Podcasts about treasured

Imagine life as a journey that begins as a curious child learning to walk and speaks—a path full of wonder, mistakes, and choices. In this episode the host becomes our guide through Scripture, using vivid images and personal invitation to show how knowledge, understanding, and wisdom mark the trail we walk. We follow Solomon's voice in Proverbs as he reveals the surprising foundation of all true learning: the fear of the Lord. Treasured like silver and hidden riches, wisdom is gained by disciplined pursuit—inclining the ear, seeking with urgency, and letting reverent awe of God reframe who we are and where we are going. Listen as the episode draws the map from curiosity to conviction, from facts to applied faith, ending in a delight in the Lord that guards your steps.

A tiny island in the French West Indies, St. Barthélemy was long the ugly duckling of the Caribbean, a barren volcanic rock loved by few, aside from the often-inbred descendants of the first French settlers who arrived in the 17th century. Today, St. Barth is recognized worldwide as the luxury travel destination for the super-rich. At the height of its high season, between Christmas and New Year's Day, the island's harbor is transformed into a parking lot for superyachts, and its beaches, restaurants, and clubs become the ultimate see-and-be-seen scene. In Treasured Island, Treasured Island: The Story of St. Barth…and Its Barbarians, Billionaires, and Beauties (June 16, 2026; Harper Collins; ISBN: 978-0063410961; $32.00; Hardcover), Gross shares 8 never revealed island secretsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Maïa Dunphy will tell us about the treasured possessions and surprising discoveries about her granny that feature in this week's Museum of Me.

Let's be real. The culture is obsessed with making us want to blend in. It's like there's this unspoken rule that says you have to follow the trends to be okay. But here's the truth: God didn't design you to blend in. He called you to stand out. Welcome back to Part 2 of our "Us vs. The Culture" series on the UncommonTEEN Podcast! In this episode, Coach Jamie is joined by co-hosts Kayleigh, Rosie, and Sadie to talk about the massive pressure teens face to compromise what they believe just to keep the peace. We dive into the life of Daniel—a teenager who lived in a culture that tried to completely strip away his identity. He made one decision that changed everything, and it created a ripple effect that gave his friends the courage to stand strong too. If you are tired of swimming upstream alone, feeling exhausted by the constant scroll of social media, or wondering how God really sees you, this episode is exactly what you need to hear today. ✨ THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Coach Jamie challenges you to write down 3 "I AM" statements based on who God says you are (Beautiful, Valuable, Treasured!). Stick them on your mirror or your wall to remind yourself of your true identity!

He [Jesus] lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son that the Son may glorify You, since You have given Him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I glorified You on earth, having accomplished the work that You gave Me to do. And now, Father, glorify Me in Your own presence with the glory that I had with You before the world existed. I have manifested Your Name to the people whom You gave Me out of the world. Yours they were, and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. Now they know that everything that You have given Me is from You. For I have given them the words that You gave Me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. All Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your Name, which You have given Me, that they may be one, even as We are One.” (John 17:1b-11)

Jesus cherished the delivery and celebration of his New Covenant to us wherein we could finally fellowship deeply with Him through the indwelling Spirit and gave us Communion to remember this and how it took the willing death of Jesus to accomplish it.

This weekend, Tomara continued our series on the Body, focusing on shame and insecurity. Lindsay McKenzie joined her with a powerful message, speaking to moms, daughters, and young girls navigating the pressures of a beauty-driven world—while reminding all of us of a truth we need to hear: you are beautiful because you were created in the image of a beautiful God.   The world is going to tell you who you need to be and what you need to look like. But the world got beauty wrong.   You are beautiful because… You are God's workmanship–created in Christ Jesus for good works. You lack nothing according to the riches of His glory. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession. You are clothed with strength and dignity. You are an overwhelming conqueror through Him who loves you. You have a spirit of power and love and discipline not timidity. You are able to discern God's will. You are more valuable than the sparrows. You are searched and known. You are transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory. You've been planted by the Lord for the display of His splendor. You are alive in Christ and saved by His grace. You are delighted in and sung over by your God.   You are Adopted, Established, Chosen, Invited, Beloved, Forgiven, Treasured, Redeemed. You are beautiful because You were created in the image of a beautiful God. May this be the voice we hear louder than the world—and the one we pass on to our daughters.

What does it look like to actually live like you belong to God? In Deuteronomy 7, Moses calls Israel to enter the Promised Land and destroy everything that would pull their hearts away from God. Pastor Joel Hastings digs into one of the Bible's harder passages — and unpacks why it's actually some of the best news you'll hear. Joel walks through the call to radical holiness, the danger of modern-day idols, and the stunning reason God chose Israel in the first place: not because they were strong, impressive, or deserving — but simply because he loved them. That same unconditional love is the foundation for everything God asks of us. Here's a couple key takeaways God's love for you is not based on your performance — you can't earn it, and you can't lose it. His love is rooted entirely in who he is. Anything that competes with God in your heart is an idol — and if you don't tear it down, it will tear down your life. Because you are God's treasured possession, you are called to be different — to live set apart in a way that reflects whose you are.

What happens to our character when being dishonest becomes easier and more rewarding than ever before? Wake Forest University philosophy professor Dr. Christian Miller joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the "honesty crisis" and how modern technology reshapes our most fundamental virtue. Dr. Miller explores the findings of The Honesty Project and his book The Honesty Crisis: Preserving Our Most Treasured Virtue in an Increasingly Dishonest World. They examine the psychological and philosophical boundaries of honesty to reveal how motivation is just as important as truth-telling. In this conversation they explore: Why honesty requires more than just accurate behavior and must include selfless or dutiful motivations. The flaws of a "mixed bag" character where people act honestly in some settings but reliably cheat in others. How the rise of AI and the internet created a "double-fold" crisis by increasing the incentives to lie while making it easier to avoid detection.The specific moral dangers of sermon plagiarism and why using AI to generate religious messages compromises the integrity of the speaker.Why celebrity culture creates a negative feedback loop that encourages protecting a public image through deception. Practical strategies for maintaining honesty through community accountability and frequent moral reminders. This is a conversation for anyone interested in psychology and ethics who wants to understand the hidden forces eroding our integrity and how to build a more honest life. Make sure to check out Dr. Miller's book: The Honesty Crisis: Preserving Our Most Treasured Virtue in an Increasingly Dishonest World

This sermon reminds us that God's love is not based on our strength, worthiness, or accomplishments, but on His faithfulness, grace, and covenant love. You'll be encouraged to see that the same God who delivered and redeemed His people still calls His people to live differently today. If you've ever struggled to understand why God would love you, this message is a strong reminder: you are treasured by God, and that truth should change how you live.

Laugh, cry, and reflect with us as Deborah Roberts shares why, in a divided world, the bonds between sisters — and the women who become like sisters — may matter more than ever. She has reported from war zones, interviewed world leaders, and earned Peabody and Emmy Awards for her journalism — but ABC News 20/20 co-anchor Deborah Roberts says her most personal story yet begins at home. This week, Deborah joins us to talk about her new book, Sisters Loved and Treasured: Stories of Unbreakable Bonds, a warmhearted celebration of one of life's most enduring relationships. In Sisters Loved and Treasured, Deborah curates a collection of conversations, meditations, and anecdotes from her own sisters, celebrity friends, and everyday people alike, who share deeply personal accounts of how their relationships as sisters shaped their lives. She writes candidly about feeling lost in a big family, the joy and strain of sibling relationships, and the heartbreak of losing two sisters. The book features more than 50 personal stories from Viola Davis, Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush, Arianna Huffington, Octavia Spencer, and many more. But sisterhood, Deborah reminds us, isn't only defined by blood. The book also explores how sisterhood transcends biological lines — and how the bonds between women friends can be just as powerful and sustaining.

We conclude our Signature Episode in segments with the why of prayer and the difficulty of the truth: "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Our growth and consistent prayer move our prayers from a task or discipline to the sweetest part of our day. The Apostle Paul will be our last example.With the insight of a life lived for the spread of the gospel, Paul describes earthly life in this way:Life is full of afflictions, crushed, perplexed, persecuted, struck down, and frustrated. Other inescapable burdens areimmorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like that. How then can the man who accurately details the sorrows and burdens of all God's redeemed also say:Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 andRejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Philippians 4:4.Our So What?"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."Philippians 4:6-7The art of prayer leads to overcoming all that discourages us in His presence and power. Treasured ones of God, cultivate your prayer life to His glory and your soul's satisfaction, even in this fallen world.AmenBrethren, let us pray for one another to overcome the weakness of the flesh through prayer.

What if you could create inner greatness by designing your personal imprint of invincibility? On this week's episode of Love University, we learn how inner power begins by implementing your Invincibility Blueprint—your inner guide to excellence. At its core, this mental roadmap strengthens your capacity to act from self-love and higher intention rather than impulse or fear. Here are three foundational components of your Invincibility Blueprint:   Do One Right Act and Build Momentum Inner strength begins with a single intentional decision. It may be as simple as starting a task you've postponed, initiating a difficult conversation, or committing to one disciplined improvement in your health, finances, or relationships. That first right act carries disproportionate power because it alters your internal narrative. You move from thinking about change to enacting it, from hesitation to alignment. Over time, these small, consistent actions accumulate and your confidence grows naturally. Each right act reinforces self-trust and self-affirmation. Your momentum builds quickly and your Invincible Blueprint takes form as you choose growth over comfort and authenticity over avoidance.   Become a Mental Pathmaker Through Repetition Every repeated action deepens a neural pathway. The behaviors you practice most frequently become the easiest to access. When you repeatedly choose constructive routines, you gradually replace old patterns with new ones that better serve your long-term goals and higher nature. With continued repetition, what once required conscious force begins to operate with greater ease. Ultimately, your Invincibility imprint becomes part of how you operate rather than something you're striving to become. You begin acting from your true self without strain. Expand Beyond Contraction When your energy contracts, your positive perception narrows. Regret fixes attention on the past, anger distorts judgment, and self-doubt limits initiative. In that contracted state, your field of possibility shrinks and your forward motion slows. Expansion requires a deliberate reinterpretation of difficulty. You see challenges as instruction and setbacks as learning experiences. You begin asking what this moment is shaping within you rather than what it is taking from you. As your soul grows, your creativity resurfaces and your willpower is strengthened. In time, your self-love deepens and your inner power grows. Now your Blueprint for sustained excellence is ready, and your mind and spirit are ready to soar.   Welcome to Invincible You. Create your Invincibility Blueprint and live your dreams.  Also, make sure you pick up a copy of Invincible You on Amazon at https://tinyurl.com/3y3szh27.

We have seen the example of Jeremiah and how his prayer life saw him through the sorrow of God's wrath. Now, we turn to Job and see how his prayer life made him famous for his enduring faith. "Behold, we count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful."James 5:11Job was a successful man; he was a wonderful father, but overall, he was a pious man. This is evidenced by his reaction to losing everything."And it came about, when the days of feasting had completed their cycle, that Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, 'Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did continually."Job 1:5"Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped. 21 And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked I shall return there. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD." 22 Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God."Job 1:20-22"Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!" 10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?" "In all this Job did not sin with his lips."Job 2:9-10After being overwhelmed by the tedious attacks on his integrity, Job declared he would strut in like a prince to God Almighty and demand an answer; he was about to face his Almighty Creator. Our So what?Job's prayer life gave him endurance and comfort beyond our apprehension. Treasured ones of God, pray, pray, pray through all God's work in your life; therein is the abundant life promised, knowing Him.Next time, we will learn the one lesson Job needed to learn to bring his life to an abundance of joy.Brethren, let's pray for one another."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

The journey demands dedication, perseverance, and grit—and crossing the finish line is a moment to be cherished. MarathonFoto, under the leadership of its president Brad Kroll, has mastered the art of capturing these transformational moments and turning them into lifelong treasures.Brad, who joined MarathonFoto in 1998, fell in love with the endurance sports industry, which includes both running and cycling. His passion for the work is rooted in the unique ability of endurance events to inspire anyone willing to put in the effort. “Every runner has a story,” Brad said during today's episode. “And these photos sort of bookend that story. It kind of covers the whole story for them and highlights what they've accomplished.”What sets MarathonFoto apart is its commitment to enhancing the experience for both runners and race organizers. The company captures thousands of images of participants across events in North America and Europe, offering athletes a chance to relive their monumental achievements. Brad explained, “We go and we capture these images of athletes… and we're able to really enhance their whole experience and help them celebrate what they accomplished.”Beyond just photographs, MarathonFoto plays a pivotal role in supporting the broader running community. Brad shared that 30–35% of the company's revenue is returned to race organizations, many of which are nonprofits. This revenue-sharing model not only funds future events but strengthens the community by providing resources for race organizers to improve their offerings.In addition to its financial contributions, MarathonFoto supports industry organizations like Running USA and the Road Race Club of America, which educate race leaders and promote best practices. By doing so, the company ensures that its impact extends far beyond the finish line.MarathonFoto's rapid image delivery system, which provides runners with enhanced, shareable photos within minutes of finishing a race, exemplifies its commitment to customer experience. “Runners want that instant gratification of seeing their photo almost immediately after crossing the finish line,” Brad said. These images, enhanced for vibrant colors and optimal skin tones, allow runners to celebrate and share their triumphs with their communities.Brad's leadership at MarathonFoto demonstrates the company's dedication to uplifting the running community, celebrating personal achievements, and fostering inspiration for future generations of athletes.tl;dr:MarathonFoto captures life-changing moments at endurance events, enhancing runners' experiences with professional photos.The company supports nonprofits by sharing 30–35% of its revenue with race organizations.MarathonFoto's rapid image delivery system gives runners instant access to their finish-line photos.Brad Kroll's strategic empathy drives innovation, ensuring athletes, organizers, and sponsors benefit.Brad encourages active listening and adaptability to build meaningful connections and deliver impactful solutions.How to Develop Strategic Empathy As a SuperpowerBrad describes his superpower as “strategic empathy,” which he defines as listening deeply to understand the needs of athletes, race organizers, and sponsors. This skill enables him to align MarathonFoto's operations with the desires of all stakeholders. “If the athletes are happy, then the race is happy. And if the race is happy, the sponsors are happy,” Brad explained. By internalizing feedback and adapting the business to meet those needs, he ensures MarathonFoto delivers value that benefits everyone involved.Brad highlighted the development of MarathonFoto's rapid image delivery system as a prime example of his strategic empathy. Runners expressed a desire to share their race finishes with friends and family immediately after completing a marathon. Listening to this feedback, Brad and his team developed a system to provide runners with enhanced finish-line photos within minutes of crossing the finish line. This innovation not only delighted participants but also strengthened relationships with race organizers and sponsors.Tips for Developing Strategic Empathy:Practice active listening by focusing on understanding others' perspectives and needs.Ask clarifying questions to ensure you've captured the essence of what someone is saying.Reflect on feedback and adapt your approach to meet others' expectations.Collaborate with your team to brainstorm and implement solutions that align with stakeholder needs.Continuously evaluate how your actions impact all parties involved.By following Brad's example and advice, you can make strategic empathy a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today's character creation lesson begins with basic geometry, escalates into psychic powers, and somehow ends with a pacifist circus bear being seriously considered as a build option. In this episode, we take the gloves off and actually make characters for Pulp Cthulhu—choosing archetypes, rolling stats, hoarding skill points like goblins, and discovering that if you roll too well, you might accidentally invent the world's first telepathic himbo artist. If you've ever wondered how Call of Cthulhu character creation becomes fast, fun, and dangerously powerful, this is where the pulp really starts to flow. The D8 goes in the D8 hole. Show Notes This episode walks step-by-step through Pulp Cthulhu character creation, showing how investigators are built to be tougher, broader, and far more cinematic than their classic Call of Cthulhu counterparts. Ash guides Tyler and Randall through the full process—then breaks it down into a Quick & Dirty method that can get players to the table in minutes. Step 1: Choose an Archetype Archetypes replace traditional "classes" and are rooted in classic pulp fiction roles: Mystic (psychic powers, occult insight, vibes) Egghead (engineers, scientists, gadgeteers) Two-Fisted, Swashbuckler, Femme Fatale, Bon Vivant, and more Each archetype: Defines a core characteristic Grants bonus archetype skills Suggests traits, occupations, and story hooks This approach encourages concept-first design, letting the character idea drive the mechanics instead of the other way around. Step 2: Generate Characteristics Attributes are rolled using the familiar D100 roll-under system, but with a key twist: Core characteristic = 1d6 + 13 × 5 (expect very high numbers) Other stats use 3d6×5 or 2d6+6×5 High pulp means exceptional competence The result? Characters who feel powerful immediately—sometimes too powerful, leading to delightful accidents like rolling: Incredible Power Solid looks Questionable intelligence (Yes, the "himbo build" is real.) Step 3: Talents (High Pulp Edition) Because this game is running High Pulp, characters receive four talents instead of two. Talents are drawn from four categories: Physical Mental Combat Miscellaneous Highlights from the episode include: Psychic Powers Arcane Insight Weird Science Animal Companion (responsibly downgraded from "bear" to "bear-adjacent dog") Talents dramatically define how characters play and reinforce pulp action over fragile realism. Step 4: Occupation & Skill Points Occupations grant massive skill point pools, often hundreds of points: Skills start with base percentages Occupational skills come first Archetype skills add another 100 points Personal interest skills add even more The result is wide, competent characters instead of hyper-specialized glass cannons. The episode includes practical advice: Avoid pushing every skill to 95 Aim for flexibility, not just peak numbers Remember Credit Rating is mandatory and matters in play Step 5: Backstory (Fast but Meaningful) Instead of long essays, Pulp Cthulhu uses structured prompts: Personal description (biased, first-person) Ideology and beliefs Significant people Treasured possessions Traits Random tables spark instant character hooks, like: Idolizing Nikola Tesla Carrying calipers as a grounding object Shared trauma bonds Risk-taking or unreliable personalities One key backstory element becomes your Sanity anchor, helping characters recover from mental trauma. Quick & Dirty Character Creation Ash closes the episode with a streamlined alternative: Assign preset stat values Pick talents Select skills from fixed arrays Roll backstory details Start playing immediately Perfect for one-shots, convention play, or groups eager to punch cultists now, not in two hours. Key Takeaways Pulp Cthulhu character creation is fast, flexible, and cinematic Archetypes replace classes with strong narrative identity High Pulp characters start powerful and stay relevant Talents are the heart of customization Skill points are plentiful—breadth is rewarded Structured backstory tools create instant roleplay hooks The Quick & Dirty method gets you playing in minutes Yes, you can accidentally build a psychic himbo—and that's a feature Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

In this episode of The Yoga Inspiration Podcast, Kino MacGregor sits down with hospital chaplain, writer, and grief expert J.S. Park for a deeply grounding conversation about grief, presence, and what it means to live with an open heart in a world that can feel overwhelming. They explore why grief is not something to fix or overcome, but something to honor, carry, and let transform over time. Kino reflects on communal grief in the Ashtanga world after the loss of a spiritual teacher, and J.S. offers compassionate insight into why we reach for solutions, why closure can be a myth, and how grief changes shape rather than disappearing. Together they talk about treasured objects and rituals as anchors when words fail, the ways spirituality and community can either support or collapse under real-world suffering, and how spiritual practice must include our shared humanity and collective responsibility. J.S. also shares his path from atheism toward faith through witnessing love in community, and they unpack the tension between the teachings of Jesus and the harm done in the name of religion. This episode is for anyone holding loss, navigating a crisis of faith, feeling exhausted by "move on" culture, or looking for a spiritual practice that helps you show up with tenderness and integrity. Guest: J.S. Park is a hospital chaplain, writer, and grief educator. He is the author of As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve. Topics covered • Grief as something to honor, not solve • Why "closure" is not the goal and grief changes shape • Grieving the dream, not just the person • Treasured objects and ritual as grief anchors • When words fail and the role of art, music, and practice • Faith crises and spiritual seasons • From atheism to faith through love and community • Spiritual practice, justice, and resisting dehumanization • Boundaries, self care, and what actually sustains us • Mortality as an invitation to live more tenderly, now Resources As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve by J.S. Park Practice with Kino on Omstars Continue the conversation on the mat. Omstars is Kino's online yoga platform, offering thousands of classes, workshops, and in-depth courses designed to support a sustainable, lifelong practice.

In this conversation, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with Andi Lew—TV host, wellness educator, longtime chiropractic advocate, and author of Treasured Chest and Connected. Together they unpack breast implant illness, the emotional trauma that often precedes augmentation, and the profound healing that can occur after explant. Andi shares her personal near-death journey, how she created a global movement of women "returning to their divine, organic state," and why chiropractors must consider implants when patients aren't getting better. This is a powerful, paradigm-shifting episode about body autonomy, trauma healing, and generational freedom.   Highlight: "I've created a movement of women who are returning home to their divine, organic states again, getting ready to shed and removing their breast implants."   "The spine truly is the window to your health, and when we remove this inflammatory driver, the body finally says, 'I can breathe again.'"   "Some people don't want the truth, and that has to be okay. You move on to the next door of the burning building."   "The power that makes the body heals the body.

Christmas has a way of reawakening awe, especially in children; but once the decorations come down and life returns to normal, that sense of wonder can fade. In this family service message, we're reminded that wonder was never meant to be packed away with the lights and ornaments.Through simple, visual object lessons, we explore how the wonder of Christmas begins with Light, is meant to be Treasured, changes what we Carry, grows when it's Shared, and stays alive when it's properly Fueled. Kids and adults alike are invited to rediscover a childlike attentiveness to what God is doing, not just during the Christmas season, but in everyday life.This message encourages families and individuals to move beyond celebrating Christmas as an event and instead live it as a way of life; carrying the light of Christ into homes, schools, workplaces, and relationships all year long.Because when Christmas is over, we don't pack wonder away; we carry it with us.Message 512.28.25

You know you should have a strong core but what about your pelvic floor? Those seemingly minor annoyances like using the bathroom every hour is not your age or too much water.  It is your body giving you a signal. How much urine do you think your bladder can actually hold? As women in this midlife season, we often joke about our small bladders and how often we are running to the bathroom. But my guest today says there's no such thing as a small bladder. If you have moments of leaking, pain or discomfort, you could be dealing with a very real issue called prolapse... not just another symptom of menopause.  Prolapse is common in midlife women and even so, it doesn't have to be "normal."  Lean into my conversation with my guest Jenn Lormand today for some important potty talk that will make you think differently about those constant bathroom runs and your pelvic floor as a whole. Remember, the body is brilliantly designed and it is ALL connected! I pray this blesses you today!

Luke 2:41-51 - Treasured

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I want to share a couple more stories with you from our book about the Spirit of Christmas. This is going to be the last new episode of the podcast before the holidays, so I wish you the very best for the last day of Hanukkah and the coming Christmas extravaganza. Today's stories about are about a couple of our writers' favorite traditions for Christmas Day and the day after. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart. – Luke 2:51

828 But Mary Treasured Up All These Things, Pondering Them in Her Heart, A Guided Christian Meditation on Luke 2:19-21 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation ESV 19 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. 21 And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. KJV 19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. 21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. Reflection on Scripture: Mary treasured these things, pondering them in her heart. She felt the kicks of the baby Jesus and her womb carried the Son of God. What amazing things she had to ponder in her heart. Some of it was the experience of bearing Jesus. She also saw heavenly messengers. She received messages that are written and likely had experiences that have not been recorded anywhere but in her heart. Imagine if a short book was written about your life, perhaps a few chapters. Do you think that could possibly reflect everything you thought or experienced?  Restrict it even further. Imagine writing a couple chapters about a vacation. You couldn't even capture everything from a simple human trip to a tourist spot. Imagine now an encounter with the divine. Imagine months and then years with the young Jesus. It is impossible to imagine what she pondered in her heart. What special unique blessings were meant just for her. Imagine her holding the damp child. Imagine her holding him in her arms. The feeling of responsibility resting on her of raising a child and not just any child but the very son of God.  Invariably you have had unique experiences meant just for you. Do we spend time to treasure them in our hearts and ponder them? Take the time now to think of the interactions with God that you have experienced. What ways has He touched your heart?

My father first locked eyes on my mother at a party in London. Next he gate-crashed a second party, then organized a third, just to see her again. Finally, he asked Mum out for a country drive, picking her up in his old Rover sedan—his treasured possession. Mum and dad became sweethearts, but there was a problem. Mum was about to move to Peru to become a missionary. Dad took her to the airport, then five months later arrived in Peru himself—to propose to her. And the best part of the story? He’d sold his beloved Rover to pay for the plane ticket. If you would’ve asked Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, what her most treasured possession was, she’d have shown you a precious bottle of “expensive perfume” (John 12:3). And if you’d have been at the party she and Martha threw for Jesus (v. 2) and watched her lavish that bottle’s contents on his feet, you’d have known just what Jesus meant to her. He was that precious, that valuable. For my mother, Dad selling his car wasn’t just about a plane ticket. It was a sign of how much he valued her. And Mary’s actions had deeper meaning too—she was preparing Jesus for His burial (v. 7). Like her, when we sacrifice for God what we treasure most, we take part in His redemptive work by echoing His great sacrifice for us.
