This month brought a relentless barrage of explosive cover-ups, deep-state collusion, and critical revelations that the regime's fake-news apparatus refuses to touch.

Step into a deeply honest, courageous, and eye-opening conversation with Ralph Brewer, founder of Help For Men and creator of Dad Starting Over, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Ralph's work has helped hundreds of thousands of men rebuild their confidence, heal after divorce, navigate relationship breakdowns, and rediscover themselves through personal responsibility rather than blame. Drawing from his own painful journey through infidelity, divorce, co-parenting, and emotional healing, Ralph shares how what once felt like the greatest failure of his life ultimately became the foundation of his life's purpose. What began as surviving a devastating marriage evolved into mentoring men around the world toward healthier relationships—with themselves first. Together, Allana and Ralph explore the hidden dynamics behind "dead bedrooms," emotional disconnection, anxious attachment, codependency, and the patterns that quietly destroy intimacy long before relationships end. Ralph vulnerably explains how many men unknowingly become trapped in people-pleasing, reassurance-seeking, and "Nice Guy Syndrome," only to realize that true attraction begins with becoming emotionally secure rather than trying harder to earn love. The conversation moves beyond relationship advice into something much deeper: self-awareness. Rather than focusing on blaming a partner for betrayal or emotional distance, both Allana and Ralph discuss the transformative power of radical ownership. They explore how healing begins when we become willing to examine our own blind spots, attachment wounds, fears, and unconscious behaviors without excusing harmful actions from others. Throughout the episode, they unpack why so many people ignore their intuition in relationships. Ralph shares how insecurity often causes us to overlook obvious warning signs because we fear losing love more than we value listening to ourselves. Together they discuss the importance of learning to trust uncomfortable feelings rather than immediately trying to suppress or escape them. A powerful part of the discussion centers on emotional healing and the courage to simply feel. Ralph explains that many men are conditioned to suppress grief, fear, sadness, and vulnerability, believing strength means emotional silence. Instead, he argues that emotional resilience comes from allowing difficult feelings to exist without immediately trying to fix, numb, or avoid them. Allana beautifully expands on this idea by exploring how unprocessed emotions become stored within the body and eventually impact our relationships, health, and overall well-being. She explains how healing the emotional body often transforms physical symptoms, confidence, posture, intimacy, and self-worth in ways many people never expect. The conversation also explores what happens when genuine personal growth changes the trajectory of a relationship. Ralph explains that as many men become healthier, more emotionally secure, and more authentic, they sometimes discover that their relationship was built on unhealthy foundations. While painful, they discuss how choosing truth over comfort can become one of the greatest acts of love—for themselves, their children, and even their former partners. Allana and Ralph speak candidly about conscious uncoupling, raising emotionally healthy children, and releasing the shame often associated with divorce. Rather than seeing the end of a relationship as failure, they invite listeners to view it as an opportunity for growth, accountability, compassion, and creating healthier models of love for future generations. The conversation concludes by highlighting the importance of community, mentorship, and authentic male friendship. Ralph shares why he created The Brotherhood—a space where men can openly discuss struggles that are rarely spoken about elsewhere, receive support without judgment, and learn that vulnerability is not weakness but one of the greatest expressions of courage. We also talk about: Healing after infidelity and divorce Dead bedrooms and emotional disconnection Codependency and "Nice Guy Syndrome" Radical self-ownership Learning to trust intuition Sitting with uncomfortable emotions Physical health and emotional well-being Masculinity and emotional vulnerability Conscious uncoupling and co-parenting Personal responsibility versus blame Brotherhood, mentorship, and community Becoming secure from within rather than seeking external validation This episode is a powerful reminder that healing doesn't begin when someone else changes—it begins when we become willing to face ourselves with honesty, compassion, and courage. Sometimes the path to finding real love begins by learning that you are already enough. About Ralph: Ralph Brewer is the founder of Help For Men and creator of Dad Starting Over, two influential platforms supporting men through divorce, dead bedrooms, and modern relationship breakdowns. He is the author of five books, including his most recognized title, The Dead Bedroom Fix, which has earned hundreds of 5-star reviews on Amazon and become a go-to resource for men ready to reclaim their confidence and clarity. Ralph combines honest storytelling with practical guidance—offering mentorship, not therapy—to help men rebuild their lives, relationships, and self-worth. Through coaching programs, digital courses, and his private Brotherhood community, he provides tools men can actually use. Whether you're divorced, stuck in a strained marriage, or just feeling invisible, Ralph's message meets men where they are—and calls them to lead themselves forward.

Roots of Change Podcast Episode 102: When the Symptoms Are Visible but the Truth Is HiddenA healthcare executive had been told for months that a rural facility couldn't keep staff because of the labour market. When Diane Gudmundson went directly to the community, she found something completely different. There were people available. They just wouldn't apply. Because in a small town, word travels. And the word about that workplace had been travelling for a long time.In this episode, Diane walks through what she actually found on the ground, how that information was altered at every level before it reached the executive, and what it reveals about one of the most dangerous gaps in healthcare leadership. The gap between what the data shows and what is actually happening with the people inside and around an organization.She also walks through the specific questions patient-centred leaders ask differently, and why going to the ground is not a soft leadership approach. It is the most sophisticated intelligence work a healthcare executive can do.If you are a senior healthcare leader and this resonates with your organization, send Diane a direct message with the word ROOTS, and she will share the next step.Secure your copy of Rooted to Rise: The Rise of the Patient-Centred Leader: www.dianegudmundson.com/rtrbookBook an Identity and Life Purpose Consultation: https://calendly.com/dianegudmundson1/initial-1-1-45-min-identity-life-purposeTo book a call for your organization, email Diane directly at support@dianegudmundson.com
Bad staff will sink a business faster than almost anything. But what if the reason you can't seem to keep good people, or get the ones you have to lift, runs deeper than the hires themselves? In this episode Michael Mojo digs into why so many business owners feel trapped by a team that won't perform, and why the usual fixes (better hiring, more rules, tighter management) rarely solve it on their own. He makes a case that shifts how you see the whole problem, and it starts somewhere most owners never think to look. He gets into the popular "work on your business, not in it" advice and why it quietly backfires, why struggling owners tend to share one specific blind spot, and how culture becomes the real energy running through a company or the thing slowly draining it. He also unpacks why celebrating small wins builds momentum that big distant goals never will. The conversation then opens up into something bigger: why we started paying people for time instead of value, where that broken idea came from, and what changes when you rebuild a business around output and contribution instead of hours logged. Michael explains why the best performers are drawn to certain leaders and quietly avoid others, and what that says about the kind of team you're currently attracting. If you've ever blamed your team and wondered why nothing changes, this one will give you a very different place to start. In this episode: Why "work on your business, not in it" can quietly work against you The one blind spot struggling owners tend to share How your standards ripple through the entire organisation Why culture is the energy of a business, not a buzzword The small-wins habit that builds momentum big goals can't Why paying for time instead of value is a broken model How to shift a team from money-focused to value-focused Why top performers are drawn to some leaders and avoid others Official channel and episode of the Winning Standards Podcast hosted by Michael Mojo.

What if finding clients didn't have to feel like constantly convincing people to work with you? What if instead, you could create an experience where people get a real result, see what you're capable of, and naturally want more? In this episode, I'm talking with health coach and founder of The Wellness Vault, Valerie Feghali, about one of her favorite ways to serve potential clients and grow a coaching business: running challenges. Valerie shares how she began using challenges to grow her own coaching business and why they can be such a powerful way to help people experience a quick win, build trust, and see the value of working with you.

Certainty in dating is a fantasy. There is no milestone, not exclusivity, not "I love you," not moving in, not marriage, that finally makes relationship anxiety go away. In this episode Sabrina breaks down why your brain would rather have a bad answer than no answer, how anxious attachment turns an unanswered text into a story about rejection, and why chasing, overthinking, testing, people pleasing, and checking your phone every five seconds are ways of managing anxiety rather than dating strategies. She also separates the two kinds of discomfort: walking on eggshells, accepting breadcrumbs, and tolerating mixed signals and inconsistency, versus asking for what you need, setting boundaries, saying no, and letting someone leave. Plus the tool of the week, evidence versus story, a simple practice for catching the narrative your brain invents when you do not have all the information. Secure people are not secure because they have certainty, they have capacity. Pre-order Sabrina's book coming out October 2026, "Why Am I Like This?"

Maybe you talk yourself out of the first class seat. Maybe your daughter asks for the nail design, and you hear yourself say "that's a waste of money" in a voice that isn't even yours. That is money having power over you instead of you having power over money. And there is always a pattern underneath it. In this episode, I break down the pattern, the core wound sitting below it, and why it usually traces back to abandonment. I share the story of a woman in my Millionaire Club who just hit her highest cash month ever at $133,000 and still couldn't bring herself to buy the dream home she can easily afford. I read you the post from a local moms group that made every scarcity belief in the comments section visible. And I tell you about the $295,000 G Wagon I paid cash for in 2022 when everyone said I was crazy, and what happened to my money after. In this episode: Why the fear of "wasting" money has nothing to do with money The core wound underneath the justify-every-purchase pattern Why a million dollar home and a $15 nail design carry the exact same weight when you have this pattern How playing it safe with money guarantees your money stays exactly where it is The first $3,000 investment that terrified me, and how I got to $25,000 a month in mentorship Why abundance consciousness expands and lack consciousness expands too, so choose The moment I asked my own mother to never tell me not to waste my money again The worst kind of broke you could ever be is to have the money and not be able to enjoy it. There is another way, and it is so much more fun. Ready to break your pattern?

It's time for another Listener Mail episode, and this week the High on Home Grown community has sent in another brilliant mix of growing questions, cannabis myths, and a few completely random discussions that only Listener Mail can deliver! We begin by helping a listener who's planning a brand-new grow room after moving house. We discuss the pros and cons of building a secure enclosure inside a garage, how to make it as smell-proof as possible, and the key things to consider when growing safely with young children around. We also dive into the best methods for long-term cannabis storage, including whether vacuum sealing is a good option and how to preserve your harvest for months, or even years. The panel also tackles a common harvest question: can you dry your cannabis in the same tent you grew it in by simply turning off the lights? We discuss the ideal drying conditions, what to watch out for, and how to get the best possible cure. We also bust an old cannabis myth by asking whether Miracle-Gro really "sucks the THC" out of your plants, separating internet folklore from reality. Of course, it wouldn't be Listener Mail without a few lighter moments. We compare cannabutter vs cannabis oil for making edibles, answer a couple of wonderfully ridiculous philosophical questions, and even try to make sense of one of Dave's mysterious text messages. As always, it's another relaxed episode packed with practical growing advice, cannabis knowledge, community questions, and plenty of laughs along the way.
Those Long-Term Chip Deals May Not Be as Secure as Investors Are Led to Believe When you listen to memory chip companies like Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology discuss their businesses, they often make it sound like customer contracts—some extending as long as five years—are essentially set in stone. Unfortunately, that's not entirely true. Yes, these companies have long-term agreements in place, but contracts in this industry are often renegotiated when market conditions change. If demand for memory chips weakens significantly, chip manufacturers have a strong incentive to work with their customers rather than strictly enforce every contractual commitment. The reason is simple: preserving long-term customer relationships is often far more valuable than maximizing short-term revenue. Imagine a customer that suddenly doesn't need as many chips because its own sales have slowed. If a supplier forces that customer to accept unwanted inventory, those chips may simply sit in a warehouse until demand recovers. By the time the customer needs additional chips, it may choose to reduce future orders or move business to a competitor that proved to be more flexible during difficult times. Competitors are always looking for opportunities to gain market share. If one supplier refuses to work with its customers, another is usually willing to offer better pricing or more favorable terms. Losing a major customer over a rigid interpretation of a contract can cost far more in future profits than making temporary concessions during a downturn. This isn't just theory and it has happened before. During the COVID-era, many long-term agreements were adjusted as demand shifted. Rather than forcing customers to take products they no longer needed, suppliers often renegotiated delivery schedules and purchasing commitments to preserve long-term partnerships. The same principle applies across many industries. Companies frequently modify or delay large commercial agreements when business conditions change. While contracts provide a framework, successful businesses understand that maintaining trust with key customers is often more important than enforcing every clause to the letter. Investors should remember that a signed contract does not necessarily guarantee future revenue will be recognized exactly as originally planned. Management teams often emphasize the value of their long-term agreements during earnings calls, but those agreements can evolve if market conditions deteriorate. At the end of the day, great businesses understand that customer relationships are built over years but can be damaged in a matter of weeks. In many cases, giving a customer flexibility during a downturn is a much better investment than insisting on strict contract enforcement. That's why investors should view long-term chip contracts as valuable, but not invincible. Why Index Investing Could Leave You Disappointed Long Term I often hear people say, "Just buy the S&P 500 and forget about it. You'll be fine." While that sounds simple, investing is rarely that easy. Many investors don't fully understand how an index works or why it has performed so well in recent years. The S&P 500 has been driven largely by a handful of technology and AI companies. By blindly investing in the index, many people are simply participating in a momentum strategy without realizing it. Very little thought is given to what those 500 companies are actually worth. There is no effort to trim positions that have become extremely expensive or overly concentrated. As valuations climb, the index simply gives those companies an even larger weighting, leaving investors with greater exposure to the stocks that have already gone up the most. Some people respond by saying, "I won't put everything in the S&P 500. I'll diversify into other index funds." But once you go down that road, investing becomes much more complicated and you'll likely underperform the S&P 500. Should you own an international index? A European index? A bond index? A growth index? A value index? Small-cap funds? REITs? There are hundreds of ETFs and mutual funds to choose from. Now you have another challenge: deciding how much to allocate to each one. When your portfolio declines will you understand why? More importantly, will you know what to do next? Many investors don't, and that uncertainty often leads to emotional decisions at exactly the wrong time. This is why I prefer managing a portfolio of individual value-oriented stocks, combined with money market funds and selected real estate investment trusts (REITs). That approach still provides diversification, but I understand what each investment is worth and why I own it. In my view, that's a much better foundation than owning five or ten different index funds without truly understanding what's inside them or how they're valued. Another common argument for index investing is lower fees. While fees certainly matter, they shouldn't be the only factor. The number that ultimately matters is your total return after all fees and expenses. A lower fee doesn't automatically translate into better long-term performance. If you own index funds, take some time to look under the hood. Do you really understand what you own? Do you know which sectors dominate your portfolio, which companies make up the largest holdings, and how expensive those businesses are today? If the answer is no, don't assume you'll be comfortable when the market experiences its next major decline. Investors who don't understand what they own are often the first to panic, and that confusion can lead to costly investment mistakes. The U.S. economy is still in much better shape than many people think. This week brought three major events for investors: GDP, PCE inflation, and the Federal Reserve meeting. While the headlines may have sounded mixed, the underlying data still paints a healthy consumer. Second-quarter GDP grew at a 1.5% annualized rate, below economists' expectations. At first glance, that may seem disappointing. But when you look under the hood, the economy continues to show resilience. Consumer spending, which accounts for nearly 70% of U.S. GDP, increased 3.2% after a weak first quarter where it only climbed 0.5%. That tells me the American consumer is still in good shape, and that's one of the biggest reasons the economy continues to avoid the recession that so many have been predicting. Major drags on the headline GDP figure included government spending, which reduced growth by 0.14 percentage points, as well as the more volatile components of trade and the change in private inventories, which subtracted 1.01 and 0.67 percentage points, respectively. Inflation remains the biggest challenge. The Fed's preferred inflation measure, core PCE, increased 3.3% over the past year. While that's an improvement from where we've been, it's still well above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. I continue to believe inflation will remain sticky until energy prices become more stable. Energy impacts transportation, manufacturing, and virtually every supply chain, so it's difficult to see inflation falling sustainably while energy costs remain volatile. The Fed, as expected, left interest rates unchanged. What stood out wasn't the decision, it was the growing disagreement among policymakers. The 3 dissents that voted for a 25-basis point increase highlight just how uncertain the economic outlook remains. When inflation is still elevated but the economy continues to grow, there isn't an easy policy answer. One thing I do like so far is Kevin Warsh's changes at the Fed. I like the simplified statement, the encouragement of differing viewpoints, and rather than projecting absolute confidence in economic forecasts, he has acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding them. That's a refreshing change. Economic forecasting has never been an exact science, and I would rather have a Fed Chair who recognizes the limitations of those projections than one who pretends they are precise. What's surprising is how quickly some of the talking heads have claimed Warsh already has a credibility problem. I don't see it that way. Credibility isn't about making bold predictions that later need to be revised. It's about being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and allowing incoming data to guide policy. The takeaway for investors is simple: don't let one headline drive your investment decisions. The economy continues to expand, consumers are still spending, inflation remains stubborn, and the Fed is navigating a difficult policy environment. Looking beneath the surface is often where you'll find the real story. Leverage Is Fuel... Until It Becomes the Fire The last few weeks have been a reminder that leverage looks like a wonderful tool on the way up... but it's a devastating one on the way down. FINRA's new margin rules have effectively replaced the 25-year-old Pattern Day Trader rule, allowing traders with as little as $2,000 to make unlimited day trades using intraday margin. While this opens the door for more retail participation, it also means more investors have access to leverage, something that has historically magnified both gains and losses. This is a big problem considering FINRA margin debt climbed 49% year over year to another record in June of roughly $1.5 trillion. This comes as investor net credit balances have fallen to a record negative $1.06 trillion. In other words, investors collectively owe more on margin than they have sitting in cash accounts. For comparison's sake, in March 2000 this measure stood at a negative $0.13 trillion. That's an aggressive setup if volatility returns. We also saw this past week the spectacular collapse of Leopold Aschenbrenner's AI-focused hedge fund, Situational Awareness, which shows what can happen when conviction is paired with excessive leverage. The near 25-year-old Aschenbrenner was painted as a genius with strong credentials like being Columbia University's valedictorian at age 19. His fund was launched in July 2024 and he had no experience managing money before that. Before this month's decline the fund had gains of more than 1,000% since inception. The fund used tons of leverage with some saying as much as 400% to build massive positions in AI and semiconductor stocks while shorting stocks in the software space like Adobe. The problem is when names like Coreweave, Nebius, and Sandisk fell more than 50% from their highs and the software stocks rallied, margin calls forced the liquidation of most of its public equity portfolio. The result was staggering considering the fund peaked at above $45 billion in assets and with the selloff they plunged to around $10 billion. This forced a fire sale of assets at a discount to Ken Griffin's Citadel. Some speculate that the forced selling may have helped create the bottom. Once one of the market's largest leveraged sellers had finished liquidating, the selling pressure eased and many AI stocks staged a sharp rebound. Others believe the selling is not over as Michael Burry reportedly used Thursday's powerful rally as an opportunity to increase several of his bearish positions in Micron, Nvidia and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF. Whether he's ultimately right or wrong remains to be seen, but it's a reminder that some experienced investors still believe AI-related valuations and leverage remain stretched. Here Come the Robots! Robots have been making their way into manufacturing for decades. The first industrial robotic arm, called Unimate, was installed in 1961 on the assembly line at a General Motors plant in Trenton, New Jersey. But today's robots are very different. They're no longer just stationary robotic arms bolted to the factory floor, they're starting to look and move like humans. That reality is beginning to make workers uneasy. At a Hyundai Motor plant in South Korea, employees have gone on a partial strike, with concerns over automation playing a role. Hyundai recently unveiled its humanoid robot, Atlas, which stands 6'2", weighs about 200 pounds, can lift up to 110 pounds, and can continuously carry nearly 70 pounds. It's easy to understand why workers are wondering what these machines could mean for their jobs. South Korea is already the world leader in industrial robot adoption, with approximately 1,220 industrial robots for every 10,000 manufacturing employees. By comparison, the United States has around 307 robots per 10,000 workers. One statistic that surprised me was China, which currently has only about 166 industrial robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers. If Elon Musk has anything to say about it, those numbers could change dramatically over the next several years. Tesla is aggressively developing its humanoid robot, Optimus, with the goal of having it help build vehicles in its factories before long. If that vision becomes reality, other manufacturers will almost certainly follow. The idea of humanoid robots can be unsettling, but the transition is likely to be slower than many people expect. Industry forecasts suggest that global annual production of humanoid robots could reach roughly 1.2 million units by 2030. While that sounds like a large number, it's still a tiny fraction of the global workforce. So, we're probably still a few years away from living like The Jetsons. If you're not familiar with the cartoon, it debuted in September 1962 and imagined a future filled with flying cars and household robots. I guess I will have to wait a few more years to get a maid like the Jetsons had named Rosie the robot. Financial Planning: Tax Relief Coming for Older Home Sellers? The federal home sale capital gain exclusion has remained unchanged since 1997, allowing homeowners to exclude up to $250,000 of gain if single or $500,000 if married filing jointly when selling a primary residence. With home values rising significantly over the past three decades, particularly in high-cost areas like California, many long-time homeowners now face substantial capital gains taxes when downsizing. A new proposal, the Nest Egg Protection Act, would increase the exclusion to $1 million for homeowners age 65 and older who have owned and lived in their home for at least 25 years. This would allow more seniors to keep the equity they've built over a lifetime. In addition to providing tax relief, the proposal could encourage more older homeowners to sell, increasing housing inventory and making homeownership more attainable for first-time buyers. While the legislation has not yet been enacted and homeowners should continue planning under current law, the proposal reflects a growing recognition that the existing exclusion no longer aligns with today's housing market.

Secure enough to serve — Episode 1 The scriptures make it clear that we are to serve one another. "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love." (Galatians 5.13)But what will give us the confidence to truly love, serve and care for one another? That's what we're exploring today in a new series on John 13, continuing our exploration of, One Another Christianity, based on the Bible's "one another" commands and promises.This is Episode 1: Secure Enough to Serve.Episode 4: Secure Enough to Serve We've seen that the "one another" commands call us to love, forgive, encourage, bear with and serve one another. But if we're honest, that isn't easy.Living this way requires vulnerability and courage. It means risking rejection, misunderstanding and disappointment. And that can feel impossible unless we're deeply secure in who we are.Having a strong and settled identity is vital, not only for us as individuals, but for the health of our churches. If we're going to finish the race faithfully, and help our friends, neighbours and loved ones do the same, we need to know who we are.So, who are you?We all have many identities. At school, I was "the headmaster's son". Today, I'm a minister. To the insurance company, I'm a homeowner and a policyholder. In my family, I'm Penny's husband, Talaya's grandfather, and Fred and Lydia's father.Those identities are real. But are they my deepest identity?There's an recent film (Hail Mary) where an astronaut wakes from a coma, and the first question he asks is, "Who am I?" It's one of the most important questions any of us can answer. Jesus knew the answer.In John chapter 13, everything is about to change. Jesus is spending His final evening with the disciples before the cross. Instead of giving them one last dramatic speech, He does something stunning. He washes their feet. John gives us the reason before describing the action."Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God." (John 13:3) Jesus knew where He came from. He knew where He was going. He knew the Father had entrusted everything to Him. Because His identity was completely secure, He was free to take the role of a servant. Humility grows best in the soil of security.The more secure we become in God's love, the less we need to defend ourselves, prove ourselves or compare ourselves with others. We become free to love. Free to forgive. Free to serve. Free to live out the "one another" life Jesus calls us to.Perhaps that's a good prayer for today: "Father, remind me who I am in Christ. Help me find my security in Your love, so that I can serve others with the same humility Jesus showed."Reflection Questions: Which of my identities tends to define me most strongly? How does knowing I belong to God give me the freedom to serve others? What is one practical way I can show Christ-like humility to someone today? If you have any questions or feedback, please contact me at malcolm@malcolmcox.org.Many thanks for listening. May you grow ever more secure in Christ's love, and from that security find the freedom to serve others with joy.Take care, and God bless.MalcolmImage courtesy of Lumo Project Films – www.lumoproject.com

Maciek Palmowski is on the podcast today to discuss his WordCamp Europe presentation on whether "secure hosting" lives up to its claims in the WordPress ecosystem. He described penetration tests of multiple providers, revealing that the majority of WordPress-specific vulnerabilities made it through hosts' defenses. He emphasised that simply seeing "secure hosting" on a landing page means little without WordPress-aware security layers. He also talks about the fact that different hosts using the same tools still produced different results, and that bold security claims in marketing often mask deeper shortcomings. The episode also touched on AI's amplification of threats and why transparent security conversations matter.

In this homily given on the 17th Sunday of Ordinary Time (July 5, 2026), Father Mathias preaches the parable of the treasure buried in the field. He outlines three reasons why people don't joyfully sell all they have (surrender) to secure the treasure of Jesus. 1) They simply haven't found Jesus yet. 2) They have found him, but they're not convinced of his real value3) They have found him and they're convinced of his value, but they refuse to change and repent.After relating this parable to the five thresholds of conversion and the mission of St Pat's, Father ends his homily challenging us to identify our hesitancy and resist joyfully selling all that we have to secure Jesus our treasure.
I feel so sorry for people who from day to day struggle with their relationship to God. Is God gonna kick me out today or what. This is no way to live. Because of the finished work of Christ, we can be secure.

What if trusting life doesn't mean trusting that everything will become stable, coherent, or reassuring? In this episode, Vanessa explores change as both a spiritual and psychological problem: why we confuse trust with continuity, why change can feel like abandonment, and what it means to stay in relationship with reality as it keeps moving. Through Octavia Butler's “God is Change,” Heraclitus, Buddhist impermanence, process theology, attachment theory, meaning-making research, and Jungian transformation, we look at the grief and freedom of releasing the fantasy that life's job is to preserve the forms we love. Trust is not certainty that everything will work out; it is the willingness to remain present with what is real as it changes form.For educational purposes only.

Listen and subscribe to Money Making Conversations on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, www.moneymakingconversations.com/subscribe/ or wherever you listen to podcasts. New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Katrina Fitten. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to educate entrepreneurs—especially women business owners—on how to secure funding responsibly, avoid scams, and develop a strategic financial plan. It also highlights Katrina Fitten’s expertise as CEO/CFO of New Day for You Financial and her mission to help startups and small businesses access capital. Key Takeaways Funding Opportunities & Qualifications Katrina helps women business owners secure up to $100,000 in 100 days or less, with same-day approval and next-day funding. Basic qualifications include: Credit score of 680+ Existing credit lines (at least $10,000) A clear business mission and low-risk profile. Avoiding Scams Beware of unsolicited emails/texts promising easy money. Do your homework: Check companies on Better Business Bureau (BBB). Look for testimonials and partnerships with reputable banks (e.g., Chase, American Express). Never share sensitive information without verifying legitimacy. Importance of a Business Plan Funding is not free money—you need a strategic plan. Katrina calls it a “money mission”: know exactly how funds will be deployed. Without a plan, money disappears quickly, leading to debt and bad credit. Family & Friends Lending Treat personal loans like business loans: Have written agreements with terms, repayment schedule, and penalties. Decide upfront if it’s a gift or a loan. Services Offered by New Day for You Financial SBA loans, equipment loans, purchase order financing. Lines of credit and 0% interest credit cards (18–21 months). Credit card stacking for higher funding amounts. Credit restoration referrals for those with poor credit. Success Story Example: A tax accountant secured $160,000 in less than a week due to strong credit, revenue history, and a solid business plan. Notable Quotes “If you don’t have a plan for your money, your money will have a plan—and you’ll look up and it’s gone.” “We don’t want to be out here racking up good debt and then you’re not going to be responsible.” “You have to vet companies. Go to BBB, Google them, and check their credibility.” “If I give you money, I decide—is it a gift or a loan? There are rules to borrowing money.” “We say if you don’t get anything, we don’t get paid.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
