"I'm Not OK." Three words. Hard to admit. True words, for all of us at some point. During the season of Lent, we're exploring areas that easily tangle us up when we're not ok. Borrowing from what have been called the 'seven deadly sins'—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, and gluttony—this series reminds us that we can bring our brokenness to Jesus. We're invited to cooperate with God's Spirit for the transformation of our body, mind, and heart, so that we can walk in the freedom that only Jesus offers

Have you ever had someone call you “slothful?” Did you feel bad because you were feeling lazy? Sloth is one of the deadly sins, but it doesn’t mean what you think it does. Known by the Desert Fathers and Mothers as “acedia,” this sin is pervasive, and we’ve all experienced its power. In this powerful message, Pastor Scott Savage names a feeling we all know well, showing us the dangers of this sin and how we overcome it with God’s power.

Alright. Here's the deal. This episode, we're tearing into SE7EN. Not just talking about it—we're going full deep-dive into this bleak, messed-up world where every corner of the city feels like it's rotting. And yeah, it's all about the seven deadly sins—each one uglier than the last. They thought we were hunting a killer. What we got was a walking sermon with a body count. John Doe? He's not just twisted, he's deliberate. He thinks he's got the moral high ground, and the sickest part? He almost makes you think about it. We break down the murders, the message, the madness—and that ending? Yeah, that ending. We're not holding back. Spoilers? Absolutely. Moral ambiguity? You bet. David Fincher's direction? Dark as hell—and we dig it. So buckle up. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Lust. Pride. Envy. Wrath. We've got a lot to say about each. And if you're asking “What's in the box?”—you already know.

Maybe you’ve heard the phrase, “The Protestant work ethic.” What does that encompass? How does it tie into the Bible? Pastor Ken Jones stopped by and helped us understand the differences between sloth and diligence. https://learn.ligonier.org/articles/sloth-diligence Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wkesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, the host delves into the turmoil within the Hogan family, focusing on Brooke Hogan's publicly shared struggles with her parents, Hulk Hogan and Linda Hogan. Brooke reveals years of verbal, mental, and sometimes physical abuse, opting to make herself smaller in her career to avoid the associated negativity and choosing to disconnect from her parents for the sake of her own family and peace. This deep emotional conversation also touches on the broader context of familial dynamics and responsibilities. In the latter part, the host humorously speculates on Hulk Hogan's third marriage and the implications of his new relationship, while drawing contrasts with Brooke's current life and efforts to move forward.00:00 Dogs in Charge: A Humorous Start00:20 Brooke Hogan's Family Drama Unveiled01:00 Brooke's Public Response to Linda01:25 The Impact of Family Abuse02:25 Brooke's Struggles and Resilience04:13 Linda Hogan's Erratic Behavior05:32 Brooke's Decision to Cut Ties06:22 Brooke's Heartfelt Goodbye08:36 The Pain of Family Estrangement14:32 Brooke's New Life and Priorities24:12 Family Drama Unfolds24:48 Brooke Hogan's Struggles25:39 The Need for Mediation26:16 Brooke's Relationship Challenges28:25 Hulk Hogan's New Marriage30:11 Wedding Details and Speculations06:10 Humorous Commentary on Hogan's Life40:52 Concluding Thoughts and FarewellBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support.

At first glance, the sin of Sloth doesn't seem all that bad. Most of us who live hurried, busy lives could probably use a little more Sloth to help us slow down. But Sloth isn't just slowing down or being lazy. According to the scriptures, it's the combination of two sins that have plagued humanity from the beginning of time: avoidance and apathy. We give into the sin of Sloth when we choose to avoid difficult conversations, choices, or promptings from the Spirit, and we experience apathy as we slowly lose our love for God and for others. But by the grace of God, we can resist Sloth when we practice Patience. When we choose to endure hardship, engage in difficulties, and lean in to discomfort, we dig the roots of Sloth from our hearts and allow the Spirit to turn us into people marked by hopeful patience.

Follow Sam and Morgan, as we discuss one of our first-ever dark paranormal romances. We apologize if this episode is upside down, as we recorded this one late into the night. However, it does seem to go with the theme, as this book is very dark, aka dark romance.  Thank you to Kait, Montlake, and Netgalley for allowing us to review this book early for an honest review.   About The Novel: The seven deadly sins keep high profiles in the Big Lust runs brothels, Sloth's a media streamer…you get the picture. Pride, though, he's more mysterious. You might know him as Lucifer—temptation irresistibly embodied. The paparazzi are dying for some burning-hot gossip. So when someone publishes my scathing but private rant about him, they eat it up. And now my job is on the line. After all, he is my boss. With his vicious siblings vying for his power, Lucifer needs to distract the press, so he reframes my tirade as a lovers' spat, demanding I play the devil's fiancée. I need to be a good girl, smile for the cameras, nothing more. But cocky and cruel as he is, his darkness awakens something wicked in me. Sexy and in control, he might just be the cure—an extra dose of sin to heal me from a lifetime of shame and subservience. Wanna check out our socials? Then click here!

Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.” So he told them this parable:“There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.' So [the father] divided his property between them. A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living. When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many of my father's hired hands have bread enough to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands.” ' So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!' And they began to celebrate. “Now [the father's] elder son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. He called one of the slaves and asked what was going on. He replied, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.' Then [the elder son] became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and began to plead with him. But he answered his father, ‘Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!' Then the father said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.' ” Two Cross of Gracers, in two weeks' time, sent me two different social media posts about something that was entirely new to me – but that is apparently picking up steam and support in certain circles of Christianity. And since then – over just the last couple of weeks – various expressions of this same idea, this belief, this theological notion keep showing up in the world around me. Have you heard people talking lately about the proposition that “empathy is a sin?” Yeah. Empathy has been deemed a “sin” in some fundamentalist, “conservative Christian” circles of the faith. Empathy … which, according to most dictionaries means something like “the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person.” Empathy … the willingness to learn about and have compassion for the experiences of somebody else. Empathy … which sounds something like – oh, I don't know – loving your neighbor as yourself, perhaps?Again, in certain Christian circles, this thing called empathy is being warned about as an expression of sin.There are books. One is called The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and its Counterfeits and another is called Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion. One podcaster proposed that the very word “empathy” should be struck from the Christian vocabulary, because it's just too dangerous. And, be careful, ladies. The same guy who suggested that said that “women are especially vulnerable to this” whole empathy thing.Another theological pundit posted this recently, which seems to come from the same cesspool of corrupt theology:“Jesus is not a bleeding heart liberal. He did not ultimately save you out of pity for you. He saved you for his own glory. And he saved you from the infinite wrath He had against you for insulting His glory. This is the masculine theology of the Bible. Learn to love it.” Now, the Seven Deadly Sins aren't any more “scriptural” in that they aren't laid out explicitly as such, like the Ten Commandments, for example. But it's worth considering why, in the name of Jesus, anyone would add “Empathy” to a list that includes things like Pride, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath, Greed, Lust, and Envy. Does it seem like Empathy has anything in common with the evil and brokenness on that list?!From what I can tell, the logic/the rationale/ the theology behind all of this is a sort of self-serving, pop-psychology-inspired effort at “tough love.” It implies that being empathetic – having the capacity to share another person's feelings, experiences, or emotions – or taking the time and doing the work of trying to accomplish that to the degree that it inspires your ability to care about and love them … that all of that is an expression of brokenness in that it looks like weakness on your part and results in harm toward others because it may allow them to keep living in their own sinfulness.And this seems to be the case because, from what else I can tell, this way of thinking is being used very deliberately to dissuade Christian people from caring about or tending to the hurt and harm of those with whom they disagree; those they want to dislike; those that some factions of the faith are working really hard to disenfranchise. And it seems to me that, by calling Empathy a sin, they can do all of that dirty work in the name of Jesus.It's as if they're saying, “Close your eyes and stop your ears to the cries of the LGBTQ+ community because your empathy, your willingness to see them as people – as Children of God, created in God's image, just like you – only affirms, encourages, and perpetuates their capacity to sin.” It's as if they're saying, “Don't listen to the very real struggle, concerns, or need of that woman or girl who is considering an abortion, because you risk understanding her very real struggle, concern, or need, thereby facilitating her capacity to make a decision you should already disagree with.”It's like they're saying, “Don't listen to the stories and experiences of those sex workers. It might soften your heart and encourage their poor choices.”It's like they're saying, “Don't get to know the story behind those migrants who have crossed the border to save the lives of their children, as you might very well choose to do, if you were in their shoes; just keep pretending they're all gang members and drug dealers and psychopaths so that you can more easily despise, deport, and fear them with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.”It's like they're saying, “Don't dig too deeply into the stories of those people who are homeless or you might learn about the mental illness, addiction, loss of healthcare, neglect, abuse, bad luck and broken social networks that landed them on the streets and keeps them there.” This is a ruse. It's a lie. It's a trick. It is fake news that empathy is a sin.It's also a grand expression of cognitive dissonance for anyone who's ever heard today's parable. It's like their saying, don't pay any mind to what is probably the most popular, well-known story in all of Scripture that comes straight from the mouth of Jesus himself – this little ditty about the Prodigal Son – and, more importantly, the parables' prodigal dad… …this story where Dad had every right to offer some tough love to the punk ass kid who ran off with his inheritance, squandered it recklessly, and had the nerve to come back for more.…this story where a Dad – had he been worried about committing the so-called “sin of empathy” – would have sent his long-lost-son back to the wilderness of those pig pens to slop it up with the hogs until he learned his lesson, got his act together, groveled, apologized, and learned to live right.None of that is the story Jesus tells today, because it's not God's story. That is not God's way.Jesus tells the story where Dad – God, the Father – is overcome by empathy and compassion, lifts up his robes, runs to his child, embraces him because of his lostness – not in spite of it. Where he slaughters the fatted calf, throws a party, and then calls for some empathy from the other son who's too busy being mad and selfish and self-righteous to understand what it means to be really, truly lost in this world. That other son – the elder brother – the one who gets corrected, if not reprimanded – by the father, was like one of these 21st Century Theo-Bros who would have called his father's empathy a sad, sorry, sinful expression of something other than the faithfulness, mercy, and LOVE that it was.People, do not be fooled, deceived, or tricked into seeing empathy as a sin, or as a weakness, or as something God doesn't desire from each and every one of us. And please pay attention to and pray for the pastors, politicians, and people who proclaim otherwise.And if you need a touch point – a reminder – some encouragement about the Truth of the worldview Jesus' parable proclaims, please continue making your way to Calvary in the days to come.God, in Jesus, climbing onto the cross that we find there is the greatest sign, symbol, and source of empathy the world has ever known. It is The Way. It is God, in the person of Jesus, personifying the power and blessing of empathy by living, moving, breathing, and dying his way into the shoes of the world's people. It wasn't soft. It wasn't easy. And it wasn't a sin, for God's sake.It was faithfulness. It was virtue. It was grace. It was tough love turned inward so that the fullness of that cosmic mercy could be poured outward for the sake of all people … all people … all people. And, it was and remains to be THE calling and cause and claim upon any of us who want to faithfully follow Jesus, in this life, for the sake of the world.Amen

Jessie recalls her initial hesitation to illustrate the book, fearing criticism—until Sam encouraged her to take the leap. Their travels through Germany, the South Pacific, and Italy have shaped their storytelling, adding rich cultural depth to their work. Sam, a strong advocate for creativity in childhood development, reflects on how their book inspires imagination and determination in young minds, particularly in a world where technology can stifle curiosity.

Proverbs 6:9-11, 2 Thessalonians 3:10.

This episode is a recording of the lecture delivered on February 20th by Dr. R.J. Snell at the University Catholic Center of UT Austin. While the term acedia may be unfamiliar, the vice, usually translated as sloth, is all too common. Sloth is not mere laziness, however, but a disgust with reality, a loathing of our call to be friends with God, and a spiteful, bored hatred of place and life itself. As described by Josef Pieper, the slothful person does not “want to be as God wants him to be, and that ultimately means he does not wish to be what he really, fundamentally is.” Sloth is a hellish despair. Our own culture is deeply infected, choosing a destructive freedom rather than the good work for which God created us. But we can resist despair and can reconfigure our imaginations and practices in deep love of the life and work given by God. By feasting, keeping sabbath, and working well, we learn to see the world as enchanting, beautiful, and good—just as God sees it. R.J. Snell is Director of Academic Programs. Prior to his appointment at the Witherspoon Institute, he was for many years Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Philosophy Program at Eastern University and the Templeton Honors College, where he founded and directed the Agora Institute for Civic Virtue and the Common Good.

The Goonies is an important movie for folks of a certain generation, including the absolute madman who is this week's guest. You know him from Pitch Perfect 2, The Suicide Squad, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Silicon Valley and now he's here to talk about The Goonies, Richard Donner's coming-of-age adventure story produced by Steven Spielberg. We bounce around a lot in this episode, going from behind-the-scenes trivia to random Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions to a serious discussion about the authorship of this movie. We even have some great ideas for the poor bastards tasked with writing The Goonies 2 that may or may not involve casting Flula as the new Sloth who speaks only through his butthole. As always, if you dig the show and want to get extra bonus episodes how about heading over to our Patreon (www.patreon.com/TheSpielPodcast) and throwing us a few bucks?

Vices are our disordered way of fulfilling our God-given good desires.    Summary So many of us thought we were good people till we had kids, right?  This is because kids expose our weaknesses and we need to be aware of them in order to overcome them.  Listen in as we reveal Satan's plan for you and lay out God's great plan of using our rightly ordered desires to develop virtues and live according to His plan.   The desires that God has put in our hearts for dignity, communion, justice, and peace are all good, but when we try to fulfill them on our own, they can lead to vice, or repeated bad habits.  We do this because we are all fallen, wounded people!  But the good news is that we just need to tap into learning how to satisfy those desires in the best way, which is what God intended for us.  This is a snapshot from our video series we are doing for our Cana90 Fellowship this year.  In that series, each vice gets its own video where we break it down and show how we as parents are particularly susceptible to falling into it.  Join the Fellowship here for the rest of the series!    Key Takeaways Vices are our disordered desires.  Every vice has a longing or desire behind it and a corresponding virtue to help overcome it.  Parents struggle with vices in particular ways that may not have been evident before they had kids.   Envy is the longing for Dignity and it comes from the fear that we will not be seen, known, and acknowledged.  We get this from our Heavenly Father!  Sloth is the longing for Peace and it causes us to choose a “fake peace” that comes from ignoring problems instead of working through them.    Couple Discussion Questions Where do I struggle to act?  What situations would I rather ignore than deal with? Write down some ideas.  Try them each day one at a time.  What is one thing I can do to make this room/situation/gathering better? How can I be proactive?  Think of when someone else was kind to you.  How did it make you feel?  List 25 things you can do to make the lives of others around you more pleasant   References Bishop Barron's series on the Seven Deadly Sins https://www.wofdigital.org/seven-deadly-sins-seven-lively-virtues Broken Gods by Dr. Gregory Popcak https://amazon.com/dp/B00N6PETQ2?ref=KC_GS_GB_US Cana90 Fellowship  https://messyfamilyproject.org/programs/cana90/

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org
