Bible Reading: Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:8-14Iris pointed to an oak tree along the bike path where she was riding with her dad and her brother, Ethan. "Half the leaves on that tree are green, and half are brown!" she said. Ethan laughed. "I guess it can't decide whether it's spring or fall." Dad stopped his bike under the tree. "Those brown leaves are left over from last year," he said. "This kind of oak is very unwilling to let its leaves drop in the fall. Even the strong winds and heavy snowfall of winter are often unable to tear them from the branches.""Well, the tree would look nicer if it would just let those ugly, useless old leaves drop," said Iris. "Maybe the tree is a lot like us," said Dad. "Sometimes we cling to ugly things too--like sinful thoughts and actions.""Like calling people bad names," said Ethan. "You do that, Iris."Iris sighed "I know," she said, "but at least I don't go around pointing out other people's faults and ignoring my own." She frowned at her brother. "Okay, I admit it," said Ethan. "I don't know why I always notice the mistakes others make more than the good stuff they do."As they got back on their bikes, Iris asked, "What makes those brown leaves finally fall? I know they don't stay on the tree all summer.""When new leaves grow and cover the tree, they push the old ones off," replied Dad. "The old ones must give way to the new--and you know what? Our lives as Christians are like that too. The Bible says our old habits and desires are sinful, like dead leaves. But when we trust in Jesus, the Holy Spirit changes us into new creations and puts His love and desires in our hearts, like fresh leaves in the spring.""So we want the new leaves in our lives to push off the dead ones?" asked Iris.Dad nodded. "The tree grows new leaves by giving more energy and nutrients to the new growth," he explained. "And Jesus gives us the power to let go of our old ways and live in a way that shows others the new life we have in Him." –Trudy Vander Veen How About You?Are there sins or bad habits in your life that you can't seem to get rid of? We all have "dead leaves" like that, but Jesus offers forgiveness and hope. He's given us the Holy Spirit so we have the power to replace those dead things with words and actions that bring life. Trust Him to help you let go of old habits and live the new life of love He's given you. Today's Key Verse:But on your new nature, created to be like God--truly righteous and holy. (NLT) (Ephesians 4:24)Today's Key Thought:Live your new life in Jesus
Send us a textStep back in time to the vast, untamed expanse of 1867 Kansas, where the nearest neighbor might be half a day's ride away and survival demanded extraordinary grit. Through the eyes of Civil War veteran Elias Thorne, we uncover the raw, unfiltered reality of frontier life that exists beyond the romantic myths and simplified histories.The Kansas prairie tested human endurance to its limits. From carving homes literally from the earth—the legendary "soddy" with its mud-dripping ceilings and unwelcome snake visitors—to the backbreaking labor of breaking virgin prairie soil with primitive tools, nothing came easy. We explore how settlers like Elias faced relentless environmental challenges: howling blizzards that imprisoned homesteaders for days, devastating prairie fires that could destroy everything in minutes, and the constant psychological weight of profound isolation.What makes this journey particularly compelling is witnessing how Thorne's personal struggle unfolded against the backdrop of momentous historical shifts. The Kansas Pacific Railway pushed westward, forever altering the landscape. The Medicine Lodge Treaty negotiations attempted to reshape relationships with Plains tribes like the Cheyenne and Comanche, whose entire way of life faced existential threat. These weren't distant headlines for frontier settlers but immediate realities that shaped their daily existence.The heart of this story isn't about conquest or heroics, but about quiet endurance—the day-by-day perseverance required to transform "free land" into a sustainable home through ingenious adaptation and stubborn determination. Whether it's rationing dwindling firewood during a multi-day blizzard or carefully preserving every scrap of food for the lean months ahead, we witness the extraordinary resourcefulness that frontier survival demanded.What modern frontiers do we face today that require similar resilience? Where do we need that same adaptability and grit in our own lives? Join us for this immersive journey into America's past that reveals timeless truths about human endurance against seemingly impossible odds.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

In this sermon, Karl Ihfe begins a new series called "The Heart of a King," focusing on David's life and what made him "a man after God's own heart" (Acts 13:22). He emphasizes that while David was gifted in many ways, it was his heart that drew God to him. Karl highlights three key characteristics of David's heart: 1. Wild abandon to God: David worshipped with unbridled passion, as seen in his dancing before the Ark (2 Samuel 6). 2. Deep reflection: David spent time alone with God, pondering and considering, as evidenced in many Psalms (e.g., Psalm 139:23-24). 3. Stubborn love: David loved persistently, even towards those who wronged him, like Saul and Absalom. Karl encourages the congregation to cultivate these heart qualities, reminding them that God looks at the heart, not outward appearances (1 Samuel 16:7). https://bwaychurch.org

The emotional journey of downsizing after decades in the same home presents unique challenges that go far beyond simple real estate transactions. What happens when cherished memories, comfortable routines, and fierce independence collide with the practical realities of aging?Our fascinating conversation with Josh Wapshot reveals the delicate art of helping long-term homeowners transition to their next chapter. We unpack the psychology behind resistance ("You're only going to take me out of here in a box") and the surprising sense of relief many experience once they've made the move ("Oh my God, thank God we did that"). Size concerns naturally dominate initial discussions, as clients worry about trading spacious family homes for apartment living. But there's so much more to consider: strata costs that seem daunting until compared with ongoing home maintenance expenses; the increasing importance of accessibility features as mobility decreases; and the thoughtful process of "future-proofing" new homes with modifications like replacing sharp handles with pull drawers.Perhaps most interesting is why many seniors actively choose apartments over retirement villages. Asset protection plays a role, but equally important is the desire to maintain vibrant, independent living among diverse neighbors rather than age-segregated communities. And for couples, there's often the touching motivation to ensure the surviving partner won't face this challenging transition alone.Connect with us to learn how we take a patient, educational approach to guiding downsizers through what may be their final home purchase. With the right support, downsizing can transform from a dreaded necessity to an exciting new chapter with less maintenance, greater accessibility, and a home that truly supports this important life stage.

You've seen the headlines, the ads, the promises of shrinking your waist overnight… but what's actually true? In this episode, we're unpacking the myths, the marketing, and the real science behind what's going on with that stubborn midsection.Here's what you'll learn:The surprising truth about what belly fat really means for your healthWhat to know before spending money on trending supplements and fat-burning productsHow everyday habits may be affecting your midsection more than you thinkIf you're feeling overwhelmed by the noise, this episode will bring some clarity—and maybe even a little relief.References: Beneficial effects of Apple Cider Vinegar on weight management, Visceral Adiposity Index and lipid profile in overweight or obese subjects receiving restricted calorie diet: A randomized clinical trial - ScienceDirect
Nailing your training but can't shift those stubborn kilos? Maybe you’re battling gut issues despite a dialled-in nutrition plan or even dragging yourself through sessions after a solid 8 hours sleep. If this sounds all too familiar, it might be that your thyroid has been flying under the radar. As a sports dietitian, I'm seeing more triathletes pushing through these warning signs – constant fatigue, resistant weight, bloating, and mysterious gut problems – not realising there's a tiny butterfly-shaped gland in their neck calling the shots. Thyroid health isn’t my area of specialty so today I’m joined by Registered Dietitian and Functional Practitioner, Alisha Knicely, to talk about about how this powerful gland affects everything from your race-day performance to your Monday morning motivation. Diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disease in 2017, Alisha’s drive to understand what was happening in her body was a turning point in her career. She now specialises in Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism and helps her clients to reverse the symptoms of thyroid dysfunction. The Performance Powerhouse You're Overlooking Your thyroid is your body's metabolic control centre. It regulates your heart rate, energy levels, and even how quickly you bounce back from those brutal brick sessions. For triathletes pushing their bodies to the limit, optimal thyroid function isn't just helpful – it's essential. The Nutrient Trifecta Want your thyroid firing on all cylinders? You need three key players: iodine, selenium, and zinc. But here's the catch – more isn't always better. Like race-day nutrition, it's about getting the balance right. Strategic food choices like seafood, organ meats, and nuts can deliver these nutrients without the risks of over-supplementation. Red Flags You Can't Ignore If you're experiencing: - Unexplained fatigue despite proper rest - Stubborn weight changes - Slower recovery between sessions - Mood swings affecting your training drive It's time for a proper thyroid assessment. Don't guess – get tested. A comprehensive blood panel including TSH, T3, T4, and thyroid antibodies will tell you exactly where you stand. The Overtraining Connection Think you can push through anything? Think again. Excessive training without proper recovery can throw your thyroid into chaos. Those sleepless nights and persistent fatigue aren't badges of honour – they're warnings that your body needs a different approach. Your Action Plan for Optimal Thyroid Function Fuel Smart: Focus on nutrient-dense whole foods that support thyroid function Guard Your Gut: Your thyroid depends on proper nutrient absorption Manage Stress: Yes, that includes training stress – more isn't always better Beyond the Basics Living with a thyroid condition doesn't mean hanging up your tri suit. Whether you're managing Hashimoto's or just optimising your performance, it's about working with your body, not against it. Regular monitoring and professional guidance can keep you racing strong.

Welcome back to the Identity Theft Resource Center's Weekly Breach Breakdown – supported by Sentilink. I'm James Lee, the ITRC's President and this is the episode for May 2nd, 2025. Future U.S. president John Adams was defending British soldiers accused of opening fire on protesters in what would become known as the Boston Massacre before the American Revolution. In his defense, which was successful, he wrote: “Facts are stubborn things.” As was true in 1770, is still true today.

You can be saved — but still stubborn.

If you feel stuck, frustrated, or distant from God's call, this episode will help you take bold steps toward freedom and full obedience.

Rev 8-9 Stubbornness is a quality that many of see in ourselves, or perhaps in the lives of our family members! Unfortunately, being stubborn often leads to pain and destruction. In this sobering portion of the book of Revelation we see God's judgment being poured out. And yet, people will still refuse to repent in that terrible day! We are currently living during a time of God's mercy. So, as we look at God's judgment on sin, let's thoughtfully consider whether we too are failing to submit to God.

It seems nothing brings Assembly Speaker Robin Vos more joy than standing in the way of helping working families (no really, he's happy to do it). Next, we hear all the time how The Felon President and his cohorts love kids and want to protect kids and want to nurture the kids, which is great, but why would you cut very important programs which would do all of that?

We've all been hit by it. It seemingly comes out of nowhere—a misunderstanding or argument we never saw coming. One moment you're having a discussion, the next you're blindsided by resistance, vitriol, or passive-aggressive blowback. Where did it come from? Why did something small suddenly feel so personal? Here's the truth: it's rarely about the thing—it's about what the thing represents. Control. Trust. Identity. Relevance. Fear. A loss of autonomy. There's always something else simmering under the surface. And if you want to be effective in high-stakes conversations or high-pressure environments, you have to be able to read those underlying signals, not just bulldoze with logic. In this episode Brett unpacks exactly how to do that and covers: How to diagnose the real reason behind someone's resistance Why linking your message to their character is more effective than chasing compliance How to foster autonomy by making it feel like their idea Why perception, not logic, is the real engine of influence and leadership What drives people to defend their identity and internal narrative at all costs
Alan takes a trip down memory lane, revisiting "The Scallion," a satirical dental news project he and colleagues created (inspired by The Onion) back in the Dental Hacks era (circa 2017-2018). In this episode, Alan reads several archived "Scallion" articles, finding they still hold up with humor poking fun at: Aggressive sales reps at dental meetings. Dentists avoiding shop talk at parties. Exaggerated links between periodontal disease and other health issues. Hilariously inaccurate dental stock photography. The shocking revelations that can come with using dental loupes for the first time. Over-the-top (and potentially condescending) marketing advice. The classic "I hate dentists" patient comment. Stubborn dentists arguing online. We don't laugh at the profession enough. This should help!

Dealing with stubborn belly fat after 40 is reality for many women. It may happen in your 40s, 50's, 60s or even 70s. And no one… not even an 87 yo likes it. My guest reminded me there is no “pre” … there is diabetes. So let that be a wake up call. We can't control aging. We can over control carbs to the point blood sugar levels spike. You heard that right. We can fast so long blood sugar levels spike. Learn more surprising insight inside this episode. Stay to the end for an invite to a free summit coming up regarding blood sugar levels too. My Guest: Dr. Nana Ama Quansah is a Root Cause Care Practitioner, Pharmacist, and Blood Sugar Optimization Expert dedicated to helping high-achievers reclaim their energy, focus, and health. As the founder of Ditch Diabetes Academy, she empowers individuals to stabilize blood sugar and put type 2 diabetes in remission without restrictive diets or overwhelm through her international online programs. With a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and experience spanning Fortune 500 healthcare companies, hospitals, and personalized coaching, Dr. Nana bridges the gap between conventional medicine and root-cause healing. She's been featured on global podcasts and international TV, sharing insights on reversing blood sugar imbalances naturally. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:22] Why does blood sugar matter (even if you're not diabetic)? [00:08:55] What are the hidden signs of blood sugar imbalance women should watch for? [00:12:42] What are some so-called 'healthy habits' that backfire and make blood sugar issues worse? [00:16:20] What's going on under the surface? [00:21:49] Why do we need to go deeper with comprehensive functional testing? [00:26:39] What are the simple shifts for better blood sugar balance to help them now if they feel stuck. Unlocking the Blood Sugar Connection to Stubborn Belly Fat After 40 Blood sugar affects every system in the body—brain function, muscle energy, mood, and sleep. Daily spikes in blood sugar can cause fatigue, cravings, and brain fog—even in "healthy eaters." Common Hidden Signs of Blood Sugar Imbalance Afternoon energy crashes Cravings Brain fog Poor sleep Mood swings Hormonal shifts (especially around menopause or PCOS) These symptoms are the body's “whispers” that something's off. Healthy Habits That Might Be Hurting You Skipping meals or prolonged fasting can worsen hormonal imbalance. Drinking coffee without food increases cortisol and leads to crashes later. Low-carb diets can backfire by raising stress and depriving your gut of fiber-rich, insulin-balancing foods. Eliminating carbs without strategy = increased cravings, mood issues, and stalled fat loss. What Actually Helps Stabilize Blood Sugar Eat a protein-rich breakfast—especially before coffee. Focus on fiber-rich carbs like veggies, nuts, chia, and flax instead of slashing carbs. Don't ignore stress and sleep—they're as important as food. Aim for balance, not restriction. Key Takeaways: Blood sugar imbalance is common and sneaky—even in women without diabetes. Listening to your body is the first test—trust what it tells you. Insulin resistance is the doorway to metabolic issues—even if you're just in the “pre-diabetic” zone. Blood sugar dysfunction affects belly fat, energy, brain clarity, and long-term health.
