Midlife…Maybe you've noticed it too.You still care deeply about your calling. You still want to make an impact. You still have ideas, responsibilities and people you love.But the pace you once kept doesn't fit quite the same anymore.Your energy has changed. Your capacity may have changed. Your roles are changing.And somewhere in the middle of it all, you may be asking, “What is this season for?”We've been talking a lot around here about a theology of time, how what we believe about God and time shapes what we do with our days. Today's conversation with Claire Davis of The Midlife Mentors adds another layer:The God who created time also created you. Your body isn't an inconvenience to your calling. Your limitations aren't something you have to outsmart. And a change in season doesn't necessarily mean you're becoming less useful.It may be an invitation to become more discerning about what you're carrying into the next one.Ready to Start Redeeming Your Time?If this conversation has you realizing it's time for a different rhythm, you don't need another productivity system. You need a place to start.I've put together the free REDEEM Her Time Starter Kit to help you begin asking the question that changes everything: “Lord, what is it time for?”Inside, you'll get the foundational tools to start giving what matters a home in your actual week, while leaving room for your capacity, your season, and real life.When you grab the Starter Kit, you'll also join me here on REDEEM Her Time, where we'll keep looking to the Author of Time for what it means to faithfully steward what He's entrusted to us.What If Midlife Isn't a Decline?Claire knows something about reaching the point where striving stops working. After years of putting so much of her identity and meaning into her career, work and brand, she experienced burnout and eventually found herself at the end of herself.And that's where God met her.What followed reshaped how she understood who she was and what her life was for.That's especially significant in midlife because so much is already changing. Children may be leaving home. Parents may need more care. Hormones change. And suddenly the roles that have answered “Who am I?” for decades don't answer quite as easily anymore.Claire describes midlife as an opportunity to get curious rather than assume we're in decline.What still matters? What have we been carrying because someone else told us success was supposed to look that way? And what might God be asking us to lay down so we have the capacity to hear what He's inviting us into next?As Claire put it:“It's not about adding. It's about subtracting. It's about taking things out and living more in our natural rhythms.”That sounds a lot like stewardship to me.Healthy Ambition Requires a Different RhythmI especially wanted to ask Claire about healthy ambition because the women in this community aren't looking for permission to stop caring.We want our lives to matter. We want to build, serve, love our families and use what God has entrusted to us well.The real question is what's driving our ambition, not whether we should have it.Unhealthy ambition can look a lot like stress, striving, and not-enoughness. And we can make our striving sound very spiritual.“I'm doing this for God.” “I'm serving people.” “This opportunity could make such an impact.”All of those things may be true. And we can still outrun our capacity.Claire reminded us that the body we're living in is also part of what God has entrusted to us. Sleep matters. Movement matters. Creating space to be with God instead of filling every available minute, even with good things, matters.And sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is remove something that no longer belongs, not squeeze another healthy habit into an already-full schedule.Faithful stewardship means discerning what God has entrusted to us and letting that determine our yeses, not doing less simply for the sake of doing less.So What Is It Time for Now?Toward the end of our conversation, Claire offered a simple place to begin.Take 10 minutes a day. Grab a journal. And get curious with God.Who does God say I am? What used to bring me joy? What might He be calling me toward now?You don't need to figure out the entire second half of your life in one sitting. You simply need enough space to begin listening.Because maybe this season isn't asking you to become more efficient at carrying everything you've always carried. Maybe it's asking you to discern what belongs now.So before you move on to the next thing, sit with this week's stewardship question: “What am I still carrying because it fit a previous season, but may not belong in the one God has me in now?”Don't rush to fix it. Get curious. Bring it before God. And then ask the question we've been practicing together: “Lord, what is it time for?”I'd love to hear what comes up for you in the comments.Ready to Let That Answer Shape Your Actual Week?Recognizing that your season has changed is one thing. Letting it change the way you live Monday through Sunday is another.Inside the Stewardship Circle, you'll start with the Faithful Week Framework™ to discern what God has entrusted to you in this season, decide what deserves your yes, and give those priorities a realistic home in your week, with room for your actual capacity and real life.Because great information can help us see differently. But transformation comes as we begin living differently.And change takes time.

Stuck in an unhealthy church and not sure what to do next? When you're facing spiritual abuse and toxic church leadership, when sin keeps getting covered instead of confessed, you really only have four options. Comply. Conform. Confront. Or cut ties.In this episode of Shepherd's Heart, Stewart and Alycia White walk through all four biblically, so you can identify spiritual abuse for what it is and discern which door God is actually asking you to walk through right now. Every one of the four costs you something. None of them should be driven by fear, and none of them should be driven by anger either.We look at what compliance looks like right before it quietly turns into participation. We look at how good people conform to a toxic system without ever meaning to. And we look at what biblical confrontation actually requires before you ever get to the question of leaving a toxic church.Hear this clearly: Walking away from an abusive church is not walking away from Jesus. Sometimes it's the most faithful step toward Him you can take.This isn't cynicism, and it isn't an exit ramp from faith. We love the Bride of Christ. That's exactly why we take it this seriously.SCRIPTURES REFERENCEDActs 5:29 | Ephesians 5:11 | Romans 12:2 | Galatians 2:11-13 | Matthew 18:15-17 | 1 Timothy 5:19-20 | 1 Peter 3:17 | Romans 12:18 | Romans 16:17 | 1 Corinthians 5 | 2 Corinthians 7 | 2 Timothy 3 | James 1:5 | Ezekiel 34 | John 10CHAPTERS00:00 Spiritual Abuse in the Church: The Only Four Options You Have00:30 How to Identify Spiritual Abuse When Something Just Isn't Right01:16 Church Hurt and Biblical Discernment: Why We Do This Show01:58 Comply, Conform, Confront, or Cut Ties02:20 Option 1: Comply (Going Along Without Agreeing)03:43 When Compliance Becomes Participation in Sin | Acts 5:2904:49 Option 2: Conform (When You Adopt the Dysfunction)06:34 Stop Confusing Talent With Anointing08:20 Are You Defending What Once Broke Your Heart? | Romans 12:208:53 Option 3: Confront (Naming Sin in Church Leadership)10:07 Matthew 18:15-17: The Biblical Process for Confronting Sin11:23 Important Exception: Abuse, Assault, and Reporting It11:55 How "Two or Three Witnesses" Gets Weaponized | 1 Timothy 514:28 Confrontation Is Right Even When It Goes Badly18:42 Option 4: Cut Ties (When Leaving a Toxic Church Is Biblical)20:07 Is Leaving a Church Unbiblical?

Are We Using AI Wrong? And Is Social Media Rewarding Unhealthy Behaviour? AI is becoming a bigger part of how we work, create, build businesses, and communicate—but are we actually using it the right way? In this episode of The Mitchell Report Unleashed Podcast, host Rory Mitchell sits down with Justine Pogroske for an honest conversation about the growing role of artificial intelligence, creativity, business, and social media. We explore why some creators and businesses are still afraid of AI, how technology can be used as a tool rather than a replacement for human creativity, and why authenticity still matters in an increasingly digital world. But the conversation goes even deeper. Is social media rewarding unhealthy behaviour?Are we becoming too focused on likes, followers, attention, outrage, and instant validation? What happens when platforms reward content that generates the most reactions rather than content that provides the most value? Rory and Justine break down the importance of conviction over attention, building trust, staying authentic, and creating work that actually means something beyond the algorithm.In this episode, we discuss: Are we using AI the wrong way? Why are creators and businesses afraid of AI? Can AI and human creativity work together? Is social media rewarding unhealthy behaviour? Why do likes and followers have so much influence? Are outrage and controversy being rewarded online?How can creators build trust instead of chasing attention? Why authenticity matters more than ever: AI, business, creativity, and the future of content creation. Choosing conviction over validation

You know the conversation isn't going anywhere within the first ten minutes — and you keep having it anyway. Or, you may have found yourself not speaking up and going further into denial. This episode looks at what actually happens when you stop talking because he can't hear you: you don't just lose the conversation, you lose yourself in it. We break down why long, winding, unresolved conversations feel so hard to walk away from, the addictive pull underneath them, and what to do instead.    What You'll Learn Why you keep having the same unresolved conversation over and over, even when you know how it ends The addictive component of long, winding conversations — what you're actually chasing when you keep talking What "losing yourself" in a conversation looks like in real time, and how to catch it before it happens What to do instead of the long, winding conversation that goes nowhere How to recognize emotional quicksand before you're in it Key Ideas Covered The moment you lose yourself — talking stops being communication and becomes a bid for a response that isn't coming. That's the moment self-abandonment starts. The addictive pull— why the conversation feels compulsive, not optional. The near-miss of almost being heard keeps you coming back for one more round. Emotional quicksand — the more you explain, defend, and re-explain, the deeper you sink. Struggling harder doesn't get you out; it's what keeps you in. Unhealthy vs. healthy man — what actually changes when the man across from you is capable of hearing you: how he responds to being told something hard, whether the conversation resolves or repeats, and whether you leave the conversation more grounded or less. What to do instead — the alternative to over-explaining and re-litigating: naming the pattern, stating what you need once, and letting his response (or lack of one) be the information. Who This Episode Is For Women who find themselves having the same conversation on repeat, women who leave conversations with their partner feeling more depleted than resolved, and anyone trying to tell the difference between a man who's struggling to communicate and a man who simply isn't going to.

IntroductionStephen's trial draws to a conclusion. We are confronted with the hardship of living in a sin-cursed world. Stephen is doing everything right. He is faithful to the Lord. He speaks the truth. He boldly proclaims Christ. The apostles' faithfulness has been rewarded with thousands of converts. One would think that this is going to be the trend. Stephen tells us otherwise. Stephen is faithful, and his reward is rejection, being dragged outside the city, and killed.We are moved to a question: What do we do with a gospel like this? We might second-guess and ask, should Stephen have backed off? Should he have softened his message? Should he have simply swept Christ under the carpet so that he could preserve his life?This narrative forces us to question: Is Jesus really essential to the Christian life, or is he something we can make optional when following him becomes difficult? We see in Acts 7 that Christ is not optional. We need Christ because our own righteousness will never be enough. And what we discover in Stephen's death is that earthly suffering does not mean Christ has abandoned his people. In fact, Christ is standing in heaven. He is not taking a passive stance, but an active stance in advancing his gospel despite this setback.The Contrasted Perspectives: Stephen and the MobThe first thing we see is the contrast between Stephen and the crowd. Stephen has just laid out the history of God's covenant interaction with Israel. His summary is that God is faithful and his people have been unfaithful. The crowd is furious. They are shouting, grinding their teeth, covering their ears, and eventually rushing him as a group. Stephen has called them "uncircumcised in heart and ears." The crowd only confirms his indictment. They cover their ears, they refuse to listen, and they refuse to evaluate their own history. They are physically demonstrating fruits that prove Stephen's accusation. They have decided that they know the truth, they know their theology, they know their system, and they are not going to listen to anything that challenges it. We are reminded to be careful when we are so certain.How do we know when to be certain and when to repent? The real issue is Christ. Stephen is not saying that Moses was unimportant or that God's covenant dealings with Israel were meaningless. He is showing that all of these things were pointing beyond themselves to Christ. The law reveals the holiness of God, and it exposes our inability to meet that holiness by our own efforts. The administration given through Moses points us toward the greater reality that comes in Jesus Christ. If we think we can stand before God on the basis of our own accomplishments, we will end up aligned with the crowd. We need Christ. Christ is not optional. We need to take his yoke upon us because there is no other way to life. He is the proper successor to Moses.The ultimate contrast is that as the crowd accuses Stephen, he receives vindication. Luke tells us, Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looks up and sees heaven opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God. The very Christ whom they rejected, the Christ whom they killed, is standing in glory. Stephen sees the risen and vindicated messiah advocating on his behalf.A Contradictory Profession of FaithThis leads us to the second thing we see: Stephen's profession of faith stands in direct contradiction to the profession of the mob. Political wisdom might have told Stephen to keep his mouth shut. Sometimes silence is golden. They are already angry, and Stephen has every reason to know that saying more is not going to make things better. But Stephen is overwhelmed by the Spirit, and he says, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."Stephen's testimony is very important. Stephen is identifying Jesus as the Son of Man, the Messiah, the one Daniel 7 points us toward. The very man whom they had rejected and killed is now standing in the glory of heaven. And notice that Christ is standing. Normally we think of Christ seated at the right hand of God (Psalm 110), enthroned in glory. But here he stands. The picture is not of a passive Savior who has gone to heaven and simply watches what happens to his people. Christ is active. He is ruling. He sees Stephen. He knows what is happening. Stephen may look abandoned from an earthly perspective, but heaven tells us that Christ is active in his rule.The crowd thinks they are judging Stephen, but Stephen has already been vindicated by Christ. They want to put down a dangerous heretic, but Stephen bears witness to the reality that they did kill the messiah. This communicates the complexity of a fallen world. We might think that our current circumstances mean we are bearing the weight of our sin. However, we might be part of the bigger picture. We need to see that our hope is not found in our circumstances, our reputation, or our earthly success. Our hope is found in the risen Christ who stands at the right hand of God. We might not always understand why history unravels the way it does, but we know that Christ is standing as our shepherd-king.The Contrasted VictoriesThe world will view Stephen's death as an absolute failure. Stephen is dragged outside the city and executed. The crowd gets what it wants. The Sanhedrin does not stop them. A man who faithfully preached Christ is dead. If we were simply looking at the circumstances, we might ask, "Where is the victory?"But Luke is showing us something much bigger. Stephen's death identifies him with Christ. Stephen is now experiencing exactly what Christ said would happen. He is cast outside the city, just as Christ was rejected and cast out (Luke 4:29). And even in his death, Stephen echoes the posture of his Savior. He asks the Lord not to hold this sin against them, and he entrusts his spirit to Christ (Acts 7:59-60; cf. Luke 23:34, 46). There is no bitterness here. There is confidence. Stephen knows that death does not have the final word. He is passing from this life into the presence of the Lord who is standing at the right hand of God.And then Luke gives us another remarkable detail: Saul is there. Stephen's outer garment is laid at Saul's feet. This tells us that Saul has authority and could stop it. He might not give the order, but he approves of this execution. This is the man who goes to ravage the church.The Lord's victory still shines through. The persecution drives the gospel to Samaria. Saul will become one of the most aggressive missionaries in the early church. Ironically, this man will have a passion to bring the gospel to the Gentiles. We see that Christ is still ruling in the midst of what appears to be a setback.That is the irony of the Christian life. The Lord does not promise that faithfulness will always produce earthly comfort. Sometimes obedience hurts. Sometimes faithfulness costs us something. Sometimes the church appears to be losing. But Christ is not passive. He is standing and ruling over history. The gospel advances despite what appears to be a huge setback.ConclusionShould Stephen have watered down Christ's significance? Should he have made Christ less central? Should he have treated Jesus as something optional?No. Because Christ is Lord. Stephen sees him standing in heaven. And that is what gives Stephen confidence in the middle of suffering. The world may say that Stephen is the loser, that he was a fool for being so committed to Christ, that he should have kept his mouth shut. But Stephen knows something the mob does not know. His life is not ultimately defined by what happens to him in this age. His life is defined by Jesus Christ, and his certainty is guaranteed in Christ.And that is our hope as well. We live in a sinful world, and God's redemptive purposes often work themselves out in ways that are not pretty or comfortable. But Christ is not passive. He is standing in the glory of heaven. He is ruling, defending, protecting, and advancing his church. And even when we cannot see how he is doing it, Christ is still at work.Stephen's confidence was not in Stephen. It was in Christ. His hope was not that this life would turn out in victory. His hope was that Christ would shepherd him through this life and into the life to come. And so when we find ourselves facing suffering, opposition, disappointment, or things that simply do not make sense, we remember where our hope is. It is not in ourselves. It is in Jesus Christ. We are assured that taking the yoke of Christ is not tyranny. It is life. And because Christ has made us his own, we can press forward with confidence in his power.Our life is found in Christ. Therefore, let us press forward, trusting him, even when faithfulness is costly, because Christ Jesus has made us his own.

Welcome, gorgeous souls, to Episode 444 of Aligned Abundance! ✨In this week's episode, I'm exploring the difference between healthy and unhealthy expectations when it comes to manifesting your desires - and whether your expectations could actually be blocking what you're trying to receive. Having big dreams and believing they're possible is a powerful part of manifestation. But there's a difference between expecting abundance to be available to you and becoming emotionally attached to exactly how, when and in what form your desires have to arrive.In this episode, I'm sharing why our ego can become so invested in a particular outcome that we unknowingly put our desires in a chokehold. I'll explore why releasing expectations doesn't mean lowering your standards or giving up on your dreams, but instead expanding your expectations beyond what you can currently imagine and creating space for something even bigger, better or more aligned to find you.In this episode, I'm sharing:Why healthy expectations and attachment aren't the same thingHow your ego can become emotionally invested in a specific outcomeWhy releasing expectations doesn't mean lowering your standards or dreamsHow focusing on the exact "how" can limit what you're available to receiveBecause sometimes the most abundant thing you can do is hold the vision, take aligned action and leave enough space for the Universe to show you just how much bigger and better your dreams could become ✨Resources mentioned in this episode:Reset to Receive (FREE 60-min Reset): 19th AugustJoin the Manifestation Membership: August's Theme: Possibilities-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Explore More Ways to Manifest Your Dream Life...

Can trying to eat perfectly actually make you less healthy? Dr. Matthew Lederman joins Chuck Carroll to explore the hidden connection between food perfectionism, fear, chronic stress, gut health, sleep, and the nervous system. A nutritious diet remains an essential foundation for good health. But what happens when healthy choices are driven by anxiety? When a small amount of oil, salt, or sugar feels dangerous? Or when every unexplained symptom sends you searching for another food intolerance, supplement, or dietary rule? Dr. Lederman explains why two people can eat the same healthy meal while experiencing completely different physiological responses. One may be eating from joy and self-care. The other may be eating from fear—and that fear can keep the body locked in a state of heightened vigilance. Chuck also shares candid stories from his own health journey, including the years when strict food rules created additional stress and the relief he experienced after allowing himself greater flexibility.

Trump, 80, Spotted Out With Young Blonde Aide — After the Two Were Accused of Having a 'Very Unhealthy' RelationshipAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

IntroductionStephen stands falsely accused. He has been set up by false witnesses who claim that he has blasphemed Moses, the Temple, and God. These charges are serious and warrant death under Moses. Stephen is invited to give a defense by the high priest when he says, “Are these things so?” One would think that Stephen would defend himself, but Stephen knows they do not want him to be acquitted on the charges because that would make them look bad. If Jesus is the Messiah, then the ruling council killed God's very deliverer. Stephen does not defend himself, but presents the history of God interacting with his people throughout the ages. He shows that they are doing to Christ exactly what their fathers had always done to God's messengers.God Works Outside CanaanThe God of glory appears to Abraham in Mesopotamia. Abraham was not in Canaan, but outside Canaan. God's work and promise are never confined to a local city or land. In fact, we see that in their history they sold their own brother into slavery. Stephen moves to the story of Joseph ending up in Egypt. The Lord not only protects Joseph there, but preserves his people despite their betrayal of Joseph. The temple, Canaan, and Jerusalem do not contain God. He works outside the promised land. He has been a faithful shield to his people, but they have not been faithful to him. God Delivers His PeopleClearly, the Lord can protect the people outside the land. Now we move to Moses' story. Joseph dies, and there is a new Pharaoh in the land. This Pharaoh forgets what Joseph did for Israel. He deals shrewdly (craftily, deceptively) with Israel. He desires to weaken them by killing the male infants. Not only is God's people in a foreign land, but now there is a hostile leader to the Lord's people. The Lord predicted to Abraham that his descendants would be oppressed. The Lord starts to quietly work on his deliverance. God raises up Moses. Moses should have been destroyed. Instead, he ends up adopted by Pharaoh's daughter. He is educated in Pharaoh's house, and Stephen summarizes Moses by saying that he was mighty in word and deed. Moses tries to relieve Pharaoh's oppression by killing an Egyptian. He thought the Israelites would see this as an act of deliverance. No, when Moses confronts two Israelites fighting, the one accuses Moses of attempting to murder them rather than give them relief. Moses is asked, “Who made you ruler and judge?” Moses is rejected. He spends the next 40 years of his life in the wilderness. One day Moses meets God at the burning bush in the wilderness. God has heard the groaning of His people for generations. He is not indifferent. Moses, who once tried to deliver in the flesh by killing an Egyptian and was rejected by his own people, is now sent by God as the true deliverer. The Lord's people are led out of Egypt by his hand. In the process, Stephen reminds them that Moses himself spoke of a coming Prophet like himself (Deuteronomy 18). This is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is the definitive word and action of God, ultimately delivering his people. However, like Israel in the wilderness and in the land, they ignored the prophets, worshipped false gods, and never truly sought the Lord. God's Continual Provision Despite Rejection God provides the tabernacle in the wilderness. He meets with people there. The tabernacle enters the land with Israel. This is replaced by the temple. The problem is that people think that the temple is holy in itself. They are not seeing the God who uses these means to commune with his people. God's people continue to pursue false gods. Amos recounts their pursuing false gods (Amos 5). Isaiah reminds the people that the Lord dwells beyond the land (Isaiah 66:1-2). God's people cannot look beyond the tangible gods. This is a human problem. Stephen lays out the core of the problem: “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.” Their heart is not tender to the Lord. They are like oxen who stiffen their neck against the farmer's direction. They will not go where he leads them. They will not and have not taken on the yoke. (cf. Matthew 11:28)ConclusionStephen's sermon recounts God's working in history. He has been faithful, protective, and present with his people. His people have responded with a deaf ear and an unyielding presence. The temptation is not unique to first-century Israel. We too can become attached to traditions, institutions, or routines while neglecting humble submission to Christ. We can become stiff-necked, insisting on our own way instead of yielding to our Savior.The prophet like unto Moses is ultimately Christ. He is the agent and action of God's redemption. He is the greater Joseph who was rejected, and then exalted. He provides better provision than bread alone. He is the substance of eternal life. He is the greater Moses who delivers his people from a far greater slavery than Egypt. He is greater than the temple and the tabernacle, for he is God in the midst of us. Therefore, the call is not merely to admire Stephen's courage but to embrace Stephen's Christ. We are invited to take Christ's light yoke upon us. We are to be a people praying for the Lord to search our hearts. (Psalm 139:23)Let us be a tender people to the Lord's purpose. Let us find our identity and peace in our redeemer.

On this weeks she rises podcast, we're getting honest about the coping mechanism so many of us reach for and so few of us admit to: money. The quiet swipe, the cart that magically fills when we're stressed, the parcel that gives us a hit for all of about five minutes before the guilt creeps in. We're unpacking why spending soothes the things we don't want to feel, what void we're really trying to fill, and the moment treating yourself tips into something that's quietly costing you more than money. If you've ever hidden a purchase, felt the panic when the statement lands, or wondered why you can't just stop, this one's for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

IntroductionIt is easy to think that if we are faithful, God will always reward us with visible success. That was the assumption of Job's friends, and to some extent Job himself. Job does wrestle with God's will, and lays out that the wicked man can prosper and the righteous man can suffer. Justice in this age is not always so black/white. We can fall into a hasty assumption that if we obey, life should go smoothly. If we suffer, we must have done something wrong. Is this always the case?Stephen's story reminds us that God's kingdom does not always work according to our expectations. Here is a man full of grace, full of the Holy Spirit, and faithful in every way. Yet instead of receiving praise, he is falsely accused and brought to trial. Luke shows us that faithfulness is not measured by earthly success but by steadfast trust in Christ.Contradicting the Expected NarrativeStephen is introduced as a man "full of grace and power." His life displayed the work of the Holy Spirit. He is a man so enveloped by grace that he is a gracious man. He served the weak as a deacon. He defended the truth second to none. Overall, he reflected the kindness of Christ. His wisdom did not come from natural ability but from the Spirit working through him. Christ shows his promise is true that he will give the words when one is hauled into a court. (Luke 21:14)His godliness stirred opposition rather than an attentive ear. Those who argued against him could not answer his teaching because the Spirit gave Stephen wisdom beyond their own. One would think that such compelling arguments would win the day. However, the opposite happens. The Opponents Create False EvidenceUnable to defeat Stephen's teaching, his opponents turned to deception. They secretly persuaded false witnesses to accuse him of blasphemy against Moses, the temple, and God. Rather than submitting to God's Word, they twisted the truth to preserve their own system.This reminds us that unbelief is not simply a lack of evidence. The problem is the human heart. Stephen answered every objection faithfully, yet Luke tells us they failed to believe. Ironically, they violate Moses' law as they recruit a malicious or a false witness against Stephen (Deuteronomy 19:15-21. ). Moses is very clear that the thing the false witness desires to do to the accused will be carried out on them. Clearly, they do not want what is orthodox. They will cast aside Moses to destroy an innocent man.It is true that we are called to be ready to make a defense (1 Peter 3:15), but at the same time we are not to obsess about every possible objection (Luke 21:14). The problem is not solved through moral or logical suasion. It is a problem of the heart that only the Lord can cure. A Second Moses, Rejected Like the FirstAs Stephen stood before the council, Luke reports to us instant credibility: his face shone like the face of an angel. Just as Moses reflected God's glory after meeting with the Lord, so Stephen visibly reflected the presence of God. When Moses received the Torah from God, we read that his face shone so brightly that God's people could not look upon him (Exodus 34:29-35). You would think that the council would pause and contemplate. They would think that maybe Stephen is also bearing revelation from the same God. Maybe Stephen is bringing revelation and instruction, torah, that the council should heed. However, Stephen would suffer as a martyr, as we will see in two weeks, because of their hard-hearted rebellion.We might think that this is defeat. Christ never abandoned His servant. Stephen's strength came from the risen and reigning Savior, who upheld him through suffering and welcomed him into glory. Christ's ascension does not remove him from the church. No, Christ's ascension testifies that he rules over the church in the midst of his enemies. His ascension testifies that he really empowers the church as sovereign ruler and priest (Psalm 110:2; cf sermon on Psalm 110). The church must remember this lesson. We cannot judge God's blessing merely by numbers, popularity, or outward success. Christ calls His people to faithfulness. The results belong to Him, and we trust that it works out. We are called to discern (Ephesians 5:10) what is pleasing to God and be faithful to him.ConclusionStephen teaches us to keep our eyes fixed on Christ rather than on earthly outcomes. We may faithfully proclaim the gospel and still face rejection. We may do what is right and still suffer. But none of this means Christ has abandoned His people.Our Savior reigns even in the midst of opposition (Psalm 110:2; cf sermon on Psalm 110). He gives His Spirit to strengthen His church. His Spirit gives us wisdom to answer when called upon. The ultimate peace is knowing that in the Spirit we will persevere until the end.Therefore, let us seek to be people who are full of the grace of Christ. Let us be a people who give ourselves over to the Spirit. Let us be a people who seek to discern what it means to be faithful in every circumstance. Our confidence is not in visible success but in our risen Lord, who holds His people securely in His hands and will never fail to bring them safely home. Let us walk in him!

Welcome back to In Sanity: A Piece of Mind. In this episode, I'm responding to more of your questions and feedback from recent episodes, because these questions and comments are worth discussing together. Then I'm digging deeper into shame itself and discussing a few old things and a few new things. Healthy shame is the kind that keeps you aligned with your own values — it's a signal, not a verdict. Unhealthy shame is the kind that convinces you something is wrong with who you are, not just what you did. I'll walk through how that shows up in daily life and in parenting, and how to start noticing your own personal triggers before they run the show.I'll also talk about why self-kindness matters so much here — treating yourself the way you'd treat a good friend, not the way your inner critic wants to. I'm drawing on Kristin Neff's research on self-compassion and common humanity, plus what we know about the neuroscience of change: how repeated, mindful practice actually builds new neural pathways over time. My hope is you walk away with something practical — a way to catch shame in the moment and respond to it differently.apieceofmindpodcast@gmail.comKristin Neff, Self-Compassion — https://www.amazon.com/Self-Compassion-The-Proven-Powerful-Happiness/dp/0143120359Kristin Neff, Mindful Self-Compassion — https://self-compassion.org/

In the last podcast (#183 - How Does Energy Flow Keep Your Horse Alive And Healthy?), the energy potential of the cell is its ability to perform all necessary functions, which was the product of supply (energy flow) and demand (energy resistance). The "sweet spot" for the supply and demand is regulated by the individual. But living in the human world has affected the amount of energy available for cellular functions or the cell's ability to use it (energy resistance). The result can be either too much or too little of each, which results in malfunctioning cells, illness, lameness, and even death. In this podcast, I look at the flow of energy in a way that allows horse owners to see horses as energy containers, with energy flowing through them from food into movement and then into waste (water and carbon dioxide). This simplicity allows us to identify the friction points that cause illness and poor performance. The concepts given here are actually simpler than how you think about your horse care now. Clarity allows you to look at your horses (and possibly yourself) with a better understanding of how the body works. Health improvements come specifically from reduced stress and inflammation, which can help your horse perform better and stay healthier. Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction and review of Podcast 183. Energy Potential (EP) = Energy Flow (EF) x Energy Resistance (ER), the supply and demand theory, and Energy = mass times the speed of light squared, or E = mc² 3:54 - The 3 cell functions that require energy, all cell functions have a cost, and all cells have a finite maximum amount of energy. 7:23 - Resistance and Energy Flow affect the cell's ability to function. 11:44 - Supply and demand within cells, presented as a math problem: disease is when the product of decreased energy flow and increased energy resistance falls outside of the cell's "sweet spot." 12:35 - Colic in terms of energy. 14:32 - Laminitis in terms of energy. 16:28 - All other diseases in horses in terms of energy. 18:00 - Why increasing food intake doesn't increase cell energy. 21:15 - Using diet and exercise to adjust cell energy use to find the "sweet spot." 25:30 - The effect of stress on cellular energy potential. 27:37 - Summary: energy supply x the demand for that energy = the cell's energy potential (health or illness). ******************************* #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare #equinedentistry Join us at The Horses Advocate Community page: https://community.thehorsesadvocate.com/yt Dentistry: https://theequinepractice.com/ Horsemanship Dentistry School: https://www.horsemanshipdentistryschool.com/c/information/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horsesadvocate/ Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973, earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in 1984.

Listen to today's podcast... Did you know that going through the drive thru naked is illegal? In 2012, a naturist was found guilty of “partial nudity that offended public order” for incidents that occurred in 2008 and 2009 as he went through a drive thru. Today is National Drive Thru Day and while it is not recommended to go through the drive thru naked, we know that many of us will go through at least one drive thru today. Eating out is no longer a special event, but a practical alternative to eating at home when no one feels like shopping or cooking.  Decisions about ‘what's for dinner?' reflect a solution to an equation that involves three variables: 1) what's on hand in the fridge, cupboard or freezer, 2) the time available to cook and eat and 3) the urgency of hunger. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Drive Thru Day: Drive thru foods are not all bad.  It is possible to make some wise choices, but it can be difficult if you don't consider the options before you are about to order. Examine your life and do a rhythm check.  Are you pushing and rushing most of the time?  If so, consider altering your drive thru behaviour slightly to allow yourself the opportunity to slow down, take your time eating, socialize and enjoy the ‘whole' meal experience.

Lyn welcomes spiritual counsellor Dr. Stephen Paul Edwards to discuss his deeply personal book, The Venus Flytrap. Stephen opens up about his journey through a tumultuous three-year relationship with a beautiful yet manipulative partner, exploring how even experienced relationship experts can attract/ fall into toxic dynamics when weakened by burnout or unresolved past trauma. Rather than viewing himself as a victim, Stephen shares how shifting his mindset to see every challenge as a mirror, allowed him to release unhealthy attachments, heal childhood patterns, and embrace true vulnerability as a pathway to emotional freedom. KEY TAKEAWAYS Toxic relationships often stem from underlying childhood patterns rather than simple relationship issues. Unhealthy attachments occur when we confuse external items or relationships with our personal identity. Viewing difficult experiences as happening for us rather than to us prevents us from adopting a victim mindset. True power and emotional freedom come from being vulnerable and releasing the fear of what others think. BEST MOMENTS "You don't have a relationship problem, you have a pattern problem."  "Everything is a mirror... She was mirroring back to me pieces of myself that I'd given away over the course of my life or I hadn't embraced or hadn't accepted as part of myself, so that I could heal them."  "When you're attached, you think it's part of who you are—that it's part of your identity."  "Vulnerable is a power, not something to fear, because when you can be vulnerable... it gives you freedom that you can't get any other way."

What if the behavior you keep trying to stop is not the real problem, but a signal pointing to something deeper?Bestselling author and speaker Pam Dwyer joins I Am Refocused Radio for a powerful conversation about The Pattern Beneath, exploring what may be happening underneath overeating, overworking, overspending, over-giving, emotional reactions, shutting down, and other repeating coping patterns.Pam shares insights from her forthcoming book, Delay the Binge, a compassionate guide centered on the power of the pause.

Do you think about your therapist between sessions? Check their social media? Spiral when they cancel? A licensed therapist explains why attachment to your therapist happens, why it's actually part of the process, and the exact signs that tell you when it's crossed into unhealthy territory. In this episode of Ask Kati Anything, licensed marriage and family therapist Kati Morton breaks down the therapeutic relationship: the single strongest predictor of whether therapy actually works. She answers listener questions about feeling "creepy" for looking up their therapist, why therapy can feel transactional and fake, and what therapists are really noticing about you in session. Then she walks through the attachment ladder, the four stages that explain why your therapist starts to feel like the only person who truly gets you, and closes with a complete checklist of healthy vs. unhealthy therapeutic relationship signs.

Canadian wildfires are once again sending smoke our way, creating hazy skies and reduced air quality. Although the smoke can create unusually vivid sunrises and sunsets, it can also lead to limited visibility, fewer outdoor activities, and health concerns. Dan spoke with pulmonologist Dr. Peter Barkin about how to protect your lungs during periods of poor air quality.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever apologized, changed your behavior, taken responsibility… yet someone still refuses to let go of your past? Maybe every disagreement somehow circles back to the same mistake. Maybe you've spent years trying to rebuild trust, only to find yourself defending who you used to be instead of discussing what's happening today. In this episode of The Positivity Xperience, we're exploring the psychology behind resentment, identity, shame, and why some people become emotionally attached to your worst moments. We'll discuss confirmation bias, cognitive dissonance, moral superiority, and why your growth can actually become threatening to someone who has built their story around who you used to be. You'll learn why some people freeze your identity at your lowest point, why resentment changes the way the brain interprets future behavior, and the critical difference between accountability and permanent punishment. We'll also explore when holding someone accountable becomes emotional leverage, how shame keeps you trapped in an identity you've already outgrown, and why healthy relationships leave room for both responsibility and redemption. If you've ever felt like no matter how much you've changed, someone continues to define you by your past, this episode will help you understand what's happening psychologically—and how to stop carrying an identity that no longer belongs to you. Because healthy relationships make room for accountability. Unhealthy relationships make room for permanent punishment. At some point, you have to ask yourself: Am I rebuilding trust… or am I serving a life sentence inside this relationship? In this episode we discuss: Why some people refuse to let go of your past The psychology of resentment and confirmation bias Why people freeze your identity at your worst moment Cognitive dissonance and why your growth makes others uncomfortable Accountability versus shame The difference between forgiveness and rebuilding trust Moral superiority and emotional power dynamics How resentment changes future interactions When repeated punishment becomes emotional manipulation How to stop defining yourself by your worst mistake Become A Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepositivityxperience Let's work together: www.thepositivityxperience.com

The shift in how I see it didn't come from a study. It came from paying attention.My great-grandmother milked her own cow and churned her own butter. By the time I was a teenager, my friends and I were chasing low-fat labels and avoiding the same food our ancestors had prized for generations.Margarine showed up in a spray bottle in my house once, and my body knew within one bite that something was off.

A New Model for Treating Trauma Do You Need to Revisit the Past to Heal Trauma? Episode Overview In this episode, David and Kevin explore a provocative idea: healing from trauma may not require revisiting the past at all. Drawing from decades of clinical experience and data-driven research, David challenges a core assumption in trauma therapy and explains why focusing on the present moment can lead to rapid and lasting change. Key Takeaways A Radical Shift in Trauma Treatment Traditional approaches often emphasize revisiting and "processing" past trauma. David argues that this may be unnecessary—and sometimes counterproductive. His clinical experience suggests trauma can often be resolved in a single session by focusing on current thoughts and feelings. The Power of the Present Moment Patients consistently want help with what's bothering them right now, not necessarily past events. Changing how someone feels in the present can dissolve the emotional impact of past trauma. "The past is embedded in the present"—shift the present, and the past loses its grip. The Cognitive Model at Work Emotional suffering is driven not by events, but by thoughts about those events. When distorted thoughts are identified and challenged, emotional distress can rapidly disappear. This applies to trauma, depression, anxiety, and more. Data-Driven Insights Statistical modeling of patient data revealed that past emotional history does not predict recovery. In fact, including past data made predictive models less effective. Present-moment variables fully explained improvement. Powerful Clinical Stories Anne's Story (Terminal Cancer Diagnosis) Faced with a devastating diagnosis, Anne experienced severe depression. In a single session, her distorted thoughts (self-blame, guilt) were challenged. Her depression dropped from severe to zero—and did not return over the next two years. Trauma Workshop Demonstrations Across dozens of live demonstrations, participants with severe trauma experienced complete symptom relief within hours. Most work focused on present concerns—not revisiting traumatic memories. Latvian Survivor's Story A woman who survived Nazi-era trauma attempted suicide decades later. Her distress was tied not to past trauma, but to a belief: "I am worthless." Challenging that thought led to rapid recovery. Key Concepts Healthy vs. Unhealthy Negative Emotions Healthy: sadness, grief, concern Unhealthy: shame, guilt, worthlessness Therapy aims to eliminate distorted, self-defeating emotions, not natural human feelings. Exposure Therapy—Used Selectively Exposure can be powerful, especially for anxiety. However, it's often not necessary for trauma recovery. David reports using it rarely in trauma cases. No One-Size-Fits-All Approach Effective therapy requires a toolbox of techniques, not rigid adherence to one method. TEAM-CBT emphasizes flexibility and rapid testing of what works.

Final Thoughts This episode offers a hopeful and empowering message: You may not need to relive your past to heal from it. By changing how you think and feel today, meaningful recovery can happen faster than you might expect. What's Coming Next Next episode: A deeper dive into trauma treatment using memory rescripting, including when revisiting the past can be helpful. Thanks for listening—see you next time!
