Matthew 24:10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.Proverbs 18:19 A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city…Matthew 5:23-24 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.Matthew 5:25-26 Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.Satan's goal is DESTRUCTION.His strategy is DIVISION.His tactic is OFFENSE.Offense is a MOMENT; living offended is a DECISION.Luke 6:27-29 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also.7 THINGS FORGIVENESS IS NOT1. Forgiveness is not FORGETTING2. Forgiveness is not WAITING for an APOLOGY3.

BONDI BEACH TERROR. Why is WEST so weak on TERRORISM #BondiBeachTerror #IslamistTerror #AntiJewishAttack #LiveIslamistTerror #Terrorism #JonGaunt #BreakingNews Tonight we are live after what the Australian government has confirmed as a terrorist attack at Bondi Beach — a targeted anti-Jewish act of violence carried out in public, in broad daylight. Let's stop dancing around the truth. This was terrorism. And it didn't come out of nowhere. Jewish people were attacked for being Jewish — in Australia, in 2025 — and anyone pretending this is shocking but inexplicable is lying to themselves. In this live show, we ask the questions politicians, broadcasters, and too many commentators refuse to touch: • Why are Jewish communities under constant threat across the Western world? • Why do governments only get tough after the blood is on the ground? • Why is Islamist extremism still treated like a conversational minefield instead of a security threat? • And when did protecting feelings start to matter more than protecting lives? This is not about race. It's not about ordinary Muslims. It's about an extremist ideology that hates Jews, hates the West, and exploits our weakness. Terrorism doesn't stop because we're polite. It stops when we're honest. If you're tired of euphemisms, excuses, and leaders who are always "reviewing" after another attack — you're in the right place. Join the live debate. Speak freely. Keep it lawful. And don't let anyone tell you that asking these questions makes you the problem. #BondiBeachTerror #BondiTerrorAttack #IslamistTerror #LiveIslamistTerror #AntiJewishAttack #Antisemitism #TerrorismInTheWest #WesternWeakness #JonGaunt #FreeSpeech #SecurityFailure #CounterTerrorism #AustraliaNews #BreakingNews #JewishCommunity Bondi Beach terror, Bondi terror attack, Islamist terror, live Islamist terror, anti Jewish attack, antisemitism, terrorism in the West, Western weakness on terrorism, Jon Gaunt, free speech, counter terrorism failure, Australian terror attack, Jewish community targeted, security failure, breaking news Australia This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

“Humans didn't evolve to believe in gods — we evolved to learn from culture, and sometimes culture points away from gods.”Dr Will M. Gervais, psychologist and author of Disbelief, joins Humanism Now to examine one of the most persistent puzzles in the study of religion: why a species capable of deep religiosity also produces millions of convinced non-believers. Drawing on cultural evolution, cognitive science, and cross-cultural data, Will shows why belief and disbelief are shaped less by raw rationality than by social signals, security, and learning environments.Contact & resources;Website – http://willgervais.com/University profile – https://www.brunel.ac.uk/people/will-gervaisResearchGate – https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Will-M-Gervais-16312567Disbelief – Gervais (2023) – https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Disbelief-by-Will-M-Gervais/9781633889248Topics we cover• Why humans evolved a capacity for religion, not a destiny to believe • The twin puzzles of belief and disbelief explained scientifically • Why comfort-based and “God-spot” theories fall short • Cultural signals, credible displays, and how communities transmit belief • Why atheism often emerges where signals are mixed or muted • Weak and fragile links between analytic thinking and non-belief • Moral distrust of atheists — and what behavioural data actually show • Differences in moral style rather than moral behaviour • Agnosticism as a distinct epistemic position, not a midpoint • Existential security and why stable societies secularise • Cultural evolution and the “big gods” hypothesis • Why scientific self-correction matters more than tribal loyaltySend us a textSupport the showSupport Humanism Now & Join Our Community!

Most men obsess over goals - the outcomes, the achievements, the shiny targets. But goals don't build men. Standards do. In today's Field Notes, Ryan breaks down why standards define your identity, how they outperform goals in every way, and why your life only changes when you elevate the rules you live by. He shares powerful examples, including recovering from a major injury, why men fail when they rely on motivation, and how to build standards that make you unshakable. Ryan also outlines a four-step framework to reset your identity, eliminate weak standards, and cement the behaviors that transform your life. If you want 2026 to be different, this episode explains exactly where to start. Key Takeaways Goals are emotionally dependent, standards are identity-based. Standards keep you anchored in the present - goals keep you trapped in the future. Goals collapse under adversity; standards strengthen you because they're non-negotiable. A man becomes powerful when he lives by a code with zero negotiation. Your life changes when your identity upgrades, not when your goals get bigger. Four-step framework to build standards that stick: -Identify the man you refuse to be. -Build non-negotiables in all four quadrants (Calibration, Connection, Condition, Contribution). -Build accountability. -Enforce consequences when you violate your own standards. 00:00 - Introduction 00:09 - Why Most Men Get Goals Backwards 01:20 - Goals Don't Build Men — Standards Do 02:33 - Examples of Weak vs. Strong Standards 04:34 - Ryan's Pec Tear: Standards in Adversity 06:24 - A Man Rises or Falls to His Standards 07:50 - Why Goals Fail Men 09:33 - How Goals Delay Action and Keep Men Stuck 11:23 - Goals Collapse Under Stress 12:57 - Standards Create Structure and Strength 14:38 - How Standards Transform a Man 16:10 - Standards Prevent Moral Drift 17:32 - Building Trust Through Consistency 18:57 - Standards Make Men Anti-Fragile 21:03 - Stop Waiting for "All Green Lights" 22:43 - Identity Before Action 23:28 - Fast Progress Comes From Identity Shifts 24:26 - The "Light Yourself on Fire" Lesson 25:14 - Reverse Engineering Goals Into Standards 25:57 - Step 1: Identify the Man You Refuse to Be 27:38 - Making Weak Behaviors Repulsive 29:31 - Step 2: Non-Negotiables in the Four Quadrants 31:32 - Step 3: Accountability 33:00 - Step 4: Enforce Consequences 33:42 - Final Challenge: Raise Your Standards 35:45 - Iron Council Promotion 36:33 - Preview Call Details Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

In this powerful shortcast of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick expose one of the most dangerous forces shaping modern men: passivity. Drawing from Scripture, real leadership experience, and hard-earned battlefield lessons, they dismantle the seven lies that keep men stuck, ineffective, and spiritually asleep.Modern culture celebrates “go with the flow” attitudes, conflict avoidance, and emotional softness — but none of that looks like Jesus. Garrett reminds us that Christ was never passive. He confronted lies, protected truth, and led with courage. Real masculinity creates strength, protection, and flourishing — not weakness or drift. Inside this episode, you'll discover: The Top 7 Passive Lies Men Believe Each lie is unpacked with practical examples and Biblical clarity:“I'm just being patient.” Learn the difference between godly patience and spiritual laziness.“I don't want to make things worse.” How fear of conflict quietly destroys families, marriages, and leadership.“I'm just laid back.” Why “laid back” can actually be a denial of responsibility.“It's not a big deal.” The massive danger of minimizing problems.“I don't feel motivated.” How children follow feelings — men follow truth.“I don't want to be controlling.” Why real leadership is invitation, not domination.“If God wants it to change, He'll change it.” One of the most damaging forms of spiritual passivity.Sign up for the 2026 New Year's Day Ice Bath event hereGet the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life
You're Not Weak, You're Just Programmed Wrong reveals why most men fail not from lack of effort, but from faulty subconscious programming rooted in years of fear, repetition, and outdated belief systems. This livestream draws directly from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and aligns it with the emotional intensity of the Christmas season to help men over 30 reset their internal code before 2026. If you have ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or like the life you want is just out of reach, it is not because you are lazy. It is because the mental software running your decisions was installed without your consent. We will talk autosuggestion, emotional repetition, faith, and how to retrain your subconscious with structure. Watch this before another December slips by.

PREVIEW — Evan Ellis — Honduras: Poverty, Corruption, and Migration Crisis. Ellis details the severe structural poverty and endemic corruption plaguing Honduras, characterized by institutionally weak governance frameworks systematically infiltrated by drug trafficking organizations and violent gangs including Mara Salvatucha and Mara 18, which exercise de facto control over substantial territorial jurisdictions. Ellis documents that despite significant recent reductions in homicide rates reflecting improved security conditions, Honduras remains fundamentally unstable, functioning as a major source of Central American and Caribbean migration toward Northern Triangle transit routes to the United States. Ellis notes that domestic Honduran political constituencies are increasingly demanding law-and-order governance and institutional reform to address gang violence, territorial control by criminal organizations, and the dysfunctional state capacity that perpetuates irregular migration and humanitarian crises. 1930 CARACAS
Menopause, which typically occurs between age 44 and 55, marks the natural end of menstruation and fertility, and is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without menstruation A 2025 study presented at The Menopause Society Annual Meeting found that women who experienced earlier menopause and had weaker heart function showed more signs of brain aging Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, and Alzheimer's affects women nearly twice as often as men Falling estrogen and progesterone levels affect every system — blood vessels stiffen, sleep and mood fluctuate, and metabolism slows Menopause is not the end of vitality — it's a biological reset.

The modern West is in decline. Economic stagnation, rising tax burdens, moral disorientation, political corruption, bloated bureaucracies, and soaring levels of poverty, drug addiction and homelessness, all point to a faltering civilization. While many agree that the West is faltering, explanations as to why vary; some blame the collapse of religion and the loss of […] The post Why Weak People Create Hard Times – The Biological Decline of the West first appeared on Academy of Ideas.

It's Week 14 in the NFL, and for some teams, it definitely felt more “weak” than “week.” Ryan and Dustin brave snowy upstate New York to break down the best, worst, and most surprising moments from around the league, including Packers-Bears and Bengals-Bills as their top games. The guys dive deep into the biggest upsets, disappointments, and peak performers—including some love for running backs and defensive standouts—and debate what's gone wrong for the Eagles' offense. Plus, they update the Cut the Brakes Pick ‘Em Challenge, look ahead to key NFC South matchups, discuss jaw-dropping stats from the Jets' historically bad defense, and name their favorite athletes to ever wear the number 90.

Send us a textWhat makes a love song last—melody, memory, or the moment you needed it most? We put that question to the test with a no-mercy R&B love song draft spanning the 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s. Three hosts build rival playlists across high-stakes categories: best song, male and female group records, duets, covers, remixes, breakup anthems, and decade picks. Every selection has to earn its place, and every hot take has to survive the smoke.We go deep on the culture: why Whitney's I Will Always Love You became the definitive cover, how samples carry love stories across generations, and where the line sits between love, lust, and obsession. Expect strong opinions—SWV's Weak goes early, Miguel's Adorn and Frank Ocean's Thinkin Bout You anchor the 2010s, and SZA's Snooze and Muni Long's Made For Me make their case for modern classics. We champion sleepers like Anthony Hamilton's The Point of It All and Lauryn Hill and D'Angelo's Nothing Even Matters, and we push back on sacred cows with overrated calls that might rattle a hive or two.By the time we hit duets, male-led, and female-led rounds—Avant and Keke Wyatt's chemistry, Luther's patience, Fantasia's glow, Beyoncé's Plastic Off the Sofa—the boards tell a story about how R&B holds our best and hardest moments. We end with a full recap and a clear way to crown a winner: three playlists, your votes. Tap play to hear the case for each track, then choose the lineup you'd ride with forever.Living the Dream with CurveballOn the living the dream with curveball podcast I interview guests that inspire.Listen on: Apple Podcasts FOLLOW.

Christian leadership often celebrates strength — gifting, vision, productivity. But Scripture keeps pushing us somewhere counterintuitive: to weakness, dependence, and the kind of leadership where God's power is the point, not ours. In this episode, Dave Harvey unpacks the core message of The Clay Pot Conspiracy: leaders don't fall because they're weak — they fall because they hide it. And when we cover our limits, protect our image, or outrun our character, we step away from the very place where God works most powerfully. We talk about the quiet patterns that shape leaders over time, why vulnerability is essential for integrity, and how embracing our fragility isn't a liability but the doorway to sustained, God-dependent ministry. For pastors, ministry leaders, and anyone who wants to lead without pretending to be strong, this conversation offers a clear, honest, and deeply hopeful path forward.

Neediness isn't weak or wrong. There is power in the ask.For centuries, families lived in community they neededeach other, they asked, they received, they supported. In the Western world, we've been taught to thrive on independence, often forgetting how to ask from an empowered place.Too often, we ask from need trying to fill a hole insideus rather than from wholeness, from confidence, from sovereignty. But when we learn to ask from power, everything changes. Asking becomes a tool to embody your authority, claim your desires, and show up fully in the bedroom, the boardroom, or even over a simple coffee.This episode is for every woman ready to reclaim hervoice, embrace the power of her ask, and stop apologizing for needing what she wants.
In this episode, I talk about how to walk like you own the room. I share a story from my freshman year in college, when a coach tried to shame me for carrying myself with confidence—and why I refused to let that mindset stick. How you enter a room is the first test of your presence, long before you open your mouth. Weak men drift in like they're asking for permission; strong men step in with authority. I break down how to show that authority the right way, without arrogance and without saying a word. Show Notes: [04:39]#1 Posture tells the story. [11:05]#2 Pace creates presence. [16:12]#3 Keep your energy contained. [25:30] Recap ⚡️ Power Presence Protocol Command The Room Without Words → http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com
What Does a Perfect Bowling Game Have in Common With Top-Performing Sales Reps? Walk into a bowling alley on a Friday night, and you'll see a scene that looks like pure recreation. The crash of pins, the rumble of conversation, the squeak of shoes on the approach. But beneath all that noise is something far more serious: discipline, repetition, emotional control, and the relentless pursuit of mastery. That's the real game. And it's the exact game top performers play in sales. Selling rewards consistency, mental toughness, and the willingness to execute the fundamentals long after everyone else has checked out. When you break the sport of bowling down frame by frame, it mirrors what we teach every day at Sales Gravy. Fanatical Prospecting. Emotional control. Owning your process. Staying steady under pressure. Winning one shot at a time. Each frame reveals a truth about the way elite sellers think and operate. Frame 1: The Approach — Fanatical Prospecting In bowling, the shot starts before the ball ever moves. The routine is deliberate: same steps, same breath, same commitment. That's where consistency begins. In sales, your approach is prospecting. It's the moment you decide whether you're a professional or a hobbyist. Pros don't wait for a pipeline crisis. They build a non-negotiable daily rhythm of fanatical prospecting, exactly the way Jeb teaches it. “One more call. One more conversation. One more connection.” That mindset is your approach. That's the discipline that separates a bowler stepping onto the lane with purpose from the one sitting at the bar making excuses. You pick a target, commit, and move. Frame 2: The Lane — Owning Your Sales Process A lane looks the same every time, but it rarely plays the same. Oil patterns shift. Friction changes. Conditions evolve. Your sales process is no different. You can't control a buyer's internal politics or shifting priorities, but you can control how you move through your process. You can control your cadence, your discovery, your follow-up, and your commitment to advancing every opportunity with intention. Average sellers blame the lane. Pros read it. They ask better questions. They recognize where deals stall. They adjust without abandoning the fundamentals. The arrows exist to guide the ball; your process exists to guide you. Ignore it, and you drift straight into the gutter. Frame 3: The Ball — Your Message and the Triangle of Trust A bowler's ball is drilled to fit their hand, weighted for their style, and chosen for the conditions. Your ball is your message—your story, your questions, your ability to connect what you sell to what the buyer actually cares about. When you balance logic, emotion, and values, the ball rolls true. Most sellers throw the same generic pitch at every buyer. Pros tune their message. They refine their openings. They speak the buyer's language. Hit with too much emotion and no substance, you lose credibility. Hit with pure logic and no emotional relevance, you miss the pocket of influence. The goal is simple: strike emotion first, let logic clean up the rest. Frame 4: The Pins — Prospects, Objections, and Physics Pins obey physics. They aren't out to get you. Prospects are the same. Some fall quickly. Some require finesse. Some need a second shot. This is where many sellers unravel emotionally. They take objections personally. They turn one “no” into a story about themselves. Objections aren't judgment. They're feedback. “We're happy with our current vendor.” “Call me next quarter.” Objections are indicators, and tell you where your angle is off. Pros adjust. Ask a different question. Reframe the problem. Bring a story that hits harder. Then take another shot. The frame isn't over until you quit. Frame 5: The Shoes — Mindset and Emotional Control No one bowls in street shoes. You'll slip, lose balance, and go down hard. Your mindset is your pair of bowling shoes. Without emotional control, every call feels unstable. Every objection knocks you off center. Every tough moment spirals. Pros prepare their mind before they prepare their day. They visualize tough conversations. They decide how they'll respond to setbacks before they happen. They choose composure over reaction. A confident mind produces a confident delivery. Buyers feel both. Frame 6: The Equipment — Tech as an Amplifier, Not a Crutch Pros carry multiple balls, tape, tools—gear that helps them adjust and stay consistent. None of it bowls for them. Sales is full of tools too: CRMs, AI, sequencing engines, dialers. But tools only multiply effort. They never replace it. Weak sellers hide behind technology. Pros use it to increase conversations and stay organized. Tools help you understand the “oil pattern” of your territory. But at the end of the day, it's still you, a buyer, and a conversation. No technology closes deals for you. Frame 7: The Team — Culture and Accountability Bowling looks individual, but leagues win seasons. Behind every high average is a team pushing each other, challenging complacency, and celebrating progress. Sales is the same. Great cultures are built around coaching, accountability, and emotional safety. Teams share insights, review calls, and collaborate on tough deals. When someone hits a strike, everyone feels the lift. When someone struggles, the team rallies. You're competing, but you're not competing against each other. You're competing against your potential. Frame 8: The Scoreboard — Metrics and Truth The scoreboard doesn't lie. It doesn't care how busy you felt. It only reflects execution. Your sales scoreboard measures the same: dials, conversations, opportunities created, conversion rates. These numbers are feedback tools. High performers study them. They adjust mechanics, behavior, and cadence based on the data. You can't manage what you don't measure. Frame 9: The Follow-Through — Closing with Composure A bowler's follow-through is controlled and deliberate. The ball is gone, but the motion stays disciplined. Closing requires the same composure. Many sellers execute well early in the cycle. Then, at the moment of truth, they flinch. They rush. They soften. Pros stay steady. They recap value clearly. They ask directly and confidently. They handle final concerns without panic. Closing is the natural output of a disciplined process. Frame 10: The Final Frame — Finishing Strong with Follow-Up The tenth frame separates casual bowlers from champions. Tired, under pressure, and out of margin for error, pros sharpen their focus. In sales, the tenth frame is follow-up. It's the week after the demo. The stalled proposal. The buyer who goes quiet. Most sellers mentally check out and tell themselves the wrong story: “If they wanted it, they'd call me.” Pros don't buy that lie. Deals are won in the follow-up—professional, relevant, value-driven persistence. That's where reliability is proven. The Game That Never Ends Sales doesn't have a perfect 300 game every time. Some days everything strikes clean. Some days you grind for spares. Some days the ball finds the gutter no matter how good your form feels. The separator is what you do next. Pros study the lane. They adjust their feet. They breathe. They get back on the approach and commit to the next shot with the same intensity as the first. So as you head into your day, think like a bowler playing the long game. Lace up your mindset. Respect your process. Choose your message with intention. Read your buyers the way pros read the lanes. Lean on your team. Track your scoreboard. And never cheat the follow-through. The pins are set. The lane is open. You've always got one more frame. Step up with purpose. Roll with confidence. And when in doubt, make one more call. Ready to take your sales game to the next frame? Build discipline, track your process, and crush your goals with the FREE Sales Gravy Goal Guide.

Economic Signals from Europe: Falling Energy, Rising Copper, Data Center Demand — Simon Constable — Constable reports from southern France that global economic indicators remain mixed: European energy prices have declined due to weak industrial demand signaling economic sluggishness, while copper prices surge driven by "green transition" infrastructure development and energy-intensive AI data center construction. Constable documents that copper demand is projected to increase sixfold by 2050, creating critical supply gaps and incentivizing dangerous copper wire theft from derelict properties, while China controls limited domestic production but maintains substantial contract claims on South American reserves rendering supply chains geopolitically vulnerable. 1954
