Unburdened for Mission Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30[Jesus said,] “But to what shall I compare this generation? They are like children in the market places, calling, ‘We played he flute for you and you would not dance. We wailed and you did not mourn.' For John came neither eating nor drinking and they said, ‘He has a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard. A friend of tax collectors and sinners.' Yet, wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”At that time, Jesus said, “I thank you Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and you have revealed them to children, for such was your gracious will. All things, in heaven and on earth, have been handed over to me by my Father. For no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”“Come to me all you who are weary and carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Can you think of a time recently when a burden was lifted for you? Or when your load was lightened in some way – literally or figuratively? Maybe it was a worldly, practical kind of lifting… or maybe it was a deeper, more spiritual sort of unloading you needed…I'm getting ready to leave for the summer trip with the High School Youth tomorrow morning. We're heading to Ohio, stopping by Capital University for a tour of my favorite Lutheran college campus, we'll spend a couple of days working, learning, and unplugging on a farm, north of there, then we'll have a day at Cedar Point before coming home. Pastor Cogan did the initial, heavy-lifting of setting the itinerary, renting the van, reserving the rooms, and what-not before taking off for his paternity leave. And I've been grateful for that as the trip has gotten closer.Dianne Kaucher has agreed to be here on Wednesday to make sure things are ready when the kids show up for our Summer Reading Program, since I can't be here. And on Friday, Donna Kuffner said she'd take care of getting the snacks for that day, knowing I had a lot on my plate getting ready to be gone. Many of you've heard that our annual Camp @ Church program canceled on us and I've been grateful for those of you who've offered to step up and help me make that program happen, anyway.And I'm grateful for every e-mail and decision Lance Oxley deals with where the building project is concerned, and every time I see Kent Kuffner mowing the labyrinth, or Steve Beebe digging a ditch, or Gayle gathering the troops for our 25th Anniversary festival, or any number of you cleaning the building. The list goes on. You get the idea.It's nice, isn't it, when something gets removed from your litany of things to do? It's a gift to move something from your full plate onto someone else's. It's a relief to be unburdened, to have someone help carry the weight of a task at hand or to remove a worry from you list. Which is what I hear in Jesus' words from this morning's Gospel. And, he's talking about more, of course, than what's on our everyday lists of things to do.The passage seems disconnected, you might think, with all that talk about children in the marketplaces who play the flute but no one dances, or who wail but no one mourns. And when he talks about John the Baptist who was thought to be possessed by demons, because he didn't eat and drink like so many others. But that when Jesus did the opposite – ate and drank like the rest of the world, with tax collectors and sinner, even – they called him a glutton and a drunk.Jesus is comparing the people of his generation to little children, playing games with their faith. People didn't like John because he didn't eat and drink like the rest of them. And they didn't like Jesus because he did. In other words, the people of his time were fickle and played around with notions of what God was, with who the Messiah might be, with what salvation was supposed to look like or who heaven could include.And there's nothing new under the sun, sadly. Christians and people of faith do the same, still. We add up sins – our own and those of others. We judge – ourselves and one another. We compare. We choose sides. We pick winners and we declare losers. We can be a fickle, faithless, lot of God's children.And just like even Jesus experienced, we realize, too often, that we don't live up to the world's standards and expectations. And we may have a hard time living up to the unrealistic expectations we've laid out for ourselves, a lot of the time, too.So, heavier than anything on our “To Do Lists,” we bear these expectations like yokes – those heavy wooden bars laid across the shoulders of oxen and asses and other beasts of burden who plowed the fields in the days of Jesus. And we bear them, not just over our shoulders or across our backs, but in our hearts and in our minds and in every part of our lives:Yokes of breaking or broken relationships…Burdens of guilt or shame or sin…Yokes of addiction…Burdens of illness and disease…Yokes of injustice, burdens of inadequacy, yokes of fear and worry…And this way of living is tedious and overbearing. It's tiresome and overwhelming. It's impossible, really. And it's enough to wear a person out, to wipe out a person's spirit, to dry up a person's soul.And what we long for – whether we know it or not, or whether we're slow to admit it – is for someone to call or stop by and to say, “Hey, let me get that for you?” “Why are you trying to do my job?” “I told you I would help, so why aren't you letting me?” And along comes this Jesus.“Come to me, all you who are weary and carrying heavy burdens. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”Jesus knew we would try too hard, for too long, for too many of the things that would continue to leave us hungry and thirsty and without answers, without comfort, without satisfaction and without any kind of meaning or peace in this life. Most of all, Jesus understood how tiring and weary and burdensome it could be for us to try to save us from ourselves, so he promises to do that for us. Jesus calls us to rest in the arms of God's grace and to quit trying to win in the eyes of the world. And he shows us we can do that best when we know and believe and trust that we've already been won by the love of God, the Lord of heaven and earth.But that's not all. It doesn't end there.Because Pastor Cogan did so much of the planning for the High School trip… Because Donna picked up those snacks… Because Dianne will be here Wednesday… Because so many of you are committed to this new Camp @ Church mission… my plans, my agenda, my To-Do List? – it didn't go away – it just changed, for the better.I could finish a sermon, sooner than expected this week. I could take communion to someone at home. I could prepare devotions for the Youth Trip. I could begin planning new stuff for Camp. And I even found time for a break. And finished a book, too. I'm not gonna lie.When someone lifts a burden for or from you, it frees you to do something else. Even if it's just a matter of hours in your day, you're all of a sudden freed up to accomplish something else in its place. And the freedom we have through God's forgiveness in Jesus Christ is no different.Jesus calls us to trust that the burden of our sin and shame is lifted, as far as our Creator is concerned, so that we'll be free to get about the business of living differently as a result. We are unburdened. We are un-yoked. We are un-tethered from whatever weighed us down. And we are let loose on the world – set free – changed by God's grace – and allowed to transform the world with acts of mercy, generosity, grace, gratitude, and the love of God, in return.Amen

There is a version of you that exists right before sleep. Not the version that worry built. Not the version that duty shaped. Not the version that performance created. Just you. Quiet. Still. Unburdened. If you can find that version tonight, you will find something worth keeping. Something that has been waiting patiently underneath all the doing, all the producing, all the constant motion. It's been there the whole time. You just forgot to look. I want to talk about something that sounds simple but is actually one of the hardest things in the world. Pausing. Not the kind of pause where you stop moving but your mind keeps racing. Not the kind where you sit down but your body stays braced, ready to spring back into action at the first notification.DISCLAIMER

Sarah and Rebecca discuss trauma culture, healing, political consciousness, and building the capacity to stay present with life's messiness. This week, we're sharing a conversation originally recorded in 2024 for The Unburdened Leader with my friend and colleague, Rebecca Ching. Truthfully, this felt less like an interview and more like one of those conversations you have with someone who speaks the same language you do.  We talk about what I call ordinary trauma—the relational wounds that often go unnoticed because they're so common—and why reclaiming our agency is essential to healing. We also dive into the dangers of quick-fix solutions, the importance of mindfulness, and what it means to lead from values rather than fear. In this episode: What "ordinary trauma" is and why it often goes unrecognized The relationship between agency, personal power, and healing Why the pursuit of being "okay" may be the wrong goal The dangers of trauma oversimplification and quick-fix culture How leadership, politics, values, and healing are deeply interconnected Have you ever wondered whether healing is supposed to feel easier by now?

In New Book, Ph.D. Psychologist Asks How Tightly We Should Hold Any Belief—Whether Religious, Spiritual, or Personal—and Finds the Answer Is Less Than You Think What if the issue isn't what we believe, but how tightly we hold our beliefs? At a time when so many people are questioning inherited frameworks, exploring mindfulness or psychedelics, and looking for meaning outside rigid institutions, quantitative psychologist Joshua Pritikin, Ph.D., offers a thought-provoking perspective: that growth and insight may depend less on finding the “right” beliefs than on learning to relate to belief itself with more openness and flexibility. His new book Religion Unburdened by Belief: The Way of Open Inquiry explores how tightly held beliefs can shape identity, emotional reactions, and even our sense of reality — and how loosening that grip can create space for greater clarity, resilience, and personal transformation. Drawing from psychology, spirituality, and Internal Family Systems, he offers a framework for examining beliefs without discarding the search for meaning. Other points he can speak to include: 3 ways to adjust your beliefs for greater clarity, growth, and insight 5 rules for exploring consciousness safely Why we want AI to be conscious (and what it says about us) Tired of asking “what's true?” Stop fact-checking and do this instead. If this is of interest, I'd be glad to connect you with Joshua for an interview tailored to your audience. WHAT IF OUR PROBLEM ISN'T WHAT WE BELIEVE, BUT HOW FIRMLY WE BELIEVE IT? A New Book Asks How Tightly We Should Hold Any Belief—Whether Religious, Spiritual, or Personal—and Finds the Answer Is Less Than You Think Religion Unburdened by Belief: The Way of Open Inquiry, by Joshua Pritikin, Ph.D., Praised by Kirkus Reviews as “counterintuitive yet compelling” Releases June 15, 2026 There's increasing recognition that the beliefs we hold—about ourselves, what we're striving for, and even reality—may be quietly limiting how we think, feel, and grow. But while much has been said about what to believe or disbelieve, far less attention has been paid to a more fundamental question: how tightly should we hold any belief at all? Pritikin argues that a minimal set of beliefs is still needed—but only those that make exploration possible. In his new book Religion Unburdened by Belief: The Way of Open Inquiry, quantitative psychologist Joshua Pritikin, Ph.D., offers a provocative framework for doing exactly that. Drawing from psychology, philosophy, and the study of consciousness, Pritikin challenges a deeply ingrained assumption: that personal growth, insight, and meaning come from finding and holding onto the “right” ideas. Instead, he argues, transformation comes not from adopting the right beliefs, but from loosening our attachment to belief itself—and learning to navigate experience with disciplined, open inquiry. The result is a shift not just in what we think, but in how we relate to our thoughts, emotions, and sense of self. Beliefs held too tightly can narrow perception, reinforce identity, and amplify emotional reactions. But when approached with flexibility, they can be examined, tested, and even strategically adjusted—opening the door to new ways of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world. The book introduces a structured yet accessible method for exploring this idea in practice. Borrowing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Pritikin shows how different “parts” of the mind hold different beliefs—often as a way to protect us. By understanding and working with these parts, readers can begin to shift beliefs in a way that feels safe, intentional, and sustainable.

"“Unburdened: Living Free from Worry”"Matthew 6:25-34New International VersionDo Not Worry25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Evil, corrupt or stupid? Maybe all three?

Pastor Micah delivers his final Easter message by looking at Jesus as the last scapegoat, breaking the cycle of redemptive violence that has become so normalized throughout human history.

Awaken's Director of Spiritual Formation, Cathy Solomon, delivers a refreshing exploration of the ways comfort has been used within white evangelical religious spaces as a means of avoidance. What does it look like to enter into discomfort for the sake of spiritual growth and connectedness to ourselves and our neighbors?

Marketing leader and Brain Change at Work (www.brainchangeatwork.com) Co-Founder Rajiv Kapoor shares the current reality where most leaders are optimizing their strategies, but very few are optimizing their minds. The real performance gap in most organizations isn't process, it's awareness. "What's inside of us comes outside. What really makes a difference is how people show up, how they connect, and how much clarity and presence they bring to their work." Having taught hundreds of team members at several companies including Mastercard and F5, Rajiv has shared a new understanding that meditation practice is about learning to respond rather than to react. Silence can be a superpower, not a weakness. At the end of the day, exceptional leaders don't need all the answers. They just need to stay committed to creating fearless environments where people can show up and do their best work.

Pastor Micah unpacks the consequences of American Exceptionalism and Colonialism embedded within the Christian church. What does it look like to unearth, address, and let go of colonialism within our religious context?

In this deeply moving conversation, Yolanda welcomes Michelle Madrid — author, speaker, and midlife coach for women — to Girl, Take the Lead!.As a former foster child in the UK and an international adoptee, Michelle has spent a lifetime opening pathways toward her truest sense of identity and purpose. Today, she supports women navigating what she calls midlife grief — the quiet, often hidden grief that appears as life shifts: children leaving home, changing bodies, evolving relationships, and the question many women ask in midlife:Who am I now?Michelle believes midlife grief isn't something to avoid or suppress. Instead, she describes it as:“Love colliding with change.”In this conversation, Yolanda and Michelle explore grief as a messenger — one that can guide us toward healing, identity, and reclaiming our voice.Michelle also shares the inspiration behind her powerful framework UNBOX, a process she created to help women unpack suppressed emotions and reconnect with their aliveness as they step into the next version of who they're here to be.This episode is both deeply personal and universally relatable — touching on adoptee identity, people-pleasing, trauma responses, and the courage it takes to live from our authentic voice.And it leaves us with a beautiful reminder:“The light around us is great… but the light within us is greater.”Timestamps00:00 – Welcome & Michelle's work supporting midlife women through hidden grief02:24 – Yolanda reflects on grief and joy as her daughter prepares to marry05:27 – Michelle's definition of midlife grief: when love collides with change09:18 – The hidden grief many adoptees carry and why emotions were often suppressed20:19 – Limiting beliefs and the moment Michelle realized the baggage of others was never hers to carry31:17 – From ache to action: the small steps that begin healing36:04 – A powerful affirmation: “The light around us is great, but the light within us is greater.”More About MichelleMichelle Madrid is an author, speaker, and midlife coach for women.

Pastor Micah discusses yet another major belief in modern western christianity, the rapture. He unpacks what it is, where it's found in scripture (or not found), and how it gained such a significant following. By looking at the real world implications of such a belief, Micah encourages us to let go of escapism and be reminded of partnering with God on this earth here and now.

Pastor Jenna and Micah are co-teaching for the first time in Awaken's history on the impact of purity culture in the evangelical landscape. They unpack the shame and guilt that came with viewing our bodies as sinful first, while inviting us to consider what it would look like to let go of the binaries that exist within that framework.

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi – ZMM – 2/22/26 – Known by many different names throughout the Buddhist world—Avalokitesvara, Kwan Yin, Kannon—they are the hearer of the cries of the world. This being embodies that compelling ability to relieve all suffering and lead beings to complete, perfect enlightenment. Unburdened, we are thereby able to free others and ourselves from suffering. Learning to not create these states in the first place, is the hard work of practice. Perfection is a given, but we still need to realize it ourselves. The third talk on metta, lovingkindness, given by Shugen Roshi during the February sesshin.

Awaken begins a new lenten series called "unburdened" that explores concepts in faith that have been given to us that we are encouraged to unpack and consider releasing from our experience of Christianity. Pastor Micah kicks off the series by discussing how we might let go of a version of evangelism that places so much emphasis on certainty, the after life, and our personal responsibility for another's salvation. 

A sacred summons to inner vigilance, guarding the heart's flame from heaviness and distraction

In this episode of the Adoption Roadmap podcast, Michelle Madrid discusses the complexities of adoption, focusing on identity, the significance of names, and the emotional challenges faced by adoptees. She emphasizes the importance of openness in conversations about adoption, the pain points that adoptees experience, and the need for adoptive parents to create a safe space for their children to explore their identities. The discussion also touches on the concept of ambiguous loss and the importance of recognizing and addressing the grief that comes with adoption. In this conversation, the speakers explore the complexities of adoption, including the emotional challenges faced by adoptees, the importance of openness in adoptive families, and the healing journey that comes with understanding one's identity. They discuss the intersections of adoption-related grief and other family traumas, the significance of using metaphors like quilts to describe family dynamics, and the resources available for both adoptees and adoptive parents.

It would be funny if it wasn't so damn serious, but there is a less-than-zero chance that Kamala Harris could be the President of the United States of America at literally any minute, and perhaps for four full years. The clown show and soft coup currently happening inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is befitting for one of the worst presidential administrations in American political history.Kamala Harris is staggeringly unqualified to be the president, but the mainstream media is doing what they do best by rewriting history by erasing her as Biden's Border Czar, to borrow a term from the Marxist, Barack Obama, a man who understands that she has no path to the White House. It is also worth mentioning that she has had a 92% turnover rate inside her office, making it is clear that there are already major issues and everyone knows who is to blame.—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilyActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsAnarchapulco: https://anarchapulco.com/ | Promo Code: MACROC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROGround Luxe Grounding Mats: https://groundluxe.com/MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —

Early Christian reflection centers on the conviction that “in Christ” every thing is being held together. Rooted in God's love and articulated in texts like Ephesians, we get a bird's-eye-view of God, the world, Jesus, the church, the meaning of salvation, and what it means to be genuinely human. And this vision affirms that our essential nature is found not in religious markers or achievements but in faith actively expressed through love, thereby displaying to the world what fully human life was always meant to be.POEM GEORGE READ IN OUR GATHERING A Lessening I do not plan to start anew in January that is for spring this is the night in the dead of winter where I pare back excessto reach the bones of my life so when I am rèborn I am reborn as only my most essential nature.David Gate, A Rebellion of Care

Part Two is here — and it's the episode your best life has been waiting for. In Part One, we pulled back the curtain on the three major culprits of mental and emotional clutter: ✔ Unmanaged thinking ✔ Indulgent emotions ✔ Unspoken expectations …and we named the hidden weight they add to a life that's already extraordinary underneath the noise. In Part Two, we pick up exactly where we left off — and we go deeper. This episode teaches you how to subtract the unnecessary hard, close your energy leaks, clean up emotional loops, dissolve decision debt, and step into the version of yourself who leads life with clarity, confidence, and ease. You'll learn: • The Life Profitability Formula • How to identify and remove energy leaks • The manual you've been giving others without consent • Why overwhelm isn't a feeling — it's a fog of unmade decisions • How to use boundaries, requests, and agreements to clean up your relationships • Why ease isn't laziness — it's identity • The 7-Day Subtraction Challenge • Real self-leadership scripts for everyday life If Part One opened your eyes… Part Two is going to open your entire life.

In this message from LifeChurchNV, we explore one of the most exhausting spiritual traps: living as if everything depends on our performance. When life runs on achievement, comparison, pride, or shame, the soul eventually collapses under the weight. But Jesus offers a radically different foundation — mercy.

The countdown to BravoCon has finally begun. The day is upon us and with a few past feuds to his name, it is time for Mr. Jeff Lewis to step front and center and “Squash That Beef” with a bunch of past names we know all too well. In other news, Scheana Shay claps back at many recent rumors, and nastiness, talks The Valley/ Lala and, last but not least, seems to blame Brandi Glanville for a whole lotta stuff. Still. Dorit Kemsley is unburdened but from what exactly. Vanderpump 2.0 prepares to premiere at BravoCon but all is not as it seems. Finally, Jax Taylor plans his next move and RHOBH next season tea is spilled as the premiere date of December 4th rapidly approaches.  Patrik and Pol stop by to help us break it all down. @polatteu @patriksimpson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is the second in our occasional series on important, controversial, or unusually relevant conservative texts from the recent past. Here we take up Charles Murray's 2012 book, Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010. With its focus on the ascendence of a new "cognitive elite," cultural divides, and the pathologies afflicting working and lower class whites, the book might seem prophetic of the Age of Trump — but the reality is more complicated. Murray's oversights, it turns out, are as interesting as his insights. We walk listeners through Murray's account of how America "came apart," take the test he provides to see how thick our class/cultural bubbles are, then rip into the moralizing prescriptions with which he concludes the book. Along the way we discuss Murray as an emblematic success story of the right-wing welfare state and intellectual pipeline, revisit his obsession with race and IQ, and more!Sources:Charles Murray, Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010 (2012)— Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, 800 B.C. to 1950 (2003)— Losing Ground: American Social Policy, 1950-1980 (1984)Jason DeParle, "Daring Research or 'Social Science Pornography'?

What's weighing down your joy?In Philippians 3, Paul invites us to a joy deeper than fleeting happiness, one that's rooted in releasing burdens never meant for us to carry.In this message, Pastor Nick Tallo continues our Joy Reclaimed series with “Joy in the Release.” From the image of a backpacking trip to the power of surrender, we discover that joy blossoms when we let go of the weight of performance, fame, and our past. Paul, writing from a prison cell, urges us to “rejoice in the Lord” (Philippians 3:1). This isn't about ignoring life's challenges—it's about finding a settled confidence in Christ that transcends every circumstance.Key Takeaways:Release Performance-Based Living – Paul warns against putting confidence in human effort, reminding us that salvation is by grace through faith, not works (Ephesians 2:8-9). True joy comes when we stop striving to earn God's love and rest in what He's already done.Release Past Achievements and Failures – Paul considers his past accomplishments “loss” compared to knowing Christ (Philippians 3:8). Whether it's victories or regrets, clinging to the past weighs us down. Joy comes when we press forward into what lies ahead.Embrace God's Purpose – Joy is found in living out God's grace and purpose—making Him known in every facet of life (Philippians 3:14). When we release our own plans and embrace His, we step into the freedom of true joy.If you've been carrying the weight of performance, control, or comparison, this message is a call to let go. Because until you release what doesn't last, you'll never experience the joy that does.Scripture: Philippians 3Series: Joy Reclaimed (Week 3 – “Joy in the Release”)Speaker: Pastor Nick2Rivers Church#JoyReclaimed #Philippians3 #2RiversChurch #JoyInChrist #FaithOverPerformance

How we care for ourselves is inextricably connected to how we lead.In a culture where we moralize health and sell wellness as a symbol of worth, where we're obsessed with productivity and optimization, our relationships with food and our bodies go beyond personal struggles.They shape how we lead, how we show up for others, and how we define success. When leaders model extreme routines, restrictive regimens, or performance-based wellness, they may unintentionally perpetuate shame and comparison–even if they intend to inspire or be helpful.This isn't a dismissal of health. Caring for our bodies, feeding ourselves well, and seeking movement that feels good and helps our bodies be strong are powerful acts of self-respect. But when an obsession with performance and purity–whether through hustle culture or “clean” living–erodes our self-trust and amplifies our inner critics, it becomes a leadership issue.Today's guest is an eating disorder specialist who understands how shame, perfectionism, and chronic striving get tangled up in how we feed and care for ourselves, and how we show up in the world. Unburdening our relationship with food and body isn't just about health; it's a powerful leadership move.As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Jeanne Catanzaro has specialized in treating eating issues and trauma for close to 30 years. She trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) before discovering the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. Dr. Catanzaro served as the director of a day treatment program for eating disorders for two years and is currently the Vice President of the Internal Family Systems Institute. She is the author of the book, Unburdened Eating: Healing Your Relationships with Food and Your Body Using an Internal Family Systems Approach.Listen to the full episode to hear:Why unburdening our relationship with food and body is a continual process, not a three-step planHow to approach your motivations for how you eat and exercise with curiosity and compassionHow diet culture isn't just about weight, but reflects wider cultural and systemic beliefs about bodies, health, beauty, and worthHow value judgments about how we and others eat protect us from vulnerability and reinforce hierarchiesWhy it's impossible to fixate on your own body without your self-judgment rubbing off onto othersCommon wellness traps that can feed our inner managers and protectors at the expense of our core self-knowledgeLearn more about Dr. Jeanne Catanzaro:WebsiteUnburdened Eating: Healing Your Relationships with Food and Your Body Using an Internal Family Systems ApproachLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Health Food Junkies Orthorexia Nervosa: Overcoming the Obsession with Healthful Eating, Steven Bratman, David KnightHealth At Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, Lindo BaconHealth at Every Size® (HAES®) Principles – ASDAHSelf-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself, Dr. Kristin NeffJessica WilsonSonya Renee TaylorSabrina StringsDa'Shaun HarrisonJessica KnurickEvelyn TriboleWhy Can't Americans Sleep? - Jennifer Senior, The AtlanticOriginal Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, Jake Tapper, Alex ThompsonCeleste, Pete KuzmaLincoln's DilemmaThe Great British Baking ShowThe Breakfast ClubThe Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star

Dorit Kemsley has announced that she is writing a book, “Unburdened”, where she plans to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth but what is really the truth behind Dorit's upcoming memoir? Very reliable sources confirm that Scheana Shay is a “done deal” to join the cast of The Valley for Season 3. Kristen Doute has issued a warning to Scheana about joining the cast, has revealed her true feelings about Brock and has a few things to say about Scheana's now NYC Best Selling Book.
