Energy Minister Chris Bowen is seeking to review the default market offer system, which controls standing offer prices in some eastern states in a bid to get better energy prices for consumers. Peter Fegan has suggested the Minister is trying to shift the blame for high energy prices to 'price gouging' rather than the high cost of switching to renewable energy sources.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Walk Like Jesus - Pt 2 - Why We're Here - When we're younger, we strive to “find ourselves,” to learn the purpose of our lives. When we're older, we give up on such idealistic ideas and settle for “life as usual.” But right here, Jesus shows us the purpose He made all of us for, young and old.
JUN. 3, 2025Take responsibility for your life."Do you want to get well?" Jn 5:6 NIVWhat an amazing question Jesus asked this paralyzed man: "Do you want to get well?" Who wouldn't? You might be surprised! Kay Arthur tells of passing a beggar one day on a street in the Old City of Jerusalem. As he sat begging, his trouser leg was pulled up to reveal his terrible sores. She writes: "My nurse's heart brought my feet to a halt. I wanted to bend down and shield the open wound from the dust...It should be washed, medicated, and dressed by someone who cared. My friend gently took me by my elbow and propelled me toward our destination. I was a tourist and did not know about these things. She then proceeded to tell me that this man did not wish to be made well. He made his living from his wound! As I looked back...l caught one last glimpse of someone who was less than what he could have been." The man lying helpless on a cot by the pool called Bethesda had been there for thirty-eight years. Question: How long does it take before a problem becomes a way of life? Jesus said to him, "Get up...and walk" (v. 8 NIV), the inference being that it's time to get up and go to work—to become a father to your children, a husband to your wife, a contributor to your community, a solution to someone else's problem-it's time to take responsibility for your life. Are you letting your past or present circumstances keep you stuck and stop you from moving forward? If Jesus asked you, "Do you want to get well emotionally, physically, and spiritually?" what would your answer be?

Why does it feel like your wife is constantly sending you stuff to read, fix, change, or apply—and you're still being told you're not doing enough?In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, Maurice Harker addresses the emotional weight husbands feel when their wives send constant “resources” their way—and how this dynamic creates frustration, resentment, and mental overload.But more importantly, he explains why relying on her help actually slows your growth down—and how taking full ownership of your personal development is the key to rebuilding trust, leadership, and real healing in your marriage.If you're ready to stop reacting and start rising, this is the mindset shift that changes everything.Want to read more about this topic? https://www.lifechangingservices.org/adhd-blog-comorbidities/Rather Watch Something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2UuPMNKPnYCheck out the Marriage Repair Workshops: https://www.lifechangingservices.org/marriage-repair/

Kevin and Bill Jack discuss the importance of a father figure in the lives of boys. Men who never had a father figure won't take responsibility for their own children and families. This leads to a world of men like Andrew Tate, rooted in self-love, anger, and apathy. Christian men should be pro-life, pro-family, and pro-biblical sexuality in every way, shape, and form. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Bill allows interrogation of homeschool parents, Country band censored by TV station over patriotic song, Homeland Security revokes student visa of terrorist sympathizer) 2.

Momma's Boy Anonymous: Breaking the Unhealthy Relationship ExpectationsIs your girlfriend's nickname "Momma"? Then we need to talk. In this crucial episode of Momma's Boy Anonymous, we dive deep into a common but damaging relationship pattern: men who unconsciously expect their partners to be more like mothers than a wife or girlfriends.Why do so many men fall into this "Mommy Complex," and how does it sabotage their relationships? It's more common than you think, and it's not a recipe for a healthy partnership.What comes to mind when you hear "Momma's boy"? We'll unpack the good and the bad, and why too many men seek a maternal figure in their romantic relationships. Remember, loving your mom is great, but your partner shouldn't have to be her.

We break down the unrealistic expectation that your significant other is there to "fix" your emotional or practical issues. Learn why true partners support you but aren't responsible for mending your insecurities. We'll provide actionable steps to take ownership of your well-being, including self-reflection, seeking mentors, and considering professional help.She Can't Take Responsibility for You: Do you rely on your partner to manage your schedule, make decisions, and handle life's practicalities? This infantilizing dynamic undermines attraction and respect. We'll discuss the importance of shared responsibility in adult relationships and provide concrete steps to take charge of your finances, time, social life, and decision-making skills.She Needs a Leader, Not a Child: Women are often drawn to men who exhibit leadership qualities. We clarify the difference between healthy leadership and being controlling and explore why lacking direction or avoiding conflict can be detrimental. Discover how taking initiative, making decisions, and providing direction fosters a more balanced and fulfilling relationship. We'll offer practical tips for developing confidence, assertiveness, and a clear vision for your life.Breaking free from the "Mommy Complex" is the key to unlocking healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

In Matthew 6:21, Jesus says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” That teaching is true for everyone, and yet men and women have different perspectives on money. So how do wise women manage the resources God entrusts to them? Miriam Neff is here to talk about that today.Miriam Neff is the founder of Widow Connection, the author of 11 books, a counselor, a Bible teacher, and a speaker. She supports widows through sewing and bakery projects and is the co-author of Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More with her daughter. Her radio features New Beginnings and Starting Over Financially air nationwide.Managing money wisely is a critical skill, and for many women, the responsibility of financial stewardship comes unexpectedly. Whether due to widowhood, divorce, or simply taking on a more active role in household finances, women today oversee 51% of the wealth in the United States, a figure that continues to grow.However, with the right mindset and practical steps, women can confidently manage those resources. Here are eight key habits that wise women adopt to steward their finances well.1. Acknowledge That All We Have Belongs to GodThe foundation of wise money management begins with recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God. Whether it's a paycheck, a home, or an investment portfolio, God has entrusted our financial resources to us for stewardship.Some may think of their 401(k) or IRA as ‘theirs,' but biblically speaking, all of our resources—income, spending habits, even our possessions—belong to God. This means we must steward everything wisely, from the big decisions to the small ones.2. Take Responsibility for Knowing Your FinancesMany women suddenly find themselves responsible for managing their finances after years of leaving it to a spouse or financial professional. Miriam emphasizes that understanding one's financial situation is crucial, whether through spreadsheets, budgeting apps, or simple pen and paper.We cannot make excuses, such as “My parents never taught me this” or “My teenagers demand too much.” We are accountable to God for how we manage our resources.Taking responsibility also means seeking help. Resources like Widow Connection, Faith & Finance, and local church financial ministries provide guidance and support.3. Create a Spending Plan Based on Income and ValuesThe world encourages spending beyond our means—bigger houses, new cars, and credit card debt. However, wise financial management requires a spending plan that aligns with both our income and values.Cultural messages tell us to spend first and hope our income will catch up. Biblically, we must prioritize contentment and stewardship. A budget is a tool to help us live within our means and honor God.A values-based spending plan includes giving to God first, meeting needs before wants, and saving wisely.4. Recognize That Every Spending Decision Is a Spiritual DecisionLarry Burkett famously said, “Every spending decision is a spiritual decision.” Where we allocate our money reflects our priorities and our hearts.What do you check first thing in the morning—your bank account or social media? If we want to understand our hearts, we should examine our calendars and bank statements. They reveal our true priorities.If our spending habits don't align with our faith, it's time to make changes, even if they start small.5. Eliminate Excuses and Avoid Emotional SpendingExcuses can be a major roadblock to financial wisdom. Many justify poor financial decisions with statements like:“My spouse is a big spender.”“My children need expensive gadgets to fit in.”“I was feeling down, so I indulged in some ‘retail therapy.'”Fear and emotions should not drive our financial decisions. The Bible warns about fear-based financial mistakes, as seen in the parable of the servant who buried his talent instead of investing it (Matthew 25).Owning our financial decisions, rather than blaming circumstances or emotions, is key to stewardship.6. Take Personal Responsibility for Financial ActionsFinancial wisdom requires discipline and self-control. Some common financial missteps include:Overindulging children to compensate for a difficult divorce or personal guilt.Hoarding money to fill an emotional void rather than stewarding it wisely.Making impulsive purchases out of fear rather than planning wisely.When we take a small step toward honoring God with our finances, He steps in and provides in ways we never expected.7. Regularly Review and Adjust Your Financial PlanFinancial plans aren't static—they must evolve with life's changes. With inflation, rising costs, and unexpected expenses, a budget from last year may no longer be effective.A core principle of financial wisdom is having three to six months of emergency savings. We can't predict when financial challenges will come, but we can prepare for them.Adjustments may involve cutting unnecessary expenses, increasing savings, or shifting spending priorities.8. Invest for Kingdom PurposesThe ultimate goal of financial wisdom isn't just security—it's Kingdom impact. Everyone's calling is different, but we should all invest in eternity. Whether it's giving to your church, supporting missionaries, or helping those in need, prioritizing God's Kingdom brings the greatest return on investment.Accountability partners, financial mentors, and small group discussions can also help reinforce wise financial habits.Take the Next Step in Your Financial JourneyThese eight habits provide a roadmap for women navigating financial responsibilities. Whether you're newly managing money or looking to refine your financial approach, the key is to start today.For more insights and practical steps, pick up a copy of Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More by Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan.
