The pastor claims that what Rich was saying was not only misleading, but flat-out false about what Dispensationalism and Christian Zionism teach regarding Israel's future. Gary points out that this pastor doesn't understand his own position clearly enough.

    In today's Daily Shift, we're focusing on the power of the pause — especially when you feel pressure to respond quickly. Many people learned that safety meant reacting immediately: explaining, fixing, or accommodating before checking in with themselves. But immediacy doesn't create clarity. Regulation does. This short, grounding episode is a reminder that: You don't owe anyone an immediate response Pausing creates space for choice and self-trust A moment of breath can calm the nervous system Slowing down is not avoidance — it's regulation Before responding today — to a message, a request, or an emotion — see if you can take one slow breath and notice what you feel and what you need. This has been today's Daily Shift. Small shifts create big change.

Responding to a mom navigating her first Christmas after separation, he unpacks why toddlers don't store memories the way we fear—and why repair matters more than perfection. Parents will leave with relief, neuroscience-backed reassurance, and a clearer understanding of how safety, emotional honesty, and returning to connection shape a child far more than a tense moment ever could. Send us a textSupport the showLinks to help you and me: To support the Podcast, Subscribe on Substack Get Jon's Top Five Emotional Regulation Games Get Jon's Book Punishment-Free Parenting Preorder Jon's Children's Book Set My Feelings Free Follow Whole Parent on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube

    134: Fervent Prayers: When God Is Not Responding to Your Hustle, but to Your Heart

    What if the reason God feels silent… isn't because you're not praying hard enough, but because He's inviting you to stop striving? In this episode, I unpack what fervent prayer actually means — and why it has far less to do with intensity, volume, or emotional force than we've been taught. True fervency isn't spiritual hustle. It's submission. I talk about how real fervent prayer aligns us with God's will rather than trying to bend His hand, and how that alignment often brings peace long before it brings answers. This kind of prayer doesn't always change the situation right away, but it does change our posture, our discernment, and our trust. I also share a grounded, Scripture-rooted framework for practicing fervent prayer in everyday life — especially in seasons when God feels quiet, direction feels unclear, or you're tempted to push harder instead of listen deeper. If you're a Christian author, writer, or message-carrier who feels worn down from trying to "make things happen" in your calling, your book sales, or your income, this episode is an invitation to pause, realign, and return to the heart posture God responds to. Because God is not moved by our hustle. He responds to a surrendered heart.

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Day two of the Wright Report holiday series continues with unscripted answers to listener-submitted questions, beginning with a stark warning about America's greatest threats. Bryan responds to ODNI Director Tulsi Gabbard's assessment of Islamist ideology by laying out his own top three dangers to the United States: China as the foremost existential threat, followed by the Radical Left's push to "re-imagine" the Constitution, and then radical Islam, which he argues was empowered by failed immigration and assimilation policies. The episode then turns to hope and resilience. Responding to listener concerns about losing faith in the American experiment, Bryan points to the broad, multi-ethnic coalition that rejected open borders, rising crime, and economic fragility. He argues that while political battles are far from over, Americans have reclaimed their ability to speak freely, organize, and push back against forces that seek to dismantle the country's founding principles. The second half of the episode pulls back the curtain on the podcast itself. Bryan explains what differentiates The Wright Report from other shows, why he limits advertising, how foreign influence operations can target podcasters, and what drives his long-term vision. He closes with personal reflections on purpose, legacy, family, faith, and why he has no intention of returning to Washington, choosing instead to keep building something independent and mission-driven.    "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Wright Report holiday series, listener submitted questions, Tulsi Gabbard national security, China threat USA, radical left ideology, radical Islam threat, American identity debate, immigration assimilation, free speech podcasting, foreign influence operations, independent media, faith and legacy

I've heard so many people talking about it — people you would never expect to even come across this kind of content, which just speaks to how this piece has really hit a nerve. Chanté is hear to tell us all about the rollercoaster that has been the last couple of months, and this conversation truly is a must-listen — not just for single women, but for everyone. Chanté and I talk about how she came to write the article, the people she interviewed and why she ended up asking the question 'Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now' in the first place; we talk about the hate and abuse she's received online since writing the piece, how the fantasy of the fairytale is starting to fade, as well as the movement that is happening when it comes to single women. We also talk about how women often put up with sub-par behaviour from men because they're scared of somebody walking away if they're honest about their needs and desires in the relationship. Make sure you come back next week for Part 2 because you're not going to want to miss it!  02:19 The Viral Article: 'Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?'04:08 Chanté's Journey and Insights06:52 The Impact of the Article12:51 Reactions and Reflections14:41 The Bigger Picture: Solo Movement16:28 Chanté's Personal Experience20:35 Unexpected Viral Fame20:54 Navigating Newfound Responsibility21:35 The Pressure of Public Expectations22:59 Dealing with Online Hate24:52 Personal Attacks and Misunderstandings32:37 Responding to Young Men's Concerns35:50 Setting Boundaries in Dating and RelationshipsRead Chanté's Vogue piece: https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/is-having-a-boyfriend-embarrassing-nowFollow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chantayyjayy/?hl=enBook a 'Strangers In The City' event: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/strangers-in-the-city-81942438803Follow Strangers In The City on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strangersinthecityevents/?hl=en Support the showOrder my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?

    In this episode,  Pastor Gary teaches the final Sunday of Advent on love and how genuine love for God always leads to worship. Through the stories of the Magi and Simeon, we saw that Jesus is not merely someone to admire, but the King who calls for our obedience, surrender, and adoration.The Magi responded to Jesus with costly worship, traveling far and offering their very best. In contrast, King Herod responded with fear and self-preservation, reminding us that encountering Jesus always reveals what is in our hearts. Simeon, after a lifetime of faithful waiting, responded with praise and peace when he finally held the promised Savior, declaring Jesus as God's salvation.Pastor Gary challenged us to examine our own response to Jesus. True worship is never passive: it involves offering our time, resources, obedience, and lives to Him. As we are reaching the end of Advent, we are invited to move beyond admiration and respond to Christ with wholehearted worship, recognizing Him not just as a Savior, but as my Savior and my Lord!

    In this high-energy segment, Marc "Moose" Malusis tackles the perennial dysfunction of the New York Jets, a franchise that hasn't seen a playoff game since 2010. Responding to a frustrated caller, Moose argues that despite the organization's history of draft busts like Zach Wilson, they cannot afford to be paralyzed by fear. He highlights Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman-winning standout from Indiana, as the "apple of the eye" for a team that desperately needs a franchise pillar. Malusis breaks down why the Jets must utilize their massive draft capital—bolstered by the trades of Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams—to trade up and secure a quarterback who can finally win on a rookie deal. It's a raw look at a fan base tired of excuses and a host demanding the "adults in the room" finally get the most important position in sports right.

    In this special Q&A leadership session, Dwayne Kerrigan brings forward one of his most personal and powerful teachings yet—an unfiltered look at problem-solving, decision-making, emotional mastery, strategic planning, and the rituals that shape high-performance leaders.Responding to 51 listener questions, Dwayne breaks down the “three pillars of progress,” the psychological layers of every problem, why decision-making is a muscle, and how fear, uncertainty, and overwhelm quietly sabotage performance.He shares the exact rituals he has used for decades—from weekly solitude planning to identity-based scheduling—and the transformative practice he credits with changing his life: think time.This episode is a masterclass in intentional living and high-performance leadership, blending mindset, structure, neuroscience, and real-world business wisdom. If you're navigating fast-moving environments, leading teams, or trying to build a more purposeful life, this conversation gives you a proven roadmap forward.Key Takeaways:Decision-making is a muscle—if you don't practice small decisions with process and ritual, big decisions will always overwhelm you.Your focus determines your emotional life—the meaning you attach to events shapes long-term joy or suffering.Rituals create identity and outcomes—weekly solitude planning, think time, and identity-based scheduling produce clarity and momentum.Strategic thinking requires cadence—yearly visioning, quarterly reviews, weekly planning, and daily recalibration.AI will disrupt faster than expected—leaders must systemize processes now to survive the shift.Self-love, vulnerability, and forgiveness are essential ingredients for emotional mastery and better decision-making.Quotes:“Decision making is a muscle .. and it's a skill set. And often times where we struggle is this area of making the tough and difficult decisions.”“What you ritualized in practice in private is rewarded in public.”“The business side of things should be a game. I mean, it should be fun most of the time.”"What is going to make you a happier and more joyful person, is attaching a different meaning to the events that happen in your life.”Resources Mentioned:Tony Robbins – “Three Pillars of Progress,” Date With Destiny program, life-planning philosophyStephen Covey – prioritization framework (A/B/C method)Waking Up App (Sam Harris) – meditation and mindfulnessChatGPT (Teams) – referenced as part of Dwayne's business infrastructureSOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) – foundational to AI-based workflow agentsIdentity-based scheduling – Dwayne's personal system (Chairman, Husband, Father, Student, etc.)Audio Timestamps:00:00 – How meaning, not outcomes, determines happiness and fulfillment.01:00 – Welcome, context for the live Q&A format, and session overview.02:00 – Framing the biggest listener questions around decisions, problems, and leadership.03:00 – The three pillars of progress and why focusing on problems makes them grow.05:00 – The three levels of a problem: external, internal, and psychological.07:00 – Why fear, uncertainty, and overwhelm stop people from making decisions.09:00 – Decision-making as a muscle and the importance of rituals for small decisions.12:00 – Managing overwhelm through physiology, breathing, and better questions.16:00 – Focus, meaning, and how emotional patterns shape leadership behavior.23:00 – Strategic thinking rituals: yearly visioning, quarterly...

    Today, the government has ordered an independent review into foreign financial interference in UK politics. The government say this is in response to what it called the “shocking” case of Nathan Gill, the former leader of Reform UK in Wales. Gill was jailed in November, after admitting to taking bribes for pro-Russian interviews and speeches when he was a Member of the European Parliament (MEP).Announcing the review, Communities Secretary Steve Reed said the government must "learn the lessons" from the case so "this can never happen again". Responding to Reed's statement in the Commons, Reform UK's deputy leader Richard Tice said his party welcomed the review but called on the government to also make sure it looked into the influence of China on the Labour Party. Victoria and Chris discuss what the review could meanPlus, President Trump has filed, what is being reported as, a $5 billion dollar lawsuit against the BBC. Caitríona Perry and the FT's global media editor Daniel Thomas explain what's in the lawsuit and why the BBC has said it plans to fight it. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

    204  Developing your sensitivity, instead of overcoming it, may be one of the best things you can do for your marriage. We HSPs often think of ourselves as “too sensitive”, but actually, our sensitivity is the very thing that can make our marriages richer and better than any others on earth!I often talk about how ”working with” your sensitivity is quite key to your happiness in love– and your whole life, and it is true there are many ways we can learn to do that to thrive. And, we can also DEVELOP some of what is already there –  deepen it, sharpen it, fine tune what we naturally bring that already is an asset for our relationships.Today I want to specifically talk about one easy way you can develop your sensitivity for a richer, more deeply intimate, relationship. You'll learn what that is, how you are already probably pretty good at it, how to refine this gift, and what gets in the way of it all too often. You'll also learn about a couple (of many more) other aspects of sensitivity you also want to develop. My hope is you will come away from this episode reminded of the natural gifts you already possess, and some simple easy to implement ideas about how to deepen those gifts for more harmony and a sense of being lovingly in-sync in your marriage.

    Advent E3 — In the third week of Advent, we're reflecting on joy. Joy's not only a feeling based on circumstances but a rich biblical theme expressed in song, celebration, and even shouts of delight in all seasons of life. In the Hebrew Bible, words for joy appear most often in Psalms and describe communal feasts, temple offerings, and weddings. In these moments, joy is about remembering God's goodness in the past and anticipating his future rescue. The New Testament continues this story, with Luke and Acts in particular overflowing with joy at the arrival of the Messiah, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the resurrection of Jesus. In this episode, Jon and Tim find the theme of joy everywhere in Scripture, even before God's work is ultimately finished.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter notes including summaries, referenced Scriptures, biblical words, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSThe Hebrew Words for Joy (0:00–15:24)Joy in Psalms, Songs, and Processions (15:24–24:55)New Testament Joy in Jesus and the Spirit (24:55–36:59)Reflections on Joy With Alena (36:59-41:21)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESChara / Joy: Though not referenced directly in the episode, this 2017 video explores one of the biblical words for joy, chara.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“I'll Be Warm This Christmas” by Lofi Sunday & TBabz“Joy” by Lofi Sunday & CRFT“Snowflakes” by AvesBibleProject theme song by TENTS SHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

    Religious freedom, especially for Christians, is under attack across the globe, including in the West–including right here in the United States. Whether insidiously in the form of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that block Christians from employment and advancement opportunities, or, overtly, like vandalism against churches, or, in some parts of the world, murderous violence against Christians themselves, in terms of sheer numbers–and this fact is often ignored–Christians are, by far, the most persecuted religious group in the world. While defending religious freedom is important for people of all faiths, or no faith at all, it is thus especially urgent for believers in Christ. How, then, can we work together as a church and as a society to make progress on this front? Taking a step back, what, specifically, is religious freedom and why is it a universal human right? What is the relationship between the free exercise of religion and freedom of speech? And how can we respond to the secular charge that religious freedom is merely a backdoor means for the faithful to impose their beliefs on others? A listener asks how we can grow in confidence that Catholicism is the one true religion.

    PREVIEW — Anatol Lieven — Baltic States Fortifications and the Improbability of Russian Invasion. Lieven discusses Baltic state border fortification initiatives responding to legitimate security anxieties generated by Russian military operations in Ukraine and historic patterns of Russian territorial expansion and sphere-of-influence assertions. Lievenargues, however, that an actual Russian military invasion of NATO member states remains strategically improbable because attacking alliance members would catastrophically ruin Putin's geopolitical objectives by forcibly uniting Western powers in collective defense and risking direct great-power nuclear confrontation, rather than achieving Putin'sapparent goal of dividing European cohesion and fractioning the transatlantic alliance through coercive diplomacy and limited military operations short of direct NATO engagement. 1913
