    Consistency is the foundation of strength training—but it's also the hardest part. In the first episode of the C.L.A.R.A. series, Andrew and Niki break down why strength training consistency matters more than motivation, outcomes, or perfect programming. If you've ever struggled to stick with lifting, lost momentum after early progress, or felt discouraged by slow results, this episode explains why that's normal—and how to stay in the process anyway. C.L.A.R.A. stands for Consistency, Longevity, Accountability, Resilience, and Adaptability. These five principles form the mental framework for lifelong strength, health, and sustainable training. This episode focuses on consistency because everything else flows from it. You'll hear why outcomes like PRs and physique changes can become distractions, how discomfort and delayed feedback sabotage consistency, and why buy-in matters more than motivation. The conversation also explores common obstacles to staying consistent with strength training, including soreness, injury, decision fatigue, limiting beliefs, and the mental load of trying to do everything "right." This episode kicks off a new series designed to help lifters think beyond the barbell and build strength that lasts for decades—not just months. Timestamps 00:00 – Why this series exists and why consistency comes first 03:00 – Introducing the C.L.A.R.A. framework 06:15 – Consistency over outcomes and PR obsession 09:45 – Buy-in, churn, and why consistency drives results 14:00 – Discomfort, delayed feedback, and limiting beliefs 21:30 – Decision fatigue, friction, and the role of coaching 30:15 – Looking ahead to longevity and the long game PS - Ready to finally see real change? Lean In 12 delivers noticeable fat loss, improved strength, and unmatched consistency through expert coaching and daily support — all in one premium 12-week program.

    Ep880 | 4 Hard Lessons From 2025 (That Will Make You a Better Clinic Owner in 2026)

    Four Big Lessons from 2025 for Cash-Based PT Owners In this year-end episode of the PT Entrepreneur Podcast, Dr. Danny Matta shares the four biggest lessons he learned in 2025. From a small revenue dip at PT Biz to the rise of corporate cash clinics, the longevity wave, and why happiness cannot be tied to "winning," Danny breaks down what actually matters for clinic owners who want a sustainable, meaningful business and life. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why PT Biz saw its first year-over-year revenue decline and what actually caused it The danger of chasing brand polish while neglecting core sales and marketing fundamentals Why corporate and private-equity backed cash and hybrid clinics are coming fast How to decide if you should stay small and lifestyle-based or grow and compete Why "health is wealth" is both a mission and a major business opportunity How to think about long-term performance, longevity, and lifetime value in your clinic Why happiness cannot be tied only to hitting revenue goals or "winning" in business How gratitude, perspective, and boundaries at home change how you lead at work Lesson 1: The Year Revenue Went Backwards For the first time outside of COVID shutdowns, PT Biz saw a year-over-year decline in top-line revenue. It was not a crash, but it was the first dip in an otherwise steady climb. Going into 2025, the team made a big bet: double down on brand and visibility. That meant more clinic tours, more travel, more polished content, stronger YouTube presence, and a much more professional public-facing brand. The upside: the brand looks sharper, more consistent, and more aligned with what PT Biz actually delivers. The downside: attention and effort shifted away from core sales and marketing fundamentals that had been driving client acquisition for years. The brand got better. The KPIs that actually bring in new owners slipped. The lesson: do not starve the fundamentals to fund a big bet. Brand polish is great, but not at the expense of the boring systems that quietly keep your pipeline full. Momentum is effort multiplied by accuracy, and this year the effort was high, but the target was slightly off. Lesson 2: Corporate Cash Clinics Are Coming Regional cash and hybrid groups are already growing in multiple markets. They have strong brands, smart operators, and they are learning how to scale performance-based services across locations. As interest rates fall and borrowing becomes cheaper, larger groups and backers are going to look at cash-based PT the same way they looked at in-network PT years ago: fragmented, profitable, and ripe for consolidation. That creates a fork in the road for small clinic owners: Stay small, stay lifestyle: Keep a lean, owner-operated practice, accept your capacity ceiling, and focus on doing great work with a small team. Grow and compete: Commit to becoming a true business owner, not just a great clinician. That means learning hiring, leadership, cash flow, marketing beyond yourself, and building a place where people want to work long term. Either path can be a win. But "average" business skills will not cut it in crowded markets where well-funded competitors offer better recruiting, benefits, and systems. Lesson 3: Health Is Wealth (and Your Biggest Opportunity) There is a cultural shift happening around health and longevity. People are listening to three-hour podcasts on sleep, VO2 max, and zone 2 training. Functional medicine clinics are everywhere. High-end "longevity programs" are popping up inside luxury gyms. For movement-based, performance-focused cash practices, this is a massive opportunity. Your patients no longer just want to get out of pain. They want to stay strong, independent, and capable for as long as possible. They are looking for a guide who can help them preserve function, strength, and energy for decades, not weeks. This is where you can step in as the long-term quarterback of their health and performance. That might include: Strength and mobility programming designed for longevity Clear testing and reassessment around performance and function Coaching on sleep, recovery, lifestyle, and training hygiene Long-term continuity options and proactive care plans Done right, this dramatically increases lifetime value per client and creates deeper, more rewarding clinical relationships that match why you went into this profession to begin with. Lesson 4: Happiness Is Not Tied to "Winning" For many high achievers, revenue is the scoreboard. Hit the goal and you feel like a winner. Miss it and you feel like a loser. In past years, missing a big target would have poisoned Danny's entire year and bled into family life at home. This year, even with a small revenue decline, he is as content as he has ever been. The difference is perspective. When you zoom out, the "loss" on the scoreboard sits next to: Rebuilt personal health after knee surgery and a return to the activities he loves A stronger marriage built over nearly two decades together Healthy, growing kids who are ambitious, kind, and thriving A real sense of community and friendships at home The lesson: your mood and your identity cannot be chained to one metric inside your business. You can care deeply about your goals, push hard, and still refuse to let a missed target turn you into a miserable person for the people you love. Gratitude is not a fluffy quote. It is a practical tool. When business feels heavy, you can actively ask: what went well this year, what am I proud of, and what in my life would I never trade for a slightly bigger number on a spreadsheet? Action Steps for Clinic Owners Review the year honestly: where did effort get misdirected away from proven fundamentals? Decide which race you are running: lifestyle solo practice or growth business that competes with bigger players. Start building a true long-term health and longevity offer for your best-fit patients. Schedule time to reflect on what went right, what you learned, and what you are grateful for outside of money. Ready for Help With Your Next Step? If you want help figuring out what to focus on next and how to build a business that matches the life you actually want, set up a call with a PT Biz senior advisor.

    Walk with Him

    If you've lost your job and the future feels uncertain, this prayer is for you.Job loss can affect more than finances — it can touch identity, confidence, and peace. This gentle prayer is rooted in Psalm 34:18, reminding us that God is close to the brokenhearted and present in seasons of transition and waiting.You are not defined by a title, a paycheck, or a company's decision. God sees you, walks with you, and remains faithful even when the path ahead is unclear.This prayer invites you to release fear, rest in God's care, and trust Him with what is still unfolding. You don't have to have all the answers today.Take a breath. Receive strength for this moment. Hold onto hope as God guides your next steps.

    God's armor may not always feel comfortable, but it is necessary. It's not a buffet. It's irreducibly complex. Miss one piece and you're vulnerable—like an old VW bus with 12,000 parts and no brake fluid. One small omission can become a big disaster. We tend to trust our strengths too much. Blind spots are real. David, Peter, Abraham, Moses—giants with gaps. The armor is “of God.” That means the source and the standard are God, not me. I traced the cultural shift in authority: ancient (Scripture), modern (science), postmodern (self). We live in the age of “I feel,” where feelings often sit in the driver's seat. But Ephesians assumes an ancient posture: God speaks; Scripture is authority; I submit my emotions, not the other way around. With God's armor, we CAN withstand. Not easily, but truly (1 Corinthians 10:13; Romans 6). We celebrate forgiveness—and we should—but we should also celebrate that we are no longer slaves to sin. New covenant hearts want God. We get deceived when we trade deep joy for cheap thrills. Cheap is available. Deep takes patience and wisdom. Porn promises intensity and leaves people empty, ashamed, and alone. Shallow “community” at the bar gives the feeling of companionship without the truth that transforms us. Buying kids off with stuff substitutes for the hard and beautiful work of forming souls. When tempted, pause and ask, “What do I most want in ten years?” Pray. Phone a friend. Choose the long game. Then there's “the evil day.” Not Revelation horses. The personal season when the waves don't stop. Some in Scripture fell on their evil day; others stood—Joseph, Daniel, Shadrach/Meshach/Abednego, Paul, and Jesus. We come to the Table to be strengthened, so when that day comes, we can stand.

    In this last episode of 2025 for ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, and I'm offering a collective reading using my annual New Year spread. This reading is for all of us - a shared reflection on what we're carrying forward, what we're releasing, and how we can meet the coming year with more awareness, regulation, and intention. At the center of the spread is our 2026 collective year card: The Wheel of Fortune, an archetype that speaks to change, movement, uncertainty, and the reality that life keeps turning whether we feel ready or not.Throughout the episode, I walk through each card in the seven-card spread and explore it through a therapeutic, nervous-system–informed lens. We begin by looking back at 2025 and naming something to be proud of, which arrives in the form of the Four of Cups which I realize feels like emotional discernment and learning where our energy no longer belongs. From there, the Two of Wands invites us to continue exploring curiosity, vision, and expansion in 2026, especially by gently stepping into our stretch zone rather than pushing ourselves into panic.As the reading unfolds, the Four of Swords emerges as a key lesson from the Wheel of Fortune itself: sometimes we need to tune out in order to truly tune in. This card becomes the Wheel's nervous-system companion, reminding us that rest, reduced stimulation, and intentional pauses are what allow us to survive constant motion without burning out. The Five of Pentacles reversed encourages us to stop chasing closed doors and opt out of spaces (social, creative, spiritual, or relational) that no longer offer genuine care or belonging.We then turn toward what to release as we enter the new year, with The Hanged Man reversed highlighting the trap of endless waiting, over-intellectualizing, or disguising avoidance as patience and spirituality. This card asks us to notice where reflection has turned into bypassing and where it's time to act, even without perfect clarity. The reading closes with a collective affirmation drawn from The Strength card, which I explore through the lens of titration and nervous-system regulation. Rather than brute force or pushing through, Strength becomes a reminder to manage activation with care and intention.The affirmation I offer for 2026 based on the Strength card is: “I will move at a pace my nervous system can handle.”I also talk about turning this affirmation into a sigil-based ritual - a practice I use regularly to anchor insight into daily life. If you choose to pull this spread for yourself using your personal 2026 year card, or create your own sigil or affirmation, I'd love to see what emerges for you!Thank you for being here, for listening, and for allowing me to hold space at the intersection of tarot, psychology, and mental health. I hope this collective reading supports you as you step into 2026 with more ease, clarity, and self-trust.Deck used: Tarot Vintage

Isaiah 63:7 Mercy and Compassion A highly respected running coach was once asked what he would do if he wanted to make his own son an Olympic runner. He responded, “I would get him a coach that believed he could be an Olympian.” After all his years of training runners, this man had learned that having a coach who believed in his runner was a key component to helping that athlete reach his true potential. Isaiah describes the Lord looking at his people and saying, “Surely they are my people, sons who will not be false to me.” How could the Lord say this when Israel had turned its back on him again and again? It wasn’t that God thought he could make his people better simply by believing in them. No, God calls Israel his people because in his love and mercy, he made them his people. “He became their Savior.” A coach might help an athlete achieve his greatest potential by believing in him, but God has done much more for us. Simply believing in us would not have been enough, because left to ourselves, our only potential was to go our own way and stray further away from him. So, God in his love and mercy redeemed us. By sending his only Son, he bought us back from our destiny of being sinners forever separated from him. This truth causes our Christmas joy to overflow every day of the year. In his loving kindness, the Lord has made us his people, who are given the righteousness and obedience of his Son. What’s our response to such mercy and compassion? We can join with Isaiah in saying, “I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the LORD has done for us.” Prayer: Merciful and compassionate God, I thank you for being my Savior. You have made me your child through the redemption that comes through Jesus Christ. Help me to speak of your kindness, of all that you have done for me. Amen.

    On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark Levin. ISIS has been butchering Jews and Christians across the Middle East and beyond, and the world knows it. And when President Donald Trump says that if these terrorists keep spilling innocent blood he'll strike back—he means it. No double‑talk. No hesitation. Strength. Under Trump, Americans have seen lower taxes, a stronger economy, a secure border, peace instead of endless wars, the rollback of DEI mandates, and an end to radical policies targeting children. These are facts, not fantasy. Millions of Americans are grateful for it. In addition, Affordability? Americans are better off today than they were in 2020. Tariffs, deportations, and job growth have put real money back into the pockets of working people. Is the country perfect? Of course not. People are struggling. But the nation is rising—economically, structurally, confidently. Growth averaging 4% in Trump's first year is no accident. It's leadership. The media, corrupt, hypocritical, ideologically driven, pretends none of this is happening. They distort, they smear, and they distract, but the American people see through it. That's why the left keeps losing support. Reality has a way of breaking through the noise.

A mother's pain. A daughter's courage. Volume I of From Ashes to Ascent reveals Mara's earliest years—years shaped by the shadows of World War II and the unforgiving realities of a devastated Soviet Union. Born as bombs fell and fathers disappeared, Mara grows up in poverty-stricken barracks, surrounded by hunger, cold, and cruelty. Her mother, broken by grief and loss, becomes both caregiver and tormentor—leaving Mara to navigate a childhood marked by fear, confusion, and emotional isolation. Yet beneath her frail exterior lives a fighter. Whether standing up to her mother's violence, facing the brutal cold of Kazakhstan winters, or carving out moments of joy amid deprivation, Mara discovers her inner strength long before she understands its meaning. In this gripping and emotional first volume, Amy Granit paints a vivid portrait of a girl growing up in a world where survival is an act of defiance—and hope is a victory in itself. Themes: • Post-war trauma • Childhood resilience • Soviet history & village life • Abuse, healing, and identity • The will to rise above one's circumstances

    It's been a minute.In this episode, Dusty gives a real, unfiltered update on where his journey is right now, physically, mentally, and emotionally. After years of marathon pacing, long-distance running, and living in constant training cycles, things are shifting. Recovery from skin surgery has been longer than expected. Strength has faded. Nutrition has drifted. And the old routines that once worked aren't delivering the same results anymore.Dusty talks openly about stepping away from heavy pacing schedules, why running nonstop doesn't automatically equal fat loss, and how fueling for endurance slowly pulled him back toward carbs, sugar, and constant hunger. He shares why strength training is becoming the new focus, especially after turning 40, and why learning your personal rhythm matters more than blindly following what worked before.This episode is also about uncertainty. About not having everything figured out. About navigating changing seasons, privacy on social media, shifting goals, and the reality that you can't outwork a bad diet no matter how many miles you log.If you've ever felt like what once worked suddenly stopped working, this one's for you.Because the journey doesn't end, it evolves.

When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. Matthew 1:22-25 God With Us Hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus, God spoke through the prophet Isaiah that he would be born of a virgin. God inspired the apostle Matthew to write about the fulfillment of that prophecy. Joseph had no sexual relations with Mary until Jesus was born. Joseph was not Jesus' father; God was. Isaiah said that “they will call him Immanuel”—(which means, “God with us).” The baby born of the virgin Mary is God with us—God became a human being because we are unable to save ourselves. We are unable to keep his commandments. We are unable even to do the one thing he requires of us: “Be holy” (Leviticus 19:2). The baby born of the virgin Mary is God with us—God became human to be one of us. To feel like we do. To eat and drink like we do. To walk and talk like we do. To go through what we go through. He didn’t do this because he needed to, but because we needed him to; so that “God with us” would show us that a human could do what God demanded. And so that “God with us” could suffer and die, and in doing so, pay for our sins. Since he is human, he could die. Since he is God, his payment is for all of us, for all time. Joseph gave him the name “Jesus.” His name declares his great purpose for coming from heaven to be with us on earth. He is our Savior who came to take us from earth to heaven! Prayer: Jesus, you came down from heaven to be with us. Your life and death accomplished my salvation. I worship and honor you for your great love. Come again and take me to be with you in heaven.

    Nine times we read the phrase “on that day” in just 15 verses in Zechariah 12 through to the first 2 verses of Zechariah 13. We note the prelude to these pronouncements, “Thus declares the LORD who stretched out the heavens and founded the earth and formed the spirit of man within him” [Zechariah 12:1]. These words fascinate us as a way to announce the character of God, a declaration of his absolute almightiness as the originator of all that exists.     It is the first “on that day” that has captivated the attention of believers throughout our lifetime. “On that day” we read, “I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it.”  [Zechariah 12:3] Jerusalem has been the centre of attention in the Middle East, attracting more and more the attention of the whole world since Israel became a nation again in 1948 after being “dead” since AD 70.     The USA has tried hard to “lift” the stone to solve the problem: it seems to have only made matters worse. The influences of Iran has grown greater and with the forming of the Abraham accords which has seen some Arab countries having peaceful relationship with Israel, it now seems clear that the day, maybe soon, is drawing closer. The next “on that day” is when God “will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness” [Zechariah 12:4] Today men have invented a great variety of “vehicles” to replace the horse. They get around at great speed. What is this madness? We suggest it means totally irrational behaviour in a situation which gets totally out of control.     Now notice the declaration in the next verse.      “The inhabitants of Jerusalem have strength through the LORD of hosts their God.” We are strongly inclined to believe this happens because God has poured out on “Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him they have pierced, they shall mourn …” [Zechariah 12:10]     This portrays the wonder of the return of Christ, the Jews recognise their Messiah at last; but Zechariah 13:8,9 appears to indicate they first experience a traumatic time when God will “refine them”. There is an incredible turn around of events “the LORD will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives” [Zechariah 14:4] from where Jesus ascended [Acts 1:9-12] But also “on that day there shall be a fountain opened for … the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness” [Zechariah 13:1] The most momentous climax possible

    Men's health, fitness, and longevity deserve a deeper and more honest conversation. In this episode, I sit down with Christian Palmer, a veteran bodybuilder, coach, and long-time advocate for sustainable strength and health. Drawing from decades of experience in physique development and training, Palmer shares practical insights into how men can continue to build muscle, maintain performance, and adapt their approach as they age. Our conversation addresses common but often avoided issues in men's health, including sarcopenia and erectile dysfunction. Palmer explains why these are not isolated problems, but reflections of hormonal balance, metabolic health, and lifestyle habits. We discuss the importance of consistent resistance training, adequate protein intake, and strategic hormone management to preserve strength, energy, and physical independence over time. This episode reinforces a holistic, data-driven approach to men's wellness. Beyond workouts and nutrition, we explore the value of comprehensive blood work, understanding biomarkers, and using objective data to guide decisions. Palmer emphasizes that thriving with age requires more than effort in the gym. It requires awareness, intention, and a commitment to long-term healthspan.   Key takeaways: Addressing Men's Health Concerns: Acknowledging and tackling issues like erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular health can lead to significant long-term benefits. Building and Maintaining Muscle Mass: Engaging in resistance training and focusing on compound movements is crucial for combating age-related muscle loss. Navigating Aging as an Opportunity: By understanding sarcopenia, men can leverage resistance training and proper nutrition to remain healthy and active well into their later years. Optimizing Health through Blood Work: Regular testing of biomarkers can provide critical insights that help improve lifestyle and health decisions. The Role of Testosterone: Understanding and managing testosterone levels through professional guidance can profoundly impact men's health and energy levels. More About Christian Palmer:   Christian helps men reignite their vigor, build unshakable confidence, and become the strongest version of themselves through getting lean, building muscle and conquering nutrition. With over a decade and a half of coaching and hundreds of client transformations, he specializes in guiding men to get lean, build muscle, optimize hormones, and overcome challenges like diabetes, low testosterone, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and digestive issues. His passion for men's health began when his mother was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. After helping her lose weight, reverse her condition, and eliminate the need for insulin, he committed his life to empowering others through nutrition and strength. During his years at Equinox, Christian coached countless men over 40 who battled low energy, joint pain, diminished confidence, and the pressure of providing for their families. Helping them reclaim their edge inspired him to launch Relentless Fitness and Nutrition. Bodybuilding is Christian's personal standard of excellence. It's his way of pushing his own limits and embodying the discipline and resilience that he helps men forge in their own lives. His journey serves as a model for clients who want to become the badass 2.0 version of themselves. Christian's mission is simple: help men build a body they're proud of, lead their families with strength, and live with the confidence of a man who refuses to settle.

    Pool Pros text questions hereIt's the day after Christmas, and Rudy is not here to sing carols—he's here to correct one of the most common (and most expensive) field habits in pool service: measuring dry chemicals like you're baking cookies. The “two cups equals a pound” rule gets dragged into the sunlight, and then the episode pivots into a full chemistry fundamentals reset that separates pool-water reality from industrial-label marketing.Rudy breaks down the difference between “available chlorine” and “active strength,” explains why “stronger chlorine” is a myth once it hits the water, and connects that misunderstanding to overdosing, misapplied shock treatments, and combined chlorine problems that never seem to resolve. He also lays out the most overlooked concept in pool operations: oxidation and disinfection are not the same job, don't happen on the same timeline, and don't respond the same way to “just add more chlorine.”If you've ever heard “cal-hypo is stronger,” “it's almost as strong as chlorine gas,” or “hit it with 10x and it'll break,” this episode is your reset button.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeRudy digs into the stuff that gets repeated in the industry until it sounds true:Why “2 cups = 1 lb” is a trap A pound is weight. A cup is volume. Different products—even the same chemical at the same percentage—can take up very different space depending on bulk density, granule size, moisture, and how it packs in a scoop.The only responsible way to measure dry chems A scale is the gold standard. But if you're stuck doing field conversions, Rudy explains how to use the SDS to get the one number that matters: bulk density.The correct pounds-to-cups method (no guessing, no folklore) Rudy shows the logic: convert 1 lb to grams, convert grams to volume using bulk density, then convert that volume into cups. He also explains why SDS sheets often give ranges, and why that's a red flag for “one universal scoop.”Available chlorine vs. active strength Available chlorine is a comparison metric—industrial chemistry language. Active strength is concentration—how much product you need to hit a target ppm. Mixing these concepts is where dosing myths come from.The “chlorine identity” myth Once dissolved, product identity doesn't matter the way people talk about it. Pool water doesn't contain “liquid chlorine” or “cal-hypo chlorine.” It contains free chlorine species in equilibrium, governed mainly by pH (and heavily influenced by cyanuric acid in stabilized pools).Why oxidation ≠ disinfection (and why that matters) Disinfection is a biological kill/inactivation mechanism driven largely by hypochlorous acid. Oxidation is electron-transfer chemistry attacking ammonia, urea, sweat, and organics. They don't behave the same, and more chlorine doesn't magically turn slow oxidation into fast oxidation.Why shocking can make combined chlorine look worse Rudy explains how organic nitrogen doesn't “break clean” like ammonia-based breakpoint assumptions. Sometimes adding more chlorine increases chlorinated intermediates—so CC goes up before it goes down, or never resolves the way people expect.Cyanuric acid changes the gameWhere modern systems are headedNon-chlorine oxidizers (MPS) in plain English Support the showThank you so much for listening!

What if muscle, not weight loss, is the real driver of transformation?I break down why chasing the scale backfires and how building muscle changes everything. Muscle improves metabolism, insulin sensitivity, nutrient partitioning, and how much you can eat while staying lean.

    What About Jesus? Devotions
    He Has Spoken by His Son – December 26, 2025

    What About Jesus? Devotions

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251226dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. Hebrews 1:1-2 He Has Spoken by His Son When people want to know God’s will, they often search for a voice. Some look for signs in nature, others for whispers in their hearts. Some chase after visions or dramatic experiences. But the writer to the Hebrews reminds us that we don't need to guess where God speaks. We already have his clear Word. Long ago, God spoke through prophets like Moses and Isaiah. Their words were true, and they pointed forward to something greater. All those voices prepared the way for the day when God would speak through his Son. And that day has come. In Jesus, God has spoken once for all. Do you want to know how God feels about you? Look at his Son. See Jesus reaching out to touch the untouchable leper. Hear his voice calming the fearful. Watch him carrying your sins to the cross. Listen as he cries out, “It is finished!” That is God's message to you. No uncertainty. No guesswork. God loves you, forgives you, and calls you his child. Notice also how Jesus is described. He is the heir of all things, the One through whom the universe was made. This is no ordinary messenger. When he speaks, it is not merely advice or suggestion. It is the voice of the eternal Son of God. And that means you can trust his promises with complete confidence. So, when doubts arise, when your heart longs for assurance, you don't need to wait for a special sign from heaven. You already have the greatest sign: God has spoken by his Son. Open the Scriptures. Hear him there. His Word is living and active, still speaking forgiveness and peace into your life today. Prayer: Lord Jesus, you are the final and full Word of God. When I am tempted to look elsewhere for assurance, turn me back to you. Let me rest in your promises, for in you I hear God's love loud and clear. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

These Mossad monsters, fresh off their pager terrorism, think they can off Americans and have our puppet FBI bury it like JFK— but we're ripping the veil off this demonic plot, patriots, so lock and load for the truth bomb that's gonna make these pedo-perps pay.
