We're on Part 3 of our Four Agreements series, sis — and this one might be the sneakiest of them all. So far we've learned to be impeccable with our word, and to stop taking things personally. Today's agreement ties them together: don't make assumptions. Because here's the truth — the eating disorder is a master storyteller. It makes up stories all day long, then hands them to you as if they're facts. Today, we learn to stop believing the lies. (New here? Go back and start with Parts 1 and 2 — they build.) We assume about everything The problem isn't that we make assumptions. It's that we swear they're real. As the book puts it, "we make the assumption that everyone sees life the way we do." She didn't text back — she's mad. He looked at my plate — he thinks I'm eating too much. They went quiet — they were talking about my body. We don't check. We don't ask. We decide it's true and live like it's true. And from that one habit, so much suffering is born — we blame, we react, we misunderstand, we create drama out of thin air. Almost all of our sadness is rooted in making assumptions. The eating disorder is a master storyteller The disorder doesn't deal in facts — it deals in stories. It fills every silence, every glance, every unanswered question with the same story: they noticed. they judged. you're not enough. You have no evidence for any of it. But because the story feels so real, you believe it, react to it, restrict because of it, isolate because of it. We only see what we want to see — and when your lens is a disorder, you'll find "proof" for its lies everywhere. Making assumptions leads to chaos, and the disorder loves chaos, because it keeps you too spun-out to question it. The assumptions that become rules Here's where it gets really sneaky in recovery — assumptions don't just create stories, they create rules. We assume wellness culture knows best — that the influencer, the diet, the "clean eating" plan knows what your body needs better than your body does. So we take on their rules as gospel: can't eat past this hour, have to earn it, have to burn it, never skip the workout. And we never stop to ask: Is this actually nourishing my body? Is this genuinely healthy for me? Or is it just diet culture wrapped in a pretty bow of fake news? Because we don't ask, we obey — and every unquestioned rule makes the disorder stronger. The assumption becomes the cage. My biggest assumption I lived this one, sis. My biggest assumption in my whole journey was: if I eat more, I'll never stop gaining weight. I was convinced that if I nourished myself, my body would balloon endlessly and everyone would look at me and go, "Oh my gosh, look at her." That assumption left me chained. Trapped. Terrified for a very long time — too scared to move forward, but exhausted from the cycle of restriction and over-exercising. I was suffering over something that had never happened and that I had zero evidence for. I just assumed it was true, and let it run my life. The question that cracked it open: "But do you like it now?" Here's the question I want to ask you, gently. You're assuming that if you gain weight, you won't like your body. But sis… do you like it now? The disorder promises that staying exactly like this — restricting, controlling, shrinking — is protecting some peace with your body. But are you at peace right now? Or are you already at war with your body while telling yourself you're staying this way to avoid being at war with it? You don't need to gain a pound to be miserable in your body — the disorder has you doing that today. The peace you're protecting doesn't exist. So you're not actually choosing between peace and weight gain. You're choosing between this war and the chance at real freedom. The antidote: ask The antidote to making assumptions is to ask. With people: "Hey, are we okay?" instead of assuming. With the rules: "Is this actually nourishing me, or a rule I never questioned?" With yourself: "Do I have real evidence for this — or did the disorder just hand me a story?" Asking is how you find your voice. It's how you get to the truth. And the truth is almost always so much kinder than the story the disorder tells. How this ties the agreements together This is why it's the third agreement — it weaves the first two together. When you stop making assumptions, you naturally become impeccable with your word (no more false stories), and you naturally stop taking things personally (you ask what's true instead of assuming it's all about you). The three agreements hold hands. Information isn't enough You can understand every word of this and still stay stuck. Because information isn't what changes your life — action is. Knowing the disorder makes up stories doesn't set you free. Catching the story and choosing to ask instead — that's what sets you free. That's the difference between the woman who listens to recovery podcasts forever, and the woman who actually gets free. A few lines from the episode "The problem isn't that we make assumptions. It's that we swear they're real." "The eating disorder doesn't deal in facts. It deals in stories." "Because you don't ask, you obey — and every unquestioned rule makes the disorder stronger. The assumption becomes the cage." "You're assuming that if you gain weight, you won't like your body. But do you like it now?" "Information isn't what changes your life. Action is." Your work this week Catch the story. Every time you notice yourself assuming — they're judging me, if I eat more I'll never stop, this rule is keeping me safe — pause and ask: "Is this true, or is this a story the disorder wrote?" Then do the brave thing: ask the real question. Question one rule. Seek one truth. Find your voice. Coming up: the finale This is Part 3 of the Four Agreements in Recovery — one to go. Make sure you're following so you don't miss the finale, where all four agreements come together. You don't have to untangle the lies alone If you're realizing how many stories and rules you've been living inside — and you want support separating the disorder's lies from the truth — that's exactly the work I do with women one-on-one and in the Recovery Collective.

Is it ever okay for a parent to worry about their child? In this episode of Marked by Grace, Pastor Heath Lambert tackles a question every parent faces: how to be genuinely concerned for a child without crossing into sinful anxiety — and what Scripture says about the difference.0:00 — Question: Is excessive worry permissible when it's about your kid?2:01 — Philippians 4:6: "Do not be anxious about anything"3:03 — Philippians 2:20: Timothy's "genuine concern" — the same Greek word, translated differently5:24 — Three ways to stay in concern instead of anxiety: pray6:04 — Trust the Lord7:18 — Seek to be productive

What does it actually mean to seek God first? And how do we become more like Jesus instead of simply knowing more about Him? In Part 2 of In His Image, Pastor Josh Hersey explores what Jesus meant when He said, “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness” in Matthew 6:33. Looking at Genesis 4 and the story of Cain and Abel, we see that the difference between the two brothers was deeper than the offerings they brought. It was about what had first place in their hearts. Abel gave God his first and best, while Cain approached God on his own terms. This message challenges us to examine what we are truly pursuing with our time, relationships, money, ambitions, forgiveness, sexuality, and everyday decisions. You'll also discover what it means to pursue God, why Ecclesiastes says eternity has been planted in the human heart, and why Jesus' invitation to “follow Me” is about more than learning information. A disciple follows Jesus closely enough to actually become like Him. If you've been asking How do I put God first? What does Matthew 6:33 mean? Why did God accept Abel's offering but not Cain's? How do I grow closer to Jesus? What is biblical discipleship? How do I become more like Christ? this message will help you understand that spiritual formation begins with what you seek first.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao has achieved everything — and admits she's still too afraid to truly live. Her honest search for a center that holds opens our new series, FIRST, with Lead Pastor Ted Coniaris.Jesus said, "Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33). It's one of his most familiar commands — and one of the hardest to actually live out. This week, Ted walks through the "therefore" that connects Jesus' words about worry to what we truly treasure, and asks a simple but searching question: what's on your 3am list, and what does it reveal about what's really first in your life?Ted also introduces the Growth Track, a new path launching this fall to help every person grow as a follower of Jesus.Scripture: Matthew 6:25–33; Matthew 6:19–24; Luke 12:31; Proverbs 3:5–6Subscribe to follow along with the full FIRST series.

Pastor Jordan Boyce is preaching on Discerning Right Decisions.

God's heart beats with compassion for the lost, and He passionately seeks them out. As followers of Christ, we are invited into this search. We become part of the process by sharing the message of the Gospel with those around us. What is important to God, must be important to us.Main Points:1. Jesus' very purpose in coming to earth and dying for our sins was to seek and save the lost. Nothing matters more to God. 2. Let me remind you of this truth: The Gospel message is urgent. Every day people are dying and going into eternity lost in their sins. The only way of salvation is through faith in Jesus, yet many have never heard a clear and simple message of salvation.3. We have a message far more valuable than a cure for cancer, it is a cure for our sins. Only through Jesus there is salvation and forgiveness of our sins, which not only impacts our lives here and now, but also for eternity.Today's Scripture Verses:Luke 15:8-10 — “what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.' Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”Luke 19:10 - “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

It was before Christmas, and I went shopping for toys for my kids. Now you might not think there's anything unusual about that – unless you happen to know that all my kids are grown up now. But that doesn't mean they can't have one little spark of childhood left in them, right? For example, I always buy my daughter a doll for Christmas. And we've got one son who for a long time was a big fan of a certain Sesame Street character, and he had a collection of everything Ernie. Well, there came a time when this Ernie toy was one of the hottest Christmas items on the market. I discovered the toy in September in a store before it became an officially hot item. I could have bought it, but I said, "Naw, Christmas is a long way off. I can always get it later." Wrong! When "later" came, no more Ernies to be found. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "When 'Later' Never Comes." When it's a toy you miss because you waited – no big deal. When it's God you miss, when it's eternity in heaven you miss, that's huge. Our word for today from the Word of God, 2 Corinthians 6:2. God says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." God says here there is a time of His favor; there is a day of His salvation. And that's when you need to grab Him. Then He clearly spells out the time we need to respond to Him. God's Word says, "I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation." When God talks about salvation, He's talking about rescuing us from the death sentence that we're all headed for because of our sin, which is basically the self-rule of our own life. A life that was created to be run by our Creator. This "salvation" came at a very high price for God. See, someone had to die as your substitute to pay for your sin in order for you to be rescued. The only one who was qualified to pay that awful price was God's one and only Son. That is Jesus Christ. So, believe me, it really matters to God what you do with His Son, because of what His Son gave up for you. The only response that can change a person's eternal address from hell to heaven is putting your total trust in Jesus as your only hope of belonging to God and of being with God forever. But so many of us are like I was the day I held that purchase I wanted in my hand. We decide to put it off – make it ours later. I chose to get it later, and later was too late. It was no longer available to me. That's the awful risk you take when you put off Jesus one more day. Maybe you've been around the message of Jesus a lot. Maybe most folks think you belong to Him. But deep in your heart, you know there's never been a time when you've really committed yourself to Him. It could be you've said, "I will give myself to Jesus when I'm ready." You need to hear the words of Jesus recorded in John 6:44. "No one can come to me unless the Father...draws him." You don't come to Jesus when you're ready. You come when God's ready. It's God who makes you ready to trust Jesus. If you feel that tug in your heart right now, this is the only time you can be sure God is readying you to come. There are no guarantees of one more opportunity. That's why the Bible says, "Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near" (Isaiah 55:6). He may not always be findable. He may not ever be this close again. If you've never had that "Jesus, I'm yours" moment, would you do that now and get this settled? Eternity is nothing to wait on, procrastinate on. This could be your "Jesus day." Tell Him, "Jesus, I'm yours. What you did on the cross is my only hope of rescue." Go to our website. There's a pathway there that I've tried to lay out as simply as I could so that you could be sure you belong to Him before you hit the pillow tonight. That website is ANewStory.com. Saying "later" to God's Son is eternally dangerous, because God says the day of salvation is now. It's almost yours now. But later – later may be forever too late.

Read OnlineFinal DiscoursesJesus told his disciples this parable: “The Kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them, but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps.” Matthew 25:1–4Today's Gospel comes from Jesus' final discourses with His disciples. It was the week of Passover. Jesus had already concluded His public preaching in the Temple and was now offering some final words to His closest companions. Though He was fully aware of the suffering He was about to endure, His disciples did not yet understand what was to come. Therefore, we should recognize in these final teachings the urgency of Jesus' message—an urgent appeal received by the Twelve but not yet fully grasped.The final discourses all center around the theme of vigilance, judgment, and the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus, knowing that His Passion was near, sought to prepare His disciples for the trials to come—not only the immediate trial of His crucifixion, but also the long vigil of the Church as she awaits His glorious return. In this parable of the ten virgins, Christ emphasizes the need for constant spiritual preparedness. The wise virgins symbolize those who live in a state of grace, are nourished by prayer, perform acts of charity, and remain faithful to God's will. The oil in their flasks represents both good deeds and the inner life of the soul—alive through faith and love, and sustained by the Holy Spirit.The foolish virgins represent those who give the appearance of belonging to the Bridegroom but fail to cultivate the interior life. They are unprepared for the delay, which signifies the mystery and hiddenness of God's providential will and the unpredictability of the moment of our particular and final judgment. The final discourses, therefore, call us to an active and discerning faith that does not grow lax or presume upon last-minute conversion. Christ urges His disciples to “stay awake,” not in fear, but in hopeful readiness, living each day as if the Bridegroom might arrive at any hour.Though this exhortation carries eschatological tones—pointing to our particular death and Jesus' return in glory—it also refers to the countless ways God comes to us by grace, night and day, as we journey through this life. Attentiveness to those graced moments is, in many ways, the most important form of vigilance, because it prepares us to stand confidently before God when this life is over.For that reason, hear Jesus' concluding words in today's Gospel as an exhortation to diligently await every graced moment of your day: “Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” God's grace can come to us at any time and in any circumstance. We might be shopping, doing chores, eating a meal, or working, and—if our souls are attuned to His coming—we may sense an immediate and clear spiritual prompting by which God inspires us to act or refrain. The good news is that when God communicates His will, He offers more than instruction; He also imparts the providential grace we need to respond at once. Responding to Him is more than a choice we make; it is a cooperation with His grace, by which we act more fully as members of His Body, the Church.Reflect today on the oil in your own flask. Are you spiritually prepared not only for the coming of the Bridegroom at the end of your life or the end of time, but also for the daily, hidden comings of His grace? Seek to live each moment in a state of spiritual readiness, with your heart alert and open. When the Bridegroom comes—whether at the end of days or in the everyday quiet whispers of grace—blessed will you be to rise, lamp in hand, and enter the wedding feast with Him. Responding in this life gives us an immediate foretaste of the joy and peace we will experience in the Eternal Wedding Feast of the Lamb in Heaven.My Lord and Eternal Bridegroom, You invite me, day and night, to enter the wedding feast of grace with You. Help me, I pray, to remain vigilant, to stay awake, and to always discern Your voice when You call. May I be ever ready, with the oil of charity and grace fueling the light of Your joy and peace—now and forever.

In this episode, Alan Condon, Editor-in-Chief at Becker's Healthcare, discusses the surge in healthcare mergers, acquisitions, strategic affiliations and joint ventures as health systems respond to financial pressures and upcoming reimbursement changes. He highlights major deals across the country and examines why scale, partnerships and economies of scale are becoming increasingly important for hospitals and health systems.

Tyler Robinson's defense attorneys asked Judge Tony Graf Jr. to ban cameras and livestreaming from the September 1 hearing, arguing that continued electronic coverage risked turning the proceedings into a spectacle rather than a serious criminal case. The defense said widespread broadcasting could prejudice potential jurors by exposing them to arguments and evidence that might never be admissible at trial, particularly hearsay presented during the preliminary-hearing process. They also argued that the presence of cameras could influence how lawyers, witnesses and other participants behave in court and pointed to alleged harassment experienced by witnesses after earlier proceedings were broadcast. Robinson's attorneys framed the request as a fairness issue, insisting that the case should not become a “reality TV show” and that preserving his right to an impartial jury should outweigh the media's interest in televising every stage of the prosecution.The September 1 hearing was set to be an important step in determining whether Robinson would be ordered to stand trial for the killing of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University in September 2025. Judge Graf was expected to hear arguments about the evidence introduced during the July preliminary hearing and decide whether prosecutors had established probable cause to move the case forward. Robinson's lawyers were also challenging the prosecution's use of hearsay and disputing the aggravating factor that could make the case eligible for the death penalty, specifically the allegation that Robinson endangered numerous people by firing into a crowded area. Prosecutors countered that Robinson had demonstrated poor shooting accuracy in practice and therefore created a substantial risk to bystanders, while the defense emphasized that only one shot was fired and that it struck Kirk alone. Robinson had not yet entered a plea, making the upcoming hearing another major battleground over both the evidence against him and how much of the case the public should be allowed to watch in real time.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson's lawyers seek camera ban | Fox News

Abby Rose is an experienced agricultural storyteller, co-host of the award-winning podcast Farmerama Radio, and co-founder of the soil monitoring and data platform VidaCycle. With a background spanning technology and hands-on farming on her family's farm in Chile, Abby has spent nearly a decade amplifying the voices of the regenerative farming movement and creating tools to help farmers build healthier soils.This July, Abby is back on the podcast to share an update on Cereal, her six-part series podast uncovering the polarised world of cereals, from seed to loaf, and Cereal Revisited, which returned to the series years later to ask what happened after people listened. What did those stories change? And what does that tell us about the power of storytelling to change the regenerative agriculture system?When two podcasters walk into the ‘recording studio' for a conversation, the central question is bigger than podcasting: is good storytelling one of the most neglected and underfunded pieces of the regenerative agriculture and food transition? If people are going to change careers, start farms, build food companies, become millers or join the agroecological movement, they first need to see and feel that another way of working is possible. Cereal offers a striking case study: farmers started operating their own mills, listeners went on pilgrimages to meet people featured in the series, and at least one listener moved from engineering into milling.Koen van Seijen and Abby Rose — two regenerative agriculture podcasters — turn the microphone back on themselves. They talk about what six relatively simple episodes did years after release, why systemic storytelling is difficult to fund, and why the hero's journey may be the wrong model for food systems.More about this episode.Thoughts?

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a pattern that runs through first responder culture with devastating consistency — the resistance to seeking a formal diagnosis even when the symptoms have been present for years, even when the people closest to them can see it clearly, and even when the cost of remaining undiagnosed is already showing up in their health, their marriage, and their career. This is not about intelligence. It is not about stubbornness for its own sake. It is about a culture that has spent decades teaching its people that being diagnosed with anything means something about their fitness, their identity, and their future — and the very real consequences of believing that long past the point where it is doing any good.

Although dissent has long been a part of our country, in today's “argument culture” we approach people who hold different views as combatants. Have things gotten worse in the culture? Have things gotten worse in the Church? On today's episode, Tim and Rick speak with Dr. Crawford Loritts about a biblical posture Christians ought to reclaim for handling disagreement faithfully and well. They reflect on the Civil Rights Movement, discuss contemporary issues around “being woke,” and they draw from the Apostle Peter on what to do when someone disagrees with mean intentions.Show notes and a full transcript are available.

On November 30th, 2018, Brittany Wallace Shank said she was almost to her grandma's. She never made it. She was 23. A mother of four. Sturgis, Michigan.For years, her case sat still. Then, in 2023, people started sitting down in the other chairs.A lot of you have asked what happened after we brought what we found to law enforcement. Here's the answer: we gave them everything we saved. All of it. In Part 1, you heard what they did with it — Ashley's interview, and the questions that never got asked.Part 2 is the rest of the chairs. The husband — Eric, across the table from Detective Auton, answering the questions this case has been circling since day one. The drug dealer — the man who says he met Brittany exactly once, and the message thread that says more than he does. The boyfriend. And the third man in the apartment. Plus a phone call I recorded in 2022, a year before detectives caught up — so you can hear one man's story twice, a year apart, and decide for yourself what changed.You'll hear Brittany's own voice in this episode. You'll hear the minute her day stops. And you'll hear me say the thing that should make everyone in St. Joseph County uncomfortable:Eight polygraphs, by the county's own count. Seven years.

Matt Murphy's sermon on Matthew 7:7–12 reminds us that prayer is not primarily about trying harder, but about knowing that we have a generous, loving Father who invites us to come to Him with our needs, desires, fears, and hopes. God may not give us everything we ask for, but He promises to give us what is good, and His generosity invites us to live with dependence, trust, and confidence in His goodness even when He seems silent. Because we have received such abundant generosity from our Father, especially through the gift of Jesus, we are called to extend that same generosity to others.

“I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye Me in vain.” — Isaiah 45:19 We may gain much solace by considering what God has not said. What He has said is inexpressibly full of comfort and delight; what He has not said is scarcely less rich in consolation. It was one of these […]

“What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me?” (Psalm 116:12 NLT) A farmer who was known for his frugality owned a cow that gave birth to two calves. He said to his wife, “I’m going to dedicate one of these calves to the Lord.” Knowing his miserly ways, she was very surprised and asked which one he was planning to give to the Lord. “I haven’t decided yet, but I’ll let you know,” he said. A few days went by, and again she asked which calf he was giving to the Lord. “I’m still thinking about it,” he told her. Then one day, one of the calves got sick. It grew worse and worse until one night the farmer walked up onto the porch with the calf draped over his arms. He said to his wife, “Honey, I have bad news. The Lord’s calf just died.” Similarly, many of us tend to give God that which we don’t really want ourselves. Think about a typical day. What place do we give to the things of God? Maybe we utter a quick prayer as we roll out of bed or offer some hurried words of thanks over breakfast. Then we rush off to our responsibilities. At the end of the day, we say, “Oh, right. I’ll give God these last four minutes as I’m dozing off.” If God is important, then why do we give Him our leftovers? God certainly doesn’t want our leftovers. He makes that quite clear in Scripture. God said to Israel, “Cursed is the cheat who promises to give a fine ram from his flock but then sacrifices a defective one to the Lord. For I am a great king . . . and my name is feared among the nations!” (Malachi 1:14 NLT). In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need” (Matthew 6:33 NLT). One of the most important steps of spiritual growth is making sure that our priorities are in order. In the busyness of daily life, it’s easy to convince ourselves that pressing work responsibilities or family commitments should take precedence over our time with the Lord. But that kind of focus makes us lose sight of the interconnectedness of our responsibilities. God rewards time spent with Him. When we give Him the choicest part of our day, He blesses the remainder. When we quiet ourselves before Him, pour out our praise, thanksgiving, and requests in prayer, and spend quality time in His Word, we are better prepared to face the challenges and responsibilities of the day. The psalmist asked, “What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me?” (Psalm 116:12 NLT). If we let that question guide our thoughts, actions, and priorities, we will discover what it means to serve God—and to be abundantly blessed by Him in return. God gave us His best. Let’s give Him ours. Reflection question: How can you ensure that God gets the best from you?

You Got Advice—So Why Was It Still a Bad Decision? Can you seek advice and still make a terrible decision? Absolutely. In 1 Kings 12, two new kings—Rehoboam and Jeroboam—face some of the biggest decisions of their lives. Both seek advice. Both listen to advisors. And both make disastrous choices that affect generations. The problem wasn't simply whether they asked for advice. The deeper question was: What were they looking for when they asked? Wisdom—or approval? God's direction—or validation for something they had already decided? In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob explores the stories of Rehoboam and Jeroboam and shares five practical principles for making better decisions at the major crossroads of life. Rehoboam received wise counsel from experienced leaders who encouraged him to serve the people. But when he didn't like their answer, he found younger advisors who told him what he wanted to hear. One pride-driven decision helped split the kingdom of Israel. Jeroboam made a different mistake. God had already promised to establish his kingdom if he remained faithful. But fear took over. Instead of asking whether his plan honored God, he sought advice about how to execute a decision he had already made—leading to the golden calves at Bethel and Dan and generations of idolatry. One of the most important lessons is simple: Something can work and still be wrong. Effectiveness is not the same thing as faithfulness. In this episode, you'll learn: Why asking for advice is only the beginning How Rehoboam confused advice with approval Why the advice you don't want to hear may be the advice you need How Jeroboam used good strategy to accomplish the wrong goal Why fear can disguise itself as wisdom How greed can sound like "good stewardship" Why your heart cannot always be trusted How a small number of major decisions determine much of your life Why you should seek several perspectives on important decisions How to choose advisors whose lives you actually respect Why, when both choices are good, choosing growth can be a helpful principle How Rob and Pam chose church planting in Tucson over financial opportunity in Oregon Why it's never too late to admit you were wrong and change direction Rob closes with five principles for better decisions: Seek advice. Ask more than one person. Ask people whose lives you respect and would want to imitate. When both choices are good, consider choosing the path that produces greater spiritual growth. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to change your mind. Before your next major decision, ask yourself: Am I really looking for wisdom—or am I looking for permission? Sometimes the advice you least want to hear is exactly the advice you need. Learn more about Rob's books and the podcast at RobSkinner.com. You can also support the program here.

Read OnlineThe One Law of CharityWhen the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law, tested him by asking, “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” Matthew 22:34–36Today's Gospel takes place during the final week of Jesus' public ministry, shortly after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, when the crowds acclaimed Him as the Messiah, the Son of David. As the week progressed, Jesus faced an onslaught of confrontations from various religious authorities: the chief priests and elders, the Pharisees and Herodians, the Sadducees, and, in today's passage, a scholar of the law. Notably, these groups were often at odds with one another and were deeply divided over Scripture and doctrine, especially the Pharisees and Sadducees. Yet, despite their theological disputes, they found common ground in opposing Jesus, uniting in their efforts to discredit Him and undermine His authority.The scholar of the law who posed the question to Jesus in today's Gospel was likely a scribe—an expert in the Mosaic Law and its interpretation within the Jewish tradition. Scribes were regarded as authoritative teachers and interpreters of the Law and were frequently consulted on religious and legal matters. Though their role included drawing up legal documents, their primary religious function was to study, teach, and apply the Law of Moses. This particular scribe approached Jesus not to learn, but to test Him—to expose Him as lacking theological credibility. Perhaps he was driven by his pride, seeing himself as far more learned in the Law than Jesus. However, as with the other attempts to trap Him during this final week, Jesus responds not only with divine wisdom but with a clarity and authority that silences His challengers and reveals the heart of the Law.Jesus meets the question—“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”—with a twofold answer: “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart…” and “The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Though Jesus was only asked which commandment was the greatest, it appears that He revealed two commandments rather than one. But did He?Theologically speaking, Jesus not only answered the question thoroughly, He showed that love of God, love of self, and love of neighbor are so interconnected that they cannot be separated into greater or lesser categories. If you love God, this is also an act of rightly ordered self-love, which naturally leads to love of others. Hence, this apparent twofold answer presents the unity of charity, upon which “the whole law and the prophets depend.”Today we use the word love in many and varied ways. Some forms of love are rooted in emotion or passion; others arise from natural bonds of friendship or family, shaped by duty and affection. But the love to which Jesus refers transcends human categories. It is a divine love—agape, or charity—that not only surpasses natural forms of love but also elevates and transforms them. When human love is united with divine charity, it is purified, deepened, and rightly ordered toward God. From there, it flows back to us and through us to others. In this way, our love for friends, family, and even enemies becomes a participation in God's perfect and self-giving love. Thus, loving God with charity gives rise to charity in every relationship, drawing those relationships into the life of grace. This entire united act of charitable living—God as the origin and source, and others as the necessary outflow of that divine charity—perfectly fulfills the Law and reveals the holiness to which we are called.Reflect today on the quality and source of your love. Is your love for others rooted in your love of God? Does your love flow from time spent in prayer, from a heart purified by grace, and from a desire to glorify God above all? Seek to love not merely with emotion or obligation, but with divine charity. When you do, your relationships will not only be transformed, they will become instruments through which God touches the world.My Lord and Source of all charity, draw me into a deep and purifying love for You—a charity that encompasses my whole heart, soul, and mind. From that divine love, pour forth Your charity on others through me, so that all that I am and everything I do may be a fulfillment of the one glorious commandment to which I am called.

Mary Kissel discusses the strained US-South Korea alliance, where disagreements over military funding have prompted Seoul to seek independent nuclear-powered submarine capabilities. She characterizes North Korea as a reckless actor that has committed tens of thousands of combat troops and ballistic missiles to aid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Kissel critiques the "transactional nature" of current diplomacy, noting that contradictory signals toward Kim Jong-unundermine national security strategies. Regarding Oman, she defends the nation as a moderate partner vital for counterterrorism and the release of detained Americans, viewing Trump's threats to bomb the country as an expression of frustration over Iran. Kissel also highlights political successes in South America, where center-right victories in Colombia and Chile represent a return to capitalist principles and closer ties with the US. She concludes by noting that environmental factors like El Niño will soon challenge regional stability in Brazil. (4)

Read OnlineThe Riches of PovertyJesus said to his disciples: “Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?” Matthew 19:23–25In light of today's Gospel, do you want to be rich? Most people do. The thought of buying a big, beautiful home (or several of them) can be enticing. Living the so-called good life, going on extravagant vacations and driving expensive cars, is a difficult desire to shed. Should you strive to shed that desire?Today's Gospel immediately follows Jesus' loving conversation with a rich young man who came to Him with the question: “Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?” Jesus could see the goodness in the man's heart, so He wisely drew the young man deeper. In response to Jesus telling him to keep the commandments, the young man confirmed that he had kept them since his youth. He then asked: “What do I still lack?” Jesus lovingly revealed to him the road to perfection: “Go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” That was not what this rich young man wanted to hear, so he went away sad. The perfection to which Jesus invited this young man was more than he was ready to accept.Back to our original question: Do you want to be rich? In today's Gospel, within the context of the young man leaving, Jesus turns to those closest to Him and teaches them a lesson about the danger of material riches. This was so shocking to the disciples that they seemed disillusioned and asked, “Who then can be saved?”We should see ourselves in both the rich young man and the disciples who reacted with shock. Jesus wanted each of them to be richer than they could ever fathom—but not in the fleeting material things of this world. Though material wealth is not evil, as it is necessary for us to care for our needs and those of our families, money and possessions cannot in any way fulfill us. We might enjoy money and possessions because they temporarily satisfy our desires and offer sensory comforts, but the only lasting comfort and source of fulfillment is found in God and His holy will.When pondering the question—“Do I want to be rich?”—we should not hesitate to say, emphatically, “No!” Why would we want something Jesus so strongly warned against? Of course, while Jesus didn't say it is “impossible” for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, He did say that it is “hard.” Having riches, then, can be compared to playing with fire. There is a good chance of getting burned. So it is with money. Based on Jesus' direct teaching and the sadness of the rich young man, we should all step back and look at our attitudes toward money and possessions. The ideal interior disposition should be one of a desire for simplicity, and even poverty. Not a poverty of destitution, but one that is characterized by accumulating very little, living a simple and humble life, yet enjoying the necessities for self and family. Is this the lifestyle you desire? Do you understand the wisdom behind such a life and the dangers of a life of material wealth?Reflect today on your desires and attitudes toward material wealth and comfort. Ask yourself honestly whether you see riches as a path to happiness, or whether you are truly open to the freedom that comes with spiritual poverty. Consider the radical invitation Jesus offered the rich young man—not as a burden, but as a gift. Ponder what you may still cling to, and be courageous enough to let it go. Seek to cultivate a heart that finds joy in simplicity, generosity, and trust in God alone. In doing so, you will discover the incomparable riches of a life lived for the Kingdom of Heaven.Lord of true riches, In You alone do we find the eternal treasure that far surpasses the fleeting riches of this world. Grant me the wisdom and strength to recognize the dangers that come with money and possessions and to freely choose a life of simplicity and detachment. May You and Your holy will be the only treasure I seek, so that I may be drawn into the perfection to which I'm called. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Jesus teachesSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Migraines in midlife can feel unpredictable—but they may not be as random as they first appear. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, disrupted sleep, skipped meals, dehydration, food sensitivities, and weather changes can overlap until the body crosses its individual migraine threshold. In this deeply personal episode of Tea & Truth, Lynne shares what it was like to live with almost-daily, debilitating migraines. Her attacks frequently forced her to leave work, pull over while driving to be sick, and visit her doctor for injections when her usual medication couldn't control the pain. Her turning point came when she attended a headache clinic while studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Together, those experiences helped her combine appropriate migraine care with a more holistic understanding of her triggers, eating habits, stress, hydration, sleep, and overall lifestyle. Today, Lynne's migraines are far less frequent and are usually associated with weather and barometric-pressure changes. In This Episode You'll learn: Why migraine is much more than a bad headache How estrogen fluctuations may affect migraines in perimenopause Why migraines may change before and after menopause The difference between an underlying migraine condition and an individual trigger How food, skipped meals, blood-sugar swings, and dehydration may contribute Why cravings can sometimes be an early migraine symptom How stress and disrupted sleep may lower your migraine threshold Why storms and barometric-pressure changes can trigger attacks How to track patterns without becoming fearful or overly restrictive Practical ways to reduce your overall trigger load When a new, severe, or changing headache needs prompt medical attention You may not be able to control every trigger—especially the weather—but understanding your personal patterns may help you feel more prepared, informed, and empowered.   Explore Lynne's Migraine Book Lynne is also the author of Conquering Migraines: Your Guide to a Life Without Pain, an educational resource inspired by her own journey with debilitating migraines. The book explores possible migraine triggers and practical food and lifestyle strategies that may help readers become more informed participants in their care.

If you're feeling stressed, exhausted, and disconnected, it might not be because life is too busy—it might be because your priorities are out of order. In this solo episode, I share a deeply personal lesson God has been teaching me over the past year: there is a biblical order to where our time, energy, attention, and devotion belong. After a season where work and ministry had climbed to the top of my priorities, God gave me a vision showing just how disordered my life had become. Then the board changed, revealing a simple order that would begin reshaping everything: God. Spouse. Children. Community. Ministry. I walk through each of these five areas and share what I'm learning about putting them back in their proper place, not through perfection or another checklist, but through surrender and obedience.
