Drama sells in the box office, newsstands, social media feeds and more. It draws an audience because it is interesting. Yet, because drama often plays on relational conflict, it is painful. Because we are relational beings, we unfortunately find ourselves too often on drama's stage. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Craig Stickling peels back the layers of drama and helps us escape its trap. Show Notes: Drama defined: Interesting relational or situational conflict. What is drama's ill effect? It can provoke us to poor behavior. It can divide relationships. What elements does drama play on? Drama draws an audience. Drama grasps for sides to be drawn. Drama is fueled by unregulated emotion. Drama tempts us to be disingenuous about the truth. How do I know if I induce drama? I like the exhilaration of conflict. I like attention. I am easily offended and sensitive. I don't regulate my emotion. How can I calm the drama? Don't gossip. Regulate your emotion. Resist impulsivity for patient, measured responses. Seek the whole truth. Keep healthy boundaries.
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Daniel Offutt from Kingman, AZ. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. You're helping people encounter truth—and wrestle with it honestly. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:27-30: And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer me.” — Mark 11:27-30 The religious leaders confront Jesus again—this time with a loaded question. Here it is: “By what authority are you doing these things?” They aren't curious. They're calculating. This isn't about truth—it's about control. Jesus had turned their tables. He had called out and shut down extortion in the temple. He had exposed their spiritual hollowness. Now they're demanding credentials. But Jesus doesn't answer directly. Instead, he asks his own question about another man who came before him, John the Baptist: “Was his baptism authority from heaven or from man?” It's brilliant. Because their response to John reveals everything about their posture toward truth. If they say John's ministry was authorized from heaven, they know Jesus will say, “Then why didn't you believe him?” If they say it was authority from man, they'll lose their influence over the crowd. So they dodge the question altogether. Sometimes people ask spiritual questions, but not to get answers. They ask to stall. To spin their version of the truth. To stay in control because they resist surrender. And we do this, too, when we question God's timing. His Word. His commands. But deep down, it's not always a question of gaining understanding—it's about resisting total surrender. The truth is: Jesus has authority. Over all belief. Over all morality. Over all future. Over all life and death, whether you like his authority or not. So the real question isn't: “Who gave Jesus all this authority?” It's: Will you submit to the authority he already has? Jesus, we submit to you again today. Amen. #JesusIsLord, #AuthorityOfChrist, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why were the religious leaders really questioning Jesus? What does Jesus' counter-question reveal about their hearts? Where are you resisting God's authority in your life right now? What would it look like to submit to Jesus fully today? DO THIS: Ask God to expose any area of your life where you're questioning, not out of hunger, but out of hesitation to obey. PRAY THIS: Jesus, you don't need my permission to have authority. You already have it. So help me stop resisting and start surrendering. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Forever Reign."
We discuss the main goals of copaganda: narrowing our conception of safety and threat, constantly warning us that those harms are increasing, and telling us that the solution to our fears is more investment in the punishment bureaucracy.

If you know the old saying about Luck being Opportunity meeting Preparation, And then go looking for opportunities first, you may be focusing on the wrong side, For it's the preparation that reveals the opportunities, and causes their activation Of all the luck you couldn't see before because you hadn't yet hit your stride. [full text below] Ep. 411 - Happy Preparation We begin as always with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy, in Balance and Growth, of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! If you know the old saying about Luck being Opportunity meeting Preparation, And then go looking for opportunities first, you may be focusing on the wrong side, For it's the preparation that reveals the opportunities, and causes their activation Of all the luck you couldn't see before because you hadn't yet hit your stride. One thing you can do to prepare is build your emotional intelligence--your mood intellect, Like, when things get stressful--How do you react? Do you rage, cry, and complain? Or are you able to take a breath, stay calm, reevaluate, and then redirect Your efforts and intentions, so you can find a way through instead of focusing on the pain. I get frustrated. I get mad. I sometimes want to slap a fool for being so unkind, but that just adds more Meanness to the world, and I prefer to keep things Nice-- I acknowledge it to myself, and then dismiss it from my mind, --Resist worrying about anything not worth the mental sacrifice. And if you find it hard to tap into your inner feelings, then look at it another way-- Don't think of it as being weird or soft, but instead as a way to build your agility. If you can keep your emotions from scaring or controlling you, then you won't fall prey, And will, instead, be able to regulate your own moods with artful ability. When you get upset at someone and they don't take it seriously--doesn't that make you mad? You wonder why you can't affect their mood, and that they must be very tranquil and wise, To be self-regulated like that, deciding when they want to be mad, sad or even glad, --The more familiar you are with your own moods, the easier it is to spot their compelling lies. They tell you that the madder you get, the more triumphant the release of righteous indignation, The sadder you get, the deeper the connection you'll have with yourself and humanity, The gladder you get, the more power you can tap into for higher levels of operation, But sometimes you just feel bothered, down, or manic trying to maintain your sanity. If you keep letting the world determine your extremes, then you might not return, That's why you need to practice control of your emotions for every situation, Opportunities for Balance and Growth will reveal themselves as you learn, Boosting confidence, and that all begins with Happy Preparation.

Neste episódio do "Watch Party", falamos com Gabriela Barros sobre o riso como forma de rebeldia, resistência e até terapia. A atriz partilha experiências em projetos como "Taskmaster", "Pôr do Sol" e "Ruído", e defende como a comédia, o improviso e o espírito de equipa tornam tudo mais leve (e divertido, claro). Spoiler: rir junta pessoas e pode mesmo ser o melhor remédio.

What does it really mean to submit to God? In this powerful and honest message from James 4, Pastor Suzie Genin explores the call to submit to God, resist the devil, and draw near to Him. In a culture that prizes independence and self-promotion, Scripture invites us into a better way—a surrendered life under the authority and goodness of Jesus. Through practical insight, personal reflection, and biblical truth, this sermon breaks down how submission and humility aren't signs of weakness, but the pathway to spiritual authority, freedom, and transformation. When we align ourselves with God's Word and resist the lies of the enemy, we begin to walk in the bold, Spirit-filled life we were created for. If you're searching for a church in Madison, WI that values the Word of God, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and authentic community, we invite you to join us at Chapel Valley Church. This sermon answers: 1. What does it mean to submit to God in a culture of independence? 2. How do we actively resist the devil and recognize spiritual deception? 3. Why does humility unlock freedom and deeper intimacy with God?
When we focus on the temptation we are not resisting the one who is tempting us. Jesus was resisting the devil not the "rock."

Lovey shares how acceptance of something you are resisting can shift you closer to manifesting your desire.
Temptation is real. Life is hard. But God hears and God sees. We can turn and ask Him for the strength we need. And even if we fail or it breaks us, our trust is ultimately in God. He will restore us, either on this side of eternity or the other. Praise God all the more. 1 Peter 5:6-11 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.Following Jesus and enjoying life are not mutually exclusive. Let's connect to learn more about how that can look in your own life.Let's connect on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or LinkedIn!

AgriDigital is transforming the agricultural supply chain through its connected grain management platform that digitizes the traditionally manual, paper-driven grains industry. With $20 million in funding, the company has built a single source of truth platform where buyers and sellers collaborate on contracts and transactions rather than maintaining separate versions. In this episode of Category Visionaries, Emma Weston, CEO and Co-Founder of AgriDigital, shares insights from her eight-year journey building category-defining technology in one of the world's least digitized industries. Topics Discussed: The challenge of building in agriculture, the world's least digitized industry AgriDigital's evolution from paper replacement to connected platform architecture The strategic decision to focus on hub customers who connect to hundreds of supply chain participants Navigating the shift from growth-at-all-costs to profitability during market changes Why traditional marketing doesn't work in agtech and alternative approaches that do The importance of founder community and authentic customer understanding in agtech GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Target hub customers for network effects: Emma's team identified customers who were connected to 200-500 other participants in the supply chain, creating a hub-and-spoke model. Rather than trying to acquire customers one by one, they focused on central aggregators who naturally brought their network onto the platform. B2B founders in networked industries should map their ecosystem to identify these high-leverage customers who can drive adoption across their entire network. Resist the temptation to rebrand for funding cycles: AgriDigital deliberately chose not to reposition itself as an AI company, fintech, or climate tech despite having elements of each. Emma explained, "I don't feel any need to try and position us and rebrand us as a climate tech company." This focus allowed them to solve actual customer problems rather than funding problems. B2B founders should resist the urge to chase trending categories and instead build deep expertise in their chosen domain. Price increases require customer education, not apology: When AgriDigital needed to become profitable, they had direct conversations with customers about sustainability, explaining that there's "only so much that we can expect investors and others to cross subsidize in the development of this technology." Almost all customers understood and accepted necessary price increases. B2B founders should frame pricing conversations around mutual sustainability rather than apologizing for necessary business decisions. Don't apply other companies' playbooks to unique problems: Emma emphasized that trying to apply lessons from successful companies like Canva was counterproductive: "The only thing we have in common is that they're Australian born as well." Instead, they focused on internal data, hypothesis testing, and small experiments. B2B founders should resist the urge to copy other companies' strategies and instead develop approaches specific to their market and customer base. Build senior teams for complex problems: During COVID, AgriDigital chose to hire "a smaller, more senior team rather than numerous employees that are more junior." This decision reflected their realization that complex, first-of-their-kind problems require experienced judgment rather than junior execution. B2B founders tackling novel problems should prioritize experience over headcount, especially when building in uncharted territory. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In dieser Folge widmen sich Laura und Özge der Protestbewegung Femen. Sie haben dafür den Film „Oxana – Mein Leben für Freiheit“ angeschaut, der das Leben von Oxana Schatschko beleuchtet. Ihr Fazit: Femen war weder nur gut noch nur schlecht, sondern ein Beispiel für die Widersprüche feministischer Kämpfe. Laura und Özge denken darüber nach, wie wir heute Protest gestalten, ohne andere Frauen zu bevormunden – und wo die Grenzen radikaler Sichtbarkeit liegen.Gewinnt 2 KinoticketsIhr wollt 2 Kinotickets für „Oxana – Mein Leben für Freiheit“ gewinnen?

Good morning! Join us this morning as Pastor Josh speaks on "No Room for Enemies: Jesus' Radical Call to Love." How are Christians called to respond to hatred and hostility? In today's message, we explore one of Jesus' most challenging teachings from the Bible: loving your enemies, praying for those who persecute you, and overcoming evil with good. Pastor Josh unpacks passages from Matthew, Luke, Romans, and more to reveal how Jesus redefined relationships, urging us to reject retaliation and instead embrace spiritual warfare against the true enemy—Satan, not people.

What does The Lord of the Rings teach us about self-denial? In this episode of Classical Et Cetera, the team explores the virtue of temperance—what it is, why it matters, and how it's portrayed in literature. From Frodo's resistance to the Ring to Peter Rabbit's disobedience and Lassie's heart-wrenching goodbye, we unpack how stories shape our understanding of restraint. Drawing from classical and Christian thought, we examine how temperance forms character and helps us live rightly ordered lives.

Today I want to focus on how Jesus suffered and how He faced that suffering andwhat we can learn from His example. Peter 2:19-24 tells us: For to this you were called, because Christalso suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceitfound in His mouth"; who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return;when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judgesrighteously; Thisshould teach us that Jesus has given us an example and that we should follow inHis steps concerning His suffering. When He was reviled, He reviled not again.He did not open His mouth. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter. How can wedeal with suffering? I think first we must understand that suffering is a factof life. There is no way to avoid suffering in this world. It's all a part ofthe original sin curse. The curse that came upon Adam and all the fallencreatures, you and I. And we are going to face in this world tribulation andsuffering. It doesn't matter whether we're a believer or not a believer.Suffering is a fact of life. It's going to be there. Buthow can we face it? How can we deal with it? It comes in so many differentforms: physically, mentally, emotionally, with all the abuse today that goes onin our families, in our world, it's there. So, how do we deal with it? What canwe learn from Jesus. How did Jesus endure His suffering? Here you see them accusingHim. They're mocking Him. They're striking Him, blindfolded Him, and justtotally knocking Him around and speaking blasphemous things against Him, itsays. And then they say, "If You're the Christ, tell us." But He saidto them, "If I tell you, you won't believe." And He said, "Also,if I ask you, you'll by no means answer Me or let Me go." Andthen Jesus makes this statement here: “Hereafter the Son of Man will sit onthe right hand of the power of God.". This statement reveals how Jesusfaced His suffering. Hebrews 12:1-3 tells us that “we are to look untoJesus, the author, the finisher of our faith. Who for the joy that was setbefore Him, He endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at theright hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such hostility fromsinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.” Inthe midst of our suffering we look to Jesus, as He's going through thissuffering, going through this rejection, going through this physical pain atthis point, what does He do? He looks to the time He'll receive the glory ofthe Father's throne. He'll be seated next to Him. And for the joy of sittingnext to the Father and seeing the fruit of His suffering in the salvation ofmillions and millions and millions of redeemed souls, He endures the suffering.He faces it. He goes through it. He accepts it. Nowmy friend, that's how we do it. We look forward. The Bible says in Romans 8:18,“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to becompared to the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Peter later wouldwrite about it in 1 Peter 5:9-11: “Resist him (the devil), steadfast in thefaith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood inthe world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory byChrist Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen,and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” Yes,it is after our suffering, that we are prepared for the glory of God. We lookpast the suffering to the time there will be no more suffering. Oh, what a hopewe have because of Jesus Christ. And we'll be seated with Him in heavenlyplaces. I trust these thoughts will encourage you as you think about our Saviorand the example He set for us. Godbless!
More 20,000 people arrived in the UK in the first half of this year by crossing the English Channel in small boats. That figure is up 48 percent on the first six months of 2024. The number is especially high at this time of year, because of the warm summer weather and calmer waters. Efforts to crack down on illegal immigration will be among the issues discussed this week as French President Emmanuel Macron makes a state visit to the UK. French police face resistance from migrants determined to complete the last step in the journey, and reach the UK.

Patrick Lencioni: The 6 Types of Working Genius Patrick Lencioni is founder and president of The Table Group, a firm dedicated to protecting human dignity in the world of work, personal development, and faith. Pat is the author of twelve best-selling books with over seven million copies sold. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team remains a national best-seller and he's also the author of The 6 Types of Working Genius: A Better Way to Understand Your Gifts, Your Frustrations, and Your Team. Many of us have heard the invitation from Jim Collin's book _Good to Great_ to get the right people on the bus. But once the right people are on the bus, how to do you find the right seat for each person? On this episode, Pat and I discuss how to utilize the Working Genius model to find the right work for the right team members. Key Points When addressing burnout, the type of work someone does is more significant than the volume of work. Three stages of work are present for almost every team: ideation, activation, and implementation. A cup of coffee in an excellent thermos can stay hot an entire day — that's true of us when we're aligned with our working geniuses. Finding the right work for a team member is far easier than finding the right person culturally. Before you look elsewhere, be sure they are in the right seat. To fill gaps in your team's geniuses, you can hire, borrow, or find people where competence will suffice for now. Resist the temptation to immediately jump to hiring.

What do you do when someone wounds you—and you're left with the fallout?Steven Lee shares a raw, personal story of betrayal and loss, wiring nearly all his savings to a scam artist, and how that wound could have shaped his story. But instead of staying stuck in pain or lashing out in revenge, Steven takes us to the cave with David in 1 Samuel 24, where we learn three ways to respond when life wounds us deeply: Resist the Drift, Respond with Honor, and Release the Outcome to God.This message isn't just about being hurt. It's about who we're becoming in the process. Steven walks through the tension of wanting payback vs. choosing restraint, trusting God even when the outcome doesn't make sense, and how God uses our lowest moments to build something stronger in us. When pain tries to define us, faith gives us a better script. You don't have to throw the spear.
This episode is a combination of several stories. You can learn more about salvation, sharing your faith and being strong in God's Word with these comic book, cartoon families! Here's a clue about one of the stories: “Wherever evil raises its ugly head, there is a beacon of hope for mankind. There is one family willing to stand and fight, restoring peace to humanity. The secret of their strength is James 4:7, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” Who are these ambassadors of good will?

Speaker: Adam GodshallSeries: JosephText: Genesis 50Theme: You must resist the invasive corruption of unforgiveness. One: Unforgiveness indulges in the opportunity for angry revenge. Two: Unforgiveness perpetuates distrust and fear. Three: Unforgiveness userps the place of God as judge. Four: Unforgiveness focuses excessive attention on the offense. Five: Unforgiveness forgets the truth of God's sovereign benevolent purposes. Six: Unforgiveness fails to repay evil with good. Seven: Unforgiveness cripples faith in God's promises. You ment evil against me, but God ment it for good. ~ Genisis 50:20

Are you constantly being asked to do more than your role requires because others around you aren't stepping up? You might be getting pulled into a leadership vacuum. In this final episode of the Leadership Series, I define what a leadership vacuum is and explain why so many mid-career academics—especially those in middle-management roles—get pulled into these gaps. Whether you're a department chair, PI, or program director, it's easy to start taking on responsibilities that aren't technically yours, particularly when leadership above you is weak or absent. I share how to recognize the vacuum, why scholars are especially vulnerable to it, and, most importantly, how to set boundaries that preserve your energy, time, and mission-driven focus. If you've ever felt overextended in your academic role, this episode is for you. Learn how to define your position and hold your boundaries with clarity and confidence.

When life feels unbearable—when you're anxious, heartbroken, or overwhelmed—it's natural to push against the moment. You replay the past, resist what you're feeling now, and fear what's next. But what if the path to relief isn't about fixing anything, but instead not resisting what you're experiencing? In this episode of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering, we explore how to stay grounded in difficult moments—not by approving of what's happening, but by loosening the grip of resistance, so you can find clarity, calm, and your next step forward. If you're stuck in worry, regret, stress or fear, this episode is for you. If you found this podcast enjoyable, kindly consider subscribing and leaving a rating or review.

At a time when democracy is under siege from Kremlin-backed strongmen to MAGA disinformation machines, this week's Gaslit Nation bonus show offers much-needed hope. We unpack the NATO summit, celebrate a major grassroots victory in New York City, and also discuss how to contain Russia with security expert Candace Rondeaux, author of Putin's Sledgehammer. First up: NATO is finally stepping up. All member nations, except Spain, have committed 5% of their GDP to defense and security by 2035. Predictably, Trump is already trying to take credit, but this shift isn't about him. It's a direct response to Putin's ongoing war in Ukraine. European leaders have learned how to handle Trump's ego: offering flattery when necessary while quietly strengthening defenses against the very aggression he once downplayed. That's not concession; it's strategic diplomacy. Meanwhile, in New York City, there's real reason to celebrate: Zohran Mamdani's victory in the Democratic primary for mayor is a major win for grassroots organizing and progressive politics. His campaign, alongside Brad Lander and others, championed public investment, reallocated resources from the NYPD's military-sized budget, and pushed back against Fox News crime porn fearmongering and disinformation. It's a clear signal that authentic, coalition-driven campaigns have the power to break through. Is the Democratic Party establishment listening? And finally, don't miss our powerful conversation with Candace Rondeaux, who outlines how to contain Russian fascism and the ongoing threat of the Wagner Group. As we're always saying at Gaslit Nation: fascists don't stop until they're stopped. Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?
