What does it really mean to trust someone—and how intentional are you about the choices you make every day? You'll rethink trust from the inside out as Charles Feltman challenges the idea that trust is vague or emotional and reframes it as a conscious decision to make something you value vulnerable to another person's actions. You'll learn how trust works in both directions and why being trustworthy isn't enough if you're unwilling to extend trust to others. Charles shares a practical, behavior-based framework built around four key domains—care, sincerity, reliability, and competence—along with real workplace examples that show how trust can be strengthened, assessed, repaired, or rebuilt through honest conversation and clear commitments. Charles has nearly three decades of experience helping leaders and teams build, maintain, and, when necessary, restore trust. He currently runs trust-building workshops under the banner of Trust at Work® and also speaks on the subject. An overarching goal in his work is that his clients achieve what they consider to be their full potential as leaders and as human beings. He is the author of The Thin Book® of Trust: An Essential Primer for Building Trust at Work. Currently in its 3rd edition, it has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide. You'll discover: How to define trust in clear, practical termsThe four domains that determine whether trust grows or erodesWhy focusing on behavior—not character—matters mostHow leaders can repair trust after a misstepA shared language that makes trust discussable at workConnect with Charles FeltmanLinkedIn Website Insight Coaching BooksThe Thin Book of Trust, 3rd edition: An Essential Primer for Building Trust at WorkCheck out all the episodesLeave a review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Meredith on LinkedIn

Normally, we'd have a quote to start this description, but there were so many incredible statements uttered by our reluctant love guru, Greg Cote, that we're just going to list them below: "The word 'romance' begins with the letters 'R, E.' At the heart of the name 'Greg' are the letters 'R, E.'" "I'm gonna be coming strong." "Sex is too serious, let's have a little fun." "Sincerity is overrated in the boudoir." "Nobody finishes like me." Today's cast: Dan, Greg, Chris, Jeremy, and Tony. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Can the New Testament really be trusted? Was it written too late, copied too often, or shaped by biased authors? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver is joined by Dr. Benjamin Shaw, author of Trustworthy: 13 Arguments for the Reliability of the New Testament, to examine the historical evidence supporting the trustworthiness of the New Testament.This conversation explores:-Manuscript evidence and textual reliability-Early dating of the New Testament writings-Eyewitness testimony-Why skeptics treat the Bible differently from other ancient texts-External historical sources like Josephus and Tacitus -Whether the earliest Christians believed Jesus was God-Why the apostles were willing to suffer and die for their testimonyDr. Shaw, president of Core Apologetics and former research assistant to Dr. Gary Habermas, presents compelling arguments showing that the New Testament stands as the best-attested document of antiquity.
“Send Coach John a message”Came across the gem that I plan on actually using later today when I go out to run some errands. It comes from TeacherGoals (@teachergoals) The intro they shared is: “Love this!” - “When you see something beautiful in someone, tell them. It may take a second to say, but for them it could last a lifetime.” This is so spot on. I've been trying to say things to people when I come across something that I see about them. Good service. A smile. An act of kindness that I witness them doing. A compliment to share with them. Etc., it's all something that the world needs more of. I need to hold myself accountable to do this when I go out later today. Thanks for listening.

In this fascinating episode, Dr. Shaw put forth the notion that SINCERITY leads to greater fulfillment. On the surface that may seem like a leap, but as she discusses and illustrates how it works, and it comes together as a smart, interesting and very true theory. She begins by talking about the power of the word, and specifically, she talks about words of affirmation. For example, if words of affirmation are offered without sincerity, they won't have the power. The same thing goes for actions in addition to words... actions that should be sincere but are not will not be as fulfilling as actions offered and received with sincerity. As with all of Dr. Shaw's teaching and podcasts, listen and ponder, and watch the puzzle pieces of life fit together.
February 1, 2026. Fr. Tyler's homily for the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Enjoy! Gospel Matthew 5:1-12a When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven."
In this message from Gospel People, Paul opens his heart to the Corinthian church and shows us how deeply our relationships with others are shaped by our relationship with God. From integrity and sincerity to love and pastoral care, Paul's words remind us that gospel-centered living transforms how we speak, how we lead, and how we love. When our consciences are anchored in God's grace, our relationships can be marked by honesty, humility, and sacrificial care—even when things are hard.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

A sermon by Phil Shimer based on 2 Corinthians 1:12-22 preached on February 1 as part of our sermon series called "Glorious Weakness: Discovering Our Transformed Life In Christ."
Have you ever noticed how instinctively we assume being in the presence of God requires being put together first? Most of us feel it. Before we pray. Before we repent. Before we worship. Before we come to this Table of the Lord. We think we need to be ready, emotionally calm. We need to be strong. We need to be moral. We need to be worthy. But what makes a person worthy of God’s presence? Is it repentance? Sincerity? Performance? “Spiritual momentum”? Does grace require worthiness, or does grace create it? Can the presence of God ever be dangerous for God’s people? In the OT, the presence of God was powerful enough to bless, but holy enough to kill. People mishandled holy things and died for it. Priests trembled. So what happens when an unarmed, hungry, desperate, imperfect man, who lies to a priest and violates ceremonial law, walks right into the presence of God & eats holy bread that he has no right to eat? What does God do with him? Lightning? Correction? Judgment? In 1 Sam 21, David eats bread he shouldn’t & lives. If we’re paying attention, that moment is a preview of something far greater, it’s a preview of the Table set before us this morning. Because at the Lord’s Table, the same question stands: Who gets to feed on the presence of God? David’s story is going to answer that question for us and prepare us to answer it as we come to Jesus’ Table today.

Jesus reminds his friends we are all susceptible to hypocrisy. It's the kind of poison that corrupts our souls. It makes us callous to the compassion of Jesus, judgmental of those desperate for care and, and closes us off from love. Today we explore Jesus' sobering metaphor about a dirty cup and what it means to live a sincere life, to be people of integrity and honesty in a cultural moment dominated by confusion and falsehood.

A viral Instagram video claims that homosexuality was added to the Bible in 1946—and that before then, the prohibition didn't exist.In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W.

Being a Bob Dylan fan is a spectrum –whether you identify as a casual enjoyer if his music or a die-hard Bobcat, the umbrella is large and leaves room for multitudes. Over the past year, many Definitely Dylan episodes have circled around the relationship between artist and audience, how Bob Dylan presents himself and how he is perceived. In the final conversation of 2025 (which you're hearing in early 2026), we're approaching this topic from a new angle.My guest is Elizabeth Cantalamessa, an honest to god philosopher and one of the most fun people you can run into at a Bob Dylan show. We talk about Bob Dylan as the villain and trickster, selling out, and art as spiritual labour.You can download the C. Thi Nguyen essay “Trust and Sincerity in Art” here.Tiny correction:The “Is there anything more American than America” wasn't a Cadillac but a Chrysler commercial (watch it here). And btw, I'm burying this in the show notes because I'm not sure, but since we're mentioning Lucy Sante at some point in this episode, I wanted to add that in her preface to Six Sermons for Bob Dylan (the book of sermons she wrote for the Trouble No More film), she mentions that she wrote a “Buick commercial” for him. As far as I'm aware, Dylan has never done a Buick commercial, unless you count the song “From a Buick 6”, so I'm wondering if she was maybe referring to this Chrysler commercial.Bob Dylan and Santana - Toy Guns clipBob Dylan and Neil Young - “More of the same”Get your Definitely Dylan baseball cap here.You can support Definitely Dylan on Patreon or with a one-off donation at buymeacoffee.com/definitelydylan.Theme music by Robert Chaney
Joe Ahmad is a trial lawyer who's tried 100+ cases and built his entire approach around a simple premise: trials are a risk sport. If you need certainty, don't go to trial. In this conversation, Joe breaks down what separates persuasive advocates from “polished” advocates, and why the jury can sense the difference immediately. He shares specific stories (including a New Year's Eve mistrial decision he'd never repeat) and practical techniques for dealing with bad facts, corporate narratives, and the emotional game of the courtroom.
Sincerity, Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā, is the infallible way in which one can come to understand clearly who one is and who Kṛṣṇa is. He says it in the 10th Chapter of the Gītā: teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ yena mām upayānti te He said, if you're sincere and you try to understand me even in the simplest way, even if you're not taking advantage, Prabhupāda writes in the purport of a religious practice, if you're just sincerely eager to know who God is, then Kṛṣṇa says, "I will give you the information from within your heart. I'll show you the way." So the way we can overcome those other distractions is by sincerely asking to know the truth. It's infallible, and it's worked since the time immemorial. Any living entity, anywhere in any era or culture who asks the abyss, "Please reveal Yourself to me. Show me who I am. Show me who you are. Please reveal," then Kṛṣṇa says to that person: "dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ: I'll give intelligence." When one gets intelligence, one can defeat ignorance. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
Zazen is an act of sincerity by Ordinary Mind Zen School

PLEIN AIR PAINTING AND THE IMPRESSIONIST FOCUS ON THE PRESENT Colleague Sebastian Smee. The Impressionists revolutionized art by painting en plein air (outdoors), prioritizing the sincerity of what they saw in front of them over the carefully composed conventions of the studio. They sought to capture fleeting effects of light and color with directness. Berthe Morisot applied this "sincerity" to domestic and threshold spaces, using loose brushwork to convey the fragility and transience of life—a sensibility likely heightened by the recent political trauma. Interestingly, the Impressionists largely avoided painting the physical ruins of Paris, unlike conservative artists who used such imagery for political rhetoric. Instead, they engaged in a form of psychological repression or optimistic looking-forward, choosing to depict the beauty of contemporary life and the resilience of the present moment rather than dwelling on the destruction of the past.

Hollywood has forgotten how to make a Christmas movie because they have forgotten how to be sincere. We have traded classics like Home Alone and Elf for "Content Slop" and ironic snark. In this episode, we break down why the holiday blockbuster is dead, why Red One bombed, and why the "Netflix Look" is ruining cinema. But while we are walking away from the theater, we are walking back to the sanctuary. New data reveals a massive, historic shift: Gen Z men are now attending church at higher rates than women. Camellia Peterson (AFP-MO) joins the show to discuss this "Silent Night Revival" and why young men are rejecting modern chaos to find order, tradition, and meaning in the pews. Plus, the "Holiday Hall of Shame" is open for business. From homeowners fighting porch pirates with "Skunk Water" to the woman suing her coworker over a bag of dog food—we cover the absolute chaos of Christmas 2025. Today's Show:

This episode studies Philippians 1:9–11, where Paul prays for believers to grow in divine love, knowledge, and discernment so they can live sincerely and bear the fruits of righteousness. The lesson explains how love and a transparent life enable good works, uses practical illustrations (faucets, pottery, pruning), and emphasizes dependence on Christ, spiritual growth through Scripture, and God's pruning to produce lasting fruit for God's glory.

Sean and Amanda begin the show by discussing the imminent sale of Warner Brothers Discovery, consider the potential implications of a merger with one of Paramount, Comcast, or Netflix, and debate which scenario is the most likely outcome (1:22). Then, they cover the new Colleen Hoover adaptation ‘Regretting You' starring Allison Williams and Dave Franco, which they found absolutely baffling (17:28). Next, they have an extensive conversation around Joachim Trier's ‘Sentimental Value,' starring Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgard, where they explore why some people are connecting to the film so strongly, while for others it doesn't seem to resonate (47:15). Finally, Trier joins the show to explain how much of himself is actually mapped onto Skarsgard's character, how being a good listener and observant of the world around you translates to strong characterization, and the story of shooting in a house that was down the street he grew up on (1:33:54).

Today's sermon explored the biblical view of work, challenging the common divide between “sacred” and “secular” vocations. Drawing from Ephesians 6:4-10 and various biblical examples, we saw that God's Spirit fills people in all kinds of jobs—gardeners, politicians, construction workers—not just pastors or missionaries. The message emphasized that our daily work is a mission field, and how we work matters deeply to God. We are called to work sincerely, not just for eye service or to please people, but as if we are serving Jesus Himself. Both employees and employers are to model Christlike character: employees with integrity and diligence, employers with humility and fairness. Ultimately, our work is an act of worship, and we will give an account to our true Master, Jesus.
In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Day 103 from the "Gate of Remembrance" in the Orchos Tzaddikim, emphasizing how servants of a king perform tasks with utmost speed, focus, and dedication—turning off distractions and channeling all their energy into fulfilling the king's needs. He draws parallels to serving Hashem, urging listeners to approach mitzvot with the same intensity: expressing gratitude meticulously, performing actions with grace and diligence, and investing in the highest quality items, like the finest menorah or mezuzah, as a true expression of love for God. Using the analogy of carefully selecting flowers for a spouse rather than grabbing anything haphazardly, Rabbi Wolbe stresses that mitzvot are not mere obligations but profound demonstrations of devotion, done lovingly and wholeheartedly without shortcuts or indifference.He categorizes mitzvot into three aspects: those of the heart, performed purely for Hashem without ulterior motives; those involving the entire body, such as physically engaging in prayer (Shuckling) or shopping for Shabbos to immerse oneself fully; and physical actions like shaking the lulav or sitting in a sukkah, which still require intentional focus beforehand. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the Talmudic teaching to expend up to a third of one's resources on perfecting a mitzvah, promising divine rewards far exceeding the investment when done sincerely. He warns against performing mitzvot for social recognition or personal gain, insisting all deeds be dedicated solely to Hashem's name.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 13, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

He warns against performing mitzvot for social recognition or personal gain, insisting all deeds be dedicated solely to Hashem's name.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 13, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

Sincerity, Transience, and the Domestic Focus of Berthe Morisot's Art. Sebastian Smee discusses how the Impressionists' defining characteristic was plein air painting—painting outside directly in front of the subject. Berthe Morisot was highly innovative, concentrating on women at home doing ordinary, domestic activities. Her work was quick, often using only a few brushstrokes, conveying the impression of a moment glimpsed. Morisot was one of the most radical Impressionists in her style, frequently leaving large parts of the canvas bare to emphasize the feeling of something "quickly caught as if on the fly." Smee identifies her as a "real poet" of fugitive effects and threshold states, often painting adolescent girls at the "cusp of adulthood." Her acute awareness of life's transience and fragility was evident in her style.

Read Online“There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops.” Luke 12:2–3Immediately prior to this passage quoted above, Jesus told His disciples: “Beware of the leaven—that is, the hypocrisy—of the Pharisees.” This comes after Jesus gives a long and very direct series of condemnations of these leaders in the previous chapter. Jesus is quite serious about their destructive actions. So, after directly confronting them, He then turns to His disciples to warn them of the consequences of these hypocritical leaders.A hypocrite is one who pretends to have some moral virtues but, in truth, is only deceiving himself and attempting to deceive others. For that reason, Jesus assists His disciples by sharing with them the fact that all truth will eventually come to light. Thus, every good deed will eventually be seen by all for its goodness, and every evil intent, no matter how hidden, will eventually come to light. Though the immediate temptation for many in hearing this passage will be to think about others who they think fall into the sin of hypocrisy, it may be far more useful to ponder these truths for oneself. The simple message that Jesus preaches is that we must be people who are truthful in every way. We must be honest with ourselves and make sure that we are fully aware of our inner life, seeing ourselves only in the way that God sees us. This act of honesty and integrity is one of the best ways by which we prepare ourselves for eternal life. How sad it would be if we went through life pretending, on the surface, to be something we were not, only to have the full truth divulged at our final judgment when it is too late to change.Being honest with ourselves can be difficult. It's normal for us to want to be good, to want to be holy, and to want others to think this way about us. For that reason, it is very common for us to put forth only the best image of ourselves, hiding many other things that may embarrass us and even humiliate us. And though we do not have any moral obligation to tell everyone about every sin we struggle with interiorly, it is morally essential that we face it ourselves and do so with the grace of God.One practical way to do this is to ponder the above Scripture passage. Jesus makes it clear that at some time, in some way, everything within us in our hearts and minds will come to light. For some this will happen, by God's grace, during this life as a way for them to change. For others, these secrets will only come to light at their final judgment. The truth, however, is that all that we are, all that we think, and all that we do in a hidden way will come to light. And if that frightens you in some way, that is good. Sometimes we need a holy fear to encourage us to look inward and to deal with all that we keep hidden from others. Reflect, today, upon the importance of striving for a life of true transparency and integrity. The best way to do this is to live every day as if everything within your heart were visible for all to see. If that means you need to change in some way so as to be at peace with what will eventually come to light, then work diligently on making that change here and now. The opposite of hypocrisy, for which the Pharisees were firmly condemned, is honesty and sincerity. Spend time reflecting upon these beautiful virtues and pray that the Lord will gift you with them so that you can live a life of true integrity here and now in preparation for that glorious day of judgment, when all will be “known” and “proclaimed on the housetops.” My revealing Lord, You see all things. You know my heart in every way. Please grace me with the ability to see myself as You see me and to know my inner heart as You know me. As the deepest truths of who I am come to light for me to see, I pray that I will also have the grace to sincerely change so that I may truly glorify You with my actions and become a source of authentic inspiration to all.
