This week we break down the massive leadership shakeup at Xbox, including Phil Spencer's reported retirement, Sarah Bond's resignation, and Microsoft's decision to appoint Asha Sharma as the new Head of Xbox. What does this mean for the future of Xbox consoles, the multi-platform strategy, and the brand's long-term direction? We also dive into the reporting surrounding internal reactions to the “Xbox Anywhere” push, the shift back toward core console players, and what Asha Sharma's AI-focused background could signal for the future of gaming. Is Xbox returning to its roots — or entering a new era entirely? On the PlayStation side, we discuss Sony Interactive Entertainment's decision to close Bluepoint Games, the studio behind the Demon's Souls remake. We break down Herman Hulst's justification, the broader industry challenges Sony cited, and what this means for PlayStation Studios moving forward. Finally, we talk about the confirmed release date for Marvel's Wolverine and how it fits into PlayStation's roadmap for 2026. What do you think — is Xbox stabilizing or struggling? Did Sony make the right call with Bluepoint? Let us know below.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A quiet chair facing the sunrise changed the way we see the battle that surrounds us. In the soft light before daybreak, we talk about the power of beauty to steady the heart, the reality of spiritual warfare hiding beneath cultural noise, and why so many young men feel numb, angry, or lost. From there we chart a clear path: awe that awakens desire, prayer that clears the signal, and mercy that rebuilds what sin tried to destroy.We name the targets of our time with open eyes: the human person, marriage, and the child. We explain how early exposure to confusion, porn, and corrosive ideologies fractures identity and fuels anxiety and depression. Yet the story doesn't end in despair. We turn to Sister Faustina and the Divine Mercy image—two rays, one invitation—to trust Jesus in a way that is anything but passive. Mercy is not a loophole; it is the strength to rise again, to pass through the narrow gate, and to become fully alive.Download the Claymore Battle Plan! If this resonates, subscribe, share the show with a friend who needs hope, and leave a short review so others can find it.

Brian From talks with Jon Jorgenson, associate pastor of Soul City Church, about his unexpected journey from acting and musical theater to pastoral ministry. Jon shares how authentic community, discipleship, and a hunger for God’s presence shaped both his calling and the culture of Soul City in Chicago’s West Loop. Together they reflect on what God is doing in the city today—highlighting a growing desire not for celebrity Christianity, but for real encounter and transformed lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Da glaubt man könne “nur” über eine wirklich gute State of Play von Sony sprechen und dann knallen da plötzlich die Neuigkeiten aus dem Himmel. Aber alles von vorne. Bevor wir über die News sprechen, am Mikrofon der 205. Episode sind Maurice, Olu und Chris für euch, berichten wir von unseren zuletzt gespielten Spiele! Dragon's Dogma 2 Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead God of War: Sons of Sparta Nioh 3 ??? – Ranking (da müsst ihr schon einschalten) Los geht’s mit einem Bericht aus einer koreanischen Wirtschaftszeitung. Nexon soll angeblich an einem StarCraft-Shooter arbeiten. Fans der Marke dürften sich freuen?! Aufgrund der aktuellen Hardwarepreise dürfte sich der Release der PlayStation 6 auf 2028 oder 2029 verschieben, das wird vermutet und auch die Nintendo Switch 2 könnte im Preis steigen. Das die Künstliche Intelligenz in den vergangenen Jahren unglaubliche Fortschritte gemacht hat, wissen wir. Manche davon sind definitiv gut, jedoch ist die Schattenseite enorm groß. Manipulierte Videoclips, KI generierte Musik die die Charts bei Streaminganbietern erobert uvm. Die Unity-Engine soll im März mit dem Zusatz “Unity AI” auf der Game Developer Conference in Form einer Beta vorgestellt werden. So soll es damit möglich sein, ohne Programmierkenntnisse Casual-Games zu entwickeln. The Elders Scrolls VI setzt auf die 3. Version der hauseigenen Creation Engine von Bethesda und ob das so gut ist … weiß ich nicht. Gut ist auf jeden Fall nicht, dass wieder Stellen bei Ubisoft gestrichen werden. Was ebenso hohe negative Wellen geschlagen hat – Sony schließt Bluepoint Games. Die Könige hinter diversen großartigen Remakes wie z. B. Shadow of the Colossus oder zuletzt Demon’s Souls. Mir fiel echt die Kinnlade runter und die Meinung von Olu und Maurice dazu hört Ihr in der Folge. Ein Erdbeben gab’s auch bei Microsoft! Phil Spencer und Sarah Bond sind raus! Überspitzt gesagt übernimmt nun die KI! Absolut wilde Woche und wir hoffen euch hat die Folge wie immer gut gefallen. Lasst gerne ein Like da, abonniert den Podcast.

What happens when obedience to God feels risky? In this episode, we explore the tension between love and fear — especially when someone we care about senses a calling that could cost them comfort, security, or even safety. It’s one thing to say we trust God. It’s another to release someone we love into His hands. Looking at Paul’s final encouragement to Timothy, written from a prison cell under Emperor Nero’s brutal reign, we see something remarkable: Paul doesn’t urge caution. He doesn’t prioritize survival. Instead, he tells Timothy to fan into flame the very gift that could invite persecution. So what gave Paul that kind of courage? And how do we cultivate it today? What We Discuss The internal conflict between protection and obedience Why fear often disguises itself as wisdom Paul’s deep relationship with Timothy — and his even deeper trust in Christ The historical reality of persecution under Nero What it means to “fan into flame” your spiritual gifts How eternal perspective fuels present-day courage Why intimacy with Christ produces boldness instead of timidity This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. - 2 Timothy 1:5-7, NIV Years ago, my extended family experienced a period of panic after my younger brother told us that he was praying about trying to get a job in North Korea so that he could share the gospel. I don’t remember if the country was open to this at the time, but he hoped to teach English and use his role to build relationships that could allow for spiritual conversations. My mind immediately flooded with thoughts of him in a North Korean prison, tortured for his faith–if not executed. I wanted to tell him all the reasons this was a terrible idea. By God’s grace, however, I stayed silent, knowing the greater danger was in encouraging him to deny God’s voice and choose self-protection over obedience. To our relief, he ultimately sensed the Lord leading him in a different direction. But that season really challenged me to investigate the depths of my belief, trust in Christ, and commitment to His mission. I wonder if Paul, the first-century church planter who wrote the book from which today’s passage came, ever wrestled with this inner conflict. He cared for Timothy, his mentee, deeply, and appeared to be closer to this young man than anyone else with whom he worshiped or served. He even referred to him as his “true child in the faith” (1 Timothy 1:2, NASB). Therefore, there must have been a part of him, perhaps a large part, that wanted to keep Timothy safe. Keep in mind, this was during the time of Nero, one of the cruelest emperors in Roman history, responsible for the horrific death of numerous Christians. Paul understood persecution. He’d been stoned, flogged, beaten with rods, and imprisoned on numerous occasions. He’d also lost relationships with many people he’d once held dear. Plus, he wrote from a dark, damp prison cell, also known as a dungeon, awaiting a likely execution. Considering all that, reflect on Paul’s words in verse 6 again: “For this reason–” pointing back to his sincere faith, his rock-solid foundation in Christ. “For this reason,” he wrote, “I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands” (2 Timothy 1:6, NIV). Had I been Paul, I suspect my letter to Timothy would’ve looked quite different, likely filled with all the ways he could survive the evil invading the ancient world. Perhaps, had he come to me as my brother had, I would’ve remained silent (as I did regarding North Korea), but I’m not sure I would’ve had the courage and strength to tell him to actively feed the very thing that could, and more likely than not would, result in death. (According to tradition, he was in fact martyred in 80 AD, presumably fifteen years after Paul’s execution. Intersecting Life & Faith: Reading Paul’s possible last words to his beloved friend and spiritual son, and reflecting on my typical reactions when those I love suffer, I’m left with an important question: What enabled Paul to respond to their intensely hostile circumstances with such faith? We discover the answer when we read his other letters. He maintained a close relationship with Christ and experienced such fulfillment from that relationship that he was able to say, “For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21, NIV). His ongoing connection with the Lord and his practice of praying constantly also provided clarity and guidance for His most difficult circumstances and positioned him to receive God’s comfort. In his letter to the Philippians, he emphasized maintaining an eternal perspective, which extends beyond living missionally. This also means reading about and reflecting on all that awaits us in heaven. According to Hebrews 12:2, that was also what sustained Christ through His horrific death and all the brutality He experienced preceding it. That verse tells us to fix, as in fasten unwaveringly, our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him. This tells me, the more I reflect on all the blessings I have in Christ and through Christ, today and through eternity, the greater my faith and strength to endure today’s challenges and the easier it becomes to encourage those I love to prioritize obedience to Him above all, even if that means losing all. Thankfully, I’m not alone in my pursuit. Jesus, the One who died that I might live throughout eternity with Him, will grow my faith, decrease my anxiety and fear, and help me to be a source of inspiration, not hindrance, to those I care about most. He will do the same for you–if you’ll let Him.

Matthew - The King has Come "Souls In Danger" (Matthew 12:33-42) In this episode of the McGregor Podcast, Russell Howard explores Matthew 12:33-42, focusing on the dangers facing souls that resist Christ's call. He unpacks Jesus' warnings to the scribes and Pharisees, addressing topics like the unpardonable sin, the importance of our words, and the significance of the sign of Jonah. Listeners are challenged to reflect on their speech, desires, and witness, and are reminded of the hope found in repentance and faith. Sermon Notes February 22, 2026 Russell Howard • Lead Pastor   Presented by McGregor Podcast 2026 Visit Our Website at McGregorPodcast.com

In John 3, Nicodemus comes to Jesus at night — confident, credentialed, fluent in the language of signs and law. But Jesus won't be managed. “Very truly,” he says — and when Jesus speaks, reality happens. The kingdom of God is not something you climb into; it is something spoken into you. You must be born from above — born of water and Spirit. Not a spiritual achievement. Not a better decision. A birth. Luther calls this passive righteousness: the Spirit blows where it wills, and you cannot command it. What flesh produces is flesh. What God speaks becomes life. This is not advice. It is promise.LENT CHALLENGE GRANTDouble your impact this Lenten season: if you sponsor an episode of Scripture First, a generous donor has agreed to double your donation. We greatly appreciate your support of the show. Learn more at lutherhouseofstudy.org/donateCARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of Souls - AddictionGOSPEL John 3:1-171 Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. 2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God." 3 Jesus answered him, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above." 4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?" 5 Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born from above.' 8 The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." 9 Nicodemus said to him, "How can these things be?" 10 Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?11 "Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.17 "Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.Support the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate

Today Kris introduces the 'Mirror of Simple Souls', a work of Christian mysticism from the middle ages. Its author was Marguerite Porete - a French-speaking mystic and member of a Beguine religious community. Using the Christian language of the time, she outlined a path toward transcending Reason and unifying the Soul with God and Love. Here, Kris also shows how Porete's ideas are similar to the Buddhist path and have value to modern spiritual seekers of any faith.

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.     ACU Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless. --------------------------------------------------------

Another week, another day of industry changing news as Heads of XBOX Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond resign from Microsoft, were they ousted, what's the future of XBOX? In the bad news competition, Sony shutters Bluepoint Studios, makers of the Demon's Souls remake and Shadow of the Colossus remake.

In this week's episode of GameBurst, we cast a critical eye over a turbulent period for the gaming industry. The news is dominated by Sony's strategic pivot, as the company confirms a remastered trilogy of the original God of War titles alongside the surprise release of the 2D prequel, Sons of Sparta. However, this nostalgic revival is offset by the somber news of the closure of Bluepoint Games, the celebrated studio behind the Demon's Souls remake, marking another casualty in a string of recent internal restructures at Sony. The industry also pauses to mourn Hideki Sato, the visionary engineer who designed every Sega console from the SG-1000 to the Dreamcast, whose passing marks the end of an era for hardware innovation. Furthermore, we examine the looming threat of global component shortages that Valve warns could impact hardware availability and pricing throughout 2026. Our "Pick of the Week" segment features a diverse range of titles, from the high-octane racing of Grid Legends to the indie charm of Cast n Chill and The Rogue Prince of Persia. Finally, we dive into the mailbag to address listener questions regarding podcast analytics and the motivations behind independent gaming broadcasts.   YouTube Recommendations: The Tragedy Of Becoming Better by The Masked Man: https://youtu.be/FNAyjfDUX2o?si=Rb46TxDd3wxEXPrJ Mass Effect - Shaped By Stories: https://youtu.be/ghAXbX-F5K0?si=WxFVibwCOMD8DKS1

Tomás Bogardus joins to discuss his book "The Nature of the Sexes" and argues for a reproductive-functional account of biological sex. According to Bogardus, males and females are defined by the reproductive function their bodies are structured to perform: producing sperm or eggs. Even when that function is not realized and no sperm or eggs are produced, a person's sex remains the same, because it is grounded in biological organization. To defend this view, Bogardus considers intersex and DSD cases, critiques contextualist accounts that treat sex as domain-dependent, and argues for a unified meaning of “male” and “female.” The conversation later turns to whether sex is essential or changeable, as well as debates about pronouns, sports, and medical interventions for minors.[00:00] Introduction to the Debate on Sex[00:23] The Delivery Room Thought Experiment: "It's a Boy/Girl"[02:04] Sex as Reproductive Function[07:41 ]Gametes, Competitor Theories, and the Non-Producers Objection[11:29] Intersex & DSD Cases[19:23] Contextualism and Cluster Concepts: Sex in Sports, Bathrooms, Dating?[26:23] Conjunction Reduction & Animal Examples: Rooster vs Crocodile[30:24] One Unified Meaning of Sex Terms[32:06] Are ‘Man' and ‘Woman' Social Roles or Biological Sexes?[37:15] Is Sex Essential or Contingent?

Each time we close our eyes in sleep, we are reminded of our frailty and our need for the One who is the resurrection and the life.

We often spend our middle years mourning the "forever finished"—the relationships that vanished into silence and the longings we eventually buried just to survive the day. We fought to hang on until our hands grew tired, and then we let go, never expecting to see those fragments again. This message is a testimony to the Latter Year Surprises we would never have expected.​Drawing from the profound promise of Psalm 107:9, we explore how God is not just a witness to our hunger, but the One who "squares things up in the end" when the road is longest. Based on the enduring truth of 1 Corinthians 13, we believe that because Love "hopes and endures all things," nothing is truly lost in the economy of Heaven. God acknowledges the weight of those years and the specific "silence" of those losses carried.​If you are in a season of wondering if your deepest heart's desires have been forgotten, pull up a chair. We are here to talk about the God who is intensely interested in your longings and is faithful to "fill the hungry soul with goodness"—right when you thought the story was over. There is something deeply redemptive about the idea of God "squaring things up in the end"—not just as a matter of justice, but as a tender restoration of the heart's oldest longings.​"Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy."- James 5:11“It is a safe thing to trust Him to fulfill the desires which He creates."- Amy Wilsom Carmichael​#DivineRestoration #LatterYears #Psalm1079 #SoulLonging #FaithfulGod #JoanieStahlsFieldNotes

In today's Daily Fix:First-party PlayStation support studio Bluepoint Games has been shuttered by Sony. The studio most notably developed the remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls, both of which were well-received. They also assisted in several game collections such as the Metal Gear Solid HD collection, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, and others. Bluepoint was acquired by Sony in 2021 and assisted in the development of God of War Ragnarök. In other news, Bethesda director Todd Howard teased a return to "classic style" Bethesda in Elder Scrolls 6, and giving examples of exploration done in games like Fallout 3 and 4, Skyrim, and others. And finally, Kratos voice actor Christopher Judge has teased something God of War related for "late summer."

Hello Spirit Talkers

This episode I am reading from Lynne McGinnis's book 'Overcoming Adversity by Embracing the Higher Truths: One Woman's Journey to Spiritual Awakening'.Lynne McGinnis grew up feeling defective—bombarded by parental atheism, messages that there was "something wrong" with her, relentless bullying, and a deep-seated panic over death. She sought refuge in compulsive achievements, excelling as a top-ranked law student and later as an attorney. Yet, her prestigious career only masked her chronic anxiety, struggles with body image, and ingrained belief that she was worthless. In the early 1990's, at one particularly low point, spiritual nudges led Lynne to participate in a 12-Step recovery program and study the liberating doctrines of the New Thought movement.This path led her to confront the ultimate fear—death—by discovering the transformative truths of Near Death Experiences and reincarnation, compelling her to seek out the world's foremost authority, Dr. Michael Newton, Ph.D., for a Life Between Lives spiritual regression session.But Lynne learned the hard way that true spiritual awakening requires changing negative thought patterns and embracing not only unconditional love of others but also, unconditional love of oneself. Thus, she continued her relentless attempt to gain self-esteem by overachieving and seeking the approval of others. This ultimately drove her to a mental and emotional collapse - a true dark night of the soul. Only then was she ready to let go of the false messages she had been giving herself for so many years and embrace the Higher Truths.Follow Lynne into the spiritual realm during her life-changing Life Between Lives (LBL) sessions with Dr. Michael Newton (author of Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls) and one of his successors, Scott. Here, her Spirit Guide and Council unlock profound memories and universal insights:   Her Pre-Birth Planning: Confirmation of her soul purpose as a Teacher of Souls and her choice of a challenging family life to master the lesson of unconditional self-love.   Soul Connections: The identity of her own Soul Group.   The Universal View: A deep discourse on the "Watchers of the Planets," revealing why they intervened during the Cuban Missile Crisis and their current dilemma regarding the Earth's environmental crisis.   The Path Forward: The ultimate realization that her fear, rage, and competitive drive were merely distractions from her true lesson: unconditional self-love—a love already bestowed by her Creator.Overcoming Adversity by Embracing the Higher Truths is more than a memoir; it is a roadmap to self-acceptance and a powerful confirmation of the soul's enduring journey. Lynne shares how embracing the timeless truth—"We are Eternal Souls human experiences who our Creator loves unconditionally"—finally dissolved decades of fear, rage, and self-sabotage, leading her to hope, purpose, and Divine alignment.Read this book if you are ready to:   Heal from decades of negative self-talk and feeling "not good enough."   Understand the soul-level purpose behind your deepest struggles.   Find comfort in the existence of an unconditionally loving Higher Power.   Embrace your true, Eternal Self and step into your highest purpose.BioLynne. I was an attorney who was employed by a large organization for over 21 years. Due to self-imposed pressure and the pressure of meeting seemingly never-ending deadlines, over the years, I felt increasingly anxious and depressed.One day, I had a stress-related breakdown. To recover from the breakdown, I followed a three-step process where I focused on all aspects of myself: my body, my mind, and my soul. This process ultimately led to what I can only describe as a spiritual awakening. My life is now filled with joy and wonder.I now feel called to help those of you who are facing work stress challenges similar to my own. I'm not doing this as a paid consultant or to make money, but rather to share my knowledge.https://freeyourselffromburnout.com/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FYRN7CVS https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if Shabbat isn't just “not working”?  What if it's about healing and wholeness?  Learning to stop striving, because you're not a solo ox--there's a stronger ox connected to you! In Matthew 11–12, Yeshua doesn't just teach about rest--he is that rest, and challenges how the religious leaders understood it. “Come to me, all who are weary and broken, and you will find rest for your souls.” Check out our latest sermon from Rabbi David along with some glimpses of the real-time survey from our community about Shabbat!

Only then was she ready to let go of the false messages she had been giving herself for so many years and embrace the Higher Truths.Follow Lynne into the spiritual realm during her life-changing Life Between Lives (LBL) sessions with Dr. Michael Newton (author of Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls) and one of his successors, Scott. Here, her Spirit Guide and Council unlock profound memories and universal insights:   Her Pre-Birth Planning: Confirmation of her soul purpose as a Teacher of Souls and her choice of a challenging family life to master the lesson of unconditional self-love.   Soul Connections: The identity of her own Soul Group.   The Universal View: A deep discourse on the "Watchers of the Planets," revealing why they intervened during the Cuban Missile Crisis and their current dilemma regarding the Earth's environmental crisis.   The Path Forward: The ultimate realization that her fear, rage, and competitive drive were merely distractions from her true lesson: unconditional self-love—a love already bestowed by her Creator.Overcoming Adversity by Embracing the Higher Truths is more than a memoir; it is a roadmap to self-acceptance and a powerful confirmation of the soul's enduring journey. Lynne shares how embracing the timeless truth—"We are Eternal Souls human experiences who our Creator loves unconditionally"—finally dissolved decades of fear, rage, and self-sabotage, leading her to hope, purpose, and Divine alignment.Read this book if you are ready to:   Heal from decades of negative self-talk and feeling "not good enough."   Understand the soul-level purpose behind your deepest struggles.   Find comfort in the existence of an unconditionally loving Higher Power.   Embrace your true, Eternal Self and step into your highest purpose.BioLynne. I was an attorney who was employed by a large organization for over 21 years. Due to self-imposed pressure and the pressure of meeting seemingly never-ending deadlines, over the years, I felt increasingly anxious and depressed.One day, I had a stress-related breakdown. To recover from the breakdown, I followed a three-step process where I focused on all aspects of myself: my body, my mind, and my soul. This process ultimately led to what I can only describe as a spiritual awakening. My life is now filled with joy and wonder.I now feel called to help those of you who are facing work stress challenges similar to my own. I'm not doing this as a paid consultant or to make money, but rather to share my knowledge.https://freeyourselffromburnout.com/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FYRN7CVS https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this First Sunday in Lent, we follow Jesus into the wilderness where the Spirit leads him—not by accident, but on purpose—into confrontation with sin, death, and the devil. In this episode we wrestle with why God would lead his beloved Son into temptation, how Satan's ancient strategy is still to plant doubt in God's promise, and why Jesus answers not with clever arguments but with the steady certainty of the Word. Following the insight of Gerhard Forde that Christ goes ahead of us and not instead of us, we see that where we put God on trial, Jesus trusts God's promise—so that his victory becomes mercy for sinners like us.LENT CHALLENGE GRANTDouble your impact this Lenten season: if you sponsor an episode of Scripture First, a generous donor has agreed to double your donation. We greatly appreciate your support of the show.

" 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 saying to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.' " 7 Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' " 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; 9 and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me." 10 Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! for it is written, 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.' " 11 Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him. Support the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate

Stats drive scores, but stories stir souls." This philosophy, born in the radio booths of Singapore and driven by a transition from comfort to total disruption, has delivered over $2 billion in transformational impact for global executives.In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Chris Shambra sits down with Jay Kiew, a world-renowned keynote speaker, author, and change strategist who has navigated the halls of power at firms like Deloitte and TELUS. But this isn't a conversation about corporate efficiency or digital roadmaps. This is a deep dive into "Change Fluency"—the adaptive capacity to translate life's most difficult disruptions into our greatest opportunities.Jay shares his raw and inspiring journey as a half-blind cancer survivor who "lost it all" before finding his true calling. We explore how change isn't something that happens to you, but something that can happen through you when you move from a mindset of survival to one of co-creation and possibility10 Memorable Quotes:"Stats drive scores, but stories stir souls.""Change fluency is the individual's adaptive capacity to translate challenges into opportunities.""Our greatest innovation isn't what we create, but how we create together.""If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." "The goal isn't to control change but to sit in it with fluidity.""Transformation doesn't have to be scary or happen to you, but instead it can happen through you.""The language of change is the only language that will matter in an era of AI.""He held space for me when I couldn't hold space for myself.""Shift your focus from what is present to what is possible.""The world is going through a hard time, but you can write the playbook to get through it." 10 Key Takeaways:Defining Change Fluency: It is the "language of change" required as we head into the space of artificial intelligence.The Four Change Mindsets: Your reaction to disruption depends on whether you view change as a threat or opportunity, and whether you are proactive or stuck.Active Presence: True leadership requires leaning in to observe non-verbal cues and naming emotions rather than just being a passive observer.The Power of Co-Creation: Based on the concept of Ubuntu, the episode explores why working together yields superior, more sustainable results despite the time and emotional complexity involved.Strategic Foresight: To discover what is possible, leaders must combine scenario planning with "futurist thinking" to see threats and opportunities from different vantage points.Strategy as Sacrifice: Design thinking requires the courage to say "no" and cut off current business units or emotional attachments to focus on one North Star.The "What If?" Framework: Innovation begins with the ability to ask hypothetical questions that challenge current constraints, a skill Jay learned from his father during difficult times.Relational Gratitude: Jay highlights the importance of individuals like Brian Chang, who provide empathetic space during "dark moments" without being deflective.Sitting in the Tension: Change Fluency isn't about control, but the capacity to sit in complexity and uncertainty with fluidity.Human-Centric Innovation: Digital disruption is a people opportunity; leaders must bridge the gap by helping team members find personal attachment to their mission.About our Guest: Jay KiewFounder & CEO, Change FluentJay Kiew is a multifaceted entrepreneur, keynote speaker, author, and expert in organizational and behavioral change. With 15 years of experience in organizational transformation and innovation strategy, he has driven over $2 billion in transformational impact across hundreds of organizations and top executives. He is the author of Change Fluency: Nine Principles to Navigate Uncertainty and Drive Innovation, which serves as the framework for his global consulting and keynote engagements.Jay's perspective on resilience and change is deeply rooted in his personal journey as a half-blind cancer survivor; diagnosed with retinoblastoma as an infant, he underwent the removal of his left eye. After immigrating to Canada from Asia and growing up in Vancouver, he became the world's youngest Distinguished Toastmaster at the age of 19. Today, he is a father of two daughters and lives in Brooklyn with his Shiba Inu, Brooklyn. Jay is renowned for his ability to help leaders move from a mindset of certainty to one of curiosity, teaching them to "speak the language of change" in an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

When President Trump shared a racist video on his Truth Social account last week, the blowback was real. But the video is also part of a tradition that has existed in the U.S. since the early 1800s — of using "humor" to spread and crystallize racist ideals. On this episode, we speak with Raul Perez, the author of "The Souls of White Jokes: How Racist Humor Fuels White Supremacy," who tells us how making fun of Black people was crucial to constructing "whiteness" — and perpetuating white supremacy — in the early days of the U.S.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

What if everything you've been told about spirituality and mental health is wrong? In this powerful episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Anna Yusim—Clinical Assistant Professor at Yale Medical School, co-founder of the Yale Mental Health & Spirituality Program, and author of Fulfilled: How the Science of Spirituality Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life—reveals the biggest misconception about spirituality and why it's not about religion, “good vibes,” or blind belief…it's about science, psychology, and lived experience. Dr. Yusim explains how connection to a higher power can measurably improve mental and physical health, how to have authentic spiritual experiences without religion, and the two ways to manifest—including which one actually works (and which one most people get wrong). Dr. Yusim also breaks down: - How spirituality, meditation, and manifestation can change your physiology, mood, & nervous system - What it really means to raise your frequency & how to do it in real life - Unconscious reprogramming: what it is and how to use it to break old patterns - Why surrender opens the door to creative solutions - How to overcome victim mentality while balancing personal responsibility & external circumstances - Breaking intergenerational cycles of self-sabotage using family constellation therapy - How to tell when family conflict can be healed, and when boundaries are necessary - How to protect yourself from energy vampires Dr. Yusim also explores the mystical edges of psychology, and where science draws the line: - 3 types of intuition and 4 intuitive pathways for receiving extrasensory information - Similarities and differences between psychics and schizophrenia, and how information is received in each case - Whether telepathy is heightened intuition, if anyone can access it (& whether they should) - Where spiritual practices fit inside a Western psychiatric model - How she clinically distinguishes between healthy intuitive experiences & serious mental health conditions that require treatment We also discuss: - How after-death communication through psychic mediums can help people process grief (and when it becomes unhealthy) - Crown Reading vs Third Eye Reading - Whether everyone has spirit guides or guardian angels, and how to navigate conflicting messages - Dr. Yusim's personal journey with claircognizance and the psychic reading that shifted her life path - Karmic patterns and the soul's repeating lessons - How to tap into your Higher Self - 3 universal truths found across all spiritual and religious traditions - How psychedelics help process trauma from a psychiatric perspective - Why the Law of Attraction may not be working for you - Why some people can train themselves to hold their breath for extraordinary lengths of time This episode is the bread & butter of MBB, bridging psychiatry, spirituality, intuition, trauma, and healing, without bypassing science or mental health!
