This Sunday, we step into one of the most intense chapters in the book of Acts.James is executed.Peter is imprisoned.Herod exalts himself like a god.And yet — Jesus is not threatened. He is reigning.Acts 12 smells like the battlefield. But what we discover is this: when you stand against Jesus, you lose — and when you belong to Jesus, you triumph, even through suffering.This chapter reminds us of two massive truths:• Nothing can stop Jesus' kingdom from advancing.• Gospel advancement doesn't come without significant cost.We will see both warning and hope. Judgment and rescue. Execution and deliverance. And above it all — a triumphant King.If you are exploring Christianity, or know those who are, this text lovingly but clearly presses a question onto your heart: What will you do with King Jesus?And for those who belong to Christ, this passage steadies us in a world that is increasingly uncomfortable with bold faith.⸻
Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike reflects on the two sacraments Jesus calls His church to keep—Baptism and the Lord's Supper. These are not empty rituals, but sacred moments where Christ is powerfully present to work and move among His people. Through water, bread, and cup, we encounter grace, renewal, and deeper union with Him. Come with faith, come expectant—He meets us in these holy acts.
In this episode, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose use the analogy of parenting instincts to recognize oncoming illness in their kids as a framework to approach a girl's body image struggles. While parents are usually pretty good at connecting symptoms to oncoming illness in their kids, it's not always as clear when body image issues surface in our girls. So this week the podcast is focusing on body image, and how that is often reflective of a deeper spiritual thing happening in our girls. Many times, girls hear negative messages about their bodies—that the body needs to be altered in order to fit in with the current notion of beauty. This can leave girls hating their bodies and measuring beauty through a lens that God never intended. How can we parent our daughters to embrace her body as a gift from God? It's important to let a girl enjoy beauty rather than shame her for wanting to feel pretty. For a Christian girl, the key to a healthy Biblical Worldview on body image is tied to her contentment in the Lord rather than her appearance. The AHG Ministry has a whole badge frontier designed to instill a healthy view of the body in a girl's journey. Raising Godly Girls also has the Raising Godly Girls Guide to Gender & Identity, which offers parents a great jumping off point to take these conversations into the home. Two Things to Remember: § It's Okay for a Girl to Want Beauty, Yes—Even as a Christian § Feeling Beautiful Isn't a Good Source for Contentment, so Address This Gently but Directly in Your Girl Scriptures Referenced in this Episode: · Genesis 1:31a Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.

This year, I'm taking a few things off the table when it comes to my running.First: I'm done calling runs “bad.”Hard? Sure. Uncomfortable? Absolutely.But “bad” doesn't actually tell us anything useful—and it usually creates more noise than clarity.Second: I'm not overreacting to one data point.One tough run. One off week. One moment of doubt.None of those define your training—or your potential.In this episode, I talk about why these two decisions matter, how they've changed the way I approach training, and why perspective—not perfection—is what actually carries you through long seasons and long races.If you've ever questioned your fitness because of one run… this one's for you.⭐️ GET THE FREE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP

Two Things You Must Do In Life - The Book Of Proverbs Part 30

On this Tuesday episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Natalie Ambrose and Melissa Bearden embark upon a journey to understand God's design for girls' bodies and how we can guide them Biblically in this self-view. From the Body Positivity Movement to AI modeling trends, Natalie and Melissa begin to unpack the nuances of these cultural messages and their effect on girls. Melissa offers a gentle reminder that Christ-followers do not obsess on lateral comparisons, since that leads to self-loathing and discontentment. Both hosts share their personal journeys with fashion trends and learning to embrace the bodies God gave them. Melissa's boldness to be present and live in the moment serves as an empowering challenge to many moms and mentors who might shy away from an activity if it means donning a swimsuit! Natalie shares about the value of self-talk and intentionally keeping that in a positive territory and how that serves as a direct example for her middle school aged daughter. This episode centers on two timeless truths—welcoming God's blessing from Genesis 1:31 and embracing that His design for our bodies is indeed "very good" and having the wisdom to reject a cultural fashion trend when it is rooted in deception. Natalie offers listeners a kind reminder that the 'very good' blessing is from a Creator who is infinitely good Himself. Two Things to Consider: Embrace the Embrace—if God the Masterful Artist has created a girl's body as 'very good' then she should embrace her body's unique and good design. Reject Trends Rooted in Deception—since the trend machine is designed to keep girls self-loathing and clamoring after the next thing, guide her to shift her thinking into a more contented mindset. Scriptures Referenced in this Episode: Genesis 1:31 Psalm 139:13-16 Proverbs 16:31 2 Corinthians 10:5 Genesis 3:6 Genesis 21:6 Judges 4 Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.

In this Season 3 episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose launch with a fun chat about letters they would write to themselves as girls and what they wished they knew about being a Christian girl growing up. The hosts zoom in on the idea of "fortifying" a girl's faith to go the long haul—"parenting forward" to teach lessons today that will resonate far into the future and into eternity. The Raising Godly Girls Minute in this episode serves as a timeless reminder that Scripture serves as a "nightlight" so guide girls when days seem dark. Rachael shares the fun opportunity to "start something new" through AHG Patch Programs and resources—for both non-members and AHG Members alike. She also shares a chance for listeners to grab the AHG Thinline ESV Bible as a way to launch girls into a year of reading God's Word. Two Things to Remember: Parenting-Forward is not a Formula—so open your hands in prayer, submit your will and your understanding to God, and do your best to steward this parenting journey daily in the process. You can take joy in knowing that God will always be found faithful. Since that is His character and even in the hard seasons, He will always pursue her.

The two things that can help you break the negativity
Happy New Year to all! In this opening episode, Foundations: The Two Things You Need in Order to Grow, we begin the year by doing something countercultural: slowing down. Instead of rushing into resolutions and forced change, we look to winter — and the natural rhythms of the seasons — as an honest model for how growth actually works. Drawing from the agricultural calendar, psychology, and Christian wisdom, this episode explores why January is not a time for productivity or reinvention, but for rest, stillness, and preparation. We talk about dormancy, readiness, and the unseen work that happens beneath the surface before anything grows. You'll hear why insight alone doesn't transform us, how modern mental health culture often pushes urgency over wisdom, and why true change requires both grace and self-discipline. This episode sets the foundation for a year-long journey rooted in reality, humanity, and timing — beginning not with a push, but with a breath.Follow me on Instagram: @vanessathetherapistSend me an email: contact@vanessabentley.coAnd don't forget...

I'm sitting here in front of two of my favorite items that I don't get to use often enough. More on that in emails. But the thing I think is important and useful for you today is two things that you need to master. Really really really just two things you need to master. They're big things but you do need to master them. And one of those two things is you have to learn to master self. Self is the physical self. Paying attention, having awareness, having understanding of what to do, when to do it, and how to solve it. Really, self is learning a lot about what your human form, your body, is capable of or not capable of and what you can do about it. That's a big part of self. That's physical. Mental. How do you think? Are you a more positive thinker? Are you a more negative thinker? That's huge. It's really huge. Are you too positive? I call it happy happying. You can't happy your way into everything being fine, but you can be more optimistic. Three: physical, mental, emotional. What is your emotional? Emotional is how you respond, how you react, and how you adapt. Respond, react, and adapt. And emotional is going to tie into the physical and it's going to tie into the mental. And the emotional is the thing that we are taught really the least about. I mean, think about it. Therapy is one of the biggest industries these days. People on medication for their emotional state is one of the biggest industries in pharmaceuticals at least here in the United States. And that's a huge issue. We have to learn how to deal with our emotions if we're going to take another step forward. So that's physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. We have to have our own spiritual ideas and bent no matter where you are in your journey. I've had every type of spiritual, high level spiritual person that I have worked with to help them grow or expand their offering. And one of them I helped build a community from a few hundred to 500,000. So physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. And that person was very spiritual. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relational. How do you relate? Do you communicate or do you keep everything inside, stored up and just a mess? Because relational is what you do to others, for others in your mind, and when you speak and when you write and when you interact with social media. So you've got physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relational, and then you've got financial. I tend to focus on the financial because I can have a giant impact there when I work with people. But your financial is a result of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relational. Your financial is always a result of those things working into an alignment to an end result. Some people will say, "Oh, it's about vibration." Some people will say it's about whatever. So those are the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relational, financial. Six areas. And that's mastery. Now, there's one other piece of mastery that's essential that I talk about and teach about and share about and preach about, which is energy. And I'm not talking about the energy out here. And I'm not talking about frequency. I'm talking about the energy you have inside here that radiates outside here that somebody can feel, that you can feel around somebody else. Those two things, if you match yourself and energy, will radically shift your entire way of being. I thought that would be useful for you today. And one of the things to work on is to pay attention to the areas that you're having difficulty with.

Tis the season, or so it seems, to reflect on all I wish I'd done differently. While these breakups and ruptures I speak of are from a few years back, the things I wish I'd done around them to better integrate the pain and learn from my own mistakes, still (very much) ring true in life. First and foremost, I wish I hadn't mainlined so much self help content, such that I drowned out my own lived experience from the loss. Second, I wish I'd had more intimate and difficult conversations with those that I hurt, those I faced conflict with, and those that I was losing.Connect with me on Substack: https://claraartschwager.substack.com/Work with me PrivatelyConnect on InstagramWebsitePodcast Production by James Jorge
