Podcasts about trusting

n this episode of the Meech Speaks Podcast, Demetrius “Meech” Thigpen sits down with Albert Ramos of the A2B Podcast and entrepreneur Christopher Woods for a raw conversation about growth, discomfort, and the hard decisions that shape your life.Too many people talk about growth like it's motivational quotes and highlight reels. The truth? Growth is uncomfortable. Growth is painful. And sometimes growth starts when everything in your life falls apart.The conversation dives deep into:• Why growth always requires discomfort• The fear many service members face when transitioning out of the military• Imposter syndrome and learning to trust yourself• Why veterans undervalue their leadership and experience in the civilian world• The difference between surviving and truly thriving• How whispers of change in your life eventually become impossible to ignoreFrom Marine Corps leadership lessons to entrepreneurship, family, faith, and finding purpose after service, this episode is a powerful reminder that the hardest choices often lead to the greatest growth.If you're a service member, veteran, entrepreneur, or someone standing at a crossroads in life, this conversation will challenge you to take ownership of your path and trust the process.Because sometimes the biggest obstacle standing in your way… is you.

A meaningful conversation on growth, purpose, and personal responsibility as Bailey Soza and Dr. Michelle Robin reflect on how small, intentional changes create lasting well-being. Through personal stories and shared lessons, they explore trusting your journey, listening to your intuition, and navigating different seasons of life with greater awareness. The discussion highlights the power of taking ownership of your health, honoring your time and energy, and embracing progress over perfection—reminding listeners that transformation happens by simply taking the next right step.  Key Takeaways:   True well-being begins when you take responsibility for your health, choices, and personal growth.  Small, consistent changes create sustainable transformation over time.  Listening to your intuition helps guide decisions before discomfort becomes burnout.  Growth happens in seasons, and each phase of life asks something different from us.  Living authentically and being present matters more than striving for perfection or control.  Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – It seems just about every time we expect the government to take care of things for us, it turns into an abject failure. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 10,000 times, and I'm probably an American voter. Ronald Reagan famously said that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are “I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”

What Is Your Rock? The Danger of Trusting Wealth Instead of God What is your rock? In a world where investments, real estate, and retirement accounts are rising faster than ever, it's easy for our hearts to slowly shift from trusting God to trusting our wealth. In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob explores the powerful warning from Psalm 62:10: "Though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them." Financial growth isn't the problem. The real danger is when our hearts begin to rest in money instead of God. King David understood this tension well. Though he was incredibly wealthy, his peace and security didn't come from his kingdom, armies, or possessions. His confidence came from God alone. David declared: "Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." (Psalm 62) In today's world of market surges, investment growth, and financial success, this message is more relevant than ever. As wealth increases, faith can sometimes decrease. In this episode, Rob challenges us to examine a critical question: Where is your heart really anchored? Is your confidence in the market—or in the Master? In This Episode You'll Learn • Why wealth can quietly pull our hearts away from God • The difference between using money and trusting money • Why the Bible warns about the deceitfulness of wealth • How King David modeled generosity even in great success • Why retirement should never become spiritual retirement • How to use your blessings to build something that lasts eternally A Powerful Question to Ask Yourself What or who is your rock right now? Are you trusting in markets or in your Maker? God never intended wealth to be the foundation of your life. It's meant to be a tool for eternal impact.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a painful and confusing tension many first responders carry: losing trust (Amazon Affiliate) in leadership while still deeply believing in the mission, the work, and the people they serve. This isn't about being bitter or insubordinate. It's about the internal conflict that forms when decisions feel disconnected, values feel compromised, and loyalty becomes complicated. You still care about the job—but the system around it no longer feels safe, fair, or aligned.

This week, I talk with Jenny Wood, who spent 18 years at Google, rising through the ranks and building global programs used by tens of thousands of employees. From the outside, Jenny had the kind of career many people aspire to—prestige, influence, and steady advancement inside one of the world's most admired companies. But over time, she began to realize that the very habits that fueled her success—relentless drive, constant striving, and an obsession with achievement—were also taking a personal toll. In this conversation, we talk about ambition and when it becomes a trap, the pressure to keep chasing the next milestone, and the challenge of celebrating wins along the way. We also explore money, identity, imposter syndrome, motherhood, and the fear that comes with walking away from something impressive to build a life that feels more aligned with who you truly want to become. Let's get to it!

Type of loss: Stillbirth, Delayed twin interval birthMore about Kara's Story: In this episode, Kara Catalano shares her journey through infertility, enduring seven unsuccessful rounds of IVF after being told she had less than a 1% chance of conceiving with her own eggs. On the eighth round, she finally received the news she had been praying for — she was pregnant with twins.But at her first ultrasound, the joy quickly turned to fear when she was told she should terminate one of the babies within 24–48 hours due to concerns about fluid levels. Kara opens up about the complex pregnancy that followed, including multiple losses and the experience of delayed twin interval birth, as she honors the love she has for each of her babies.Trusting her instincts, Kara chose to wait.A week later, a new doctor confirmed that both babies were doing well and there was no longer any need to consider termination. For a moment, hope returned. But at 17 weeks and 5 days, Kara went into spontaneous labor and delivered her daughter stillborn. In the midst of that devastating loss, something extraordinary happened — her son remained safely in the womb.What followed was a rare and complex medical situation known as a delayed twin interval birth. Kara carried her son for another 12 weeks before delivering him prematurely.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!How do you know when an inner prompting is truly guidance — and when it is illusion? In this intimate dialogue, Jerry L. Martin and Abigail L. Rosenthal explore the challenge of spiritual discernment: learning to trust your spiritual senses without abandoning realism, reason, or common sense. What does it mean to follow an inner call responsibly? How do you test intuition against experience, wisdom, and the counsel of others?Drawing from lived experience — including Jerry's hearing of the “God voice,” their shared leap into marriage, and Abigail's reflections in A Good Look at Evil and Confessions of a Young Philosopher — they consider how faith and practical wisdom must work together. Faith is not unrealism. It is not a shortcut. Nor is it blind emotion. Instead, it is a disciplined attentiveness to the deeper currents of your life, guided by both sincerity and discernment.The conversation widens into a larger question: What story are you living? And what is your ideal story? Abigail reflects on the idea that God is not a distant abstraction but a Player — with a capital P — in the unfolding drama of your life. To live spiritually is not to withdraw from reality but to engage it more fully, with courage, humility, and intellectual honesty.If you have ever wondered how to distinguish true guidance from impulse, how to balance faith and reason, or how to bring your actual life closer to your ideal life, this episode offers a thoughtful and grounded exploration of divine guidance, inner calling, and life as a story.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare: questions@godanautobiography.comGet the books: God: An Autobiography, Radically Personal, Confessions of a Young Philosopher, A Good Look at EvilShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

Trusting the process of packaging our lives.

This week we talk weddings, conferences, and busy weekends. Our main topic is the sermon our guest speaker, Brad Wheeler, preached this Sunday. The main idea is, "Trusting in God's promises transforms death to life."

Welcome to Our Ram Dass Series: The visionary musician and guide East Forest reveals the profound intersection of sound, psychedelic ceremony, and our modern spiritual emergency—and why music is the essential "technology" for navigating the depths of consciousness and inner transformation.East Forest explores the "architecture" of the inner journey, explaining how intentional soundscapes can amplify healing and bridge the gap between our daily lives and the sacred. He discusses his deep collaboration with Ram Dass, the role of plant medicine in modern healing, and why the "real work" of shifting our world begins in the privacy of the human heart. He reminds us that in a time of "information sickness," reclaiming our own consciousness is the most revolutionary act we can perform.If this conversation resonates, you don't have to navigate these shifts in consciousness alone. The process of inner integration and finding your unique path through this spiritual emergency affects EACH PERSON DIFFERENTLY.

In this episode, we listen to words of passion, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 198, penned by Paranar. The verse is situated amidst the soaring peaks of the ‘Kurinji’ or ‘Mountain landscape’ and echoes the beating heart of man in love. கூறுவம்கொல்லோ? கூறலம்கொல்?’ எனக்கரந்த காமம் கைந்நிறுக்கல்லாது,நயந்து நாம் விட்ட நல் மொழி நம்பி,அரை நாள் யாமத்து விழு மழை கரந்துகார் விரை கமழும் கூந்தல், தூ வினைநுண் நூல் ஆகம் பொருந்தினள், வெற்பின்இள மழை சூழ்ந்த மட மயில் போல,வண்டு வழிப் படர, தண் மலர் வேய்ந்து,வில் வகுப்புற்ற நல் வாங்கு குடைச் சூல்அம் சிலம்பு ஒடுக்கி அஞ்சினள் வந்து,துஞ்சு ஊர் யாமத்து முயங்கினள், பெயர்வோள்,ஆன்ற கற்பின் சான்ற பெரியள்,அம் மா அரிவையோ அல்லள்; தெனாஅதுஆஅய் நல் நாட்டு அணங்குடைச் சிலம்பில்,கவிரம் பெயரிய உரு கெழு கவாஅன்,ஏர் மலர் நிறை சுனை உறையும்சூர்மகள்மாதோ என்னும் என் நெஞ்சே! This trip to the highlands is all about reverence, and we get to hear the man say these words, after a tryst by night with his lady: “The hidden love within me, about which I was deliberating, ‘Should I tell? Should I not?' failed to heed my shackles, and so, I sent good words to her with much desire. Trusting in these words, in the midnight hour, waiting for the pouring rain to cease, having tresses fragrant with the scent of rain, wearing an intricate attire made of fine threads that enveloped her, akin to a naive peacock descending down from a cloud-covered mountain, clad in moist, well-woven flowers, which were swarming with bees, adorned with exquisite anklets with hollow tubes, curving akin to a bow, taking care to silence the sound of the said anklets, with fear she came walking, and when the town entire was sleeping in that hour, she embraced me and parted away. That great woman, who shines with her deep chastity, is not just a beautiful, dark-skinned young maiden; In the southern lands, in the fearsome mountain slopes, in the fine country of ‘Aay', called as ‘Kaviram', there are formidable mountain ranges, filled with picturesque flowers and brimming springs. My heart says she is surely a heavenly maiden from thither!” Let’s go on that midnight trek in the mountains and learn more! The man starts by reminiscing about the past when he was hesitating about expressing his love for the lady. Beyond all bounds of logic, his love seemed to brim over and he had sent word about the promise of his affections to the lady, and she too had come there to him, in the middle of the night, at a time when there was a break in the rains, with her moist, flower-decked hair, wearing a dainty attire, and taking care to still the sound of her exquisite anklets, embraced him and left from there, the man describes. Now the man reflects on this noble and chaste maiden and concludes by saying that his heart was convinced that she was no ordinary maiden but surely a goddess, the one who is said to reside in the ‘Kaviram’ mountain ranges in Chieftain Aay’s domain! That feeling of awe and admiration, inevitable elements in the first stages of love, seems to resonate in this mountain song from long ago. So many songs and poems over the ages have echoed this very bewilderment about a beloved – Am I dreaming? Is this life real? Is the other person merely human or could they be an angel in disguise? – A sentiment oft-heard from those in the throes of love, no matter the place or time!

Saved From Judgments (1) (audio) David Eells – 3/11/26 I'm going to share some older prophecies with you about the judgments God is sending on the rebellious apostates. We often receive scriptures in our morning prayer meetings of these warnings.   Judgments on America and Its Ministries Shirley Hinkle - 11/07/2007 (David's notes in red) Thank you for your website. It has been a wealth of insight and revelation into the Word of God for me and my friends with whom I share your site. I have never shared these or other dreams that I have had in the past with any website/ministry, but only with five close friends. One of the prayer warriors in our church, whom I shared the dreams with this last week, said, “You must send it to Brother David Eells. You see, I was in prayer Sunday morning and God spoke to my heart and said, “Remember the dreams of the five judgments? IT'S NOW! It's not only the false, sinful church leadership that is under judgment, but judgment on this nation, America, that you are seeing fulfilled.” (In the dreams below God used individuals to represent this apostate leadership. These judgments on them will also judge America. This is judgment is on the secular and religious harlot. Update 3/11/26 - God is now raising up new leadership with power.) Because of the nature of the dreams, I took out the name of the pastor and the people associated with the church where we went for five years. (Shirley is typed as a prophetess and the true church in some of these dreams.) Dream - First of 5 Judgments - 07/03/2005 I dreamed that our former pastor walked into the room where a group of us were standing. I wondered to myself, what is he doing here? I thought, maybe we are to pray for him, so I walked over to him and laid my hand on his head. I said to him, “You are full of lust and pornography”. (I once saw the statistics of how many ministers were into this, and I was shocked.) As I said these words, his head turned to mush under my hand (a mind corrupted by sin). I pulled my hand back, revolted, and turned to walk away, and as I did, he leered and sneered at me. I started to wake up and that is when I saw he was a shell of a man full of demonic spirits. (This represents a generation of apostates, meaning back-slidden, ministers as in the rest of the dreams.) God spoke into my heart and said, “Romans chapters 1 & 3. As he stole from My people, I am taking his mind from him; He is given over to those spirits. (Update 3/11/26 – This has been happening) This is the first of 5 judgments I have shown you”. Dream - Judgment # 2 of 5 - 07/11/2005 All of these people were in booths at a restaurant (Churches where spiritual food, as in the Word, is supposed to be fed). I walked in and it was the congregation of a former church. I began to go from table to table under the anointing and exposing all of the lies of the teachings and sins in the lives of the people. Some people looked at me like, “What are you doing?” They had no comprehension at all. Others said, “Yes, we see it,” and then others were getting very mad, angry at me for telling and exposing all the lies. I looked behind me, and there were 3 of the prayer warriors who had left the church at the same time, as one person, and they were represented as who they are in real life. I raised my right arm to heaven and began to pray in the spirit with a loud voice and with authority. Then, as I was walking out, I turned to the people and said, “The associate pastor was never supposed to leave his wife for the other woman. He played the harlot. He sold his body to prostitution. HE LEFT HER!” (Another common problem among apostate pastors.) Then the next scene in my dream, my husband and I are walking down a hallway away from the restaurant (I.e. away from their teachings). We could hear the former pastor from the other side yelling. We knew he was mad at me for exposing him. He was yelling really loud as he came around the corner, but the weird thing was, he was walking on his knees. His legs were twisted up behind him, and he was being led by his head usher. (I.e. Spiritually crippled and unable to walk with the Lord.) For a split second, I felt pity for this man who was all disfigured, and then I saw his face as he was yelling. My husband and I just stood there quietly watching at first. This pastor was so mad and yelling so loudly. His hair was all matted and snarled, with his face all contorted. Then all of a sudden I looked at him and said, “Everything you have stolen from My people (which is their walk with the Lord), I have taken from you. Judgment has come to your house”. I then brought my right hand down like a gavel was in it. This pastor was nothing but blackness and darkness. This was judgment # 2 of 5 that God had shown me. Dream - Judgment 3 & 4 of 5 - 08/08/2005 I dreamed last night of a lady (the true church) in a church with a lot of people she knew. Some of them walked up to her and asked if she would like to go on a road trip with them; she said yes and got in the car. As the others were getting in, they were snickering and laughing behind her back (mocking her). When they got down the road, they took out a needle and injected it into the woman (filled her with false doctrine) to alter her mind. They took her to a house (apostate church) and it was full of children (of God). The woman was then tormented in many ways. She kept trying to hide the children in different parts of the house so that they would not be harmed. (Trying to save them from the false doctrine) She knew that the ultimate goal of these people was to kill her and the children (spiritually) after they had their fun and sport with her. A man walked into the house. The woman went up to him and said, “We have to save the children. These people are going to kill us”. He just started laughing at her. It was then that she knew he was one of them. She then hid the children in different parts of the house again. Now, instead of me seeing this lady, I am her (the true church), and I am walking down a hallway. I come to an elderly woman (the apostate church showing signs of years under the curse) and I say to her with a loud voice, “The Lord says unto you, you are now forever separated from the presence of God; you will no longer experience the presence of God”. My right hand came down like a gavel, and I said, “This is the Judgment of God on you”. (Update 3/11/26 – These churches are dead now)  She turned from me and walked away; then turned to come back, and I saw it was the pastor's sister-in-law. She was like a mad woman, all crazy. I turned and walked away from her, and as I did, I said, “Lord, what was that all about?” He spoke to me and said, “That is the Church that holds the Truth in unrighteousness (truth they refuse to walk in) and turns my grace into lasciviousness (which is a license to sin).” As I am walking away, I come to a young lady who is not one of the children because they are hidden in different parts of the house. I say to her, “The Lord says unto you, I will never again look upon you with favor or content. You will toil and labor hard all the rest of your days (the curse in Gen.3:19). This is the judgment unto you”. My right hand then came down like a gavel. As the girl turned to walk away from me, I saw it was a teenager in the congregation, the daughter of the church secretary. As I was waking up from this dream, the Lord spoke into my heart, “This is the judgment #3 & 4 of the 5 that I showed you”. I asked the Lord, “What did the teenager represent?” and He quickly answered, “Rebellion; the rebellious ones”. The lady in the beginning is the true church, and the enemy is trying to steal the mind of God's people, by altering their thinking and doping them with falsehoods. (that please the flesh) They are laughing and mocking the True Church of the Living God. The children represent the innocent that God has hidden under his wings, till the storm passes by. (God has hidden some innocents in the apostate church, which He will deliver. Isa 26:20  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. ) Dream - Judgment # 5 of 5 - 09/30/2005 I dreamt last night that we were at our former church. They were having a camp meeting. I was volunteering in the kitchen (where the spiritual food of teaching is prepared), and the pastor's wife (representing the apostate church) walked up to me and said that someone was very mad at me for being here. She said, “You are not supposed to be here”. I said that all I was trying to do was to help. She never said to stay or even tried to defend me. As I was sitting there, a woman walked up to the pastor's wife (the apostate church) and said to her... “It's beginning to rain, You are a flower that will die, Where your petals fall, There they will lie”. (great falling away) My friends who were standing with me started weeping, went over and hugged her goodbye; I stayed, watching and weeping. I tried to warn, to explain, but there was nothing to say. The pastor's wife looked at me with sadness and a knowing. I said to her, “All I know is that I love God with all of my heart, and I know you do too”. She then began to weep. (The church who loves God in their born-again spirit but does not love Him enough to obey so that their soul is born again will die. Rom.8:13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Joh.14:15 If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments. 1Pe.1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: 23 having been begotten [born] again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. 24 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth: 25 But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. As was said in the prophetic poem, the flower, a symbol of all that is beautiful about the flesh, will fall. What people think is beautiful about their fleshly religion will die.) As we were leaving and driving away from the Church, it began to rain, on both sides of the road, the flowers were dead and the animals too. I looked at my husband and started weeping so hard (The grace of life will be taken away from the apostate church in their idolatry with the flesh.). He said to me, “My brother (representing the apostate church) is dying, so it must still be before February”. I said, “I know”. (My husband's brother had died the year before, in February from bladder cancer.) This is Judgment #5. The first 5 judgment dreams on apostate ministries are coming to pass now. As the Lord said, “IT'S NOW!” This was said in 2005. The apostate ministries are losing their minds and walking as cripples more every day because this is what they have done to God's people. Since history or “His-story” always repeats, very soon this will be spoken of them as it was of their forefathers: Mat.13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them. (As in Jesus' day, these same ones will persecute the true church of the “called out ones”.) Here are a few more dreams Shirley sent us: Dream - 10/20/2007 - Baby Boy - First Tribulation Judgment I walked into a church filled with people. I recognized people from our former church, all standing around talking and carrying on with their programs. As I walked down the hall, I saw a small baby boy in the trash. I picked him up and said, “You don't belong here in the trash”. (This shows the apostate church's disregard for the fruit of Christ revealed in the man-child body in their midst. It also represents their hatred for the first-fruits Man-child ministry [Rev.12:5,6] that is to lead this church into that fruit, just as their forefathers did in Jesus' day.) As I was taking him out of the trash, the pastor's wife was there and was so mad at me. She said to me, “You think you are going to get away with this? You are going to pay!” (They hate those who value the fruit of Christ just as they did in the Book of Acts. Those who come out from among them will take the fruit of Christ with them.) I took him outside the church and walked over to my husband to show him the baby. The baby was playing and cooing in my arms. I was so upset that he had been thrown away like that, discarded in the trash. As I was playing with the baby and taking care of him and loving on him, my husband said, “You have to take him back”. I said it wasn't right that they put him in the trash, but my husband said, “He has to go back”. (Those who love the fruit will see Him in their lives. Like the Shulamite bride in Song of Solomon, they will take Him back to their mother church.) SoS.3:3 The watchmen that go about the city found me; [To whom I said], Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? 4 It was but a little that I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother's house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me. As I was walking back to the church, I had to cross a street; the cars were flying past me on both sides. I was in the middle of the intersection and was almost getting run over by each car that passed (those on the broad road will not appreciate the greatness in their midst). I held the baby close and kept trying to get across. As I walked back into the church to take the baby back, I was so sad. Nobody saw me or acknowledged that the baby had been returned and saved from the trash. They continued with their programs they were all doing. (The return of the man-child or His fruit in the bride's heart will not be appreciated by most when He returns to give a witness to them as Jesus did. This will be the first judgment of the tribulation in Revelation 6:1,2 -- the White Horse Rider, which brings all of the other riders upon the earth. This will be as when Moses came to set Israel free from bondage to the Egyptians. He brought all the judgments to accomplish this.) Josh and the baby boy represent both the fruit of Christ in their midst that they have rejected and the first-fruits Man-child ministry who is to lead them through the wilderness tribulation. As the Lord said, this is a “judgment on this nation, America,” for the apostate church has not represented Christ to them in being the salt needed to preserve them. This false church is leading America to destruction. Dream - 09/28/2007 - America's Judgment I walked into a large convention center full of young people. They were in groups all over the building. Some were standing and talking, others were bowed in groups in prayer. God spoke to my heart and said that His Holy Spirit is searching the heart of America. His Holy Spirit is going throughout this nation searching out those who are seeking His face in this time of turmoil. Searching this generation, for it is the last generation... And it shall not pass until we see the fulfillment of His Word. As I walked among them, I could hear them talking to each other and saying, “What do you think? Who will you vote for?” and others were giving their opinion on the matters of our world. God then spoke to me and said they are going by human reasoning; they are not looking to Me, the Author and Finisher of their Faith; they are searching out man's ways and not My ways. As I was walking among them, Hillary Clinton walked into the building and started walking among them also. God spoke into my heart and said, “This is Romans 1 being fulfilled in your sight. This is the first judgment coming into being on this nation in its FULLNESS. This nation is being given over.” God showed me that Clinton also was getting a feel of where they stood and what they were thinking and talking about. That we as a people in this nation are being marked, and we will be known for what we stand for in these final days. The ones who are weeping and mourning, standing in Truth and Righteousness, will be separated and marked as in Ezekiel 9. I then walked up to her and said, “You will be put in office, but it will bring this country down.”  I knew that she represented in the spirit this nation's final apostasy against God in its fullness. (This was a warning! Although she served herself in many offices, including first political lady [ Link! ], the highest office was denied her because of urgent prayers for mercy.)   Abandonment of a previous loyalty, the woman, this nation leaving her natural affection for God, her family, her children, given over to her lusts and vile affections. I then said, “This is our judgment!” I said this very loudly and pleading, knowing we are in judgment... I then said, “Tell America to REPENT!” But she just looked past me like I wasn't there and hadn't said anything to her. She walked away with a smirk on her face. God spoke into my heart and said, “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them”. (Rom.1:32) Dream - 10/01/2007 - Blow the Trumpet, Sound the Alarm, Our Judgment Has Come. My husband and I were standing by the riverbank; it was flowing over the top like a waterfall, so pretty. I knew that it was America in her false sense of security and prosperity -- everything flowing along so smoothly. I said with a loud voice, “It is getting ready to overflow (the U.S. leaving her God-given natural boundaries) like never before and bring destruction. It will destroy everything. (In Jeremiah 25, Babylon, which is called the great eagle [U.S.] in Ezekiel 17, brought the cup of wrath to all nations and then they brought it to her. “When the enemy comes in like a flood”. After the Man-child is anointed in Rev 6:2 comes World War. Rev.6:4 And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.) Everything that the people have put their trust in, in one moment it is going to be completely swept away before their eyes. God said, “Blow the trumpet in Zion. Sound the alarm!” I turned to my right and said, “Blow the trumpet”. My husband then picked up a trumpet and put it to his mouth, and started to blow. God is asking the men of God to once again put the trumpet to their mouths and blow, sound the alarm, proclaim the Truth. To warn the people to get their eyes off of this world and all that it holds, for it (that is, peace, security and prosperity) is all getting ready to be taken from them. God then said again, “Warn the people, it will destroy everything. Blow the trumpet!” Again, I turned to my right and said, “Blow the trumpet, warn the people”. My husband continued to blow the trumpet. God spoke to my heart and said, “Don't stop warning, don't stop telling, don't stop!” People were walking around like nothing was going to happen. Some were getting very angry with me for yelling in a loud voice. I recognized some of the people. My husband continued to blow the trumpet. Again, God spoke to my heart, “Even if the people whom you know don't like it and get angry with you, you must never stop blowing the trumpet! You must always proclaim Truth, no matter what happens”. I then knew that this was the fulfillment of the judgment that God had told me... He spoke to me and said, “A nation that forgets God is given over and this is the judgment... Deuteronomy 28 (which is the curse on the rebellious)... Your houses, your land, your children, your possessions, your freedom, your very lives will be taken from you in judgment.”   Flood of Judgment G.C.- 04/16/2008 (David's notes in red) I had one of the most vivid and real dreams in recent memory. In this dream, I was told by God that a great flood would destroy the world. He told me this before it even happened. As the days went by, after I had received His message, water started covering the Earth. The source of the water did not seem to be rainwater but came from the ground. (I recall that in the flood account of Noah, some of the water came from the fountains of the deep and this is what was happening in my dream.) It seemed like for weeks the water covered the world and after each passing day, the people had to abandon homes and buildings and move toward higher ground. I was just in awe of what was happening and tried my best to warn the people that this was God's judgment and that they needed to repent to be saved. I recall that I was never scared or frightened because of the fact that I had been warned before this started to happen, which gave me comfort. I spent the last days pleading with people about repentance but very few took heed. The last thing I remember is that I was at one of the highest points of land, and the water kept rising. I woke up before I could find out the outcome of the dream. I know that another great flood will not occur, but I do feel this was symbolic. Spiritually, a flood of judgment will cover the earth; it will come out of the earth from hell. The demons will administer the legal curse of the waters of the Word on the unrepentant. In the natural, we have seen mass flooding, fires, hurricanes, and large earthquakes all around the world, some man made, and the Tribulation hasn't even arrived.   Refuge from Judgment Sister R. from CA - 11/15/2010 (David's notes in red) I was outside (I am not sure of the place). I looked up at the heavens and noticed that suddenly the clouds turned dark. They were storm clouds. (Observing coming bad events from heaven, judgments, tribulations, and trials are near, and we can see them coming.) Then one opened up and the water gushed out, as if someone had poured a bucket of water out of it. (Sudden destructions from heaven whether through man or nature.) Then suddenly, the clouds of this water turned into this huge tidal wave. (Huge destructive events from heaven.) I realized that I could not outrun it. So, I ran into this building (I believe it was a hotel). (By our own strength we cannot escape. The hotel is the house of God. As with a hotel, we are individual buildings that are “builded together” to make up one building, His house [Ephesians 2:19-22]. Symbolizing revival. Many people find their way into the Kingdom as a refuge, an ark, from the wave, which represents the judgment on this world. 1Co.4:11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place.) I was with a group of people and we all went to the upper floors of the building. (A spiritual place of safety in heavenly places in Christ. Psa.94:22 But the LORD hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.) The water came into the building, and we had to go to higher floors for safety. (Waters of judgment will drive God's people higher in the refuge of Christ as Psalm 91 shows.) At one point, the water flooded onto the same floor where I was with this group of people. (We will see and share the experiences and overcome through faith.) I thought I was going to die, but I had peace because I knew that I was going to be with the Lord. (Trusting the Lord with life and death. Job 13:15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.) But the floor we were on (the side of this building where we were) had an elevator and a place where we could reach safety. (The elevator is the rest. You don't have to attempt to save yourselves by your own works; just get closer to God by grace through faith in Him.) When the floods came into this floor, not only could I see this elevator, but there was higher ground on this floor where we could step up to reach safety. (Praise the Lord! He provides a place of refuge every step of the way as in Psa.91.) We had working cell phones and light in the hotel. One person, I don't know who, received a phone call. (We have the ability to pray and abide in the Light of the Scriptures. “Working” cell phones mean effective communication with each other and the Lord.) I thought it was strange that we always had light because normally, if that situation had really happened, the electricity would go out. (There was light in Goshen when the rest of Egypt had none. The Lord will not withdraw His light or power in judgment situations. Do not fear, no matter what form it takes. The Lord will give great assurance.) During the entire dream, I had peace.   Impending Judgment on America From a prophet friend in East Florida: (I do not doubt that some of these judgments below will be lessened or done away with.) Vision 1: The Lord took me to the streets of America, and I saw the cities on fire. We have many millions of Muslims in America, and when the war breaks out in the Holy Land, and when America gets involved, they will burn America to the ground. I saw Muslim women coming into America and in their inner body parts, vials of anthrax and bio chemicals. I saw 180 million Americans die in a 72-hour period, then I saw New York, Florida, Nevada, Texas, and California nuked; we will be invaded. Russia and China will do it. (From other dreams I believe this will be close to the end of the tribulation. From famous visions and dreams, such as Washington's, Dumitru Duduman's, A.A. Allens, on our site, we know the righteous will overcome and have victory.) Vision 2: The Lord took me in the spirit to outer space, and I saw very dim stars. Then the lights came on, and I saw a huge asteroid, brown in color coming to planet earth, the asteroid turning over and over like tumbling. Vision 3: The Lord took me in the spirit, and I drove down the east coast of Florida and up the west coast, and when I was in Orlando, Florida - the Lord cut Florida in half, and I said, “Lord, have mercy.” and He said, “No more mercy.” And the second time I said, “Lord, have mercy.” He said, “No more mercy.” I asked the Lord why He is doing this, and He said, “Death of the innocents”. I saw from Kissimmee, Florida, to Miami underwater, then the Lord showed me portable buildings stacked like a train, all connected together. The buildings were full of people with legs and arms missing. I ran into the buildings, and there was no end to the buildings. Vision 4: I saw an asteroid race right by Florida and go north; what a horrible sound, and it hit us. Then I saw helicopters with men carrying guns, and when they came to me, I disappeared. Later, I was somewhere else, and I put out my hand, and an apple was there and I ate it. The Lord will take care of his true servants, don't worry. Vision 5: I was in a red suit and riding in a red car, and something was holding me from passing and going to the sea. (Covered in the red blood we are protected from the peoples, tribes, nations, and tongues.) Then they moved away, and I got to the sea; I dropped my cell phone, and I went into the sea and entered a building that was very strong and safe. (Spiritual Mount Zion is a place of safety in the midst of tribulation.) Interpretation: I have a great call on my life, Isaiah 63, 64, and 65. Red is the blood of Christ and power; the seas are the people for the harvest. The building is Christ and the cell phone is a connection to this world. We are to be led by the spirit and hearing God's voice and not be sold out to the world. God's Kingdom is not of this world. I died 17 years ago when I received the Holy Ghost and I'm a new creation in Christ Jesus. We must all go that way and we will do exploits for the end time harvest. Jesus said we will do greater things than He because He will send the Holy Ghost - Mark 16:17. Be one of them and give God all the glory. So, with all these judgments the Lord is bringing, we can have complete peace, rest, protection, and His provision as we believe and confess the Gospel.   The Real, Free Gospel David Eells God cannot fail, but we can hinder His works with our own. Jesus told his disciples, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees (Mat.16:6). They understood this to mean their teaching (verse 12). Their teaching that was so dangerous was salvation by self-works (Gal.2:16; 5:1-6). In explaining this in Mat.16:9,10 Jesus said, “Do you not perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets (12) you took up? Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets (7) you took up?” Notice that the more loaves they provided of their own supply, the fewer were fed, and there were less baskets of leftovers. Jesus' obvious point was that the more you work, the less God works. Salvation in any form is by grace, which is unmerited or unearned. “For by grace have ye been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, that no man should glory”. (Epe.2:8-9). The word “saved” here is translated from the Greek word “sozo” and is used in Luk.7:50 for the saving of the soul. In Luk.8:48, it is translated “made thee whole” for healing of the body. In Luk.8:36, it is translated “made whole” for deliverance from demons. In Mat.8:25, it is translated “save” for protection from danger. You see, “saved” covers every curse, and it is not of our works. Jesus “became a curse for us” so that we might have “the blessing of Abraham” (Gal.3:13,14). The all-inclusive curse in Deu.28 was put upon him. I remind you that Epe.2:8 says in the original Greek: “by grace have ye been saved”, meaning it happened at the cross. The wilderness is a completely safe and secure place for the “believer” because everything has already been provided there. Our faith in the promises is the very substance that the desired need is made from. (Heb.11:1) Now faith is assurance (or substance) of [things] hoped for, a conviction of things not seen. The reason Jesus said, “All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive (Greek: “received”) them, and ye shall have them” (Mar.11:24), is because all of our provision was accomplished at the cross. Notice in the following verses that all things have been received and that the only thing left is for us to believe it. Also notice the past tense of our sacrificial provision in the following verses: (Epe.2:8) for by grace have ye been saved through faith; (1Pe.2:24) who his own self bare our sins in his body ... by whose stripes we were healed; (Col.1:13) who delivered us out of the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; (2Co.5:18) ... who reconciled us to himself; (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ, and it's no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me; (Gal. 3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse; (1Pe.1:3) ... the Father ... begat us again ... by the resurrection of Jesus Christ; (Heb.10:10) We ... have been sanctified ...; (14) He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified; (Epe.1:3) ... who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing, and God in (2Pe.1:3) hath granted unto us all things. Jesus told us in His day which, of course was accomplished in the past that “Now shall the prince of this world be cast out” (Joh.12:31); “but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (Joh.16:33); “It is finished” (Joh.19:30). This is why we are to believe we have received. The devil and the curse were conquered. We were saved, healed, delivered, and provided for. That is why Paul said, “my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Phl.4:19). Redemption from the curse and provision for life are truly accomplished at the cross! In fact, God's “works were finished from the foundation of the world” (Heb.4:3), when He spoke the plan into existence. The only thing left is for the true sons of God to enter into those works by faith, believing they have received. Since the works are finished, we should believe and rest from our own works to save, heal, provide, and deliver ourselves. This is rest in the wilderness on the grounds of God's promises. (Heb.4:3) For we who have believed do enter into that rest. That is a spiritual Sabbath rest. (Heb.4:9) There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest (Greek: sabbatismos, “keeping of rest”) for the people of God. This constant “keeping of rest” every day through the past tense promises is our New Testament spiritual Sabbath. (10) For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. This rest is to believe these past tense promises. (Heb.4:1) Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. (2) For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

Lawrence Zarian welcomes actress Justine Lupe to his podcast and they joke about prisms, John Hamm comparisons, and first meeting at The Kelly Clarkson Show. Lawrence asks Justine what she sees in the mirror, and she says she most identifies through her relationships—as a daughter, mother, sister, wife, and friend—crediting her close, codependent upbringing for prioritizing intimacy and safety over career volatility. They discuss her early creative spark (playing the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz), her New York years, and her work on Succession (choosing Shiv on a desert island) and Nobody Wants This, including Morgan's vulnerability, fearlessness, and dynamic with Sasha. Justine talks about transparency around body image and social media, advises focusing on soulfulness over aesthetics, and defines relationship essentials as mutual respect, vulnerability, and optimism. She ends by stating she is beautiful because she is soulful, kind, thoughtful, and deeply witnesses the people she loves.Timestamp Menu: 00:17 Prism Compliments00:58 John Hamm Mixup02:10 Kelly Clarkson Encounter05:33 Singing Suddenly Seymour07:06 Finding The Right Fit08:47 Mirror Question Identity11:21 Family Roots Of Closeness15:19 Midwest And New York Years16:58 Early Spark For Acting20:00 Parents And Healing23:10 Succession Breakout26:32 Desert Island Roy Pick28:57 Nobody Wants This Praise29:43 Fearlessness From Dad30:41 Embracing Goofy Humor32:56 Fearless Creative Risks33:35 Trusting the Film Crew35:56 Desert Island Character Pick36:48 Why Morgan Resonates39:25 Morgan and Sasha Chemistry41:33 Body Image and Transparency43:56 Advice for Social Media Pressure53:23 Season Two and Relationship Keys58:21 Beauty Definition and Farewell

It only took forty days. Forty days since the mountain shook, since they heard God's voice, since they trembled at His presence and begged Moses to speak for them because they were too afraid. And now they're melting down their gold and building something they can see, touch, and control. The golden calf wasn't just an act of rebellion. It was what happens when impatience wins. When we can't trust God's timing, we start filling the gap with something else. Money, success, relationships, comfort, habits. We don't always bow down to idols made of gold, but we all have something that quietly takes God's place when the waiting gets hard. So here's the question worth sitting with today: what have you been building while you wait?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Good Morning, Islanders Country.It's a Quick Fix featuring Joe Buono (@IslesFix) and former VP of Communications for the Islanders, Chris Botta (@ChrisBottaNHL).In this episode, Joe and Chris dive into an honest and nuanced discussion about the Islanders' move to acquire Brayden Schenn, unpacking why the trade is far more complicated than a simple “win or lose” transaction. The two examine the deal from several angles, including the perspective of the new Islanders GM, Mathieu Darche, the players in the room, and the fan base trying to make sense of the cost and timing. Joe and Chris walk through the reasoning behind the move, the price paid to land an aging middle-six center, and why opinions around the Islanders community remain divided.At the center of the conversation is Darche's decision-making. As Joe and Chris explain, the easiest path would have been to stand pat when the asking price climbed too high. Instead, Darche chose conviction. The trade reflects a calculated decision to reward the current roster and show belief in the group already competing for the Islanders.Rather than risk looking back with regret about not doing enough, Darche acted boldly and aggressively, making a move that signals intent. The episode explores whether that kind of conviction is exactly what Islanders fans have been hoping to see from the front office—and what it could mean for the team moving forward.

What does it actually take to build a business that lasts 25 years in Nigeria — through recessions, exchange rate crashes, COVID, counterfeit competitors, and a rapidly changing economy? Mrs. Temilola Adepetun has the answer, and it is not what most people expect.This episode of Founders Connect is one of the most layered and honest conversations about what entrepreneurship really looks like over the long term. Temilola breaks down exactly how she validated a business idea in her head before there was internet, how she dragged inventory through the streets of New York in winter with stiff hands and no nails left just to keep the business stocked, and how she survived two major competitors rising up to take her market — not by going to war with them, but by refusing to compromise on quality until her customers came back to her on their own.She talks about the real cost of growing too fast, the discipline of growing organically, and why staying focused on your lane in the early years is one of the most underrated business decisions a founder can make. She walks through what it took to go from being the sole operator of a seasonal business to building a head office, hiring a COO thirteen years in, doubling revenue within two years of that hire, and then using that momentum to attract private equity. She explains what due diligence actually looked like for a brick-and-mortar business and why the most powerful thing she ever did was bank every single naira she made and keep audited records from day one.She also shares her mental model for leaving corporate life, the Yoruba philosophy that shaped her decision to take the leap, how she read the market before anyone else saw it, and the specific mindset shift that helped her see a seasonal business not as a limitation but as a puzzle to solve. And she opens up about succession planning, the deliberate decision to pass operational control to a younger leader whose values aligned with hers, and why she believes that letting other people in — truly in — is the most important thing a founder can do to make their business outlast them.If you have ever wondered whether it is too late to start, whether a simple idea can become something serious, whether a non-tech business can scale, attract capital, and compete globally, this episode is the answer.

We are often conditioned to believe that more money is the ultimate finish line in business. The assumption is that once revenue hits a certain milestone, stress will vanish, decisions will become effortless, and the business will magically start running itself.

In this episode, we continue the Leave the Drama at the Door philosophy by talking about something simple — but incredibly powerful: The ability to not react. After the last few episodes exploring intuition, hidden drama, and raising your standards, this conversation focuses on what happens when drama actually shows up in your real life. Because the truth is… drama rarely announces itself. It usually appears disguised as: • gossip • concern • venting • or someone pulling you into a conversation that has nothing to do with your growth. So how do you respond without escalating the situation? One powerful response is simply: “Hmmmm… interesting.” In this episode we explore how learning to observe instead of react can protect your peace, strengthen your boundaries, and change the environments you allow around you. You'll hear real-life examples about recognizing patterns of drama, noticing hypocrisy, and learning to respond with awareness rather than emotional energy. Because the women who move differently understand something important: Peace isn't accidental. Peace is protected. And sometimes the most powerful response is simply noticing the behavior and choosing not to participate. In this episode we talk about: • Trusting your intuition when something feels off • Recognizing how drama recruits an audience • Why reacting emotionally feeds chaotic environments • The power of observation instead of confrontation • Protecting your peace without escalating conflict Key Takeaway When drama shows up, you don't have to argue, explain, or participate. Sometimes the strongest response is simply: “Hmmmm… interesting.” And then moving forward with your standards intact.

Kelly reflects on a moment from Tuesday's conversation with Laura Modi, founder of the infant formula company Bobbie, who had 48 hours to decide whether to take on thousands of desperate new parents during the 2022 formula shortage or stand by her current customers. Laura went against every growth model and turned the new customers away to protect those who already trusted her—not because of data provided in a spreadsheet or advice from consultants but because she trusted what she knew in her bones.  This episode was made possible by a grant from Ingeborg Initiatives, a social impact platform dedicated to improving maternal health and making it easier to raise a family.

The Bible is abundantly clear that Adam was historical—the gospel is even founded on this fact! So why do so many Christians deny his historicity?

What does it mean to "trust the process"? What qualifies as a process worth trusting? How can we discern the difference between when it's time to trust the process and when we need to disrupt it?

Laura Modi had mastitis five days into motherhood— blistered and bleeding, fever raging—and when she finally turned to formula, she discovered the first ingredient was corn syrup. So, she did what any sleep-deprived new mom would do: she went down a 2 AM research rabbit hole and emerged determined to change an entire industry. In this first episode of our Women of Consequence series, Kelly talks with the co-founder and CEO of infant formula brand Bobbie about what happened during the 2022 formula shortage when she had 48 hours to decide between chasing growth or serving existing customer—and why she raised $70 million to buy a manufacturing facility even though less than 5% of manufacturers in this country are run by women. This is a story about being underestimated, trusting lived experience over spreadsheets, and understanding that when you're not just the CEO but also the customer, you're dangerous in the best possible way.

In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 1: A Completely New Way. We reflect on the "little way" of St. Thérèse, the invitation to become spiritual children before the Father, and how weakness becomes the very place where Christ comes to meet us. We also talk about the difference between being childish and childlike, why true maturity in faith begins with admitting our own poverty, and how small acts of courage open the door to deep healing. This week, we invite you to name the desires stirring in your heart and let the Holy Spirit awaken a new song within you.   Heather's One Thing - Franciscan's Campus-wide "Behold" Retreat Sister Miriam's One Thing - Healing Wounds by Bishop Erik Varden  Michelle's One Thing - The O' Grady's Beach House  Michelle's Other One Thing - Emily Lex Watercolor Workbooks    Journal Questions: How often do I accept the letter of God's adoption of me, and not the spirit of God's adoption? Where in my life do I need Mother Mary to smile upon me? How have I turned to self-reliance this Lent? Where is God inviting me to become more adult and free? What is the new song the Lord wants to put in my heart?   Discussion Questions: When do you notice orphanhood in your heart? What are you learning from St. Therese this Lent? When have you experienced the healing delight of a mother? Is it difficult for you to name your desires? What is one desire God has placed on your heart this Lent? What is the "yes" God is asking you to make today?   Quotes to Ponder: "You know, Mother, that I have always desired to be a saint, but alas, I have always realized, when I compared myself to the saints, that there is between them and me the same difference as exists between a mountain whose summit is lost in the skies, and the obscure grain of sand trodden underfoot by passers-by. Instead of getting discouraged, I said to myself: "God could not" "inspire us with desires that were unrealizable, so despite my littleness I can aspire to holiness. It is impossible for me to grow up, I must put up with myself as I am, with all my imperfections; but I want to find how to get to Heaven by a little way that is quite straight, quite short: a completely new little way." (St. Thérèse of Lisieux)   "Each of us has an absolute need for an inner transformation that makes us "as little as a child." What that means and how to put it into practice are exactly what Thérèse teaches in a simple, luminous way. That is why she was proclaimed a Doctor—that is, a teacher—of the Church." (Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 6)   "The heart of Christian life is to receive and welcome God's tenderness and goodness, the revelation of his merciful love, and to let oneself be transformed interiorly by that love." (Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 7)   Scripture for Lectio: "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me." (2 Corinthians 12:9)   Sponsor - Healed and Restored: Healed and Restored is a non-profit organization located in the Charlotte, NC area that was created in 2020 to fill a void and respond to a need that has been long overlooked in our society. A program that is 100% dedicated to helping women heal in the aftermath of abuse, assault, and other traumatic experiences. According to the United Nations, one in three girls and women around the world has been subjected to sexual and/or physical abuse at least once in their lives. Studies show that women who have been through abuse (of all types) have higher levels of fear, are more isolated, and face greater mental health problems. In the aftermath of any of these traumatic events, women will sometimes resort to hurting themselves through cutting, eating disorders, and addictions. Without proper care and healing, these dark cycles can persist for years. We help women and girls realize that God desires to heal every single one of His beloved children. We teach them that the enemy is a master manipulator. As soon as a person gets hurt, the devil begins to plant all kinds of lies in our hurting souls. Some of these lies are: God doesn't love you, everything that happened is your fault, you should be forever ashamed, and you will never find healing and peace. The Mission The Healed and Restored mission is to help women and girls who are survivors of abuse, assault, domestic violence, trafficking, and all other forms of trauma find healing and restoration. Grounded in Catholic teachings and through a combination of counseling, life coaching, intimate workshops, practical tools, spiritual mentoring, and community support we help women and girls transform pain into purpose— empowering them to not only survive, but thrive. Since 2020, Healed and Restored has helped over 500 women and girls on their journey to process their unhealed wounds. Never could we have predicted how much God would bless our mission in such a short period of time. All of this has us convinced that there are times when God uses our deepest pain to propel us on the path to our greatest calling!

(13:00) Anna received her Jaspr air scrubber. (22:00) Certification of products—what is that about, and is it real? (32:00) Anna explains how it works, and they discuss olive oil as an example. Compliance and scaling up manufacturing needs are important. Vinnie won't work with a company unless it is GMP- and NSF-certified. GMP is Good Manufacturing Practices. NSF is the National Science Foundation. Supplements can be suspect if they are manufactured in a facility without GMP or NSF practices. Certifications can matter and can also be abused. (48:00) Anna has a fantastic announcement: she is stepping into the shoes of the late Estelle Harris and becoming the voice of Mrs. Potato Head in Toy Story 5! (50:00) They discuss a little of the darker side of being an actor in L.A.
