Most of us carry hidden weights that block the abundant life Jesus promises. What if the secret to true freedom is simply making a powerful decision—one that begins with forgiveness? If you're tired of the emotional and spiritual heaviness that unforgiveness brings, this episode will show you how to break free and restore your joy. Right here, you'll discover the profound truth that forgiveness isn't about condoning the hurtful actions—it’s about choosing peace for yourself. Teresa Jordan reveals how forgiving others, even when it's difficult, can release you from the trap of resentment, much like escaping a baited trap in the Greek.

You'll learn practical steps to invite Jesus into your pain, ask for His help, and take the decisive action to forgive, regardless of your feelings.

Teresa shares how letting go isn’t just emotional—it’s spiritual warfare that clears the way for God's abundant blessings to flow into your life. Discover how forgiving yourself is equally vital and how this act can set a new course toward peace, joy, and freedom. If you're ready to let go of the poison of unforgiveness and embrace a life overflowing with joy, peace, and healing, this episode is your guide. Make the choice.

Rugby Club Luxembourg hosts Oxbridge this weekend in Stade Josy Barthel. This weekend on The Lisa Burke Show, rugby takes centre stage as Rugby Club Luxembourg (RCL) prepares to welcome a combined Oxford-Cambridge “Oxbridge” team to Stade Josy Barthel for what is believed to be their first ever visit to the Grand Duchy. Seniors player and schools rugby coordinator Matthew Dennis Soto explains that the fixture offers a perfect mid‑season test for RCL, while also reconnecting him with university teammates from his PGCE days at Oxford, in a match he jokes might even mark a “secret retirement” at 80 minutes. The game also plugs Luxembourg directly into one of the sport's oldest traditions: the varsity rugby culture that has produced generations of international players since the first iconic Oxbridge match in 1872. On the show, Matthew tells us how the Oxford and Cambridge system has historically functioned as an informal England trial, with selectors once taking 15 to 20 players from a single varsity match into national squads. Today, professional academies have taken over much of that role, but the commitment remains close to professional standards: double daily training sessions, gym and pitch work, video analysis and eight hours of study woven through the day. That intensity, he argues, leaves graduates ready for both professional rugby and demanding careers beyond sport, thanks to a culture where “buy‑in” is non‑negotiable and no one can simply skip training because they are tired. RCL's aim is to build that ethos, with more Luxembourgish now spoken at training than English or French, and a growing number of locally raised players feeding into the national team. Rugby Club Luxembourg: 500 members, 54 nationalities, one “tribe” Vice President Tony Whiteman sketches the remarkable growth of RCL, founded in 1973 and now boasting around 500 active members encompassing players, referees and coaches, making it one of Luxembourg's largest sporting organisations. The club currently represents 54 nationalities and competes in Germany's First Division, a notable achievement for a country of Luxembourg's size and a testament to decades of volunteer‑driven development. Tony's own story mirrors that journey: arriving from New Zealand “for 18 months” to play rugby, finding community in the legendary Irish pub The Black Stuff, and staying to build a life, a family and a career, helped along by a network of club members who even opened professional doors in finance. And he has done the same for so many more. Belonging, discipline and life skills on and off the pitch A recurring theme of the discussion is rugby's unique capacity to create belonging across ages, body types and backgrounds. Nathan Sneyd, now a familiar voice from “Let's Talk Sport” and a long‑standing squash coach in Luxembourg, describes rugby as a “jigsaw of athletes”, where fast and slow, tall and short, heavy and light all fit together in different positions toward a shared objective. That sense of purpose and identity, symbolised by a simple shirt colour, translates into powerful benefits for mental health and social integration, especially for newcomers who might otherwise dismiss Luxembourg as “quiet” if they never join a club or community. Tony highlights rugby's thread of decency: respect for referees, listening to coaches, learning discipline from adults outside the family, as a life school that employers value, noting that his own first job in Luxembourg came precisely because a manager trusted the work ethic of sportspeople. Women's rugby and infrastructure: the next frontier Looking ahead, the guests agree that women's rugby represents one of the biggest growth opportunities, both globally and at RCL. The club has established a women's section with regular training, and women's rugby is cited as one of the fastest‑growing areas of the sport, yet limited pitch space in Luxembourg City is now a hard constraint on how far that momentum can go. As Director of Rugby Antoine Alric (who could not join the recording) works across elite competition, 350‑plus youth players and an expanding women's programme, the club is lobbying for at least half a pitch more in the short term and, eventually, a second ground to match demand. For listeners inspired to get involved, Nathan underlines how approachable Luxembourg's sporting community is: from elite racer Dylan Pereira inviting Instagram messages from aspiring drivers to RCL's own open‑door culture, often the first step is as simple as showing up or sending a message, and letting the game, and the community around it, do the rest. https://rcl.lu/

Hometown Radio 02/17/26 4p: There's new concern over seniors living alone

Can a marriage survive infidelity?This week I spoke with Renelle Nelson, a licensed marriage and family therapist who's spent 11 years specialising in affair recovery. She helps couples rebuild after betrayal, when everything's shattered and nobody knows where to start.Turns out infidelity isn't just sex outside the marriage. It's anytime you go outside your relationship to get pleasure that should be shared within it. Money. Communication. Emotional affairs. Physical ones. Renelle prefers the word “betrayal” because it's more accurate. You break contracts you didn't realise you'd signed.Here's the thing nobody talks about: it's not a male sport anymore. In her practice, men and women cheat in equal numbers. Women are leaving marriages after raising kids, after becoming empty nesters. The emotional labour falls heavily on them. Sometimes an affair is escape from domesticity. Not dissatisfaction. Escape.So what does affair recovery actually look like?Different from regular marriage counselling, for starters. More talking won't prevent betrayal. More sex won't prevent it. More date nights won't prevent it. The only things that stop betrayal are communication and not wanting to do it. That's it.Renelle's approach: you can't heal what you can't reveal. She works with the person who cheated first. Who did they become? What need were they trying to meet? Then she works with the person who stayed. Both deserve healing. Neither caused the affair, but both are responsible for their part in the marriage moving forward.I asked whether opening a relationship after betrayal ever works.Her answer was direct: it doesn't. Couples who open relationships successfully do so from trust and solid foundation. Starting that journey on a lie, with one partner settling because they can't keep the other person faithful, almost always fails. If you can't communicate basic needs with one person, adding more people just multiplies the chaos.My favourite bit? Renelle's seeing younger couples come to therapy after dating a month, maybe two. They want to learn how to communicate before problems arrive. They're treating therapy as education, not crisis management. They want enhancement, exploration, education, eroticism. That last one matters most.Eroticism is what's missing in long-term relationships, she said. When it leaves, people turn to porn. When you think you know everything about your partner, desire dries up.Literally.As Renelle put it: “When you think you know it all, that means you dried up. You're not getting hard or wet.”Fair point.What Matters* Women cheat just as much as men now. The numbers are equal.* Affair recovery heals individuals first, then the relationship.* You can't heal what you refuse to reveal. Truth comes before repair.* Opening relationships after betrayal rarely works. Trust must exist first.* Eroticism sustains long-term desire. Mystery matters more than familiarity.* Younger couples seek therapy as prevention. That's actual progress.Check out these resources from Renelle:The Pleasure Agenda: Couples Edition Undated PlannerPleasure After Betrayal: Aftercare Edition Undated PlannerThe Couple's Connection DeckConnect with RenelleWebsite https://renellenelson.thinkific.com/InstagramFacebookUnlock even more pleasure, clarity, and confidence in your intimate life by becoming a paid subscriber.You'll gain full access to every weekly blog, the complete archive of 150+ expert-led podcasts, the private chat room for candid Q&A, and my 32‑page guide Sex Toys and Supplements for Thriving in Later Life.If you're ready to deepen your knowledge, explore new possibilities, and feel fully supported on your journey, upgrade today only £6.99/month or £49.99/year.Sex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported publication.

On today’s “Closer Look,” we share tributes to the late Rev. Jesse Jackson, and a prior interview host Rose Scott did with the civil rights champion from WABE’s ATL68 series. Jackson also dedicated his life to founding the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, working as a global humanitarian, running for president twice, and as part of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s inner circle. Jackson, known for his famous words, “Keep hope alive!” died Tuesday. He was 84. Scott also talks with Gerald Griggs, a civil rights attorney and past president of the Georgia NAACP, who shares his memories about Jackson. Also, Atlanta’s Zoning Review Board recently overruled a vote by a Kirkwood area neighborhood planning unit. The NPU had voted against a proposal for a 47-unit apartment building for unhoused seniors, which would include mental health services. However, the Board chose to move forward with the project, which would be located in a currently vacant lot located at 88 Howard St. NE. The property is owned by Turner Monumental AME Church, who is pursuing the development. Sean Keenan has followed the project for Atlanta Civic Circle and shares the latest with “Closer Look.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What started in 1973 as a lifeline for cash-poor retirees has morphed into one of BC's most lopsided housing policies, one that disproportionately benefits the people who need it least. Insurance professional and self-described policy obsessive Phil Webb sits down with Adam & Matt to expose BC's property tax deferral program, a seniors benefit with no income or wealth limits that has become an investment vehicle for some of Vancouver's wealthiest homeowners. Far from helping the house-poor, enrolled homes in Vancouver average $3.4 million in assessed value & in West Vancouver one in seven properties takes advantage of the program. How did a program designed to protect vulnerable seniors end up subsidizing hedge fund managers and mansion owners? Why does BC run the most generous version of this program in the entire country? And is there a simple fix that politicians are too afraid to touch? Don't miss this one.

When was the last time you checked your penny jar? If it's looking a little emptier than usual, that might be because we're in the middle of a penny shortage! The U.S. Mint has ceased production of the penny because the cost of making one ($0.0369) is now almost four times what it's worth as legal tender. While this is yet another step towards a more digital, cashless economy, you might want to take a look at that jar before you bring it down to the bank. Having fewer pennies in circulation could drive up the value of some rare pennies, like the $2.4 million 1943-D Lincoln Wheat Cent! With more and more of our financial lives moving online, it's becoming more and more important to stay vigilant against potential scams and stay current on the rules. As we discuss on today's show, one wrong click could share valuable information with a crook or trigger some unintended tax consequences – especially if you're managing your money solo.

What is elder fraud and why is it increasing right now? Elder fraud is financial exploitation that targets seniors, often through impersonation, emotional manipulation, or false emergencies.  There's an $80 trillion wealth transfer underway - and scammers know it. In this episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons exposes how criminals are increasingly targeting seniors and families using sophisticated elder fraud schemes, including fake "grandchild in trouble" calls and AI-generated voice cloning. Drawing from a Department of Justice investigation, Darryl breaks down how international call centers impersonate loved ones, manipulate emotions, and move stolen cash through unsuspecting rideshare drivers. He also explains how scammers now need as little as three seconds of audio from social media to replicate a family member's voice using AI. You'll learn: How grandparent scams work from start to finish. Why seniors are being targeted during the historic wealth transfer. How AI voice cloning makes scams harder to detect. Real warning signs to listen for during urgent phone calls. Practical steps families can take to protect aging parents and grandparents. This episode isn't just about financial loss - it's about the emotional damage these scams cause to families, parents, and seniors. If you or someone you love may have been exposed to fraud, contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Benefiting from the show?

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at what every new student should know before stepping onto campus for the first time. Ford reflects on how it's perfectly normal to feel nervous or unsure on that first day — especially for first-generation students or adults returning to school. He reminds listeners that there are no bad questions and encourages everyone to reach out, ask for help, and take advantage of the many resources available at Northeast. Ford also shares valuable advice for managing the pace of college life, emphasizing that education isn't a race. Instead, students should take time to adjust, choose a manageable course load, and focus on progress rather than perfection. By slowing down, connecting with faculty and staff, and using available support services, students can build a strong foundation for long-term success at Northeast and beyond. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: I'm a new listener to the podcast and work as the sole developer for a sports team, which is the only company I've worked for since graduating from university 8 years ago. I listened to episode 493 while clenching my teeth as you told a listener to absolutely not take the job with the European football club as a solo developer. Yikes! While I feel I have continued to grow my skillset in my role, I'm now feeling vulnerable about having no professional experience working alongside other developers or on large-scale applications. I feel very conflicted about leaving my current company. I have a respectable developer salary for the (non-American) low cost of living area I'm in, have a great manager, and have built up a ton of good will and trust within the organization. I get all the freedom I could ask for to make design decisions, implement devops practices, try out new technologies, and make mistakes. I also find the work interesting and there's always something else to do! I'm a little scared of the horror stories that I hear about the real dev world and don't want to take my current situation for granted. I would really appreciate guidance on what you think I should do. I have clear skill deficits in certain areas, but would have to give up a lot of liberties with a role change. Listener Brian asks, My job is mostly okay, but could be better because of the people in it. I joined a greenfield project a few years ago as my first software engineer role after transitioning from other data work. I grew up with the project and improved my engineering skills. A year ago we hired two new people. They had relevant experience and seemed to know what they were talking about in the interview, and had five & ten years of experience (aka, more than me). Onboarding the first few months was whatever, BUT they've never really improved afterwards. They turn in work that has clearly not been tested or does not meet the ticket's requirements, barely review PRs and have never (!) left any comments/feedback, and despite their level (senior+). I don't really trust them to work on anything more than the smallest, simplest stories. I've provided specific feedback in PRs and in performance reviews (sometimes very low-level and specific, and sometimes very high-level about guiding questions or principles), but nothing's changed. I've felt frustrated, drained, and confused - why is it such a struggle to get someone with an entire decade of development experience to turn in a straightforward PR? One other teammate has admitted (privately) that some work was sloppily done, which is consoling but otherwise I'm not sure if it's bothering others as much as it does me. They're offshore so maybe it's just a communication thing? The rest of the team has been on the project since the beginning so maybe we're poorly set up for new devs. I have high standards for myself and others and I've always been the most junior developer on the team and am new to the senior role. Am I just being a perfectionistic jerk? Is that a bad match for (essentially) junior teammates? Should I just reset my expectations and accept that their level and years of experience don't translate into high performance? Thanks for any insights.

Feb. 6, 2026- We explore what Gov. Kathy Hochul's budget does to support seniors in New York. Our guest is Adam Herbst, a former top health official with the state and now a partner with Sheppard Mullin.

professorjrod@gmail.comA quiet truth sits behind almost every scam: people aren't fooled because they're careless, they're pressured because they're human. Professor J Rod shares the reveal of his new book, Scam Proof for Seniors, and maps a practical path from classroom insights to real-world protection in libraries, living rooms, and inboxes. Instead of jargon or fear, we focus on the psychology that cons rely on—authority, urgency, isolation—and the one habit that collapses most attacks: a deliberate pause.We trace the evolution of deception from street-corner confidence tricks to telephone scams, mass email phishing, social media impersonation, and AI-cloned voices. Along the way, you'll learn why sloppy messages are a filter, how personalization breeds trust, and why shame keeps victims silent. Most importantly, we unpack a simple emotional funnel—attention, authority, urgency, isolation, compliance, shame—that shows up in everything from fake bank alerts to “your child is in trouble” calls. Once you see the pattern, you can't unsee it.This conversation delivers scripts you can use today—“I'll call you back through the official number,” “I'm not comfortable continuing”—and a mindset that protects seniors, students, parents, and professionals alike. No legitimate organization requires urgency without verification. Banks can wait. Governments can wait. Family emergencies can be checked. Confidence, not fear, is the long-term defense. We're turning each chapter into a monthly episode with stories, examples, and community Q&A so you can spot pressure early and protect the people you love.If this helps, share it with a parent, leave a quick review, and subscribe so you don't miss the next chapter. Your pause is power—use it, and tell us the last “too urgent” message you refused.If you want to buy the book you can at the link below. https://www.amazon.com/Scam-Proof-Seniors-Recognize-Avoid-Modern-ebook/dp/B0GFP4P6RV/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3IWNFIM7WZ442&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ZVeuHtAus4Vv3JYSwiMAiwyaqsGqARzopeU0kjSqvnuEOZPgEZgigUr_1gWbj1IKSYllAtJaVnCG_lktZFyna8HlaaDE0CUv5msK3gCPBRuas0oIFAcPhmJ-ZivWP2DoecvWqSUJNu90Ky9jKPxc5Rx5-swFIqQ8BgxnQ4XEFeSfeva4FoaBehMl0V4--yO15PLhnPhzgcyL-YxddFMwpbnJgmQxsVjJP-UHB7y9Uus.l9glTu9776kOMwANZXBhsEjapLydGWce5ZSw0tfs2HA&dib_tag=se&keywords=scam+proof&qid=1770645882&sprefix=scam+proof%2Caps%2C105&sr=8-2Support the showArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

#687: Your tax refund might be $300 to $1,000 bigger this year, and that's just the beginning of what's changing with your money. The Tax Foundation estimates most Americans will see significantly larger refunds thanks to seven major tax cuts. The child tax credit increased by $200. The standard deduction jumped by $750 for individuals or $1,500 for couples. The state and local tax deduction cap now sits at $40,000. Seniors get an extra $6,000 deduction, and deductions for auto loan interest, tips, and overtime work all increased. Retirement accounts saw major changes too. Catch-up contributions for high earners now must go into Roth accounts, which pushed thousands of employers to add Roth options to their 401k plans between 2024 and 2026. Kevin Warsh, the new Fed chair nominee, thinks the Federal Reserve has been doing it all wrong. The former Fed governor and Wall Street banker believes the Fed focuses too much on backward-looking data and reacts too slowly. He wants strategic, forward-thinking policy instead of chasing lagging indicators. President Trump clarified he never asked Warsh to lower interest rates and wanted to "keep it pure." The labor market shows serious cracks. Job openings dropped by nearly one million year over year to 6.5 million. Unemployment claims jumped to 231,000 last week. January layoffs hit 108,435 people — up 118 percent from last year and the worst January since 2009 during the Great Recession. Big Tech continues its massive AI spending spree. Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Oracle will collectively spend over $500 billion on AI infrastructure this year. Google's spending alone doubled from 2025, reaching up to $185 billion focused on data centers and Gemini development. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
