If you've ever asked yourself, “Why can't I walk away even after everything they did?” — this episode is for you. Lora Cheadle breaks down the truth about trauma bonds: what they are, how they form, and why they make it so hard to leave someone who has betrayed you. You'll learn the neuroscience behind trauma bonding, how ancestral patterns may be keeping you stuck, and the legal and somatic reasons why this type of bond feels like life or death. Through heartfelt insights, somatic tools, and practical steps for reclaiming your power, you'll walk away with more clarity—and a plan to finally break free. Whether you're just starting your healing journey or feeling stuck in the cycle of apology and hope, this episode delivers the aha moments you've been waiting for.   TOP 3 TAKEAWAYS: Trauma Bonds Are Biological, Not Weakness: You're not crazy for still feeling attached to someone who hurt you. Trauma bonding is a survival-based, chemical loop created by cycles of betrayal and apology—and it's completely normal (but breakable). Your History Could Be Keeping You Hooked: Ancestral patterns and family modeling may be wiring you to stay stuck in trauma bonds. Lora explains how generational trauma gets passed down—and how to be the one who ends the cycle. You Can Break the Bond Through Body and Soul: From breathwork and somatic anchors to legal awareness and agency-building micro-acts, Lora outlines four powerful steps to reclaim your autonomy and start healing your nervous system for real.  

“The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything.” (John 14:26)   In this Sunday Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer invites you to consider a powerful question: Do you feel supported? If not, perhaps it's time to invite the Holy Spirit more deeply into your life.   Jesus calls the Holy Spirit our Advocate—the one who publicly supports, strengthens, and walks with us. Whether you're feeling isolated in your faith, your relationships, or your vocation, the Spirit wants to be your source of courage and comfort.  

Rise Up and Build_Lesson #7 (Nehemiah 8)_Speaker: Paul Kumar

“If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.” (John 15:18)   In this bold Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer delivers a countercultural message straight from the Gospel: If the world doesn't hate you, you may not be fully following Christ.   The Gospel is uncomfortable. It challenges power, pride, impurity, and selfishness—so those who live it authentically won't always be liked. And that's okay.  

We all know the Great Commission—“Go and make disciples…”—but what is the mandate of the Gospel? In today's Rise Up, Fr. Jonathan Meyer unpacks the deeper command Jesus gives us in John 15: to love one another.   Real love doesn't happen while rushing, multitasking, or checking off a to-do list. It takes time, attention, and presence. If we truly want to live the Gospel, we must slow down, declutter our lives, and spend time with God and with others.  

In this week's Rise UP!

Serial Cheaters, One-Time ‘Mistakes,' and the Truth About Blame: What Every Woman Needs to Know What's the real difference between a serial cheater and a one-time “mistake”? And more importantly… was it your fault? In this episode, betrayal recovery coach Lora Cheadle breaks down the psychology behind repeat cheating, the myth of the accidental affair, and why even “good men” cheat. She also dismantles the biggest lie betrayed women believe: that they caused it. You'll learn how to spot the red flags of serial cheating, understand how partners justify their behavior, and reclaim your sanity, self-worth, and personal power—starting now. Top Three Takeaways: What really motivates serial vs. one-time cheaters The link between shame, trauma responses, and “fixing” behaviors How to release self-blame and recognize emotional manipulation Practical ways to rebuild trust with yourself (and maybe your partner) This episode is your permission slip to stop carrying the weight of someone else's choices. Truth Bombs to Remember: Cheating is Never a Mistake—It's a Series of Choices Whether your partner cheated once or many times, it wasn't an accident. Cheating is made up of thousands of small justifications before the big betrayal. Understanding that helps you release the illusion of control and start healing. You Are Not to Blame—Even If the Relationship Had Problems Having issues in a relationship does not justify betrayal. Blame-shifting (“you pushed me to cheat”) is manipulation. Even if you weren't perfect, you didn't cause the affair. The Best Defense is No Defense When your partner blames you, the most powerful response is: “You and I both know that's not true.” Engaging with lies makes them feel real. Refusing to engage is your power move. Ready to create your own Hot Girl Summer? Join us at SparkleAllSeason.com for a soulful, sexy, and supportive summer of confidence, connection, and comeback.

“If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love.” (John 15:10) In this powerful Easter reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer unpacks the simple but life-changing truth of today's Gospel: remaining in the Lord means living His commandments—especially the command to love and to live the Eucharist.   Jesus doesn't ask for perfection—He invites us into faithful love. Whether it's loving others, receiving the Eucharist, or letting go of sin, the way to stay rooted in Him is clear.   ✝️ What commandment do you struggle with the most?

“Peace I leave you, my peace I give you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you.” (John 14:27)   In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer asks a timely question: Does our world need peace? The answer is obvious—but the solution is not. While the world pursues peace through laws, treaties, and diplomacy, Jesus brings peace in a radically different way: through the cross, through forgiveness, through reconciliation.   If we want true peace, we must live like Jesus—by loving, forgiving, and letting go of bitterness. Be a peacemaker. Be a witness. Let the peace of Christ dwell in you and flow through you to the world.   #RiseUp #CatholicFaith #PeaceOfChrist #GospelReflection #ChristianPeace #HolyWeek #DailyGospel #JesusIsPeace

“He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit.” (John 15:2)   In this Easter reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer challenges us to look at our lives honestly and ask: What branch in me needs to be pruned? Is it a habit? A distraction? A dependency? Even the things that seem “alive” may be draining your spiritual energy.   Just like shrubs need pruning to thrive, we too must cut away what doesn't lead to fruitfulness—so we can grow stronger in faith, freedom, and joy.  

Jesus said, “Whoever loves me will keep my word… and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.” (John 14:23)   In this powerful Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer explains why keeping God's Word is not just about obedience—it's about love, transformation, and becoming a dwelling place for God. When we receive and live God's Word, Christ Himself dwells within us and begins to transform us from the inside out.  

“Love one another as I have loved you.” (John 15:12) This Sunday, Fr. Jonathan Meyer invites you to reflect deeply on those words—and to ask a powerful question: How has Jesus specifically loved you?   Through forgiveness, friendships, your parish community, or the Eucharist—Jesus shows His love in countless personal ways. In today's Rise Up, you're encouraged to name those moments and then respond: Love one another as He has loved you.  

Do you struggle with praying spontaneously? You're not alone. In this powerful Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer shares his own journey of learning how to pray from the heart—and teaches a simple 6-part model anyone can use:   Address. Thank. Thank. Ask. Ask. Close.   Drawing from today's Gospel (“Whatever you ask in my name, I will do…” – John 14), Fr. Meyer reminds us that we're all called to pray boldly, in the name of Jesus. Whether you're a teen, a parent, or someone new to prayer—this method can transform how you talk to God.  

Approximately 80% of orange cats are males, including the four orange cats owned by the Short Wave team. Scientists have long suspected that orange color was a sex-linked trait — hiding somewhere on the X chromosome. Now, scientists at Stanford University and Kyushu University in Japan have characterized the mutation responsible for orange cat coloration. Both groups published their results in the journal Cell Biology this week. Have a question about the animals all around us?

Is your heart weighed down by anxiety, fear, or uncertainty? In this powerful Easter reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reminds us of Jesus' words: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Have faith in God; have faith also in me.”   If you're feeling overwhelmed by the struggles of life—relationships, finances, stress—this message is for you. Learn how to shift your focus from uncertainty to what is true and certain: God's love, your existence, and the promises of Jesus Christ.

Happy Easter! ✝️ He is Risen—Alleluia! As Christians, we believe in one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But do we truly pray and relate to each person of the Trinity? In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer unpacks the relational love at the heart of the Trinity and invites us to deepen our prayer life by entering into that divine relationship. Jesus reminds us: “Whoever receives the one I send receives me” (John 13:20).

Have you ever felt left out? Welcome to Rise Up! This is Father Jonathan Meyer. Today, in the midst of the Easter season, we celebrate the Feast of Saint Matthias—the apostle who wasn't originally chosen.   Whether it's on the playground, at work, or in life—we've all felt overlooked. But just like Matthias, you are chosen. On your darkest day, when no one else sees you, God does.   “You are chosen. You are loved. At this very moment, God sees you, God knows you, and God loves you.”   Let today be a reminder: You are not alone. Be not afraid. Work for the Audience of One—Jesus Christ.   #RiseUp #FeastOfStMatthias #YouAreChosen #CatholicFaith #EasterSeason #FrJonathanMeyer

Welcome to Rise Up with Father Jonathan Meyer! Today's Gospel begins with a surprising detail—Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Feast of the Dedication… Hanukkah! Yes, Jesus celebrated Hanukkah because He was a faithful, practicing Jew. Just as Jesus went on pilgrimage, observed holy days, and prayed throughout the day, we are called to follow His example.   But there's more—you are now the temple! Through your baptism and the renewal of your baptismal promises at Easter, you were consecrated as a dwelling place of God.   Let today be a day to rejoice: You are a temple. Jesus celebrates you. Amen.

Rev. Amanda OsengaMinister of Youth and Families

This past Sunday, Ben continued our sermon series in Nehemiah. In chapters 11 and 12, we see the people of Israel resettling Jerusalem and celebrating the completion of the wall with a joyful dedication ceremony. This passage highlights God's faithfulness in restoring His people and their commitment to worshiping Him in response.

This week, Caleb led us through the final chapter of Nehemiah and taught us about the “pursuit of holiness.” Through the events of Nehemiah 13, we see that our pursuit is tied to three specific things: 1) our pursuit flows out of a personal relationship with God, 2) our pursuit continues by taking God seriously, and 3) our pursuit of holiness requires positive and negative action. Caleb reminded us that there is a “letting go of sin” (negative action) and “putting on of holiness” (positive action) that we need to strive for as Christians that the Israelites in Nehemiah 13 failed to do. Ultimately, we are called to and achieve holiness in God alone.

Rise Up to Close the Wisdom Gap! Did you miss Pastor Michelle's message yesterday? Don't worry—we've got you covered! In our Wisdom Gap series, she shared a powerful word about rising like Deborah—a woman who stood in the gap and led with courage when no one else would. Just like her, your life is a treasure chest filled with love, lessons, and legacy. Don't bury it—invest it. Live with purpose, lead without hesitation, and leave a legacy worth repeating. Someone's future may depend on what you do with the treasure that is you. #rethinklifechurch #TheWinningFamily #GoodNews #Bible #godsword #godisgood #lakenona #stcloud #orlando #2025sermon #onlinechurch #rodneygage #michellegage #Jesus #Church #Hope #HolySpirit #learnhow #pastor #sermon #inspiringmessages #wisdom Thank you RTL Fam for your generosity!

Have you heard the voice of God… or the voice of Satan?   In today's Rise Up Easter reflection, Father Jonathan Meyer invites us to discern the voices that speak to our hearts. The voice of God brings peace, calm, and conviction. The voice of the enemy brings fear, confusion, and condemnation.   Learn how to recognize the difference—and how to rebuke the lies in the powerful name of Jesus.  

“When was the last time you went to daily Mass?”   In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer challenges us to rediscover the gift of daily worship. Just as God fed the Israelites with manna every day, He now offers us the true Bread from Heaven—Jesus Himself—in the Eucharist, every single day.   Daily Mass isn't just for priests or religious. It's for you. It's for all of us. Let it change your life.   Amen. Hallelujah. Happy Easter!   #RiseUp #Catholic #DailyMass #Eucharist #FultonSheen #CatholicLife #BreadFromHeaven

Have you ever walked away from the Eucharist—or known someone who has?   In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer dives into a haunting moment in Scripture: John 6:66—a verse where many of Jesus' disciples turn away, unable to accept His teaching on the Real Presence in the Eucharist. The symbolism of 666 is hard to ignore, especially when it reflects the spiritual battle so many face.   Fr. Meyer invites us to reflect, repent, and pray for those who have stepped away from the Mass or the belief in the Eucharist. Whether it's you, your children, your friends, or someone you love—this is a call to return to Jesus and His saving gift in the Blessed Sacrament.

In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Beyer takes us on a powerful journey from the Garden of Eden to Calvary — connecting Genesis 3 to John 6. In Eden, God said “Do not eat or you will die.” At Calvary, Jesus now says “Eat, or you will not have life.” The Cross becomes the new Tree of Life. The Eucharist becomes the fruit that brings eternal life. When was the last time you ate from the Tree of Life? Let this Easter season renew your love for the Mass, where heaven touches earth. #RiseUp #Eucharist #TreeOfLife #Catholic #HolyMass #John6 #Genesis3 #FrBeyer #CatholicTeaching #HappyEaster #FaithReflection

Happy Easter! In today's Rise Up, Fr. Jonathan Meyer invites us to reflect on a joyful and powerful question: What is your favorite church hymn?   Music is a vital part of our Christian life, not just at Mass, but every day. Fr. Meyer encourages us to build playlists of sacred music, dive into the lyrics of our favorite hymns, discover their biblical roots, and share them with others.   Today's Gospel reminds us: “I am the Bread of Life.” And one hymn beautifully echoes this truth: “You satisfy the hungry heart with gifts of finest wheat…”   Let your heart be filled with joy this Easter season through the gift of sacred music! #RiseUp #FavoriteHymn #FrMeyer #BreadOfLife #CatholicMusic #SacredMusic #EasterSeason #CatholicFaith

This is part two of the Why Did They Cheat? series—a four-part journey to help you decode betrayal, find your footing, and reclaim your power.   Is an emotional affair really “just” a friendship? Is a one-night stand easier to forgive than a years-long emotional betrayal? In this revealing episode, betrayal recovery coach and attorney Lora Cheadle breaks down the core differences between emotional and physical affairs—and why each one requires a different healing process. Learn how each type of betrayal impacts your identity, body, and soul—and how to start rebuilding yourself from the inside out. Top 3 Takeaways: Emotional Affairs Cut Deeper Than We Realize Emotional betrayals often feel more painful because they involve secrets, emotional intimacy, and being shut out of your partner's inner world. They strike at your identity and your sense of worth. Physical Affairs Activate Shame and Insecurity Physical infidelity can trigger body shame, fears about sexual adequacy, and deep questions around desirability—especially in a culture that already pressures women to look and perform a certain way. Healing Requires the Right Tool for the Right Wound Emotional betrayal heals best through somatic (body-based) practices, while physical betrayal often needs emotional and spiritual processing. True healing includes repairing your relationship with yourself before your partner.

Happy Easter! ✝️ As we step into a new workweek, today's Rise Up reflection challenges us to ask two important questions: What do I work for? Who do I work for?   Jesus reminds us in today's Gospel, “Do not work for food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life.” Are we busy chasing success, grades, and money—or are we working for love, for people, for eternal life?   Let's take time today to slow down, reflect, and reorient our lives toward what truly matters: the Eucharist, community, friendship, and love. Let's start a revolution of joy this Easter season!  

After receiving Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist, He asks each of us: “Do you love me more than these?” As we return to our pews, it's the perfect time to respond with love, gratitude, and commitment. Let the Risen Christ speak to your heart today. Happy Easter! Hallelujah!

Are you facing a storm in your life? Whether it's struggles with health, relationships, work, or sin, remember: you are not alone. Jesus, the one who walks on water, is with you—guiding you, leading you, and calling you by name. Take hope today!

Why Did They Cheat? The Real Reason Behind Infidelity (It's Not What You Think) This is part one of the Why Did They Cheat? series—a four-part journey to help you decode betrayal, find your footing, and reclaim your power. Think cheating is about sex, lack of love, or unmet needs at home? Think again. In this powerful episode, betrayal recovery coach and attorney Lora Cheadle uncovers the deeper psychological reasons behind infidelity—including avoidance of self, unhealed trauma, and a desperate search for validation. Whether you're staying or leaving, understanding why they cheated has nothing to do with you—and everything to do with them. This is part one in a four-part series on decoding betrayal. Top 3 Takeaways: Cheating is a Maladaptive Coping Strategy Infidelity is often driven by unresolved emotional pain and a lack of healthy coping skills—not by dissatisfaction in the relationship or lack of love. They Didn't Cheat Because of You The betrayal is not about your worth or actions. It's about their inability to face themselves, process their emotions, and validate their own identity. Understanding is Not Excusing Gaining insight into your partner's behavior helps you reclaim your peace and stop blaming yourself. But understanding is not the same as letting them off the hook—accountability and healing must still happen.

Happy Easter!

Have you ever been to a first Mass? In this powerful Easter reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer shares the beauty and grace of a priest's first Mass and how John 3:16 reveals the deeply Catholic truth of God's love—expressed through the Eucharist, the priesthood, and the sacraments.   “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son…” But how did He give us His Son? Through Mary. Through the Eucharist. Through the priesthood. This is not just a verse held up at football games. It's a profound expression of our Catholic faith.  

This past Sunday, Britton continued our sermon series in Nehemiah. In chapter 9, the people of Israel gather and recount the faithfulness of the Lord while also crying out to Him for deliverance from the oppression they've been facing as exiles due to the sins of their ancestors. In Nehemiah 10, we then see the people come together and make a covenant with the Lord to uphold His law and live in the freedom of His grace and mercy.

This past Sunday, Britton continued our "Rise Up and Build" series in chapters 2-3 of Nehemiah, reminding us that God has strategically placed each of us here for a purpose. We learned that prayer is not passive—it is active warfare, declaring our dependence on the only One strong enough to move mountains.

This week Ben continues in our Nehemiah series. Through Nehemiah 4-6, we are able to see that all of us are called to live on mission by being faithful to God's call. This text reminds us that living on mission angers and brings opposition from the enemy, requiring us to be fully dependent upon the power of God to work through us and protect us.

This Sunday Caleb continues in our Nehemiah series. He walks us through Nehemiah 7-8, reminding us that the worship of God is rooted in and founded on the Word of God.
