Welcome from the snowy MN  I'm so grateful for you! I hope you had a Blessed Thanksgiving Day if you are in the US!  We had lots of family time and Thanksgiving and Christmas activities.  I was really reflecting on this last year for us and all that we have done because of the steps God is taking us through & just how thankful I am for every single day.  The intentional and slow days we are truly blessed with are surely not taken for granted.  This month we have had Grandkids here for almost the whole month & all of that time with them is so special.  If I was working a traditional job, I would not be available as I am now and it really got me thinking about this. Parents drop off kids for 8 to 10  hours a day 5 days a weekThey drive to a job that pays for daycare, their car and home they don't own. Then gov takes 25-40% of income which is the same Gov that created the broken food system where the cheapest calories are the ones that poison you Ingredients banned in other countries, are “totally fine” here in the US We work ourselves to death and then eat food that slowly kills us and that what we call normal. Here is our plan to opt out: We invested in skills that pay-Not another degrees, but skills we can use to work from home for our online business. We try to eat real food while keeping the price down as much as possible, which means cooking from scratch and not eating out or getting takeout.  That is a very RARE occasion here. We make as many products ourselves with natural ingredients such as laundry detergents, soaps and it is usually cheaper and non toxic but with natural ingredients. We don't upgrade our cars, we drive them until they can't run anymore, not because we can't afford it, but because we value giving to causes with eternal rewards rather than looking good for others on earth.  We live for deeper meaning and being the hands and feet of Jesus.  We long to hear Well done, good and faithful servant.   And as a result there is no rat race, just peace here because we have control over the way we live. This is our path out, 1 decision at a time I would love for you to join me on this movement of glorifying God while building a business from home and keeping an intentional life. I believe there is more to life than just running on this hamster wheel most people think is normal.   If you are ready to enjoy every day with the Bigger Plans God has for you, you are in the right place.  Follow me on Instagram @claimingsimplicity as I unpack more of what God is calling me to for you.

After a beautiful Thanksgiving break filled with family, joy, and quality time with her girls in Napa, Cecelia checks in to share a moment of gratitude, presence, and rest. From brunch with her friends to a ladies-only tasting room, a turkey trot, hosting Thanksgiving dinner, and kicking off the Christmas season, she soaked in every moment of connection. And now? She's gearing up for something BIG:

This week the guys reflect on their Thanksgiving day festivities and get into the convos that nobody else has. They dive into the T-Pain interview that was trending for a few days. Along with the new Diddy documentary in production, along with some other “normal” conversations. Let's get into it!!!

Matt Jones and Drew Franklin are still buzzing over an amazing few days of Thanksgiving NFL and Week 13! Which teams do Matt no longer consider a contender? Drew is looking for a strong finish from the Bengals. The Cowboys and Chiefs delivered a classic and leave you wondering about the future of both franchises. The Lions have lost 2 of 3 while the Packers are coming together. The Bears win makes Matt think they have a chance this season. What has happened to the Eagles and Saquon Barkley? The Rams took a surprising loss to the Panthers. Matt likes showing the locker room speeches, but thinks shirts should be left on. The Texans improved to 7-5 win a win over the Colts. Shedeur Sanders loses his 2nd start for the Browns. The Bucs ended a 3 game losing streak. The Vikings season continues to slide. Justin Herbert injures his non-throwing hand and Matt says he might be 'afraid' of Maxx Crosby. The Steelers fall to the Bills leaving plenty of questions about Pittsburgh. Drew admits to watching a Hallmark movie about the Bills. The Broncos win in overtime, could they be a Super Bowl contender? This could be the most wide-open playoffs we've ever seen. Plus, we preview the MNF matchup with the Patriots hosting the Giants. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A grateful heart brings peace in pain, and practicing thankfulness reshapes our perspective when life feels overwhelming. Megan J. Conner highlights Psalm 107:1, showing that gratitude is rooted in God’s enduring goodness, not our circumstances. When we intentionally look beyond what hurts, we begin to notice the often-overlooked blessings around us, even in the hardest seasons. Highlights Gratitude starts with God’s unchanging goodness, not life going “right.” Pain makes thankfulness harder—so it must be practiced, not assumed. Our brains remember hurt more than joy; gratitude rewires that default. Small moments of goodness (sunrise, quiet, creation) carry spiritual weight. Daily gratitude builds resilience and steadies a hurting heart. Thankfulness grows stronger the earlier and more consistently we choose it.

Full Transcript Below: How to Be Thankful When Life Hurts By Megan J. Conner Bible Reading:“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” - Psalm 107:1 (NIV) Do you feel like your current season of life is so hard that you struggle to find reasons to be thankful? Perhaps your relationships are strained, your finances are tight, or your health has become a daily battle. These challenging circumstances can crush your spirit and your ability to recognize the good when the bad screams so loud it deafens any other thoughts. This discontentment can feel especially acute during the holidays. For many of us, these festive seasons can be reminders of all that appears missing. However, no matter what is going on in each of our lives, there is always something to be grateful for. Likely, there are more reasons than we realize to be thankful. But it takes intentional effort to see the good rather than the bad. If we look to scripture for guidance in this area, it is abundantly clear we are not the only ones who wrestle with faithfully fostering a thankful heart. The psalmist and king, David, shares his angst and feelings of displeasure and dissatisfaction when he declares: “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God…” (Ps. 42:5, NIV). I am not sure what David was facing when he penned these words, but it is clear his soul needed a forced redirection towards the goodness of God. Beyond this example, we can see repeated exhortations throughout the Word calling us to stir up a spirit of gratitude, even when we feel nothing of the sort. The Bible tells us we should always give thanks to God the Father (Eph. 5:20), give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thes. 5:18), and we should live our lives rooted and built up in Him, strengthening our faith as we were taught, overflowing with thankfulness (Col. 2:6). When concepts or guidelines are repeated in the Word, we can know the Lord is trying to tell us something. He is trying to get our attention. This recurring thematic instruction to intentionally push past our feelings of lack towards recognizing and rejoicing in the present abundance, confirms how challenging this can be for many of us. Why? Because, against all logical reasoning, our brains recall traumatic or harmful events far more than moments filled with joy or comfort. As such, we have to put effort into recognizing all of the wonderful, beautiful, and valuable blessings already present in our daily lives. It is amazing what we can notice if we simply look up and out beyond our unwelcome or undesirable circumstances. When was the last time you took a walk or simply stood out on your back porch to gaze upon the stars in the night sky? Or instead of rushing through your morning coffee and out the door, waking up just five minutes earlier so you can sit in the quiet and savor the warm comfort in your mug as the sun rises to greet the new day? Each one of these simple, small recognitions can add up to big change in your perspective and your overall sense of optimism and fulfillment during the holidays. Just like everything else, practice makes permanent. The more you choose to intentionally practice thankfulness, even when life hurts, the more you will discover a continual sense of peace and serenity that will carry you through any and all seasons of life. Intersecting Faith & Life: How is your heart during this holiday season? Is it filled with worship, awe, and thankfulness for the gifts of God, or is it overwhelmed with dread and disappointment? Have you intentionally practiced gratitude in the past? If so, how did it help to reassure your heart during difficult times? I encourage you to use this season as a reason to implement the daily practice of gratitude. Use a journal, the notes on your phone, a “thankful” jar, sticky notes, or take photos – whatever feels most appealing to you as a form of documentation. Then, challenge yourself to find at least one thing to be thankful for each day. It can be as small as the fall of the first snow or a smile from a stranger in the grocery line. After you have successfully recognized one reason to be thankful each day, see if you can add more to your list. Before you know it, your heart will automatically recognize blessings without you even consciously looking for them.

Listen to a message from Emmanuel Baptist Church of Longview, TX.Support the show

True contentment isn't found in having more, but in finding satisfaction in Christ alone. The Apostle Paul, writing from prison, reveals that contentment must be learned through experience and intentional practice. Three main contentment killers destroy our peace: consumerism and materialism, comparison with others, and complaining with ingratitude. Instead of pursuing more possessions or circumstances, we can develop contentment by rejoicing daily with thanksgiving, replacing anxiety with prayer, and reordering our priorities around Christ. When we find true contentment in Jesus, it naturally overflows into generous living and open-handed giving to others.

In this final message of the Thankful Heart series, Will reminds us that the church doesn't exist just to gather—it exists to be sent. Pointing to Jesus' words in John 20 and the Great Commission in Matthew 28, this sermon calls us back to the mission that matters most: making disciples.

And be thankful.16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.Psalm 50:23 The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me. Hebrews 12:28–29 28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,29 for our God is a consuming fire.Revelation 7:9–12   9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,12 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”Colossians 1:11-12    11 Being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy;12 give thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.INTRODUCTION: Thanksgiving as a Lifestyle A THANKFUL HEART BRINGS REVIVAL INTO OUR RELATIONSHIPS          Colossians 3:15–17“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts… And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly… with thankfulness…do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks…”A THANKFUL HEART RESTORES TRUE WORSHIP         Psalm 50:23  “The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies Me…”A THANKFUL HEART PRODUCES OBEDIENT FAITH               Hebrews 12:28–29“Let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship…”A THANKFUL HEART IGNITES EVANGELISM AND MISSION              Revelation 7:9–12 “A great multitude… crying out… ‘Thanksgiving be to our God forever!'” A THANKFUL HEART ENDURES UNTIL THE END              Colossians 1:11-12 11 being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy;12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. Conclusion: ThanksLiving 

What are you most thankful for this Thanksgiving?In this powerful 2025 Thanksgiving weekend message, Pastor Dennis (70 years old, born 1955) shares his personal story and the 3 things he's most thankful for after 45 years of walking with Jesus.You'll hear:-How he went from being a Wall Street party guy and nominal Catholic to discovering he was actually an enemy of God-The night in 1980 when he finally surrendered 100% to the REAL Jesus of the Bible (not the cultural or “historical” Jesus)-Why true peace with God (Romans 5:1) is the greatest gift any person can receive-How God cares for His children daily in ways we often overlook-The joy of being “in the ditch” working alongside God to reach the lostIf you've ever wondered:• “Do I really have peace with God?”• “Am I following the Jesus of the Bible or a fake version?”• “What does genuine thankfulness look like?”…this message is for you.Romans 5:1 – “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

What SILLY things are you Thankful for now that Thanksgiving is in the rear-view? Also - we have a listener that is now responsible for a new sign at the gym!!! 

Sunday, November 30, 2025Thankful for the Church1 Thessalonians 5:16-1816 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.What are you thankful for? We just had a holiday that was founded around the idea of thankfulness. But were we able to set aside some time and truly be thankful? All of us are going through different things right now. But could we all take a moment and make a list of at least a few things that we are thankful for? I could start listing things for you but what is closest to you heart? Is it people? Events? Moments? Are there specific things that come to mind? Your list could include almost anything. Your list is a result of your life experiences. Your upbringing. The choices that you have made along the way. What is on your list? We pray that this Sunday we get to share of the few of the things on our list!

So if you need a new ebook this winter, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 279 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is November 24th, 2025, and today I'm discussing five things I'm thankful for as an indie author for this Thanksgiving themed episode. As you might guess, I am recording this a little early to get ahead of the [United States] Thanksgiving holiday, but all the news and updates should still be current. We will start off with Coupon of the Week and then a progress update on my current writing and publishing projects. First up is Coupon of the Week and this week's coupon code will get you 25% off all the ebooks in the Ghost Exile series at my Payhip store. And that code is EXILE2025, and as always, the coupon code and the link to my store will be available in the show notes. This coupon code is valid through December 8, 2025, so if you need a new ebook this winter as we head into the Christmas season, we've got you covered. Now an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. Blade of Shadows is done and it should be available on all the ebook stores: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Smashwords, and my own Payhip store. Initial reviews and reactions have been positive, so thank you all very much for that. My next main project is Wizard-Assassin, and that will be the fifth book in the Half-Elven Thief series. If my math is right, I think I'm about 25% of the way through the rough draft, and my goal is to get that out on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited before Christmas 2025, which will make (hopefully if all goes well) Wizard-Assassin the final book I publish in 2025. The first book I hopefully publish in 2026 will be Blade of Storms, the third book in the Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series, and the direct sequel to Blade of Shadows. I am about a thousand words into Blade of Storms, so just starting and hopefully that will be the first book I publish in 2026 (if all goes well). In audiobook news, Blade of Shadows…the status of that is pretty much the same as the last time I recorded three days ago. It's available at some of the audiobook stores but hasn't finished processing and gotten up on ACX yet. That was narrated by Brad Wills. We are approaching proof copies of the audiobook of Cloak of Embers, and that will be narrated by Hollis McCarthy. So that is where we are at with my current writing, publishing and audiobook projects. 00:02:24 Main Topic: 5 Things to Be Thankful For as an Indie Author So let's move on to our main topic in keeping with the Thanksgiving holiday, which is only a few days away as I record this and was only a few days past when this episode was live, and that is five things to be thankful for as an indie author because I do spend on the show a lot of time talking about the various challenges and difficulties of being an indie author, but there are a lot of things to be thankful for as well. So as I said before, the Thanksgiving holiday is coming up here in the United States and that day always leads [me] to reflect on what we have to be thankful for. And one of the things at the top of my list is my work as an indie author and publisher. Today I'm going to talk about five things that I can be thankful for as an indie author and that other indie authors may be thankful for as well. #1: Creative freedom. As I've talked about before on this podcast, the most immediate benefit to indie publishing is not having to make creative compromises in order to get published. For example, you can make a series the exact length that you want it to be, not what the market can support. You can write in whatever genre, style, and using the themes you want without any interference. As we all know, traditional publishing is pretty trend driven and they seek out books that match trends because they are very risk averse. There's a time about a decade and a half ago when publishers were outright telling authors not to submit books with goblins and orcs and other traditional fantasy creatures, for example. Instead of trying to change your book or writing style in order to get accepted by traditional publishing, indie publishing allows you to create and share the exact book that you want to and then it can rise and fall on its own merits and how well you market it. In fact, what has been traditionally called genre writing (such as categories [like] science fiction and fantasy and mystery and so forth) have flourished without the constraints of traditional publishing. The Internet and platforms like Amazon and the other ebook platforms as well have made it easy for readers to discover books that fit in their preferred genres and styles, not what publishers think they want to read. #2: Freedom from bad deals. The traditional publishing industry is not quite as exploitative as the music industry, but it is not through a lack of trying. Bad deals abound in traditional publishing because they're relying on the fact that new authors want to be published so badly that they're willing to compromise on things like royalty rates, exclusivity agreements, and control over rights. This mindset persists quite strongly even today where if you go on any of the social media platforms, you'll see writers desperately trying to get themselves an agent rather than doing what they should be doing, self-publishing and learning digital marketing. The amounts paid out in advances (which is the amount that publishers pay authors before a book is released) are decreasing and fewer and fewer books are earning out (which means that the author receives royalties beyond the initial advance). Romance writers are especially benefiting from indie publishing because one of the top publishers in that genre is known to make deals that don't favor the author such as low advances and royalty rates, and they don't allow for contract negotiations. Indie publishing gives you the ability to get published and get your book to readers without taking a bad deal from a publisher or worse yet, turning to scammers. And unfortunately, there are a lot of scammers out there. In indie publishing, where you publish is what determines how much you receive. Each platform has their own royalty setup and payment structures, and you'll get paid far more often (usually monthly, sometimes quarterly) and have the ability to review book sales in real time instead of waiting for quarterly statements (if that or sometimes biannual statements) from a publisher that feel like they're written in hieroglyphics. If you're publishing on a direct sales platform like Pay Hip or Shopify, you can get as much as 90% of each sale and you don't have to wait for a book to reach the mysterious point where it earns out in order to get that money because the money is immediately available to you, although usually after a period of 60 days or so. And if you are an indie author, you don't have to worry about your publisher canceling your active series because of sales that the publisher doesn't like, which is allowed in a standard traditional publishing contract. It's becoming increasingly common to have publishers do this even when the next book in the series is ready for publication or even scheduled for publication. Indie authors can always complete a series for their readers, (which I've been able to do with Stealth and Spells Online most recently, for example). #3: Write [and] release at your own pace. There are no, or at the very least, very, very, very few traditional publishers that would let me have the frequent release schedule I currently have. For example, Blade of Flames came out in September, and then Blade of Shadows is coming out right now in the gap of only two months. Publishing still thinks in terms of seasonal releases, especially the fall and spring release seasons. The schedules for these releases are created far, far in advance and don't change all that much. In self-publishing, there is no one bumping your release to another season or telling you that you can't put out a book because a similar book is coming out at the same time. If you want to put out a book monthly like the pulp writers of old, you are completely free to do that. I do that myself when possible because I'm hoping there's less about a month gap between Blade Shadows and Wizard Assassin. #4: Control over your online brand. Traditional publishers like their authors to have a strong social media presence and heavily favor authors with a large and preexisting follower account. They even give pre-written social posts to their authors or require pre-approval from their team before posting on social media. With indie publishing, you are completely free to exist online in the way that makes the most sense and is the healthiest for you, and no one is telling you what you can or you can post. You can post as much as you want or even forego certain media platforms altogether or as many of them as you want. For myself, I like to post about my hobbies like vintage video games, even though that's a not a high engagement topic that the algorithm favors. There is no one telling me what I can post or trying get me to increase my follower count as a condition of getting future contracts. #5: And for me personally, the fifth and final thing to be thankful for that we'll discuss on this episode is the ability to make a living and hire others. And obviously this is a big, big, big thing to be grateful for. I've been an indie author for 14 and a half years now, and a full-time one for over nine years, and I was able to hire people to help me two and a half years ago with many non-writing tasks such as Amazon Ads, podcast transcripts, bookkeeping, and so forth. I have also been able to hire narrators like Brad Wills, Hollis McCarthy, C.J. McCallister, and Leanne Woodward to produce my audiobooks since the majority of my audiobooks are self-funded by me. I don't have to rely on a team that a publisher that has been picked out for me, and I can choose my own team as an indie author, or I can do everything myself, which is what I really did for the first 11 years. Unlike a team that a traditional publisher that has been spread too thin across an increasing number of authors, the team I hire is focused on making the best ebook or audiobook we can, and we're all on the same page. The ability to make a living at my work and even hire others is because of all of you. I am very, very grateful for all of you who have read my books and listened to my audiobooks, and so thank you very much, and we hopefully we will have new things for you to read and listen to in the coming months and in 2026. In conclusion, there is a lot to be thankful for in the world of indie publishing. Although it is hard work, the benefits of being an indie author over a traditionally published one are significant, and I suspect they're only going to grow over time as the traditional publishing industry continues to consolidate into one or two few mega corporations. So for Thanksgiving 2025, I'm grateful for all of my readers who allow me to be an indie author, and thank you once again for all of your support. So that's it for this week.

The post Risen in Christ, Thankful in Life – 11/30/25 appeared first on North Hills Church.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our series focusing on the women found in Jesus's genealogy.Today, we step into Rahab's story… a story that's both surprising and uncomfortably honest because Rahab isn't who you'd expect to find in the family line of Jesus. Her past is messy. Her life is shaped by a broken culture. And yet, God sees her. He pursues her. He welcomes her in.And I think that's why this story hits so close to home.All of us walk in with something we wish we could rewrite: a mistake, a moment, a season. And Rahab reminds us that God isn't waiting for a cleaner version of us. He meets us right where we are and invites us into something better.So as we hear the message, hold this thought: Your past doesn't get the final say. God does.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on November 30, 2025, at 9:30am.

11-30-2025 - Thankful Always by Pastor Adam Bennett

Do you feel like you're wandering in a spiritual wilderness? In this message, Ann Nunnally, founding co-pastor of Victory Fellowship Church, shares how to leave your spiritual wilderness and enter the promised land that God has prepared for you. "The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure."1 Corinthians 10:13 NLTGod is still there in the place of wilderness and trials. Sometimes temptation doesn't find us, we find it. Yet, God is always with us. 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 tells us of the wilderness journey of the Hebrew people. There are 5 "scorpions" from the wilderness that we need to be aware of. Serpents and scorpions are used to describe our spiritual enemy. They hide in the darkness and live in the desert places. Don't walk in the desert, walk in the fullness of what God has for you. 1) Lust - desire for "more" - strong intense desire to please oneself through possessions, greed, money, or power. 2) Idolatry - a sin of spiritually immature people - Saul's idol was his self-image in front of the people. Aaron made the golden calf (sin of idolatry because of what the people wanted; he wanted to please the people). Idolatry is when something is more important to you than God. When the Lord corrects you, it's not because He hates you; it's because He loves you. 3) Sexual Immorality - God cannot bless sexual immorality. he cannot bless what He doesn't ordain. God blesses those united in covenant marriage. 4) Tempting the Lord - When you have the attitude that I am the exception. It is not the Lord's responsibility to help you sin. You can't defy sound judgement and expect God to make things right. God is not a vending machine. 5) Murmuring and Complaining - this indicates a lack of faith in God's will. Murmuring and complaining is the path to division. We want to have thankful hearts. A thankful heart is the gateway into the presence of God. Are you wondering in the wilderness unable to walk in all God has for you?God wants you to walk in victory. Luke 10:19 : God gives His disciples authority over the enemy. Luke 4:1-14 : Jesus was tempted and He overcame the enemy by the word of God. He came out with the power of the Spirit. The wilderness is a place where you learn to tread on serpents and you come out in the power of the Spirit. The purpose of temptation is not death by scorpion bite, but victory and the ability to walk in the power of the Spirit. 

In this podcast we give our family and friends the mic to share what they are thankful for during this season.  What are you thankful for?  With Jesus in our hearts and minds we are thankful for so much.  swdyouthink@gmail.com

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – While we all have a lot to give thanks for, I think limiting it to one day a year deprives us all of something important. For example, many people today stop before their feast and list what they're thankful for: family, friends, a warm home, and a good meal. Have you taken the time to think of the small things we can be thankful for?

From Keltie's aggressively practical love language, to Becca's shockingly heartfelt friendship confessions, to Jac's unhinged guilty pleasures (no one is surprised), the trio gets real about what's filling their cups… and what's draining them dry.
