Worry has a way of sneaking in and taking over, but Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us of something worry can’t compete with: a God who is able—able to do exceedingly, abundantly above anything we ask, imagine, or fear. When anxiety rises, God invites us to remember His power, His faithfulness, and His perfect track record. From parting seas to opening parking spaces to carrying us through life-changing moments, He proves again and again that nothing is too big or too small for His care. Highlights God interrupts our worry with reminders of His presence and power. Scripture anchors us when our minds want to spiral into fear. God cares for both the “small things” and the monumental moments of our lives. Nothing can thwart God’s plans—His purpose always prevails. We worry because our vision is limited, but God sees the whole story. Remembering past faithfulness strengthens our confidence in present battles. Jesus stands ready to answer the “door” when worry comes knocking. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Goring Bible Reading: “ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” - Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV “Why are you worried?” God interrupted my thoughts with this question to ponder before I could start a downward spiral in my mind. He then put the lyrics to a song I hadn’t heard in years into my head. The song “He’s Able” by Deitrick Haddon ministered to my spirit and lifted my thoughts heavenward. It was through the message of this song and reading Bible verses that support it that God breathed new life into me and reminded me that He is still in control. He let me know I can always take my concerns to Him. The Bible says we are to “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT). But how often do we keep our worries in our grasp and push God away? Perhaps we think that ruminating over our problems will somehow solve them. I’ve learned that way never works! The good news is that we have a Savior (Jesus Christ) who is exceptionally good at saving us from everyday disasters and ultimately, saving our souls (John 3:16-17) so we can make it into our final destination (Heaven). Over the years, I’ve learned that when worry comes knocking on the door of my mind, I need to remember who God is and let His Son (Jesus Christ) answer that door and send worry running away from me for good. I’ve found that when worried, it helps to remember Bible stories of how God delivers His people. One of my favorite scriptures to illustrate that point is the story about when God parted the Red Sea for His children (the Israelites) to pass safely to the other side then He drowned their enemies who were in pursuit behind them by returning the sea to its natural form! This is the same God who is alive today. The same Lord who is available to help us 24/7/365 because He never sleeps nor slumbers (Psalm 121:4). When worried, it is important to recall God’s faithfulness to us. He is Almighty, Sovereign, Faithful, and True to me and you. God is able to accomplish everything He has planned for our lives on Earth and in the world at large. No human or evil supernatural force can thwart God’s plans. His purpose always prevails (Proverbs 19:21). Nothing is impossible for God (Luke 1:37)! So why do we worry? I think it’s because we’re still human, mere mortals with finite vision. But the good news is we serve an Immortal God with infinite vision! The Bible says that God knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). He’s planned out all the days of our life (Psalm 139:16), and He knows what He’s doing. God has a perfect track record of being trustworthy, and He does all things with perfection. God shows up for us in little ways and big ways. Such as the time when I needed a parking space in an office lot that is often full. Recently, as I prepared for an appointment, I prayed about this on my drive to that small space, and when I arrived, there were four empty parking spaces! This proved to me that God cares about the small things. When I was in my last few weeks of graduate school, our professor told us that if we made more than two mistakes on our final paper, then we would fail her class and not graduate. I asked all my God-fearing family and friends to pray for me about this serious situation, and God answered our prayers! I passed her final class and received my graduate degree. This proved to me that God cares about the big things! In closing, I’d like for you to listen to this song, “He’s Able” by Deitrick Haddon, then remember that God is a loving Heavenly Father who provides for all our needs daily. So next time you feel a wave of worry crashing over you, reach out to Him. He’s always there. Our Lifeguard (Jesus Christ) walks on water. He won’t let us drown. We just need to remember that He is able to rescue us, sustain us, and help us reach our true home (Heaven). Intersecting Faith & Life: How does it feel to know that we serve a God who is able to meet our every need and exceed our greatest expectations?

In this weekend's broadcast of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett turns to Luke 6 to consider Jesus' encounter with the heavy hand of legalism. In these familiar passages, the Pharisees condemn Christ and His disciples for plucking grain on the Sabbath and later challenge Him for restoring a man's withered hand on another Sabbath. … Continue reading "Jesus’ Encounter with Legalism"

Dear, surviving, audient: how is it hanging?WeI sympathize.If you were looking to art as an answer, hoping for some revolutionary frameworks, or just plain ol' solace inside --            -- I'm afraid most of the pod's going to tell you to keep looking.In this one we watched 2 "political" movies released this year: Ari Aster's Eddington and Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another.More generally, the 2 movies raised the question of what it means to involve politics in a movie. Jake took this as an excuse to geek out on Grad school vibes and do a deep dive into Walter Benjamin's attempts to save aesthetics from the khaki schmattes of Communism.Who said Marx Grudge?Benjamin does brandish an interesting, rather Derridian, analytic tool in the distinction between allegory and the symbol; which I will anger Jake and summarize here as analogous (allegorical?!) to a movie whose special effects are shot on set with actual props, and the one where the effects are all programmed in (as CGI). Like shooting props, the allegory foregrounds its technicity, while the symbol will claim the harmony of form-function and content. Except the symbol doesn't work anymore. Like the pathetic attempt poor Andy had to suffer through, where the reinvented "Superman" is called-upon to white-wash the Gaza genocide (still a western debacle). The symbol rang so hollow it gave Andy bowel issues. (Editor's note:) We will NOT be getting into that.Of course, the allegory's very apparatus makes it susceptible to Capitalist manipulations. This is where we take a more specific tack on Anderson's film: shot and directed, deliberately, in my opinion, as a post-fascist account of how pathetic and hopeless revolutions are, how revolutionaries are either posers or self-deceiving cucks.And here is Anderson's genius, in recognizing the capitalist tentacles have already infiltrated all discourse -- which is a panicked, exhausted discourse these days (on "the left") -- "over-technicizing" allegory into social media reels and internet memes. His account gives the melancholia of a post-fascist winner looking back at history: disjointed, often accompanied by a (never happy or energetic or really calm) soundtrack, the characters are mostly isolated with superficial thoughts and relationships... it is the sad sigh of a fulfilled Sklavenmoral.There was more tossed around, of course. Fair warning.STARS: Marx Grudge (grudgingly); Beast & Sovereign... but really, all the Stars were there: the Il vaut mieux with differance; the Pervs R' Us with melancholy, the WWJD with 'Manifest Destiny'...P.S. We have an official email address (5startossers@gmail.com), for you, dear audient, to vent; a kind of a complaint/feedback box. We will collect the complaints (/corrections/disputes) to an episode where we address your mirror of our stupidities. 5ST

High performers often confuse responsibility with control — and call it stewardship. This episode explores burnout recovery through faith, revealing how surrender and trust recalibrate your nervous system from pressure to peace.When you've built your life on excellence, it's easy to mistake control for calling — and pressure for purpose. But what if your faithfulness has quietly turned into self-salvation?In Episode 184: Faithful Stewardship vs. Self-Salvation, Julie Holly guides high-capacity humans through the sacred transition from performance-based identity to purpose-based partnership.Drawing on Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that addresses transformation at the identity level — this episode reframes stewardship not as control, but as co-creation. You'll learn how surrender functions as the highest form of nervous system regulation, and how the body itself begins to rest when trust replaces tension.Through the story of Eric Liddell, the Olympic runner who said “I feel His pleasure” when he ran, Julie reminds us that excellence is worship, not worth. Faithful stewardship means partnering with the Sovereign who began the work — not performing to prove your devotion.From a neuroscience lens, this conversation explores how surrender rewires the nervous system for peace, and how releasing control signals safety at a cellular level. From a spiritual lens, it reminds us that we're not self-made — we're Spirit-shaped.This isn't another mindset tactic — it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other strategy sustainable.Key Insights:The difference between stewardship and self-salvationHow trust rewires the nervous system for peaceWhy surrender is the highest form of regulationWhat happens when excellence flows from partnership, not pressureHow to live from alignment instead of anxietyMicro Recalibration:“I'm not self-made; I'm Spirit-shaped.”Ask yourself: “Where am I still trying to prove what God has already affirmed?”Rest isn't rebellion — it's reverence.Scripture Reference: Colossians 3:23–24 (NLT):“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people... The Master you are serving is Christ.”If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Send us a textThis is a rebroadcast of our 08/24/24 program.GUEST: SCOTT ANIOL, Executive VP and Editor-in-Chief G3 MinistriesThere is no more important issue and pursuit than worshipping God. It's more important than who will be our next president, more important than world peace, more important than your health, financial security, and whatever else we treasure.Scripture makes the primacy of worship clear:  King David prayed, “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all” (1 Chronicles 29:11).Paul wrote, “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Cor 10:31).King Solomon exhorted, “The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear [reverence, awe] God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)Psalms, the songbook of the Bible, closes this way: “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” (Psalm 150:6)God created man as a worshipful being. We can see this because everyone worships someone or something. If God isn't worshipped, a false god will be substituted—person, pleasure, possession, position, popularity, power, to name just a few.God, as Creator, Sustainer, Savior, and Sovereign over all, deserves our worship. Our peace, purpose, and pleasure in life is directly proportional to how rightly and authentically we worship the Creator.Our guest this weekend is Scott Aniol, Executive VP and Editor-in-Chief G3 Ministries. G3, which stands for “Gospel—Grace—Glory”, is a Christian organization that aims to strengthen the local church through conferences, resources, online articles, podcasts, expository preaching workshops, biblical worship workshops, and local church-based curriculum for Sunday school and small groups.”Scott Aniol will join us to discuss “The Primacy of Worship”. He explains in a five-part column series corresponding to each of the “five solas” of the Reformation that worship is even more important than salvation, for salvation is the entry point to proper worship of God.This program aims to be a helpful for individual Christians and also the church, for worship includes but is far more encompassing than music alone.-------------------Manger in Danger for a donation of $30 or moreRELATED ARTICLES:The Primacy of Worship Scott Aniol's series on the 5 Solas of WorshipScripture AloneGrace Alone in Christ AloneFaith AloneTo the Glory of God Alone

Australia needs control over its intelligence layer, not just its data. We explore SCX's sovereign AI cloud, Project Magpie's cultural reasoning, and why inference economics and time-to-market beat hype-driven buildouts.• sovereign AI as control and context, not just security• SCX's inference cloud and partnership with SambaNova• Project Magpie fine-tuning the reasoning layer for Australia• training vs inference split to optimize cost and speed• tokens per kilowatt as the core unit economics• open source vs closed models in enterprise adoption• retrofitting existing data centers with pre-assembled racks• moving pilots to production through cost, control, and confidence• regional strategy across Southeast Asia and exportable tokens• agents shifting work to domain teams, doing more not just cutting costs• candid MBA debate on value, narrative, and people skills• playful Spark Tank on pickleball and rapid-fire personal insightsWhat if a nation's most critical asset isn't oil, power, or spectrum—but intelligence? We sit down with Southern Cross AI (SCX) founder David Keane, co-founder and CSO Akash Agrawal, and SambaNova's Chief Product and Strategy Officer Abhi Ingle to unpack how a sovereign AI cloud can protect context, culture, and control while still competing on cost and speed. From Australia's national needs to regional demand across Southeast Asia, we chart a pragmatic route from vision to working systems.David explains why SCX is built around inference as a service and how Project Magpie fine-tunes the reasoning layer so models “think like an Australian,” reflecting local law, language, and norms. Abhi breaks down training vs inference in plain English, clarifying why pretraining might live on massive GPU clusters while high-throughput, energy-efficient inference thrives on SambaNova's ASIC-based systems. Akash digs into enterprise realities—data sovereignty, runaway costs, and integration roadblocks—and makes the case for open source models you can fork, fine-tune, and operate within your perimeter.We get practical about tokens per kilowatt as the new ROI, pre-assembled racks that drop into existing data centers, and managed services that cut time-to-market from years to months.

In this week's show Lian is joined by Hugh Newton. Hugh's life began in the midst of a war in Zimbabwe (then known as Rhodesia). Growing up in such harsh conditions meant that he had to work hard to overcome his complex childhood trauma. Hugh began his self-development journey 30 years ago, and has been passionate about both supporting men to step into the fullest versions of themselves, and strengthening and uplifting the African continent that he loves so much. Hugh works as the lead male facilitator at Celebration of Being, and was a certified leader at A Band of Brothers for 7 years. He's also a trained shadow work facilitator and coach. His body of work supports men to show up as their best selves in the world, overcome their wounding, and build rich, nourishing lives for themselves and those they love. In this episode, Lian and Hugh explore men, trauma, and the long road back to wholeness. They touch Hugh's childhood on a remote Rhodesian farm under civil war, the day a nine-year-old was trained and armed to protect his mother and sister, the years of numbness that followed, and the moment he named the predator within and chose to meet it. They turn to what creates healing: men's work that faces danger with love, simple daily honesty instead of performance, and steady boundaries that make intimacy possible. Listen if you are or love a man who can't feel, wondered why good men go numb, or wanted to understand how even the deepest wounds in men can become strength. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: How men's childhood survival strategies become adult numbness, and the concrete steps that begin to thaw it without collapsing into chaos and overwhelm Why naming the predator within changes behaviour, desire, and trust in relationship, and the practices that keep it in the heart rather than the shadows What happens when women respond to men's early, imperfect vulnerability with steadiness and praise… and how that accelerates genuine masculine healing Resources and stuff spoken about: The Sovereign's Journey - May 2026 edition Hugh's book on Amazon Regular online workshops for men Join Hugh on instagram Join Hugh on Facebook Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

Sovereign Discipline - Jonah 1:4-7

I think you'll agree that sharing your faith is one of the most difficult things about being a Christian. Statistics show that a majority of Christians never lead another person to Jesus Christ. One reason we're sometimes reluctant to share is the chance of being persecuted. That was the risk Paul and Barnabas faced in Acts thirteen. How did they respond? Let's find out.

Is God sovereign in salvation, or is man responsible? This is one of the most asked questions in theology. In this episode, we dive into Scripture to answer whether Calvinism or Arminianism is correct.We explore key passages like John 3, John 6, Romans 9-10, and Matthew 11 to show how God's sovereignty and human responsibility are both clearly taught in Scripture. You'll learn:✅ What hyper-Calvinism gets wrong ✅ Why human responsibility matters for evangelism ✅ How election and "whosoever believes" work together ✅ What an antinomy is (and why it's not a paradox) ✅ How to answer "Am I one of the elect?"Whether you're wrestling with predestination, struggling with evangelism, or just want to understand what the Bible actually teaches about salvation, this conversation will ground you in Scripture.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: John 3:3-7, 16 | John 6:37-47 | Romans 8:29-30 | Romans 9:15-18 | Romans 10:9-17 | Matthew 11:27-28 | Ephesians 1:4-11 | Ephesians 2:1-10

High performance and faith often collide, leaving you spiritually exhausted. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals how to move from doing for God to walking with Him — and why your worth was never in your work, but in His workmanship.High performers don't usually think of themselves as performers — especially in faith. But for many, excellence in leadership has quietly merged with striving in spirituality.In this week's Sunday Vertical Integration episode, Julie Holly helps high-capacity humans uncover the difference between doing for God and being with God. Through Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT) and Psalm 127:1, she reframes the exhaustion so many faith-driven achievers feel — the weight of devotion turned into duty.You'll discover how to separate obedience from overextension, and how recalibration restores your ability to lead with peace, not pressure. This episode speaks directly to the high performer's hidden fear: that slowing down might mean losing their edge.As Julie shares from her own story — replacing communion with contribution, and learning to rest inside God's delight — you'll realize that intimacy with the Sovereign isn't measured by what you produce but by how much room you give Him to be with you.This isn't mindset work or productivity theory. It's Identity-Level Recalibration — the root-level alignment that makes every other spiritual, emotional, and leadership tool finally work again.You'll walk away with practical, faith-centered insight for burnout recovery, spiritual exhaustion, and decision fatigue — anchored in one truth: You were never called to perform for God, only to partner with Him.Today's Micro Recalibration:“If I believed the Sovereign already delights in me, how would I lead differently?”Let that question become your quiet leadership audit today. When you lead from delight, peace becomes your power.Semantic Keyword Clusters Included:high performance, burnout recovery, decision fatigue, success fatigue, role confusion, spiritual exhaustion, identity misalignment, identity drift, belonging, faith-based leadership, presence over performance, grace, stewardship, peace, leadership recalibration, wholenessNamed Entities Referenced:Jesus (Matthew 11:28–30, NLT)Psalm 127:1 (NLT)If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

"Zacchaeus was a wee little man...." Do you remember that children's song from church in days gone by? If not, you do probably know the story of Zacchaeus. But did you stop to think that, in some ways, he was at least trying to behave something like a king? As we lead up to Christ the King Sunday, we're taking a look at the gospel readings and discovering more about our Sovereign. Zacchaeus had a lot of power in his little town. But then the ultimate King came along and changed everything. What happens when the ultimate, real Sovereign shows up in your life? We can learn something from this little tax collector in the long ago. Along the way, we also talked about the British Monarchy, some of the troubling things that are happening there, and drew some parallels in our own lives. Join us!

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am honored to welcome a special guest, Richard Fain, Chairman and former CEO of Royal Caribbean Group (RCG). Mr. Fain's new book, Delivering the WOW: Culture as Catalyst for Lasting Success (October 21, 2025; Fast Company Press), reveals actionable lessons from Royal Caribbean's rapid growth: a culture that motivated employees to deliver WOWs to customers, transforming the customer and employee experience all at once with electrifying energy. RCG's trademark culture and dedication to delivering wows also catalyzed innovations including the world's first and biggest megaships, beginning with Sovereign of the Seas in 1988—Cheryl and my first cruise, also in 1988—peerless onboard experiences, including soaring atriums and unexpected ice-skating rinks at sea; and unforgettable offboard experiences including Perfect Day at CocoCay, a private island resort owned by RCG.  Proceeds from proceeds from Delivering the WOW will be donated to the Fain Scholarship Fund, a scholarship program Richard Fain established in 1999 to support the education of Royal Caribbean Group employees and their children, which he has been contributing to at an average of $200,000 in annual support. Richard Fain served as chairman and CEO from 1988 to 2022 when he transitioned to his current role as chairman. Under his leadership, the company grew from a small cruise line to its current place as one of the world's most valuable vacation companies. Recognized for his “visionary leadership”, Mr. Fain was named one of the 30 World's Best CEOs by Barron's for three years running and received the Ultimate CEO Award from the South Florida Business Journal. His international awards include the rank of Officier in the Légion d'Honneur of France and Commander, First Class, of the Order of the Lion of Finland. He and his wife of 56 years have four children and eight extraordinary grandchildren.Do you have a dream car?Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

High performance feels powerful—until it starts to cost your peace. In this episode, Julie Holly unpacks why success can feel heavy, how story work reveals hidden pressure, and how recalibration restores sustainable excellence without losing your edge.High performance isn't the problem—it's who's driving it.In this opening episode of Season Three of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores what happens when the same discipline and devotion that built your success start working against your peace. Many high performers quietly carry burnout, decision fatigue, and a loss of joy behind the veneer of achievement.Drawing from psychology, faith, and story work, Julie reveals how narrative reinforcement—the brain's way of protecting identity—can keep high-capacity humans stuck in cycles of striving. She shares how reframing performance through Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) transforms pressure into peace. This isn't mindset work or productivity hacking—it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool finally work again.You'll also hear how Serena Williams embodied this shift, moving from proving to peace: learning to “trust her preparation instead of her push.” And through Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT), Julie reminds faith-rooted listeners that the Sovereign never called them to exhaustion—but to excellence through ease.

In this week's episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett brings a classic hymn title to life in his message, “Grace, 'Tis a Charming Sound.” Human nature tells us that we get what we deserve.

Pastor Matt continued our Esther series today, exploring chapters 3-4. He showed how true faith emerges when God feels distant, and reminded us that even amidst God's sovereign plan, we are still called to act with courage, as disobedience carries a lasting price.

Burnout recovery and spiritual exhaustion often come from resisting delay. In this Sunday episode, Julie Holly explores how divine timing develops depth—and why Abraham and David show us that waiting isn't punishment but sacred preparation.When success slows or progress stalls, even high-capacity humans start to question: Did I miss my moment? This episode of The Recalibration brings sacred reassurance that delay isn't denial—it's development.Through the stories of Abraham and David, Julie Holly explores how divine timing refines identity long before it reveals results. These two figures—chosen early, formed slowly, fulfilled fully—embody what Julie calls Faithful Becoming: the slow, sacred process where character catches up to calling.You'll learn how Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) helps your nervous system interpret divine delay as formation, not failure. When your identity is secure, you stop panicking in the pause. You start partnering with the process.Drawing on both neuroscience and Scripture, Julie shows that what feels like stagnation may actually be spiritual preservation. Waiting is not wasted—it's the Sovereign's way of fortifying your faith, refining discernment, and preparing you to hold what's next without losing yourself in the noise.In this episode:Why divine delay protects your purposeHow to rebuild self-trust after missteps or disappointmentThe hidden work of waiting: nervous system recalibration and faith formationThe difference between stillness and stagnationWhy willingness matters more than perfectionThis isn't mindset work or performance management. It's Identity-Level Recalibration—the root-level shift that makes every other tool work again.Today's Micro Recalibration: Ask yourself: “Where have I mistaken divine development for delay?” Then write: “I'm not being withheld from—I'm being prepared for.” Let this truth become your new baseline of peace and patience.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.
