In this episode, Don McGray, product marketing leader and Head of Growth PMM at Vimeo (formerly Dropbox and Airtable), shares how to separate identity from performance without dialing down ambition. From being told his launch plan was “C-plus work” to navigating a surprise layoff, Don shares the inner-game shifts that helped him rebuild trust, make cleaner calls, and keep moving in high-stakes environments.Don gets specific about executive alignment (and the invisible pre-meeting “backchannel”), the moment he realized he was in the wrong role—and said it out loud—and why cultivating distance from work (and toward real hobbies) made him a steadier operator when pressure spiked.In this conversation, you'll learn:How to detach self-worth from outcomes so feedback, layoffs, and big swings don't break your momentum.How to earn executive buy-in before “the meeting” and turn harsh input into an actionable A-grade plan.How to diagnose a role misfit early, have the hard conversation, and land where your strengths actually compound.Things to listen for:(00:00) Intro(02:10) Don's early career(04:37) High stakes and career growth at Dropbox(09:42) Thank you to our sponsor, Navattic(13:50) Lessons from Airtable: handling tough feedback(18:31) Navigating executive expectations(25:04) Facing imposter syndrome(25:25) Struggles in a new role(28:19) The importance of vulnerability(30:10) Navigating career changes(38:32) Handling layoffs and job insecurity(42:58) Balancing work and personal lifeA huge thanks to this episode's sponsor:Navattic: Interactive Product Demo Software - https://navattic.com/value Resources:Connect with Don: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donmcgray/ Connect with Andrew:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewcapland/ Substack: https://media.deliveringvalue.coHire Andrew as your coach: https://deliveringvalue.co/coachingJoin Growth OS: https://deliveringvalue.co/growth-operating-system

And I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come.” [1] 2 And I looked, and there was a white horse, and its rider held a bow. A crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. 3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come.” [2] 4 And another horse, a fiery red one, went out. Its rider was given power to take peace away from the earth so that people would slaughter one another. And a great sword was given to him. 5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come.” [3] And I looked, and there was a black horse. Its rider had a scale in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice from among the four living creatures say, “A quart [4] of wheat for a denarius, [5] and three quarts [6] of barley for a denarius. And do not dilute [7] the oil and the wine.” 7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come.” [8] 8 And I looked, and there was a pale green horse. And its rider was named Death, and the Grave [9] followed closely behind him. They were given power over a quarter of the earth, to kill people with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth. The Fifth Seal: The Souls Under the Altar 9 When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, under the incense altar I saw the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the testimony they had maintained. 10 And they called out with a loud voice, saying, “O Lord, holy and true, how long until you judge and exact justice for our blood from those who live on the earth?” 11 A white robe was given to each one of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until their number would be complete, when their fellow servants and their brothers [10] would be put to death as they were. The Sixth Seal: The Last Judgment 12 And I watched when the Lamb opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair. The entire moon became like blood. 13 The stars of the sky fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when it is shaken by a strong wind. 14 The sky was removed like a scroll being rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved from its place. 15 The kings of the earth, the nobles, the military leaders, the rich, the powerful, and everyone—slave or free—hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 And they kept saying to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their [11] wrath has come. Who is able to stand?” Footnotes Revelation 6:1 Some witnesses to the text add and see. Revelation 6:3 Some witnesses to the text add and see. Revelation 6:5 Some witnesses to the text add and see.

Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed and is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Worthy Is the Lamb 6 And I saw a Lamb standing in the center, near the throne, surrounded by the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders. The Lamb seemed to have been slain, and he had seven horns and seven eyes (these are the seven spirits of God that have been sent into all the world). 7 The Lamb came and took the scroll out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8 And when the Lamb took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders bowed down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls full of incense (these are the prayers of the saints). 9 And they sang a new song, saying: You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals,     because you were slain,     and you bought us [2] for God with your blood         out of every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 You made them [3] to be a kingdom and priests for our God, and they will reign on the earth. 11 And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels who were around the throne and around the living creatures and the elders. Their number was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands upon thousands. 12 With a loud voice they were saying: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing. 13 I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever. 14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders bowed down and worshipped.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Genesis 2:15–17 Genesis 2:15–17 | Adam — a man meets his Maker from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. GOD WORKS HIS COVENANT PURPOSE GOD INITIATES PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP GOD SPEAKS WITH ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY GOD MAKES GENEROUS PROVISION IMPLICATIONS Jesus is the culmination and fulfillment of the Old Covenant and the center and hope of the New Covenant. Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to bring all the redeemed into intimate knowledge and fellowship with God. Jesus speaks with all the authority of heaven itself. Jesus has secured every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. 1 Corinthians 2:10 (ESV) these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. Ephesians 3:17–19 (ESV) … that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Mark 9:7 (ESV) “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” Ephesians 1:3 (ESV) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, Colossians 3:1–2 (ESV) If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Luke 12:31 (ESV) Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.

And the first voice that I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.” 2 Immediately I was in spirit. And look! A throne was standing in heaven, and someone was sitting on the throne. 3 The one who was sitting there looked like a jasper stone and a ruby. [1] Around the throne there was a rainbow that looked like an emerald. 4 Also around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and sitting on those thrones were twenty-four elders dressed in white garments, with gold crowns on their heads. 5 Out of the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and crashes of thunder. In front of the throne seven flaming lamps were burning, which are the seven spirits of God. 6 Also in front of the throne was something resembling a glassy sea, which was like crystal. In the middle, near the throne and around the throne, there were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like an ox, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 8 Each one of the four living creatures had six wings, and the wings were full of eyes all around and underneath. [2] Day and night, without pause, they keep saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who is coming. 9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders bow down before him who sits on the throne. They worship the one who lives forever and ever and lay down their crowns in front of his throne as they say: 11 Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power,     for you have created all things,     and because of your will they existed and were created. Footnotes Revelation 4:3 Or carnelian Revelation 4:8 Literally inside. The English idiom for the inside of a wing is underneath, that is, the hidden side. #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-aocsdx-89cb4ca21532423cf697fc393b6fcee0{ height:10px; } The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc.

If only you were cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm and not hot or cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, “I am rich. I have become very wealthy and need nothing.” But you do not know that you are miserable, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments, so that you may be clothed and the shame of your nakedness may not become public, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. 19 I rebuke and discipline those whom I love. So take this seriously and repent. 20 Look, I stand at the door and I am knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will go in with him and dine with him, and he with me. 21 To the one who is victorious I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-aocsdx-89cb4ca21532423cf697fc393b6fcee0{ height:10px; } The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc.

Hold on to what you have so that no one takes your crown. 12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never leave it again.

Sundance feature programmer Ania Trzebiatowska joins the show to talk about curation as craft, responsibility, and intuition. From her roots in Poland to running Krakow's Off Camera festival, working in acquisitions at Visit Films, and programming U.S. and world documentary features at Sundance, Ania reflects on how taste is formed and why being pleasantly surprised when viewing submissions still matters most.We discuss the realities filmmakers obsess over, including who you know, timing, marketplace “success,” and why Vimeo analytics do not tell the full story. Ania breaks down what actually happens behind the scenes at Sundance, how programmers balance limited slots with thousands of film submissions, and why being the right fit matters more than trends or agendas.She shares why festivals need balance between urgent, heavy films and work that is entertaining, humane, and emotionally alive. Drawing from examples like André Is an Idiot and Gleason, Ania explains how character-driven storytelling can carry even the most difficult subjects. Advice to filmmakers: do your research, be clear about what you are making, and remember that programmers are rooting for you, even when the answer might still be no.What Movies Are You Watching?

If not, I will come to you soon, and I will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

[2] 10 I was in spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard a loud voice behind me, like a trumpet, 11 saying, “Write what you see on a scroll and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.” Jesus Appears 12 I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me. When I turned, I saw seven gold lampstands, 13 and among the lampstands was one like a son of man. He was clothed with a robe that reached to his feet, and around his chest he wore a gold sash. 14 His head and his hair were white, like white wool or like snow. His eyes were like blazing flames. 15 His feet were like polished bronze being refined in a furnace. His voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 He held seven stars in his right hand. A sharp two-edged sword was coming out of his mouth. His face was shining as the sun shines in all its brightness. 17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last— 18 the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell. [3] 19 “So write what you have seen, both those things that are and those that will take place after this. 20 “The mystery of the seven stars, which you saw in my right hand, and the seven gold lampstands is this: The seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.” Footnotes Revelation 1:9 Some witnesses to the text read Christ.

Christ expressed this revelation by means of symbols sent [1] through his angel to his servant John. 2 John spoke as a witness to the word of God and to the testimony about [2] Jesus Christ, that is, to everything he saw. 3 Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy and blessed are those who hear it and hold on to the things written in it, because the time is near. Greeting 4 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: [3] Grace to you and peace from him who is, who was, and who is coming, and from the seven spirits that are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

THE HOPE OF A NEW GENERATION THE VICTORY OF THE KING THE KING ENTERS HIS HOUSE THE DAY OF CONQUEST IS COMING Zechariah 1:4 (ESV) Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.' 1 Samuel 8:19–20 (ESV) “No! But there shall be a king over us, that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.” Mark 10:45 (ESV) For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark 11:11 ESV And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. Matthew 26:28 (ESV) for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Ian Duguid The blood that would be shed to bring us peace was his blood. The righteous King had to die in place of his unrighteous followers, the Good Shepherd in place of his unfaithful flock, so that God could accomplish his eternal purposes. Revelation 19:11–16 (ESV) Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

I tell my distress before him. 3 When my spirit grows faint within me, you are the one who knows my course. On the path where I walk they have hidden a snare for me. 4 Look to my right and see.

In your faithfulness, answer me in your righteousness. 2 Do not bring charges against your servant, because no one living can be righteous before you. The Problem 3 For the enemy pursues my soul. He crushes my life to the ground. He makes me dwell in dark places like those long dead, 4 so my spirit grows faint inside me. Within me my heart is devastated. The Reason for Hope 5 I remember the days of long ago. I meditate on all your works, and I consider what your hands have done. 6 I spread out my hands to you. Interlude My soul thirsts for you like a weary land. The Prayer 7 Hurry! Answer me, Lord. My spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, or I will be like those who go down to the pit. 8 Let me hear about your mercy in the morning,     for I trust in you. Teach me the way that I should go,     for I lift up my soul to you. 9 Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord,     for I hide myself in you. 10 Teach me to do your will,     for you are my God. May your good Spirit lead me on level ground. 11 For the sake of your name, O Lord, preserve my life. In your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. 12 In your mercy, wipe out my enemies, and destroy all who threaten my life, for I am your servant. Footnotes Psalm 142:1 A maskil is a type of hymn.

A theme that's dominated 2025 for me (and for many) has been price rises across many subscription-based platforms and services. My correspondence with companies has made clear that loyalty stands for very little. In fact, rather than being rewarded, longevity is increasingly exploited and monetised. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I share a year-in-review through the lens of price rises. The tipping point was an email from my podcast hosting company, Libsyn, announcing a 71 percent increase effective from January. It was the straw that broke this camel's back after a year of similar moves elsewhere. In the episode, I share exchanges with three companies that reveal how loyalty is no longer valued in itself, but engineered to extract profit from those of us who've become reliant on these platforms. https://youtu.be/qrmUSdGwcMs A Symptom of Enshittification Cory Doctorow describes the underlying trend as “Enshittification”, a form of platform decay visible in companies like Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple, and Adobe. It's not a glitch, but a feature. Doctorow traces a familiar arc: platforms start by serving users well in order to grow. Once established, they pivot toward business customers, monetisation, and scale. Eventually, when users and businesses are sufficiently locked in, services are degraded for everyone so maximum value can be pulled out as quickly as possible. Disproportionate price rises are one symptom of this process, particularly in how companies treat long-standing customers. Lock-in is maintained through network effects (it's hard to leave when everyone else is still there), non-transferable data (your work can't easily be exported), and digital restrictions where purchases only function inside a single ecosystem. Music, books, films, and software are “owned” only as long as the platform allows it. In the name of convenience, we give ourselves over to these systems and become dependent on them. As the digital and physical worlds converge, this logic extends beyond apps and websites into cars, home devices, utilities, and infrastructure. At that point, this stops being a simple matter of consumer choice. Extraction is baked into the products themselves. We are quietly acclimatising to this new normal. It has crept in through corporate consolidation, weak enforcement of anti-trust legislation, and business models that no longer need to meaningfully consider customer relationships once a certain scale is reached. Abusing Trust, Need, and Loyalty Charlie Brooker has cited Enshittification as an influence on Common People, the opening episode of Black Mirror series seven. A couple sign up to a subscription-based medical intervention that escalates in cost, complexity, and dependency. Features are removed. Adverts are inserted. The stakes become existential. One particularly chilling moment sees Mike literally mutilating his own body for money via an OnlyFans-style platform, a stark symbolic image of how value is extracted from people once dependency is established. Price Rises for a “Valued Customer” Libsyn informed me they were raising the price of hosting A Quiet Night Inside No 9 by 71 percent. The justification was a familiar list of added features and growth opportunities, none of which were relevant to how we use the service. We don't want adverts or growth tools. We want reliable hosting and delivery. This exchange highlighted how much podcasting has changed since I joined Libsyn in 2009. Hosting platforms have increasingly positioned themselves as intermediaries between advertisers and podcasters. That relationship now takes precedence. Advertising is framed as a benefit to creators, while enabling hosts to raise prices and skim revenue from both usage fees and ad sales. Listeners, meanwhile, absorb longer ad breaks as the new normal. Is this stage two of Enshittification in the podcasting world? Note, I pledge never to put adverts on my audio podcasts. YouTube is the only exception, because Google inserts them regardless. ConvertKit and Paying for Features I Don't Want A similar logic played out with Kit, formerly ConvertKit. I chose it in 2016 because it was simple and reliable and have been a loyal user ever since. A price increase from $49 to $59 a month was justified by new automations and tools I didn't ask for or use. There is no way to opt out and pay less. The only concession offered was annual billing, which I pointed out mirrors poverty-tax logic: those without upfront capital pay more. Symptoms of a Failing Service Vimeo was the clearest example of platform decay from the inside. Storage rules changed midstream. Long-held assumptions were invalidated. Downgrading meant losing access to years of work. Retention efforts amounted to one-off discounts rather than meaningful alternatives. What stood out wasn't hostility, but indifference. Once a service reaches a certain size, individual relationships no longer seem to matter. Their response felt so extreme that I suspected deeper problems, which seemed to be confirmed when Bending Spoons acquired Vimeo in November. I'm glad I left when I did, though it's still inconvenient clearing up broken links and legacy embeds after fifteen years of use. WishList Member and a Different Choice Not all companies operate this way. WishList Member has honoured the price and feature set I signed up for over a decade ago. While new tiers exist, functionality hasn't been removed to force upgrades. This appears to be a deliberate choice, and it communicates something simple: long-term trust and loyalty matters more than short-term extraction. I’ll let you know if this situation changes… Growth Logic and the Limits of Choice It's tempting to frame all this as a moral failure, but it's structural. Growth-at-all-costs logic makes price rises, feature bloat, and lock-in almost inevitable. These companies aren't malfunctioning; they're functioning exactly as the system encourages them to. This also makes it risky to romanticise alternatives. Newer companies may simply be at an earlier stage of the same cycle. Google once promised “don't be evil”. Facebook positioned itself as a less invasive alternative to MySpace. Scale changes incentives. Meaningful change won’t come from individual consumer choices alone. Competition has been hollowed out, and escape routes are increasingly narrow. Doctorow provides a section of existing and potential solutions that can give us reasons for active hope. Have you felt the pinch of price hikes this year? Feel free to get in touch and share your experiences.

A psalm by David. Plea for Deliverance 1 Keep me safe, Lord, from the evil man. Protect me from the violent man, 2 who plans evil in his heart. Every day they gather for battle. 3 They sharpen their tongues like a snake. Interlude The poison of vipers is under their lips. 4 Keep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked. Protect me from the violent man, who plans to trip my feet. 5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and ropes. [1] They have spread out a net along my route. Interlude They have set traps for me. Confidence 6 I say to the Lord, “You are my God.” Hear, O Lord, the sound of my cry for mercy. 7 O Lord, my Lord, the strength of my salvation, you cover my head on the day for weapons. 8 Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked. Do not let their scheme succeed when they rise up. [2] Interlude Plea for Justice 9 May the trouble caused by their lips     fall on the heads of those who surround me. 10 Let burning coals fall on them. Cause them to fall into the fire, or into pits from which they will never rise. 11 Do not let the slanderer [3] be established in the land. As for the man of violence— may evil hunt him and beat him down. Confidence 12 I know that the Lord will provide justice for the oppressed,     judgment for the poor. 13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will live in your presence. Psalm 141 Guard My Lips and Heart Heading A psalm by David. Accept My Prayer 1 Lord, I call to you. Hurry to me. Turn your ear toward my voice when I call to you. 2 May my prayer linger before you like incense, the lifting up of my hands like an evening offering. Guard My Heart and Mouth 3 Set a guard over my mouth, Lord. Keep watch over the door of my lips. 4 Do not let my heart turn toward anything evil, to take part in wicked deeds with men who do evil. Let me not taste their delicacies. Correct Me 5 Let a righteous man strike me—it is mercy. Let him rebuke me—it is lotion [4] on my head. My head will not refuse it. Reject the Wicked But my prayer is still against their evil deeds. 6 Their rulers will be thrown down by the sides of the cliff, and they will hear that my words were pleasant. 7 They will say, [5] “As one splits and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave.” Closing Plea 8 But my eyes look to you, Lord God. [6] In you I take refuge. Do not take away my life. 9 Keep me from the snares they have set for me,     from the traps of the evildoers. 10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely.

Heading For the choir director. By David. A psalm. God Is All-Knowing 1 Lord, you have investigated me, and you know. 2 You know when I sit down and when I get up. You understand my thoughts from far off. 3 You keep track of when I travel and when I stay, [1] and you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before there is a word on my tongue,     you, Lord, already know it completely. 5 You put a fence behind me and in front of me, and you have placed your hand on me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is too high—I cannot grasp it. God Is Present Everywhere 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your Presence? [2] 8 If I go up to heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in hell—there you are! 9 I rise on the wings of dawn. I settle on the far side of the sea. 10 Even there your hand guides me, and your right hand holds on to me. 11 And if I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light will become night around me,” 12 then even the darkness will not be too dark for you. The night will be as light as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you. God Is Powerful and Good 13 For you created my inner organs. [3] You wove me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and my soul knows that very well. 15 My bones were not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unfinished body. In your book all of them were written. Days were determined, before any of them existed. 17 Your thoughts to me are so precious, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 If I would count them,     they would outnumber the grains of sand. I awake, and I am still with you. God Is Holy 19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God, so that bloody men would depart from me, 20 men who speak against you maliciously. Your adversaries misuse your name. 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord, and detest those who rise up against you? 22 I absolutely hate them. To me they are enemies. 23 Investigate me, God, and know my heart. Test me and know my troubled thoughts. 24 See if there is any way in me that causes pain, and lead me in the way everlasting. Footnotes Psalm 139:3 Literally you winnow my path and my crouching down Psalm 139:7 Or presence. Presence can be a name for God or for the second person of the Trinity. Psalm 139:13 Literally kidneys. The kidneys were thought of as a center of emotion. #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-aocsdx-89cb4ca21532423cf697fc393b6fcee0{ height:10px; } The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc.

He will come when the kingdom is at ease and seize it through smooth, slippery talk. 22 A powerful force will be overpowered by him and broken, together with a leader of the covenant. 23 After an alliance is made with the leader of the covenant, the despicable person will act deceitfully. He will rise up and become powerful with a small nation. 24 He will come to the richest parts of the province when it is at ease, and he will do what his fathers and his fathers' fathers did not do. He will distribute plunder and property to them. He will come up with plans against strongholds, but only for a time. 25 He will awaken his power and his courage against the King of the South with a great army. The King of the South will stir himself up for battle with a very great and powerful army, but he will not succeed because schemes will be plotted against him. 26 Those who eat his special royal food will try to break him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall, struck down in battle. 27 The two kings, whose hearts are bent to evil, will sit at one table and lie to each other, but this scheming will not succeed, because the end is still set for an appointed time. 28 The King of the North will return to his land with a lot of captured possessions and with his heart set against the holy covenant. He will take action and then return to his own land. 29 At the appointed time he will return and come into the South again, but this later invasion will not turn out like the first invasion. 30 Ships from Kittim will come against him, and he will be humbled. [1] Then he will turn and become furious against the holy covenant and take action. He will return and show favor to those who abandon the holy covenant. 31 His forces will arise, profane the temple fortress, abolish the continual daily sacrifice, and set up the abominable thing that causes desolation. 32 So he will corrupt wicked men of the covenant with smooth talk, but a people who know their God will be strong and take action. 33 Those of the people who have insight will make many understand, but they will fall by the sword, and to flames, captivity, and plunder for some time. 34 However, when they stumble, they will be aided by a little help, and many will join them insincerely. 35 Some of those who have insight will stumble so that they may be refined, purified, and made white until the time of the end, for it is still set for an appointed time. The Antichrist and the Time of the End [2] 36 The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt himself and magnify himself over every god, and he will speak amazing things against the God of Gods. He will prosper until furious anger is completed, because what has been determined shall be done. 37 He will not favor the God of his fathers. He also will not favor the desire of women or any god, because he will exalt himself above all of them. 38 He will honor a god of fortresses in their place. He will honor a god whom his fathers did not know with gold, silver, precious stones, and very valuable things. 39 He will deal with strong fortresses with the help of a foreign god. To all who acknowledge him, he will give great honor and make them rulers over many people. What is more, he will parcel out land for a price. 40 Then, at the time of the end, the King of the South will wage war against him, and the King of the North will storm out against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships. He will enter countries like a flood and overflow them. 41 He will enter the beautiful land, and many will stumble. However, these nations will be delivered from his power: Edom, Moab, and the best of the Ammonites. 42 He will seek to harm countries, and the land of Egypt will not be one that escapes. 43 He will rule over the treasures of gold and silver and over all of the very valuable things of Egypt. Libyans and Cushites will be within his grasp. 44 However, reports from the east and from the north will terrify him. He will go out in great anger to destroy and to completely wipe out many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas toward the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come to his end, and there will be no one to help him. The Resurrection to Eternal Life Daniel 12 1 Then at that time, Michael, the great prince who stands over your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress that has not happened from the first time that there was a nation until that time. At that time your people will be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book. 2 Many who are sleeping in the dusty ground will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame, to everlasting contempt. 3 Those who have insight will shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who bring many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever. 4 Now you, Daniel, close up the words and seal the scroll until the time of the end. Many will continue running back and forth, and knowledge will increase. The Messenger Concludes His Revelation 5 I, Daniel, looked, and there were two others standing there, one on the near bank of the river and the other on the far bank of the river. 6 Someone said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long until the end of these amazing things?” 7 Then I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river. He raised his right hand and his left hand to heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time, and then, when the rejection of the holy people is finished, all these things will be finished. [3] 8 I myself heard, but I did not understand. So I said, “Lord, what will be the end result of these things?” 9 He said: Go, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand. 11 From the time when the regular daily offering is removed and an abominable thing that causes desolation is set up, there will be one thousand two hundred ninety days. 12 Blessed is the one who waits and reaches one thousand three hundred thirty-five days. 13 But you, go on your way to the end. You will rest and rise to your assigned inheritance at the end of the days. Footnotes Daniel 11:30 Antiochus IV would have successfully conquered Egypt, but he was thwarted by Roman intervention. In his rage he turned against the Jews and instigated a great persecution which led to the Maccabean revolt. Daniel 11:36 When we reach the end of this section, we will be at the Last Day. Without notice, the topic morphs gradually from Antiochus, who is the Old Testament type of the Antichrist, to the Antichrist himself. Daniel 12:7 Or when the power of the holy people has been completely broken, all these things will be completed #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-aocsdx-89cb4ca21532423cf697fc393b6fcee0{ height:10px; } The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc.

What if the future of humanity's evolution is intertwined with extraterrestrial contact, and it all begins with your vibration? In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I welcome back Darryl Anka, who has been channeling an extraterrestrial being, Bashar, for over 40 years. Together, we discuss Bashar's predictions of the upcoming global exposure of extraterrestrials and how, while they have always been here, they will soon be recognized as a key part of humanity's evolution. They offer us the chance to evolve in ways we've never imagined, but it's up to us to decide whether to embrace this opportunity. We explore how raising your vibration can prepare you for this shift, making you more open to contact with extraterrestrials, spirit guides, and other higher-dimensional beings. Darryl shares valuable insights on following your excitement, staying positive through life's changes, and letting go of limiting beliefs.  This episode offers practical steps to help you align with your highest potential and stay open to the guidance and opportunities unfolding as we move toward a new era of open extraterrestrial contact.   ===   If you need a practice to come home to yourself, try this meditation for 30 days & watch your life shift: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/10-minutes-to-shift-from-overwhelm-to-inner-peace-abundance/id1705626495?i=1000738341998   ===   We are accepting applications for ICM 2026!
