When Elizabeth Makepeace fell for a younger, free-spirited musician, she thought she'd found the love foretold in a dream. But what began as a spiritual connection turned into a controlling, emotionally draining marriage that forced her to confront an old pattern she thought she'd outgrown: the compulsion to care for others at the cost of herself. In this deeply honest conversation, Elizabeth shares how she broke the cycle, rebuilt trust with her children, and finally found peace—not just in a partner, but within herself. If you've ever wondered why certain roles keep showing up in your relationships, this episode offers insight, healing, and hope.Guest Bio If you're curious about energy/magic then you need to meet Elizabeth Elenor. Her journey through her 40s was the progression of taking back her power as she left her narcissistic marriage and he started dating a 21 year old. A deep dive into personal power led her to discover the secrets of alchemy; she merged this knowledge with 25 years of being a healer to create The Ascendance Code and energetically align with her Higher Self Wisdom.Turning 40 and resigning as the family fixerElizabeth Makepeace was living a vibrant life in the tropics of Far North Queensland—raising her kids, running a successful healing practice, and feeling aligned in mind, body, and spirit. But when she met a charming, younger musician who swept her off her feet, her well-calibrated world began to shift. What started as a dream romance quickly turned into a rigid, emotionally complex marriage that echoed a painful pattern from her past: the need to care for and fix others, often at her own expense.In this candid and deeply personal episode, Elizabeth shares how a midlife unraveling—marked by loss, anxiety, and the crumbling of family trust—pushed her to finally recognize a generational caretaking pattern she'd been unconsciously replaying. Her story is one of heartbreak, healing, and ultimately, liberation. And yes—her real-life love story ends with a twist that feels straight out of a fairy tale (complete with a symbolic last name!).Episode HighlightsElizabeth's early life as a caretaker for her ill father shaped her subconscious belief that love means caregivingHow a “dream come true” romance slowly morphed into an emotionally taxing marriage marked by control and rigidityThe moment she realized she couldn't heal her partner—and the empowerment of walking awayRebuilding trust with her children and healing her own trauma through bodywork and reflectionThe emotional and spiritual reckoning that came with turning 40—and the clarity it broughtHer advice for listeners: examine the “movie” of your life and ask why certain characters keep showing up in the same rolesThe joyful discovery of a new, healthy relationship built on peace and mutual careElizabeth's story is a wonderful reminder that no matter how much personal work we've done, there are always deeper layers waiting to be revealed. Her midlife unraveling wasn't a failure—it was the doorway to true healing. By identifying the patterns that kept her stuck and tracing them back to their origins, she was able to finally break the cycle. And in doing so, she made peace—with her past, her pain, and eventually, with a man whose name poetically symbolized that transformation.If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to rate, follow and review the podcast.

The Essence of Sitting AroundSitting around is a fundamental human activity. Before we could walk, we sat. This quiet, contemplative act is foundational, and in the context of the Olympics, it becomes a stage for profound human drama.The Origins of the Olympics: A Story of Tortoises and HaresThe concept of the Olympics might well have sprung from watching a tortoise and a hare on the veld. This whimsical idea evolved into a grand event where athletes compete, while the rest of us watch, sometimes in person but often from home.The Waiting Area: A Space of Tension and ReflectionThe waiting area for swimmers is a stark contrast to the dynamism of the pool. It's a place of stillness and reflection, where athletes like Tatjana Schoenmaker, South Africa's breaststroke star, prepare mentally and emotionally for their races.Tatjana Schoenmaker: A Journey of Sacrifice and SolitudeTatjana's journey is marked by early mornings, solitary training, and significant sacrifices. Her dedication is mirrored by her family's support, who even skipped vacations to fund her lessons. This sacrifice paid off with gold and silver medals in Tokyo 2020, breaking a 21-year drought for South African women in Olympic swimming.The Power of Community: Tatjana's T-Shirt TributeTatjana's T-shirt, emblazoned with "Because of you, for you," lists those who supported her journey. It's a powerful reminder that, despite the loneliness of the sport, she is far from alone. Her community, faith, and family are integral to her success.The Dark Side of the Olympics: Doping ScandalsThe Olympics has a hidden underbelly filled with doping scandals. The political and financial pressures can sometimes overshadow the integrity of the games, as seen in the case of Marion Jones and the criticisms of WADA's effectiveness.Moments of Brilliance: Highlights from Paris 2024Despite these challenges, the Paris Games showcased incredible performances. Canadian hammer-thrower Ethan Katzberg's technique and Dutch hurdler Femke Bol's astonishing relay finish were standout moments, alongside Tatjana's inspirational journey.Conclusion: The Weight of Waiting and the Power of DreamsIn the end, the waiting area symbolises the weight of anticipation and the power of dreams. Athletes like Tatjana show us that, though they may seem alone in those moments, they carry the hopes and support of many, making their victories shared triumphs.Donate to The Luke Alfred Show on Patreon.Get my book: Vuvuzela Dawn: 25 Sporting Stories that Shaped a New Nation.Get full written episodes of the show a day early on Substack.Check out The Luke Alfred Show on YouTube and Facebook.

Gospel John 3:16-21 God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God. ReflectionThe intention of God is clearly stated in this passage. He has not come to condemn, which is not necessarily meaning sent to hell, it means that a condemned person has no capacity, no hope that they can ever change. Like a building that's condemned can't be saved or renovated. So what we're seeing in this is the fact that God's will is to lift all of us out of darkness, of shame and fear and anger, and yet we can choose not to be lifted out of those things. We can choose the darkness. It's a frightening thought that we can turn away from everything that we deeply, deeply long for. Closing PrayerFather, You've given us a gift of free will. Help us to ponder the choices that are before us, help us to see the fullness of what each choice creates for us, so that we will see the wisdom and the power of the life that you've called us to live with you, through you, in you, and let us feel and know that light. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Questions for ReflectionThe word “participate” comes from two words meaning “to take” and “part”. Put them together, and what have you got: to take part, to be or become actively involved, or to share in. Based on this definition, would you describe yourself as a participant in what God does in and through JaxNaz Church? If so, in what ways, and to what degree? We talked about four opportunities to participate: partner with God in his mission (more on this next week), give generously, join a Group, serve on a team. How will you participate in what God is doing in and through JaxNaz Church as we make room to grow? What steps can you take today? Key Verse(s)Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 1 Corinthians 12:27I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.

Gospel Matthew 2:13-18 When the magi had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him." Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, Out of Egypt I called my son. When Herod realized that he had been deceived by the magi, he became furious. He ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had ascertained from the magi. Then was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet: A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loud lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be consoled, since they were no more. ReflectionThe shadow of anyone in a position of authority is to be able to make decisions that disregard the dignity of each individual. Every institution is prone to this, and what I see in this story is a way in which when there is power like that over people, there's an innocence that is destroyed, a kind of openness to life and a longing to be affirmed in this life is taken away from people. It's the shadow of all institutions, and we have to work to make sure it doesn't happen in each of our lives. Closing PrayerFather, awakened us to the danger of power. It has to be connected deeply to your presence within us, that it will only, only offer life and goodness and power to people and never robbing them of their rights. And their value and their dignity. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Gospel Matthew 10:17-22 Jesus said to his disciples: "Beware of men, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved.” ReflectionThe early stories of the impact that God's presence living within us is experienced and displayed for us is in these stories like this one with the martyrdom of Saint Stephen. And what so beautiful about this is the promise that God is making to Stephen and to all of us, that when we are doing the work of God, when we are proclaiming the truth, we have to trust in something. And that is this mysterious way in which God's spirit speaks through us. How do you know when it's God speaking and not yourself? It's not a case of knowing, it's a case of believing it's possible and the words that you use are maybe not the key thing, because it's the way in which you're communicating the Spirit of God from you to another person. The words are not the focus, it's your intention. Your intention to speak truth and light and hope to others. Closing PrayerHow do we understand God working through us? Communicating through us? If we think it's just about the words, we are making a mistake because God can use any word that we use and convey something to the person that we are speaking to that is not necessarily in the words themselves, but it's the intention that we have in our hearts to awaken people to you, God. And to all that you are in our lives. So bless us with the conviction that it is not up to us to understand the unfolding of your work through us. Let us always just trust like children, believing, hoping and knowing we are in a work with you. And that work is bringing life to others. And we asked this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Gospel Luke 10:21-24 Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him." Turning to the disciples in private he said, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.” ReflectionThe image of the childlike being able to receive the message of Jesus is so powerful when you understand it. It means that you have a faith that is not worried about what you've thought before. It is wide open to whatever is being presented. The beautiful thing of children is they have nothing to get rid of in order to take something on as a new idea. They are receptive, open, interested, not needing proof. Just the idea itself moves a child to believe in things that many adults resist. It's a great gift. We must work on being childlike and radically receptive to everything that Jesus teaches. Closing PrayerFather, we struggle with new ideas, new ways of seeing. We are caught so often in what we've learned in the past or how we've been trained to see things. Free us from all of that and give us childlike enthusiasm and imagination. These are the gifts we need to know the father and to know the son. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Gospel Luke 21:34-36 Jesus said to his disciples: "Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.” ReflectionThe heart is the essence of who we are. It's the place from which God works. It's interesting here, Jesus is talking about a heart that is sleepy, drowsy. It's because of doing things that are only a distraction and also doing things that make us more and more unconscious and therefore anxious. This is the trap. And so what Jesus longs to do is to awaken in our heart not only our true essence, but also His presence that enables us then to be a source of life and light to all around us. Despite any tribulations, any problems that we face. If we believe in who we are and who God is in our hearts, we will always find life and light and hope. Closing PrayerFather, your gift of your dwelling within our hearts is the heart of everything that I long to teach and to share with those who believe. It is the mysterious presence of your power, your ability to resonate through us all that we need to be in every situation, most especially to be a healing presence, a calming presence, a loving presence in the world. Bless us with this awareness. Help us to be strong. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Gospel Luke 21:29-33 Jesus told his disciples a parable. "Consider the fig tree and all the other trees. When their buds burst open, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near; in the same way, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” ReflectionThe sign that Jesus longs for His disciples to recognize is a sign that is integral to the spiritual journey. It's called rebirth. Dying and rising, losing and finding. That is in nature, it is also in the very essence of a spiritual journey. All things were being accomplished. That's the will of God. And whatever needs to be accomplished in our life for us or through us will be done. That's the confidence we have, but whenever we lose hope and doubt during the winter, that spring will never come, that's when Jesus says, Remember, remember the sign. And when you see it beginning, have hope and be ready to take on the work that is before you. Closing PrayerFather, there are good times and bad times, and then good times again. And in bad times, it's so often that we find ourselves in this cycle and maybe we're not clear enough, especially if the period of darkness last too long, we can lose hope. But help us to know and to believe in the work that you have so clearly described in your own life. How you would be so successful in one moment and then look as if you were about to be destroyed over and over again. You rose to the occasion and taught the mystery that you long for people to see. Help us to be a part of that growth, that revelation, that beautiful process of dying and rising. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Gospel Luke 21:1-4 When Jesus looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins. He said, "I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.” ReflectionThe challenge of the gospel is always radical change, a rearranging of things in our head about what's important and what's not important. In this passage, we see that what God is really asking us is to give to Him everything that we have, everything that we are, our very being, our very self, and invite Him to transform that which we offer, offering our livelihood, everything we think makes us valuable, everything that we depend upon to keep us alive. All of that is filtered through this wonderful promise of God. Stop worrying about it. Give it all up. Give it to me and I will take great care of you. Closing PrayerFather, we worry. We have a lot of anxiety over losing that which we feel we cannot live without. Bless us with this deep, abiding confidence that you will not take anything from us or ask anything from us, that will not in return be something that grants us fullness, abundance, and wonder. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

From navigating hospital admissions to tackling the daunting tasks of missed homework, these parents courageously share their journeys of finding strength amidst the chaos of mental health. This episode will highlight how crucial it is for medical sub-specialists to care about the topic of mental health in pediatric patients with chronic illnesses. They'll talk about the responsibility the sub-specialists have to recognize the connection between physical and mental health and to incorporate holistic approaches into their practice. By taking the time to listen, understand, and connect them with appropriate resources, sub-specialists can play a vital role in supporting their mental health journey. The Roadmap Project reminds us to strive to enhance our competence and confidence in addressing this important aspect of care because every child deserves comprehensive support, not just for their physical health, but for their Mental Wealth as well. [05:21-21:07] The Origin of the Road Map ProjectInitiated after a conversation with the American Board of Pediatrics in 2016A collaborative effort between patients, families, and cliniciansAims to improve the emotional health of patients and families with chronic conditionsPublished using Google Docs and updated automatically every 5 minutes[21:08 - 35:10] Subspecialty Responsibility and Competence in Addressing Mental Health Approximately two-thirds of respondents believe that addressing mental health is the responsibility of their subspecialty.Only 20% of graduating subspecialty fellows feel competent enough to address mental health.Competence levels vary among different subspecialties, with cardiology and nephrology showing the lowest confidence levels.The focus is on acknowledging, validating, and connecting individuals to appropriate mental health resources when needed.[35:11 - 43:06] The Therapeutic Power of AskingHow the normalize-ask-pause-connect approach can enhance patient careHow asking can contribute to healing and understandingThe role of asking in therapy and self-reflectionThe potential benefits of asking in various life situations[43:07 - 1:01:45] Importance of Raising Awareness Clinicians reporting significant changes in their practice approachCreating a culture of continuous learning and professional developmentIncreasing awareness of the impact on patient care and outcomesEmpowering clinicians to prioritize emotional health in their practice [1:01:46 - 1:09:00] Closing segment TakeawayLinks to resources mentioned on the showYou can reach The Roadmap ProjectWebsite: Roadmap For Emotional HealthYouTube: The Roadmap Project - YouTubeVideos:The impact of being Black while living with a chronic condition: Inpatient...

Gospel Matthew 8:28-34 When Jesus came to the territory of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs who were coming from the tombs met him. They were so savage that no one could travel by that road. They cried out, "What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?" Some distance away a herd of many swine was feeding. The demons pleaded with him, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of swine." And he said to them, "Go then!" They came out and entered the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea where they drowned. The swineherds ran away, and when they came to the town they reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs. Thereupon the whole town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to leave their district. ReflectionThe miracles that Jesus performed that were therapeutic are remembered and treasured, but often people don't remember another way that he showed his power and that was the power he had over evil, and we'd rather not think about evil as a power, but when you think about the things that we see humans do that seem to be almost animalistic, so below what we should be in terms of our consciousness, you're usually looking at something that is like evil, it has gotten into them and robbed them of their true nature. We need to be sure that we know the one thing that Jesus taught about this power of evil: His power is stronger. Closing PrayerFather, whenever we feel discouragement, we look at the human race, we think what's happening to us, we're all seemingly not what we should be, and just remember that so often the evil that we see is not coming from our human nature, but from some force that overrides our human nature, our instinct for goodness. Trust in that power that God has that can conquer that. That's our hope. That's our future. God's power in you and me to help us deal with those things that distort our way of seeing. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

GospelMatthew 16:13-19 When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” ReflectionThe rock of our Christian faith. Is in a person not in a religion. It is in this God man who came into the world. And if we recognize Him for who He is and listen to the truth that He shares with us, then that is the rock upon which the church will be built. It is our relationship with God that is so essential, so important, so that we can live on this earth as God intended. So that this Earth will be more like the heaven we are going to. It's a wonderful promise. And it's all based on that simple truth. God revealed himself in Jesus. Closing PrayerOpen our hearts to the many ways in which each day you show us who you are, who you are in us. It is our rock. It is the thing we stand on that keeps us strong and focused in a world filled with tensions and divisions. It is your gift to us. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

GospelMark 12:28-34 One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?" Jesus replied, "The first is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these." The scribe said to him, "Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, He is One and there is no other than he. And to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." And when Jesus saw that he answered with understanding, he said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." And no one dared to ask him any more questions.ReflectionThe message that's somewhat hidden, in the words of Jesus to describe is this It's not about what you do that's important. It's about what you allow God to do first. The first commandment is to love him. And there is no way that human beings can love as completely as he's asking us to love God without first being inspired by, infused with, the love that God has for us. It's not an understanding of how things work. It's more, where is the power coming from? We're not capable of the kind of love that we're asked to have for our brothers and ourselves unless we first know we are loved by God.Closing PrayerFather, we spend so much time trying to improve our lives so that you will love us. It is precisely the opposite. Anything that we can do in our life that makes it better is the result of what you first done for us. Bless us with the gift of knowing your love. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4554897/advertisement

GospelMark 12:1-12 Jesus began to speak to the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and left on a journey. At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants to obtain from them some of the produce of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent them another servant. And that one they beat over the head and treated shamefully. He sent yet another whom they killed. So, too, many others; some they beat, others they killed. He had one other to send, a beloved son. He sent him to them last of all, thinking, 'They will respect my son.' But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' So they seized him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come, put the tenants to death, and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read this Scripture passage: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?" They were seeking to arrest him, but they feared the crowd, for they realized that he had addressed the parable to them. So they left him and went away. ReflectionThe teaching of Jesus was radically opposed to the way the temple operated, often with judgment and condemnation. And what Jesus does here is he doesn't attack these men for not seeing. He gives them something to ponder, to wonder about. And they get it. And they weren't attacked. They were simply enlightened. That's the way to work with those who need to see what they don't see. Not to attack them, but to open their minds to a new way of seeing. And it calls upon that core in each one of us that knows the truth. We know who the cornerstone is. We know what life is really for deep inside of us. And Jesus would rather awaken that in us than condemn us. And we're asked to do the same. Closing Prayer Father, when we're with people who disagree with our basic core understanding of life, give us patience and a gentle heart so we can call them gently out of the darkness they're caught in. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4554897/advertisement

Gospel Mark11:11-26Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple area. He looked around at everything and, since it was already late, went out to Bethany with the Twelve. The next day as they were leaving Bethany he was hungry. Seeing from a distance a fig tree in leaf, he went over to see if he could find anything on it. When he reached it he found nothing but leaves; it was not the time for figs. And he said to it in reply, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again!” And his disciples heard it. They came to Jerusalem, and on entering the temple area he began to drive out those selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. He did not permit anyone to carry anything through the temple area. Then he taught them saying, “Is it not written: My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples? But you have made it a den of thieves.” The chief priests and the scribes came to hear of it and were seeking a way to put him to death, yet they feared him because the whole crowd was astonished at his teaching. When evening came, they went out of the city. Early in the morning, as they were walking along, they saw the fig tree withered to its roots. Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” Jesus said to them in reply, “Have faith in God. Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. When you stand to pray, forgive anyone against whom you have a grievance, so that your heavenly Father may in turn forgive you your transgressions.” ReflectionThe reason this story of the fig tree is so important is because it reveals something that Jesus is learning. And what He's learning is how to be the instrument that His father intends Him to be, to transform the world. And when His human anger gets the best of Him, He wants to destroy, not to save. And so it's clear that what He's saying to His disciples by their reflecting on what this all means. He's saying, look I've learned that I cannot save the world by first hating it and wanting to destroy it. And He gives the most amazing advice Don't pray for anyone or anything without first forgiving the person or the situation. Forgiveness is essential to offering grace to another.Closing PrayerFather, you teach us that if we are going to be an instrument of your grace for someone else, we must get past our anger, our resentment, our desire for retaliation. We must always forgive the offense, the offender, and then pray for transformation. And we ask this In Jesus' name, AmenThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4554897/advertisement

Gospel Mark10:28-31 Peter began to say to Jesus, 'We have given up everything and followed you." Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come. But many that are first will be last, and the last will be first.” ReflectionThe disciples in this passage have just witnessed Jesus tell a rich man that he should give away all that he has, and he walks away, depressed, disillusioned. He's a perfect example of the way many people saw God and maybe still see God, as someone that you try to win favor from them by doing something for Him, doing what He tells you to do. But the truth is that's not salvation. Salvation is not about you doing something for God. It's allowing God to do something for you that you can't do. Rearranging your entire relationship with yourself in the world. And everyone around you. It's letting go of the way in which an ego and a will can run your life versus allowing God to transform and awaken something in you that is not about you, but about something greater than you. Closing PrayerFather, free us from earning anything from you. We tend to think we can please you by doing the right thing. You're not interested in so much what we're doing. As much as you are interested in changing how we do what we do, why we do what we do. Open us to your transforming grace and let us feel your power, not our egos. Leading us into places of service. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4554897/advertisement

Gospel John19:25-34 Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I thirst.” There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.” And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit. Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and they be taken down. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately Blood and water flowed out.ReflectionThe horrible image of the crucifixion of Jesus is filled with hope. We are learning something about sin, about what it does, what it can do. And yet, even though evil thinks it can destroy that which is true, that which is good, it can't. And I love the image of Jesus in this passage saying so clearly. I have come into the world so that I could fulfill everything that was planned for me. That was predicted for me. And when he did that, he could say, Now I know I am finished. But He no sooner says that He is finished, that his chest is broken open, and out pours life cleansing water lifeblood. It's an image we have to hold within us, knowing that this is what we've received. And this is what gives us hope. Closing PrayerFrom the stories that you have given us God, of your son, who represents who you are to us. We've been given example after example what it means to follow you. But the beauty of what we are promised overshadows the struggles of our living in this world, as you call us to. And we are filled with this image of life giving blood and purifying water. Keep us in this hope that all the sufferings that we might encounter are opportunities for growth. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4554897/advertisement

GospelJohn 21:15-19After Jesus had revealed himself to his disciples and eaten breakfast with them, he said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" Simon Peter answered him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs." He then said to Simon Peter a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Simon Peter answered him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me.”ReflectionThe image of the Good Shepherd is an image of the way Jesus has worked in the world and how we are to work in the world. We are to feed and to tend. In feeding is to give them information, to reveal the truth as is revealed through Christ. But there's also the work of tending. And tending is different than teaching. It's a way of being close to listening to where someone is so that we know where their pain is and what they need to know and what they don't know. And then we continue to feed. It's a beautiful image of the way God works with us, and the way we're invited to work with each other.Closing PrayerFather, there's no way that we can share your message with those that we love without entering fully into their experience of their life. Give us an openness, a nonjudgmental spirit as we listen to each other and learn where we struggle and learn how to speak the word of God to that struggle. It's a gift you've given us. It's a responsibility we have to use that gift for the good of those around us. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4554897/advertisement

The term “hustle” or “hustler” has varied in its meaning over the years. Once as referring to perhaps shady business practices, then to a badge of honor, and currently is viewed as a workaholic. Anti-hustle culture emerged as a result of the pandemic, and in today's episode I share some guidance on how to opt out of the “hustle” conversation and how to opt in to living the life and having the career that you desire most.In today's episode, we cover:The evolution of the term “hustle”Who is the “corporate bragger”?My moment of reflectionThe difference between hustle culture and anti-hustle cultureHow to shift the paradigm in businessCelebrating the value, not the sacrificeFor more support on the tactics shared in this episode you can check out these free resources:5 Minutes to a Purposeful Day: https://freebiesmelissafranks.ck.page/ec4360449dFoolproof Guide to a Successful Monday: https://freebiesmelissafranks.ck.pageConnect with me:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/melissa_franks/Work with me: www.melissafranks.com/offersFree resources: https://www.melissafranks.com/freebies

Join Msgr. Don Fischer as he reads and delivers a short reflection on today's gospel, followed by 3 1/2 minutes of contemplative music and a closing prayer. Msgr. Don hopes that today's reflection on the gospel will empower you to carry the Word in your heart throughout the day.Gospel Luke 5:27-32 Jesus saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the customs post. He said to him, "Follow me." And leaving everything behind, he got up and followed him. Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were at table with them. The Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?" Jesus said to them in reply, "Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners." ReflectionThe beautiful image in this reading is the image of Jesus as a doctor, as a physician. And the interesting thing to me about that is the way you imagine the role of a doctor in your life. You don't go to a doctor to be condemned or judged. You go to them to be healed. And you believe that the doctor has either some knowledge that will be helpful or some advice that will be good for you that will bring you to health. What a different view we can have of God. God a judge or God a physician. Jesus is God incarnate. We see a dimension of God that is so attractive. Our God is like a doctor, and what he longs for over all else is giving us a way to health, wholeness and life.The Closing PrayerFather, your gift to us is grace your presence within us, and we believe with all our hearts that when we open ourselves to that gift, it is a healing balm, a wonderful medicine that lifts us out of the disease that we often get caught in. Help us to trust in your healing presence and healing power. Amen.

On today's show, we will continue to the second part of a double episode on Leadership Lessons from the Lewis Clark Expedition. I brought back Jeff Ton to continue the story of the Corps of Discovery and their incredible journey of exploration in the American West in the early 1800s.Last week, we talked about how the expedition had traveled up Missouri and spent their first winter at Fort Mandan on the Great Plains.
