Following announcements from President Donald Trump of sweeping new tariffs, Max and Donatienne discuss the fallout from last week's “Liberation Day” with economist and international trade expert, Federico Steinberg: a Visiting Fellow with the CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program and Prince of Asturias Distinguished Visiting Professor at Georgetown University. This episode dives deeply into the impact of these tariffs and what may come next for Europe.

The heart, described as our life's control center, can be weighed down by anxiety, fear, failure, and uncertainty, but Jesus offers a path to live above our circumstances. His strategy? Go to God, go to people, and go to action. This isn't about escaping reality in a cocoon; it's about facing life head-on with faith. Like Peter, we may stumble in hard places, but Jesus meets us there. The journey to an untroubled heart begins by stepping into trouble—with courage, honesty, and trust.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

There's an old Chinese phrase that goes, "It's better to be a dog in peaceful times than a man in a time of chaos." Wishful thinking, some may call that, for it's difficult to see peaceful times at any moment in human history. Most of us with a bit of life experience hearken back to when times were easier, and end up moralizing to any who will listen that our times back then were superior. And while that may be superficially true, it's not all that helpful. And complaining doesn't make the young fold feel any better.In fact, your and old may just end up pointing fingers at each other as to who's to blame for the world as it is.We'd like to dip our feet into those tumultuous waters in this podcast to suggest that all those lamentations and blame apportioning miss the fundamental point: we've been on an inverted path for millennia. We've reached the end of the road in a literal sense.Can any sense be made of the correct way to go now?Love, Consciousness and the Troubled World, today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head.Click here to listen to this episode.

Calm in a Troubled World

Walking in the Joy of the Lord in a Troubled World • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give We live in a world filled with chaos, uncertainty, and fear. News headlines often bring discouragement, and many people are searching for peace and joy in the midst of turmoil. But as believers in Christ, we are called to walk in the joy of the Lord, a joy that transcends our circumstances. This joy is not dependent on what's happening around us, but on the unchanging character of God and our relationship with Jesus. Today, we will explore ten scriptures from the New King James Version (NKJV) that teach us how to walk in the joy of the Lord, even when everything seems to be falling apart around us. Nehemiah 8:10 "Then he said to them, 'Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.'"   John 15:11  "These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full." Romans 15:13  "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Philippians 4:4   "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" James 1:2-3  "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience."   1 Peter 1:8  "Whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory."   Psalm 16:11   "You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Galatians 5:22   *"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness."* Habakkuk 3:17-18   "Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls—yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation."   Psalm 118:24  "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."   As believers, we are called to be set apart in the way we live—and one of the clearest marks of our faith is the joy we carry in Christ. This joy is not dependent on our circumstances or the condition of the world around us. Instead, it flows from our relationship with Jesus, the work of the Holy Spirit, and our trust in the promises of God.  We can walk in true joy and victory in Jesus, even when the world seems crazy. Let us fix our eyes on Him, abide in His presence, and choose joy daily, knowing that He is our strength, our salvation, and our hope. Today, let's commit to walking in the joy of the Lord. No matter what the world throws at us, we can choose to rejoice in the God of our salvation. Let us rely on the Holy Spirit to produce His joy in us, and may our lives be a testimony of God's goodness and peace in a troubled world.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE IN A TROUBLED WORLD - Homily July 14, 2024 by Fr Jim Chern

In the words of Terence McKenna, since the rise of western monotheism the human experience has been marginalized. We have been told that we were unimportant in the cosmic drama when one considers the power of creation of the one God. But we now know as the global temperatures rise and glaciers melt from the burning of fossil fuels and the feedback mechanisms associated with the greenhouse effect: the impact of human culture on the Earth is massive. So how do we reverse the course of destruction created out of the human imagination? Some have postulated plant medicines learned from Indigenous societies of the Americas have a way to reintegrate humans into the processes of the Earth to heal the sickness and warming all around. In this show, we explore human symbiotic relationships with plants and chemicals in the sacred peyote medicine used by the Native American Church in the US and in societies in the mountains of Mexico. We look at the work of several ethnobotanists who also studied the plants and the rites associated with ayahuasca or yage in South America. Richard Evans Schultes and Terence McKenna researched the ancient human relationship with chemicals that would open the doorway to the divine, and perhaps a solution for saving our troubled world. This show aims to explore the powerful potential to replace abuse of illegal drugs with a shamanic understanding, insistence on community, reverence for nature, and increased self-awareness that can re-orient people to heal the fractured relationships with our communities and ecosystems.

Welcome to season 23! This season we are using the framework of the enneagram, and in particular the ways the 3 instinctual subtypes impact each enneagram number, to help people do the necessary inner work of knowing themselves and managing anxiety, triggers, and stuck patterns so that they can lead others well. This season, we are moving beyond the basics of describing each number type to look at our instincts and what motivates our behaviors. Special guest, Erin Baute, a leadership behavior strategist with over 20 years of experience in behavior change and professional development, joins us all season long to help us do this important work.   Today, Ruth kicks off the season with a solo episode. She gives an introduction to the season ahead, an overview of how she uses the enneagram as a tool, in conjunction with the Holy Spirit, for self-examination and confession, and some guidance for interacting with the enneagram well. We conclude this episode with the Welcoming Prayer, a prayer Ruth often uses as a way to pray into the new things we discover about ourselves as we work with the enneagram.   Mentioned in the episode: Erin Baute, our guest this season. Find more info at her website or follow her on instagram!   Helpful Enneagram Resources: We are diving straight into the deep end of the enneagram this season. If you need some introductory resources to the Enneagram we highly recommend the following: Self to Lose, Self to Find by Marilyn Vancil The Road Back To You by Suzanne Stabile and Ian Cron The Story of You by Ian Cron The Enneagram for Black Liberation by Chichi Agorom The Enneagram A Christian Perspective by Richard Rohr   Interested in our live virtual event: SPIRITUAL DIRECTION: An Essential Practice for Transforming Leaders?
