Where are you giving your power away—and how can you take it back? In this powerful solo episode, our very own Jessica Gill explores one of the most foundational themes in manifestation: maintaining self-worth in the in-between. She explores why self-doubt often shows up as the “final boss” before your next level, how the uncomfortable middle ground is actually preparing you to hold the new, and the small ways you can build confidence by showing up for yourself daily. From unblocking hidden fears of unlikability to shifting perfectionism into self-compassion, this conversation will remind you that your power and magic have been with you all along, and even the most challenging moments serve as an initiation to meet them.Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: HOW TO MANIFEST by Lacy Phillips (with exercises by Jessica Gill) Coming October 21st!Pre-Order NOW Join the Pathway MembershipUse code EXPANDED for 20% off your first month!Join our membership to access the TBM Money Challenge Now Live!

Life today is overflowing with constant noise and endless responsibilities — from work demands to family schedules, to the never-ending stream of emails and notifications. It’s easy to feel stretched too thin, constantly pulled in competing directions. In today's devotional and prayer, Heidi Vegh reminds us that the key to balance isn’t found in managing every detail perfectly, but in surrendering our days to God. Matthew 6:33 calls us to seek first His Kingdom — to make God our priority before anything else. When we start our mornings with Him, we allow His Spirit to order our steps, giving us peace in the middle of chaos. Balance doesn’t mean doing everything; it means doing the right things, with God’s guidance. Sometimes His answer may be to rest instead of striving, to connect with a friend instead of checking one more task off the list. When we make room for holy interruptions, we find the kind of balance our souls truly crave. Today's Bible Reading: “But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His Kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right attitude and character of God), and all these things will be given to you also.” – Matthew 6:33 (AMP) Key Takeaways Balance begins with priorities — seeking God first each day. Surrendering control allows God to redirect our days according to His will. The Holy Spirit provides gentle nudges and guidance when we feel overwhelmed. True balance comes not from doing it all, but from living aligned with God’s purposes. Let’s Pray Lord, life is busy and overwhelming, and I need balance. I surrender my plans, to-do lists, and ideals into Your hands. Guide me with Your Spirit, reminding me to start each day with You. Show me what to lay down, what to pick up, and how to create space for rest. Thank You for caring about every detail of my life and for promising to order my steps when I seek You first. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Start your morning tomorrow with a Scripture reading and prayer before touching your phone. Ask God throughout the day: “What’s the next right thing?” and trust His nudge.

The "Digging Deeper" series is category of episodes on CC Podcast: Conversations where CC Broadcast Radio Preacher, Tim Boettger, further discusses topics and ideas raised during his radio sermons, but in a conversational interview format. As you'll notice, the title of each episode mirrors the title of the radio sermon on the CC Broadcast that it corresponds with. It is our hope that these supplemental conversations will help listeners grow even deeper in their Christian faith and their understanding of God's Word than is possible by only listening to a sermon.Here are links to the two CC Broadcasts (audio) featuring the two parts of the message referenced in this conversation:Part 1: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/a99c9703-7d88-4510-9658-efbd5be94230/Part 2: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/7993090b-bc6b-4f3a-b34f-bfab0315a683/Here is a link to the video of the same message, from Nazareth Church's website: https://vimeo.com/1101310290?fl=pl&fe=vlHere's a link to the CC Podcast: Conversations episode featuring Sarah Buzynski and LifeWise Academy, which was referenced multiple times in this conversation: https://youtu.be/9XJKUwliVgUFor more information about Christian Crusaders, the ministry under which CC Podcasts are produced: Conversations is produced, visit https://christiancrusaders.org.Also, check out our other podcasts:To listen to The CC Podcast: Daily Dose Devotions, where we're currently going through an overview of the Bible, click here: https://christiancrusaders.org/ccpod-daily-doseTo listen to our weekly radio broadcast, The CC Broadcast, which has aired since 1936, and which features a 30 minute worship service, including music and preaching, click here: https://christiancrusaders.org/the-cc-broadcastTo listen to Homer Larsen Live, an archive of Pastor Homer Larsen's sermons preached live at Nazareth Church, click here: https://christiancrusaders.org/homer-larsen-live (Pastor Larsen was radio preacher for CC for over 50 years, and also served as Senior Pastor at Nazareth -- many of his radio broadcasts, dating back to the early 2000s, are archived on The CC Broadcast, but this set of sermons are the ones he preached live from the pulpit.)Thanks to Terri, our intro/outro announcer!Music by Lesfm from Pixabay

Listen to the message Surrendering Body, Soul, and Spirit from the message series Wholeness in Christ by Ptr. Rúben Faria.
Send us a textSurrender rarely feels natural. It runs counter to our cultural values of independence and self-determination. Yet paradoxically, it sits at the very heart of authentic Christian discipleship.In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore what God truly expects from His followers. The answer is both simpler and more demanding than most realize: complete surrender. Not partial commitment. Not weekend worship. Not Christianity-as-a-supplement to our pre-existing life plans. But a total reorientation of our desires, ambitions, and identity.This surrender begins with death—the death of our autonomous self that runs on its own desires and seeks its own glory. As Jesus taught, unless you deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Him, you cannot be His disciple. These aren't merely poetic words but a radical call to let our old self be crucified so Christ might live through us.We wrestle with challenging questions: How do we discern between our desires and God's desires? Why do we often wait for better circumstances before being obedient? What's the difference between a Sunday attender and a true disciple? Drawing from powerful biblical examples like Gideon, we discover how God wants to transform what we have—our apartments, jobs, relationships, skills—into altars for His purposes.Most profoundly, we confront the uncomfortable truth that what we're unwilling to surrender is precisely what stands between us and spiritual growth. The areas we grip most tightly are exactly where God is working. When we loosen our hold on our expectations and embrace His, we discover a life infinitely more meaningful than anything we could design ourselves.This isn't prosperity gospel. God's plan might not include health, wealth, or comfort. But it does promise something greater: the privilege of participating in His redemptive work and experiencing the true life we were created for.

Welcome back to another EFT replay tapping session on the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! This replay comes from when I did 100 Days of EFT tapping on my Instagram page. If you need a visual link the original EFT tapping session will be in the show notes below. This replay is all about "Surrendering to the Now"—a theme that's both challenging and deeply transformative. I dive into what it really means to accept the present moment, drawing on insights from Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now and Kyle Cease's teachings, and shares how surrendering doesn't mean giving up; it's about facing reality as it is and choosing your next step from a place of clarity. Whether you're new to EFT or looking for a quick, impactful reset, this "tapping on the go" session is designed to help you release resistance and make space for what's next. Grab a quiet spot, get comfy, and let's get started! So, sit back, follow along, and let's dive into this transformative EFT tapping experience.

We often speak of surrender as a spiritual goal, but what if our bodies are still holding the opposite story? What if the part of us that's trying to let go is still entangled in old patterns of control, responsibility, and over-care? Cheryl is here with us today. She's been doing deep inner work for years: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. And yet, she finds herself in a familiar energetic loop, especially around her son. She's longing to surrender more fully to the divine flow of life, but something in her body is still holding on. As we drop into her field, we discover how early-life patterns of caretaking and codependency created a dynamic where control became a substitute for power, and how those old survival strategies are still shaping her present. In this episode, we explore how energetic imprints from childhood shape our adult experience, how the lower chakras hold the key to true empowerment, and how healing requires us to come back into the body; not just the mind or spirit. If you've been asking how to trust more deeply, stop fixing others, and live from your own grounded presence, I hope this episode supports you in finding your own path back to inner power.

WRITER, MYSTIC, CREATIVE, SPIRITUAL MENTOR Throughout my life I have been guided by the warrioress archetype, an independent female spirit whose primary purpose is to achieve freedom and sovereignty of her life. This was not always a conscious endeavor for me, yet she pulled at my heart and led me on adventures far and wide and wild. She has taught me to live by spirals and wheels and cycles. To live each day as a ritual, knowing that I am the source of my life. Everything comes FROM me and that my obstacles are actually the path to living an even greater and wilder existence. She has shown me that true LEADERS rally for and with life, not against it. So, now I live in devotion to a higher standard of ALIVENESS for us all.

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Creating Better Habits for a Better Marriage: Michael's Story You love your wife. You love your family. And you'd do anything for them. But if you're honest… things don't feel quite the same as they used to. Maybe you're exhausted from work, the baby, or the endless list of responsibilities. Maybe your evenings with your wife now look more like two roommates collapsed on the couch—silent, tired, and just hoping tomorrow will be better. That's exactly where Michael found himself. A good man. A loving husband. A dad who adored his toddler son. And yet—he noticed the spark in his marriage was fading. Instead of ignoring it, he made a decision that changed everything. And maybe that's where you are today. Masculinity Reclaimed Foundations for Lasting Change Michael wasn't looking for fluff. He wasn't looking for self-help tricks that sound nice but fall flat. He wanted something biblical. Something that honored God's design for intimacy. Something practical enough to implement while juggling fatherhood and career. That's when he discovered Masculinity Reclaimed Foundations. From the very beginning, he noticed it wasn't complicated. Daily gratitude. Encouraging words. Apologies when needed. Intentional listening. Simple? Yes. Easy? Not always. But transformational? Absolutely. Michael said it “sparked something new.” He began noticing his wife respond in ways she hadn't before. Even more surprising—she started picking up the same habits he was practicing, without ever being taught them directly. One morning, while out on a walk, she said, “I forgot to write my gratitudes today.” Michael was stunned. Gratitudes were part of his new daily rhythm—something the program had challenged him to do. He hadn't even invited her into it. But she saw his consistency, and she was inspired to follow. That's the power of godly leadership. Christian Marriage Intimacy That Transforms Daily Life Michael realized intimacy was about more than the physical. Yes, God designed sex as a beautiful, holy gift—but intimacy starts long before the bedroom. When a wife feels safe, known, and wholeheartedly cherished, her heart opens. That's the essence of Christian marriage intimacy: a holistic connection that touches body, soul, and spirit. For Michael, it meant slowing down. Looking his wife in the eye. Really listening when she spoke—not just nodding while his mind wandered. Offering compliments, even when it felt small. Expressing love, even in the middle of an ordinary day. And the results? Their evenings shifted. Instead of collapsing into silence, they began talking again. Laughing again. Rebuilding the kind of bond that made marriage joyful instead of draining. Maybe that's what's missing in your marriage. Maybe you're craving closeness but don't know where to start. Michael would tell you—start small. Gratitude. Encouragement. Listening. And watch how God multiplies it. Christian Husband Leadership That Inspires Your Wife Here's the truth: someone has to go first. Too many men wait, hoping their wives will change before they do. But waiting is not leadership. Michael discovered that a Christian husband's leadership is about modeling the very change you want to see. Choosing gratitude when negativity feels easier. Speaking life instead of criticism. Creating joy where tension used to rule. Surrendering pride in order to serve. And his wife responded. Not because he pressured her. Not because he demanded it. But because love that reflects Christ is contagious. Friend, this is the hard but freeing truth: leadership begins with you. Your wife may or may not immediately change. But your consistent obedience to Christ's call—to love your wife as He loved the church—will never return void. Marriage Transformation Stories That Stir Hope When Michael first joined the program, he rated his marriage a 7 or 8 out of 10. Good. Steady. But he knew something was missing. After stepping into these practices, his wife said something that stopped him in his tracks: “This has been transformational for our marriage.” That's not just improvement. That's restoration. And Michael's story isn't unique. Week after week, we hear marriage transformation stories from men all over the world—young dads, empty-nesters, husbands married for two years or fifty. The common thread? They chose to lead with love. To step into accountability. To embrace God's way, not culture's distortions. And God met them there. If He can do it for Michael, He can do it for you. Final Thoughts Let me ask you directly: where is your marriage today? Maybe it feels “good but not great.” Maybe the spark is gone, and you're worried what things will look like in five or ten years. Maybe you're exhausted from parenting and silently grieving the closeness you once had. Friend, you don't have to settle. Michael didn't. And the best part? His wife followed his lead without him ever asking her to. That's what happens when a man chooses to be the first one to change. Michael made a decision. He chose to take a step forward. And it began with one simple action: a conversation. That's where you can begin, too. With love, The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - Are you ready to take the next step in improving your marriage? We are here for you! Schedule a free Clarity Call and take the first step to transforming your marriage. PPS - Here is a quote from (another) recent graduate: "Our marriage was doomed to fail if we continued with the same unhealthy patterns that we had been using for years. This was a very hard process of self evaluation. My relationship with God was put at the top of my list for each day and I was able to start to feel connected to Him again and have loved being in the word. I also realized that I was taking myself and life way too seriously and have had to force myself to be more playful which has helped to keep the mood in our relationship more fun and light."
In this heartfelt conversation, Jordan Lee Dooley sits down with her friend Tara Sun to talk about the deeper cost of always doing “one more thing.” Drawing from Tara's new book, Overbooked and Overwhelmed, they explore the subtle signs of burnout, the physical toll of stress, and the invitation to slow down and reorder life with God at the center.What You'll Learn:The moment Tara realized her packed schedule was actually a spiritual red flagWhy Christians often overlook emotional and physical health in the name of “soul care”How hustle culture masks itself as faithfulness or obedienceWhat holistic, sustainable wellness really looks like for Christian womenHow to tell the difference between a full plate and an overwhelmed spiritSimple rhythms that help restore presence, peace, and purposeWant to dig deeper into this topic?

In this episode, Kreed Revere discusses the illusion of control in relationships, particularly between estranged parents and their adult children. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between control and care, and how surrendering to the unpredictability of relationships can lead to personal growth and healing. Kreed offers practical advice for listeners on how to navigate their emotions and foster healthier connections with their loved ones.TakeawaysReleasing control can be the most loving action for both parents and children.Control often stems from fear and a desire to avoid pain.Surrendering is not about giving up, but about choosing presence over pressure.Letting them be does not mean you stop caring; it means you respect autonomy.www.TheEstrangedHeart.comEmail: hello@TheEstrangedHeart.comWork with Kreed: https://theestrangedheart.com/services(private coaching, mediation, support groups, webinars, etc.)THE HEART COLLECTIVEEstranged Moms ONLY - https://theheartcollective.app.clientclub.net/communities/groups/estranged-momsReconciled Moms ONLY - https://theheartcollective.app.clientclub.net/communities/groups/estranged-heart-membersTo support the podcast and Kreed's work with estranged and reconciled parents and adult children: https://buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere

#206 // Surrendering to the Love That Remains: Holding On While Letting Go After Child Loss If your child is no longer walking beside you, the word surrender can feel impossible. As grieving moms, our arms were never meant to be empty, and yet we face the heartbreaking reality of placing our children back into God's hands when He calls them home. In today's episode, we open Scripture to Hannah's story in 1 Samuel. She longed for a child, prayed with tears, and when God finally answered, she made a vow to give her son back to Him. Her story doesn't erase our grief, but it does show us what it means to lean on God when everything in us wants to hold on tight. Together we'll explore what trust means for Hannah—and what trust means for us as grieving mothers who had to surrender without choice. In this episode you'll hear:
Vespers Sermon @ St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church - Knoxville, TN ~ August 19, 2025
What happens when a father loses contact with his children for three years? Garry Junkuhn discovered it can become the catalyst for profound transformation. After his relationship with a new partner led to complete estrangement from his sons, Garry chose an unconventional path. Instead of legal battles or blame, he embarked on a six-year nomadic journey of self-discovery. "What is the gift in this situation?" his mentor asked. That question changed everything. Through radical humility and personal growth, Garry not only reunited with his sons but built an even stronger relationship. His story offers hope to anyone facing relationship challenges: sometimes the way forward requires letting go of our story about what went wrong.Garry Junkuhn is a South African-born father and founder of 100k Fathers, dedicated to helping fathers reunite with their children through personal transformation rather than legal battles. After experiencing three years of complete separation from his two sons following a painful custody situation, Garry embarked on a six-year nomadic journey of self-discovery across South America. This transformative period led to not only reuniting with his sons but building stronger relationships than ever before. Today, Garry guides fathers worldwide through his counterintuitive approach that emphasizes personal growth, emotional resilience, and letting go of blame. His work focuses on preparing fathers for reunion through inner work rather than external force, helping them become the men their children need them to be.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week.

Q: Do you have a book, sermon, or other resource to help Christians to maintain their faith as they go through chronic suffering? My daughter has a debilitating disease that she got in her early 20's and it has progressively got worse in 3+ years. She says she can't forgive God for not healing her and even if he healed her now she asks why he didn't heal her before. She's so angry with God she's giving up on a relationship with Him and ready to completely walk away from any faith. Please help. Summary In this episode, Dr. E offers wisdom to a father whose daughter is wrestling with debilitating illness, anger at God, and a fading faith. Dr. E shares that while he's never asked God “why,” he's often asked Him “how” — how to live well through pain, how to endure with grace, and how to resist bitterness. Drawing from his own chronic suffering journey, Dr. E unpacks the difference between entitlement and surrender, encouraging listeners to reframe suffering in light of God's sovereignty. He offers gentle but clear guidance: some “why” questions may never be answered this side of heaven, and continuing to ask them may only deepen bitterness. Instead, he urges us to ask “how” — how can I respond faithfully today? Recommended resources like A Place of Healing by Joni Eareckson Tada and How Long, O Lord? by D.A. Carson offer paths to healing and spiritual perspective. Ultimately, Dr. E reminds us that we can't carry others' faith, but we can lead, love, and trust that God is still writing the story — even in the pain. Takeaways Asking “how do I live?” leads to faithfulness; asking “why did this happen?” can lead to bitterness. Chronic suffering may never come with clear answers — but God offers sustaining grace. We cannot force someone else's faith, but we can lead them gently through love. Surrendering our sense of entitlement is key to enduring trials with spiritual maturity. There are some “why” questions in life that will never be answered — and that's okay.

When life doesn't go as planned, how do you keep going — and still find joy along the way? In this moving conversation, pediatrician, rare disease advocate, and author Dr. Tasha Faruki joins me to share her extraordinary journey as a mother navigating her daughter's complex medical needs. From the first whispers that something was different, to the raw reality of “failure to thrive,” to redefining joy through Make-A-Wish surfboards in Hawaii, Dr. Tasha's story is one of grit, surrender, and radical love. We talk about: Trusting your instincts when everyone says “don't worry” Letting go of the plan you thought your life would follow Siblings, family repair, and the unspoken challenges behind the scenes The power of asking “Why not?” instead of “Why me?” Living by the family motto: Suck the joy out of life Some quotes from the episode: "Our children carry the medicine we need." "I had to stop waiting for joy to fall into my lap and start intentionally finding it." "It's incredibly brutal and it's incredibly beautiful — and both can be true."

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Abiding in God's Love by Living a Life of Surrender (Formerly Titled: Real Love Takes Sacrifice) We know the Bible says “God is love” (1 John 4:8) and that He loved us first. But if we're honest, many of us spend more time wondering, “Does God really love me?” than asking the deeper, more revealing question: “Do I truly love Him?” That's the heart of today's message. God's love for you is unshakable, unchanging, and eternal. The real question is whether your love for Him is genuine—and if it's showing up in your life the way true love always does: through sacrifice. When You Don't Feel God's Love Maybe you've been a Christian for years but can't remember the last time you felt God's love. You've read the verses. You've prayed the prayers. But it's like you're in a spiritual drought. The truth? Feelings aren't the measure of His love. But there's often a missing link when we feel disconnected from God—and it's not that He's holding back. It's that our love for Him hasn't moved from words to action. Abiding in God's Love Requires Sacrifice Jesus said plainly, “If you love Me, keep My commands” (John 14:15). Love isn't just warm feelings or goosebumps in worship—it's obedience. And obedience requires sacrifice. That sacrifice may look like: Giving up your comfort Laying down your need for control Surrendering your demand to understand everything before trusting Releasing opinions that don't align with His Word It's the same principle in marriage—love grows deeper when it's willing to lay self aside for the other's good. Our relationship with Jesus is no different. The Pearl of Great Price and God's Love In Matthew 13:45–46, Jesus tells of a merchant who sold all he had to buy one pearl of great value. That's what loving God looks like—letting go of everything else so you can fully hold onto Him. You don't get the pearl without selling all. You don't experience the fullness of God's love without the surrender that real love demands. Beyond the Honeymoon: Abiding in God's Love Daily Some of us have had that powerful, early experience with God—a “honeymoon” season where His presence felt constant and overwhelming. But just like in marriage, the relationship matures. The emotions may not always be intense, but the love grows deeper as it's proven through daily, intentional sacrifice. Surrender: The Path to Experiencing God's Love If you want a fresh revelation of God's love, start here: Ask Him to show you where He's calling you to surrender. Choose obedience in that area—even when it costs you. Trust Him with the outcome. When you give Him your heart in this way, you'll discover what you can't manufacture through feelings alone: the deep, abiding joy of walking in step with His love.
