don’t realize today is that this hardship, or this tragedy, or this inexplicable event will ultimately lead to a chain reaction of events that touches the lives of so many others and changes the course of the future in ways we could never imagine. It is a butterfly effect that leads to glorify God’s plan for us. When we pray, we can see only one part of that chain reaction—the one that immediately affects us. We need to trust God to accomplish the bigger picture. We need to accept that the thing we want to go away, or the circumstance that looms so large in our life, is there to give God glory. We may not be able to see how, so we must trust the Lord, knowing that it all will be revealed in Heaven when we stand before Him. Some prayers are answered right away. And we can be thankful for that. On the other hand, some prayers are answered long after they’re prayed. And we can thank God for that, too. Because He knows everything. He sees every possible contingency. He sees every possible outcome. He knows precisely when to act in order to bring about ultimate good. His timing is always perfect. So, instead of praying for God to work according to our imperfect understanding of things, according to our imperfect timetable, we can leave our requests with Him and trust Him to answer them in His perfect knowledge and in His perfect time.

Send us a text"Reflection Brings Refreshing for The Journey!"Today, I found encouragement in time spent reflecting on my journey. I want to share an exciting insight. Explore how intentional reflection—ten minutes with a notebook, a planner, and honest questions like 'What am I grateful for today?' or 'What did I learn from this experience?'—can turn scattered memories into a time of refreshing and confidence for your next season. Instead of being overloaded with more input, I took time to walk through a year-in-review that highlights key moments, timely people, and the subtle ways guidance showed up right when we needed it.I am sharing how flipping back through your days reveals more than nostalgia. It shows cause-and-effect: a nudge you obeyed becomes a door that opens months later; a risk you take before you know how attracts the right partners at the right time. Gratitude is not just a feel-good emotion. It's a powerful tool that can calm your mind, lift your mood, and restore your energy, enabling bold yet wise action.We also address hard seasons without glossing over pain. Reflection integrates loss by seeing the care that carried you, the strength that emerged, and the lessons that now shape your choices. By sharing your journey and the practical steps that have refreshed you, you're not just growing yourself; you're helping others do the same. You're also inspiring and supporting those around you, from your family to your circle and the people you serve.Many of us want trade noise for clarity and anxiety for expectancy.Try the reflection exercise, notice the benefits, and tell us what surprised you most. Share the encouragement with a friend who needs encouragement.Encouragement given is encouragement multiplied!Tonyhttps://www.seldicompany.com/
✨ Episode Summary:In this heartwarming holiday episode, Cheri pops out of her retreat-mode to drop a cozy, candid Thanksgiving chat straight from her pink treehouse.

With stories of chapstick, cranky teens, and making lunches with love, Cheri invites us to stop overthinking gratitude and start living it. This episode ends with a beautiful, breath-centered guided meditation on love and thankfulness.

Culture has changed. Technology has changed. Work has changed. Politics have changed. The environment has changed. You think these changes could have been prevented. Yet what you're forgetting is that this is how it's always been.
The most toxic environment you live in isn't your city, your home, or your workplace, but it could most certainly be in your mind. Peter Crone, “The Mind Architect,” reveals how the internal narratives formed in childhood become invisible prisons that could sabotage your health, relationships, and success decades later. In this episode, you'll discover why “being right is the poor man's version of self-worth,” and how your subconscious programming creates the exact outcomes you fear most.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Figures like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, who once played important roles in pushing back against left-wing insanity, have drifted into something else that I believe is driven more by the pursuit of fame than the pursuit of truth.

“Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans.” (Psalm 119:91 NLT) In our next set of devotions, we’re going to look at God’s perfections. Our goal is not only to get to know Him better but also to prepare our hearts for Thanksgiving. The more we understand about who God is, the more our gratitude will grow. We’re going to start by looking at God’s sovereignty. The fact that God is sovereign means that He has the power and authority to do anything He chooses with His creation. He answers to no one. Luke’s Gospel tells the story of ten men with leprosy who needed Jesus’ touch. Leprosy was an incurable disease. Without Jesus’ intervention, the men had no hope. They asked Jesus for healing, and He extended it to them. But out of the ten, only one returned to give Him thanks. We read, “One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, ‘Praise God!’ He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan” (Luke 17:15–16 NLT). Earlier, he had prayed loudly for a healing, and then he was loud with his praise. I love the fact that the original language uses two words from which we get our English word megaphone. The man was loud in thanking Jesus for what He had done for him. As Christians, we should give thanks to God because we recognize that He is in control of all circumstances surrounding our lives. As Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps” (NLT). Because God is sovereign, He is able to do what He pleases with whomever He chooses whenever He wishes. Some people bristle at that truth. Control—or even the idea of control—is a difficult thing to surrender. They prefer to operate under the illusion that they control their own destiny. The Bible writers held no such illusions. In fact, they saw God’s sovereignty as something to celebrate—something to be thankful for. The prophet Jeremiah said, “I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course” (Jeremiah 10:23 NLT). And we read in Proverbs 20:24, “The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?” (NLT). That’s the sovereignty of God. But what about when bad things happen? Is God still in control? Yes. And the Bible tells us that despite the bad things that happen, which many times are inexplicable, God can work all things together for good for those who love Him (see Romans 8:28). As the psalmist wrote, “Everything serves plans” (Psalm 119:91 NLT). That’s cause for thanksgiving because God’s plans put us exactly where we need to be. We never have to wonder whether we’re doing the right thing when we submit to God. Because He is sovereign, we can trust Him as our ultimate authority. Reflection question: What difference does God’s sovereignty make in your life?

Send us a textAdvent begins in a dark season, especially in the Western Hemisphere, and that's no accident. In this conversation with Pastor Jason Jackson, we explore why Advent matters, especially in seasons marked by grief, disappointment, or exhaustion. We talk about the church calendar, the subversive invitation to slow down, and how this sacred season holds space for both lament and hope. Whether you're new to Advent or longing to find God in the tension, this episode offers gentle wisdom, theological depth, and a deeply pastoral word for your soul.Learn more about Communion of the Saints Church in Colorado Springs: https://www.cosdowntown.org/https://www.simplywholehearted.com/wholeheartedcoachingcollectiveGet Your Enneagram Gift Guide and Advent Podcast Playlisthttps://www.simplywholehearted.com/enneagram-gift-guideRESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

In this episode, we dive deep into the unseen labor that women, especially women of color, navigate daily—whether it's managing societal expectations around beauty, facing structural inequities in the workplace, or advocating for change in a world resistant to it. From colorism and the “hot girl tax” to pay transparency, unionization, and the power of community, our guest shares candid insights and personal experiences to illuminate both challenges and actionable solutions.

Global Outreach Director Marissa Armit reflects on a busy ministry trip to Nairobi, Kenya, realizing the need to slow down and listen for God's voice in the stillness. She encourages creating rhythms of prayer and journaling to hear Him.
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Romans 12:2 NLT) A flock of wild geese was flying south for the winter. One goose looked down and noticed a group of domestic geese by a little pond near a farm. He noticed that the domestic geese had plenty of grain to eat. Life seemed relatively easy for them. So, he flew down and hung out with the geese until spring. He enjoyed their food, their company, and their leisurely pace. His plan was to rejoin his flock of geese when they flew north again. When spring came, he heard his flock overhead and flew up to join them. But he had grown a bit fat from all the seed he had eaten. Flying was difficult for him. So, he decided to spend one more season on the farm and then rejoin his flock on its next winter migration. When the geese flew south the following fall, the goose flapped his wings a little, but he just kept eating his grain. He had simply lost interest. This is an ideal illustration of how the world influences believers. Usually, there’s no single dramatic event that transforms us. The process doesn’t happen overnight. Instead, it occurs gradually. Like the goose, we may be going about our business, doing what we’re supposed to do, when something catches our eye. Something that looks more appealing. Something that requires less effort. We get distracted. We temporarily suspend what we’re supposed to be doing to investigate. And we like what we see—often because it appeals to our old nature. And if we start to feel guilty about abandoning what we’re supposed to be doing, we rationalize. We tell ourselves that the sidetrack is only temporary—that we’ll soon return to what we’re supposed to be doing. Unfortunately, our best intentions get lost in the convenience or excitement of the sidetrack. Soon, the things of God—the things we’re supposed to be doing—become less appealing to us, and the things of this world become more appealing. After a while, we lose all interest in the things of God. The apostle Paul understood this process all too well. He saw it happen to one of his trusted Christian companions. In his last letter to Timothy, he wrote, “Demas has deserted me because he loves the things of this life” (2 Timothy 4:10 NLT). That’s why Paul warned the believers in Rome, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2 NLT). We have a choice: Either we will be conformed to this world, or we will be transformed by the renewing of our minds. It’s one or the other. The question is, which way will you go? Reflection question: Which worldly influences present the biggest challenge for you?

This is a big one folks. In this ep Nick & Billy dive deep into how we can build hope in our kids at different ages and levels of development, how hope is different to optimism and resilience, and how it can be used following set backs and failure. We discuss hope in the setting of heartbreaking experiences such as school expulsion, trauma, suicidal thinking and grief. As always we also read beautiful reflections and advice that bring laughter and tears. Thank you to everyone for sharing your experience with such honesty, vulnerability and courage. Your strength to keep trying to heal and grow for all the kids out there gives us hope.
In this message we slow down at the foot of the cross to see what really happened in Mark 15:21–32 and what it means for the parts of our story that feel the most broken. From Simon's ordinary day colliding with God's grace to Jesus stepping straight into our “Skull Places,” we discover a God who meets us in the dark, carries what we can't, and declares a final verdict of freedom over us. If you're tired, ashamed, or unsure where you stand with God, this message reminds you that the cross worked and your identity is secure.FOR GROUP DISCUSSION & REFLECTION:1. Where has God stepped into your “ordinary day” like He did for Simon? Where might He be doing that now?2. What is your “Skull Place”…the part of your story you assume is too dark? How does Jesus walking into that place change your view of Him?3. The mockers misunderstood the very thing that was saving them. Where do you misread God's work in your life? What might God be doing behind the scenes there?4. If the cross really worked, what truth about your identity is hardest to believe right now? What would change if you trusted His verdict?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL
Welcome educators! Before we dive in, don't forget to check out the engaging ESL resources available at myadventuresinesl.com/store. Episode Overview As we move closer to Winter Break, it's completely normal to feel the weight of the season — the planning, the paperwork, the constant juggling. In this episode, we explore a powerful mindset shift that can bring clarity, purpose, and even joy back into your weekly planning: seeing lesson planning not as a chore, but as an act of design. This episode offers encouragement, practical strategies, and a refreshing way to approach planning so that it feels more intentional, creative, and energizing. In This Episode, We Explore: ✨ Why Planning Feels Heavy This Time of Year The pressure of ongoing lessons, deadlines, and constant demands How exhaustion and guilt creep in for many ESL teachers A reminder that you are doing meaningful, impactful work ✨ The Mindset Shift: Planning → Designing Learn how seeing yourself as an instructional designer changes everything: It reignites creativity Lessons feel more purposeful Students experience deeper engagement Planning becomes less overwhelming and more rewarding ✨ How This Shift Transforms Your Classroom When planning becomes design, you: Make more intentional choices Build lessons that flow instead of disconnect Focus on experiences, not checklists Support language growth with more clarity and ease Key Strategies Covered 1. Start With the Student Experience Instead of opening your template first, ask: "What do I want my students to experience and feel during this lesson?" This approach helps you design lessons that are meaningful and memorable. 2. Sketch the Student Journey Map out what students are doing, saying, and thinking from warm-up to wrap-up. Then layer in language objectives and scaffolds. 3. Create a Lesson Design Framework Designers use frameworks — teachers can too. Build a structure that includes: Your non-negotiables (language objectives, interaction, scaffolds) A consistent lesson flow Flexibility for different proficiency levels This cuts planning time dramatically and brings consistency to your instruction. 4. Reflect Like a Designer After each lesson, ask: What worked well? Where did students engage the most? What would I redesign next time? Reflection keeps you intentional and growing. Encouragement for the Week You don't have to reinvent your lessons every time. You don't have to settle for planning that drains you. You get to design experiences that help multilingual learners grow in extraordinary ways. Call to Action This week, choose one upcoming lesson and redesign it through a designer's lens. Start with the experience, build your support, and simplify the rest. Share your reflection with me!

820 And An Angel of the Lord Appeared to Them, A Guided Christian Meditation on Luke 2:7-9 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ. Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization. You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing. If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes. Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation: Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate, deflate. Scripture for Meditation Luke 2 NIV 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. NASB 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night.9 And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. Reflection on Scripture: God does not need your validation. He doesn't need human clout. The Son of God was laid in a food box for animals instead of a bassinet or crib. Jesus did not use his influence to avoid personal hardship. God doesn't need human legitimacy. He didn't send his son to a golden throne but was born during a tax audit during a time of subjugation of Gods people. Then instead of sending word to the kings and emperors of the world he shared the news with humble shepherds. He didn't need the approval of nations and people. He had angels to declare the glorious message. I don't think we recognize this in our lives. God doesn't need the approval of the world. He doesn't need to convince the world. He rules the heavens and has power to crush or burn the earth. He chooses to allow us to know about plans. He uses whatever means he chooses. The same applies to your life. He doesn't need our validation. He doesn't need your effort but rather we should glorify God because he is worthy of it. Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?
