After decades of exile, God stirred King Cyrus and His people to return to Jerusalem. Yet once home, opposition and comfort distracted them from the God who brought them there. Through Haggai and Zechariah, God called them back to Himself: “Return to me.” The Temple, the return from exile, and the sacrifices ultimately point to Jesus, who brings sinners home to God. Home is not ultimately a place we build for ourselves; God Himself is our home.

Send us Fan MailFaith can look strong on the outside while feeling heavy on the inside. We pick up where last week left off and name what's really happening when your spirituality starts to feel like constant effort: the protective self takes the lead, and love turns into performance.We walk through the cost of protective self-doing with honesty and compassion. When we manage how we're perceived, intimacy shrinks because we can't be fully known. When we try to sustain ourselves through sheer output, vitality fades, and burnout becomes normal. We also talk about the “uniforms” we wear at work, at church, and in family roles, and how those survival strategies can quietly replace authenticity with armor. Most of all, we confront how performance sneaks into prayer, worship, and serving as if God's love must be secured, even though agape is unconditional and freely given.Then we shift to what beloved self-doing actually looks like: not passivity, not laziness, but active love flowing from beloved identity. We look at Jesus washing feet as a picture of costly love that doesn't cost identity, share a simple contemplative practice called the prayer of consent (“Father, I consent to your presence and action within”), and describe a sustainable rhythm of return that displaces striving over time. If you're craving deeper intimacy with God, spiritual formation that heals, and a way out of performance-based faith, press play, share this with a friend, subscribe, send us a message with your thoughts, and leave a review so more people can find the journey home.For more insights on the Protective Self, check out these additional episodes: Understanding the True Self and False Self The Birth of the False Self  This podcast is a production of The Center for Biblical Coaching and Leadership.

Episode Description:This is a From the Archive episode with one of my favorite guests: Steven Pressfield.Steven Pressfield has spent his career writing about war, creativity, discipline, storytelling, and the inner battle every artist faces. In this archive conversation, James and Steven explore how stories work—and why the same structures that power novels and movies also show up in real life.They begin with The Legend of Bagger Vance, which Pressfield built from the structure of the Bhagavad Gita. James connects that idea to his own writing, where ancient texts like the Yoga Sutras became frameworks for modern essays about entrepreneurship. Their point is simple: if a story has survived thousands of years, it probably contains a structure worth studying.From there, the conversation moves into the hero's journey. The ordinary world. The call to adventure. The refusal of the call. The mentor. The threshold. The extraordinary world. The tests, allies, enemies, ordeal, return, and gift.But Pressfield pushes the idea further. In real life, people do not always answer the call. Some people refuse it for years. Some cross the threshold and then run back. Some sacrifice security, status, money, family expectations, or even relationships to follow the deeper pull of their lives.James shares his own story of walking out of a finance job after three days, leaving his coat on the chair, taking the elevator down 40 floors, getting on a train, and never returning. Pressfield recognizes it immediately as a real-life threshold moment.The conversation then turns to The Artist's Journey. Pressfield explains that the hero's journey ends when the hero returns home with a gift. The artist's journey begins when the artist asks: What is the gift I am meant to give? What is my material? What is my voice? What am I here to make?They discuss Resistance as the real villain in every story, why the question “Who am I?” often drives the inciting incident, why villains often do not change, why opening and closing images matter, and why genres have rules that writers ignore at their own risk.This episode is a masterclass in story, but it is also a meditation on identity. The deeper question is not just how to write a story. It is how to recognize the story already trying to live through you.Editorial Note:This is a "From the Archive" episode. References to “new” or “upcoming” books, projects, or events reflect the timing of the original recording.What You'll Learn:Why Steven Pressfield built The Legend of Bagger Vance on the structure of the Bhagavad Gita.How ancient myths and spiritual texts can become frameworks for modern stories.Why the hero's journey begins only when the hero answers the call.What separates the ordinary world from the extraordinary world.Why Resistance appears immediately after the call to action.Why crossing the threshold changes how other people see you—and how you see yourself.How the artist's journey begins after the hero's journey ends.Why the artist's real question is: What gift am I bringing back?How to go deeper into theme instead of just telling a surface-level story.Why success, awards, money, and status can become forms of Resistance.How dreams, intuition, and recurring ideas can point toward a person's real work.Why every strong story creates a first pole and second pole: the question and the answer.Why the villain may be a person, a force, or Resistance itself.Why genre conventions matter, even for experienced writers.How opening and closing images can reveal the full emotional transformation of a story.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Steven Pressfield and the Ancient Structure of StoryJames introduces Pressfield through The Legend of Bagger Vance, The Authentic

Johnson's Inner Work and describes creativity as the skill of noticing what is already arriving.[01:11:49] The First Pole and the Second PoleThe inciting incident creates a question the audience needs answered, as in The Bourne Identity: Who is he?[01:13:31] The Villain Is EverywhereJames and Steven discuss why villains keep returning and why Resistance may be the real villain in every story.[01:15:05] Does the Villain Ever Change?Darth Vader becomes an example of a character who may look like the villain but is really on another journey.[01:16:16] Opening Image, Closing ImageThe Godfather shows how a story can begin and end in similar places while revealing total transformation.[01:17:19] Why Everyone Can't Just Write a ThrillerEven with formulas available, genre rules and obligatory scenes still have to be understood and honored.[01:18:24] Rules, Genres, and Why Audiences Feel CheatedPressfield explains that if a genre's necessary beat is missing, the audience may feel the story is hollow.[01:18:42] Romance, Tragedy, and The Way We WereJames and Steven discuss romance structure and why a love story can still work when the couple does not end up together.[01:20:54] No One Is Born a ProJames reads a Pressfield line about falling before hitting bottom and connects it to the artist's journey needing the hero's journey first.Additional Resources:Steven Pressfield Official WebsiteSteven Pressfield BooksThe War of Art by Steven PressfieldTurning Pro by Steven PressfieldThe Artist's Journey by Steven PressfieldNobody Wants to Read Your Sht* by Steven PressfieldThe Authentic Swing by Steven PressfieldThe Legend of Bagger Vance by Steven Pressfield“How Does a Story Start?” by Steven PressfieldThe Writer's Journey by Christopher VoglerSave the Cat! by Blake SnyderInner Work by Robert A.

Earlier this year, Flor Sánchez made the agonizing decision to leave her husband and 6-year-old son behind, and self-deported to Sinaloa, Mexico amid the Trump Administration’s immigration crackdown. As immigration enforcement activity spread earlier this year into Central Washington, where Sánchez worked in the fruit orchards, she made the choice to depart Sunnyside, Washington and leave the U.S. with her eldest son. Her story is part of a larger trend of immigrant workers making the choice to leave the U.S. due to immigration enforcement.    Daisy Zavala Magaña and Hal Bernton covered Sánchez’s story for Range, and they join us to discuss their reporting.

Last week we explored wolves from the ground up because before we could understand the symbolism, we first needed to understand the animal itself. We talked about how wolves actually live, the strength of the pack, their intelligence, loyalty, communication, and the lessons we can learn simply by observing nature.This week, I'd love to take the next step.Now that we know the wolf ... and have revisited some of the myths, legends, and fairy tales that have followed them through history, let's explore the wisdom they have to offer. Let's step into the spiritual lessons and the practical ways we can begin working with The Wolf energy in our own lives.Because those stories were never really about wolves at all. They've always been stories about us. About courage, change and leaving behind what is comfortable. They are stories about becoming the people we are meant to be.You'll hear one theme woven throughout today's episode, repeated again and again: The Village (where everything is familiar and comfortable), The Forest (where transformation happens) and The Return Home (where the hero comes back forever changed). As I was preparing this episode, I realized this wasn't just the pattern of ancient stories... it's the pattern of our own lives. And it has helped me make sense of a question I've been asking myself lately: What comes next? How do I move from simply gathering knowledge... to actually living it? Maybe you've been asking yourself that same question. If so, I hope you'll come walk through the forest with me for a little while. We've got this! CharleneHearth & Hen Witchy Work Wishes Patreon

Actor and Hollywood stuntman Erik “All Day” Audé joins The Connect for one of the most intense stories ever told on the channel. In 2002, Erik was arrested in Pakistan after unknowingly being used as a drug mule and accused of attempting to smuggle narcotics through the airport. What followed was a nightmare: a death sentence, years inside one of Pakistan's most dangerous maximum-security prisons, brutal conditions, riots, violence, corruption, and the constant fear that he would be the next prisoner executed. Erik breaks down how he was deceived, what life on death row was really like, how he survived the prison system, and how he eventually fought his way back to freedom after proving his innocence. He also talks about his career as a stuntman, the importance of safety on film sets, and the lessons he learned from surviving the unimaginable. This is a story about betrayal, survival, faith, justice, and what it takes to keep fighting when the entire system is against you. Go Support Erik!

New Zealand's Indoor Bowls team dubbed the 'Mat Blacks' have returned from Australia with the Trans-Tasman trophy in hand. Alex Reed from New Zealand Indoor Bowls Inc spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In June 2002, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Smart was taken from her bedroom at knifepoint and held captive for nine months, enduring abuse that would have broken most people beyond repair. Against extraordinary odds, she survived, and then she decided to step fully into the public eye; not in spite of what happened to her, but because of it. She has testified before Congress, helped author a Department of Justice handbook for kidnapping survivors, and founded the Elizabeth Smart Foundation to dismantle the shame culture that compounds survivors' trauma. In this powerful episode, Elizabeth walks us through the night that changed everything, how she held onto hope during nine months of captivity, what justice looked and felt like after nearly eight years of waiting, and why she believes that being seen is one of the most radical things a survivor can do.

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancis. Friends, Mary Rose Gutierrez is your guest host on the show today — and this episode is one of those that will quietly rearrange something inside of you. Mary Rose is a former psychiatric nurse of 15 years turned angel channeler, energy healer, and clinical hypnotherapist. She went through the Angel Reiki School, worked alongside me, and has since built a truly powerful body of work helping people find their way back to themselves. This episode is her framework — and it is so, so good. If you've been doing all the work — the meditations, the affirmations, the subconscious reprogramming — and still can't move the needle, this one is for you. In This Episode [00:00] Mary Rose's journey from psychiatric nursing to angel channeling — and what changed everything [04:35] Why doing "all the work" still doesn't shift things — and what's actually missing [09:10] The one question that will open this whole episode: What does your soul already know that you pretend you don't? [10:50] Step 1 — Find the loop: the repeating pattern hiding underneath every area of your life [15:55] Step 2 — Separate what you know from what you were taught to believe [20:28] Step 3 — The tolerance edit: what is your life actually saying about what you believe right now? [24:00] Step 4 — Intuition vs. fear: how fear disguises itself as wisdom, discernment, and "not being ready" [29:00] Step 5 — Build the muscle: the daily practice of returning home to yourself [33:57] The gap between where you are and where you want to be has nothing to do with your worthiness Connect with Maryrose:  https://www.instagram.com/i.am.maryrose/ https://withmaryrose.com/
