In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, host Annie Sargent talks with Abigail Carter, a writer and YouTube creator who made a huge life change. Abigail lost her husband in the 9/11 attacks. She raised her two young children in Seattle. Then the pandemic hit and forced her to rethink everything. She realized she wanted a new chapter. Listen to this episode ad-free Abigail began watching videos of people renovating châteaux in France. The idea stuck. She loves travel. She loves houses. She has renovation experience. So she came to France to look at properties. At first, it felt like a fun adventure. But then she walked into a large maison de maître near Agen. It had high ceilings, old windows, caves in a cliff, and a lot of charm. Abigail made an offer the very next day. It was accepted. She found herself the owner of a twelve-bedroom home in the French countryside. Annie and Abigail talk about how to buy a property in France. They discuss inspections, banking, moving money, and dealing with renovations. They also talk about the language challenge. Abigail uses apps, Zoom lessons, and practice in daily life to improve her French. Abigail now runs creative retreats at the château. People come to sketch, write, enjoy food and wine, and discover the countryside. She has already formed a growing community around this project. Annie and Abigail share tips for anyone dreaming of a similar move. They also highlight great places to visit around Agen, including Nérac, Lectoure, Pujols, and Monflanquin. This is a story about resilience, creativity, and starting over in France. It's an inspiring reminder that you can build a new life in a new place. Join Annie and Abigail for an uplifting conversation full of practical advice and beautiful French scenery.

In the concluding verse of 1 Timothy 4, Paul instructs Timothy, “Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.” What did he mean by these words? Alistair Begg begins an examination of the answer by looking at the chapter's opening verses, which outline the apostacy Paul warned about, how it would happen, by whom it would happen, and what its teaching would involve. Bible passages: 1 Timothy 4:1-5

Life often has us feeling like we're not enough—not doing enough, not achieving enough, not keeping up with everyone else. But what if the problem isn't you at all? What if you're simply in the wrong environment?This revelation hit me while reading a children's book to my eight-month-old son about sea creatures. I learned that turtles swim quickly in water yet move slowly on land. The metaphor struck me profoundly—imagine a turtle spending its entire life on land, constantly feeling inadequate because it couldn't match others' pace, never realizing it was simply in the wrong environment for its natural abilities.Your environment shapes everything about your success and well-being. This includes your physical spaces, the people surrounding you, and even how you treat your own body. Creating environments that support your authentic self doesn't require massive resources—just intentional choices about what energies you welcome into your life.Ready to transform your environment?

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into the profound theme of self-reclamation and inner happiness with bestselling author, podcast host, and transformational coach Irina Shehovsov. From overcoming trauma and emotional wounds to cultivating joy from within, Irina offers grounded insights and practical habits for anyone feeling stuck, unworthy, or lost. This conversation is not about chasing external validation—it's about coming home to yourself. About the Guest:Irina Shehovsov is the founder of Reclaim Your Life, a speaker, and the host of two podcasts: Single Parent Success Stories and Reclaim Your Life. She's also the #1 international bestselling author of The Gift Inside. Irina helps women over 40 release toxic patterns, rediscover their identity, and rebuild a life of joy, worth, and peace. Through mindset, holistic healing, and spiritual tools like timeline therapy and NLP, she empowers others to believe healing is possible at any stage. Key Takeaways: Self-reclamation starts with personal responsibility. You may not be at fault for past trauma, but healing begins when you own your present. Happiness is cultivated, not found. Daily practices like meditation, gratitude, forgiveness, and mindful presence create the foundation for joy. Healing isn't passive. Time helps only when combined with intentional action and the right environment. You are worthy now. Many emotional wounds stem from a sense of unworthiness—Irina's work helps rewrite that belief. Forgiveness is for you, not them. It frees you to live in the present, no longer chained to past pain. Surroundings matter. Healing is amplified by positive people, conscious media, and nourishing routines.

Have you ever dreamed of exploring French villages at your own pace? In this episode, Village-Hopping in the Dordogne and Beyond: A Traveler's Guide with Jackie Barnes, host Annie Sargent talks with traveler Jackie Barnes about her recent road trip through one of France's most beautiful regions. Listen to this episode ad-free Jackie shares how she and her family designed a flexible Dordogne road trip that let them visit charming towns, sample local food, and enjoy the landscape without feeling rushed. From famous stops like Sarlat and Rocamadour to less crowded villages along the river, Jackie explains what made each place special. She also talks about driving in rural France, finding parking in small towns, and the importance of leaving room in your schedule for spontaneous discoveries. Annie and Jackie compare notes on French markets, restaurants, and the kind of authentic encounters that happen when you stay in smaller inns or gîtes instead of big hotels. They also highlight cultural differences, from the rhythm of French mealtimes to how Sundays feel completely different compared to North America. This episode is packed with practical tips for anyone planning to go beyond Paris and explore provincial France. You'll hear why renting a car is essential, how to balance sightseeing with relaxation, and which Dordogne villages Jackie would happily return to again. If you are searching for advice on exploring the Dordogne, planning a Dordogne road trip, or simply want inspiration for your next journey to France, this conversation will help you see what's possible.

“I keep starting over. Why can't I just stick with it?” If that thought hits a little too close to home—you're not alone. In this episode, we're unpacking the real reasons people keep falling off track, and what it actually takes to build consistency that sticks. We cover: ✔️ The dopamine hit of “Day 1” and why the all-or-nothing mindset keeps you stuck ✔️ How emotional eating and escape habits sabotage your best intentions ✔️ Why identity-based goals are more powerful (and sustainable) than outcome chasing ✔️ The truth about discipline that no influencer is telling you ✔️ Why chasing fads leads to burnout—and how the L5 Method helps you build real, lasting results without starting over again If you're tired of restarting, this episode will give you the mindset shift and tactical clarity you've been missing.

How do you plan a smooth and memorable trip across France using trains, rental cars, and buses? In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, titled Navigating France by Train, Car, and Bus, host Annie Sargent chats with Stephen Nicholson about his 24-day journey through France. Stephen and his wife combined different types of transportation to explore big cities, small towns, and hidden gems—without joining a tour group. They started in Paris and used the OuiGo high-speed train to reach Avignon, then added regional trains, rental cars, and local buses to visit places like Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Carcassonne, Sarlat-la-Canéda, and Amboise. Stephen shares practical advice on booking train tickets, rebooking car rentals to save money, and using travel apps to avoid stress. Annie and Stephen also talk about how to find the best parking in small villages, how to use luggage storage services, and why it's smart to plan around French public holidays. They touch on lesser-known challenges like fuel station card holds and using Wise debit cards in Europe. Whether you're planning to travel light, visit Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, or simply get the most out of your trip without overpacking your schedule, this episode is full of useful, real-world tips.

Funny things happen when church youth groups go on summer missions trips. Suddenly these comfortable American kids are facing a totally unfamiliar situation, maybe for the first time in their lives! There's money they don't quite understand. There's a language that's different from theirs. Surroundings that are really different from their comfy little room back home. Unusual places to sleep, food they're not used to eating. And suddenly, teenagers who seldom have quiet time in the Bible, are up early every morning for devotions. Amazing! In fact if you look, there's a teenager with a Bible on every rock. It's not quite like that back home is it? What is happening? And kids who find prayer back home kind of boring? Well, now they want prayer meetings. Some who have never prayed aloud before, suddenly find the words. What's going on here? Maybe the same thing that's happening where you are. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Personally Bankrupt, Spiritually Rich." Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from 2 Corinthians 1, and I'm beginning to read at verse 8. Paul is struggling. He says, "We are under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure." Maybe that's something you can relate to. He goes on to say, "so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts, we felt the sentence of death. But this happened so that..." Okay, pause for a moment. He's finding the reason for this heavy pressure, getting to the end of his rope, this despairing even of life, why has God allowed this to happen; what's the reason? He says, "It happened so that we might not rely on ourselves but on God." And then he adds, "...who raises the dead." Wow! Paul says, "I'm bankrupt, man! I have no resources left. Why? How did I get to this point? I had run out of me to depend on. I totally abandoned me and the situation to God." What happened? The next verse says, "He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us." I told you about the mission trip scenario. Kids are stripped of everything they usually can depend on, and so they're forced to grab Jesus as if their lives depended on Him. Well, it isn't that you suddenly started needing the Lord when you're bankrupt. You just don't realize it until you're bankrupt. Then something very intimate happens in your love relationship with Jesus. You experience His unlimited power at the point of your total powerlessness. In a sense, you don't really know the Lord until you really need the Lord. Our safe, predictable, well resourced Christianity insulates us from really living by faith. And then God allows the bottom to drop out, just so He can hold you up. And you find out what He can do when there's none of you and it's all God. And then you can learn that He's enough. He fills up your empty bankrupt account and in a paradox that only God could reveal to us. Are you ready for it? Here it is: in your bankruptcy you can finally be rich.

Special guests: We are kicking off Holy Week with Fr. John Riccardo and Mary Guilfoyle from ACTS XXIX. This Lent, Lisa and Laura explore Passionate Discipleship, a nine-week Lenten Bible study series. In these powerful episodes, they'll unpack Paul's wisdom to his closest friend, Timothy, and reflect on how we can apply it to our lives today. As we grow in personal holiness, we will boldly step into our call as true disciples by reaching out to the next generation and passing on all that we've learned. In today's episode, they kick off Holy Week by welcoming two special guests to discuss Lesson 6, Alert to Your Surroundings: Fr. John Riccardo and Mary Guilfoyle from ACTS XXIX. They talk all things prayer, identity, and Scripture. This episode is an absolute must-listen! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. 2 Timothy 3:1–7: But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people. For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses, who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Psalm 139:1–3: O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Mark 10:17–31: The Rich Man Luke 15:11–32: The Parable of the Prodigal and His Brother Isaiah 43:1,4: But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine … Because you are precious in my eyes and honored, and I love you. Ecclesiastes 1:9: What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Go to prayer and ask the Lord these two questions: By what name do You call me? What is the one thing that keeps me from wholeheartedly following You? Show mentions.

Gemara Taanit 21b- various explanation of story of Rav/R Huna's neighborhoods being spared from imminent damage in merit of a person who did kindness (lent shovel for burial, heated oven for others to use)

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the Third Week of Advent Lectionary: 195The Saint of the day is Blessed Urban VBlessed Urban V's Story In 1362, the man elected pope declined the office. When the cardinals could not find another person among them for that important office, they turned to a relative stranger: the holy person we honor today. The new Pope Urban V proved a wise choice. A Benedictine monk and canon lawyer, he was deeply spiritual and brilliant. He lived simply and modestly, which did not always earn him friends among clergymen who had become used to comfort and privilege. Still, he pressed for reform, and saw to the restoration of churches and monasteries. Except for a brief period he spent most of his eight years as pope living away from Rome at Avignon, seat of the papacy from 1309, until shortly after his death. Urban came close, but was not able to achieve one of his biggest goals—reuniting the Eastern and Western churches. As pope, Urban continued to follow the Benedictine Rule. Shortly before his death in 1370, he asked to be moved from the papal palace to the nearby home of his brother, so he could say goodbye to the ordinary people he had so often helped. Reflection Simplicity in the midst of power and grandeur seems to define this saint, as he reluctantly accepted the papacy, but remained at heart a Benedictine monk. Surroundings need not negatively influence a person. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
