Having one drink can seem like the obvious way to satisfy a craving. You scratch the itch, your brain gets what it wants, and then you move on. Except sometimes having one drink seems to do the exact opposite, and suddenly you want another, and then another. This week, we're exploring why satisfying a desire doesn't always make that desire disappear. What if wanting more after that first drink doesn't mean you haven't had enough? And what if it also doesn't mean you can't trust yourself to have that first drink in the first place? Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/ Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: https://rachelhart.com/tab/ Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://rachelhart.com/483
## Episode Summary When free time finally opens up, where does your heart go by default? In this episode, Ryan Swanson opens Philippians 2 and challenges us to exchange self-serving patterns for the humble, intentional service modeled by Christ. Ask God who you can serve this week, and let the mind of Christ reshape what you reach for first. ## Topics Discussed - The default patterns that emerge when no urgent demand controls our time - Ryan's guitar habit as a revealing picture of a personal default - Philippians 2:3–11 and the mind of Christ - Moving from selfish routines to intentional service - Helping an older neighbor carry groceries and praying with her - Serving someone in the next block of free time ## Key Takeaways - What we reach for in unguarded moments often reveals what has our heart. - Christ's humility calls believers to look beyond their own interests. - Real change begins by identifying self-serving defaults and yielding them to God. - Intentional service can turn ordinary free time into an opportunity to point someone to Jesus. - Ask God for one person to serve this week, then act on the answer.

Wrong Side Out: Madness Misdiagnosed by Benton Savage https://www.amazon.com/Wrong-Side-Out-Madness-Misdiagnosed-ebook/dp/B0GRPVD4NX In Wrong Side Out, Benton Savage tells a starkly honest story of living through prolonged confusion, loss of control, and the slow work of reclaiming himself. Told from the inside, the memoir captures what it feels like when judgment falters, reality bends, and everyday decisions carry unexpected consequences, often with lasting personal cost. Savage writes openly about isolation, damaged relationships, and moments when his own instincts could not be trusted, yet the book resists easy explanations or tidy redemption. Instead, it follows a long, uneven path marked by resistance, collapse, persistence, and gradual clarity. The struggle is not abstract or symbolic; it unfolds through real events, real mistakes, and the determination to keep going when forward motion feels impossible. At its core, Wrong Side Out is a story of endurance and self-reclamation, of learning to live with limits without erasing identity, and of finding steadiness after years of imbalance. It is not about labels or diagnoses, but about what it takes to regain footing, rebuild trust in oneself, and fully reengage with life on one’s own terms. About the author Benton Savage's life story is as rich and varied as his lines of writing. His time spent navigating personal changes and traversing the diverse landscapes has indelibly shaped his perspective and literary voice. Today, Benton resides in Fort Walton Beach, Florida where he balances his property management business with his true passion, writing. His daily dedication to capturing his thoughts and experiences on paper is a testament to his unwavering commitment to exploring the complexities of the human condition. His recently released poetry book, Fortune Cookies:100 Sayings to Help you Navigate Life's Challenges, a unique collection of poetic musings that mirrors the paper fortunes found in the heart of a cookie, reached number one on Amazon for new poetry in August 2024. Savage's coming-of-age novel, Free and Satisfied, explores issues with impulsivity, alcohol, and nuances of an interracial relationship, was published in April 2025.
Abel Diaz - Satisfied by Living Faith Church
Justice Satisfied Phil. 4:8-9 (3rd in series Things to Think On)
We live in a world that constantly tells us to chase more—more success, more approval, more material things. But no matter how much we consume, we always end up empty again. "If your soul finds its thirst and hunger satisfied in Jesus, you will never thirst, never hunger, never die." So often, we search for fulfillment, identity, and approval in temporary things. We look to accomplishments, status, or human validation to fill an inner void—only to find ourselves spiritually hungry and thirsty again. But Scripture reveals a radically different truth: when your soul finds its true hunger and thirst satisfied in Jesus, you will never thirst, never hunger, and never die. Scriptures Covered in Today's Message: Colossians 1:15-20 — The Supremacy of Christ: Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, and the One through whom all things are reconciled. Colossians 1:20-23 — Reconciled & Grounded: Once alienated, we are now presented holy and blameless before God, called to remain steadfast and firmly established in the faith. Colossians 2:9-10 — Fullness in Him: In Christ, all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given this fullness in Him, who is the head over every power and authority.

Join us as we look at this Psalm of Moses to see how we can be fully satisfied in Christ Jesus. Psalm 90
John 4:27-38
This world does not satisfy our bodies. It certainly cannot satisfy our souls. In Psalm 81 the Lord offers to satisfy the souls of those who are seeking some needful thing, revealing his goodness, his grief, and his grace. Taking his offered mercies as gospel emblems, here is God offering out of himself both substance and sweetness, and so delighting the hungry soul forever.

Are you truly satisfied, or are you just getting by with things that never last? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Psalm 63 in the KJV and shows us what it means to be a passionate believer who finds full and lasting satisfaction in the Lord Jesus Christ.You might be asking: Why should I praise God every day, not just on Sundays? What does it mean that God's lovingkindness is better than life? How do I stop worrying and start trusting God? Can anything in this world truly satisfy me?Pastor Webster walks us through these key truths from God's Word:- God's lovingkindness is better than life itself, and that truth should fuel daily praise- The Apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 4:6 to stop worrying and bring everything to God in prayer with thanksgiving- Praising God in church should flow from a life of praise at home and at work- True and lasting satisfaction is only found in the Lord Jesus Christ, not in money, pleasure, or people- Colossians 3 calls us to set our affection on things above, not on earthly thingsIf you don't yet know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, Pastor Webster extends a warm and urgent invitation to you today. You're missing out on the only satisfaction that lasts, both here and in eternity.Like, comment, and share this devotion with someone who needs it.

What sustains a believer when life falls apart? When betrayal, loss, disappointment, and suffering strip away every earthly comfort, where do we turn? Psalm 63 gives us a remarkable glimpse into the heart of David during one of the darkest seasons of his life. Fleeing into the wilderness, pursued by his own son and surrounded by uncertainty, David doesn't simply endure his circumstances—he discovers that God's presence is more satisfying than anything this world could ever offer.In this sermon, we explore what it looks like to hunger for God above all else, to find delight in His steadfast love, and to worship Him even when nothing around us has changed. David's words remind us that the deepest satisfaction isn't found in comfort, success, or changing circumstances, but in knowing and experiencing the living God. Even in the wilderness, God's people can be filled with hope, strengthened by His presence, and anchored by the confidence that His love is better than life itself.Whether you're walking through a season of suffering, longing for a deeper relationship with Christ, or simply desiring a greater appetite for God, Psalm 63 offers a powerful reminder that the Lord is enough. As David lifts his eyes above the wilderness, we're invited to do the same—trusting that one day every trial will end, every wrong will be made right, and God's people will forever rejoice in His presence and His unfailing love.Key Points: 1. David's Desire 2. David's Delight 3. David's Devotion 4. David's Dependence 5. David's Destiny

Satisfied clients do not automatically become referral sources. In this episode, we break down five specific ways to build referral behavior into every client relationship, from making the result specific enough that clients have a story worth telling to designing an offboarding experience so memorable it becomes something people talk about. If your client base is not generating the referral volume it should, this episode will show you exactly what to add to your process.
Birkat HaMazon is the only blessing explicitly commanded in the Torah. But the Torah does not present it as a polite ritual after a meal. It places it between two stark possibilities - what happens when we remember, and what happens when we don't. “You will eat, be satisfied, and bless…” comes at the moment of greatest danger. Not when we are lacking, but when we feel full, secure, and self-sufficient. That is precisely when memory begins to fade. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks explains that this mitzvah is not primarily about food. It is about memory. A person who remembers being helped retains gratitude for that help. A person who forgets God's gifts begins to believe “my strength and the might of my hand made this.” Birkat HaMazon is a daily discipline designed to protect us from that drift. In this video, we explore the context of Birkat HaMazon in this week's Parsha and discover that it is far more than a blessing after eating. It is a daily discipline of memory. The Torah teaches that gratitude begins with remembering, and that forgetting God is most likely not when we are hungry, but when we are full.

Episode Summary Same-sex attraction can become an intensely lonely battle, especially when shame and fear keep a struggling believer from seeking help. In this concluding episode of the Twisted Passions series, Ryan Swanson shares three listener testimonies that point to dependence on Christ, honest accountability, wise boundaries, and a willingness to let God use a redeemed story. The episode challenges both those seeking victory and those who want to help them: condemnation alone is not enough, pride must give way to humility, and God often provides the right people to help us walk faithfully. Topics Discussed Why Christians must do more than simply preach against homosexuality Biblical identity and the way sin twists desires and emotions Turning to Christ instead of trying to overcome temptation through willpower Confiding in mature, trustworthy believers and seeking accountability Breaking the lonely cycle of pride through humility Choosing wise boundaries instead of making provision for temptation The value of godly mentorship, biblical masculinity, and biblical femininity Moving from fear and shame to a willingness to share Christ's work Using personal testimony to help others pursue victory A forthcoming series on less-discussed biblical passages about purity Key Takeaways Jesus understands temptation and remains the believer's unfailing source of strength. God often uses mature mentors, faithful friends, and accountability partners to help us walk in victory. Humility opens the door to help, while pride keeps spiritual battles hidden and isolated. Wise relationships and prudent boundaries both have a place in resisting temptation. A testimony should magnify what Christ has done rather than keep us imprisoned by shame. Victory is bigger than personal relief; God can use a surrendered life to strengthen others in the same fight.

I'll never forget those early morning seminars in Haiti. We were in Port-au-Prince, the capital city, and we were doing a youth crusade there. Every morning at 6:00 a.m. they offered four seminars in the National Gymnasium to any teenagers who wanted to come. Did I mention 6:00 a.m.? First of all, I was amazed at how many teenagers showed up. They met in the balcony of the gym in one of the corners with their leader. So, four corners – four leaders, four teachers. They had to sit on solid concrete steps that formed the benches for seating up there. They asked me to do a two-hour seminar. (Tell a speaker to please do a two-hour seminar, he's got no problem; it's the five minutes that's hard…like this program.) So, for two hours I taught teenagers the Bible. They took notes; they asked questions. Would you believe I was the first one to be done? The other three seminars were still going on. What do you think those teenagers did? They ran, each of them, to another corner hoping they might be able to catch a little bit of another seminar before it ended. I had just met believers who couldn't get enough! Just like us, right? Not necessarily. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Spiritually Hungry, Spiritually Starving.” Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Matthew 5:6. Jesus talks about appetite. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Jesus seems to be saying, “Satisfied people are those who have a hearty spiritual appetite. You want the restlessness in your heart to be cured? Then have a great spiritual appetite; be hungry for spiritual things.” That's a sign of health, right – appetite? Our appetite is often in stark contrast with the rest of God's kids around the world who can't wait to get more. My pastor went to India. He was told, “Be sure you speak for at least an hour.” He said, “No problem.” But we live in a microwave society. Everything has to be quick and instant. “Boy, you had better be done speaking by noon, Buddy, because I think God goes off duty then. Twenty-minute message, please. Thirty-minute message please. That's all we can handle.” We try to see what the minimum number of Christian meetings is we can get to a week. "Could we get this down to just Sunday morning, and could we get it down to maybe 60 minutes at most?” Maybe we could have one-minute devotions. I could just pull a quick little devotional off the shelf and I want it not to be more than one page, and I want it to be pre-packaged, and I'd like to get through it fast. Instead of taking leadership in Christian service, could I just write a check? You see what we've done? We've created a streamlined spirituality; a minimal commitment of time; a minimal commitment of me. “Let's go through the motions. I'll meet my obligations. I'll do my duty and then I'll get on with the stuff that really matters.” Can you imagine a couple in love saying, “Hey, can we keep our time together short.” No! When you're in love you can't get enough of the other person. I wonder, “Have we left our first love for Jesus?” Well, check your appetite. If you're trying to fit church, and Bible, and prayer, and service into the tightest possible time slots, maybe it's time to go for a check-up for a cold, cold heart. David said in Psalm 42, “Where can I go and meet with God? My heart pants for the Lord.” Is it time to say, “Lord, give me an insatiable appetite for You”? Maybe you'll want to un-streamline the God time in your life and grow beyond the point of “How short can we make this?” And grow to the point where you can say, “Lord, I can't get enough of You.”
Adrian Wooldridge analyzes the populist revolt against meritocracy, seen in Brexit and the election of Donald Trump. Populists argue that "experts" lack common sense and have become an arrogant, self-satisfied elite. Critics like Christopher Lasch contend that this elite has betrayed democracy by turning against traditional values. A "degenerate version" of meritocracy has emerged through assortative mating, where the cognitive elite marry each other and heavily invest in their children. This creates a "bureaucratic elite" with a meritocratic veneer, reducing social mobility and turning merit into a self-sustaining hereditary status. 71808 BANK OF ENGLAND
