Peter's encounter shows that Jesus doesn't ask his apprentices to always be right. Instead, he invites us to trust his way of life and to reject sketchy shortcuts to godly goals.

With so much going on in and around our lives, it can be difficult to keep God at the center. We want to, it's in our hearts to fix our eyes on Him, but we get lost in the grind of daily life. The problem is when we shift our focus off God, we focus it onto ourselves and our own strength and ability. This thinking sets us up for failure because, if we're living in our own strength, then that's what we're limited to. Pastor Ken encourages you today to rely on Jesus – both in the bad times and in the good.

Who doesn't love a good compliment? It's nice when someone comments on an outfit or haircut or recognizes your contribution at work, home, or church. It's important to receive and to give encouragement. But what happens when it goes too far? Can you discern when you're being “buttered up” for something or do you get wrapped up in the good things they're saying? Today, Pastor Ken tells you that flattery distracts you and lessens your discernment which leaves you vulnerable to the enemy.

We've all been in need. Times when we've just about given up. Our month lasted longer than our money and now we have to decide between food and electricity or a family member is in the hospital or we've made a mistake and the consequences seem more than we can bear. We cry out to God, “Help!” And when He comes through, there's no better feeling. Today, Pastor Ken encourages you to remember those times and don't forget that it was God that brought you through, not your own effort and ability.

When do we need God? The answer is obvious – we always need God. But that's not how we live our lives. From family tragedy to losing our car keys, God is constantly on our minds. But what happens when we're doing well? When we're excelling in life, living from our strengths, do we not need Him then? Today, Pastor Ken reminds you that when you're at your strongest, you're actually at your most vulnerable. And that, after a big win, you need to seek God rather than coasting on the blessings.

View Chris Bantz and I talk about finding common ground based on the latest edition of The Embassy called Something in Common.Here is an excerpt …Over the past three editions of The Embassy, we have looked at what transformation from within is and how it can impact our culture, instead of our efforts to ‘change the world'. We have looked at how we can resist the impulse to draw ever shrinking circles for ourselves and instead take Two Steps Forward. And we have looked at a picture of our stance in culture - that of an Ambassador representing their home in another place. Armed with this belief that there is common ground to find, what might this look like, at least in part? How can we find that place from which we can connect and communicate? Because I am hoping to sketch a view of a Christian cultural stance, I have in mind an episode from the life of Paul in the culturally dissonant (to him) city of Athens found in Acts 17.Paul and his companions were on one of his missionary journeys in the middle of the first century, establishing and visiting churches, mostly in present day Greece and Turkey.Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.Acts 17:15Here, Paul is left in Athens for a number of days, waiting for others to join him. In this chapter, a significant and lengthy message and other activities of Paul are recorded. We don't have the time or space to look at them in depth, but I want to consider the first crucial move in this new place - a tipping point between finding common ground with connection and communication on the one side and missing it with alienation and disconnection on the other.While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols.Acts 17:16Paul looked around him and he was greatly distressed. Some translations say he was deeply grieved. He saw these idols, representing not only a people disconnected from the true God, but a dishonoring of that true God. He was greatly distressed. Can you relate? Have you looked at the world, at the actions of others around you, at the lostness and dishonoring, and have you been greatly distressed in response? It is with this in view that we can run away from a chance at common ground - with all that is different so prominent, we, in our distress - miss our chance for common ground.Read the whole piece (after listening to the whole episode!)The Embassy is a reader-supported publication.

Jehoshaphat had a true desire to seek the Lord, following God in faith. The sad thing is that he did it inconsistently. Perhaps that's something to which many of us can relate, as we each struggle with faithfulness. The good news for us? Jesus is faithful! He is faithful to us, despite our faithlessness to […]

This episode is taken from last week's dispatch from The Embassy - Two Steps Forward. Here is an excerpt … ViewThere is a principle that those within the Christian church have claimed for centuries: In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, charity. There are essentials, but there aren't very many of them. In Christianity, maybe ten, maybe a dozen - not more. Even the reformation creeds, generally much longer, are broken into a similar number of chapters. The Westminster Confession of Faith - the preeminent protestant creed in the English language, is broken into nine sections, normally. (The WCF is long on paper, because most every page is more than half covered by the scriptural footnotes.) When we create dozens or hundreds of qualifying points of orthodoxy, the result is shrinking and dividing … and, to the point I hope to make soon, withdrawing. We withdraw deeper into our own shrinking groups, and we grow farther away from everyone else. In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, charity.In fact, the trend in our culture is that growing farther and farther away from the “bad” people is good and that has become a baseline assumption for many in the church - even a baseline marker of virtue. This is wrong on two fronts. First in the drawing of these circles of condemnation in the first place, and second in moving away from those within them. The movement relationally the bible is most interested in is in the other direction. This trend of the drawing of these circles and moving away from is a misunderstanding, but it has a long history in our culture, and across many cultures - it appears to be a common human instinct. Of course, biblical religion - really almost all religion - seeks often to redirect some of these common instincts. An example of such a redirection is found in Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth, alongside a longer explanation of what movement in the opposite direction might look like.… read the whole piece here.The Embassy is a reader-supported publication.

On Episode 64 of The Art of Aging Mindfully, I share a valuable lesson I learned in my late 20's from the legendary acting teacher Thurman E. Scott. Thurman taught me that it was natural, when integrating new knowledge into our daily lives, to make two steps forward (progress, deeper awareness) but to be aware that one step backwards (regression) can be a normal part of the personal growth experience. In this light, progress is slow, steady, and incremental. We must embrace ourselves lovingly when we fall down, get back up, and get right back into the saddle.  This is the main reason master Patanjali, emphasizes the notion of continuous, uninterrupted practice.To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:https://theartofagingmindfully.com/

Delays persist in several of the cases against former president Trump, including in the New York case that was set to begin next week. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord detail what led to the delay in receiving documents from the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan. They also review Judge Cannon's decision on Trump's motion to dismiss the Florida documents case based on ‘vagueness' in the Espionage Act. Then, Andrew and Mary turn to the Georgia ruling that led to the resignation of lead prosecutor Nathan Wade. Plus, Monday's news that the former president can't find an insurance company to underwrite his $464 Million bond for the judgement in his NY civil fraud case.

Parshat Bo - Go (T) Exodus 10:1 - 13:16 (H) Jeremiah 46:13-28

Progress and change can seem like ‘two steps forward and three steps back' but maybe the steps need to be millimetres and with gradual gentle side ways movements we can see movement.   It was disappointing when then they said it. In fact, it was surprising. They said it with good intentions, but it displayed a kind of stereotyping or categorising of a group of people that deserve much more. The words were these. ‘With your people, it's two steps forward and three steps back.' I lost confidence in his ability to understand what I was called to do in the ministry. Then there was the person who described the people I was supporting as having ‘special needs'. I think she was confusing mental illness with people having an intellectual disability. I took little guidance from her, either. There's some people you don't want or need in your room. Have you ever been categorised or labeled? Maybe you've been pressured to change, ‘get better', be different. All you ever wanted was someone to walk millimetres beside you and to be a friend. Don't walk in front of me… I may not follow Don't walk behind me… I may not lead Walk beside me… just be my friend. Albert Camus   Read this further here Sign up for my weekly email full of help for your Mental Health, Faith and Spiritual Formation.

Episode 178: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back by Craig Johnson

David and Rachel are the hosts of the Divorce Devil Podcast, where they discuss various aspects of divorce recovery and provide advice and support to those going through the process. Summary: David and Rachel discuss the topic of hate during and after divorce. They explore how anger can be both positive and negative, and how it can motivate individuals to make changes in their lives. They also discuss the importance of communication and not making assumptions about the other person's feelings. Rachel shares her personal experience of feeling unimportant in her marriage and how it led to resentment and hate. They emphasize the need to let go of hate in order to move forward and be the best version of oneself. Key Takeaways: Anger can be both positive and negative, motivating individuals to make changes but also leading to regrettable actions. Hate is a learned response and can stem from feeling unimportant or not being heard in a relationship. Hate can serve as a distancing mechanism, allowing individuals to sever ties and make difficult decisions. Prolonged hate can be mentally, emotionally, and physically draining, hindering the healing process. Self-care is essential in combating hate and moving forward after divorce. Quotes: Anger can be positive, negative, but it can motivate you to get out of a rut." - David "If you're not communicating, you don't know what the other person's feeling because you can't read minds yet." - Rachel "The longer you stay in that negative state, the more it affects you physically." - Rachel "Let go of the hate because you can't move forward and be the best version of you." - Rachel  And those ever-present off-the-wall collateral conversation topics: Ying and yang Stuck in anger  different levels of hate Divorce Recovery Groundhog Day Respect One calorie hate Baby and diet hate Stress can be physical Familiar and comfortable Thanksgiving and a bike ride A false sense of security

Resilience is a topic I've wanted to explore for a long time on the podcast. After all, how can we continue to work on ourselves if our progress is always getting cut short? So in this week's episode, we're going to explore 6 tips for becoming more resilient in your life. When I started doing the research for today's episode on how to handle sliding back when you've made some progress, something about my search terms brought up a bunch of articles on how to handle sliding while driving on icy roads. I was going to pass these over but then I got a little distracted and a little curious about what the pros have to say about this. Living in New England, knowing how to handle driving on icy roads is a requirement so I thought I should brush up on my knowledge. And, as I read through the article, I realized that all of the tips they suggested applied quite well to sliding back when making progress! So, today's episode is a two-fer! It will teach you about managing both sliding while driving on icy roads and sliding back after making good progress. Once again, Focus Forward to the rescue! Here are some resources related to the episode.How to handle backslides: https://www.scottsfortcollinsauto.com/what-do-you-do-if-your-car-is-sliding-on-ice/Resilience Resources:https://www.apa.org/topics/resiliencehttps://www.child-encyclopedia.com/resilience/according-experts/protective-role-executive-function-skills-high-risk-environmentshttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6403185/https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_to_hardwire_resilience_into_your_brainJames Clear: https://jamesclear.com/get-back-on-trackEmotional regulation: https://developingchild.harvard.edu/science/key-concepts/executive-function/Consistency: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9iZTI4OGFjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz/episode/NDBjMDBiMTUtMzMwMy00OGVjLWI2OWMtMGE3ZjNmNDlmZGI3?ep=14Breaking streaks:https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/ulterior-motives/202306/how-broken-streaks-sap-motivationContact us!Reach out to us at podcast@beyondbooksmart.comIG/FB/TikTok @beyondbooksmartcoachingTranscript:Before I get started today, I wanted to ask for a favor!

Okay, let's get going.When I started doing the research for today's episode on how to handle sliding back when you've made some progress, something about my search terms brought up a bunch of articles on how to handle sliding while driving on icy roads. I was going to pass these over but then I got a little distracted and a little curious about what the pros have to say about this. Living in the NE, knowing how to handle driving on icy roads is a requirement so I thought I should brush up on my knowledge. And, as I read through the article, I realized that all of the tips they suggested applied quite well to sliding back when making progress! So, today's episode is a two-fer! It will teach you about managing both sliding while driving on icy roads and sliding back after making good progress. Once again, Focus Forward to the rescue! The article I'll refer to throughout the episode is aptly called “What Do You Do If Your Car is Sliding on Ice?” and it was written by someone at Scott's Automotive and Service Centers, Inc with locations throughout Colorado and Arizona. You can find a link to it in the show notes if you want more information or want to read their other well-written and informative articles. Before I dive into the article, I wanted to share some science-y stuff about executive function and resilience, because resilience is basically what I'm exploring today - managing the challenge of sliding back after having made some progress. We need to be resilient to get back on the horse, if you will. Research has shown that there is a direct connection between resilience and executive function skills. It appears that when your executive functioning is strong, your sense of self-efficacy is strengthened, as well. Self-efficacy, as we have talked about before in a couple of other episodes, is the belief that you have the ability to motivate yourself, accomplish tasks, and make decisions.Studies have also shown that adolescents have a better time adjusting to school when they have stronger executive functioning and are more resilient. As a coach, I see this all the time in my college clients. After I've worked with them for a while and they've created some systems that work really well to support their EF skills, I see them being more resilient. They head into difficult times during the school year with more confidence and they come through it having had a better experience. If you'd like to do some reading on resilience and executive function, check out the show notes because I stuck some articles in there that you might find interesting. So, here's another reason to work on building your executive function skills, especially as teenagers and young adults. Okay, so back to icy driving conditions. Scott's Automotive shared six tips for icy driving success in the article. I'll review them all and tie them to some executive functioning strategies that can help us when we feel like we're taking two steps forward and one step back, which by the way, is very normal, just like ice.Tip #1No Brakes!The article reads, “Your first impulse when you feel yourself slipping out of control–literally–is to apply your brakes and stop the vehicle.” You're not supposed to do that, even though you really want to, as it will make your slide worse. This can apply when we feel like we're sliding back or not making progress on our goals. It can be tempting to give up, to put on the brakes and say, “well, apparently I'm just bad at doing this new habit” and decide that we're not qualified to even try to make this positive change. To me, this black and white kind of thinking is a great way to interrupt any progress you were making and make your slide even worse. Practicing dialectical thinking in this situation is a good thing to try. Dialectical thinking allows us to hold two opposing thoughts in our heads at one time and recognize and accept that both can be true. “I overslept again! I should just give up on being a morning person” becomes, “It feels like I'm not making any progress on getting up earlier because I overslept again and I'm willing to keep trying”. This can help us be less rigid in our thinking and allow us to continue to look for alternative tools and strategies to help us reach our goals. Remember that cognitive flexibility from episode 21? Dialectical thinking is a great way to use those cognitive flexibility skills you have been working on developing.Okay, on to Tip #2Turn into the slideThis part of managing icy driving has always boggled my mind, but they're right! The article agrees and says, “This goes against your instincts, but to help when you are sliding, you actually want to turn in the direction of the slide.” When I saw this, it really resonated with me and it kind of goes along with the previous tip. When we're sliding back, changing our viewpoint from seeing it as a failure to seeing it as an opportunity to learn, can make a huge difference. Really lean into it, turn into that perceived “failure”. Embrace it as an opportunity to learn, an opportunity to find something that works better than what we've already been trying. Or, maybe it will just help us find the patience to accept ourselves, even when we're not making the progress we wish we were, with grace and love and compassion. The last lines of this section of the article are just so perfect for this: “Gently maneuver the wheel. Correcting your slide in one direction, will result in the car returning back in the opposite direction before it, ultimately, stabilizes. Expect this rocking back and forth motion and respond with care.” Let's do the same with ourselves and respond with care.Okay, next up, Tip #3Avoid oversteeringAgain, the article comes through with a tip that so perfectly applies to learning how to manage it when we slide back when making progress. It reads, “If you oversteer, you can put the car in a full spin.” I see oversteering as completely overhauling our systems when we feel like we're failing, sliding back, or not making the progress we want to see. There's actually no need to oversteer. Take some time to reflect on the progress you HAVE made and see what tools or strategies DO work for you. See how you can modify those, if needed. Make small, incremental changes instead of major ones. Work at slowly changing your thinking about your progress. I bet you there are wins in there that you're just not seeing. There's no need to throw away that planner if you miss a meeting or give up running just because you missed a couple runs in your 5k training plan. Look at your planner - what did work? How many meetings did you not miss? What strategies can you use to make your planner work better for you? Look at your 5k training plan - what days and times seem to be the easiest for you to go running? What can you do to prevent injury? Are you drinking enough water? When we feel like we're sliding, pausing and taking some time to think, reflect, troubleshoot, and find small wins you might be overlooking is much more effective than overhauling your whole system or oversteering your car.Okay, now for Tip #4Stay calmOh, Scott's Automotive and Service Centers, you know the key to my heart and to our thinking brains. Emotional regulation! The article states, “Staying calm is key. Panic will cause you to oversteer and can result in a more serious slide, spin or accident.” If you have listened to this podcast for a while, you'll have heard me say a million times that we can only fully access our executive function skills when we are calm. When we allow our emotions to take over, it's really, really difficult to think about what to do when we are challenged by something, when we find ourselves sliding back. Staying calm is the key to the resiliency we need to recover from these perceived setbacks. If you haven't yet discovered what strategies help regulate yourself when you're feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, frustrated, scared, or anxious, listen up! Sometimes it's as simple as taking some calming breaths. At BBS we coaches really love 5-finger breathing, where you trace your fingers up and down while breathing in and out. Another breathing strategy that lots of people find helpful is square breathing - you breathe in for four counts, hold for four counts, breathe out for four and then hold again for four and then repeat this cycle as long as you can. But you don't even have to get fancy like this - just taking some slow, controlled breaths can really make a difference. I've heard lots of people say that breathing is just not for them. I'd like to push back a little on that and say that breathing is actually for everyone - it's literally keeping you alive right now! Just give one of these breathing exercises a shot! You might be surprised at how helpful it can be.Practicing healthy, supportive self-talk is another tip for staying calm. When I'm out running and I'm struggling, I always tell myself “Hannah, you can do this”. If you listened to episode 1 about managing failure, you may remember me talking about this strategy. Speaking kindly to ourselves with supportive words during times of stress can really help regulate our emotions. So, whether you're sliding on ice or just sliding back from making progress, try motivating yourself with a little supportive self-talk.Mindfulness is another great strategy for managing our emotions. Learning how to pay attention to our bodies and how they're feeling, bringing our focus back to what we're doing, and noticing small things around us can all help with emotional regulation - and tricky winter driving! There are a ton of different approaches to mindfulness, including stopping to pay attention to something we normally just do without thinking or sitting for a 10-minute meditation session. However you approach mindfulness is up to you - research shows that it really and truly does positively impact our emotional regulation.In order for these strategies to be really effective when we need them, we have to practice them. If you listened to episode 26 with Dr. Alison Roy, you might remember me saying that I started practicing square breathing while I'm driving. Hopefully it'll come in handy this winter when I'm navigating some icy roads.Next up, Tip #5Prevent sliding by reducing your speedIf road conditions are poor, we should all be driving more slowly to begin with. The article explains ”If the roads are icy, or covered in snow, it is important to slow your vehicle. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration advises that you reduce your speed by 1/3 on wet roads and by 1/2 (or more) on snow-packed roads.” This is such great advice for changing habits, too. The process of building or breaking habits is not easy or fast. There are no quick fixes. There's no magic wand. Barreling into trying to make change with the expectation that you'll somehow, miraculously become perfect instantly is unreasonable and is sure to set you up for disappointment. We are human, We are not perfect. Slow down, take small steps, give yourself some grace and some time. Look in the rearview mirror and see what's worked for you and what hasn't. Strive for excellence, not perfection. And last, and certainly not least, Tip #6Call for an Auto Check-upScott's Automotive says “Another way to stay safe during inclement weather conditions is to ensure that your car is prepared for the weather.” This is true for our minds and bodies, as well. When we are healthy and taken care of, it is easier to manage sliding back. Prioritizing self-care is critical. Just as you make sure your cars' tires have enough tread and your brakes are not worn out, we need to make sure that we are eating well, sleeping well, and moving our bodies. Going to the doctor regularly and making sure you're doing what you can to stay healthy is critical for success, especially when you're challenged by tricky stuff. It is much easier to access the executive function skills we need to be resilient when our bodies are happy. Part of this last tip involves asking for help. I don't know about you, but there's not much I understand about fixing cars, so I need to ask the mechanic for help. In fact, as I write this, our car is in the shop for new brakes. If you need help with your executive function skills, ask for it! It can be scary to say I need help, but giving ourselves permission to do that can lead to growth far beyond anything we ever thought possible. Asking for help does not mean you are weak, or ignorant, or anything like that. It actually means you are smart and confident. I have had so many clients say to me, “I was so afraid to admit I needed help” or “I was afraid to share my struggles” but as soon as they did, they felt a great weight off their shoulders and were able to start moving towards finding solutions to their challenges. And, let me tell you, as much as I'm preaching this right now, I, too, find it very difficult to ask for help. But, I take a deep breath and do it, because I'm worth it. Well, there you go! If you live in the north, you've had a refresh on how to handle sliding on ice and if you live in the south, you've had a chance to be glad you don't live where it snows. And hopefully you've all learned some tips for handling sliding back while working towards your goals. Before I go, I wanted to share some advice that some of my fellow coaches shared on this topic. Denise McMahon shared that she uses backslides as an opportunity to have her clients consider questions like:Am I facing any new or unforeseen barriers?Have I really slid backward or am I expecting myself to be perfect?Do I need to tweak my tools and strategies to gain some momentum again?Am I shaming myself or creating negative stories that are preventing me from taking the next step?What's one small thing I can say yes to?Can I introduce novelty to respark my interest?And, Tina Conte shared a great quote from author, Robert Brault:...taking a step backwardafter taking a step forward is not a disaster, it's a cha-cha.”And that's our show for today.
