In this episode, we tackle one of the most overlooked and impactful ways to give—through appreciated assets. Whether you're thinking about supporting your church or blessing a loved one, we break down how to give more wisely and tax-efficiently. This conversation was inspired by a listener from Marietta, and we couldn't resist diving deeper into this topic that stirs up both generosity and smart planning. Join Randy, Nic, and me (Aaron) as we explore two powerful angles: giving to charities versus giving to individuals. You'll hear real-life stories, key strategies to avoid unnecessary taxes, and tips on how to be generous without creating financial complications for your recipients. If you've ever wondered whether to write a check or gift appreciated stock instead—this episode's for you.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this powerful and urgent episode of the Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim challenges listeners to confront a critical question: Which part of humanity will you fracture into? As the world undergoes rapid change and spiritual divergence, Jim explores the growing split between those who are awakening into higher consciousness and those entrenched in fear, ego, and distraction. Drawing on wisdom from Don Xavier, Nostradamus, and spiritual science, Jim helps frame today's chaos as not merely political or economic—but vibrational and evolutionary.  Jim discusses how humanity is fracturing into two paths: one aligned with love, light, and soul awareness, and another trapped in fear, density, and the illusions of the 3D world. He speaks directly to the lightworkers, healers, and seekers who sense that something deeper is happening beneath the surface of global events. With clarity and compassion, he reminds us that the path to immunity from chaos begins by raising our frequency—starting from within.  This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels out of place in today's noisy world. If you've ever felt that you were born for more, that your role is to bring light, or that the world doesn't quite feel like home—this episode will help you see why.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Humanity is Fracturing into Two Paths (02:15) Jim outlines how society is splitting into two distinct energetic realities: one of love and evolution, the other of fear and ego.  Why “Raising Your Frequency” Is the Ultimate Solution (07:35) Learn how raising your inner frequency can protect you from the chaos and lower energies dominating today's world.  The Role of Sentinels and Sleepwalkers in Human Evolution (13:05) Jim introduces the concepts of sentinels (the awakened) and sleepwalkers (the lost), and invites listeners to identify their path.  What Nostradamus Got Right About Our Current World (22:40) Explore prophetic insights from Nostradamus, including the “inversion ritual” and the rise of metal tongues—an eerie foreshadowing of modern digital life.  How to Raise Your Frequency Through Thought and Emotion (31:20) Jim breaks down the path from thought to feeling to frequency and why managing emotions is essential to spiritual growth.  The Children of the Divide and the Second Dawn (41:00)  Discover how younger generations—Indigo and crystalline children—are ushering in the next era of higher consciousness and soulful living.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  We are not waiting for the shift—it's already happening. Humanity is evolving, and with it, the vibrational split between fear and love is widening. You are here for a reason. You are not lost, and you are not alone. You are a sentinel, a light bearer, a guardian of higher truth. Your path is not to fight the darkness, but to stand so fully in your light that darkness cannot persist. Remember: the greatest rebellion is joy. The strongest shield is peace. And the most radical act is to raise your frequency and lead with love.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

In considering the long-term relationships I've observed that have done the distance, I've noticed two commonalities. The folks who end up staying together either stop short or go long. Using an extended metaphor, I explain what this means for the sexual marketplace, and why many people meet with suboptimal outcomes. These two approaches seem to be the two paths to a relationship.

Yesterday, we saw how the only way to get on the narrow path which leads to life is through Jesus Christ, whose death for our sins enables us to receive forgiveness and freedom from guilt, and whose shed blood cleanses us from all sin.But the story doesn't end with Jesus hanging on the cross. Nor does it end with Him rising from the dead. What happened next was crucial to our ability to stay on the narrow path.Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more.Scripture Used in Today's MessageMatthew 7:13-14John 14:16-18Acts 2Galatians 5:21-22If you've not read my book, Takin' it to Their Turf. request a copy on my website, www.CampusAmerica.com.You'll be inspired, encouraged, and learn plenty about evangelism and spiritual warfare through the 70+ stories I share of my campus evangelism experiences.We send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email. Who do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher To support Tom Short Campus Ministries, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/support************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.TomthePreacher.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.

Jesus taught that we must choose between two paths in life. He lays a choice before us, carefully articulating the rewards and consequences of each path. Offering this choice to people has been the primary approach I've used in sharing the gospel in recent years. I call this The Two Paths Gospel Presentation. I think you would benefit from learning this presentation, so I will be developing it over the coming week.Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more.Scripture Used in Today's MessageMatthew 7:13-14If you've not read my book, Takin' it to Their Turf. request a copy on my website, www.CampusAmerica.com.You'll be inspired, encouraged, and learn plenty about evangelism and spiritual warfare through the 70+ stories I share of my campus evangelism experiences.We send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email. Who do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher To support Tom Short Campus Ministries, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/support************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.TomthePreacher.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.

In this powerful conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus invites us to a moment of decision. In Matthew 7:13–27, He lays out a series of striking contrasts: • Two gates • Two trees • Two builders Each choice leads to a drastically different outcome—life or destruction, truth or deception, stability or collapse. In this episode, we explore what it means to walk the narrow path, bear true spiritual fruit, and build a life on the unshakable rock of obedience to Jesus. If your faith has ever been more talk than transformation, this message is your wake-up call—and your invitation to deeper surrender. Key Takeaways: • Why the easy road is often the most dangerous • How to recognize true spiritual fruit in your life • What it means to truly “know” Jesus—not just say His name • How to build a life that stands when storms come

Finishing chapter 2! If there are 2 paths, one with a known source of impurity and the other ostensibly pure, and you don't know which is which, and he walked both paths, he was definitely impure, but it's not known when he became impure. But what if he forgot where he walked? How does he track when he became impure? Also, what about a person who did the same transgression where it entails a sin-offering, for example, and he did it again, and isn't sure about what h remembered and what he forgot. With a clear dispute among Amoraim.

Two Paths To Glory Speaker: Jim Blalock

Which path are you really on—and where is it taking you?ABOUT THIS MESSAGE:In this message from Proverbs 4, Pastor Adam Burton challenges us to look at the direction our lives are heading. Every step we take is shaping who we're becoming—and not all roads lead to life. With practical wisdom and heartfelt insight, this sermon invites us to walk the path of God's truth and stay rooted in His light.

More on dividend growth investing  -> Join our market newsletter!  While dividend growth remains the core of what we do, it's not the only path to building an income stream. In times of market distress, opportunities emerge that are simply too compelling to ignore. When venturing into troubled waters, the key is to stay disciplined and unemotional. Volatility may test you, but the potential rewards can be worth it. In this episode, Greg explores two distinct approaches to finding value from an income perspective. In the first half, he discusses business development corporations (BDCs), which often offer eye-catching yields north of 10%. Using Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp. ($OCSL) as a case study, he unpacks how BDCs are structured, where their income potential comes from, and why they carry above-average risk. More importantly, he shares why patience and preparation are key to capturing value when these high-yield opportunities go on sale. In the second half, we shift gears back to a more traditional name for dividend growth investors. Greg introduces Sysco Corp. ($SYY), a 50-year dividend payer in the essential world of food distribution. Unlike the high-yield, high-volatility world of BDCs, Sysco represents steady, well-managed growth with consistent operations.

In this message, Jesus will begin the conclusion of his Sermon on the Mount by looking at the first of 4 sets of choices concerning His Kingdom. In doing so, we'll consider two paths that are presented before us, that we might seek to enter the one Jesus Has provided, that leads to new and everlasting life.   Scripture: Matthew 7:12-14

13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.  14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' Sermon Questions: 1. How does Jesus' difinitive comment - there are only two paths in life (to life or to destruction) sit with you?2. Are you prone to hear false prophets that make the path easy or that put restrcitions up to make it seem like you are safe from danger?3. What flashy acts tend catch your spiritual attention? (prayer, knowledge, piety, miracles, etc?)4. Jesus is the gate, and the way, and the life - what does walking with him look like today?5. A narrow gate, a hard path, few who find it - which is the hardest for you to trust in Jesus' wisdom today?

In this session, we are joined by historical theologian, Dr. Paul Capetz. Dr. Capetz, a minister in the United Methodist Church and former theology professor at various Protestant seminaries, discusses liberal Christology and its limitations. While identifying as a liberal theologian who seeks to reconcile Protestant heritage with Enlightenment thinking, Capetz argues that traditional liberal Christology is fundamentally flawed. He explains that liberal theologians like Friedrich Schleiermacher attempted to reconstruct the historical Jesus using modern historical analysis, but this approach faces insurmountable challenges. Following Rudolf Bultmann, whom Capetz considers the greatest New Testament scholar of the 20th century, he contends that a biography of Jesus cannot be written due to limited reliable historical sources. More importantly, Capetz argues that Christology shouldn't be based on speculations about Jesus's relationship with God, but rather on the apostles' witness to Jesus as the decisive revelation of God's love. Despite his fascination with the historical Jesus question, Capetz believes that the liberal approach of grounding Christology in historical reconstruction is both historically impossible and theologically misguided.

In this lecture, Dr. Bikman presents a framework for understanding the two primary patterns of insulin resistance onset—what he terms “fast” and “slow” insulin resistance.“Fast” insulin resistance happens quickly and can often be reversed just as rapidly. It's typically triggered by three major factors: elevated insulin (from frequent carb consumption), stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine, and inflammation (from infection, injury, or autoimmune activity). These triggers lead to the cellular accumulation of ceramides, which interfere with insulin signaling at the molecular level. The good news, he emphasizes, is that when these triggers are removed, the insulin resistance can often resolve quickly.“Slow” insulin resistance, on the other hand, develops gradually and is more difficult to reverse. It begins in the fat cell, where prolonged exposure to insulin and excess calories causes hypertrophy—the fat cells get larger. As they grow, they become insulin resistant as a form of self-preservation, but this leads to a damaging cascade: elevated free fatty acids, chronic low-grade inflammation, and disruption of glucose control. Dr. Bikman describes how hypertrophic fat cells become hypoxic, triggering inflammation and impairing surrounding tissues.Unlike the fast form, slow insulin resistance is rooted in long-term lifestyle habits and takes time to correct. The standard advice to “just cut calories” fails to address the core issue—chronically high insulin. Instead, Ben recommends that people first focus on lowering insulin through carbohydrate restriction, which naturally curbs hunger, boosts energy expenditure, and allows fat cells to shrink in a sustainable way.He concludes that understanding whether your insulin resistance is fast or slow in origin can help shape more effective interventions. With better insight into the mechanisms—from ceramides to fat cell hypertrophy—comes better, more targeted strategies to improve metabolic health.Show Notes/References:For complete show notes and references, we invite you to become a Ben Bikman Insider subscriber.

Today, we're sitting down with John Kasich, former Governor of Ohio and a passionate advocate for community-driven change. In his new book 'Heaven Help Us', Kasich explores how faith institutions can be powerful catalysts for solving local problems. We'll dive into stories of everyday people who are making real differences in their communities, from fighting human trafficking to supporting refugees. This conversation is about hope, grassroots action, and how ordinary people can create extraordinary change when they work together. John shares personal stories and insights about bottom-up problem solving, the role of faith communities, and why believing in our collective potential matters more than ever. So join us as we join together with faith communities to make a real difference in our society. John Kasich is a national leader who has spent a lifetime bringing people together to solve big problems and leave the world around them just a little bit better than they found it. Kasich served as the 69th governor of Ohio and ran for President during the 2016 GOP primary. His message focused on unifying Americans rather than dividing them, championing the great potential of our citizens to make positive impacts in their own communities, a strong national defense, and the importance of our international alliances. Today, he runs the Kasich Company and serves as a political analyst for NBC, CNBC, and MSNBC. He is the author of four New York Times bestsellers: Courage Is Contagious; Stand for Something; Every Other Monday; Two Paths, and It's Up to Us. His most recent book, Heaven Help Us is available April 8. He is married to Karen Kasich and is the proud father of adult twin daughters.John's Book:Heaven Help UsJohn's Recommendations:Our Heavenly FatherA Tree Grows in BrooklynSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.
