Welcome to Day 2789 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2789 – A Sacrifice, A Savior, a Sword – Luke 2:21-38 Putnam Church Message – 12/28/2025 Luke's Account of the Good News - “A Sacrifice, A Savior, a Sword”   Last week, we continued our year-long study of Luke's Narrative of the Good News in a message titled: “The Nativity Revisited – Love Came Down.” This week is the final Sunday of 2025 – in some ways, it flew by in a flash, but in others, it has been a very long year. Today, we find the newborn Christ eight days old, and he is taken to the temple for circumcision and naming of the child, as every devout Hebrew did. Today's passage is the story of “A Sacrifice, A Savior, a Sword.” Our Core verses for this week are Luke 2:21-38, found on page 1591 of your Pew Bibles. Jesus Presented in the Temple  21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived. 22 When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”[b]), 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”[c] 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss[d] your servant in peace. 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31     which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.” 33 The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul, too.” 36

Of course codewords are found in the Epstein Library on the DOJ website, as are news articles and all other bits of information found to be relevant to official investigations. But codewords about hotdogs, pizza, and ice cream do not prove “pizza gate” to be a real conspiracy, since the base of said theory is factually untrue. Interestingly, there is one document which notes how “pizza gate” was employed to discredit victims of human trafficking and sex slavery and to undermine the reality of “spirit cooking.” The use of words like “goyim” or “goyum” are found in approximately 50 searches in the DOJ archive, yet nearly all are part of the same chain of documents and most are found in news articles. They are not commonly employed by Epstein or anyone else in the files, with exception to Peggy Siegal. Peggy apparently didn't bother using code, asking in one email if someone desired a baby boy or girl. Another document details the Great Work of alchemy, a coven, pints of Mormon blood, and a fertility ritual. In another, one victim says they were raped by numerous presidents and witnessed a baby (babies) being killed, torn apart, and eaten on a yacht. They also witnessed blacks being forced to have sex with blonde girls who were being beaten until bloody. These are just a few of the details which reinforce the stereotypes and the historical accusations against Jewish elites. The kidnapping of children, the draining of their blood, the cannibalism, the running of interracialpornography, etc, and, as reported by the above witness, the eating a feces. If a child is the greatest gift from God and cleanliness is next to godliness, then the sacrifice of that child, and filth, is the greatest insult to God, and the closest thing to evil.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Did you know that there is a sin so awful, so egregious, so outrageous that even God would not be able to forgive it? If you answered yes, then we're sorry. That probably means you've been needlessly traumatized. But before we get to that, we're going to introduce you to a book you've almost certainly never heard of. It's a book that didn't make it into the modern biblical canon, but very well could have. And if it had, WHOO DADDY! Things would be different today. This is the Acts of Paul and Thecla, which is the story of a woman so devoted to her faith that she throws herself into a lightning pond full of killer seals. And if you want that sentence to make sense, and get even more awesome than that, you really need to hear this story. Then, it's time for the Dans to get unforgivable. The Bible talks a lot about forgiveness, and the ways one might be forgiven. Sacrifice of an animal, repentance, baptism, grace... all of these are ways that one could be forgiven of their sins. But there's one sin that is specifically called out as being beyond forgiveness. Which is terrifying! So what is it, really? Is it actually unforgivable? Have you committed this sin???

Step into Episode 197 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with chef Beau MacMillan for an unflinching conversation about what happens when 30 years of grinding finally collide with reality.Beau has lived the highlights—celebrity chef status, Iron Chef wins, cooking for Steven Tyler, Jerry Bruckheimer, Adam Sandler, and building Sanctuary into a 23-year Arizona institution. What often goes untold is what happens when validation, recognition, and performance stop being enough.Now over 50, Beau describes feeling mentally 19 and physically 76. Decades of 14-hour days, seven-day weeks, and constant pressure caught up to him. The shift began when his wife, after prioritizing her own health, told him plainly: “We've got all these kids, and they need us. I want you to be around.This episode doesn't start with résumés or origin stories. It starts with reckoning.Beau opens up about quitting smoking after a lifetime of loving cigarettes, going alcohol-free in an industry built around booze, and rebuilding his health incrementally so he can actually be present for his wife and five kids. The yacht chapter—cooking in the Caribbean, losing 75–80 pounds, fasting, and learning to eat for fuel instead of numbing—became the baseline he's been trying to return to ever since.But this conversation goes beyond personal health. It confronts the brutal reality of hospitality: stress is the root cause, and substances, food, and dopamine become coping mechanisms when the pressure never stops. Beau reflects on thriving in chaos, the rush of 350-cover nights, and how the same wiring that made him great also made him numb.Leadership and legacy take center stage as Beau challenges industry norms—calling for clean, organized, desirable kitchens, real mentorship, and cultures where people stay because they know they matter. Success, for him, was never titles or money, but “beautiful people, beautiful places, beautiful food.Chapter Guide (Timestamps)(0:00 – 2:40) Introduction: Skipping the Origin Story and Starting in the Present(2:41 – 8:40) Turning 50: Health Wake-Up, Family Priorities, Quitting Smoking and Alcohol(8:41 – 15:20) The Yacht Chapter: Solitude, Weight Loss, Fasting, and Food as Fuel(15:21 – 23:35) Food, Addiction, and Incremental Change: Nourishment Over Numbing(23:36 – 31:15) The Invisible Weight of the Grind: 7-Day Weeks and Dopamine Highs(31:16 – 40:00) Kitchens, Culture, and Retention: Why Young Chefs Are Leaving(40:01 – 46:30) Stress as the Root Cause: Healing Hospitality and Managing Pressure(46:31 – 55:30) Sanctuary Legacy: Mentorship, Relationships, and Redefining Success(55:31 – 1:04:00) Early Career and Recognition: Celebrity Diners, TV, and Iron Chef(1:04:01 – 1:12:30) The Handwritten Letter: Top Chef, Timing, and Full-Circle Moments(1:12:31 – 1:20:00) Arizona as Home: Community, Gratitude, and What's Simmering(1:20:01 – 1:27:30) Resting, Consulting, and Manifesting the Next Chapter(1:27:31 – End) Quiet Heroes, True Impact, and Final ReflectionsThis isn't a redemption story.

Life creates many in-between moments. Sometimes those moments look like: staring at broken drywall and hanging lights in a thousand-square-foot former law office, wondering if you just made the biggest mistake of your life. In this inspiring episode of The Space In-Between, I sit down with my neighbor, gym owner, and fellow Teddy Roosevelt admirer, Graham Wilkerson, founder of Genesis Sports Performance and Athlete Lead Engine.Graham's story isn't just about building a successful fitness business—it's about grit, sacrifice, and the deep personal belief it takes to create something meaningful when the outcome is completely uncertain. From emptying his bank account as a 23-year-old history major with zero industry experience, to working 60-hour weeks while watching his friends get married and go on vacations, Graham shares the raw reality of entrepreneurship that most people don't talk about.We dive into the moment his now-wife Shelby paid for his St. Bernard's emergency surgery because he couldn't afford it—and how that became the wake-up call that changed everything. Graham opens up about nearly quitting, partnering with his former competitor Dale Speckman, surviving COVID, and how the Teddy Roosevelt quote "Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, and difficulty" became so foundational to his journey that he had it tattooed on his chest.Whether you're building a business, navigating a career transition, or simply trying to find your footing during an uncertain season, this conversation offers powerful insights on staying the course when the future feels impossible to see.To accompany today's episode, Graham and I are extending a members-only promotion as a thank you to the current members of Genesis Gym.

In this episode, Tony Tellado dives into The Deal, a gripping near‑future sci‑fi thriller that imagines a world where survival comes at the ultimate cost. In this society, citizens can sign a contract guaranteeing twenty years of food, shelter, and stability — but when the clock runs out, so does their life. It's a chilling, timely exploration of inequality, desperation, and the moral compromises people make when the system leaves them behind. Tony sits down with two of the creative forces behind the film — star and producer Sumalee Montano and legendary producer Dean Devlin (Independence Day, Stargate, Leverage) — to unpack how this haunting story came to life.

Modern women are doing the most—tracking, supplementing, optimizing—yet still feel tired, inflamed, and strangely off. And sometimes the issue isn't another protocol. It's the life you're living. Queen Oluwatobiloba explores women's holistic wellness through a lens we don't talk about enough: alignment. We unpack how your environment can mirror your internal season, why "being stuck" drains your vitality, and how discomfort is often the clearest sign you're choosing something true. We also go into motherhood as an initiation (and why mom guilt is so biologically sticky), plus the missing longevity conversation: no supplement can override the relationship, job, or lifestyle that keeps your nervous system in survival mode.  WE TALK ABOUT:  07:40 - Womb power as the courage muscle for radical change  12:45 - Differentiating sensing from feeling for clearer decisions  14:00 - Nature archetypes as a map for energy, boundaries, and burnout risk  19:35 - Motherhood revealing your true nature and unmet support needs  22:20 - Sacrifice, support, and why moms hit depletion so fast  26:35 - Releasing guilt and shame as a hormonal + energetic reset  29:40 - Womb connection practice to identify what you're carrying  38:30 - When "fixing the symptom" hides unresolved root patterns  40:45 - Longevity through value alignment and living by your blueprint  45:00 - Why biohacking can't override a misaligned life  53:55 - Choosing discomfort now to protect vitality later SPONSORS: Join me in Costa Rica for Optimize Her, a 5-night luxury women's retreat in Costa Rica with yoga, healing rituals, and biohacking workshops—only 12 spots available.

Netflix's Unreal pulls back the curtain on how WWE builds its weekly spectacle—from live storylines to nonstop deadlines and the physical and emotional toll on performers. In this episode, I share my personal reaction as both a longtime wrestling fan and a filmmaker: what it reveals about creative pressure, illusion, sacrifice, and why some industries demand a level of commitment most of us couldn't sustain.This isn't a traditional review—it's a reflection on what it costs to make spectacle at scale, how live performance compares to film and TV, and how to hold space for both appreciation and accountability inside massive entertainment systems.We also touch on the larger WWE controversy, why it's not always as simple as boycotting an entire industry, and how to support performers while still calling for better systems.

Elder Bruce C. Hafen and his wife, Marie, spoke to BYU-Idaho Radio about their recent devotional expanding on the lessons taught

Elder Bruce C. Hafen and his wife, Marie, spoke to BYU-Idaho students about the importance of sacrifice. Elder Hafen shared a story about his lifelong friend, President Jeffery R. Holland, when he was at a crossroads when deciding if he should serve a mission or not. This sacrifice would go on to forever impact his life. Elder Hafen said the Lord requires sacrifices to help His disciples grow into who He expects them to be.

This message by Steve Luibrand was delivered to Christ Church of Rapid City, SD on January 18, 2026.

This episode teaches that following Jesus means embracing the narrow way—a path of humility, pruning, and sacrifice where God uses pressure to form Christlike character. Through Scripture and personal stories, it shows the narrow place as preparation, not punishment, calling believers to release even past blessings, trust God fully, and grow in prayer, mission, and love for others.

True generosity isn't just about money; it's about a love that naturally overflows even when it requires sacrifice. We often hold back out of fear or a need for control, but living a sacrificial life leads to a joy that a "just-in-case" mindset never will.

Warning: You may cry (we definitely did) Fitz and Dutiful, knowing this is the end, try to delay the inevitable to allow Lord Golden and Nighteyes to escape. Dutiful allows the Cat/Peladine to approach him and the Cat launches herself at Fitz, asking for death. With sacrifice comes a fight where they're saved by Old Blood elders and Laurel's return. The day saved, everyone ignores FitzChivalry and his bond partner Nighteyes as they rest together for a final time. The hunt awaits.  Through our tears, we're reading Fool's Errand by Robin Hobb, book 1 of the Tawny Man Trilogy in The Realm of the Elderlings. 

“When did the practice of Eucharistic adoration start?” This question opens a discussion on the historical roots of this cherished devotion, alongside inquiries about the nature of the Eucharist on Holy Thursday, the nuances of language in John 6 regarding the act of eating, and the significance of the Eucharist as a sacrifice. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:34 – When did the practice of Eucharistic adoration start? 13:35 – Is the Eucharist given on Holy Thursday the same as what we have at Mass now? Because on Holy Thursday he had not yet died and risen, so how could it be the same? 17:23 – If John 6 uses two different words for eat, on of which indicates chewing or gnawing, why don't we see that in the English translations? 29:23 – The English word “this” in the words of institution seems vague to me. Why isn't there a more specific word? Shouldn't the words indicate exactly what “this” is? 36:29 – Can you explain the importance of the Eucharist as a sacrifice? 45:40 – Wouldn't Jesus' body have to be omnipresent to be able to be really present at Masses all around the world? I read this question in the book “Reasoning from the Scriptures with Catholics” and am wondering how to answer. 51:48 – Why do some parishes not distribute the blood of Jesus at Communion?

The couple, married for just 6 months, faces a daunting $244K in debt with zero savings, fueled by previous "guilt-free" spending and a shocking $170K windfall that disappeared.
