When a dream falls apart or a door you prayed would open suddenly closes, it can leave you wondering what God is doing. Maybe you've worked toward a particular career, relationship, opportunity, or ministry, only to hear “no,” “wait,” or nothing at all. Closed doors can feel like rejection, but what if God is using them as redirection? Proverbs 16:9 reminds us that while we make plans, the Lord ultimately establishes our steps. Surrendering our plans to God isn't always easy, especially when we genuinely believe we've found the path we were meant to take. But God's “no” doesn't mean He has abandoned us. Sometimes He is protecting us, sometimes He is preparing us for something different, and sometimes we may never know why a particular door closed. The invitation is to trust the Author of our story, release our grip on the outcome, and pray, “Your will be done.” Highlights Why God's closed doors don't necessarily mean rejection Learning to trust God when your plans don't unfold as expected How a “no” from God can become a redirection or protection The challenge of wanting God's will more than our own plans Finding peace when you're facing a “not yet” or a season of waiting How to surrender specific outcomes and remain open to God's leading Three questions to help you discern where God may be leading next Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Full Transcript Below: When God, the Author, Rewrites Your Plans By Hannah Benson Bible Reading:“The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps” (Proverbs 16:9 ESV). I just returned from living in the beautiful state of Tennessee for over 4 weeks, working on a feature film project. As I’ve been processing all the Lord has done, I’ve reflected on this verse in Proverbs in particular. When I was a little girl, it was my dream to serve the Lord through media missions. As a young woman, how is that dream now a reality? Only God. The truth is, we all have dreams, hopes, and plans. There is nothing wrong with making plans and hoping for something. In fact, God often places these desires in our hearts. What about when our plans fall through? When we feel like we’re praying, begging for a breakthrough, but heaven seems silent, or worse yet, God says no? There have been times in my life when I found myself on my knees praying for something, only for the door to slam shut. When we have our plans, sometimes we can question why. Why would God withhold something good from us? I can’t claim to know God’s reasons. After all, His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and His ways higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-11). Sometimes, rejection is our protection. I have often found in my life that God will open doors that will draw me closer to Him and will bring Him the most glory. When He withholds something, it could simply be that I long for that thing more than I long for the will of the Lord to be done. That’s convicting. I want to desire God’s will far more than I desire anything else. That’s hard. When Jesus teaches His disciples how to pray in Matthew 6, He tells them to start by praying “Our father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (v. 9, 10 ESV). Notice the part about “your will be done.” God’s will is perfect. We should have a heart that desires to see God’s perfect will unfold here on earth as it does in heaven. We know God has good plans for us that are far better than anything we could dream or even begin to hope for. It’s one thing to agree with our lips, but quite another to truly desire in our hearts when God’s will isn’t always ours. What about when God says no? When God allows a door to quietly close? I wish I could say it’s easy to accept those no’s, but I don’t know that it ever gets easier. When we receive a no from God, sometimes, we may never understand why. Other times, we’ll look back and realize it was His protection or He had different plans that may’ve never unfolded otherwise. Intersecting Faith & Life: It can be incredibly difficult when our plans fall apart, when a dream begins to fade, or when a door we’ve knocked on stays firmly locked. It’s okay to grieve and to take our pain to Jesus. In fact, He wants us to share everything on our hearts with Him. But a closed door, a changed plan, or a dream that feels dead isn’t a sign of God’s abandonment. Instead, it’s proof of God, the Author’s hand over each of our lives, writing in each moment, caring for us so deeply as He sketches out all the details. Think about that. He cares about us so deeply that He’ll tell us no, shut a door, or change our plans. As I reflect on my own life, I can see the doors God has closed and others He has flung wide open. If it weren’t for the “no’s” of the past, I don’t think I would’ve received or appreciated all the “yeses” of today. That doesn’t mean there aren’t “nos,” “not yets,” or “waits” in this current season. But when there are, I want to remember that every closed door isn’t a rejection but a redirection, a beautiful gift from God. His plans aren’t always ours. His thoughts are often far beyond what we could imagine. And honestly? Thank God. If you are facing a closed door today, take some time to consider the following questions: Are you gripping a specific outcome so tightly that you’re missing where the Lord may be leading you next? Can you find peace in the truth that God’s "no" is an act of sovereign protection? How can you shift your prayers today from "Lord, do things my way" to "Your will be done"? Pray with me: Dear Father, thank You that Your plans aren’t always mine. Thank You for every "no," for every time You tell me to wait, or when You whisper, “not yet.” Thank You for the times You shut doors just as much as when You open them. Please help me surrender to Your leading and release my plans to You. Lord, please don’t let me miss where You are calling me next. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Send us Fan MailClinical hypnotist David Barron joins Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations for a fascinating look into hypnosis, identity change, habit control, anxiety, and the hidden power of the mind. With more than 25,000 hours of client experience, David explains hypnosis not as mind control, but as intense internal focus that helps people create new emotional resources, break old patterns, and see themselves differently.David shares how a childhood visit to a county fair hypnotist sparked a lifelong obsession with the mind, eventually leading him to build successful hypnosis practices and work with clients on smoking cessation, anxiety, confidence, weight loss, and peak performance. He also breaks down common myths about hypnosis, the difference between hypnosis and meditation, why Hollywood often gets it wrong, and how athletes use altered states and alter egos to perform at elite levels.The conversation also explores David's powerful view of discipline: valuing your future self over your present self. From quitting smoking to changing identity, this episode is about becoming “not that person anymore” and using the mind to create lasting transformation. Top 3 Highlights

What if the thing holding back your performance isn't a problem with your abilities, but with how you think about the moments you're dreading? The outreach you avoid, the questions you hesitate to ask, the "no" you're bracing for before you pick up the phone — these are all examples of how your brain is wired to focus on what could go wrong instead of what could go right. But there's a skill that can help you change how you think about these situations: cognitive reframing. In this episode, Dan sits down with Ayelet Fishbach, a motivation scientist at the University of Chicago and author of Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation, to discuss why the path to any goal feels the way it does — and how to reframe the setbacks you encounter along the way. This conversation is relevant to anyone working towards a goal that takes sustained effort over time — particularly salespeople who face regular rejection as part of the job and are looking for better ways to manage it.

[00:30] Post-Truth World (55 minutes) Overcomplicating the truth is one of the devil's favorite strategies, as evidenced by this week's headlines. Tucker Carlson's interview with Hunter Biden attempted to obscure the truth about the infamous laptop and blamed the scandal on Israel. President Donald Trump meandered around direct interview questions while claiming that one of his Iran war strategies is to be “relaxed.” How should we approach the truth in this post-truth world?
Send us Fan MailGrief can hollow a life out or it can open it up. Saint Jane Frances de Chantal shows a third way: bring the loss to Christ, stay close to the Eucharist, and let God reshape what you thought your future would be. We walk through her journey from noble France to the daily grind of marriage and motherhood, where faith is not a slogan but a lived routine of Mass, prayer, the Rosary, and mercy toward the poor. If you've ever wondered whether holiness in daily life is actually possible, her story answers with quiet force.When tragedy strikes with the sudden death of her husband, Jane becomes a widow and single mother, carrying real sorrow and real responsibility. We reflect on redemptive suffering in Catholic teaching, not as spiritual denial, but as an offering united to the Cross and sustained by Eucharistic devotion through Communion, adoration, and persistent prayer. Her Marian devotion is not an accessory; it becomes a lifeline, a way of entrusting her children and her broken heart to the maternal care of the Blessed Virgin Mary.We also explore the importance of spiritual direction through her friendship with Saint Francis de Sales, whose wisdom centers on gentleness, humility, abandonment to God's will, and prayer in a busy life. That guidance helps Jane discern a new vocation and eventually found the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary, welcoming women who are burdened, older, or in fragile health. If you're searching for Catholic spirituality that meets you in suffering and still points to joy, this conversation will stay with you.

Following last week's look at the earliest concepts for Star Trek: The Next Generation, Larry Nemecek welcomes back author and historian Ben Robinson to examine Gene Roddenberry's handwritten response and the surprising conversation it sparked. Revisiting documents first explored in earlier seasons of The Trek Files, Larry and Ben trace the pivotal weeks of September 1986, when Gene challenged early ideas for a Starfleet Academy-centered series, questioned the show's heavy emphasis on Klingons, and argued that Star Trek's true strength had never been its characters alone but the stories it told. Some of Gene's observations proved remarkably prescient. Others reveal how his own thinking had evolved since the 1960s. Together, they paint a portrait of a franchise at a crossroads, just weeks before The Next Generation officially became the series we know today.

Week 3 in a series: Jesus Off Script Speaker: Brandon Redmon
AI is about to make your organization legible — and that changes what every leader does next. For the first time in history, an organization can see itself: who creates value, who's hiding, and where the free-rider problem has been quietly draining performance.Business has always been a semi-transparent, at best opaque, performance environment. The free-rider and principal-agent problems survived for one reason: monitoring cost more than it was worth, so we shrugged and called opacity "fine." AI collapses that monitoring cost toward zero. Drawing on Mancur Olson's Logic of Collective Action, the power law of contribution, and the hard truth that only ~20% of employees are engaged worldwide, Junior and Tim make the case that legibility is the real shift underneath the AI conversation — the "eye in the sky that never lies."The implications are big. When the organization holds itself accountable, the manager is no longer the mechanism of accountability — leaders move up the stack to objective-setting, alignment, judgment, and coaching. Pay starts to track the value people actually create. A players lean in (they love to be measured); everyone else feels the fog lift. And the very purpose of the organization comes back into question: not just shareholder value, but developing humans while you create it.
In "New Buildings Don't Make New People," Pastor Chris Bonts shares a message about how we will never become the people God created us to be apart from His Word. The Scripture is Ezra 7.

John 21:3-12 Simon Peter said, “I'm going fishing.” “We'll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn't see who he was. He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?” “No,” they replied. Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you'll get some!” So they did, and they couldn't haul in the net because there were so many fish in it. Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It's the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore. The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yards from shore. When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them—fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread.“Bring some of the fish you've just caught,” Jesus said. So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore. There were 153 large fish, and yet the net hadn't torn. “Now come and have some breakfast!” Jesus said. None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish. This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead.Go back to the START, in order to MOVE FORWARD.When you don't know what to do, go back to the last time you were WITH JESUS.Revelation 2:5 Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first.When you don't know what to do, BE OBEDIENT.Matthew 28:10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid.

And his commands are not a burden.My level of OBEDIENCE reveals my level of TRUST in Him.When you RETURN and OBEY, DAYBREAK will always come.Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.Psalm 30:5 Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.Jesus often meets us not in the middle of the FIGHT, but at the DAWN of a new day.When Jesus is involved, SOME becomes ABUNDANT.Jesus cares for the WHOLE PERSON.He provides for their NEEDS = 153 large fishHe provides for their SOULS = breakfast at the beachHe provides for their SPIRITS = redemption and callingWhen we read the Bible searching for ANSWERS, we don't always find them, but we always find a FULL PICTURE of who GOD is.John 21: 15-17 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.”God REDEEMS your past, REWRITES your story, and REAFFIRMS your purpose.

For most of its history, Germany's foreign intelligence service was built to watch, not to act — a constraint rooted in the country's experience of the Gestapo and the Stasi. A sweeping draft law would change that, letting the BND conduct sabotage, covert interference, and offensive cyber operations for the first time. Chris speaks with German investigative journalist Florian Flade, among the first to report on the draft, about what's driving the overhaul — Russia's war and hybrid campaign, and eroding trust in Washington under Trump — and the unease that lingers around empowering services that once served dictatorships.

Today, we're drawing the line in the sand on one of the most untouchable topics out there: biblical womanhood, the modern feminist movement, and what it truly means to build a Christ-centered family. Paul M. Neuberger isn't here to coddle, compromise, or conform. He's calling out the culture—the one that trades covenant for comfort, exalts independence over interdependence, and diminishes the sacred art of motherhood and biblical marriage.Make no mistake: speaking this truth will cost you. Labels. Criticism. Cancel culture will come knocking.But Jesus is still Lord. His design is still perfect. His Word is still the final authority.So here's your challenge—when culture contradicts the cross, will you bow, or will you stand?"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." —Romans 12:2Episode Highlights07:36 - Culture changes every generation, while God's Word never does... The question before us isn't whether culture has strong opinions. We know it certainly does. The question is whether those opinions will shape our convictions more than the unchanging truth of God's word.15:28 - If our definition of freedom leads us away from obedience to God, then according to Scripture, well, it ain't true freedom at all. Real freedom isn't found in doing whatever we want. Real freedom is found in becoming the people God created us to be.26:32 - Marriage doesn't become stronger because one spouse wins. It becomes stronger when both husband and wife become more like Jesus. And that's where lasting transformation begins.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Send us Fan Mail Trauma rarely announces itself with a single clear memory. More often, it shows up as a tight chest when someone raises their voice, the reflex to apologise for things that aren't your fault, or a constant sense that you have to earn safety. We sit down with Danielle Bernock to name what many people feel but struggle to explain: trauma isn't the event, it's the wound left inside after your system gets overwhelmed. We talk about why validation is not “dwelling on the past,” but a necessary first step in trauma healing. Danielle breaks down how two people can experience the same situation yet carry totally different impacts, and why comparing pain keeps you stuck. We dig into nervous system survival patterns that can look like “just how I am” including harsh self-talk, anxiety, sleep issues, attachment struggles, and the subtle ways coping strategies get praised even when they cost you your real self. The conversation also gets practical about the mind body connection and somatization, when the body keeps the score through physical symptoms that are often dismissed. We explore how to start without overwhelm: gather the right information, get medical support when needed, find counselling or forward-focused coaching, and choose one issue at a time. Most of all, we come back to a message that changes the direction of healing: you matter, and your value doesn't need to be earned. If something here sparks recognition, take it as a sign you're ready for a shift.

Send us Fan MailCaregiving can dismantle the easy answers you used to lean on and leave you with a faith that feels raw, quiet, and intensely personal. I'm talking about the kind of faith that shows up in sleepless nights, in hospital rooms, and at the kitchen table with paperwork spread out, when you realize you do not have the strength to carry everything you're carrying.We walk through five ways caregiving reshapes faith for family caregivers, especially those navigating Alzheimer's and dementia care: trust moving from theory to reality, prayer becoming shorter and more honest, hard questions revealing what we really believe, dependence on God replacing the pressure to be endlessly strong, and love expanding into patient, costly compassion. We also ground these insights in Scripture, including Proverbs 3:5–6, Romans 8:26, Psalm 13, and the promise that grace is sufficient in weakness.If your spiritual life feels different right now, I want you to hear this clearly: different does not mean failed. Sometimes faith looks like whispering “Lord, help me,” taking the next right step, receiving support from others, and living on daily grace instead of trying to solve the next five years. I'll leave you with reflection questions to help you name what this season is teaching you and where God may be inviting you to trust Him today.If you know a caregiver who feels alone or worn down, share this with them. Subscribe for more encouragement for Christian caregiving, and if the message meets you where you are, leave a review so more caregivers can find hope.
Jalen Brunson has delivered the kind of championship moment Knicks fans waited generations to see, and now the debate gets bigger than basketball. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into where Brunson belongs on the New York sports icon ladder and whether ending the Knicks drought changes how he compares to legends like Eli Manning and Derek Jeter. The conversation weighs championships, expectations, franchise droughts, postseason impact and the unique pressure of winning in New York. From callers defending Jeter and Eli to old reactions to the Brunson signing, the episode captures how quickly a good player became the face of a title team and a citywide argument.
