For many, Christmas comes wrapped not only in lights and celebration, but also in financial pressure. The desire to give generously can collide painfully with a budget that simply won’t stretch far enough. And in a culture where extravagant Christmas mornings dominate social media feeds, it’s easy to feel inadequate or ashamed when the gifts under the tree look different than we wished. Vivian Bricker speaks honestly into this tension, reminding us that the heart of Christmas has nothing to do with what we can buy and everything to do with the One we worship. Somewhere along the way, many of us have absorbed the idea that Christmas requires excess. But the gospel reminds us that Christmas began in simplicity — a manger, a small town, a humble family, and a Savior who came quietly into the world. A meaningful Christmas does not require money. It requires Jesus. If finances are tight this year, remember: Christmas joy is not dependent on the number of gifts under the tree. Homemade, thoughtful gifts often carry more love than anything store-bought. God never measures love by financial ability. The people who love you most want you, not what you can give. And above all, Scripture calls us to shift our focus:“Seek first his kingdom… and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33). When we place Christ at the center, financial pressure loses its power. Instead of comparing, striving, or stressing, we are freed to worship, to give from the heart, and to celebrate what truly matters. Today's Bible Reading:“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” – Matthew 6:33 Takeaway Truths Your financial limitations do not diminish your love or your worth. Christmas is not about purchasing power — it’s about the presence of Christ. Homemade or simple gifts can be meaningful expressions of love. God promises provision when we seek Him first. A simple Christmas can often be the most spiritually rich. Let's Pray Dear Jesus, Christmas feels a bit tight this year, and I’m struggling with feelings of guilt, fear, and inadequacy. Remind me that these feelings do not come from You. Help me remember that the purpose of Christmas has never been about gifts, spending, or trying to keep up with others. Teach me to embrace simplicity. Help me find joy in making homemade gifts or offering thoughtful gestures, even if they look different from years past. Calm my heart, silence comparison, and center my mind on Your goodness. Bring my focus back to You — the true reason for the season. Fill my heart with peace, gratitude, and confidence that You will provide everything I truly need. Thank You for being my source, my security, and my Savior. Amen.

Today we're stepping into a topic that every believer faces, no matter how long you've walked with God. Temptation is not a sign of weakness — it's a sign that there's a battle over your destiny. And Brother, let me tell you: the enemy doesn't tempt you in the areas you don't care about. He hits you where the impact will be greatest. He hits where you're vulnerable, where you're tired, where you're lonely, where your guard is down.But here's the thing we forget:Temptation isn't something you reason with. It's something you run from.You don't negotiate with darkness.You don't debate your flesh.You don't see how close you can get to the edge.The Bible doesn't say “stand firm against temptation.”It says flee it.Let's go deeper.

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Good morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comII John  John writes to a selected lady and her children, urging them to continue walking in truth and love. He rejoices that some of them are living according to the truth, just as the Father commanded. He reminds them of the old command to love one another and explains that love is demonstrated through obedience to God's commands. John warns against deceivers who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such individuals are identified as antichrists. He encourages believers to be careful and not lose what they have worked for, but to remain faithful so they may receive a full reward. Anyone who does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. John concludes with hope to visit soon and encourages ongoing fellowship and faithfulness.  We are encouraged to stay grounded in both truth and love. Knowing what is right isn't enough; we are called to live it out each day. Loving one another shows that we belong to God and are walking in His light. At the same time, we must be cautious of false teachings that seek to distort the truth about Jesus. We guard our hearts by holding firmly to the message we first believed and by remaining connected to the teachings of Christ. When we stay faithful, we grow closer to God and help others do the same. Let us commit to living with love, protecting truth, rejecting error, and encouraging one another to remain strong in our faith.  Heavenly Father, thank You for the truth that resides in us and will be with us forever. Help us walk faithfully in love and obedience, just as You have commanded. Grant us wisdom to recognize false teachings and the courage to stand firm in the truth of Christ. Teach us to love others deeply, showing grace and kindness in all that we do. Strengthen our hearts to remain in the teachings of Jesus, so we stay close to You and avoid being led astray. Fill us with joy, peace, and a desire to live in truth each day for Your glory.  Thought Questions: John took great joy in hearing of others walking in the truth. Who are you attached to in Christ, whose faith brings you joy and peace? Which is more important: the truth about Jesus or the love of Jesus within you? How do you make sure to feature both in your life? Who qualifies as an “antichrist”? How have you prepared to respond to someone who denies Jesus Christ as Lord?

#advent #catholic #sspxAdvent is a holy season of waiting. We learn how to wait for God.Waiting well is an important spiritual skill, because God often moves slowly. When we look at the history of the world and of the human race, we see that God is never in a hurry.God is outside of time. All of time is like a single moment for Him. He sees all of human history from the highest perspective.When we interact with God, we have to be willing for Him to act slowly. We have to be willing to wait. “Show, O Lord, thy ways to me. Teach me thy paths”, we say in today's Introit. His ways are slow.Abraham: God first appears to him when he is 75 years old, and promises that he will make a great nation of him. But his wife is not able to have any children. After 25 years, God appears to Abraham, when he is 100 years old, and promises that he will have a child by Sara, who is 90 years old. She has Isaac and the whole race of the Chosen People comes from him.Moses: the Israelites are being oppressed by the Pharaoh. He is telling the midwives to put their male children to death. Moses is saved from the water and raised by Pharaoh's daughter in the Egyptian court. When he is 40 years old, he flees to the desert. Only after 40 years more does God appear to Moses and ask him to go back to Egypt to deliver the Israelite people. They had been in slavery for 80 years at that point.Coming of Our Lord: God waits a number of centuries after Adam. When Our Lord comes onto this earth, He is not rushed. Rather, He spends 30 years living a hidden and unknown life. Only then does He come out into the public.Bottom line: God often waits a long time before acting. (same will be true of end of world!)We find this characteristic of our God difficult because we are naturally impatient as human beings. We are willful and we want control. We want things to happen when we want them to happen. We find it humbling to be forced to wait.

This week we're kicking off a short pre-Christmas series designed to help you ease into 2026 feeling clearer, lighter, and far more aligned.And before you even think about setting goals for the new year, there's so much power in pausing and looking back. So today, I'm guiding you through a simple end-of-year reflection that helps you recognise what worked, what didn't, and what your year has been trying to teach you.We'll be noticing the patterns you've been repeating, the things that drained you, the things that energised you, and the moments you're genuinely proud of - because these are the very things that will shape an easier, more intentional 2026. Reflection questions from the episode:What didn't go so well this year—and what can I learn from it?What am I genuinely proud of? (Including the things I gave myself, not just the things I achieved.)What drained me—and what energised me?What am I ready to stop carrying into 2026? (Habits, beliefs, relationships, expectations… anything.)The more clearly you understand the stories, patterns, energy, and choices that shaped this year, the more powerfully you get to shape next year.Follow me on instagram or explore more on the website.

December stirs up a mix of emotions. For some, it brings warmth, celebration, and anticipation — a month full of Christmas lights, gatherings, and meaningful traditions. For others, it surfaces the ache of unfulfilled expectations, difficult memories, or the heaviness of a year that didn’t unfold as hoped. Regardless of how we enter the final month of the year, Scripture reminds us that God offers hope, joy, and peace to every heart that trusts Him. Preparing for December isn’t about forcing ourselves to feel a certain way — it’s about positioning our hearts to receive what God desires to pour into us. Lynette Kittle outlines five simple, biblical ways to prepare your heart for this new month: 1. Count Your BlessingsEven in a year marked by difficulty, God’s hand has carried you here. Remembering His faithfulness builds confidence for the month ahead. 2. Look Ahead with HopeHope is a spiritual posture. We don’t have to see what’s coming to trust the One who holds the future. 3. Feed on God’s WordDecember can be busy or emotionally draining; God’s Word is the nourishment that sustains you through both. 4. Open Your HandsGod fills what is surrendered. Whether your hands feel full or painfully empty, He invites you to receive His goodness. 5. Ask God for His JoyObedience keeps us close to the Father, and closeness leads to joy — a deep, sustaining joy that doesn’t depend on circumstances. However you are entering December — hopeful, tired, grieving, or joyful — God promises to meet you where you are. He offers His hope, His peace, His presence, and His unchanging love as you step into the days ahead. Bible Reading:“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” — Romans 15:13 Takeaway Truths December may bring both joy and sorrow, but God meets us in every emotion. Gratitude helps us recognize God’s faithfulness throughout the year. Hope grows as we trust God for what we cannot see. Spiritual nourishment prepares us for both celebration and hardship. God fills open, surrendered hands with His goodness. True joy comes from walking in God’s love and obedience. Let's Pray Dear Father, As we prepare our hearts for December, bring to mind the blessings You’ve given us throughout this past year. Help us remember Your faithful care and protection. Strengthen our faith to look ahead with hope, trusting that You are already present in every day to come. Give us a hunger for Your Word that we might grow stronger spiritually and more rooted in Your truth. Teach us to open our hands before You. When our hands are full, help us lay down what doesn’t matter. When our hands are clenched in disappointment or fear, gently open them so we can receive Your goodness. Fill us with Your joy — a joy that is complete, steady, and rooted in Your love. In Jesus’ name,Amen.

Your prospects know when you're waiting for your turn to talk. They can feel when you're performing instead of partnering. And the moment they sense you're treating them like a transaction, you've already lost the sale, or at least the loyalty that comes after it. The difference between good salespeople and unforgettable ones isn't about closing techniques or fancy proposals. It's about becoming the trusted sales advisor your buyers can't imagine doing business without. It's about evolving from vendor to linchpin—the person who holds everything together. What Does It Mean to Be a Linchpin? A linchpin is the small pin that holds a wheel on its axle. Remove it, and everything falls apart. In sales, being a linchpin means you're more than someone who takes orders or delivers quotes. You're the trusted sales advisor buyers turn to for guidance, validation, and expertise. They don't just buy from you; they believe in you. They want your opinion. They rely on your consistency. And when things get messy, they know you'll help them make sense of it all. But most salespeople never reach linchpin status. They stay stuck in the vendor zone: quoting, pitching, following up, moving on. It's safe. It hits metrics. But safety doesn't create loyalty. Why Most Sellers Stay Vendors The vendor zone is comfortable. You know what to do. You have a process. You check boxes. But here's the problem: your prospect can feel when you're focused on yourself instead of them. They know when you're running through a script or waiting to launch into your pitch. And that feeling—that sense of being just another number—kills trust before it ever has a chance to grow. Being a trusted sales advisor requires something different. It requires you to slow down, tune in, and genuinely care about the person across from you. That's where the magic happens. Build Emotional Connection Through Reading the Room The best salespeople don't take behavior at face value. They interpret it. When a buyer seems distracted or cold, linchpin sellers pause and ask themselves: What's really happening here? Is this person overwhelmed? Skeptical because of a bad past experience? Or just thinking deeply because they need time to process? Here's how to sharpen your ability to read buyer emotions: Match and mirror. Notice their pace, tone, and energy, then subtly align with it. People feel safer with people who move at a similar rhythm. Say what you're thinking. Use your inside voice as your outside voice. Try: "It sounds like this project has a lot of pressure behind it" or "You seem hesitant—can I ask what's causing that?" Naming emotions and behaviors politely opens doors. Embrace the silence. Silence doesn't mean rejection. It means your buyer is thinking, absorbing, processing. This is where most salespeople blow it. They open their mouths too soon because they can't handle the quiet. Five extra minutes of patience is often what stands between winning and losing a deal. Reading people is empathy in motion. But it takes work. And most salespeople don't take the time. Lead With Curiosity Curiosity is the trait that rarely gets enough attention in sales training. But when you're genuinely curious about what makes your buyers tick—what drives their decisions, what matters most to them, what keeps them up at night—you move past small talk and into real conversations. When you show up to serve instead of showing up to sell, curiosity becomes natural. You ask questions to understand what your customers actually need. You build solutions together. And that's the moment you become essential to solving their problems. Here's how to leverage curiosity as a trusted sales advisor: Ask one more question. When your buyer answers, don't jump into your pitch. Say, "Tell me more about that" or "What else is behind that concern?" That extra question is where the truth often lives. Replace judgment with wonder. When a prospect makes an odd request, don't think "That's ridiculous." Think "I wonder what's driving that?" That mindset shift changes your energy completely—and they can feel it. Prep curiosity prompts before each meeting. Write down three open-ended questions that start with "how" or "what." Questions like "How will this impact your team's workload?" or "What happens if nothing changes?" uncover real motivation. The phrase "I'm so curious about..." has become a game-changer in discovery calls. It opens doors to deeper conversations. Most buyers will jump right in, and the conversation flows naturally. Your job is to listen, take notes, and get even more curious as they open up. Evolve Into an Indispensable Consultant Most salespeople understand the concept of being consultative: asking questions, offering insights, guiding decisions. But the best take it further. They become so valuable that their clients' success feels harder to imagine without them. When you become indispensable, things don't function properly without you. People need you, not just want you. You bring unique value that can't easily be replaced, because nobody is you. Here's how to go beyond helpful and become essential: Diagnose before you recommend. Don't rush to fix. Take time to fully understand the client's situation. Ask deeper questions. Look for patterns. Confirm what really matters before offering solutions. You'll gain trust faster through understanding than urgency. Teach through insight. Help your clients see their business from a new angle. Bring context, data, or perspective they haven't considered. When they walk away from a meeting thinking differently because of you, you're no longer just a vendor—you're a resource. Lead with consistency and integrity. Show up when it's easy, but also show up when it's not. Be steady, dependable, and transparent, especially when outcomes are uncertain. Indispensable consultants don't disappear when things get complicated. They stay close, communicate clearly, and make it easier for clients to move forward with confidence. When you understand deeply, teach clearly, and lead consistently, you become more than a salesperson. You become part of your clients' strategy. You become the trusted sales advisor they call first. People Buy You First Being a linchpin isn't about what you sell. It's about how you show up for the buyer. When markets shift or leadership changes, your product might change—but your presence shouldn't. People will always buy you first. Show up curious. Listen for meaning, not just for answers. Teach what you know. Stay steady when others panic. This approach moves you from being one of many to being the one they call first. That's how you go from vendor to linchpin.

Jeremiah 32 (Listen) Jeremiah Buys a Field During the Siege 32:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2 At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard that was in the palace of the king of Judah. 3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying, “Why do you prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the LORD: Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it; 4 Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye. 5 And he shall take Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he shall remain until I visit him, declares the LORD. Though you fight against the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed'?” 6 Jeremiah said, “The word of the LORD came to me: 7 Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you and say, ‘Buy my field that is at Anathoth, for the right of redemption by purchase is yours.' 8 Then Hanamel my cousin came to me in the court of the guard, in accordance with the word of the LORD, and said to me, ‘Buy my field that is at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession and redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.' Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD. 9 “And I bought the field at Anathoth from Hanamel my cousin, and weighed out the money to him, seventeen shekels of silver. 10 I signed the deed, sealed it, got witnesses, and weighed the money on scales. 11 Then I took the sealed deed of purchase, containing the terms and conditions and the open copy. 12 And I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my cousin, in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, and in the presence of all the Judeans who were sitting in the court of the guard. 13 I charged Baruch in their presence, saying, 14 ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, both this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware vessel, that they may last for a long time. 15 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.' Jeremiah Prays for Understanding 16 “After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying: 17 ‘Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. 18 You show steadfast love to thousands, but you repay the guilt of fathers to their children after them, O great and mighty God, whose name is the LORD of hosts, 19 great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds. 20 You have shown signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all mankind, and have made a name for yourself, as at this day. 21 You brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and outstretched arm, and with great terror. 22 And you gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey. 23 And they entered and took possession of it. But they did not obey your voice or walk in your law. They did nothing of all you commanded them to do. Therefore you have made all this disaster come upon them. 24 Behold, the siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and because of sword and famine and pestilence the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What you spoke has come to pass, and behold, you see it. 25 Yet you, O Lord GOD, have said to me, “Buy the field for money and get witnesses”—though the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.'” 26 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 27 “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me? 28 Therefore, thus says the LORD: Behold, I am giving this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it. 29 The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city shall come and set this city on fire and burn it, with the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods, to provoke me to anger. 30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth. The children of Israel have done nothing but provoke me to anger by the work of their hands, declares the LORD. 31 This city has aroused my anger and wrath, from the day it was built to this day, so that I will remove it from my sight 32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger—their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33 They have turned to me their back and not their face. And though I have taught them persistently, they have not listened to receive instruction. 34 They set up their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it. 35 They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

Love the episode? Send us a text!In this powerful episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, host Laura Carfang, Ed.D. sits down with philanthropist Sheri Biller of the Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation to explore the often overlooked—but absolutely essential—role of supportive cancer care.After losing her two closest friends to breast cancer over 35 years ago, Sheri made a promise: if she ever had the resources, she would dedicate her life to improving the emotional, psychological, and practical support available to everyone facing cancer. That promise became the Biller Family Foundation and later the national coalition Together for Supportive Cancer Care.This episode dives deep into:Why the words supportive care matter—and how they differ from palliative and hospice careHow siloed hospital systems leave millions without access to emotional and psychosocial supportWhy cancer is becoming an elitist disease—and how technology and policy can fix itCaregiver burnout and why Sheri believes we need a “Teach for America” for caregiversThe shocking lack of trust, education, and information in underserved and rural communitiesWhy supportive care should be a standard of care for all life-threatening illnessesIf you're a patient, caregiver, clinician, or advocate for equity in cancer care, this conversation is a must-listen.Topics We Cover✔️ Sheri's personal story and the loss that inspired her life's work ✔️ Early challenges in cancer language, communication, and stigma ✔️ Why patients “shut down” the moment they hear the word cancer ✔️ Supportive care vs palliative care—what's the difference? ✔️ Breaking barriers for rural, underserved, and Spanish-speaking communities ✔️ Why caregivers are the next major crisis in healthcare ✔️ The need for culturally competent engagement in faith communities ✔️ Financial toxicity and the real-world burdens families face ✔️ AI and the future of early diagnosis and survivorship support ✔️ How hospitals, pharma, policy, and nonprofits are finally working togetherWhy This MattersSupportive care is more than comfort—it's critical to surviving and living with cancer. From mental health to financial navigation to caregiver support, Sheri explains how integrating supportive care into every diagnosis could transform outcomes for millions.Resources: The Biller Family Foundation: https://billerfamilyfoundation.org/Donate Here and Give The Gift of HopeSupport the showLatest News: Become a Breast Cancer Conversations+ Member!

In today's prayer and devotional, we look at how the book of Psalms beautifully captures the full range of human emotion — fear, joy, sorrow, confusion, hope, and worship. Again and again, the psalmists show us how to bring our honest hearts before God. They question, lament, struggle… and yet they always return to praise. Every psalm reminds us that no matter what surrounds us, there is always a reason to give thanks. Thankfulness isn’t meant to be a once-a-year practice reserved for November. Scripture calls believers to live in continual gratitude because thanksgiving keeps our hearts aligned with God’s presence. Gratitude reminds us that everything we have — our breath, our salvation, our strength, our daily bread — is a gift from Him. Thanksgiving reorients our hearts to what is eternal, meaningful, and true. Psalm 100 calls us not just to be thankful, but to enter God’s presence with thanksgiving. Gratitude ushers us closer to Him. It shifts our focus from our worries to His character, from our circumstances to His promises. When we practice thanksgiving regularly, negativity loosens its grip, and joy has room to grow. If we want to become people marked by gratitude all year long, we must build rhythms that keep thanksgiving close. Simple habits — praying with gratitude, sharing weekly joys with loved ones, keeping a list of God’s provision — help shape our hearts toward continual praise. These small practices produce big transformation: clearer spiritual vision, improved attitude, softer hearts, and deeper peace. Thanksgiving isn’t only an action — it’s a posture. A rhythm. A way of life that draws us nearer to the God whose love endures forever. Bible Reading:“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!Serve the Lord with gladness!Come into his presence with singing!Know that the Lord, he is God!It is he who made us, and we are his;we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.Enter his gates with thanksgiving,and his courts with praise!Give thanks to him; bless his name!For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever,and his faithfulness to all generations.”— Psalm 100:1–5 Takeaway Truths Thanksgiving ushers our hearts into God’s presence. Gratitude reminds us that every good thing comes from God. Daily and weekly rhythms of thankfulness strengthen our faith. Gratitude softens negativity, bitterness, and discouragement. Practicing thanksgiving year-round transforms our hearts and our lives. Let’s Pray Father, thank You for every way You faithfully provide for us. Your grace is abundant and Your goodness is constant. Help us weave gratitude into our daily, weekly, and yearly rhythms so that thanksgiving becomes the steady posture of our hearts. Teach us to see Your hand at work in our lives. Give us humility to honor You as the giver of every good gift. Fill our hearts with joy as we reflect on Your goodness and Your unfailing love. Open our hearts to healing, forgiveness, and freedom as we grow in gratitude. Let thanksgiving shape our words, our attitudes, and our homes. May our thankfulness point others to You — the One who gives life, hope, and every blessing. Amen.

What did the early church believe about the atonement? David Bercot takes us through the early church writers to show that they didn't think of the atonement through the same frameworks we have about the atonement. David explains that the ante-Nicene Fathers did not teach penal substitutionary atonement (PSA); rather, PSA is a modern interpretation read back into the original texts.Our episode with Dean TaylorDavid Bercot's series on the atonementDictionary of Early Christian BeliefsChristus Victor: An Historical Study of the Three Main Types of the Idea of AtonementOrthodox Study Bible with the SeptuagintThis is the 295th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.Sign-up for our monthly email newsletter which contains new and featured content!Join us on Patreon or become a website partner to enjoy bonus content!Visit our YouTube channel or connect on Facebook.Read essays from our blog or listen to them on our podcast, Essays for King JesusSubscribe on your podcast provider of choiceSupport us or learn more at anabaptistperspectives.org.The views expressed by our guests are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Anabaptist Perspectives or Wellspring Mennonite Church.

In this episode of Our Classroom, host Roberto Germán explores how emotion and identity serve as the gateway to authentic literacy engagement. Drawing from his presentation Reading with Purpose, Writing with Passion, Roberto invites educators to rethink what truly keeps students — especially reluctant and multilingual writers — from fully engaging with reading and writing. Through student testimony, classroom strategies, and reflections from Blue Ink Tears, this episode centers literacy as a human experience before it becomes an academic one. When students are seen, heard, and affirmed, reading and writing transform from tasks into tools for expression, healing, and connection.

In this episode I give a brief introduction into Mystery Schools and their teachings. Many people have past lives associated with these Mystery Schools, which can often impact what they are drawn to learn more about in this lifetime. I Introduce the 'seven great mysteries' identified by Rudolph Steiner in his 1906 lecture: the mystery of the abyss, the mystery of number, the mystery of alchemy, the mystery of death, the mystery of evil, the mystery of the word (logos), and the mystery of divine bliss.

The Power of Patience #RTTBROS #Nightlight"Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." — Psalm 37:7You know, I came across a story recently that stopped me in my tracks. It's about a man named George Washington Carver, and I think it'll speak to something we all struggle with.Now, most of us know Carver as the brilliant scientist who revolutionized agriculture in the South. But here's what most people don't know: when Carver applied to Highland College in Kansas, he was accepted based on his exceptional academic record. But when he showed up to enroll, they took one look at him and turned him away because he was Black. Can you imagine? You've worked so hard, you've been accepted, and then the door slams in your face.But here's where the story gets interesting. Carver didn't give up. He didn't get bitter. He waited. He worked odd jobs. He kept learning. Years later, Iowa State University not only accepted him, they made him their first Black student. And it was there that he developed his groundbreaking agricultural research.But wait, there's more to this story. Remember that college that rejected him? Highland College? Years later, they realized their mistake and tried to make amends. But by then, Carver had become so accomplished that he graciously declined their belated offer. God's timing had proven perfect.I've been thinking about this because we live in such an instant world. We want the microwave answer, the overnight success, the immediate breakthrough. But God, He works on a different timetable. And I'm too soon old and too late smart on this one, but I've learned that His delays are not His denials.The psalmist tells us to "rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him." Notice those words: rest and wait. They're not passive words, they're trust words. When you're resting in God, you're not fretting, you're not scheming, you're not trying to force doors open that God has closed for your protection.Carver could have become bitter. He could have given up on education altogether. But he kept his hands open and his heart soft, and God used that rejection to position him exactly where he needed to be to change the world.Maybe you're facing a closed door today. Maybe you've been waiting so long you're starting to wonder if God's forgotten about you. He hasn't. Sometimes He's protecting you from something that looks good but isn't best. Sometimes He's preparing you for something bigger than you can imagine. And sometimes, like with Carver, He's proving that His plans are always better than ours.History is just HIS story, friend, and you're an important part of it. Trust His timing.**Let's pray:** Father, help us to rest in You when doors close and dreams get delayed. Teach us to wait patiently, knowing that Your timing is perfect and Your plans are always good. Give us the faith to trust You, even when we can't see what You're doing.

From history teacher to CEO, Dan Peltz never planned on becoming an entrepreneur — but when he saw a gap in how young adults with special needs were supported after graduation, he built something extraordinary. This week, the Blue Collar Twins, Jason and Jeremy Julio, sit down with the founder of Shift New Jersey to uncover how a simple idea turned into a statewide service helping thousands — and ultimately, a multi-million-dollar acquisition. Dan shares how he launched Shift with no business experience, survived losing his investors just six months in, and scaled the company to 40+ employees and over a thousand clients served each month. He opens up about leadership lessons from the front lines — building systems, hiring for personality over experience, and surrounding himself with mentors who kept him grounded through growth. Now serving as Director of Organizational Effectiveness for the company that acquired Shift, Dan reflects on what it takes to balance impact with income — and why sometimes the right move isn't to double down, but to step back.

When a handful of students seem determined to derail your lesson plans, it can feel like your classroom is running you instead of the other way around. But the most successful teachers know how to redirect chaos into cooperation by understanding what's driving the disruption and transforming it into engagement. Doing so not only protects the learning environment for all students but also turns disruptive behavior into positive leadership opportunities. In today's episode, I'm sharing practical tools and strategies you can use when your energy feels consumed by managing challenging behaviors, so you can refocus it on learning.

Gratitude often feels effortless when life is going well — when prayers are answered, when blessings are obvious, when joy overflows naturally. But for most of us, gratitude is forged not on the mountaintops, but in the rhythms of ordinary days. The days that feel repetitive. The days that feel quiet. The days when nothing "big" seems to be happening. Scripture calls us to “give thanks in all circumstances.” Not just in the exciting ones, but in the everyday ones — the soft glow of morning light, the warmth of a cup of coffee, the sound of laughter around the dinner table, the simple grace of making it through another day. Gratitude in these small, sacred places keeps our hearts aligned with God’s presence and shifts our eyes from what we lack to who He is. God’s goodness is not an occasional event; it is a continuous presence woven into the fabric of our daily lives. When we slow down enough to notice His fingerprints — a gentle breeze, a familiar verse speaking fresh truth, a moment of quiet peace — we begin to experience the miracle of everyday grace. Jesus Himself modeled this when He gave thanks for five loaves and two fish before the miracle. Gratitude prepared the way. In a world obsessed with “more,” the Kingdom teaches us to treasure “enough.” Gratitude invites joy into what feels simple. It transforms routine moments into holy ground. It reminds us that every breath is evidence of God’s kindness. If your life feels plain, small, or uneventful right now, take heart. God is in the small things too. Sometimes the quiet seasons are where He speaks the loudest. Today's Bible Reading:“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Takeaway Truths Gratitude is not based on circumstances but on God’s unchanging character. Small daily blessings reveal God’s ongoing presence and care. Thanksgiving trains our hearts toward contentment and joy. Jesus modeled gratitude even before His miracles unfolded. The ordinary moments of life can become sacred when we slow down and notice God. Let’s Pray Father, thank You for the small things — the quiet gifts I often overlook. Forgive me for rushing past Your goodness while waiting for something “bigger” to celebrate. Open my eyes to notice You in the daily moments — in laughter, in silence, in the simple routines of my life. Thank You for breath in my lungs, sunlight through my window, food on my table, and the people who love me. Thank You even for the inconveniences that remind me of the blessings behind them. Teach me to live with continual gratitude — not because everything is perfect, but because You are perfect and Your plans for me are good. Help me pause, notice, and whisper thank You throughout the ordinary moments. Let my life become a continual offering of thanksgiving to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

He is the atoning sacrifice for sins, not only for believers but for the entire world. Proper knowledge of Christ is demonstrated through obedience to His commands. Those who claim to know God yet do not obey are not being truthful. Love for God is perfected through obedience. John urges believers to live as Jesus did. He also presents a new yet old commandment to love one another. Hatred reveals darkness, while love shows that one walks in the light. John warns against loving the world and its temporary desires. He speaks of antichrists and urges believers to remain in Christ, holding to the gospel they heard from the beginning.   We strive to live in a way that reflects our connection to Jesus. Obedience is not merely about following rules; it is about showing love and loyalty to God. When we fail, we can turn to Jesus, who speaks on our behalf. His grace enables us to move forward. We desire to be people who love others deeply and walk in the light, avoiding anger or bitterness. The world presents distractions and empty promises, but we choose God and eternal life. We aim to remain rooted in truth, steadfast in our faith, and committed to living like Christ. Each day is an opportunity to grow in love, remain faithful, and abide in Jesus, as we devote ourselves to practicing righteousness.   Glorious Lord, thank You for the gift of Jesus, who speaks on our behalf and covers our sins with His sacrifice. Help us live in a way that shows our gratitude for Him. Teach us to obey Your commands with joy and sincerity. Fill our hearts with compassion so we may love others as You have loved us. Guard us against the distractions and temptations of the world that draw us away from You. Keep us grounded in what is eternal. Help us remain in You, walking in the light, growing in faith, and becoming more like Christ each day.  Thought Questions: What does it mean that Jesus is your Advocate with the Father? How does His position affect your desire to be obedient to Him? How important is your love for God and love for others? Why are these fundamental to every single thing you do in Christ? What are the three basic tools of the devil to allure you to the temporary? How do you ready your mind and will to resist his temptations?

In this class, I break down why I believe socialism is a bad idea. I start by explaining what socialism actually means, then I get into why I'm not doing a counter-episode like I usually do. The truth is, I can't make an honest argument in favor of something that disconnects effort from reward. When you remove responsibility, initiative, and growth, people get weaker, not stronger. So this one is straight to the point—I'm telling you exactly why socialism doesn't work and why this conversation is one-sided on purpose.

Waiting rarely feels like a blessing. In today's prayer and devotional, we reflect on how waiting often feels like life is passing us by while our prayers remain unanswered. Whether the longing is for a child, a marriage, healing, clarity, or a breakthrough, seasons of waiting can stir deep discouragement. But Scripture assures us that God is good to those who wait for Him, not only after the answer comes but in the waiting itself. Waiting is not wasted time — it is often the place where God does His most transformative work. Gratitude during waiting does not minimize the pain; instead, it shifts our focus from what we lack to the God who is present with us. The “soil seasons” are where roots grow deep, character is formed, and faith matures. The author shares her own story of longing for motherhood — a journey marked by years of delay, painful loss, and a NICU stay that tested her trust all over again. Through that journey, she discovered that the miracle was not only the child she finally held, but the heart God formed within her while she waited. The same is true for us: the waiting shapes us in ways the answer never could. If you find yourself in the difficult tension of waiting today, know this: you are not being overlooked or forgotten. You are being prepared. God is aligning details you cannot see. Gratitude becomes a doorway to peace, grounding you in His goodness even when the future feels uncertain. Today's Bible Reading:“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.” – Lamentations 3:25 Main Takeaways Waiting is not punishment; it is preparation. God is actively working in the unseen details of your life. Gratitude invites God into your ache and strengthens your faith. Seasons of waiting shape you for the blessings to come. God's timing is perfect — His delays are not denials. A Prayer to Give Thanks in the Seasons of Waiting Father, thank You for being with me in the waiting. Thank You for the ways You’re working, even when I cannot see it. Forgive me for the moments I’ve doubted Your goodness or tried to move ahead of Your plan. Teach me to find peace right here — not in the next season, but in Your presence with me now. Help me choose gratitude even in uncertainty. Thank You for shaping my faith, deepening my dependence, and strengthening my trust. Thank You that Your timing is perfect, and You do not withhold good from those who walk with You. Help me to rest, to release control, and to trust that Your delays are not denials. Prepare my heart for whatever You have ahead, and help me wait well with a spirit of praise and expectation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
