Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Matthew 8:5-17 When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him and appealed to him, saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully." He said to him, "I will come and cure him." The centurion said in reply, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed. For I too am a man subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it." When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, "Amen, I say to you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith. I say to you, many will come from the east and the west, and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the banquet in the Kingdom of heaven, but the children of the Kingdom will be driven out into the outer darkness, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth." And Jesus said to the centurion, "You may go; as you have believed, let it be done for you." And at that very hour his servant was healed. Jesus entered the house of Peter, and saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He touched her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and waited on him. When it was evening, they brought him many who were possessed by demons, and he drove out the spirits by a word and cured all the sick, to fulfill what had been said by Isaiah the prophet: He took away our infirmities and bore our diseases. Reflection Jesus encountered over and over again rejection, rejection and rejection from those engaged in the temple and in the system that the temple taught people to be a part of. But here we see the beauty of what Jesus is really about. He's here to give life to those who care. And we have in the centurion a man who comes forward, a general of the Roman army, and he's worried about his servant, not himself, and he asks for healing for someone else. And he knows that Jesus can do it. And Jesus is so struck by his faith. He's never found any faith like that in all of Israel. It's a beautiful image of how miracles work, how healing works when we care deeply for one another and long for one another to grow and change, and invite God to bless those that we care about and bring them into fullness. That's the Kingdom of God. That's the work we have before us. Closing Prayer Father, relationship with you is not just about us. It is about those you have shared with us, our family, our friends, our circle. Help us always to invite you into the role of using us to be healers of those that we love. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send us a textWhat does it take to rebuild your life when everything is suddenly taken away? Neil Stringer, known as 'The Copy Doctor', takes us on a profound journey from his days as a brass musician in the Salvation Army to becoming a digital nomad copywriter in Vietnam – and then facing the devastating moment when he went completely blind."It was the 16th of May 2020. I remember at the time it was 4:45 in the afternoon. That's when I went blind. As in blackness, as in blind," Neil recounts with remarkable candor. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes that had damaged his optic nerves, Neil spent eight days in hospital on steroids before returning home unable to work. He lost all his clients and had to rebuild from nothing, writing articles for half a cent per word just to survive.Before this life-altering event, Neil had already lived several fascinating lives – from nearly becoming a professional trumpet player to running substance abuse programs as a clinical psychologist with a PhD. His path to becoming The Copy Doctor emerged from his psychological understanding of human behavior and how to ethically persuade rather than manipulate. This expertise led him to write copy that turned a $37 offer into $42,000 in two weeks and helped clients generate millions in revenue.Throughout the conversation, Neil shares powerful wisdom about the difference between having a profession, a vocation, and a calling. "When you have a calling, you elevate to the top of the chart because it puts a different context behind everything you do," he explains. His insights on gratitude as a foundation for resilience are equally moving: "I always begin by counting my blessings and being grateful for what I have got. And I keep doing that until I stop worrying about what I haven't got."Whether you're facing your own life challenges, seeking to understand the psychology behind effective marketing, or simply drawn to remarkable human stories, Neil's journey will inspire you to find purpose in adversity and to recognize that "it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice."Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Luke 15:3-7 Jesus addressed this parable to the Pharisees and scribes: "What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy and, upon his arrival home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them, 'Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.” Reflection The Kingdom of God is more about finding something lost than perfection. What is lost is an awareness, an experience of God inside of us. God living in us, his Holy Spirit resonating life and love and goodness to the world. The one person to see that is more important than 99 who are just doing things that they're told to do, is much more than doing what you're told, it is about receiving what you need, and even more frightening, what you may have lost. Closing Prayer The image of Jesus carrying the sheep on his shoulders is a beautiful image of the care that God wants to give to each of us. When we wander, when we're in danger, he's there. And he's there to care for us, carry us, show us the way. Help us to trust in this good shepherd. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Focus and Intentional Living: Understand the importance of directing the "flashlight of attention" towards meaningful experiences and relationships.

Today, we read Mary's great song of praise to God, the Magnificat. After being faithful, after being encouraged, Mary now sings this song of praise. There is much for which she praises God. She praises Him for His blessings to her. She will be called blessed by all generations. She praises Him for His remembering of His promises to Abraham and their ancestors. And finally, she praises Him for turning the world upside down. The hungry are fed, and the lowly are lifted up. We pray weekly for God's will to be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. We see here the heart of what God wants it to look like.

What started with unexpected travel delays turned into a pilgrimage of deep spiritual awakening. I found myself inside a sacred cave once used by ancient high priestesses for rituals and ceremonies, and the moment I stepped inside, I felt timelines collapse. It was as if I was walking with my ancestors.I share what it was like to tune into the energy of the land, the rituals I felt called to do, and the emotional, physical, and spiritual sensations that moved through me in this powerful place. I also visited the ancient Knossos Palace, reflecting on the lost wisdom of early civilizations and how these sacred sites still hold keys for our healing today. This journey is a reminder of the importance of listening to nature, honoring the whispers of your soul, and saying yes—even when the path isn't fully clear.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Introduction and mystical experience(1:45) Journey to Greece: delays and discoveries(3:25) Exploring the sacred cave(6:52) Reflections and rituals in the cave(11:59) Knossos palace and ancient civilizations(17:36) Final thoughts and future explorations
Tim Kennedy is a decorated Green Beret, former UFC fighter, entrepreneur, and bestselling author known for his relentless drive, outspoken authenticity, and commitment to service. From his upbringing on California's Central Coast to his high-profile military and athletic careers, Tim has built a life defined by grit, discipline, and meaningful connections. He's also the co-founder of Apogee Strong, an organization focused on cultivating resilience and leadership in young men. On this episode we talk about: How Tim's family and upbringing on the Central Coast of California shaped his values and work ethic The importance of surrounding yourself with high-quality people and how to build real friendships as an adult Lessons learned from homeschooling, early independence, and being launched into life at a young age The role of grit, discipline, and consistency in both parenting and professional success Reflections on fatherhood, the emotional journey of watching your kids grow, and why Tim believes family is the ultimate source of fulfillment Why real happiness and meaning come from relationships and service, not just freedom or doing whatever you want The founding of Apogee Strong and how Tim is helping the next generation develop critical life skills Top 3 Takeaways Character Attracts Character: The best way to build a strong network is to be sincere, honest, and real—qualities that naturally attract other high-quality people. Grit and Discipline Are Foundational: Early lessons in hard work, independence, and consistency set the stage for lifelong success, both in family and business. Relationships Are Everything: True fulfillment comes from investing in family and friendships—solving for freedom alone leads to emptiness, but serving others brings lasting happiness. Notable Quotes “The characteristics of being a good human, I think, attract other good humans. If you're a piece of crap, you're going to be surrounded by other pieces of crap.” “Everything about you changes the moment you become a parent.

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Matthew 7:21-29 Jesus said to his disciples: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?' Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.' "Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined." When Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes. Reflection Jesus is pointing out something very important about what we do. You can do actions that are according to what God wants, but your heart can be far, far from him. What he's saying is that the only way that we can do the work of God is by connecting with God, about God being within us, God being the source of what we do. It's why he says to those that say, we're doing everything for you, everything in your name. And he looks at them and simply says, you don't know me. You haven't contacted me. You haven't asked for me to be the source of the work that you do. It creates a house built on sand. Closing Prayer Father, you are the source of all good that flows from us. And you simply give us the generous gift of your authority, your strength. All you ask is that we allow you to come and be a part of our life. Allowing you to be the source, the foundation of everything that we do. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Melissa Gisoni spent a lot of years trying to do and say the right thing. Then she hit 50 and decided to stop worrying about how others might see her. She joins John Corella for a conversation about finding her voice, showing up more boldly, and choosing joy on her own terms. John and Melissa talk about the power of allyship, what it meant to her to attend West Hollywood Pride, and how her daughters, Maddie and Mackenzie, have grown up with a strong sense of inclusion and empathy. What does it look like to raise kids in the spotlight while still protecting their spirit? And how do you hold boundaries when the world keeps asking for more? Melissa also opens up about her dream of becoming an actress and what draws her to roles that feel fun and lighthearted, maybe even a Hallmark movie someday. She shares what she learned from being a dance mom, how she supported her girls as they built careers of their own, and what she would do differently if she could go back, especially when it came to speaking up for Mackenzie. In this episode, Melissa reflects on what she got right, what she let slide, and what she'd never do the same way again. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how to support their kids without losing themselves, what it really means to protect someone in the public eye, and why using your voice, especially later in life, can feel both freeing and necessary.

In this book-club-style episode, Tash and Mel chat through Mel's latest read. Mel shares a little bit about the significance this book holds for her, and gives her recommendation for other readers.
“I'll take your ‘Lord of This World' and raise you ‘After Forever'…” From “The Moses story” to “the shortest verse in The Good Book” to one of the creepiest spoken word intros in all of metal which references end time prophecy, the impact of GOD IN METAL can be found everywhere, no matter how subtle or obvious, positive or negative. Whether it's an album cover, a band's name, a song, or even direct Biblical scripture, there are endless references to GOD IN METAL across all genres of heavy metal, and we barely even mentioned Christian metal. Discover the truth about “A.I.” and why “pretty clean is not clean enough” (for some), learn about the “Christmas Vacation” reference (and the ensuing drama) we forgot to mention on our recent Metallica concert review, be sure to always exercise prudence & discernment regarding the concept of “easy hole” and remember that “Yeah, That Dude is huge, too” when you JOIN US for The Bunkerpoon Revival as we behold the divinely everlasting and eternally omnipotent impact of GOD IN METAL.

Kevin Gilford's story is one of addiction, crime, survival, and redemption. In this interview, Kevin shares how he became addicted to meth, taught himself to cook it, and fell deep into the drug world — leading to time in California state prison and eventually federal prison, the same one Ian was locked up in. We dive into the realities of prison life, the underground meth scene, and how Kevin is now owning his past and rebuilding his future. #MethCookStory #PrisonSurvival #TrueCrimeInterview #AddictionRecovery #LifeAfterPrison #FederalPrisonStory #BreakingBadReality #LockedInPodcast Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Connect with Kevin Gilford: Buy his book: https://a.co/d/dq9cmdZ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1B5kRDt8do/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: https://convictclothing.net/collections/convict-clothing-x-ian-bick Timestamps:00:00:00 An Unexpected Confrontation 00:06:10 Journey into using: From Discovery to Dependency00:12:23 Life as a Restaurant Cook and Cover Story 00:18:25 The Secrets of Cooking Techniques00:24:46 Chemistry 00:30:43 Struggles with Addiction and Family Life00:37:24 Experiences with a Troubling Cellmate00:43:11 Navigating Chemical Dependency and Parole 00:49:35 Negotiating Sentences and Legal Outcomes 00:55:42 East Coast vs. West Coast Jail Culture Clash01:01:49 Prison Contraband and Accountability 01:08:03 The Origin of the Nickname 'Danger'01:14:15 Navigating Job Applications with a Criminal Record 01:20:14 Life After Deportation and Reintegration01:26:32 Turning Life Around After Prison 01:33:00 Reflections on Prison Life and Hope for Change Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Matthew 7:15-20 Jesus said to his disciples: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. So by their fruits you will know them.” Reflection One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is discernment. And the image of a tree that produces good fruit or bad fruit is a beautiful image for us to understand that what we look at when we look at someone and discern who they are, we are perceiving things about them that we either like and feel comfortable with or don't like. But the one that seems most potent is whether or not you feel the person is connecting with you. There is a connection of spirit. That's the sign that we look for. The spirit in someone else, like the spirit in us, gives us the authority to discern whether we're dealing with someone who is helpful or harmful. Closing Prayer Father, give us the strength and the wisdom to know who we are, ourselves and who the people around us truly are. Help us always to be with people that are fruitful, with gifts of the Holy Spirit. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this solo episode of The Jack Canfield Podcast, I share a deeply personal and heartfelt message—one that marks a major turning point in my life and work. After decades of teaching, speaking, and leading transformational work around the world… I've decided it's time to slow down. While this may be the final episode for a while—possibly forever—I wanted to come on and share why I'm choosing (mostly) retirement, what's next for me, and how you can still stay connected as I enter this next chapter of my journey. I also share the exciting creative projects I'm still committed to (yes, I'm writing 6 new books!) and offer you the latest insights I've uncovered around success, spiritual growth, healing, abundance, and life purpose. This episode is filled with stories, wisdom, and the core truths I've come to believe after 80 years on this planet—and over 50 years of helping others live more fulfilled, purpose-driven lives. Whether you've followed my work through Chicken Soup for the Soul, The Success Principles, or our seminars and coaching programs, I recorded this episode as a love letter… to you.
In this episode of TV Tortured Together, Jacob and Laura time-travel back to the glory days of Boy Meets World, where life lessons were served daily—usually by a wise man peeking over a fence. They unpack the genius of Mr. Feeny, who somehow managed to teach every subject, solve every emotional crisis, and never age. Jacob compares detention to a low-budget horror movie, while Laura insists it was more like forced meditation with fluorescent lighting. They hilariously debate who they'd be in the Boy Meets World universe (spoiler: Jacob thinks he's Shawn, Laura thinks he's Minkus), then spiral into a late-'90s scary movie flashback and an unexpected argument over whether the theme song is a bop or a skip. Come for the nostalgia, stay for the Feeny fangirling and theme song drama.Chapters00:00 Introduction to TV Torture Together00:58 Current TV Shows and Anticipation01:51 Nostalgia for 90s TV Shows02:49 Deep Dive into Boy Meets World05:35 Character Dynamics and Relationships08:34 Detention and Consequences11:14 The Horror Elements in the Episode14:13 The Climax and Revelations18:04 Conclusion and Reflections on the EpisodeCheckout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

Send us a textIn this heartfelt episode, Heather opens up about her postpartum experiences with her two children, revealing the profound differences in support, mental health, and feeding challenges she faced. She shares candid reflections on the emotional highs and lows of new motherhood, the importance of therapy, and how medication played a role in her healing.Through honest storytelling, Heather reminds us that no two postpartum journeys are the same—and that building a strong support system, practicing self-care, and asking for help are essential parts of the transition into motherhood.

What if slowing down isn't a setback, but a turning point? In this episode, Stephanie explores how midlife often presses pause on our hustle-filled lives - and what looks at first like a punishment is usually an invitation. Through powerful stories from past guests and her own experience, she unpacks how stillness can help us reconnect with what really matters—and why our worth was never meant to be measured by productivity. If you've been feeling the pull to step off the hamster wheel (or if life has already pushed you off), this episode offers the clarity, compassion, and company you didn't know you needed.Reflections: The Cost of Hustle in MidlifeIn this episode, Stephanie explores the hard-earned wisdom that comes when midlife forces us to slow down. Whether through burnout, illness, or emotional exhaustion, many of us hit a moment where hustle stops working, and stillness becomes not just necessary, but enlightening. Drawing from past guest stories and her own experience, Stephanie reflects on how slowing down can shift our relationship with productivity, identity, and self-worth. Midlife, it turns out, might just be the invitation we need to listen more closely to the voice within—and discover a gentler, more honest way of being.In this episode, you'll hear:Why hustle is so deeply ingrained for many of us—and how it eventually starts to break downThe breaking points that forced past guests like Anna Brooke, Tina Bakehouse, and Jennifer Arthurton to stop pushingHow quiet moments revealed surprising truths for Stephanie Rose and Steve VincentThe disorientation (and gift) of realizing you don't really know yourselfThe difference between judgment and discernment—and why it mattersHow slowing down opens space to reconnect with long-lost parts of ourselvesStephanie's personal journey toward redefining productivity on her own termSlowing down isn't the end of ambition—it's the beginning of wisdom. In the stillness, we stop performing life and start living inside it. Whether midlife has already forced your pause or you're just beginning to question the pace, this episode is a gentle reminder that your inner voice is worth listening to—and it's probably not asking you to hustle.If this episode resonated with you, please take a moment to rate, follow, and share The Big Four Oh with a friend.
