Podcasts about Seven deadly sins

Anger may begin with something that truly is wrong, but wrath can take root when we start believing it's our job to make it right.There are times when our desire for justice is completely understandable. But when we hold tightly to the outcome and take responsibility for fixing what only God can handle, that anger can begin to weigh heavily on our hearts.In this episode, Angie steps into Proverbs 15:1 for a closer look at wrath and what happens when our desire for justice becomes a need to make things right ourselves. We're reminded that we can acknowledge what is wrong, use our voices when needed, and still choose gentle responses while trusting God with the justice and outcomes that belong to Him.What you'll hear in this week's episodeWhy wrath is about more than explosive angerHow a healthy desire for justice can turn into a need to make things right ourselvesWhat the original Hebrew word for “wrath” reveals about the effect anger can have on our hearts and mindsWhy our words and responses can either cool anger or add fuel to itHow trusting God helps us release burdens we were never meant to carry ResourcesBible Study SessionsA new round of Bible Study Sessions begins October 22.

Simon and Rachel speak to David Walsh, chief sports writer at the Sunday Times. David began his career reporting for the Leitrim Observer in Ireland and at the age of 25 he became the editor. His next job was at the Dublin-based newspaper the Irish Press, and while working there he decided to take a year out to cover cycling in Paris. He returned to his job for a short period before moving on to the Sunday Tribune followed by the Sunday Independent, and in 1996 he joined the Sunday Times. In 2012 he wrote "Seven Deadly Sins", the story of his 13-year pursuit of the cycling drug cheat Lance Armstrong, which played out on the pages of the Sunday Times and ended in a Hollywood movie, "The Program" in 2015. David's other books include "Inside Team Sky" and "The Russian Affair" and he has won Sports Writer of the Year four times at the Press Awards.  We spoke to David about deciding he wanted to be a sports journalist at the age of six, his investigation into Lance Armstrong, and covering brain injuries in rugby and other sports.  In addition to the standard audio format, the podcast is now available in video.

This week we continue our series, "Seven Deadly Sins." Join us as we learn that there is danger in pride and laziness.

Fr. Edward pulls a Blessed Fulton Sheen by comparing the Seven Deadly Sins with the Theological and Cardinal Virtues.

How do you handle when someone gets the blessing you have been praying for? Are you winning, losing, or blessed?

Scripture lesson - 1 Kings 21:1-16 Rev. Kevin Long

Envy tells us someone else's blessing means there is less available for us. Gratitude reminds us that God has been generous all along.Comparison can make another person's success feel like evidence that our own life is smaller or less significant. But Proverbs warns that envy does more than steal a moment of joy. It quietly poisons our peace, contentment, and ability to celebrate what God is doing in someone else's life.In this episode, Angie opens Proverbs 14:30 to explore how envy takes root, why scarcity fuels it, and how practicing gratitude helps loosen its grip. Through an honest personal story, she reminds us that God never measures our obedience against someone else's assignment, and His generosity toward others does not diminish His goodness toward us.What you'll hear in this week's episodeWhat Scripture reveals about the destructive nature of envyHow comparison can make someone else's success feel like your lossWhy the lie of scarcity keeps envy aliveA personal story about gratitude overcoming resentmentHow remembering God's generosity leads us toward peace, contentment, and restResourcesFree Live Bible Study WorkshopJoin Angie on September 24 for a free, one-hour Bible study workshop using the Step By Step method.

This week we continue our series, "Seven Deadly Sins." Join us as we learn that when we let Anger get the best of us it can bring out the worst in us.

Scripture Lesson - Matthew 5:21-22 & Romans 12:17-21 Rev. Kevin Long

Seven sins have wrecked thousands of believers. Know them... fight them... or they will finish you.

Comparison doesn't reveal your worth. It only distracts you from the One who gave it to you.Pride rarely announces itself with arrogance. More often, it quietly slips into our hearts through comparison, self-reliance, and the subtle belief that our value is something we have to earn or prove.In this episode, Angie opens Proverbs 16:18 to explore how pride distorts our identity, why it leads us away from God's wisdom, and how true freedom is found when we release self-exaltation and remember who we are in Christ.What you'll hear in this week's episodeWhat Scripture reveals about the true nature of prideWhy comparison quietly fuels pride and steals our peaceHow pride shifts our focus from God's glory to our own performanceWhat God's mercy looks like when He exposes pride in our heartsThe freedom that comes from finding your identity in Christ instead of your achievementsResourcesFree Live Bible Study WorkshopJoin Angie on September 24 for a free, one-hour Bible study workshop as she teaches the Step By Step Bible study method through James 1:5.

This week we continue our series on the seven deadly sins. Join us as we learn that you cannot love God with your whole being and your neighbor as yourself while entangled in envy or gluttony.

Scripture Lesson - Luke 18:9-14 Rev. Kevin Long

In his teaching on anger and the Seven Deadly Sins, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, points to Burning Man as a striking microcosm of a culture increasingly confused about the meaning of freedom. Its emphasis on radical self-expression can reflect a deeper temptation of our age: I decide for myself what is good, what is true, and how I will live. When freedom becomes detached from God, truth, and moral responsibility, self-expression can become self-worship. Scripture gives us a different path: “Bad company ruins good morals” (1 Cor 15:33), and Christians are repeatedly called to flee from what leads us into sin. Like the golden calf, the danger is ultimately idolatry; not necessarily worshiping an animal or statue, but placing the human person and our desires where God belongs.This connects directly with anger and the deadly sins. Our culture increasingly promises instant pleasure, instant gratification, and freedom without restraint; when our desires are frustrated, anger easily follows. Christianity proposes something radically different: authentic freedom is not the ability to satisfy every desire, but the grace and strength to choose what is good, even when it requires sacrifice. The desert has long symbolized spiritual combat: Christ faced Satan there, and the early monks entered the desert to confront temptation through prayer and self-denial. Catholics should therefore discern carefully the environments they enter and what those environments celebrate. We do not need to “play with fire” to understand it. We are called instead to pursue holiness, discipline our passions, reject modern forms of idolatry, and worship God rather than ourselves.Readings for September 13th 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/091326.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

Record collecting has its temptations—and this week on Surface Noise, we're confessing ours. We kick things off with the latest vinyl news and Current Events, including a hard look at the latest Maggot Brain reissue. Do collectors really need another copy, or is this exactly the kind of release that leads us directly into our main topic? But before we can jump into the topic de jour of the Power Hour, a bit of controversial news arrives in the chat, and friend of the show Norman Maslov (aka Mazzy) asks to jump on to defend his influential powers as a YouTuber. From there, our man on the scene - Kendall (aka The Spin Doctor and His Vinyl Mayhem) shares his opening weekend visit to the Goodwill store in Matthews, NC that sells records (and other retro media) exclusively in that storefront. His findings will provide some shock, a little awe, and some old fashioned "least surprising news, ever" feedback. Hint: grab your wallet.... Then it's time to confess The Seven Deadly Sins of Record Collecting. Every vinyl collector has a weakness, but which habits cross the line from passion into obsession? We identify and debate seven of the biggest sins in the hobby: FOMO. Hoarding. Variant chasing. Condition obsession. Flipping. Upgrade addiction. And perhaps the greatest sin of all—buying records you don't actually like. Which ones are we guilty of? Which are simply part of collecting? And are there even worse vinyl sins that deserve a spot on the list? It's another spirited edition of Surface Noise: The Show of Record, Talking Records, featuring vinyl collecting, record collecting culture, new vinyl releases, reissues, music collecting, audiophile records, record collector habits, artist merchandise and plenty of opinions from the Vinyl Community. 

Christ didn't set you free just to remove your chains. He set you free so you could live differently.It's surprisingly easy to grow comfortable with the things that keep us bound. But Galatians reminds us that true freedom isn't earned through rules or striving, but rather is found in Christ and lived out by walking closely with Him.In this episode, Angie explores Galatians 5:1, unpacking what it means to live in the freedom Christ purchased for us. You'll discover how subtle patterns can quietly keep us stuck, why grace is stronger than legalism, and how God lovingly invites us to experience the life of freedom He intended all along.What you'll hear in this week's episodeWhat biblical freedom really means according to Galatians 5:1Why we often adapt to spiritual bondage without realizing itThe difference between living by grace and living by man-made rulesHow to recognize the subtle lies that keep us entangledWhy God calls us to stand firm in the freedom Christ has already given usResourcesFree Live Bible Study WorkshopJoin Angie on September 24 for a free, one-hour Bible study workshop as she teaches the Step By Step Bible study method through James 1:5.

This week we continue our series, "Seven Deadly Sins." Join us as we learn that we must not treat what is holy as if it were common.

On this week’s episode of The Art of Living Big, Betsy shares some big news and while doing so is alerted to her reflex to downplay this big news to make it smaller. Are you editing your feelings? Are you minimizing your accomplishments to seem more comfortable around others? Betsy shares steps to recognize when we are doing this and advises us how we can turn it around. Also, stay tuned near the end for the announcement of the 2nd retreat! Transcript:  Welcome to The Art of Living Big, where we explore how to live intentionally and with more joy. I’m Betsy Pake, your host, master, coach, and creator of the Navigate Method. Here to help you listen in to your true desires, elevate your standards, and live life to the fullest. Now, let’s go live big. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show today. I have had a really busy week. Tomorrow… Well, I’m recording this on a Wednesday. You guys’ll hear it on Thursday. And tomorrow I’m gonna be on NBC. So I did this last year, and I’m recording a couple episodes, doing something live for them for their noontime show. You know how, how cities have, like, their local Atlanta station and then they have, like, a little local show? Whatever. It’s still very exciting, and I’m trying to pick out my outfits, so, that’s my big personal update that I’m doing. But I, I have had this conversation, and in fact, I’ve had this same conversation a couple times with a couple different friends, and I think it kinda came up initially because we were talking about this NBC thing. I know that it’s not- Well, I, I’m about to say something, and what I’m about to say is the exact thing that I’m trying to teach you not to do. Okay? So I noticed that when I was talking about it, I was explaining that, you know, I recognize it’s, it’s not like I’m on Oprah. It’s, it’s the local daytime Atlanta show. Do you see how I tried to make that seem less? Smaller? Just, like, a little bit not as big of a deal? ‘Cause I don’t wanna feel like it’s a great big deal. It’s not that big of a deal. But also, it is, and it’s really fun, and it’s, like, a cool thing that I’m so grateful to be able to do. And I love the host of the show. She’s so fricking cool. And last year when I was on, it was so fun, and it was nice to get the video and to have it for my website, and I’m talking about two different topics, you know, in related to our, our work here. And it, seems exciting. I love to talk about it. We’re gonna talk about when you drop your kids off at college and you have nothing to say to your husband on the way home. And for a recorded episode for later, we’re gonna record a segment on why women are turning to AI. So conversations I really wanna have. So why am I trying to make it smaller? Why am I doing that? And I was talking to this other friend of mine, and we were just, like, catching up, and same kinda thing, and she was talking about some things she was doing and some big trips she was doing, and she tried to make ’em seem a little bit smaller. And a lot of the women that I know are entrepreneurs, because I’ve met them through entrepreneurial groups, and they’re all really successful. Like, I look up to them so much. And this one friend was talking about how she … how much money she makes and what her goal is for the year and some struggles that she was having. And I noticed that she was trying to- Like, uh, dummy it down a little bit, you know? And it was just the two of us. Like, we’re on the same page. We both want her to be wildly successful. And, you know, when she noticed that she’s around people who have less successful businesses or maybe make less money than she does, that she does things to try to make her life sound smaller than it is. She’s not lying, but she’s just not saying it all. She’s, like, editing. You know, trimming down the things she’s getting to do or saying, you know, “It’s not that big of a deal, it’s not Oprah.” I mean, the same things I’m talking about, and it’s so fascinating to me, like, why we do that. And even here when I’m trying to tell you about this and teach you something about it, w- I only te- I always am talking, I am… If you have been here a little while, you know this, but if you’re new here, I am with you on the journey, so I am teaching stuff as I’m learning it or things that I have learned along the way. But this is something that is continuing to come up, and I think a lot of us do this in little and small ways. So I wanna talk to you, and I want you to think about the last time that you, like, almost said something and then you didn’t. And not, I don’t mean something mean, but not something you’d regret, but something that was true. And, you know, maybe it was about how you actually feel about your, about your marriage. Maybe it was about how much money you make or how much you want to make. Maybe it was somebody asking you how you’ve been, and you had a real answer that was, like, right there in your mouth like marbles and you wanted to say it. But instead, you’re like, “You know, it’s been busy. The summer’s busy.” You edited it. Edited? Yeah. You edited it in, like, a nanosecond, and it w- it probably happened so fast that you didn’t even experience that as a decision. And, and, you know, it was an unconscious decision, not really a conscious choice. And the thing that I want you to notice about that is that you didn’t edit it bec- I’ll never get used to saying that word. You didn’t edit it because it wasn’t true. You did it because of how it might sound, and that’s a, different thing entirely So I think we have a word for this. We call it humility. You know, don’t brag, don’t make people uncomfortable, read the room, you know, be, be gracious. Nobody likes a woman who takes up too much space, you know? And look, you know, there is a real version of humility. There is. It’s the thing that keeps you, you curious. It’s knowing that you might be wrong. It’s, it’s not needing to be the center of every room that you walk into. It is a version that is good in that. And so I don’t wanna argue against humility as I just described it. But somewhere along the way, a second thing got handed to us that we call humility, and that second thing isn’t about being curious or being open to being wrong. It’s about being small. It is a version of you that says, “Whatever you have, don’t say it out loud. Whatever it is you want, keep it to yourself. And whatever you are carrying, carry it in a way that doesn’t inconvenience anybody.” And that’s not actually humility. That’s, I don’t know, some really heavy form of management. And so I wanna ask you to ask yourself who exactly is that managing? And here’s how I’ve come to think about it, and I’ve been sitting on this one for a little while. If you guys have been here, you’ve heard me talk about how I read that book,, it’s called The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. And in that, she talks about the seven deadly sins, how we think those are tied to the Bible, but they’re not. It’s actually tied to the patriarchy, and they are a way to keep us in check, to keep us in line. So a woman who makes herself small is a woman who is easier to be around. She’s easier to be married to. She’s easier to employ. She’s easier to have as a sister or a mother or a friend. She doesn’t disrupt anything, and she takes up exactly the amount of space that’s already been allotted to her and, and doesn’t ask for anything more than that. And that is really useful. It’s, it’s just not useful to her. But it is useful because think about what actually happens when you downplay your life to make someone else comfortable. Nobody gets richer. Nobody gets happier. You know, the, the person that’s sitting there across from you doesn’t feel better about their situation because you shrank yours. All that happens is now there are two people in the room being smaller than they are, because if you stayed big, would they grow to meet you? You didn’t give anybody anything. You just, you just modeled something. And if you have daughters or nieces or younger women that watch you, you know, they, they learned it, too. They learn it quick. We learned it quick, right? And you don’t have to actually name it or, like, say a thing about it. We pick it up And here’s what I want you to think about this, because a lot of you listening are in the middle of a decision about your marriage, right? Some of you have been in the middle of that decision for years. I like to think I’m not alone. When I was in indecision for years and years, and years. But I want you to consider that this same habit is running inside that too. So I want you to think about how you talk about your marriage, like to your friends or to your sister or, you know, even, like in your own head when you’re just, like, going for a walk or you’re in the car all alone. Like, do you say it like it is? Or do you tell it in a way that sounds reasonable? Because there is a really particular thing that I think we do, and I hear it all the time, is that she will describe something that is genuinely painful, and then she’ll immediately follow it up with, “Oh, but he’s a good dad. But it’s not like he’s a bad guy. But I’m sure I’m not easier to live with either, you know? I know a lot of people have it worse.” And, you know, I, I mean, every single one of those things might be true. I think that’s what makes this little pattern so sneaky. Because if you watch what the words are actually doing, it’s, it’s taking the thing that you just said and shrinking it back down to a size that doesn’t require anybody to do anything about it, including you. And that is the same, same reflex, you know? It’s the same move. Now, I know a lot of you are, are deeply fair people, and you’d hate to be unfair about a man or a job or whatever that you have spent decades with. I get that But I wanna offer the idea that being accurate is a different job than being fair. And you can be super fair and be wildly inaccurate about you. You know, people describe to me all the time, like, so many years of loneliness, so many years of frustration. I remember in my own marriage, that was how I would describe it. That was the biggest word I would use, is I mean, insanely frustrated. I could not understand why what felt like very simple asks were n- being completely disregarded. Like, it, it just seemed, it was, like, m- crazy-making. And I hear other women saying the same thing. They will describe years of loneliness, and then spend the next, you know, four paragraphs out of their mouth making sure that he still sounds okay, that they have been fair. Then, and, you know, we tell a lot of stories in which our loneliness was, or our frustration was just, like, a detail in the story, but how he appears becomes, like, the whole point of the thing. Again, I wanna be really careful how I say this, ’cause I’m not saying we need to be unfair, and I’m not saying everything’s all his fault. I’m not saying that. I’m saying that the softener that you’re doing isn’t kindness to him. He’s not even here when we’re talking. The softener is for you. It’s for you to make sure that what you said doesn’t sound like too much. And so here’s kind of the question that I have been asking myself as I tell the story about how I’m not gonna be on Oprah. And I wanna offer it to you. What would I be saying right now if I weren’t worried about how it sounded? That’s, that’s it. That’s the whole thing What would I be saying right now if I wasn’t worried about how it sounded? Not what’s the right answer, not, like, what would a good woman say. What would I say if I didn’t seem like I thought I was too much? I don’t want people to think I think too much of myself or that I’m so great. That is, like, such a thing, right? So just strip out the part of me that’s monitoring this whole thing, and what is left? And I’ll tell you what I’ve noticed when I do this, is that the answer comes really fast. It, it’s n- it’s, it’s really obvious to me. It’s sitting right there, just, like, a half an inch below, below my voice box. And the sentence that I was about to say, which tells you something really important, which is we already know. We’re not confused. I’m not confused And even as I’m, I wanna say, like, I’m not confused about being on NBC tomorrow. It’s so fun. What a cool thing. There was a version of me 10 years ago that would have dreamed of this, to dream of picking out my outfits, you know? Like, how fun. I know from last time when I was on, we got millions of views. Like, that’s amazing marketing. Like, why would I try and make that sound less? And it is a habit. So it doesn’t always feel like it’s suppression. It feels like I’m being humble. It feels like being mature, right? I’m not making this too big of a deal. It’s no big deal And so how do you know if you’re being, like, I don’t know, uh, genuinely gracious or if you’re just shrinking? ‘Cause I think they look the same from, like, the other side of the table, you know? And here’s what I found. There are some things that we can check, and we can check them super quick, okay? So I want you to notice the speed. So real consideration takes a beat. Like, you think about the person, you think about the moment, and you make a choice. Shrinking is instant. It happens before the thought. So it, happens really, really quick. It wasn’t a decision. It never came into your consciousness. It was a reflex, okay? So real consideration is I’m talking to somebody, and I’m like, “I know they just lost their job, so I’m not gonna talk about how I just got a raise.” Like, I’m gonna just… Right? That’s real consideration. Now, doing it shrinking is when you are talking to somebody who’s doing great, and you’re like, “Oh, yeah, it’s no big deal. I mean, I got a little raise, but whatever. Everybody got one.” Do you see what I mean? You notice a little difference, right? Here’s the second thing, is you’re gonna notice how you feel afterwards. When you have been genuinely kind, you feel good about it, right? They just lost their job. I’m not gonna talk about how I just got a raise. You know? Maybe you feel a little proud of yourself. But when you make yourself small, you feel something else. You feel kinda flat. Sometimes I feel a little tired, I’ll notice, and there’s sort of, like, ugh, I wish I didn’t do that, and that feeling, I think, is the data, right? It’s the feeling of, like, there’s a room I could walk into, but I’m not gonna walk into it because I don’t wanna look like I wanna be in the room. So silly. And then number three is, like, who’s more comfortable in this? Like, real, like, graciousness, I’m gonna call it, it, it usually costs you something small, and it gives somebody something that’s really real, you know? Shrinking costs you something real, and nobody cares. Nobody gives you anything. So if you look at the room afterwards and you’re like, “Nobody benefited. Nobody benefits from me saying, ‘Well, it’s not Oprah.'” Like, nobody cares. You guys will… You’ll get off this podcast, and you’ll never think about how I’m on NBC again ’cause who… ‘Cause you don’t… You know what I mean? ‘Cause you got your own life. So it’s not me being humble. It’s me being safe or not wanting to seem too big or like I’m, like I think I’m d- so great instead of just owning this is a really cool, fun thing I get to do, and there’s no shame in that. And it isn’t Oprah, that’s true, but you don’t get to Oprah until you get to this. It’s on the way. I don’t know. Is it on the way? It- you know where I’m on the way to Drew Barrymore? That’s where we’re headed, folk. If I could be on The Drew Barrymore Show, I just want her to sit on my lap while we talk. That’s what I want. So I’m not gonna go tell you to, like, announce your new raise and your new salary over a giant dinner party. That’s not what I’m saying, but I think you need to catch it. You just need to, to notice it. You don’t have to even fix it, just notice the moment where you were about to say something that was true and something reached in and sort of changed the dials a little bit, and notice how many times a day it happens. Most of the time, I think… I think this is accurate, most women would be shocked at how many times they do it. In little ways you will shrink yourself. It might be with your husband. It might be with coworkers. It might be with yourself. You’re just talking to yourself and you do it. So just let yourself know the answer. Just let that exist because I don’t think we can make real decisions about our life using this edited information, and if the only version of your life that you have ever said out loud is the version that was pre-approved for everybody else to be comfortable with, then you have been trying to decide something enormous based on like a, a, like a kernel of it that you have created for somebody else. Like, no wonder life feels like it’s a slog, and no wonder we’re not getting where we wanna go. Don’t you think, honestly, if I was declaring I wanted to be on The Drew Barrymore Show and I was just talking about it all the time, like thinking about it in my own life and allowing it to be available to me, don’t you think if I was owning internally the fact that I’m gonna get to practice and be on NBC and do live, live TV, like that’s freaking cool. Atlanta’s a big market Like, don’t you think that would help me? And everything, if you’ve been here a while, everything you know about our brains and how our brains work, and how we actually create, don’t you think me owning it would help me to see a possibility in the future where the next thing I wanted would be available to me? Where the stretch didn’t seem that big. Because I’m creating a bigger space between me and Drew Barrymore by making this seem really small. If I made it seem bigger, the gap would close. Do you see what I mean? So I want you to think about where you’re doing this, where you’re keeping yourself from the next level of things that you want in an effort to be attainable in this version of you, in an effort to be eaten. Do you know what I mean by that? I don’t know why that’s the word coming to me, but it, to be absorbed, you know? You don’t wanna be too big of a chunk. Nobody’ll be able to chew it. So you try to make it really tiny. You’re not too much. You never, ever have been too much. You just learned early that by being a little bit less, you were safer, and you got so good at it That you forgot that it was a skill that you were taught and not a fact about who you are. So when you can start to do that, that is how I think you live a big life. All right, one last thing before we go. Punta Cana. We’re going to Punta Cana, you guys, January 21st to the 25th.

This week we begin our new series, "Seven Deadly Sins." Join us as we learn that greed and lust always lead to death.

In this installment of “Ask Me Anything,” Pastor Luke spoke about six topics. This message was delivered in gathered worship on Sunday, August 30, 2026 at Jewel Lake Parish in Anchorage, Alaska. TIMESTAMPS 00:10 which of the Seven Deadly Sins is least talked about? 03:14 what is the state of JLP's merger with Trinity and disaffiliation from UMC? 12:01 what Bible translation do you prefer for scholarly research? 15:34 can Extra-Terrestrial life forms be part of our religion or is it confined to humans? 18:10 how was the Old Testament compiled into the Hebrew Bible as we know it today? 22:00 why did Jesus ignore the Canaanite woman's request? Pastor Luke preaches from Matthew 15:21-28 in "Ask Me Anything."

Most of us have heard of the seven deadly sins, but I'd never heard them reframed quite like this. In this episode, I dig into Elizabeth Oldfield's idea that these old sins aren't really about morality checklists, they're about disconnection, and I bring that lens straight into marriage and the bedroom. The part I can't stop thinking about is a mistranslation in Matthew 5 that's convinced a lot of good, married people they should feel ashamed just for wanting their own spouse. I also discuss how President Benson's "Beware of Pride" talk works within  Oldfield's work, and for every pattern that pulls you apart, I give you what actually brings you back together. I invite you to listen and see if anything makes you stop and think about your own relationship. You might be surprised. Here are the questions for this week's episode. Here is the link to the book I talk about, Fully Alive.

Put that Twinkie down, you slob, and let's talk about GLUTTONY. The fourth circle of hell is where Dante encounters the people who lived their lives scarfing down cannoli and now spend their afterlife getting pelted with slime and chewed up by the three-headed beast Cerberus. It's also where the poet subtly introduces some key concepts that help make sense of the whole poem--the relation between body and soul, the nature of civil war, and ordo amoris--the principle of love that structures the entire divine comedy. Let's, erm...tuck in! PLUS: I am extremely excited to tell you about my new book, A Way With Words, out in February.

In this episode, Dr Jesse Green sits down with returning guest Michael Filosi to unpack the seven deadly sins of dental practice ownership: the recurring mistakes that quietly cap growth, enterprise value, and exit outcomes for practice owners. Jesse and Michael cover the fundamentals of high standards and self leadership, the numbers every practice owner should be able to read on the fly, the strategy for engineering yourself out of key person dependency, the discretionary effort required to lift your business IQ, why finding a first follower is more powerful than trying to lead the whole team on your own, the discipline of taking money off the table to build wealth outside the practice, and the shift from convincing team members to seeking their opt in. If you are a dental practice owner who wants to build a business that grows in value independent of your chair time, you won't want to miss this episode.In This Episode:03:00 Why standards are green light or red light, never seven out of ten, and how self leadership sets the ceiling for your team12:34 The numbers that actually move the needle in a dental practice, and why rebooking rate is the keystone metric19:57 How Michael took his revenue contribution from 40 percent to 0.6 percent and walked out with a clean sale42:22 The first follower concept, why it matters more than being the leader, and how to spot the right person49:34 The four financial systems every practice needs, and why the sale should be the cherry on top, not the cakeResources and Links:How Does Your Dental Practice Compare Against the Top Performers?Stay Up to Date by Following Dr Jesse Green on InstagramConnect with Dr Jesse Green on LinkedInIf you're a Dental Practice Owner looking to scale your practice, learn more about our Practice Max ProgramMichael Filosi's:Website, www.michaelfilosi.com.auLinkedIn, www.linkedin.com/in/michaelfilosiMentioned in this episode:Savvy Dentist Team Training BundleIf your practice can't run without you, it's time for systems - not more theory.

RJ Spina, a metaphysician who healed himself from chest-down "permanent" paralysis, reveals that suffering isn't real—only your mistaken ownership of a character that was never truly you. From being told he had 48 hours to live to feeling pure joy while his body broke down, RJ shows that liberation comes when you stop identifying with your thoughts, pain, and story. He witnessed agonizing pain without suffering, proving that you are the awareness watching the storm, not the storm itself.Using metaphors like the sun (untouched by weather) and the time-lapse camera (unaffected by the fire it records), he explains that healing isn't a process—it's an instant release of crystallized identity. The ego mind keeps you trapped by turning everything into a drawn-out journey, but letting go can happen in a single second.We explore why narcissists are a separate genus of being designed as catalysts for your evolution, why the soul deliberately chooses trauma for accelerated growth, why unconditional love is actually a spiritual control agenda, the one-second meditation technique, why pain and pleasure are identical sensations at higher consciousness, and how manifesting wealth operates through the exact same inner mechanics as healing your body.Your character gets traumatized—but you, the I AM, have never been touched. Will you keep rearranging furniture in the same room, or finally step out of the house entirely?___

Why is comparison so hard to escape?In this reflection on Psalm 37, John Ortberg explores the hidden power of envy and why it quietly robs us of joy, gratitude, and peace.Drawing on insights from Rebecca Konyndyk DeYoung, John explains the difference between jealousy and envy, why comparison always leaves us feeling deficient, and how God's care frees us from measuring our lives against everyone else's.This episode explores:- Psalm 37 and overcoming envy- Why comparison is so destructive- The difference between jealousy and envy- Biblical stories of envy- Social media and the comparison trap- Living each day under God's loving careScriptures:- Psalm 37- Genesis 4- Genesis 25–30- Genesis 37- Matthew 5:5#Psalm37 #JohnOrtberg #Envy #Comparison #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Contentment #Faith

What do the Seven Deadly Sins have to do with fundraising? More than you might think. Pride, greed, envy, wrath, sloth, and the others quietly find their way into nonprofit leadership, donor relationships, and fundraising strategy. This limits an organization's ability to fulfill its mission. Let's dive in and find out how these timeless human tendencies show up in philanthropy and look at a practical framework for recognizing and overcoming them.

Ian Selbie is a globally recognized sales expert, author, speaker, and podcast host with more than 25 years of experience helping organizations improve sales performance and sustainable growth.He has trained and coached more than 17,000 sales professionals worldwide and previously worked at Apple, where he was named the company's Top Salesperson in the World in 1990.Ian is the author of If You Were Arrested for Selling, Would There Be Enough Evidence to Convict You? and the host of Confessions of a Sales Pro.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome Ian Selbie to discuss selling with curiosity, compassion, and strong fundamentals.Ian shares his framework: “Call high, find the pain, bring the gain, and do it again and again.” He explains why salespeople should begin with decision-makers, uncover real business challenges before presenting solutions, and avoid sending proposals to unqualified opportunities.The conversation also explores several of Ian's “Seven Deadly Sins in Selling,” including calling too low, proposing too early, and expecting CRM technology to fix a broken sales process.KEY TAKEAWAYSSelling from the heart begins with genuine curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to helping customers succeed.Start every opportunity at the highest level possible—decision-makers can say yes, while influencers often cannot."Call high, find the pain, bring the gain" provides a simple framework for creating meaningful customer conversations.Never present a proposal before you've fully qualified the opportunity and uncovered the customer's true business challenges.Technology doesn't fix poor sales fundamentals—a CRM only amplifies the quality of your existing sales process.The strongest path into executive leadership is through earned referrals built on trust and consistent value.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESCall high, find the pain, bring the gain, then do it again and again.Influencers can say no. Decision-makers can say yes.If your sales team were arrested for selling, would there be enough evidence to convict them?A CRM doesn't fix broken sales processes—it magnifies them.Value grows when you increase the benefit, not when you decrease the price.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

This week on The Chino and Homeboy Podcast, the homies enter another unhinged Sacrilegious Sunday and somehow turn looksmaxing, Filipino spider battles, fake sex science, OnlyFans drama, big girl content houses, hygiene rules, aviation disasters, and Drake fans into one long bad decision.We get into “maxing” culture, why Filipino spider fighting is basically real-life Pokémon, whether nose shape predicting sexual compatibility is peak pseudoscience, if tall dudes are speedrunning life, the AR-15 vs M16 argument, the weird gray areas in the Paradise documentary, whether OnlyFans counts as cheating, why some people still need shower instructions, and why Drake fans need to calm the hell down.This is comedy, chaos, culture, bad advice, good questions, and three grown men absolutely refusing to stay on topic.18+ comedy podcast.

Abiding for Health: The Fruit of The Spirit | The Hygiene of My Heart (Week 8)Description:Are you exhausted from trying to "fix" your behavior? Do you feel like your spiritual life is stuck in a construction zone, constantly trying to force changes that don't seem to last?In this final, high-impact message of "The Hygiene of My Heart" series, Pastor Charlie Grimes concludes our clinical soul assessment by revealing exactly what a fully healthy, thriving heart looks like. We step out of the diagnostic lab and into the vineyard to discover that spiritual wholeness isn't a behavior we construct; it's a harvest God cultivates!Building on the foundation laid throughout this eight-week journey, we integrate our unique medical and biblical diagnostic tools to understand:

Today, we think of the seven deadly sins as outdated definitions of moral flaws prohibited by the church. But as this Long Read written by Peter Jones reveals, these vices were originally conceived to provide medieval solutions to universal human problems.

This episode was originally published on May 19th, 2025. Every week I get some iteration of this question: "I hooked three fish and lost all of them before I could get them to the net. What am I doing wrong?" Well, often you did nothing wrong and it was just bad luck. But there are steps you can take to make sure you land the fish you've hooked and Josh Nugent [36:46], a regular on my podcast and one of the most thoughtful anglers I know, presents us with his Seven Deadly Sins. There are lots of helpful nuggets in this one.   In the Fly Box this week, we have these questions and tips: You say I can fish small streamers on my 5-weight rod. What do you mean by "small'? I am using the Albright knot for larger sections of my leader. What do you think? A tip from a listener on how not to launch small brookies into the bushes when you hook them. Why am I losing half of my fish when using barbless hooks? Is there any situation where you would use an Improved Clinch Knot as opposed to the regular Clinch Knot? A tip from a listener on how to tie big foam flies that won't land upside-down. How do you balance various passions, family, work, and still have the energy and time to get out on the water? How do you set up your emergers, and what is your go-to emerger fly? Where can I find split shot that does not contain lead? How do you feel about the relative perceived intelligence of hatchery fish as compared to wild fish?

Addiction can be weaponized against people, to draw them into deeper addiction.  The sin of lust promises much, gives nothing, and leaves one craving for more. Is there a way out?

Rather than sidestepping the number, Heather uses it as a frame for something worth naming: the very human patterns that undermine AI adoption in short-term rental businesses. Drawing on her own experience, conversations with property managers, and the collected wisdom of fifty experienced operators featured in Brooke Pfautz's book Vacation Rental Secrets, she maps seven recognisable failure modes onto the classical seven deadly sins. These are not abstract warnings. They are patterns that show up with remarkable consistency across different markets, business sizes, and experience levels. Heather has lived several of them herself. And because they are patterns, they can be recognised, named, and redirected. That is the point of the episode: awareness is the first step toward a different choice. If you have been accumulating AI tools without connecting them, automating your guest communications without thinking about what that does to the relationship, or chasing the latest model release without going deep into the one you already have, this episode is for you. And if you recognise yourself in any of the seven sins, Heather's message is not judgment. It is: now you can make a different choice. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Patrick answers questions ranging from the three days of darkness prophecy and private revelation to why forgiveness can be such a struggle and how wrath creeps up in daily life, all with a straight-on, plainspoken style that never ducks the awkward moments. He unpacks biblical puzzles like the talking serpent in Eden, considers purity of speech and virtue—sometimes with unexpected personal stories—and even pauses for lighthearted banter about Taco Tuesday. From military mentorship to the challenge of living celibacy and service, Patrick threads honesty and realism through each unpredictable call. Freddie – Why would God do the three days of darkness? (00:46) Henry (email) - Warriors of God for Marines (12:21) Bill (email) - Are we as Catholics called to love and forgive each and every fellow human, including hardened sinners no matter what? (19:17) Karen (email) – How do you feel about priests swearing? (22:13) Catherine – Was Satan an actual snake in the Garden of Eden? (26:51) Megan - 'as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be...', applied to scenes in Christ's life on earth seems to show timelessness. Is this a true interpretation of that phrase? (30:08) Jessica - What is your book recommendation on the Seven Deadly Sins? (38:17) Lia – What does the phrase, “some of us meant to be married and some to serve” mean?

That's right! We will hopefully have a floating city coming into existence. Housing 10's of thousands of residents, cruisers, and staff, this new floating city will have it all! We just have to wait for it to actually happen. Eddie heard about the rumored artist to be playing the 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Show and wasn't too happy about it. So in classic Eddie fashion, he offered up some alternatives with HIS Top 10 Super Bowl Halftime Show Contenders! We found a poll asking people which of the 7 deadly sins they think they commit the most, least and what they think America in general commits the most so of course we break those results down as well as share our own.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath! You might be surprised to learn the true history of the Seven Deadly Sins doesn't start in the bible. Rather, they were first thought up by a Greek monk in the 4th century who'd fled to the desert after becoming embroiled in a scandal with a married woman…Dan is joined by historian and author Peter Jones to trace the true history of the Seven Deadly Sins, why they took the Middle Ages by storm, and how they have shaped European society for centuries.You can learn more in Peter's new book, ' Self Help from the Middle Ages: What the Seven Deadly Sins Can Teach Us About Living'Produced by Mariana Des Forges, McKenna Fernandez and James Hickmann.

When medieval historian Peter Jones found himself spiraling into depression while teaching at a frigid Siberian university with icicles sprouting from his eyelashes, he asked himself what a medieval sufferer would do—and discovered something shocking: the Middle Ages, for all its reputation as a dark and superstitious time, was actually the golden age of self-help. A medieval merchant consulting a priest about melancholia would receive diagnosis, confession, and penance based on the Seven Deadly Sins, a psychological framework that mapped the seven basic patterns of human thought long before modern psychiatry existed. What we dismiss today as a catalog of Thou Shall Nots was actually an intricate system for understanding behavior—so effective that Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn, credited it for his social media success by mapping each sin to platforms: Tinder on Lust, Yelp on Gluttony, LinkedIn on Greed, Netflix on Sloth, Twitter on Anger, Facebook on Envy, and Instagram on Pride. Today's guest is Peter Jones, author of Self-Help from the Middle Ages: What the Seven Deadly Sins Can Teach Us About Living. We discuss how fourth-century Egyptian monk Evagrius Ponticus formulated eight "wicked thoughts" to help monks identify psychological roots of temptation, why Pope Gregory the Great consolidated them into seven sins in the sixth century, and how the 1215 Lateran Council made yearly confession mandatory, transforming intellectual theology into practical psychology for the masses. Jones explains why sloth was considered the "ultimate danger"—a stagnation of the soul and refusal to fulfill one's purpose—and how medieval thinkers like Levi ben Abraham argued that avarice shackles the soul to material distractions while knowledge remains the only possession that cannot be stolen, making intellectual acquisitions the cure for greed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
