In this episode of Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, host Stephanie Hansen speaks with Jordyn Stocks from Paragis Outfitters Bookstore about the impact of recent wildfires on the Ely community, the role of the bookstore in supporting local culture, and the hidden gems of Ely. They discuss the diverse offerings of the bookstore, including popular book recommendations and the importance of community support during challenging times.Visit Ely, Minnesota for fun things to do year-round! Whether you are looking for a place to stay, a delicious meal, a hiking trail, or an immersion experience, we have businesses ready to meet your needs.Stephanie Hansen (00:00.824)Hello, everybody, and welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, the podcast where we talk to people in the food space, but I also talk to other people too. And I've been doing a little mini-series here for VisitElyMN.com to help you get to know some of the cool Ely businesses. Ely is my second home. It is the place where I wrote the True North Cabin cookbook, and it's very near and dear to my heart. And you may have heard that theyHave experienced some wildfires in the Boundary Waters Canoe area and around that area this summer. As of this recording, I think the fires are about 40 to 50% contained. Some of the evacuation areas have been lifted. And the town has just really done a great job of keeping people informed and safe. And I'm here today with Jordan Stocks. She is from Piragis Outfitters.And she particularly runs the bookstore that opened gosh, it was last summer already, wasn't it, Jordyn?Jordyn Stocks (00:59.77)Yes, yeah. So in the new space, we've been there since last May, but the bookstore itself has been around in some version for over 20 years now. So it'sStephanie Hansen (01:11.286)So what happened is is there was in the Piragis store, there was the bookstore on the second level, and they used to have another building down the street that they did some surplus kind of sales, and they've merged a lot of that together inside this building. And then you guys have paddle boards and canoes also across the street. Piragis sort of owns this corner that has a lot of fun stuff going on in Ely andI know that with the boundary waters permits being canceled and just opening up more recently to daytime. And I imagine we'll get some more areas that'll open up here as the summer progresses. Has it been a hard time for you guys at the store?Jordyn Stocks (01:54.437)It's it's yeah, it's been a little bit different. It's been a little quieter as you can imagine, in outfitting particularly without having the boundary waters open. We've definitely seen some slowdown in traffic there.Stephanie Hansen (02:07.315)And when you think about the bookstore, yeah. WhatJordyn Stocks (02:11.732)Yeah, the bookstore and the store have maintained like we've still been busy. We've still seen traffic. you know, not as busy as it would normally be. Blueberry festival would have been this weekend, as you know. that didn't happen. But yeah, overall it's still been we're hanging in there. It's still been still been a good weekend, but yeah, quieter.Stephanie Hansen (02:35.286)It's a good example of how smart it is for businesses to kind of silo to. Like, you know, you start with one thing that maybe is your core competency, but then to support the business through non-trip times, you know, you've got the clothing store and then you add the bookstore, which is kind of a year-round service business for the town in and of itself. It's cool to have so many different facets. And I know you guys sell online too and have a pretty big online following.Jordyn Stocks (02:43.473)Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it it it does help that we have a few different things going on with the the clothing and the gifts and the gear and the books and the online presence. So that is that's been nice to have all of that going on. And we've definitely seen an uptick in in online sales and phone sales. So we're still shipping things out all over the country. We're still selling things to, you know, fire crews that are here, local folks that are out and about.People coming up for their cabins. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (03:37.612)What is your history with Paragas and how did you get started and land in the bookstore component?Jordyn Stocks (03:41.76)well I've been here. This is my third no 14th summer here. So I started out just kind of part-time evening shifts in the retail store. And then the bookstore manager at the time, she was she was moving on to I think she was going back home to Chicago or somewhere. So I was excited about the prospect of working with the books and here I am.Thirteen years later. Stephanie Hansen (04:13.856)And you are an Ely resident. Are there some features about Ely in particular or locations that you feel are like hidden gems?Jordyn Stocks (04:23.909)Yeah, so I was actually born and raised here. So I don't know, growing up I kind of kind of probably took a lot of it for granted, but now you know seeing it with fresh eyes, I guess through people who were coming here for the first time and you know coming here repeatedly year after year. one of one of my favorite things is the the Ely Witten Historical Society. They have this cute little museum in the Vermillion Community College.It's it's free, they just feel like goodwill donations, it's self guided. But there's a lot of really interesting historical things there. They have a lot of a lot of books that were written by local folks about history and like very specific history, like the Birdside River or Winton and the lumber industry. So that's pretty fun local history. I love the sedan mine. It's it's open now for underground tours again, which I'm excited to do this summer. I haven't goneYears. Yeah, we just went.Stephanie Hansen (05:19.384)I'm trying to think.I did go to the Sedan Underground mine tour. It's super cool. I think I went, gosh, probably when I first started coming to Ely. So maybe, you know, like gosh, 20 years ago, but it was so cool to be taken underground and through the mine system. And you went with a original miner. So they would talk about like what their day was like. That seems like a uniqueaspect of being in northeast Minnesota because mining was such a pillar of what was happening here at the time. And just like being underground and the constant temperature, that was one of the highlights of one of the things I've done in town.Jordyn Stocks (06:04.049)Yeah, yeah, it's a it's a very cool experience. I'd highly recommend doing that. but yeah, other than that, we've got a lot of great hiking trails, places to canoe and paddle and swim and do all those things. Berry picking. there's always something to do. We've got a great yeah, we've got a great you know, local art scene with the theater and art shows, we've got the movie theater.It's just a lot of fun stuff to do, always always something.Stephanie Hansen (06:38.12)Absolutely. And I know you guys for such a smallish town, your bookstore has like a big footprint. You guys have sold a ton of the True North Cabin cookbooks for me, so thank you. Also, the Moon Tav the Moon Tavern.Jordyn Stocks (06:49.271)Yeah. Yeah, of course. Thanks for coming and Yeah. Yeah, the the new one's been popular.Stephanie Hansen (06:58.964)And also Kurt's book, The Barrens, the Canoe Book has still done well too. So I wanna thank you for that. And I know you guys have a lot of artists that come through and authors that come through. When you're stocking the bookstore, like who would you say is your ideal customer that you're stocking for? Because you have like such a great romance section, a good kid section.Jordyn Stocks (07:21.126)Gosh, that that's a tough one. and it changes, I feel. a lot of people are just are looking for a book to take out on trip with them. Something something that's gonna like be engaging right away, something that's engrossing. they don't want a lot of heavy reading necessarily. But we've also got people who want, you know, the latest best sellers, the things they're seeing on on book talk or theYou know, Reese's book picks or all those things. but also a lot of people looking for local history, things about the area, just something to kind of you know put them in the mindset of being here in the woods. Yeah. A lot of lot of different customers, a lot of variety.Stephanie Hansen (08:07.916) I imagine maybe that changes as you get into the winter months too and it's more of the regular town folk versus the though you have a big visitors that come in the winter too, ‘cause we come and go snowmobiling, we cross country ski.Jordyn Stocks (08:19.792)Yeah. Yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah, there's definitely people coming all year round. It's it's of course, you know, a little a little more mellow in the winter, not as much foot traffic. But yeah, definitely a lot of locals will they'll special order things, you know, they heard about on the radio or they read about in the paper, or you know, they've gottheir favorite Minnesota authors having a new book come out and they want to pre-order that. So yeah.Stephanie Hansen (08:49.877)Yes. I love that. if you could pick three books that you think are kind of buzzy right now that you see that people are excited about, we'll we'll throw them out there because I think I'm always looking for new reads.Jordyn Stocks (09:05.333)Yeah, so people right now are looking for Theo of Golden. I'm blanking on the author's name, but they're also looking for the correspondent and Calamity Club. And then the newest William Kent Krueger book, which won't be out tillAugust, but you know, they're always looking for his latest. Stephanie Hansen (09:29.815)I think I'm the only one in the world that didn't love that Theo of Golden Book, but you know, everybody's got their own vibes.Jordyn Stocks (09:34.01)I haven't read it, but I've definitely that seems like a book that people are either loving or they're hating. There's no in-between on that, as far as I'm hearing.Stephanie Hansen (09:51.192)I feel like that's also what is the name of the book? And I bought it at your store about the social media influencer who gets dropped into the eighteen hundreds.Jordyn Stocks (10:00.429)Yesteryear. That one's been really popular too. Yeah, that's another love it or hate it one. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (10:02.347)Yes. Another book that I yes, like I totally hate read that book and read the whole thing and hated it, but kept going. It it was, you know how sometimes you don't love a book, but it's compelling enough to keep reading and sort of see what happens at the end.it's fascinating, I think, that that book got so much traction. But I don't know, like I I love the diversity of what you guys offer there. You have a ton of local too, like Abby Yaminez. I know you have a large section for her romance books. And romance is a big seller.Jordyn Stocks (10:36.246)We do. Yep. It is. We never used to carry much of it or like have much of a demand for it, but it's been like flying off the shelves lately. I I don't I don't know what it is, but and and that's not a genre that I typically read. So I I've been relying a lot on like s like coworker and customer recommendations, which has been fun. .Stephanie Hansen (11:09.793)It for your personal life, like you probably have to read a lot of books. Like how many books do you think you read in a month?Jordyn Stocks (11:17.462)And I I don't know. I also listen to a lot of books, but I don't know how many I read in a month. Probably like half a dozen, maybe. I don't I don't really know. I doStephanie Hansen (11:31.064)That's a lot. I listen to people talk about, you know, is listening to a book the same as reading or does it count? It's like who's keeping score number one? And yes, it counts. when you can think of a book that is narrated by someone that really makes it come alive, like I just listened to Whistler by Ann Patchett, which I don't know if I would have liked that book as much if she hadn't read it.Jordyn Stocks (11:58.966)Yeah, I totally get that. I I listen to more nonfiction, more memoirs and things, and I especially love when the author reads it. Like David Sederis will read his own, like Nick Offerman reads his own. They're both really great to listen to. And it's just I don't know, it it I think it brings a lot more to it in that circumstance. So but yeah. before we break here, I do want to mention that you guys have the catalog. And in the catalog are you have a lot of books in the catalog, a lot of the cookbooks, the seasonal books, there's also gear.Jordyn Stocks (13:16.393)We do. We do, yeah, and we have the website as well that's fully shoppable, the Boundary Waters catalog website. there's I mean certainly more than what was in the catalog, but not not as much as in the store. But there is quite a variety there and I'm I'm always happy to special order things too if someone's looking for something that they're not seeing in the store oron the website that's happy to look for things. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (13:43.949)That's good to know. That's good to know because I know there's been a lot of interest in supporting Ely in particular. I'm going to link there's a fund that's been established that the United Way of Northeastern Minnesota is putting together and there's three pillars that you can donate to. One is nonprofits, one is Ely specific small business, which I appreciate. And also there is an opportunity to donate to the Wildfire Fund. SoI will put that in the show notes. Anything you want people to know specifically about Ely before we break?Jordyn Stocks (14:15.351)Great.gosh. it's just it's just such a great place to to live and to visit. There's you know great people here. Just the way you know you've mentioned people have been showing up for one another and supporting people during this just weird, uncertain wildfire time. It's it's been really cool. It's just a great place to be. Lots, yeah.Stephanie Hansen (14:42.423)I think so too. We're lucky. And we're lucky to have you, Jordan, be such a good supporter of books and reading. And I appreciate everything Piragis has done for our books. And I'm looking forward to seeing you soon. I always pop in to sign books and I'll see you, I'm sure, in the next week.Jordyn Stocks (14:59.62)Yeah, sorry I missed you yesterday. Hopefully we'll see you soon. All right. Wonderful. You too. Absolutely. Thanks for having me. Bye.Stephanie Hansen (15:02.34)Yeah. you will, you will. It's good to see you again, Jordan, and thanks for being a guest. Okay, bye-bye.

Il n'est pas rare, sur le front ukrainien, d'entendre parler espagnol. Les Colombiens forment aujourd'hui le principal contingent de volontaires étrangers engagés aux côtés de l'armée ukrainienne. Ils seraient plus de 7 000 à s'être enrôlés depuis l'invasion russe à grande échelle, souvent attirés par des promesses de salaires élevés pour aider leurs familles restées au pays. Des familles rattrapées par la guerre et le deuil lorsqu'elles apprennent la mort de leur proche. S'ensuit un périple douloureux pour les mères, les épouses, les sœurs, jusqu'en Ukraine, nourries par l'espoir de retrouver un corps, ce qui ouvre aussi le droit à des indemnités. Sur le mémorial des héros de la place Maïdan, dans un océan jaune et bleu de drapeaux ukrainiens, se niche un espace dédié aux volontaires colombiens. Carmenza Guerrero s'agenouille, une dernière fois, devant le portrait de son fils, Efrain Enrique Mejia Guerrero, les traits juvéniles. Il avait 26 ans. De son téléphone serré contre son cœur, Carmenza fait jaillir quelques notes d'une musique que le garçon aimait tant. Le lendemain, elle repart en Colombie, seule. « Ne pas rentrer avec lui me déchire l'âme. Savoir que je dois partir sans rien pouvoir emporter de mon fils... Mon souhait le plus cher, c'était de pouvoir l'emmener avec moi pour lui offrir une sépulture digne », se lamente-t-elle. À Kiev, Carmenza a enchaîné les rendez-vous éprouvants avec les autorités militaires ukrainiennes. Huit mois ont passé depuis la disparition de son fils, mais personne n'a pu lui apporter de réponse : « Ils m'ont dit qu'il fallait que j'attende, parce qu'ils devaient d'abord faire l'enquête pour voir à quel endroit il était tombé. Soi-disant, ils me disaient qu'il était à Zaporijjia. Ensuite, ils m'ont dit qu'il était à Pokrovsk, puis qu'ils l'avaient déjà dans des congélateurs. » Infirmière à Bucaramanga, Carmenza s'est endettée, à hauteur de 4 000 euros, pour financer un périple en Ukraine, d'où elle repart le cœur lesté d'amertume. « La dernière fois que j'ai pu lui parler, c'était le 25 octobre. Il avait très froid. "C'est dur, ma petite maman. Je regrette d'être venu ici, ma petite maman", c'est ce qu'il m'a dit. De la chair à canon, c'est pour ça qu'il est venu en Ukraine, de la chair à canon », se désespère-t-elle. Un sacrifice inutile, c'est aussi le sentiment de Luz. Exténuée, tout juste arrivée d'un village du sud de la Colombie, elle a perdu sur le front ukrainien Juan Andres, le père de ses trois enfants. « Après un entraînement d'à peine 15 jours, il a été envoyé pour sa première mission. Alors qu'il pensait qu'il recevrait une formation de trois mois. Ce n'est pas juste », estime-t-elle. À Kiev, tout l'intimide. Pourtant, elle doit prendre son courage à deux mains pour faire reconnaître la mort de son époux, toujours porté disparu, et réclamer les indemnités promises à sa famille. « C'est pour les enfants que je suis ici, afin d'honorer une promesse de leur père. Avant de me dire adieu, il m'avait dit : "Tu vas devoir venir ici en Ukraine, il ne faut pas perdre ce qu'ils doivent me donner, c'est pour les enfants, c'est pour eux que je donne la vie." Il disait et il sentait qu'il ne reviendrait pas en Colombie et qu'il ne reverrait pas les enfants », raconte-t-elle. Dans le carré colombien du mémorial de Maïdan, Luz dépose une lettre de son fils au pied du portrait de Juan Andres : « ​​​​​​​Cher papa, j'espère que tout va bien en Ukraine. » Comme Carmenza et Luz, une dizaine de familles colombiennes font chaque mois le voyage jusqu'à Kiev.

You can have 10,000 followers and no community. An audience consumes — a community compounds — and the difference is structure, not size. This episode teaches The Community Shift: four moves that turn silent followers (yes, including your email list) into a community that keeps moving when you stop pushing. Covers Relational Compounding — the fourth SOI™ pillar — the network math that makes community the compounding structure (1,000 vs 499,500 connections), and the 90-9-1 rule.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes opens his April 2026 Mastermind talk with an update on the whirlwind first quarter of mission work through SOI, including trips to Guatemala, Fiji, and Honduras, before shifting into the idea of quiet reinvention. He explains how high-performing dentists often become trapped by the very habits that made them successful, especially hustle, grind, overproduction, and self-sacrifice.   Dr. Costes introduces the four seasons of a dental career: spring as the builder phase, summer as the growth phase, fall as the optimization phase, and winter as the reinvention phase. He challenges listeners to identify which season they are currently in and recognize when the behaviors that once created success are now causing burnout, resentment, or stagnation.

Most organizations do not fail at strategy because the strategy is wrong. They fail because the organization never learns to behave as if the strategy is real. That is the central argument Dr. Kyle Harkema makes in his book Strategic Clarity. He is the creator of the Strategic Orientation Index (SOI™), a diagnostic tool that functions like an organizational MRI, revealing the hidden misalignment between what an organization says it will do and how it actually behaves day to day. In this conversation with Michael D. Levitt of Breakfast Leadership Network, Dr. Harkema explains why strategic drift is rarely dramatic, what the SOI™ measures, and how the three-part framework of think, listen, and act exposes exactly where execution breaks down inside even well-run organizations. Key Topics Covered Why strategy fails quietly. Strategic failure begins with small, easy-to-dismiss signals: the same decision recycled through multiple meetings, departments generating friction, customers noting a decline in responsiveness, or competitors gaining ground one step at a time. Individually, none of those signals is a crisis. Collectively, they signal drift, and organizations that catch the pattern early are the ones that survive disruption. The Monday Morning Test. If employee behaviors have not changed by Monday morning following a Friday strategy rollout, you have produced a plan, not an executable strategy. Strategy must live in decisions and priorities, not slide decks and town hall speeches. The Strategic Orientation Index (SOI™). The SOI™ evaluates three dimensions: how an organization thinks, listens, and acts. Most organizations are strong in one or two areas and significantly weaker in the third. Dr. Harkema shares a case study of an innovation-focused company with excellent thinking and acting but almost no process for collecting customer insight before making product decisions. The diagnosis was not an innovation problem. It was a listening problem. The Ford Taurus lesson. When Ford abandoned the Taurus, then the number one selling car in the world, for the retro Ford 500 name, the sales collapse was predictable and preventable. The organization thought carefully and acted decisively. It did not listen. The Taurus name was eventually restored, but the market position never recovered. Listening is not a soft skill. It is a strategic competency. Notable Quotes: "If your employees' behaviors don't change on Monday morning for a strategy that you rolled out on Friday, you have a plan, not an executable strategy." - Dr. Kyle Harkema "Strategy lives in behavior. It has to." - Dr. Kyle Harkema "When organizations aren't living and breathing the strategic plan, it limits the impact they cause." - Michael D.

Join the Challenge ⁠⁠⁠and share with a friend! Our Summer Faith Challenge this week is to examine the way we think about our bodies and aging. 1 Samuel 16: 7b tells us that “... the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”  Summer is a time when it is easy to be fixated on how we look and be overly aware of our bodies. There are a lot of ads talking to us about being swimsuit-ready and wanting to maintain our youthful look. I was laughing to my sister-in-law this pastweekend that after my first son was born, I convinced my husband to let me buy my forever swimsuit. It was a little more expensive, but it was a one-piece with boy short legs, so that I could chase our future kids while not showing the whole world my assets. I didn't really swim again until our third son was born, because trying to keep all the toddlers from drowning felt impossible, but when I put on that suit, I couldn't believe how much my body had changed. In an effort to embrace this new size, I once again convinced my husband to let me buy my new “forever suit.” SoI could confidently go to the pool. But now, ironically, I'm somewhere between those two sizes. I tend to pendulum swing between pretending my body doesn't matter at all, and overanalyzing every shift that each year brings. What if our faith changed our focus? What if the way we see life allowed our soul to become more beautiful and our faith an anchor of security as we step out into the pool with our kids or grandkids this summer? Enjoy this episode with Jen aging with grace.

In this episode, Brian Icenhower breaks down the full online lead funnel for real estate agents, team leaders, and broker-owners — from the cheapest, lowest-converting social media leads all the way up to the highest-quality Google local service ad leads. Brian is joined by two coaching clients who share how they're putting this framework into practice, including a game-changing way they're using AI to personalize lead follow-up at scale. What You'll Learn: Why online leads should supplement your SOI — never replace it The 4 main categories of online leads and how they differ in quality, cost, and conversion rate Facebook/Instagram lead ads: why 1–2% conversion is actually doing well, and why these skew almost entirely buyer-heavy Google PPC leads: a step up in intent, but still conversion-heavy on follow-up Portal leads (Zillow, Realtor.com, Veterans United): referral fees up to 40%, but conversion rates of 12–20%+ — and why the follow-up call is more customer service than sales Why Veterans United is one of the fastest-growing lead sources ICT clients are using right now Why Google Business Profile is the most underutilized asset in real estate — and why AI search results lean heavily on it How YouTube content, Google reviews, and consistent profile updates directly impact your ranking in both Google and AI-generated results The 90+ pay-per-close referral platforms ICT coaches help clients register on in the first few sessions How two coaching clients are using Read AI + ChatGPT to build fully customized drip follow-up sequences from recorded lead conversations — in minutes Key Takeaways: Speed to lead is non-negotiable. Portal lead sources like Zillow and Veterans United require fast response — if you're not converting, you'll stop receiving leads. 75% of business from Facebook and Google PPC leads comes after 7+ follow-up attempts. Don't cherry-pick. Your Google Business Profile is not optional. Post to it like a social channel, stack it with reviews, and keep it updated — that's what AI is reading. A customized ChatGPT (paid version, real estate-trained) plus an AI note-taker like Read AI can automate personalized follow-up at a level most agents can't achieve manually. Online leads are growing year over year. Agents and leaders who learn to convert them now will have a massive advantage.     Book a FREE coaching call: http://CoachCallFree.com Enroll in our online courses: http://www.IcenhowerInstitute.com Sign up for coaching: http://www.IcenhowerCoaching.com Sign up for an Agent Management Portal: http://AgentManagementPortal.com Join the fastest growing Facebook Group for Top Producers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/REagentRoundTable

Ce troisième chapitre du Tripurarahasya pourrait ressembler à une histoire d'amour ordinaire, mais c'est tout autre chose qui se joue ici. Hemalekhâ, la jeune épouse du prince Hemacûda, est belle, douce et présente — et pourtant son esprit semble toujours ailleurs, indifférent aux plaisirs et aux étreintes. C'est cette indifférence mystérieuse, incompréhensible pour le prince épris, qui va devenir le point de départ d'un enseignement sur la nature du Soi.Bibliographie: "Tripurarahasaya ou la doctrine secrète de la déesse Tripura" traduit du sanskrit par Michel Hulin, éditions Fayard (https://www.patreon.com/posts/tripurarahasaya-159826481 )Musique: Bruno LégerNarration et réalisation: Bruno LégerProduction: Les mécènes du Vieux SagePuisse la lumière des Maîtres toucher un nombre infini de cœurs,Puissent tous les êtres, visibles et invisibles, proches et lointains, humains et non humains, être libérés et heureux.OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

What happens when advocacy turns into lived experience?In this powerful episode, Freedom Challenge Director Tracy Daugherty sits down with Teresa Vardilos and Jennifer Lemburg to reflect on their recent mission trip to Pattaya, Thailand, where they served alongside the Tamar Center, a long-standing ministry supporting women affected by sexual exploitation.Teresa and Jennifer share what it was like to move from knowing the statistics to standing face-to-face with the realities of human trafficking. Through stories of bar outreach, prayer walks on Soi 6, haircuts, gel nail classes, and deep relational ministry, they reveal how God meets people through consistency, compassion, and presence—not forced transformation.This conversation explores the emotional and spiritual weight of witnessing injustice, the importance of preparation and prayer, and how anger, grief, hope, and faith can coexist. It's a raw, honest look at what it means to say yes when God invites us into hard places—and how that yes can transform both the giver and the receiver.---Watch the interview: https://youtu.be/0U4TD2oVeoMRead the blog: www.thefreedomchallenge.com/blogposts/2026/3/18/trafficking-in-thailand---Want to learn more? The Freedom Challenge US: thefreedomchallenge.comOperation Mobilization USA: omusa.orgInstagram: @freedomchallengeusa / Facebook: @thefcusa

If your recruiting strategy relies on commission comparisons, you're competing in the wrong race. In this episode, Brian Icenhower breaks down the patient, coaching-based system that's helping broker/owners and team leaders recruit experienced agents consistently — without ever leading with a pitch.

A former broker/owner who managed brokerages of 400–500 agents, Brian now coaches team leaders, broker/owners, and top-producing agents on the systems and strategies that drive sustained growth.

Parmi toutes les questions que la philosophie a héritées de l'Inde ancienne, celle du Soi est peut-être la plus vertigineuse : non pas "qui suis-je ?" — interrogation psychologique —, mais "y a-t-il seulement quelqu'un qui se pose cette question ?" Deux des traditions les plus profondes de l'histoire des idées ont apporté à cette question des réponses diamétralement opposées, et pourtant d'une troublante parenté.Je vous propose dans ce modeste essai d'explorer la question du Soi selon l'advaita vedanta et son représentant principal, Shankaracarya, et selon le bouddhisme avec un de ses plus grand penseur, Nagarjuna. Même si cinq siècles les séparent, leurs pensées et analyses se répondent. Texte, musique, narration et réalisation: Bruno Léger Production: Les mécènes du Vieux Sage Que règnent la paix et l'amour parmi tous les êtres de l'univers.  OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

Que ferait-on sans nos amis à quatre pattes ? Depuis le Covid, le nombre de chiens par ménage a pris l'ascenseur. En Suisse, c'est Genève qui détient la palme avec 645 chiens au kilomètre carré. Mais le meilleur ami de l'homme ont un coût: en moyenne 1200 francs par animal et par année. Des chiffres qui placent la Suisse au quatrième rang des pays les plus dépensiers du monde en matière de toutous, après les États-Unis, le Royaume-Uni et la France. Pourquoi prend-on un chien ? Que va-t-il révéler de nos besoins, nos goûts, nos angoisses, nos passions et nos difficultés ? Des garderies pour canidés aux concours canins, des hôpitaux aux scènes de théâtre et jusqu'aux cimetières, les chiens promènent leurs humains par le bout du nez.

Todaywe are continuing to look at Philippians 1:12.Icould not help but think yesterday, as we were finishing up the chat on thisverse, about the story of the Good Samaritan. You know that story in Lukechapter 10, where a man—a lawyer—asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” TheLord had just spoken to him about the great commandment: “To love the Lordyour God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. Thenthe second commandment is of equal importance: to love your neighbor asyourself.” So the lawyer asked, “Who is my neighbor?” Then the Lord toldthe parable—the story of the Good Samaritan. Aman had gone down from Jerusalem to Jericho, to gamble or to pursue whateverworldly and ungodly desires drew him away from the holy city. He was going downto a place that was not good. Along the way, he was beaten by thieves, who tookeverything he had and left him on the side of the road half dead. You rememberhow a priest and a Levite came by, and in essence said, “What is mine is mine,and I am going to keep it. I am not going to share it with you.” But finally,this Good Samaritan came by, and he took what he had and helped the man. Youknow the story. Jesus said this man was the one who helped his neighbor. Jesuswas answering the question, “Who is my neighbor?” Here is the answer to thelawyer's question: Your neighbor is whoever is closest to you with a need. Nowthink about that—whoever is closest to you with a need. You may be thinking,“Everyone around me seems to have it all together.” But my friend, if thosearound you do not have Jesus Christ in their heart, they have the greatest needanyone could have in life. That is the need to know Jesus Christ, to hear thegospel, to be lifted out of a life of brokenness and sin and brought to asaving knowledge of Him. Yourneighbor is the closest person to you in need. Sometimes it might be the guardyou are chained to. He may be mistreating you, but he has needs in his life—andhe needs Jesus. My friend, I do not care what the circumstances may be or whereyou find yourself in life—who is the neighbor next door to you? I remember alady who had a neighbor next door, and they were constantly fighting overthings like who was mowing whose grass and other small matters. She finallywent to the preacher and said, “I just cannot take it anymore. I am trying tobe a good Christian. I have even tried to cut his grass, and it is just notworking out very well. I have used up all my Christianity praying for him. Icannot take anymore.” Myfriend, maybe you feel like that. But that may be the very opportunity God isgiving you to truly show the love of God to someone who is veryunlovable—someone who is very unkind. That person next to you, who may bedisplaying the worst attitudes, may actually be the one crying out for help theloudest. Weshould be like the Good Samaritan, who took that poor, broken man out of theditch, put him on his own donkey, took him to an inn, paid his bills, and said,“I will come back and pay the rest—just let me know what it costs.” That issomeone willing to give up time, resources, energy—whatever it takes—to helpthe person closest to them in need, even when they do not know them. But myfriend, you come to know them when you show them you care and tell them aboutJesus. SoI want to encourage you, be like the Good Samaritan. Look for the neighborclosest to you—anyone at work, at the grocery store, at the gas station,wherever it may be. In the most unlikely circumstances—even in prison—you mayfind that person who is waiting for you to tell them about Jesus. I trust that,as Paul said, this is happening for the furtherance of the gospel. And we needto understand that everything in our lives, God is using to guide our steps forthe furtherance of the gospel. May the Lord help us to be alert to that.

Todaywe are moving on to verse 8 of Philippians 1. The Apostle Paul has already toldthem in verse 7, “Inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense andconfirmation of the gospel, you are partakers with me of grace.” We havebeen talking about being partakers with him of grace. We are partners togetherin the grace of God as we serve the Lord Jesus Christ wherever we are. TheApostle Paul is in prison. He is in chains. So in verse 8, he goes on to say, “ForGod is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of JesusChrist.” Thisis powerful for us to understand because here the Apostle Paul says that hislove for them is not just human affection, but it is the affection of JesusChrist. In the original language of this passage, where he talks about“affection,” the word there comes from the idea of the bowels—deep within mybowels, deep within my inner being. There is a love that overflows for you. Whatlove is that? It is not human love. It is supernatural love. It is the love ofJesus Christ. When we become a follower of Jesus Christ and accept Him as ourLord and Savior, and we begin to deny self, take up the cross, and follow Him,something supernatural takes place. There is a love in our heart for others—Imean everyone around us. Nowsometimes it seems impossible to like certain people because of their attitudesand their actions. But no matter whether we can live peaceably with them or not, we are to lovethem. We are to have an affection for them. NowI have always pictured this as understanding that God Himself is love. “God islove” (1 John 4:8 &16). I am, by nature, selfish. I am looking out for me.But God is love. When I now have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ,I have available to me the reservoir of God's endless, limitless love. TheBible teaches us in Romans 5:1-8: “Therefore, having been justified byfaith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” So it allbegins with salvation and justification. Verse 2: “Through whom also we haveaccess by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of theglory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowingthat tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; andcharacter, hope. Now hope does not disappoint.” Nowhere it is: “Because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts bythe Holy Spirit who was given to us. For when we were still without strength,in due time Christ died for the ungodly” (v.5-6). Now Paul puts thistogether, I believe, helping us understand that as we go through trials—rememberPaul is in prison, he is in chains, he is going through a time ofsuffering—when we go through those difficult times, the tendency is to focus onourselves: our pain, our hurt, our suffering. But Paul says that when all thisreally happens, it should cause us to focus on God and His strength—His greatreservoir of love that is available to us. And the Holy Spirit supernaturallynow pours out that love. SoI picture it this way: I reach up into that reservoir of God's love, and I takeHis love—and whether I feel it or not—I give His love, His grace, His kindness,His gentleness, His affection, His compassion. I give it to the person whoneeds it closest to me. Who is my neighbor? It is the person closest to me whoneeds God and needs to experience His love. What kind of love is that? Here itis: “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8). Thatis how much He loved us. He gave His own Son. That is the love we nowgive—supernaturally. Not our love, but God's love to those around us. Thatis why Paul said, “I have God as my witness. That is the kind of loveand affection I have for you.” And that is the kind of love and affectionwe should have for those around us as we gather together—even with otherbelievers who are sometimes hard to love.

What happens when advocacy turns into lived experience?In this powerful episode, Freedom Challenge Director Tracy Daugherty sits down with Teresa Vardilos and Jennifer Lemburg to reflect on their recent mission trip to Pattaya, Thailand, where they served alongside the Tamar Center, a long-standing ministry supporting women affected by sexual exploitation.Teresa and Jennifer share what it was like to move from knowing the statistics to standing face-to-face with the realities of human trafficking. Through stories of bar outreach, prayer walks on Soi 6, haircuts, gel nail classes, and deep relational ministry, they reveal how God meets people through consistency, compassion, and presence—not forced transformation.This conversation explores the emotional and spiritual weight of witnessing injustice, the importance of preparation and prayer, and how anger, grief, hope, and faith can coexist. It's a raw, honest look at what it means to say yes when God invites us into hard places—and how that yes can transform both the giver and the receiver.---Watch the interview: https://youtu.be/0U4TD2oVeoMRead the blog: www.thefreedomchallenge.com/blogposts/2026/3/18/trafficking-in-thailand---Want to learn more? The Freedom Challenge US: thefreedomchallenge.comOperation Mobilization USA: omusa.orgInstagram: @freedomchallengeusa / Facebook: @thefcusaSupport the show

Now we are not only holding up the shield of faith, but we arealso taking the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. We have alreadysaid many things about this but today is especially important as we talk aboutthe Word of God and prayer—the Word of God and prayer. Youcannot separate the Word of God from prayer. If you are praying as you should,you will be reading the Word of God as you should. You will be in the Word, andthe Word will be living in you. If you are not in the Word, you will not bepraying as you should. There is another very important truth: you must pray infaith. So we have faith, the Word, and prayer. These three are interdependentupon each other. You will not continue to do what you ought to do in any one ofthem without the others. Ilove what Mark 11:22–24 says: “So Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Havefaith in God. For assuredly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, “Beremoved and be cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, butbelieves that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that youreceive them, and you will have them.'” They go together. If you want powerin prayer, pray the Word. If you want boldness in prayer, pray the promises ofGod. Iwant to encourage you—if you have never read it before—you can find it onAmazon: Faith's Checkbook by Charles Haddon Spurgeon. It is available as adaily one-minute devotional book. I encourage you to get it. I used it foryears, and I continue to use it. It contains 365 promises that you “cash in.”It is like a checkbook—you take that promise, make it yours, and pray it backto God. When you pray the promises of God, it gives you boldness. God has mademany promises. Pray those promises. Ifyou want clarity in prayer, pray the Scriptures. One of the best books I stilluse every day—and I have given it to hundreds of people—is The Power of Prayer,a little one-minute devotional by E. M. Bounds. It is like a catalyst. It islike priming the pump. You read it, and you are motivated and encouraged topray. Justyesterday's February 24th reading was based on Romans 12:12: “Rejoicing inhope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer.” Prayer andGod's promises are interdependent. The promises inspire and energize prayer,but prayer isolates and locates the promise, giving it realization andapplication. I love this illustration: The promise is like blessed rain fallingin full showers, but prayer is like the pipes that direct the rain—focusingthese promises until they become direct and personal, until they bless,refresh, and fertilize.Prayertakes hold of the promise and guides it to its marvelous end. It removes theobstacles and makes a highway for the promise to reach its gloriousfulfillment. Thereis always a little prayer at the end: “Dear Lord God, thank You for Yourpromises. Thank You that our earnest prayers can put Your promises to bless andrefresh in action. I praise Your name. Amen.” SoI want to encourage you today and understand that when you pray God's Word backto Him, you are praying according to His will. Because 1 John 5:14 says: “Andthis is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything accordingto His will, He hears us.” Oh, the precious promises, the Word of God, andprayer—this is the sword of the Spirit. My friend, it energizes. It carriesprayers to the place where they are needed in the lives of people. Menlike Andrew Murray wrote books such as, “With Christ in the School of Prayer”.Get hold of those books. Read them—but more importantly, pray as you read them.Listen to what God is saying to you. Be encouraged today to take up the shieldof faith, to hold up the sword of the Spirit, and to pray always. Godbless you, and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day.
