Sermon Summary – Behind the Veil Part six of a prayer journey series. Focus: moving through each stage of prayer (modeled by tabernacle furniture) to reach the manifest presence of God behind the veil. Tied to the season of the Days of Awe and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). The Prayer Journey Thanksgiving (Entering the Gate) Acknowledge dependence on God. Gratitude for daily blessings builds humility and faith. Praise (The Courts) Praise God for His works in Scripture and in personal life. Strengthens confidence before making requests. Brazen Altar (Repentance) Clearing sin and disobedience—both actions committed and duties left undone. Laver (Speaking the Word) Affirming our position in Christ despite our condition. Candlestick (Holy Spirit Illumination) Welcoming the Spirit to renew the mind and guide prayer. Table of Showbread (Truth-telling with God) “Cup of coffee with God”: being fully honest—joys, anger, questions. Example: hard prayer for a loved one to be broken so they might return to God (like the prodigal son). Altar of Incense (Petition) Prayers rise as incense before God (Psalm 141, Revelation 8). Spirit-led petitions avoid selfish, flesh-driven requests. Behind the Veil (The Ark / Manifest Presence) Goal of prayer: intimacy with God, listening more than speaking. Jesus tore the veil, granting direct access—not just distant recognition but true fellowship. Lessons & Applications Manifest vs. Omnipresence: God is everywhere, but He desires to manifest Himself personally to His children. Prayer as Relationship: not “Walmart style” requests, but time invested with God. Hard Prayers: sometimes God calls us to pray for breaking, not blessing, to bring loved ones to repentance. Stillness & Meditation: modern culture overloads us with information; believers must learn to wait in silence before God. Faith & Persistence: Prayer must be effectual (energized by the Spirit), fervent (refusing to be denied), and prevailing (producing results). Biblical Anchors James 5: The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much. Ecclesiastes 5: Draw near to hear rather than offer the “sacrifice of fools.” John 14: Jesus promises to manifest Himself to those who obey His Word. Examples of persistence in prayer: Jacob wrestling, Bartimaeus crying out, the woman with the issue of blood, Zacchaeus climbing the tree. Encouragement & Call Prayer is the greatest access point of power, healing, provision, and presence available on earth. Believers are urged to: Commit more time to prayer. Enter with thanksgiving and praise. Seek not just God's hand but His face. Be patient like Job, consistent like Elijah, and persistent like the saints of old. Final invitation: Unbelievers—come to Christ today. Prodigals—return to the Father. Christians—renew prayer life and spend time behind the veil.

Using the story of “Sarah,” a mom running on empty from years of self-sacrifice, Tina unpacks how burnout, resentment, and guilt often come from ignoring our own needs.You'll discover the concept of wise selfishness—a perspective that transforms guilt into grounded self-care, boundaries into deeper love, and personal well-being into stronger family connection.If you've ever felt invisible, resentful, or guilty for saying no, this episode will help you see self-care in a new way: not as selfishness, but as the foundation of real connection.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the belief that “taking care of yourself is selfish” quietly sabotages family relationshipsHow wise selfishness (a Buddhist teaching) reframes self-care as essential to love and connectionThe generational programming that teaches women to disappear in service of othersWhat happens when you suppress your needs—and why they eventually leak out as resentment or burnoutPractical ways to start honoring your needs without losing closeness with your familyResources & Next StepsReady to go deeper?

This weekend's sermon. Integrity is the anchor of character, holding us steady when life tests our strength. Accountability may feel heavy, but it nourishes growth and keeps us honest before God and others. Honesty builds trust, not through perfection, but through consistency in even the smallest details. Forgiveness frees the heart, cleansing the past and opening the door for grace to flow. Humility shapes our actions, reminding us that strength is found in service, not in pride. Leadership is not a title but a trail of trustworthy footsteps others can safely follow. Together, integrity, accountability, humility, and forgiveness weave a legacy that points hearts toward God's truth and love.

As healthcare continues to evolve in response to post-pandemic challenges, workforce shortages, and an ongoing mental health crisis, the institutions that support the backbone of healthcare—hospitals—are under immense pressure. In Texas, where geographic and demographic diversity create unique complexities, the role of hospital associations in steering policy and support services is more vital than ever. With over 9,000 bills filed in the last legislative session, the stakes for hospitals couldn't be higher.What exactly does a state hospital association do—and how does it shape the future of healthcare access, funding, and staffing in Texas?On this episode of I Don't Care, host Dr. Kevin Stevenson welcomes John Hawkins, President and CEO of the Texas Hospital Association (THA), for an insightful conversation that breaks down the THA's multifaceted mission. From advocacy and workforce development to behavioral health infrastructure, John shares how the organization serves as a policy convener, education hub, and essential ally to hospitals across the state.Key Takeaways from the Conversation:Statewide Advocacy and Policy Development:THA represents 85% of acute care hospitals in Texas, navigating the unique needs of urban and rural institutions alike. John emphasizes the association's proactive approach to advocacy—engaging members to identify issues, form policy recommendations, and present unified solutions to the state legislature.Workforce Crisis and Pipeline Solutions:Hawkins underscores the ongoing crisis in healthcare staffing, especially nursing and allied health roles. THA is tackling this head-on by supporting performance-based funding for community colleges, promoting healthcare careers early, and expanding behavioral health workforce initiatives.Behavioral Health, Violence, and Access Challenges:With increasing demand for behavioral health services, John discusses how THA is pushing for more funding, better discharge solutions, and telehealth expansion. He also addresses workplace violence, noting THA's legislative wins in requiring hospitals to implement both preventive and reactive safety measures.John Hawkins became President and CEO of the Texas Hospital Association in January 2022, becoming only the sixth individual to lead the organization since its founding in 1930. With a background in government and public policy from the University of Texas, John spent nearly two decades leading THA's government relations team before stepping into the CEO role. His deep policy experience and commitment to healthcare advocacy have made him a pivotal voice in Texas health system strategy and reform.

My guest today, Steve Durbin, shares why empathy, agility, and resilience are vital to managing risk and keeping your organization secure. Steve shares the biggest threats to organizations right now and how empathetic leaders foster the resiliency needed to adapt. We discuss how CISO's and risk officers can create an empathetic culture where trust and transparency flow to help protect the organization. Steve shares how letting go of control can keep you safer, and how curiosity and listening help you communicate in ways people understand. He candidly shares that CEOs who don't understand empathy are a risk. And finally, Steve offers ways to balance a culture of experimentation and empowerment with effective risk management. To access the episode transcript, please scroll down below.Key Takeaways:When assessing risk, people are your greatest risk, but they are also your greatest asset and your greatest opportunity for solutions. It is not the machine or the algorithm that will solve your risk problem; it is your people. You risk losing your best people if you're not willing to adapt to what needs to be done for the best of your organization, employees, clients, and other stakeholders.
