In this beautiful and intimate conversation, Amoda Maa explores the quietness at the center of being and the deeper realization that true peace is not the absence of movement, emotion, or difficulty. Beginning with her recent writing on the quiet radiance of presence, Amoda speaks about the ways resistance, craving, avoidance, and the inner argument with life sustain the sense of a separate self. Quietness is not something we create or force. It is revealed when this inner movement begins to soften. The conversation then opens into a more personal exploration of Amoda's own awakening. She speaks about the period in which suffering became unhooked from the circumstances of her life, leading to the deeper question: What is the nature of suffering itself? Through this inquiry, she began to see the subtle movement of craving and aversion and the way the self becomes identified with inner states. Eventually, in what she describes as an "absolute stop," the familiar center of self fell away. Amoda and Kavi explore how awakening is not necessarily dramatic or extraordinary. At its heart, it is quiet. The movement of life continues, but something essential remains untouched. This is a tender conversation about suffering, surrender, direct realization, causeless joy, and the quiet radiance that shines when the self is no longer at the center.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: President Trump changes course on Iran, stepping back from additional military strikes and betting that sanctions, a naval blockade and Tehran's worsening economic crisis can finally force the regime to give in. Four people are killed after Houthi militants reportedly strike a ship carrying food supplies through the Red Sea near the strategically vital Bab al-Mandab Strait. A Syrian court sentences ousted dictator Bashar al-Assad to death in absentia for killings, torture and arbitrary arrests committed during the country's civil war. In today's Back of the Brief, surveillance drones used by British Special Forces reportedly transmit data to China, exposing a troubling vulnerability in Western military supply chains.

If it feels like everyone around you is going through some version of an ending right now… you're not imagining it. August is a 9 Universal Month in Numerology… an archetypal threshold of endings, culmination, wisdom and release before we step into the fresh 1 energy of September. In this episode, I'm talking about what to do when you know something is over… but letting go still feels terrifying. I share 3 spiritual anchors for moving through an ending: 1. Humility: getting clear on what you were wrong about, what no longer works, and what you may not actually want anymore. 2. Your Wise Self: reconnecting with the deeper part of you that knew all along and allowing that part of you to take the helm. 3. Surrender: accepting what has happened, releasing your fight with the past, and allowing Spirit to handle what was never yours to control. If you are standing at the edge of an era (grieving, scared, uncertain, or wondering what comes next) this episode is for you. You haven't lost your magic. You may simply be in the final stages of birthing a wiser version of yourself. ✨ Book with Nat: Want to understand the Numerology of the cycle you are personally moving through?

I have to tell you something that still makes me laugh a little. Over the years, Wayne Dyer has come through for me again and again. Through mediums. Through my own intuitive hits. In reading after reading. And every single time, my brain wants to go, Really? Wayne? For ME?

There are some things in our lives we simply cannot fix. But that doesn't stop us from trying. We grip tighter. We work harder. We run every scenario through our heads. We tell ourselves, “If I can just figure this out, I can make it okay.” But eventually, we have to face the truth: we were never in control to begin with. This week, Victor and I continue our Power Made Perfect series with the next step in the process of restoration: surrender. Vulnerability required the mask to die. Humility required our pride and self-sufficiency to die. Now surrender requires something else to die: Control. Last week, humility brought us to the place where we could finally admit, “I can't save myself.” But admitting we need a Savior and actually letting Him save us are two very different things. In this episode, we talk about:

Every once in a while you speak to someone whose story just shakes you to the core. Brian Pennie is a former heroin addict turned doctor of neuroscience and psychology, a lecturer at Trinity College Dublin, an author, an award-winning TV presenter, and the founder of Change is Possible. He lost 15 years of his life to addiction before a near-death seizure became the moment everything shifted — and what followed was one of the most profound awakenings I have heard anyone describe. In this conversation we talk about surrender, the fear of anxiety versus anxiety itself, breathwork as a daily practice, the paradox of connection, and what it means to find your other self through the greatest challenges of your life.I recorded this intro with an open heart and I think you will feel that as you listen.Connect with Brian:http://www.brianpennie.comhttps://www.instagram.com/brianpennie78/https://www.youtube.com/@brianpenniephd1073WORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support: https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinatriner.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinatriner.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinatriner.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinatriner.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinatriner.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinatriner.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/marinatriner/ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"I fundamentally believed I needed drugs to be able to live in the world.

He emphasizes that while struggles and anxiety are a normal part of life, believers can find peace by intentionally shifting their focus from the size of their problems to the power of God (37:56).Key principles for managing times when life feels like "too much":Admit the situation is bigger than you: Acknowledge your limitations and seek help from God and your community rather than trying to carry the burden alone (19:52, 22:04).Bring your attention back to God: Anxiety grows when we focus on problems, but peace is found by fixing our thoughts on God's character and promises (32:23, 37:39).Fill your mind with praise instead of panic: Jehoshaphat appointed singers to lead his army into battle, showing that worship can redirect the heart from fear to confidence (42:20, 42:49).Release the need to control: Surrender the pressure to manage every outcome and trust that God is working even when the way forward is not yet visible (47:24, 49:31).Show up and walk by faith: Faith is an action; we are called to move forward in obedience while trusting in God's ultimate victory (51:21, 52:44).0:00 Introduction and Announcements5:07 Introduction to King Jehoshaphat7:52 When Life Feels Like "Too Much"17:48 Fact 1: Admitting the Situation is Bigger Than You32:23 Fact 2: Bring Attention Back to God42:20 Fact 3: Fill Your Mind With Praise Instead of Panic47:24 Fact 4: Release the Need to Control49:31 Fact 5: Trust That God is Working51:21 Walking by Faith54:22 Legacy of Faithfulness57:49 Salvation and Closing Prayer

Ep 113 | Everything holds energy, your home, your relationships, and your nervous system too. Today Megan Zechel joins us to talk about healing all of it.A lot has shifted since her first visit back in episode 16. She walks us through her own divorce, an experience she calls "the unbecoming," and how it led her into the nervous system and energy work she does today. We also talk about what happens inside one of her retreats, including a Puerto Rico immersion, and how to build that same sense of safety and surrender right inside your own home.

Surrender is not about giving things up, practicing self-denial, or always accepting life’s circumstances. True surrender begins by recognizing that you are not the doer—the universe is continuously unfolding everywhere by itself: babies are being created, flowers are blooming, planets are orbiting, trillions of galaxies are spinning through space, and atoms are binding into molecules without human control. Yet we create in our minds the notion that we are the creator and controller of life. As we inwardly relax and allow reality to pass through us, we are left in such a state of peace, joy, and freedom that we naturally end up serving life instead of ourselves. © Sounds True Inc.

In this Summer Replay episode, Nicole Martin, president of Christianity Today, reflects on the vital role of preaching in shaping the church's theological vision. She discusses why faithful preaching must center on God rather than ourselves, the importance of surrender in sermon preparation, and how the cross—not performance or success—forms both pastors and congregations. The conversation offers a compelling vision of preaching that proclaims God's Word with humility, courage, and trust in his grace. Nicole also discusses themes from her book, Nailing It: Why Successful Leadership Demands Suffering and Surrender, which challenges leaders to embrace Christlike leadership through sacrifice rather than performance or worldly success. Join a CPT Cohort Program Attend the 2026 CPT Conference

What does it really mean to surrender to God? Many times we look at surrender as weakness but it's the opposite! Surrendering to God means to be faithful even when we don't understand what He's doing. Our spiritual strength is built through obedience.

There is a strong progression running through this first Colossians session: Leave the past → Surrender to Christ → Pray → Grow in God's knowledge → Walk consistently → Trust Christ alone → Reject competing philosophies → Live by faith → Accept sacrifice → Keep Christ first. Paul's message isn't merely about knowing more theology. What we believe about Christ should transform how we actually live. One-Sentence Summary Because Jesus Christ has redeemed us, reconciled us to God, and revealed the invisible God to us, we should leave our past behind, willingly surrender our lives to Him, walk consistently by faith, and choose obedience—even when following Him requires sacrifice.  

What does surrender look like when the answer you're praying for hasn't come?In 1 Samuel 1, Hannah gives us a powerful picture of biblical surrender. Her circumstances had not changed. She was still waiting, still hurting, and still without the answer she desperately wanted. Yet after pouring out her heart before God, Hannah walked away with a different posture.Surrender is what trusting God's character looks like before His providence becomes clear.In this message, we explore what Hannah teaches us about trusting the sovereignty of God, honestly bringing our pain to Him, and releasing our need to control the outcome. True surrender isn't confidence that God will give us exactly what we want—it is confidence that God will always remain who He has revealed Himself to be.We can surrender our burdens, our unanswered prayers, our fears, our families, our health, and our futures because the cross has already proven that God is worthy of our trust.Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:1–20Key thought:Your circumstances may not change immediately, but surrender changes what your heart is resting in.

But what if surrender would mean we would give up the temporary, lesser things in life to gain the eternal, superior things God has for us?Music: Bensound.com/free-music-for-videosLicense code: 1EBH3J7EM5DURCTO

Our lives are full of moments of surrender. What is a moment of surrender and to whom do we turn to find our place of standing when we don't know what to do? The prophet, poet, preacher, and singer Bono of U2 says it's this: The moment of surrender is the moment you choose to lose control of your life, the split second of powerlessness where you trust that some kind of "higher power" better be in charge, because you certainly aren't.

Summary“An Unsurpassed Opportunity” is a reminder of the incredible privilege we have as believers to communicate directly with God through prayer. Prayer is more than asking God to fix our problems. It is an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with Him, seek His wisdom, find peace, and learn to trust His direction.Submitting to God means surrendering our plans, worries, expectations, and future to Him, even when His answer doesn't look like what we expected. We may not always understand what God is doing, but we can trust that He sees what we cannot see. Through prayer, surrender, and faith, God can restore, establish, strengthen, and settle us as we continue growing spiritually.TakeawaysMake prayer your first response, not your last resort.Submission to God requires trust, especially when His answer differs from what you wanted.Prayer may not immediately change your circumstances, but it can change your heart, perspective, and response.God can use difficult seasons to strengthen your faith and deepen your dependence on Him.Prayer includes both talking to God and taking time to listen for His direction.You don't need perfect words to pray. Come to God just as you are.Surrender isn't giving up; it's giving your situation over to God.God's timing may not match yours, but you can trust that He knows what you need and when you need it.Key Points1. Prayer is a privilege.Jeremiah 33:3 reminds us that God invites us to call upon Him. We have access to God in every season of life.2. Submission means releasing control.True surrender says, “God, this is what I want, but I trust what You know.”3. Prayer produces peace.Sometimes the situation doesn't immediately change after we pray, but God gives us the strength and peace to walk through it differently.4. Difficult seasons can develop us.Challenges can teach patience, wisdom, discernment, endurance, and greater dependence on God.5. Listen as well as speak.Make room in your prayer life to ask, “Lord, what are You trying to teach me?”6. Trust God with the outcome.We don't have to understand everything to trust God. He sees the entire picture while we can only see what's in front of us.Final ReminderPray before you panic. Pray before you react. Pray while you wait. Pray when you're struggling, and pray when you're blessed.Prayer is an unsurpassed opportunity to remain connected to God. You may not know what tomorrow holds, but you can trust the One who does.

"What happens when we try to build our lives without God? Psalm 127 reminds us that our work, our homes, our families, and our plans are ultimately in His hands. We can build, work, strive, and stay busy—but unless the Lord is at the center, our efforts can leave us exhausted and empty. This Psalm invites us to slow down and recognize a simple but challenging truth: God is the One who builds the house. Psalm 127 also gives us a picture of what it looks like to trust God with the things that matter most. Our lives are not sustained by our striving, but by His provision and faithfulness. Whether we're building a family, pursuing a career, serving others, or simply trying to make it through another day, God invites us to release our need for control and trust Him. What might change if we stopped trying to build everything on our own and let God be the One who builds?"

 August 9th | Marked By Presence | Isaiah 6:1-8 What happens when you encounter Jesus in a way that is undeniable and unmistakable?In this message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz walks through Isaiah 6 and the life-changing encounter Isaiah had with the holiness, glory, and majesty of Jesus. Isaiah didn't simply learn about God—he saw Him, experienced His presence, and was marked forever.When Isaiah encountered the holiness of Jesus, he became aware of his own sin. But his encounter didn't end in condemnation. Jesus met him with mercy, forgiveness, and grace. The coal from the altar became a picture of the greater sacrifice Jesus would make hundreds of years later—leaving His throne, taking on humanity, and laying down His life so that our sins could be forgiven and atoned for.And when Isaiah encountered the majesty of Jesus and experienced His mercy, his response was simple: “Here I am! Send me.”This message challenges us to examine the things competing for our affection, attention, trust, and identity. When the idols are removed and we see Jesus for who He truly is, His presence changes us. His grace cleanses us. And His glory compels us to surrender and live on mission.Jesus wants your life to be marked by His presence.Friends may reject you. People may abandon you. Culture may cancel you. But when you get a glimpse of who Jesus is, you will never be the same.Lean into His presence. Receive His grace. Surrender to His mission.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠ 

The danger of being an "almost Christian". Almost persuaded means still not saved. Acting like a Christian, or even believing in the Bible, is not enough; Absolute Surrender is required.

I. SILENCE makes room to HEAR God.II. To RECEIVE power from God, we must first SPEND TIME with God.III. Every great act of OBEDIENCE begins with SURRENDER.

Pastor Mark Trinkl returns from sabbatical with a powerful message on surrender! Kicking off the "Restore" series, he unpacks Romans 12:1-2 and challenges us to ask: what is God asking me to surrender? From sin and unforgiveness to idols like money, career, family, health, and entertainment, Mark walks through the things we elevate above God — and invites us to lay them down. Through the parable of the sower and a moving story about a father and his daughter's pearls, he reminds us that true transformation begins with surrender.

There is a particular grief that comes with outgrowing the people who once matched your pace, and no one tells you it is allowed to hurt and be right at the same time. In this conversation, Serena Low sits down with executive coach and author Steve Barton, creator of the Game of Ten framework, to explore what happens when old friendships fall away, old certainties dissolve, and the question underneath it resurfaces — am I enough as I am, right now, before I fix any thing? Barton, who built a family flower business from $200,000 to $2 million before a mental health awakening changed the course of his life, shares the concept of compassionate detachment (which he calls Tenkaré) as a way to care fully without absorbing other people's pain, and explains why chasing perfection is, in his words, a cat chasing its own tail. This is a conversation for the reader still in the messy middle of becoming who they already are.Questions AnsweredWhat is the Game of Ten framework and what does it mean to "already be a 10"?What is compassionate detachment, and why did Steve Barton coin the word Tenkaré?Why do friendships and relationships fall away during a period of personal growth?What is the difference between letting go of a person and letting go of a thought about that person?Are introversion and extroversion fixed traits, or learned responses to early conditioning?Why does the chase for perfection never resolve?How can helpers, coaches, and therapists avoid taking on other people's pain as their own?Key TakeawaysOutgrowing someone you love does not make you disloyal. It means you grew, and the grief that comes with that is allowed to exist without being fixed.Regrets and mistakes are not identity. The exhausting work of trying to earn approval assumes the two are the same thing - they never were.Compassionate detachment is not coldness. It is the boundary that lets a coach, therapist, or caregiver keep showing up without absorbing what was never theirs to carry.Introversion and extroversion were shaped early, in what got praised and what got silenced as a child; they are not fixed at birth.Letting go is not about the person, the place, or what happened. It is about releasing the thoughts still looping about them, and doing it for yourself, not for their apology.Perfectionism has no finish line because there was never a race. Chapters (approx.)00:00 — Welcome and introduction to Steve Barton01:20 — From the family flower shop to a $2 million business04:14 — The awakening: therapy, mental health, and what changed09:05 — When growth means people fall away09:54 — The train analogy: still on board as people come and go12:41 — Introducing the Game of Ten: you are the carrot, not the stick14:59 — Why we're afraid to be loved, and how thoughts became identity21:59 — Surrender and the hardest, most freeing thing: being yourself24:26 — Introversion, extroversion, and how personality gets conditioned27:16 — Compassionate detachment and the birth of "Tenkaré"33:19 — Skill versus identity: why perfectionism never ends36:37 — Awareness as the key that unlocks the chains37:04 — Where to find Steve: website, book, and LinkedIn39:31 — Closing thoughtsAbout Steve BartonSteve Barton is an executive coach, author, and creator of the Game of Ten, an awareness-based framework that helps leaders operate with greater clarity, confidence, and performance.

Message by Arnold Camacho on August 8, 2026. What do we really owe God? Our time? Our money? Our worship? Nothing? We all have our ideas, but we don't have to guess. Jesus takes a conversation about a single coin and reveals what truly belongs to God.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me. What if life is carrying you more than you realize? This peaceful meditation helps release the need to control every outcome while cultivating trust, faith, and emotional ease. Relax into the gentle flow of life and allow yourself to be supported. Love,

Have you ever made homemade bread with yeast? How much yeast do you put in with the flour and water? Just a tiny amount. How much of a difference does the yeast make? ALL THE DIFFERENCE. As Jesus was teaching, he knew everyone listening understood this because bread wasn’t something they picked up at the grocery store. It was made every day in their homes. The women especially knew exactly what He meant. They had watched a tiny handful of yeast disappear into a massive bowl of flour, only to come back hours later and find every bit of dough changed. So Jesus said… Matthew 13:33, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.” How much of the dough was affected by only a little yeast? EVERY PART OF IT. And how many of you have personally experienced the impact of little things over your entire life? Really, that’s all of us. Looking back, we see how little things changed the entire trajectory of our lives. Sometimes that can feel overwhelming because what if you mess up that one little thing that would make all the difference? Before you get all anxious about the enormity of this – please remember your life is under the divine direction of an all-knowing God, IF you surrender to his ability to guide you exactly where you need to be. Surrender is the key. Without surrender – you’re a bowl of flour sitting flat wondering why your life isn’t rising up. I wonder if you can see how in your own life some of your biggest blessings didn’t come from one big decision you made, but a combination of tiny turns left and right with split second perfect timing. Did you do that on your own? Oh no you didn’t girl. God was leaning over the rails of heaven, watching your life with great delight, aligning things you didn’t even know to ask for, and sprinkling in a little yeast to make his good plans for you grow. And as you grew, the angels cheered! Here’s our problem – when we don’t surrender. When we think we don’t need God because we can make our own plans, force our own way, and direct the timing of it all to fit our liking. We try to make our own yeast, but guess what – YOU CAN’T. Yeast has to come from a start. And you are not that start. GOD IS! Here’s what surrender really is. It’s opening your clenched fists and saying, “God, you have permission to work anywhere you want.” IT STARTS THERE!!!!! Most of us try to first hand God one part of our lives. “God, here’s my marriage, fix this. But, don’t touch my priorities. Don’t touch my habits. God, I just want you over here.” But Jesus says the yeast doesn’t stop at one corner of the dough. It permeates every part. God loves you too much to leave any part of your life untouched. If you invite him into your marriage, he will be there – but he will also go right for YOUR HEART. All while you just want him to work on your husband’s heart, he first starts with yours. You’ve been praying for your kids, and before he works on them, he works in YOU! Sometimes I wonder if my family’s 7 year journey to healing took so long because I was delaying the work in my heart first. Which part of your life have you been asking for God to take over? You know that one very well, don’t you? Now, let me ask – which part of your life have you been holding back from God? Yeah – that one. That one that you’ve been trying to hide or excuse or separate – God says, “I WANT TO GET ALL UP IN THAT TOO!!!!!” If you surrender your life to Him, He will begin working in places you didn’t even invite Him. But my sister, you can trust him. Remember, he is for you, not against you. His plans for you are to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) In this parable, notice what Jesus doesn’t say – He doesn’t say, “The Kingdom of God is like bread.” No, he said it’s “like yeast”. There’s a difference. Yeast gets INSIDE something before it changes anything on the outside. My mama taught me how to make homemade yeast rolls as a young girl. You get the water and milk temperature just right, then you sprinkle in the tiniest amount of yeast. And then you lean in real close and you watch. Guess what – Nothing happens. You ever so gently stir in the yeast. Still nothing happens. Then you let it sit for a bit. Still nothing. Next you add in the flour and create this messy sticky dough. Nothing looks radically different. But you come back an hour later and your little ball of dough has risen ten times in size to overflow the edges of your bowl. How did it happen? Gradually from the INSIDE. That is exactly opposite of how most of us try to change. We start with the outside. • I need to lose weight. • I need to stop yelling. • I need to stop cussing. • I need to be read my Bible more. • I need to get organized. • I need to stop shopping so much. So we try harder. Jesus says, “That’s not how My Kingdom works. I don’t start by changing your behavior. I start by changing your heart.” Everything else grows from there. He isn’t trying to improve your circumstances first. He’s trying to transform you. I really don’t think God cares about the size of your butt or the jiggle of your belly. He’s not impressed by that tiny little ab you’ve been working on. Your bank account isn’t his primary concern. HE IS GOING STRAIGHT FOR YOUR HEART. Why? Because the heart is the yeast. If he changes your heart, it will affect EVERYTHING!!!! But here’s the warning – YOUR ENEMY KNOWS THIS TOO! Your enemy knows if he can make you insecure, it will affect everything. If he can twist the way you feel about yourself, he can keep you in the corner. He knows if he infects the way you think about everyone else, he can render you bitter, cynical and ineffective. Bad yeast makes bad bread sis. Check what is growing in your life! Finally, notice there’s something specific Jesus mentions in this story. He says the woman mixed the yeast into 3 measures of flour. Anytime you see something this specific, take notice – it’s a deeper lesson. Here, 3 measures of flour means about 40 to 50 pounds of flour. This large amount of flour when mixed with a little bit of east would be enough to feed a hundred people. Why would Jesus mention that detail? Because the amount is intentionally extravagant. A tiny handful of yeast transforms an enormous amount of dough. That’s the Kingdom. One life surrendered to Jesus can influence far more people than you ever imagined. One praying Mama. One teacher. One girl in the office who shares a devotional. One friend who points a hurting soul to Jesus. That’s just one little bit of Kingdom yeast. AND IT GROWS and grows and grows. Bigger and bigger and bigger. Generations are changed as a result of one surrendered life. That’s yeast! And let me tell you something, I think God wants YOU to be that surrendered life. He wants to start with YOU. His Spirit at work within you, changing you from the inside out, starting with your heart then flowing onto every area of your life, every single relationship, in every way. Imagine one day arriving to Heaven and meeting a whole line of people waiting to tell you how YOU helped them get there too. How the Jesus in you was the light showing them the way. How what God grew in you flowed over onto them and grew in them. And because of your surrender, they learned surrender, their children learned surrender, their grandchildren surrendered – and now there’s an entire corner of Heaven crowded – and it started with ONE. And that my friends, is how the Kingdom of God is – It’s like yeast. Tiny, working in unseen ways from the inside, affecting EVERYTHING!

David Waldman eruditely dumps the Friday KITM at our doorstep. They're takin yer jerbs! Ballrooms, arches, Iran, and ICE will not be making America great again. Not having a job makes buying groceries tougher. The bros over at DOGE wouldn't know that, as they just moved out of their parent's basement, and have no need for real life. 200,000 jobs in Mexico are at stake as the US suspends avocado inspections. The Trump Administration repeatedly admitted in Court to withholding money from Blue States. Yeah, sure, what are you going to do about it? Surrender is close at hand in Donald K. Trump's Iran war as his stockpile of dupes dries up. Iran could take the war to the US water supply, but who cares about that? Russia was hoping to attack NATO after the Ukraine war, but it's just taking forever. Max Miller is putting $1 million of his own money into his campaign. The only election news better than that is that the usually awful voters of Tennessee voted out their unusually awful Congressman Andy Ogles. I bet this is the worst timeline. You can now bet on arson, and childhood cancer.

Episode OverviewIn this thoughtful and grounded conversation, Amy Wheeler sits down with Marlysa Sullivan, a physical therapist, yoga therapist, and educator working within the Veterans Administration and at Notre Dame of Maryland University. Together, they explore the Niyamas from The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as living practices—less about rigid rules and more about ongoing self-inquiry, ethical reflection, and alignment in daily life.Rather than presenting the Niyamas as fixed ideals, this episode invites a more nuanced approach: one that considers context, relationship, and the evolving nature of what it means to act with integrity. The conversation weaves together classical yoga philosophy, modern clinical experience, and real-world application, offering a grounded pathway for both practitioners and clinicians.Key Themes ExploredEthics as a Living Inquiry Ethical practice is not static. Marlysa emphasizes that what is “right” depends on context, relationship, and discernment. This requires ongoing reflection: What is most relevant, kind, and supportive in this moment?Śauca (Clarity and Inner Cleanliness) The discussion reframes purity away from moral judgment and toward clarity. Rather than “fixing what is wrong,” the practice becomes one of noticing what clouds perception—habit patterns, past impressions, and emotional residue—and gently clearing space for more skillful action. Santoṣa (Contentment as Stability and Action) Contentment is explored as a steady inner ground, not passivity. True contentment allows for both acceptance and meaningful action. The conversation highlights the balance between deficiency (chronic dissatisfaction) and excess (avoidance or spiritual bypassing).Tapas (Right Effort and Friction for Growth) Tapas is described as the willingness to meet discomfort in service of transformation. It is the moment where inner clarity meets outward action—often requiring courage to move beyond familiar patterns.Svādhyāya (Self-Study and Honest Reflection) The practice of self-study calls for humility and relational support. Amy and Marlysa emphasize the importance of trusted relationships that can reflect blind spots and support deeper self-awareness.Īśvara Praṇidhāna (Surrender and Letting Go of Outcome) Surrender is presented as an essential counterbalance to effort. One does the work with integrity, then releases attachment to results. This is especially relevant in complex systems, where control is limited and trust becomes necessary.Integrating Kriyā YogaThe final three Niyamas—Tapas, Svādhyāya, and Īśvara Praṇidhāna—are explored as Kriya Yoga, a practical pathway for transformation.Together, they form a cycle:Act with intentionReflect with honestySurrender the outcomeThis dynamic process supports both personal growth and therapeutic presence.Clinical and Real-World ApplicationDrawing from her work in the Veterans Administration, Marlysa highlights how these teachings translate into practice:Healing is not one-size-fits-all; each individual responds differentlyCuriosity supports humility and clinical effectivenessRelationship and co-reflection are essential for growthYoga therapy must move beyond biomechanics to include meaning, perception, and lived experienceThe conversation reinforces that how we approach a simple movement—like stretching a hamstring—often reflects how we approach life itself.Practical ReflectionFor those beginning to work with the Niyamas:Start with the one that feels most relevant or meaningfulReflect on where you tend toward excess or deficiencyUse curiosity as a guide rather than judgmentEngage trusted others in your process of reflectionClosing InsightThis episode reframes ethics not as obligation, but as an enlivening and relational practice. When approached with curiosity and sincerity, the Niyamas become a guide for living with clarity, integrity, and connection—to oneself and to others.Learn MoreVisit Marlysa Sullivan: www.marlysasullivan.comExplore the foundations in The Yoga Sutras of PatanjaliContact Amy Wheeler:www.TheOptimalState.com Optimal State App for iPhone:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/optimal-state/id1604424804 The Yoga Therapy Hour Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yoga-therapy-hour-with-amy-wheeler/id1564687158 School of Integrative Health at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool Our new book-  https://www.amazon.com/Applying-Therapeutic-Yoga-Integrative-Health/dp/1032888628/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1RFZ3L5MCCNPH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.I7harQDOLulfRbd3dx2vVa5VUZa840PHcWB7dDiT3_bB2nravzO7_9Xs9shMhcy2Iwu0wtTA1PxeUG4TTugEQJuK_OEpvzQ-OyVvtsUkXsc.ViqLrL-EQPX7s09wZF6_2eCpLCimHa7Ohfbw-F7Yuk4&dib_tag=se&keywords=applications+in+therapeutic+yoga+wheeler&qid=1775224796&sprefix=applications+in+therapeutic+yoga+wheele%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1

Faithful Through Betrayal: Love, Loyalty, and the New Commandment – John 13:18–38 In Episode 146 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through John 13:18–38, where the final hours before the cross reveal both the beauty of Christ's love and the heartbreak of human failure. Jesus foretells Judas' betrayal, predicts Peter's denial, and gives His disciples a new commandment that will forever define His followers: "Love one another as I have loved you." Together, they explore how Jesus responded to betrayal with compassion, why our identity is rooted in Christ rather than our failures, and what it truly means to love others with the same grace we've received. Even in the face of rejection and abandonment, Jesus remained faithful to His mission—and He invites us to do the same. This episode is a powerful reminder that while people may disappoint us, Jesus never will. His love is stronger than betrayal, His grace is greater than our failures, and His call to love remains at the center of the Christian life. How can I reflect the love of Jesus toward someone who has hurt me, disappointed me, or failed me? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

What does real faith look like? In this message, Josiah Schwab explores the relationship between Jonathan and David to reveal a powerful truth: faith begins with surrender, and surrender begins discipleship. Jonathan was the rightful heir to Israel's throne, yet he willingly laid down his robe, armor, and future before God's anointed king. His story challenges us to ask a difficult question: What am I still holding onto that belongs to Jesus? Whether you're wrestling with salvation for the first time or learning what it means to follow Christ more deeply, this message reminds us that discipleship isn't a one-time decision—it's a daily surrender. Key Scriptures: 1 Samuel 18:1–4 1 Samuel 20:30–33 Matthew 10:37 John 3:30 Faith begins in surrender, and surrender begins discipleship.   From Sunday 07.19.26

Why Each Step Must Come in Order Kristen is careful to note that surrender often comes too quickly. Awareness Is the Entry Point to Overcome Exhaustion Realignment begins with self-awareness.

Forgiveness as a Key to Overcome Emotional Exhaustion Both Robyn and Kristen speak openly about the role of forgiveness in restoration.
