Philippians 3:1-111. Reminds yourself of some things, v. 1-2“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.”-Proverbs 18:212. Define Christianity biblically, v. 2-3A Christian is someone who's life is characterized by three things…a) worship by the Spirit of Godb) glory in Christ Jesusc) put no confidence in the flesh“For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.”-Romans 2:28-293. Let the Gospel change what you value, v. 4-11Mental worship…What do you need to remind yourself about today?Is there anything in your life that is losing its value because of the Gospel?Do you speak more life or death when you open your mouth?What questions do you have as a result of what you heard today?

Trade on an awesome mobile interface fee-free, and still get all the great portfolio tracking features you know and love: https://uponly.tv/ftxShow NotesCrypto Intro– Started off as a professional poker player– Then was working as a trader– Was in San Francisco during 2016, impossible not to hear about crypto– Was trading bonds and gold– Then went 80/20 gold/bitcoin, then 50/50, now just 100% Bitcoin– Gold is just always $1800 lolDOGE Debate– @gametheorizing debated Su Zhu on if Doge could be real money– main take – the centralization of ownership just makes it impossible– Liquidity has been a huge reason for these meme run upsLiquidity– Low liquidity changes everyones hopes– Once we're in a bear market, everything will likely make more sense as low liquidity drives shitcoins way down– There will be backlash to extreme wealth inequality that's created from crypto wealth– Like trillionaires based off of a new internet will not sit well with peopleCobie Wealth Talk– Humans create more wealth over time– Bitcoin creates a fixed supply of money– In the end, won't people be incentivized to not work or invest and just hold?– game: “Cobie is absolutely right, in the end we'll likely get something like inflation around 2%. Bitcoin will have to change”– game: “We have a saying in poker that a sucker will soon be parted from his money”– Cobie: “It may be a bit cynical but I feel like wealth always centralizes”– game: “You're absolutely right. The wealth inequality is huge now and its growing. Something's going to have to change”Regulation– Ledger: “It would be simpler if you could “call a spade a spade” and let these tokens be a security if that's their best use case, instead of making founders pigeon hole their tokens utility into something that makes less sense”2022 Theses– game: “If you have any dog coins you should sell them”– “Come January we still have a bit more of a bull run”– “Only time the bull run stops is when there's no more QE, rates get raised, which is maybe later next year”– so basically all this money gets sucked out, rates go up and holding cash feels better than it does now– The mid tier NFTs are not keeping a bidPonzis– Back when this started, people would say “Bitcoin's a ponzi”– Some things are more ponzi than others– Basically, need real value creation for something to not be a “ponzi”– Cobie: “Can you explain how OHM works?”– game: “OHM is also a ponzi. The tokenomics is much more complex which hides it, so like it was a ponzi but now holds all these other coins”– Ledger: “Is governance enough?”– game: “absolutely”– Cobie: “Can you explain how HEX works?”– game: “HEX was ahead of its time. It's a very complex ponzi.”– Cobie: “If you are early to a ponzi then its great right… what would you say to people joining ponzis now?”– game: “in a liquidity crunch, the ponzis go away, and they get closer to NAV valuation. There is real value in community and people will pay for that, so that's an end game for some of them. Same with NFTs”Web3– Feels like there are a bunch of random VCs coming up– You don't just “decentralize” everything like “decentralized Uber”– game thinks we get something more like web2.5 where celebrities and others start using NFTs as pfps and stuff– game: “crypto is the best casino. Like we have Bitcoin store of value, L1s with smart contracts, then casinos”– Web3 is kinda like companies just having tokens to incentivize and provide rewards– game: “Once you have an NFT world where you can use them it's not a ponzi anymore”– Ledger: “Tokenization of communities, with VIP access and other stuff, is a good use of tokens and NFTs”Trading– Ledger: “There are people for whom this year has been absolutely stupid, just chasing the pump, marrying now bags and not holding any Bitcoin”– Shitcoins up or down by end of 2022?– Cobie: “idk. if it tops in march or may then maybe up, if it tops in january then probably down”Scenario That Extends Cycle?– realistically probably not– will likely trickle down to smaller caps– only thing that pushes it is if Fed keeps printing/ rates lowCT Drama– Su Zhu super dunking on Ethereum then buying it, using followers as liquidity, basically become a super villain – is this a pro or con for Three Arrows Capital?– game: “Completely depends on founders. Reminds me of Bobby Axelrod on Billions”Feds in Crypto– game talked with Su Zhu in depth about future of ETH if it was a $10T asset– it will become very political, countries forcing votes that benefits them, etc– only makes sense Feds are in crypto now lolETH as Money– Who cares what you call it?– The “ultra sound money” meme is awful– Why would you want deflationary money?– *insert various examples of why it doesn't matter if you call it money e.g. if you buy a million dollar house is your house money? who cares!End Game of USD?– It's honestly super strong– If there's no geopolitical power change it just stays in controlBlow Off Top?– Thought there was gonna be one– Used to be 60% chance, now more like 20% chanceNotes by KevinMusic by GiovanniPickle

Marty brings another great Bible lesson to the airwaves and clearly suggestion instead of watching Yellowstone maybe read the good book.

“Waiting on God” Acts 1:4-11 1. Requires Trust Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” “Trust” = a bold, confident, sure security in the promises of God in all circumstances. 2. Reminds us that God is in control Psalm 130:5-6 “5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope…” A. Waiting reminds me that I am not in charge B. Waiting reminds me that I am not God 3. Allows God to work in us A. God's timing is best. Habakkuk 2:3 “…Though it delays, wait for it, since it will certainly come and not be late" B. God is working in your waiting. Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…”. 4. Increases our strength Isaiah 40:30 "…but those who trust in the LORD will renew their strength...” Trae Bordelon Connections Pastor BETHEL CHURCH 22621 SE H K Dodgen Loop Temple, TX 76502 (P) 254.778.3126 | (F) 254.778.4009 3 Trae Bordelon Thu, Dec 2, 10:36 AM (4 days ago) to me “Waiting on God” Acts 1:4-11: “On one occasion, while Jesus was eating with the disciples, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” 6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven. Waiting: the confident, disciplined, expectant, active, and sometimes painful clinging to God. 1. Requires Trust Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” “Trust” = a bold, confident, sure security in the promises of God in all circumstances. 2. Reminds us that God is in control Psalm 130:5-6: “I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.6 I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.” A. Waiting reminds me that I am not in charge B. Waiting reminds me that I am not God 3. Allows God to work in us A. God's timing is best. Habakkuk 2:3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not be late. B. God is working in your waiting. Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose”. 4. Increases our strength Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

Greetings Gunn Runner Is Black Friday an ethical holiday? Overcoming fear is the theme of a new song inspired by the hobbit. Top 10 songs on Spotify. It's all on my monthly update, Celtfather Unkilted, show #287. The podcast is brought to you by my amazing Patrons in the Gunn Runners Club on Patreon. I have some new subscribers, and I hope to make this an even more important part of my general promotion in the weeks ahead. 0:42 - SHOWS PLANNED FOR THE COMING MONTH DEC 1: Coffee with The Celtfather @ 11 AM EST DEC 5: Grant Park Farmer's Market @ 9 AM - Noon DEC 8: Coffee with The Celtfather @ 11 AM EST DEC 15: Season 9 Finale Coffee with The Celtfather @ 11 AM EST DEC 16: Celtfather Live @ 7 PM EST 1:14 - MUSINGS: The Ethics of Black Friday I'm pretty confident that you know all about Black Friday. Now, we also have Cyber Monday. These are two days when people open up their wallets and many businesses offer HUGE discounts. I confess I am very torn by those holidays. On the one hand, I have my own business. CD sales are still one of the big ways I make money. My Patreon needs to be twice what it is for me to remove my dependence on CD and merch sales. On the other hand is consumerism. We create so much waste. I'm not even gonna go into what that waste does to our environment and its effect on climate change. One of the things I love about the new digital revolution is I can potentially create music and make a living without adding to the waste. One day I hope to sell out all my CDs. Then I will just release them on a limited basis, for those who truly love the media. My storage shelves will be mostly empty. The Christmas holiday doesn't help. It's all about spending. It bothered me a lot more back in the 90s when I first heard about Buy Nothing Day. That day was created in response to the consumerism. It's on the very same day as Black Friday. "Don't buy" is the message. Back around 2001, it became possible to accept credit cards at gigs. But at the time, I was $15K in debt. All because of MY irresponsible use of credit cards. It got me questioning. Should I accept credit card payments...and potentially have you, my customer, go into debt because of my products? Eventually, I decided you should be responsible for yourself. But at the same time is that cop out? This is one of those ethical dilemmas. I was talking recently with people about ethics in healthcare. The question was raised: should a parent have full control of their child's healthcare? Do they know what's best for their child? The quick answer is yes. I know what's best for my daughters. But that comes from my privileged, fairly healthy family background. A parent who is strung out on drugs, sick, or poor or in abusive relationship. They might not be healthy enough to do what is best for their child. There are so many nuances. There isn't one right answer. It's each different for each person. My biggest complaint with corporations is that in order to be successful, they need to do what will make the most-profit for their business. That sounds reasonable. They should be allowed to make money freely, without government interference. That is until you realize that they can dump sewage into our water, poison our air, and destroy our environment. They can murder people and not be culpable. Because they are a business. The actions of the business will not financially impact the owners of that business. Reminds of McDonalds: "Would you like to Supersize that?" That phrase made them boatloads of money. The cost was the increased obesity of their customers. It took regulations to stop them from using that simple sales phrase. Sure it made them more money. But was it ethical? We are all manipulated by businesses trying to make a buck. That's why Black Friday changed from businesses saying, "Huh. We get a lot more sales on the day after Thanksgiving" to "Let's capitalize on that and start a holiday!" I decided not to do a Black Friday sale this year. I thought about it. And I plan to put together a sale on my website soon. I'm not abandoning sales altogether. But I'm torn. If nothing else, I think it's important to think about what's right. The ethics of sales. Just because you think it's fine. Doesn't mean it's ethically right. It could be. But think about it.

Welcome to the latest episode of the Spurs News podcast where this week Sam and Matt go off on one... to be honest this is all my fault... you see every show I have a rough running order so we stay on topics and try to cover as much as we can but this week I was lazy and we completely just talked and waffled, hence the word ramble in the title. Hopefully its funny though; I know I laughed a few times... which is always a worry when you laugh at your own jokes.. hell I laugh at my jokes that I type in here most of the time too, mostly as I am convinced no one ever reads any of it. Did you know if you look along the left on some of our podcast blurbs you can see I have made the letters spell out bad words.. yep... 39... I am 39... where you at ladies... Reminds me of the time on my CV I described myself as Charismatic, Unconventional, Never-Thrown .... no one noticed that either. ANYWAY this week we ramble on all sorts of things and most of it is related to Spurs - we also try and flog more Manscaped products; the advert for that is around the 30 minute mark for those hoping to skip it... which you should not, in fact you should pause what you are doing and visit Manscaped.Com right now and put your balls first... and if you are someone reading this without balls then think of someone else and their balls.. its nearly Christmas and nothing says ho ho ho quite like here is something to shave your balls...

All of the teachingsare met within this zazen:pure meditation!* * *In the last segment we ended with Keizan's discussion of the Precepts, the true ones that go beyond mental characterization. These are the manifest Precepts, that do not depend upon our practice. They are natural, and universal. Such constructions as, “Do not kill,” “Do not steal,” and “Do not lie” become statements of the truth — that actually, the universe that gives us birth is that which actually ends life, and we cannot even own anything, let alone steal it. We cannot actually tell the truth, no matter how erudite, or glib, our speech. These, of course, are absolutist views of the Precepts, which also have relative meaning. In this segment we will continue with what the master says about the remaining two “aspects of spiritual training” he mentions. Beginning with mindfulness:“Mindfulness” is the observing that there is nothing that is in excess. When seated in pure meditation, we let go of “body and mind,” abandon “delusion and enlightenment.” We are unchanging, immovable, unwillful, impervious. We are like a simpleton or a legless man. We are like a mountain or an ocean: no trace of “movement versus stillness” has yet arisen. When mindful, there is no fixed state of things. Short and sweet, but comprehensive. Reminds again of Hsinshinming, “The Way is perfect like vast space — nothing lacking, nothing in excess.” Compare with the modern take on mindfulness, from the pop meditation of the same name, meaning “being in the moment.” In our anxiety- and uncertainty-ridden society, just being able to be in the moment for a moment or two, rather than obsessively ruminating over the past, or planning for the future, is certainly welcome. However, it does not begin to answer the question, Mindful of what? Keizan's abbreviated answer is meant to focus like a laser on one key point, but we would be prone to include mindfulness of the Four Noble truths and other central teachings of Buddha. However, his main point here is that we should also not obsess over these teachings, as such. After all, they are only pointing at the reality in front of our face. Which has nothing extra, nothing truly separate, in mokurai, the complementarity of movement and stillness. He takes a similarly blunt approach to defining wise discernment:“Wise discernment” is being selective within enlightened awareness. When seated in pure meditation, what is intellectually known spontaneously vanishes and self-consciousness is discarded. Your whole being's Eye of Discernment possesses no “specialized insight”: It clearly sees Buddha Nature and is, from the first, not deluded.Keizan uses this kind of expression, “from the first,” repeatedly. We will find Hakuin Zenji starting off his Song of Zazen with “From the beginning…” This captures the meaning of “refuge” in Zen — having the connotation of returning to the safe place from which we originated. It has all been like a bad dream, but we are the authors of that dream, and when we wake up, everything will be okay with us. The rest of the baggage that we carry with us — delusion, and the intellectual ramblings and self-centered striving that result — fall away. The emphasis on spontaneity means that this is not something we can do intentionally, but it can happen. Before launching into another litany of practical things like seeking a “good, quiet place,” a thick cushion, avoiding “mist, smoke, or fog” and “rain and dew,” keeping “your sitting place neat and clean,” et cetera, and repeating some of the prior instructions, he delves again into more specifically mental, or better, counter-mental, techniques:This is the technique for meditating: Let go of, and abandon, awareness of thoughts; put to rest looking at mental fancies and images. Do not devise some notion of what “realizing Buddha-hood” is. Do not let right and wrong control you. Act as if you were saving your head which was ablaze!Here we are hearing echoes of Dogen, for sure. Again, the “hair-on-fire” expression may have been a common trope in this period, much as it is currently. The “…give up even the idea of becoming a Buddha” is, again, pure Dogen. It begins to look like this document may have been a result of someone taking notes, or writing down a spontaneous talk given by Keizan Zenji to an audience. It has that kind of character, of jumping from point to point, and being careful to remember and transmit some of the golden nuggets he had inherited from the newly-developing legacy of Dogen's lineage. Many of the passages sound like direct quotes, perhaps paraphrased, and morphed in translation, from various of Dogen's written teachings, which have a more structured feel. Keizan is either quoting or channeling Dogen's Jijuyu Zammai when he says:Do not get involved with the burning of incense, the making of bows, the reciting of the Buddha's name, the undergoing of some penitential ritual, the reading of Scriptures, the holding on to a daily work schedule: just sitting, without “doing” anything, is what you should aim at above all.This does not strike me as the kind of advice and encouragement to a kind of indolence that the parents of the young monks in Keizan's charge would approve. But with a couple of notable exceptions, it seem lifted verbatim from his predecessor. It is notable that in the first line to Jijuyu Zammai, “practice” is the only thing that Dogen mentions and does not repeat in the following two lines, which seem to refute the first. Don't take my word for it, check it out. Practice transcends the relative, absolute, and even the nondual Buddha Way, whereas “…delusion and realization…birth and death…buddhas and sentient beings,” the other binaries recited as examples, apparently do not. “Practice, practice, practice!” sayeth the Preacher.Next, another whiplash:As a general practice, when doing seated meditation, you should put on your kesa. (Remove it in the dark before dawn and at dusk, as you come out of the meditation state.) Do not omit this.He segues instantly from recommending against following traditional protocols to insisting on wearing the formal robe. The kesa, for the uninitiated, is the quilt-like outer robe, which is typically donned at the beginning of zazen, and removed after. This seeming contradiction may be resolved by a sober analysis of what else the average monk would have available to wear, other than the robe, which can hide a lot of sins. The three undergarments in usage today — the juban, or undershirt, with some sort of boxer shorts; and the kimono and koromo, the Japanese and Chinese under-robes, respectively; may not have been universally in vogue. We do have to keep up appearances, to some degree.There are some deep-dive details noted in the text that may be of importance to scholars and historians, another reason I suspect that this may have been recorded from a live presentation in the zendo, or lecture hall. Before going into boilerplate instructions for the posture, one mention by the master I think is useful to clarify some confusion that arises yet today:Whilst on your mat… do not always sustain the cross-legged, “lotus” sitting position; range from a half-lotus position to, later, sitting with your feet under your spine. This is the method of sitting of the Buddhas and Ancestors: sometimes to do full lotus, sometimes half-lotus.This is different from Dogen's written record, but may have been characteristic of his live instructions. Remember that Keizan was born only 15 years after Dogen's demise, so his teachers had lived with and learned from the great founder in person. Note the admonition, more than a mere suggestion, to “not always sustain the cross-legged” position. This will come as a relief to many contemporary practitioners, who have been told that they must assume the “correct” posture, and heaven forfend if you should move. Buddha moved. I guaran-damn-tee you, Buddha moved.We recommend rotating through the various postures — over time, not continuously — to develop the requisite flexibility in the lower body, hips, knees, legs and ankles. Also sitting on a chair, including the ergonomic kind. Zen is always contemporary, as Matsuoka Roshi insisted. There is nothing magical in the lotus posture. It is, simply, more stable than the others, like the proverbial three-legged stool. What follows is familiar enough to those who follow Soto Zen praxis that we can skip it here. However, there are a couple of details that I think worth retelling, separated by more details in the text (italics mine):Next, your should settle down in your sitting placed by swaying your body seven or eight times in ever smaller movements, then steadily sitting erect.When you wish to arise from meditation, first, place your hands respectfully on your knees and sway your body seven or eight times in ever larger movements.This is a small, but not insignificant, improvement over the written instructions in Fukanzazengi, as the “ever smaller” movements in the beginning help us to find the central “sweet spot” in the posture, where we come into equilibrium, or equipoise, with gravity, the most efficient and effortless proprioception. The “ever larger” pendulum moves at the end of the session likewise loosen the musculature, especially the lotus-position base, allowing us to rise without strain. This set of moves is most often forgotten by many contemporaries, but makes the approach to zazen more like any other physical exercise.Keizan goes on to give similar instructions when rising and beginning walking meditation, when sleepy, and for breathing while walking, which he treats as an antidote to sleepiness, none of which I recall from Dogen's documentation. Doesn't mean they weren't there, but Keizan's emphasis does seem to be on some other syllables. Included in the advice for kinhin is the nugget:Although you are walking, do it as though you are not walking: be calm and tranquil, and do not thrash your body about.The last thing anyone who has done kinhin would associate with it, I think, is thrashing your body about. This rather comic image may reflect the young age at which some of the young monks, or unsui, would be sent to the monastery. Walking as if you are not walking is a wonderful idea. Matsuoka Roshi would often say, “Put your whole self into the walking” or “into the sitting. If you can put your whole self into this, you will gain the power to put your whole self into everything you do, and will become the strongest person in the world.” Today we might say that you will become the best version of yourself.I often say that zazen is like “falling asleep staying awake.” In other words, like drifting off to sleep, our natural, busy monkey mind preoccupations tamp down to a dull roar, we begin to lose sensory awareness, maybe even experience sudden vertigo, and in general, lose the turgor associated with normal awakeness and anxiety. But while this process sets in, we stay awake and observe it rather scientifically. Keizan seems to concur, offering some evasive maneuvers to fight off sleep:If drowsiness persists, you should make a vow, saying, “Because my karmic habits are already heavy, I am now shrouded in sleep. When will I awaken from my dark and confused wandering in the mind? I pray that the Buddhas and Ancestors will confer their great compassion on me and remove my dark and heavy suffering.”I suspect that these techniques address what we might recognize as symptoms of sleep deprivation. The dawn-to-dusk design of retreats, and especially the time-honored tradition of sitting up all night on occasion, surely are meant to challenge the circadian rhythm, with notably direct effects on perception. The entreaties to Buddhas and Ancestors we might consider extraneous to this problem, but they tend to remind us that all of our lineage went through privations and self-discipline at least as trying as those we face, in the relative comfort of an environment fueled by electricity and fossil fuels, as well as indoor plumbing. We got no room to complain about our “dark and heavy suffering.”Interestingly for a Soto Zen priest, Keizan also recommends that “If your thoughts are still not at rest, you should call to mind some short koan which your Master has given you to guide you, such as ‘What is It that comes like this?,' ‘A dog's not having Buddha Nature,' ‘Ummon's Mount Sumeru,' Joshu's oak tree,' for instance: ‘bland talk is what meets the need.” So koans were not eschewed entirely in early Soto Zen, even when doing zazen, but were considered relatively bland, not disturbing to equanimity. He also recommends focusing on death to calm the mind, “the great matter where your breathing comes to an end and your eyes close forever.” Or, “focus on the ‘not-yet-born state' before a single thought has arisen. In modern parlance, neither of these images would be considered especially calming. But then he predicts that even “when you are doing your daily activities, you will suddenly give rise to the two types of ‘emptiness' — that of there being no personal self and of there being no permanent self in phenomena — and your scattered thoughts will, without fail, lose their force. Again, seemingly not very soothing.In closing, he brings it home: “Then, what is right before your eyes will be your koan.” Which he rephrases, “At that moment, what the koan is is ‘right before your eyes.'” In between he notes, “You and it will not be ‘two things going around each other.'” Again, the great master seems to be throwing out, at random, all the fingers pointing at the moon that he can muster, in the hopes that one will stick. He ends with “Wholeheartedly do I pray for this; with all my heart do I so pray.” Can I get an amen?* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

Did you know you can just go sign up for a track day and go? I mean, you'll want your car in good mechanical shape, but that's really it. You can just go. Ann Doherty decided after receiving her dream car for her 50th birthday she was going to do just that, and now she is racing a Porsche Cayman GT4 CS.

Are you praying but God is silent? Are you listening but don't hear a thing? Are you searching, seeking, leaning in and just can't seem to find God at all? You are not alone. I'm right there with you. And in this episode I'm going to share with you some of the things I'm learning along the journey.    What is this place? Sometimes this is referred to as what St. John of the Cross called the dark night of the soul, the place where beginners are being led to a place of growth and maturity. God is intentionally taking us from a sweet place in order for us to commune more deeply with Him. St. John of the Cross likens it to a mother who weans a nursing child intentionally so that they can feed on something more substantial.   As St. John of the Cross looked at this process (he was a Spanish mystic from the 1500's, Carmelite monk, a follower of Teresa of Avila) he explained that it was necessary for the soul to go through a purging process in order that the person may be brought into what he called, Divine union of the soul with God. The dark night is an intentional process designed to reveal spiritual imperfections to cleanse us from the things deeply rooted in us that are taking the place of God.    Pete Scazzero refers to this process as journeying through the wall. He also believes that this process is a necessary way that God grows us into mature Jesus followers. And as God brings us to the wall, a place where we are going through difficult things and we can't seem to find Him, God is stripping us of all the things that keep us from Him.   Here's What I'm Learning I lack patience with myself to grow.  I lack patience with God and the ability to wait for Him and what He wants to bring, give, do, when He wants to do it. I pursue the sense, the feelings, feelings of spiritual things, rather than just God.   This hard season:   Is exposing my limited and self-centered perspective. (Underneath the surface there is something that is self serving, self gratifying) Is revealing the things I'm holding on to or striving for or searching for that aren't God. Even godly things can't be a substitute for God himself. Comes from the love of God and His desire to grow us. He is preparing us for the day when Jesus comes again. God wants us to experience the joy of my salvation.  (Philippians 1) Is forming and shaping me so that I would develop Christ-like character and so that I would lack nothing. Is showing me that struggling and suffering are a part of our life with Christ. It's necessary. Reminds me that God is doing something good in me. God knows what's best for me.

Welcome to a SUPER SIZED Hoagie Mouth this week folks! We cover the big three in action - the Sixers, Flyers and Eagles. Kind of the sweet spot this time of year. The Sixers are coming on strong in the early going this year. No Ben? Currently, not a problem. George Niang has his coming out party, and we're here to celebrate it. And then Jeff goes into a slightly impassioned re-assessment of the Simmons Saga. Perhaps there's more than one way of looking at the situation. Can Jeff convince a lawyer? Up next - Jeff tries again to get the crew up to speed on hockey, which unfortunately ends up with a lot of basketball comparisons. But the Flyers reward us with a shut out win over the Coyotes...another strong start for a Philly team early in its season. Last but not least, the "resurgent" Eagles find their inner flower and put a drubbing on the Lions. Can they continue the happy agricultural vibes at home vs the Chargers this weekend? The Long Brothers are headed to the Linc to find out for themselves.

Ryan Blackburn recaps the Denver Nuggets 102-96 victory over the San Antonio Spurs that saw Nikola Jokić dominate at an MVP level. Jokić scored 36 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, dished out 7 assists, and picked up 3 steals and a block for good measure in an all-around exemplary performance against the Spurs. Ryan discusses Jokić, a so-so starting unit, and an improved bench that still has some questions in this latest episode.

This week we start out with Jenny saying Tina's hair reminds her of poop, Tina talks about the Gopher tailgate, Jenny FINALLY got a bedframe, we talk about our favorites on The Bachelorette after the season premiere last night, we reveal what our costumes will be for Boo Cruise, and more!

In this episode, I got to talk to Hip-Hop Artist Kursive, who has dealt with a fair amount of loss all while battling his own demons as well. Having lost his brother as well as a number of friends to addiction and other mental health issues, Kursive has used these tragedy's to propel himself forward. We talk about the importance of gratitude, and the value of being present and truly listening.  Follow Kursive on IG @KURSIVE Check out "Reminds Me Of You" on Soundcloud 

I truly can't express how I feel about SelfWork being alive and well and celebrating its 5th anniversary! I couldn't do it without the listeners, the commenters, those who've emailed, those who've left ratings and reviews, those who listen week after week - or those of you who drop in from time to time. All of you are important, in fact vital. I've never experienced anything like it. And I hopefully humbly want to thank you for showing up. Some weeks are hard than others to pull together an episode. Each one of them takes anywhere from 4 to 6 hours to write and then time to record, send to John Crowley, my audio engineer, for editing. Then he sends it back to me. And I listen again. Then Christine Mathias, my go-to person for so much makes the graphic – sometimes edits what I write for the show notes. Reminds me of some scheduling issue or another. Gets the episodes in the weekly newsletter. Sends that out. It's a true team effort. And I'm so lucky to have these talented people on that team. I thought it would be fun for y'all to hear from them – the guys themselves – John Crowley and Christine Mathias… You will hear their hearts as well… And of course, a huge thank you to our sponsors, BetterHelp and Athletic Greens. Their support has made the podcast much easier and hopefully, both companies have helped you find a better, healthier way to live. So, let's celebrate together! Happy 5th Anniversary!!

Thank you Newsstand Studio at 1 Rockefeller Plaza for providing a place for me to record this episode for y'all! No more Brooklyn closet recording!!! “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”  - Philippians 4: 6 (NIV)   If you are a regular listener, you know that I have struggled with anxiety a lot over the years. I even did a whole Mental Health May series this past year (which you can check out here). Well my anxiety has reared its head again this fall. I can sometimes resent how it takes me away from the moment at hand. My invitation to myself + to you is: What if I/you/we could learn to not resent the discomfort but lean in and trust that my body is resilient. Like Glennon Doyle says, “I can do hard things,”  and I can feel uncomfortable things, pain, grief, nervousness, or anxiety and still feel safe and at home in my body. Lessons From My Therapist You may have heard this verse before: Philippians 4: 6 (NIV)   “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God”   In the King James Version, it says “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Greek “careful”: to be distracted to the point of separation What my therapist explained to me was that anxiety separates you from yourself—because it removes me from the present and gets me to obsess about the future. Out of body. Besides yourself. The goal is to get back into yourself, back in your body. Like with the addict: the moment to focus on isn't necessarily the relapse, but the runway that led them there. The 10 steps before that you took that led you down a path towards anxiety. FOR ME: not eating, well, caffeine, alone time, time with Jesus, moving my body—my body is already on high alert b/c some family stuff going on—so things that normally wouldn't trigger me are activating anxiety—so I need to be extra kind and caring of myself.    Be careful for nothing, BUT “But” is where the answer/help comes in. It's an invitation to try something else. Try these 4 things:   Prayer: In anxiety we're separate from ourselves, God, and others. Prayer reconnects you with God and it INTERRUPTS your disconnection to self. Reminds me I'm not alone and it's not all up to me. This is an ACTIVE way to take your thoughts captive: 2 Cor. 10:15 The invitation of Jesus isn't to BUCK UP + GET OVER IT: it's to let go of the back breaking load: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” - Matthew 11:28-30. The invitation of God isn't to DO more or less of anything. isn't to just NOT do something—whatever it is: anxiety, lie, gossip—no the invitation is to BE.   “Be still + know that I AM God.” - Psalm 46:10     Supplication: Emergent prayer / emergency prayer. AA 12 steps (very familiar to Phil 4:6) We admitted we were powerless over alcohol— that our lives had become unmanageable. Don't do ‘x', BUT PRAY Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore our sanity + SUPPLICATE: GOD HELP ME Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him.   Thanksgiving: GK: Thanking god for things in the past + things yet to come Fear focuses on the worst case scenario. Gratitude focuses on the reality that with God anything is possible. Gratitude reorients my heart from focusing on doom to possibility. Gratitude reminds me that God has shown up for me before + God will do it again.  HABAKKUK 3:2   Lord, I have heard of your fame;     I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day,     in our time make them known;     in wrath remember mercy.   In fear, in dread, in anxiety, in hopelessness, remember hope. Remember possibility. Remember what God did in the past and thank him for it THEN ASK HIM TO DO IT AGAIN.   Requests:  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Emphasis on requests: a polite demand for something due to you—like when you get a reminder to pay your credit card bill. Like they ask you nicely = remind you when it's due. But it's not really a request; it's a polite demand. You have to pay the bill.  Dear God, HELP. Thank you for helping me in the past + I thank you in advance because I know you're going to help me again. That's who you are. Now please give me peace in my body.  Then the verse that follows this 4-step formula is this: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” “Peace” here in the GREEK: to make one; whole, to be put back together.   BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING. PRAY. ASK.  THANK. POLITELY DEMAND. PEACE—then you'll go from separation back to connection—self, god + others.    I don't know about you, but this feels like really beautiful news to me. When I'm in a moment of fear and disconnection: pause. Invite god into the moment. Ask for help. Thank for the past and future. Politely demand! PEACE. Peace is your portion. Peace is your legacy. Even right now, I speak peace over your body, mind, soul, spirit.
