In Luke 6:37-42, we encounter a powerful teaching on self-awareness and judgment. Jesus asks, 'Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the log in your own?' This question challenges us to examine our tendency to judge others while overlooking our own faults. The passage reminds us that true spiritual growth begins with honest self-reflection. We're called to address our own shortcomings before attempting to correct others. This teaching invites us to cultivate humility and empathy, recognizing that we all struggle with sin. By acknowledging our own 'logs,' we can approach others with compassion rather than condemnation. Ultimately, this scripture encourages us to foster a community of grace, where we support each other's growth instead of passing judgment.

It's not always enough to see but we also need to see clearly. Jesus' disciples didn't always see (understand) clearly who Jesus was. How can we make sure we understand Jesus clearly today?

One of the deepest desires of the human heart is to be known. To be seen. To be noticed.But what if the way we see others is the very thing getting in the way?This Sunday we're talking about Seeing Clearly—and yes, it has something to do with middle school dances, grocery store checkout lines, and one of Jesus' most famous teachings.

In this enlightening episode of "Speaking of Pets," Dr. Jeromin and Janet dive deep into the world of pet eye health with the esteemed Dr. Jennifer Sheahan, DVM DACVO. Join us as we tackle pressing viewer questions about recognizing eye problems in our furry friends and the surprising ways their ailments can mirror human conditions. Dr. Sheahan shares her expertise on symptoms like lethargy, tearing, and bulging eyes, explaining how they relate to conditions such as glaucoma and dry eye. Discover the breeds that are more prone to eye issues, and learn why regular veterinary check-ups are essential for early detection and treatment. The discussion also highlights the fascinating connection between eye health and systemic diseases, such as kidney disease and diabetes. Dr. Sheahan emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying causes of eye problems rather than just treating the symptoms.

Send us a textIn Matthew 7:1–6, Jesus gives one of His most quoted — and most misunderstood — commands: “Do not judge.” But what does He really mean? In this message, Pastor Kevin Syes unpacks the difference between judgment and discernment, the danger of hypocrisy, and how to approach others with humility and grace. Learn how to remove the “log” from your own eye before addressing the “speck” in someone else's, and discover the freedom that comes from living under God's standard of mercy.

For years, I put off getting LASIK eye surgery — not because it wasn't the right time, but because I'd built it up in my mind as this big, scary, overwhelming thing.Sound familiar?Whether it's investing in yourself, launching that business, or finally taking the leap into something you know will change your life — fear can keep you stuck. In this episode, I walk you through what finally pushed me to do it, what the experience actually felt like (spoiler: it was way easier than I thought it would be!), and the unexpected mindset shifts I walked away with.You'll hear how this decision became a metaphor for life and business — and why clarity (literal and figurative) is everything when it comes to moving forward.

This is the second lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. How do we perceive reality accurately amidst competing perspectives? This lesson examines worldviews and explores how everyone—whether consciously or not—interprets life through fundamental beliefs. You will learn how Scripture, illuminated by the Holy Spirit, serves as a lens bringing spiritual clarity to metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. Based on Colossians and the Reformed tradition, we compare the Christ-centered worldview with philosophical approaches grounded solely in human reasoning. This lesson enhances your understanding of worldviews, strengthens your ability to identify inconsistencies in contrary perspectives, and empowers you to articulate a gospel-centered understanding of reality with confidence. 01:30 Viewing the World through the Lens of Faith 03:04 Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Ethics 11:01 Worldviews in Contrast 21:25 The Pre-Eminence of Christ in Colossians 34:04 Seeing Clearly with Biblical Spectacles 37:12 Examples of Worldly Vision 39:48 Summary and Conclusion.

In this week's episode of The Perceptive Photographer, I take some time to reflect on the people who shape us, the dual nature of photography, and the internal compass that guides our creative work. Episode 537 feels especially personal as I honor my mentor, Seth Thompson, and revisit the big questions that keep me engaged behind the camera. Seth isn't just someone who taught me how to see color—he teaches me how to think about it, how to push beyond the surface of an image, how to chase deeper meaning. Even now, his influence runs through everything I do. Mentorship, I realize, isn't just about gaining skills—it's about learning how to see and how to be as an artist. And at some point, it becomes our turn to pay it forward. I also talk about the duality of photography—how every image straddles the line between nonfiction and fiction. Yes, we capture real moments, but we also make choices that shape those moments: framing, color, tonality, sequencing. Black and white often abstracts; color anchors. What matters is recognizing what story we're telling—and why. This episode also circles around clarity—specifically, getting clear on the core themes in your work. I share a simple exercise I use to uncover those recurring threads—words or ideas that quietly (or loudly) show up again and again in the images I make. Knowing what drives you creatively doesn't limit you—it gives you direction when you need it most. There are a few exciting things on the horizon too. The Unseen Mystery Show opens July 8 at Image City Photography Gallery in Rochester, NY, featuring work from my meaningful image workshop group. I'm currently teaching a workshop in the Palouse, and 2026 dates are now set. Plus, I'm kicking off a new In Conversation series—bonus podcast episodes with fellow photographers about process, practice, and perspective. At the end of the episode, I touch on something I'll explore more soon: the question of audience. Who do we make our work for, and how does that shape what we create? It's not a simple answer, but it's one worth wrestling with. As always, thanks for listening—and for being part of this community. I hope this episode gives you something to think about as you continue making, reflecting, and growing in your own work. —Daniel

In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind—and the ripple effect reveals much more than a miracle. This week's message explores how belief often begins with simple understanding, but always comes at a cost. As crowds doubt, leaders resist, and fear silences, one man boldly chooses to believe—and worship. What's keeping you from fully seeing Jesus for who He is?

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Roscoe shows how having a pure heart helps us see God more clearly in our everyday lives. Using Jesus' teachings from the Sermon on the Mount, he points out that real happiness and connection with God don't come from just following rules or looking good on the outside — it starts with what's going on inside our hearts. When our hearts are pure, we're able to recognize God working around us and experience a deeper sense of peace and joy.

As we go deeper on the spiritual path—whether through yoga, meditation, or self-inquiry—we often discover a paradox: We feel more peace… but we also feel more pain. The highs become transcendent. The lows, unbearable. We start to feel everything more intensely. This intensity is not a mistake. It is the heart of the path.   The Buddha says: you have felt more grief than the ocean holds water. This isn't just poetry. It's a spiritual earthquake. This is not to depress us, but to awaken us—to stir our hearts. This stirring is known in Buddhism as saṁvega.   This feeling—though unsettling—is a sacred catalyst. It's what Prince Siddhartha felt when he saw old age, sickness, and death. It's what every sincere practitioner eventually encounters: not just the suffering of the world, but the raw truth of our entanglement in it.   You begin to see the pain in pleasure—how even joy is tinged with impermanence.   You see the subtle violence of craving, the ache beneath distraction.   Your old ways of coping no longer work.   This is grace, not failure. Because only when we see duḥkha clearly, can we begin to walk a path beyond it. These are cracks in the illusion. And through those cracks, truth pours in. The practice is not to patch them up, but to stay open.   Yoga gives us a container:   Asana: to ground the body as emotion rises   Prāṇāyāma: to stabilize the nervous system as old energy releases   Meditation: to witness pain without collapsing into it   Bhakti: to open the heart in devotion rather than despair   And ultimately, viveka—discernment—so that we can feel the pain of the world without losing our place in it.   Practice LIVE with me exclusively on Omstars!

All time hero who laughs at every single one of his jokes? Check.So it's all the fun of the fair today. The topics of ‘banning pranks', ‘the greatest accents of the world' and ‘how to pad out an autobiography” float around the apple bobbing content tub, ready for the boys to sink their teeth into.And while you're here, check out the Bureau de Change of the Mind bonus episodes in the feed. Last time out there were some real surprise thrills. That's only on BBC Sounds.Have you got a UNESCO accent or know someone who does?
