Bible Verse: “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…” - Matthew 5:43-47 (NIV) ✨ Daily Meditation: In today’s profound devotional, Jaime Hampton, host of Praying Christian Women Podcast., explores one of Jesus’ most radical and challenging teachings: loving our enemies. This message, drawn from the Sermon on the Mount, calls us not only to tolerate but to bless, pray for, and show compassion to those who oppose or hurt us. We are reminded that our real enemy is not flesh and blood, but the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). When we shift from retaliation to intercession, we begin to see others through God’s eyes — as image-bearers, not adversaries. It’s in these moments of surrendered love that God does His deepest transformative work in us and through us.

God's Spirit can bring us lasting and complete peace, no matter the circumstances. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for gratitude in our daily lives. When we practice thankfulness to God for His perfect character and provision, He gives us His peace—a peace that surpasses understanding. Pastor Allen teaches about the biblical foundation for a gratitude that dispels anxiety, as well as how to live out this biblical idea. Additionally, he shares about the consequences of ungratefulness we see throughout the Bible. We can be secure in God's peace when we give expression to thankfulness.

Isaiah 18-22

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive into the concept of "bumper rails.”You know, those metaphorical “guardrails” that keep us from going off track in life, kinda' like the ones that help little kids bowl without constantly throwing gutter balls.

Everyone celebrates strong starts—but few know how to finish well. What if your next breakthrough is locked inside your exit strategy? In this episode, I'm sharing the raw, Spirit-led story of how I walked away from a dream opportunity—a traditional publishing deal—not because I had a backup plan, but because I knew God had more.  

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.”With those words, Warren Buffett reminded us that character and integrity matter—especially in the world of money. Now, after more than sixty years of market-shaping moves and famous one-liners, Buffett is calling it a career. Today, Matt Bell joins us to reflect on his legacy and share what timeless lessons every investor can learn from it.Matt Bell is the Managing Editor at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A Track Record That's Hard to IgnoreIf you had invested $100 in Berkshire Hathaway back in 1965, that single investment would have grown to over $5.5 million by the end of last year. Compare that with the S&P 500 over the same period, which would have turned $100 into just $39,000. Clearly, Buffett did something different.One unconventional move? He never issued dividends for Berkshire Hathaway, instead reinvesting profits to increase share value. That patient, long-view approach paid off—and it hints at biblical principles like delayed gratification and wise stewardship (Proverbs 21:20).Buffett famously said, “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” While Christians would rightly reject greed and fear as motivations, the deeper principle here is about remaining steady and disciplined in volatile times—echoing Proverbs 14:15: “The simple believe everything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.”Buffett often waited with cash on hand until the right opportunities appeared, especially during downturns. That patience and discernment mirrors biblical instruction to avoid impulsiveness and instead seek wisdom in decision-making.Investing Lessons With Biblical ParallelsOver the years, Buffett offered dozens of pithy insights that mirror biblical truth. Here are a few standouts:“If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you'll work until you die.”—This speaks to the wisdom of putting money to productive use—earning a return through thoughtful investing, a principle echoed in the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25). “Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.”—In Proverbs 15:22, we're reminded that “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” Financial ignorance creates risk, but biblical stewardship calls for wisdom and learning. Diversification, emotional control, and long-term vision—Buffett emphasized all three. These align with a measured, prudent approach to money that Scripture continually encourages.Buffett never let global turmoil shake his confidence in long-term investing. He wrote, “In the 20th century, the U.S. endured world wars, recessions, a depression, oil shocks, and more—yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497.” His takeaway: “It's been a terrible mistake to bet against America.”While our hope as Christians isn't rooted in any one nation's economy, Buffett's long view reminds us of the value of endurance and not making decisions based on fear or short-term noise (see James 1:5–6).Generosity and LegacyPerhaps most inspiring is Buffett's commitment to give away 99% of his wealth. He plans to direct his Berkshire Hathaway shares toward philanthropic causes within ten years of his estate being settled. While we may differ on where those funds go, the posture of open-handed generosity reflects Jesus' teaching: “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).Buffett's success wasn't just about intellect—it was about character: discipline, patience, and generosity. These are values every believer is called to cultivate. As you manage your resources, consider how biblical principles—often echoed in even the most unlikely places—can shape a wise, faithful financial life.To explore these ideas further, read Matt Bell's full article, The Wisdom of Warren Buffett at SoundMindInvesting.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've never had a credit card before, but I recently received a pre-qualified offer from Capital One. They mentioned they've reviewed my credit and noticed I'm keeping up with my bills. Should I consider applying for this card, and how can I verify that the offer is legitimate?As a grandmother, I'm concerned that my grandchildren aren't learning essential financial skills from their parents. I'd love to step in and help, especially with my 20-year-old grandchild. What is the best way to encourage them to save money and manage their finances wisely?Over the past couple of years, God has really blessed me with increased income, and I'm incredibly grateful. I live simply, help my parents, and avoid lifestyle inflation—but I want to make sure I'm handling this increase in a way that honors God. How can I manage this money with biblical stewardship in mind?I'm in a strong financial position—no debt, and I tithe faithfully. I just received $15,000 from selling off some business assets and want to invest it wisely. I'd like it to earn a good return, but I also want it to remain accessible if needed.

1 Chron 24:1-26:11, Rom 4:1-12, Ps 13:1-6, Pr 19:15-16

Ministry isn't a job title—it's a way of life. In this powerful Thursday episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose unpack what it means for families to embrace ministry as both a calling and a legacy. Whether you're a family of pastors, faithful volunteers, or simply parents trying to serve Jesus through everyday moments, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to let your family's light shine brightly in the world.  Through heartfelt stories—from Rich Mullins' radical generosity to the everyday acts of preschool volunteering and neighborhood service—Rachael and Natalie illustrate that ministry can happen anywhere: around the kitchen table, in the car, at a church workday, or even in the checkout line. You'll be reminded that a Kingdom impact doesn't require a pulpit, just a posture of obedience.  You'll also hear from AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay in a special Raising Godly Girls Minute that paints a picture of young girls ministering to hospital patients through simple, Spirit-led acts of compassion. It's a moving reminder that no one is too young—or too ordinary—to be used by God.  This episode dives into two vital heart postures every family can adopt: a willingness to let God multiply their influence and a readiness to make sacrifices for His Kingdom. Whether you're serving in a formal church role or quietly discipling your daughter at home, your life of faithfulness can ripple into eternity.  Scriptures Referenced:  Matthew 25:34–40 – “Whatever you did for the least of these…you did for Me.”  Proverbs 19:21 – “Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.”  Acts 1:8 – “You will be My witnesses…to the ends of the earth.”  Deuteronomy 7:9 – “He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations…”  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

Send us a textIn this profound and soul-stirring episode, host Andrea Atherton welcomes Elizabeth Makepeace—Intuitive Activator, Magnetic Mind Coach, and Alchemist of Inner Wisdom—for a conversation that dives deep into the mystical unfolding of our spiritual gifts. Together, they explore what it means to be “called” by Spirit—not through perfection or certainty, but through surrender to the unknown. Elizabeth shares her personal journey of awakening, including the dark nights of the soul that served as gateways to her intuitive power. Andrea and Elizabeth reflect on the essential truth that before the light fully enters, we must often face our shadows—and in doing so, we discover that our wounds can become portals to profound healing and inner alchemy.What makes this episode especially magnetic is the striking synchronicity between these two women, both of whom have walked parallel paths of spiritual remembrance, reclaiming their intuitive voice and rediscovering their wholeness beyond trauma and fear. Through uncanny overlaps in their stories, they illustrate a greater truth: we are not separate. The web of consciousness is intricately woven, and the divine guidance that flows through our lives often mirrors the healing journeys of others. In laughter, reflection, and reverence, Andrea and Elizabeth offer a conversation that feels like medicine for the soul—reminding us that community is a catalyst for awakening, and resonance is never accidental.Together, they speak to a growing collective energy—one that is calling each of us to rise, release the illusion of isolation, and return to our sacred essence. This episode is a love letter to the seekers, the sensitives, the light-bringers who have braved the dark to find their way back home. Tune in to remember what you already know in your bones: your spiritual gifts are not a coincidence, your path is not a mistake, and your transformation is part of a much larger metamorphosis unfolding on this planet.Elizabeth Makepeace www.elizabethelenor.comhttps://www.elizabethelenor.com/chakraforbusypeople30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

This is Week 5 of our series, By My Spirit.

In this episode of the Fasting Power Framework series, Sherrie Kapala teaches how fasting positions you to emerge victorious, just as Christ did in Luke 4. Before Jesus walked in power, He emptied His flesh. This is the key to renewing your mind, transforming your desires, and stepping into your Spirit-led identity. If you've been stuck in unbelief, led by what you see rather than what you discern, this episode will guide you into a fresh understanding of how to imitate Christ through fasting and make room for spiritual power that brings lasting results. 53/8

Daily Dose of Hope July 17, 2025   Scripture – Matthew 26:17-46   Prayer:  Almighty Father, You always know what is best for us.  Thank you for that.  We are sorry for the ways that we resist.  Help us to want what you want for us.  Help us to want to be patient, to want to be kind, to want to be obedient.  Conform our will, Lord,  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are looking at part two of three parts in Matthew 26.  This is a chapter with lots of substance!   Today's passage includes what we would describe as “The Lord's Supper.”  These are many of the words we say when we share Holy Communion together as a church.   Let's dig into this text.  Jesus has prepared for the disciples to celebrate Passover together.  All the necessary arrangements have been made.  The fact that Jesus is celebrating with his disciples and not his biological family is significant.  It shows his solidarity with these men.    But Jesus knows the solidarity won't last forever.  He prepares this group for one of them to betray him.  None of them believe that they would actually do it.  “You don't mean me, do you?” they all ask, even Judas.  I wonder what Judas is thinking at that moment.  We know he has already betrayed Jesus.  He is a liar and a backstabber and he must have convinced himself that it was the right thing to do.  How often do we convince ourselves that sin is okay, that it is justified?    Passover, or the Festival of Unleavened Bread, is one of the most important Jewish celebrations.  It celebrates the Hebrew victory over Egyptian tyranny.  The Jews were freed from slavery under Pharoah.  At the time, there would have been the additional sub-text of deliverance from Roman oppression as well.    Jesus takes the Passover meal and redefines it for his followers.  Jesus takes the bread and identifies it as his body.  Obviously, it wasn't his literal body, as Jesus was speaker of the statement.  But it represents something very substantial.  Jesus is about to be crucified by the Romans, at the hands of the Jewish leaders.  In doing so, he will be the final sacrifice for sin for all time.    He then takes the cup and declares that the wine is His blood of the new covenant, poured out for the forgiveness sins of the world.  Jesus is ushering in the New Covenant.  He is the New Covenant.  The Old Covenant is being fulfilled by Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.  Can you imagine how confused the disciples are when he says this?  This isn't the typical liturgy of the Passover.  What is Jesus saying about his body and blood?  Remember, while Jesus has warned them of his upcoming death, they still don't quite believe it or understand it.    Let's talk about Holy Communion for just a moment.  In the Lord's Supper, the faith community, current day followers, come together to experience the grace of Jesus Christ on a regular basis.  There are some traditions that read the words in Matthew 26 and believe in transubstantiation, meaning that the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus.  We don't believe that in Methodism.  However, we do believe that the Holy Spirit is present and at work as we receive communion. It is not just an act of remembrance, but truly a means of grace in which we are able to experience Jesus in a way that is real but also somewhat mysterious. It is a tangible way to experience an inward grace.   Methodists (of all streams) believe that in Communion, the Holy Spirit brings Christ to us, expressing the grace and love of God toward us through the means of bread and wine. In fact, John Wesley described communion as “the grand channel whereby the grace of his Spirit was conveyed to the souls of the children of God.” Through the Lord's Supper, we can expect to experience Jesus' love, forgiveness, healing, holiness, presence, and even a foretaste of heaven. Because of this, Wesley encouraged Methodists to experience Holy Communion weekly if not more, as it provides “nourishment for the soul.”   One of the beautiful things about our theology is that we have an open table. Wesley viewed Holy Communion as “a converting ordinance,” through which the Spirit can lead an individual to faith in Jesus Christ. Because of our emphasis on prevenient grace, we trust that God has already been at work in the life of each person, continuously wooing them closer to Christ. Thus, in the Lord's Supper, you don't have to be a member of any church but simply respond to Christ's invitation-he invites those who love him, who seek him, and who repent of their sins.    For those who have not yet received salvation, we believe that the Holy Spirit can work through the act of communion to transform their heart in such a way they are ready to say yes to Jesus. In this sense, Holy Communion can be an act of justifying grace. For those who are already in the community of faith, Holy Communion tends to be an act of sanctifying grace, as it nurtures believers, points them back toward grace, and helps them grow and move forward in their faith journey.   Our reading for today also has Jesus predicting Peter's denial.  I have always found this so fascinating.  Peter was convinced that he would never turn his back on Jesus.  He says that he will die before renouncing Jesus.  And it is only a few short hours later that Peter denies Jesus not once, not twice, but three times.  How quickly can sin and temptation enter our hearts and minds!  When push came to shove, Peter let fear take over.    As we discussed in Mark, it's wonderful to see how fearful, self-protecting Peter becomes bold, confident Peter after the coming of the Holy Spirit. On our own, we will falter.  With the power of God in us, we can change and do hard things.   Lastly, the poor disciples cannot stay awake.  They've had a lot of wine and food at the Passover meal.  Jesus has them praying and they just can't keep their eyes open.  The Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.   It's also here that Jesus submits himself to the Father.  The human part of him would like the whole ordeal to not happen.  But he knows that it must.  It will be the most important event in the history of the world.  Nothing will ever be as significant.  The course of human history is about to change.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me. . . .” — John 10:14 When Jesus, the Son of God, came to live and teach among us, he picked up on the imagery of Psalm 23 and told all who would hear, “I am the good shepherd.” Jesus came to us as the Lord God in the flesh, declaring that he was there to shepherd God's people and lead them home to the Father. He moved into our world, our neighborhood, and reminded everyone of what the Lord our shepherd had been doing all along: guiding us, pursuing us, and calling us back to him. The Lord's sheep began to recognize God in his Son and to follow him. Jesus made a strong connection to the work that his Father had already been doing, highlighting that his close relationship with the Father informed how he would save, guard, and protect the Lord's sheep. When we read the accounts of Jesus' life and ministry in the Bible, we see Jesus gathering his flock, walking among God's people, and getting to know them. He teaches them and models what it looks like to do the will of his Father so that they can live God's way as well. Like the shepherd in Psalm 23, he lives among God's sheep and leads them to the one thing they need: a renewed relationship with the Lord, who calls them to live in abundance and full life forever with him. In what ways have you found that the good shepherd knows you? Lord Jesus, thank you for showing us God's love and how to live for him. May we hear your voice in your Word and by your Spirit. Amen.

We hope all our Creeps and Peeper are also unsettled by our tales this week. Dan starts off in  North Carolina with a story about a man who tried to transform into an actual demon. And some think he was, in a way, successful. Then, his second tale is the story of some of the residents of a housing development outside of Houston, built on a forgotten cemetery, who claim that the spirits of those whose remains were disrespected were both awakened and angered by the destruction of their final resting place. Lynze has three stories today! Her first also takes us to Texas where a strange situation occurs with a neighbor. Then, a woman traveling alone has the creepiest taxi ride to her hotel. Lastly, a young boy runs into the former owner of his Grandmother's home. Scared To Death Merch: Exciting new merch is up in the store!

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the enigmatic history of The Campbell Apartment, tracing its transformation from the lavish office of financier John W. Campbell to its current incarnation as a renowned cocktail lounge. We'll explore the architectural grandeur meticulously restored to its former glory and delve into the various roles the space has played over the decades. We'll also examine the numerous reports of paranormal activity that have emerged since its reopening, including sightings of a mysterious figure in 1920s attire and other unexplained phenomena. Through interviews with staff, patrons, and paranormal investigators, we'll seek to uncover whether these accounts are mere remnants of the past or if there's something more otherworldly at play.

“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.'” - Hebrews 13:5Sports betting is more popular—and more accepted—than ever, even among Christians. But is it just harmless fun, or something more? Dr. David W. Jones returns to our financial ethics series to help us examine what Scripture says about gambling and how believers should approach it.Dr. David W. Jones is Senior Professor of Christian Ethics at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He holds a Ph.D. in Christian Financial Ethics and is the author of Every Good Thing: An Introduction to the Material World and the Common Good for Christians.What Does Scripture Say About Gambling?Proverbs 13:11 reminds us that:“Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”Gambling, which includes sports betting, bypasses God's designed rhythm of work and reward. 1 Timothy 6:9 warns that the desire to get rich quickly leads people into “ruin and destruction.” These verses challenge the notion that a fast win is simply a blessing—it may erode character.Is it always wrong to bet on a game with friends? Not necessarily. A one-time bracket pool during March Madness may not signal a deep moral compromise. But we must ask: Is this behavior occasional and harmless, or has it become habitual and idolatrous?The difference lies in the heart. It's not that gambling created the idolatry of money or sports—it revealed it. And perhaps in God's grace, it's giving us an opportunity to examine what we truly worship.The Stewardship QuestionEvery financial decision we make is a stewardship decision. Psalm 24:1 reminds us:“The earth is the Lord's and everything in it.”So before we spend God's money—even on entertainment—we must ask: Is this wise? Does this reflect my faith? Does it honor the Lord?We must start to think through whether our spending on gambling—even recreationally—glorifies God. That doesn't mean all entertainment is wrong. But we are called to be faithful managers of what belongs to God, and some forms of entertainment carry higher risks than others.Beyond personal stewardship, Christians must consider what they're supporting. The gambling industry is responsible for significant harm. Studies show that 1 in 5 gambling addicts attempt suicide, and addiction is rising fastest among young adults, according to the American Psychological Association.For those in the church, we must acknowledge this cultural shift and lovingly walk alongside people through it, offering them truth, grace, and accountability.Idolatry, Discontentment, and the Way BackSports betting may be legal, but legality is not the same as morality, and morality isn't always wisdom. If your habits reflect discontentment or a misplaced trust in money, that's a red flag.But there's hope. These things are not the unpardonable sin. 1 John 1:9 reminds us: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us... God is always ready to receive us.”Isaiah 26:3 also says:“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”If you're struggling with a gambling habit or questioning your motivations, seek accountability at your local church. And if addiction is involved, please pursue professional help. Freedom is possible—and peace is found not in the thrill of a win, but in keeping your eyes on Christ.Remember: just because it's permissible doesn't mean it's wise. True freedom is found not in betting on uncertain outcomes, but in trusting the God who holds the future.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm trying to understand where tax-free municipal bonds might fit into my overall investment strategy. How can they be used effectively for tax efficiency and generating income, and when would it make sense to include them in a portfolio?I have $19,000 sitting in an old 401(k) account, and I'm considering transferring it into a fixed annuity. I'm not retired yet and plan to return to work in the school system. One option offers lifetime income starting at age 74, but I'm not sure if that's the best use of my funds. What should I consider before making this decision?I'm in the process of updating my will now that I've moved to Texas. I'm wondering if it would be more in line with God's will to allocate a percentage of my estate to the three nonprofit ministries I support, rather than dividing everything evenly among my three children. How should I think through this decision from a biblical perspective?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Every Good Thing: An Introduction to the Material World and the Common Good for Christians by Dr. David W.

In this heartwarming and inspiring episode, Susan Ryan welcomes 99-year-old Peg McLaughlin and her daughter Marguerite for a moving conversation about Peg's extraordinary life. A lifelong nurse, mother of five, and dedicated community volunteer, Peg shares stories from her upbringing in Providence, R.I., her career in obstetrics and pediatrics, and decades of service to others—whether through scouting, church ministries, or her local food bank. Now living in assisted living after having given up driving at age 98, Peg reflects on adjusting to a new chapter of life, maintaining her faith and independence, and finding purpose through connection, compassion, and resilience. Margie offers loving insights into her mother's unwavering generosity and quiet impact on those around her. Some of Peg's words of wisdom: • Service doesn't end with age—it evolves. • Maintaining social connection and purpose is key to aging well. • Faith, humor, and a giving heart sustain a life of longevity. Together, their reflections offer a beautiful portrait of aging, humor, and heart.

This week Pastor Pace begins teaching on a very important understanding of Spiritual things by drawing the distinction between the truth and error. Text: 1 John 4:1-2,6 "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error."Please hit follow and don't forget to give us a 5-star rating and leave a review.

The thing about serving the Lord is, there are no days off! The difference between the sacred and the secular in the Christian's life is exactly zero. "Do all to the glory of God," Paul would write to the Corinthians. In his letter to the Romans, he talks about what that feels like from the inside. It feels like something bubbling over. Are we "fervent" - hot, boiling, heated by the flame of the Spirit? Here's the conclusion of Jim's sermon, Too Hot to Handle.

We're invited to reconsider how entertainment shapes our hearts—moving from distraction to deeper connection with God. In Luke 15, the Father's joy reminds us that God delights in our delight when it draws us closer to Him. Spirit-led leisure becomes a way to grow in love, joy, and lasting peace.

What if the love we give, receive, and believe in… isn't love at all?In this episode, we wrestle with a powerful question: Do we really know what love is? So much of what we call love is shaped by emotions, needs, and personal experiences—but real love can't be self-taught, studied, or felt into existence. It must be revealed.We explore how the world—and even believers—often misinterpret love. From selfish affection to conditional kindness, many forms of love fall short of God's truth. Real love isn't found in knowledge or emotion. It's the fruit of the Spirit—planted, grown, and revealed through a personal connection with God.True love begins with Him. Only when we love God with all our heart, soul, and mind can we rightly love others.If you've ever wondered, “Is this love?”, this conversation will help you lay down the world's version and discover the one that flows from heaven.

Triggers and Activators Are More Than Buzzwords: We clarify that “triggers” (or “activators”) are events that alter our nervous system, often deeply rooted in past traumas, not just everyday disappointments.In this conversation, Jeff shares a personal story about how traumatic events from our past, big or small, can leave lasting marks on our nervous system and influence our emotions well into the future. Our discussion takes a thoughtful look at how emotional intelligence (EQ) can help us navigate and manage these triggers, not by erasing them, but by developing new ways of thinking and responding.We emphasize the importance of curiosity instead of judgment when reflecting on emotional responses and describe how, just like updating outdated computer software, we can “upgrade” our mindsets and beliefs to function better in today's world.This episode offers practical strategies, a few laughs, and a poignant reminder that while working through our triggers takes effort and sometimes outside help, the journey is well worth it, and none of us has to go it alone. Whether you're looking to understand your own emotional responses or support someone else, there's something here for everyone looking to grow on their EQ journey.Here are 3 key takeaways for you:Triggers = Old Neural Pathways: Our emotional triggers are often rooted in past events that created neural pathways in our brains—think of it as “old software” that keeps running unless we update it through intentional effort and curiosity.EQ is a Learnable Tool: Emotional intelligence isn't a magic fix, but it's a powerful, learnable skill to help us recognize, understand, and slowly reprogram our responses to triggers. This process requires work, but that's where real growth happens.Curiosity Over Judgment: The first step to transforming our experience is curiosity, not blame. By exploring past emotions without judgment, we can identify which beliefs still serve us, and which need updating.Key Moments00:00 Trauma's Impact on the Brain03:59 Navigating Triggers with Emotional Intelligence07:12 Building New Neuroconnections11:53 Curiosity in Emotional Reflection13:28 "Rewire Thoughts, Question Core Beliefs"18:12 "Creating Space for Energy Renewal"21:38 "Simple Complexity of Auto Repair"23:41 "The Insidious Influence of Wealth"26:40 "What Happens When the Wizard's Power Fades?"30:28 Thinking, Fast vs. SlowIn each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

In this episode, Josh Hensley, Steve Buttram, Michael Shearon, and Kevin Lee engage in a powerful and deeply personal discussion. The team starts with a lighthearted trip down memory lane, sharing the childhood movies that scarred them for life (we're looking at you, Little Monsters and Poltergeist). But the tone quickly shifts as they unpack Kevin's sermon from Romans 8, reflecting on how God works through suffering and how the Spirit intercedes in our weakness. The group shares real stories of painful seasons, the long waits in the “desert,” and the quiet comfort of knowing God is near even when there are no words left to pray. A quote from Tim Keller sparks conversation about how even our groans are heard by God, and Kevin offers a reminder that while God may not cause everything, He can work in everything. They close with exciting updates on New Work's mission efforts, a look ahead to Friend Day and Lakeside Baptism on August 24, and a joyful sendoff as Kevin heads into sabbatical.   ASK A QUESTION - TELL A STORY - CONNECT WITH US
