Original Post Date: June 19, 2024 === Gospel Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18 Jesus said to his disciples: "Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. "When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. "When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to others to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.” Reflection We tend to judge ourselves and others by our actions, and certainly the temple was a place that had many, many rules and regulations demanded people do them. And when people did, then they witnessed their conviction, their faith in God. But the thing that is lacking in that is any kind of real intimacy with God. It's not our actions that he's worried about. It's about whether we know him and whether he's able to reveal who he really is to us. And I think that's said so beautifully in this passage, when more important than the money you give away or more important than the fasting you do, what really you need to do is go into your heart, your inner room, where God lives and dwells, and there pray. And we forget that prayer is as much listening as it is talking. Closing Prayer Father, it's clear the more you read the scriptures, the more you understand that you are always looking for intimacy. Not our actions, but our heart, not our will in our mind, but our heart. What is it that you ask us most especially to do? It's to love. But what God is trying to say is, unless you know the love I have for you, you cannot be the lover the gospel calls you to be. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys open with Ed basking in the glory of a long-awaited New York Knicks championship after attending multiple historic playoff comeback victories. Brian recaps a trip to Pittsburgh, including a devastating near-miss on a foul ball that may haunt him forever. The show then pauses for an emotional tribute to beloved longtime listener and frequent caller David Bray, whose passing leaves a lasting impact on the Baller Lifestyle community. From there, it's a full RIP roundup featuring entertainers, athletes, actors, coaches, and public figures before diving into sports stories involving Phil Mickelson, bizarre baseball controversies, social media feuds between Sesame Street characters, and much more. The episode closes with Nine Sports, where the conversation drifts into celebrity weddings, microwaved fish, Ted Danson's infamous blackface controversy, and a report claiming Randy "Macho Man" Savage's off-screen activities were every bit as intense as his wrestling persona.

Original Post Date: June 18, 2024 === Gospel  Matthew 5:43-48 Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Reflection Anyone that seeks to be perfect is up against something that's too much, too hard, too difficult. But Jesus isn't telling his disciples that they have to do this, but they have to allow God to do this through them. When you are loved as God loves you, when you are treated with great generosity by God, when you see him giving you every single thing you need. It's easy then to understand that that's what human beings need. That's what they long for. To be cared for, to be loved, to be seen as important. Closing Prayer When we face our human nature and it shows us reasons why we should not be as loving as God calls us to be. It's exactly then, when we don't look at ourselves and judge ourselves as unable to do it, but we look to God who is able to do it and invite him to dwell within us. It's only then that we can achieve the perfection of a community of love, and we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation centers on the importance of living in continual awareness of God's presence and intentionally including Him in every aspect of daily life. Ron shares how his experience in Israel impacted his walk with the Lord, particularly through the Jewish practice of prayer, memorizing Scripture, and keeping God at the forefront of everyday activities. The discussion highlights how prayer is not merely a religious exercise but a way of welcoming God's presence into every moment. The family also reflect on a worship service at a Messianic Jewish Kehila in Jerusalem, where people of all ages participated by singing and reciting Scripture. This experience served as a powerful picture of the Body of Christ functioning together, with every member contributing. The conversation further explores the beauty of Israel, the faith and resilience of its people, the security provided by the IDF, and the fulfillment of biblical prophecies visible in modern Jerusalem. Throughout the discussion, the emphasis remains on recognizing God's faithfulness, cultivating His presence, and allowing His Word to become a living reality in daily life. Show Notes • Ron shares how his trip to Israel changed his perspective on prayer and daily fellowship with God. • The importance of memorizing Scripture and keeping the Word continually before the Lord. • Dale explains how Jewish culture intentionally includes God in every aspect of life. • Discussion of prayer as the gateway to living in God's presence. • Ron describes attending a Messianic Jewish Kehila where worship centered on Scripture, participation, and community. • The congregation demonstrated a living expression of the Body of Christ, with every person contributing. • Reflections on the beauty and fruitfulness of the land of Israel. • Observations of the security and vigilance of the Israeli people and the IDF. • Testimonies of feeling God's peace and protection while in Israel. • The fulfillment of biblical prophecy seen in the children playing in the streets of Jerusalem. • Recognition of God's faithfulness to His promises and His ongoing work among His people. Key Quotes • "When you do that, it really brings the Lord front and center in an awareness." • "I'm trying to memorize, memorize, memorize so that I can mumble all day long the Word of God." • "The drive of our hearts is to be in His presence always." • "The best way to welcome Him into our presence is prayer." • "To me, it was like an example of the Body of Christ moving where every member supplies." • "I never felt afraid at all, not even once." • "A lot of it had to do with the presence of the Lord." • "The children will be playing once again in the streets of old Jerusalem." • "These kids were having a ball. They were just having fun." Scriptural References Psalm 1 (2) "But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night." Referenced through Ron's emphasis on memorizing and continually speaking the Word of God. Psalm 119 (11) "Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You." Reflects the discussion of hiding God's Word in the heart through memorization. Joshua 1 (8) "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night." Illustrates the practice of continually speaking and meditating on God's Word. 1 Thessalonians 5 (17) "Pray without ceasing." Supports the theme of including God in every aspect of life through continual prayer. John 15 (4–5) "Abide in Me, and I in you." Reflects the desire to live continually in God's presence and awareness. Ephesians 4 (16) "From whom the whole body, being fitted and held together... causes the growth of the body." Illustrates Ron's observation of every member participating during worship at the Kehila. 1 Peter 2 (5) "You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house." Supports the picture of a functioning spiritual community where every member contributes. Isaiah 35 (1) "The wilderness and the desert will be glad, and the Arabah will rejoice and blossom like the crocus." Connected to the discussion of Israel's land flourishing and becoming fruitful. Zechariah 8 (4–5) "Old men and old women will again sit in the streets of Jerusalem... and the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its streets." Directly referenced in the conversation regarding Rothschild Square and children playing in Jerusalem. Psalm 91 (1–2) "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty." Reflects the testimony of experiencing peace and protection while in Israel. Takeaway Living in God's presence is not reserved for special moments of worship or prayer meetings; it is a daily lifestyle of intentionally including Him in everything we do. As believers fill their hearts with His Word, cultivate continual prayer, and remain aware of His nearness, they become increasingly sensitive to His presence and His leading. Out of that relationship flows peace, worship, fellowship, and a living expression of Christ through His Body. The more God becomes the center of everyday life, the more His reality is manifested in and through His people.

Sheryl and Victoria reflect on their experiences of Sheryl's first-ever in-person retreat: Another Way. For five days, nestled in a Colorado valley, the retreatants engaged in dream work and rituals; practiced council; moved mindfully; and connected to creativity. Inside a circle of compassion and wisdom, tears and laughter flowed with ease. A web of deep, healing connection was woven--invisible threads of love that now stretch across continents and oceans.  In this conversation, Sheryl and Victoria share the guiding principles of the retreat, emphasizing gentleness, safety, and empowerment; dispel myths about what a retreat experience "should" look like; and explore how, no matter what, showing up with an open heart is more than enough.  References: "Another Way" Gathering Gold episode How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy, Jenny Odell Animal Spirit Deck, Kim Kranz Projective identification dreamwork, Jeremy Taylor Join us on Patreon for bonus content and virtual gatherings: patreon.com/gatheringgold Some of our recent bonus episodes include: Victoria's Psychotropic Experience | The Slipstream of Time | Give and Receiving - Shudder - Feedback | The Problem with Pedestals | Are Intrusive Thoughts like Stray Cats?

Original Post Date: June 17, 2024 === Gospel Matthew 5:38-42 Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one to him as well. If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well. Should anyone press you into service for one mile, go with him for two miles. Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.” Reflection The transition between the Old and New Testament is very clear here. In the Old Testament, because of the condition of human beings, the most that they were asked to do was to be fair. If someone hurt you, you could hurt them back. If someone took something from you, you could take something back from them. But here Jesus begins to reveal the new kingdom, the kingdom of God. It is based not in justice, but in service. In love. And what he's simply asking you to do is consider first the needs of someone else before you consider your own. Closing Prayer Father, when we seek to be more generous, we need to realize how you have promised your spirit dwelling within us. We cannot be who God wants us to be without God living within us, loving through us, those that are in need. Bless us with this conviction and this understanding of the Kingdom. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is Episode 3 of the Recruit Reflection Series, sponsored by Full Out Collegiate Recruiting.This week, we're joined by Mya Jett, an uncommitted gymnast in the Class of 2027. Mya was originally committed to Iowa State on a full athletic scholarship, but as many unfortunately know, the program was cut in March, leaving several gymnasts — including Mya — without a home. Now heading into her senior year, Mya is navigating the recruiting process once again. Her story highlights just how competitive college recruiting has become, especially in this new era of roster limits, transfer portal movement, and talks of  potential fifth-year eligibility.Mya was incredibly vulnerable in this episode, and we know there are many athletes in the Classes of 2027 and 2026 who can relate to the emotions she shares. From the shock of losing her original program to the rejection and uncertainty she's  faced throughout this increasingly competitive college recruiting landscape, Mya offers an honest look at the challenges many student athletes are experiencing today.Thank you to our monthly Patreon supporters: Lee B, Cookiemaster, Happy Girl, Erica S, Semflam, Amy C, Maria L, Becca S, Cathleen R, Faith, Kerry M, Derek H, Emily, Sharon B, MSU, Kimberly G, Lela M, Mara L, Jenna A, Alex M, Dana, Lidia, Maria P, Alicia O, Cristina K, Hayley B, Bethany J, Kentiemac, Marni S, Betny T, Emily C, Cathy D, Lisa T, Libby C, Thiago, Debbie, Taryn M, Amy M, Jamie S, Chuck C, Kaitlin, Susan P, LFC_Hokie, Ella, Kay, Julie B, Austin K, Jane, Sarah, Amy, Stephen S, Johanna T, Alison S, Alberto D, Kristina T, Abigail W, Jennifer K, Kate M, Naomi S, Claudia L, Erin L, Thomas B, Lauren D, Kihika M, Beth C, Amy, Renee PM, Ryan V, Brandon H, Okcaro, Tyler, Paola, Heather, Kate, Danielle, ALittleUnderRotated, Lacy, Dana C, Grace, Pat G, Lexi G, Laura N, Kathy, Katie A, Róisín, Megan J, Emily D, Britton, Ry Shep, Reyna G, William A, MB, Jackson G, Stella, Ulo F, Noah C, Melissa H, Alexis, William M, Susie, Leslie G, Catherine B, Laura L, Katy S, Kathy M, Kathy S, Okcaro,  JD B, Cookiecutter, SuniFan, Caroline M, kcmojojojo, Sammy S, Fabio B, Lacie M, Sara G, Kerry H, Leah D, Margaret G, Molly, ClemsonTigersFan, Lisa B, Sarah M, Grace M, Laura A, Justin D, Jas, Kendrick C, Rich A, Ty T, Nick S, Becky E, Annsley M, Melody M, Stacey M, Erica H, Kathy, Teressa, Angela C, Bridgett C, Ashley D, Whitney J, Shelly A, Erika B, JuJu & DFP!

In this episode of the New Books Network, we explore Ethnographic Reflections on Marriage in Dhofar, Oman (Anthem Press, 2026), with anthropologist Dr Marielle Risse. Drawing on nearly two decades of ethnographic fieldwork, Dr Risse offers a nuanced examination of marriage practices among Sunni Muslim communities in southern Oman, challenging many of the assumptions that often underpin Western discussions of gender, family, and personal autonomy. Rather than portraying marriage as either oppressive or emancipatory, Dr Risse presents it as a complex social institution shaped by kinship networks, religious values, and community expectations. Risse's work encourages readers to reconsider familiar ideas about family, marriage, household, intimacy, autonomy, and social life. Amisah Bakuri (PhD) is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her work explores the intersections of religion, sexuality, gender, and migration, especially within African diasporic communities in the Netherlands. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, host Simon Scriver is joined by Natasha Evans (About Loyalty & Your Experience May Vary podcast) and David Amos-Reeves (Prostate Cancer UK & Experience Hub) to reflect on Fundraising Everywhere's recent Supporter Experience Conference. Together, they unpack some of the conference's key themes - including the "relevancy crisis" facing charities, why so many organisations struggle to turn their commitment to supporter experience into real organisational change, and what it truly means to reflect a supporter's motivations back to them. They also explore the differences between large and small charities when it comes to delivering great supporter experiences, share standout moments from the conference (including a powerful session on storytelling from Lisa at Fireside Fundraising), and look ahead to what's coming; from AI's role in closing the relevancy gap, to protecting the irreplaceable human element in fundraising.

In today's conversation, I speak with Jaiden Reid of the LSU, who is coming off an amazing showing at the 2026 NCAA Outdoor Championships where he won the 200m title in a time of 19.63 seconds, taking down the almost 20 year old record set by Walter Dix. Reid also finished 2nd place in the 100m with a windy time of 9.82 seconds.Jaiden has been a rising athlete in the NCAA for a few years while at LSU having been an indoor and outdoor all American in the 100, 200 and 4x100 in previous years. But 2026 was a huge breakthrough that saw him become not only the NCAA champion and record holder, but also one of the fastest athletes of all-time with his 19.63, a mark he couldn't even believe he ran.In our conversation, we do a full breakdown of his NCAA Championship races including the 100m and 200m finals, as well as his mindset and progress throughout the year leading up to the Championships.He also discusses becoming one of the top athletes in his home of the Cayman Islands, and eventually attending Jamaica College in Kingston for high school.Finally, Jaiden addresses the conversation around all the fast times at the NCAA champs and how young athletes like himself will continue to get better and are ready to take over the top spots globally.-------------------------------------------

Every patient is the protagonist in their own story. When we open our hearts to their narratives, we see ourselves reflected in them. We are invigorated to connect with the patients we are accompanying on their healing path, to bring forth our best selves. We heal, from our hearts to their hearts. Emily S. Hagen and Sari Hart reflect on a patient who reminded them that human relationships are at the heart of the healing experience.

After five years and more than 750 episodes, I had a revelation that Follow Your Dream had become much more than just a podcast - it is a global arts platform. It's founded upon 5 pillars of content: Conversations with more than 750 guests; Special Collections, where I curate episodes around common themes and ideas; Reflections, where I share my own observations and thoughts inspired by hundreds of conversations with creative artists; Legends, featuring iconic artists who helped to define their fields; and Essays, which allows me to step back and explore larger themes such as creativity, success, purpose, curiosity, and the creative journey itself. At the same time, I experienced a similar revelation about my music. For years, Project Grand Slam was presented primarily as a catalog of albums and songs. But when I stepped back and looked at the body of work I had created—more than 150 original compositions spanning jazz, fusion, rock, Latin, vocals, instrumentals, collaborations, and other styles—I realized that it too deserved a more thoughtful and curated presentation. So I completely reimagined the Project Grand Slam website, organizing the music into thematic collections that guide visitors through different aspects of the musical journey. The result is that Follow Your Dream and Project Grand Slam are now presented as interconnected creative platforms—one centered on conversations and ideas, the other on music and artistic expression. Both reflect the same lifelong commitment to creativity, curiosity, exploration, and following one's dream. I invite you to explore them.http://www.followyourdreampodcast.com http://www.projectgrandslam.com This is Robert Miller with Follow Your Dream.

Welcome to episode #1040 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Long before artificial intelligence became the dominant business conversation, Sangeet Paul Choudary was helping leaders understand another profound shift in economic power: the rise of platforms. As the co-author of Platform Revolution, founder of Platform Thinking Labs, advisor to global corporations and governments, and a respected thinkers on digital business models, Sangeet has spent years studying how technology changes the sources of competitive advantage and reshapes entire industries. His latest book, Reshuffle - Who Wins When AI Restacks The Knowledge Economy, extends that work into the age of artificial intelligence, exploring what happens when the expertise, judgment and know-how that once lived inside individuals and organizations increasingly migrates into software systems. In this conversation, Sangeet explains why AI represents far more than a productivity upgrade. He argues that every major technological shift changes what is scarce, and when scarcity changes, value moves with it. Drawing on examples ranging from Kodak and Netflix to cloud computing, software platforms and global supply chains, he explores why some organizations adapt while others become trapped by the assumptions that made them successful in the first place. The discussion also examines the changing nature of economic power, the growing importance of digital sovereignty, the future of knowledge work, and the risks of assuming that today's business models will survive tomorrow's technological realities. Throughout the conversation, Sangeet offers a framework for understanding not just what AI can do, but how leaders can rethink their organizations, industries and careers when the foundations of value creation are being rewritten in real time.

In today's Gospel we have Jesus looking at the crowds and his Sacred Heart having pity for the crowd.

Study the daily entries of "Hayom Yom," a book of short daily insights which was compiled by the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, in 1942.

Original Post Date: June 15, 2024 === Gospel Matthew 5:33-37 Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, Do not take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all that you vow. But I say to you, do not swear at all; not by heaven, for it is God's throne; nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. Let your 'Yes' mean 'Yes,' and your 'No' mean 'No.' Anything more is from the Evil One.” Reflection Once again, Jesus makes it clear that we are not regulated by rules and regulations. We're simply regulated by a spirit within us. And the spirit is the spirit of truth. He's just saying, whenever you say yes to someone, you make a promise. Keep it, mean it, and make clear that your intention is honest. It's not something that you will follow through on because you have to, but because you want to. Closing Prayer Father, the authenticity that you create for us, through your spirit dwelling within us is such a great gift. Help us to be aware of it. Help us to turn to it as we struggle with our own human nature, so that we can become more and more engaged in the divine nature that you share with us. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
