Share a commentWhat if the hardest part of sharing your faith isn't what to say, but what to expect? We start with raw honesty about why evangelism stirs anxiety and pushback, then move into a practical, grace-filled path for action—one invitation, one clear verse, one real conversation at a time. Along the way, we challenge the scoreboard mindset and trade it for a better aim: obedience over outcomes.We talk about relationships that break your heart and seeds that seem to die in the soil—Demas deserting Paul, Whitfield praying for Franklin, crowds walking away from Jesus. That history grounds us when a coworker deflects with stories or a neighbor bristles at the word sin. The gospel exposes guilt before it heals shame; light stings before it saves. So we practice a different posture: clarity with kindness, truth without spin, pity instead of heat. No quick fixes. No promises of rose petals. Just the honest news that Christ saves sinners and the patience to keep doors open.Then comes the story that reframes success: Frank Jenner on George Street in Sydney, an aging sailor who asked thousands the same simple question and never saw a single response. Decades later, the fruit surfaced across oceans—sailors, pastors, and missionaries tracing their first step toward Jesus back to a quiet man with tracts and courage. His legacy frees us. You don't need the perfect moment or the perfect words; you need a faithful next step and trust in the Spirit who does the heart work.If this stirs you, join us in a small, bold move: invite one person from your workplace, school, or neighborhood to church, and be ready with a simple path through Scripture.

Jessica Brassington's story challenges everything you think you know about device-related complications. At 48, going through the most traumatic season of her existence, she was told her symptoms were just perimenopause, just natural changes, just reality. But when she heard about how major stressors can exaggerate device-related symptoms, everything clicked. Six months post-extraction with Dr. Whitfield, Jessica opens up about why she's grateful she didn't wait for the "right time," how her faith guided her decision, and why she's passionate about sharing her story so other folks don't suffer in silence. Her symptoms weren't debilitating, which almost stopped her from seeking assistance. This conversation is for every person who's been told they're fine when they know they're not, and for anyone who needs permission to trust their body's wisdom over someone else's timeline. Jessica on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jess_brassington/ IN THIS EPISODE WE'LL: Discover why traumatic experiences can trigger or worsen device-related complications even years after the procedure Break through the myth that you need "severe enough" problems to take action on your wellbeing Transform your understanding of fat transfer as a natural alternative to prosthetics during extraction procedures Expose the dangerous dismissal of female medical concerns as "just endocrine changes" or "just perimenopause" Unlock the power of sharing your story to assist other folks find answers and reclaim their wellbeing CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: The Day I Couldn't Get Up Off the Floor | Breast Implant Illness Recovery with Erika Why She Couldn't Remember Her Own Life with Brooke Ochojski Why These Plastic Surgeons REFUSE to Place Breast Implants Anymore | Dr. Landon Pryor Let's Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@robertwhitfieldmd/videos Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

Matthew 4:1-11At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desertto be tempted by the devil.He fasted for forty days and forty nights,and afterwards he was hungry.The tempter approached and said to him,“If you are the Son of God,command that these stones become loaves of bread.”He said in reply,“It is written:One does not live on bread alone,but on every word that comes forthfrom the mouth of God.”Then the devil took him to the holy city,and made him stand on the parapet of the temple,and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down.For it is written:He will command his angels concerning youand with their hands they will support you,lest you dash your foot against a stone.”Jesus answered him,“Again it is written,You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.”Then the devil took him up to a very high mountain,and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence,and he said to him, ""All these I shall give to you,if you will prostrate yourself and worship me.”At this, Jesus said to him,“Get away, Satan!It is written:The Lord, your God, shall you worshipand him alone shall you serve.”Then the devil left him and, behold,angels came and ministered to him.

Matthew 5:20-22a, 27-28, 33-34a, 37Jesus said to his disciples:"I tell you, unless your righteousness surpassesthat of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven."You have heard that it was said to your ancestors,You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.But I say to you,whoever is angry with his brotherwill be liable to judgment."You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery.But I say to you,everyone who looks at a woman with lusthas already committed adultery with her in his heart."Again you have heard that it was said to your ancestors,Do not take a false oath,but make good to the Lord all that you vow.But I say to you, do not swear at all.Let your 'Yes' mean 'Yes,'and your 'No' mean 'No.'Anything more is from the evil one."

Regina Steele's story starts where most don't: with a naturally large chest that made her want to disappear. After years of unwanted male attention and physical discomfort, she underwent a reduction with prosthetic devices, hoping to finally feel comfortable in her body. Instead, she spent years battling endocrine chaos, digestive dysfunction, and systemic complications no doctor could explain. When she discovered the connection between her symptoms and her surgical devices and chose extraction with Dr. Whitfield's team, everything changed. Today, Regina guides mothers through the messy reality of postpartum recovery through her integrative coaching practice and her refreshingly honest book, "Mother F*cked: The Anti-Perfectionist's Guide to Surviving and Thriving in the Chaos of Modern Motherhood." This conversation reveals the hidden cost of chasing society's ideal body and the power of listening to what your body has been trying to tell you all along. Buy Regina's book: Motherf*cked: The Anti Perfectionist's Guide to Surviving (And Thriving) in the Chaos of Modern Motherhood IN THIS EPISODE WE'LL: Discover why a naturally large chest from an early age can create a lifetime of body shame and how that shaped Regina's decision to pursue a procedure in the first place Break through the myth that reduction procedures with prosthetic devices solve body image issues when the inflammatory burden of these devices can create years of endocrine imbalances, digestive dysfunction, and systemic complications Transform your understanding of why preventative functional medicine testing is an investment that saves you from decades of hospital bills and undiagnosed suffering Explore how Dr. Whitfield's entire team, from patient concierge to detox specialists, creates a network that makes the device extraction process feel less isolating when cultural pressures push perfection Learn why mothers need permission to recover slowly and reject the "bounce back" culture that keeps folks sick, exhausted, and apologizing for taking up space CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: Why She Couldn't Remember Her Own Life with Brooke Ochojski Parasites, Mold & Toxins: The Hidden Epidemic Causing Your Mystery Symptoms | Dr. Todd Watts Lyme Disease & Brain Fog: The Missing Link with Dr. Eboni Cornish Links and Resources Let's Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@robertwhitfieldmd/videos Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

Matthew 5:13-16Jesus said to his disciples:"You are the salt of the earth.But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned?It is no longer good for anythingbut to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.You are the light of the world.A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket;it is set on a lampstand,where it gives light to all in the house.Just so, your light must shine before others,that they may see your good deedsand glorify your heavenly Father."

Matthew 5:1-12aWhen Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying:"Blessed are the poor in spirit,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are they who mourn,for they will be comforted.Blessed are the meek,for they will inherit the land.Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,for they will be satisfied.Blessed are the merciful,for they will be shown mercy.Blessed are the clean of heart,for they will see God.Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called children of God.Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute youand utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.Rejoice and be glad,for your reward will be great in heaven."

A simple hymn can change the tone of a Monday, especially when its story holds more twists than we expect. We open with a warm welcome to a five-minute reset and then dive into the surprising path of Oh How I Love Jesus: verses penned by Frederick Whitfield in 1855 joined to a chorus that wandered across 19th-century America, attaching to hymns like Amazing Grace before finally finding its home. That union created a song so many of us know by heart, yet few know how it came to be.   We share five rarely-sung Whitfield stanzas that expand the hymn's world: daily guidance from the Father, comfort for deep sorrow, a still small voice that dries tears, a fragrance along a thorny road, and a future song among the blood-bought throng. Each line adds texture to our faith, carrying us from morning anxieties to long-haul hope.   We reflect on what loving Jesus truly means: recognizing His identity as God and Creator, remembering His descent into suffering and the cross, and responding with awe, gratitude, and trust. The result is a devotion that steadies our steps, whether we're facing deadlines or walking through shadowed paths. To seal the moment, we point you to a moving performance by Carrie Underwood, so the truth lodges not just in thought but in song.If this short journey lifts your morning, follow the show for weekday five-minute reflections, share it with a friend who loves classic hymns, and leave a rating so more listeners can find a hopeful start to their day.We would love to hear your comments.

Dr. Meg Mill, a clinical pharmacist and functional medicine practitioner, joins Dr. Whitfield for a deep dive into the chronic inflammatory conditions he sees daily in his practice. She explains how mast cell activation syndrome develops when your immune system becomes overwhelmed and starts misfiring, reacting to everything from food to water to air. The conversation takes an unexpected turn into GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, where Dr. Whitfield shares his clinical concerns about young, lean women using these powerful medications without understanding the consequences. From his surgical perspective, he's watching patients burn their facial fat and age dramatically while chasing unrealistic body standards promoted by online influencers. Dr. Mill reinforces that real healing requires nervous system work, not just another supplement or drug, and both doctors emphasize the danger of buying compounded medications online when you have no idea what's actually in them.

What does it really look like for a man to take responsibility for his healing?In this episode, Laterras R. Whitfield of Dear Future Wifey shares his journey from infidelity to integrity and how owning his past became the turning point that prepared him for a second chance at love.Rather than blaming circumstances or others, Laterras chose a harder path. He took accountability, did the internal work, and became the kind of man a future wife could trust. This conversation explores what real healing requires, why integrity must be built before marriage, and how responsibility shapes the husband a man becomes.Whether you are single, dating, married, or rebuilding after divorce, this episode challenges us all to forgo outsourcing our healing, and rather, to believe and become redeemed and transformed.______________________________________________How can YOU begin preparing for your future marriage too?

Matthew 3:13-17Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordanto be baptized by him.John tried to prevent him, saying,“I need to be baptized by you,and yet you are coming to me?”Jesus said to him in reply,“Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for usto fulfill all righteousness.”Then he allowed him.After Jesus was baptized,he came up from the water and behold,the heavens were opened for him,and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a doveand coming upon him.And a voice came from the heavens, saying,“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Most of us enter relationships trying to pass; pass as healed, pass as confident, pass as ready. But love was never a test to ace.This conversation shifts the posture from trying to master love to becoming a student of it. Drawing from Student of Love, we explore how relationships are meant to teach us, through rejection, boundaries, identity, commitment, and even discomfort.Too often, we chase connection without clarity and search for soulmates without doing the soul work. When we stop trying to control love and instead listen to what it's teaching us, something changes.Love doesn't fail us; we fail to listen.And when we do, we don't just experience love, we reflect it.Laterras R. Whitfield's new book, Student of Love, is available now, wherever books are sold.

Matthew 2:1-12When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea,in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews?We saw his star at its risingand have come to do him homage.”When King Herod heard this,he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, He inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah,are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;since from you shall come a ruler,who is to shepherd my people Israel.”Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star's appearance.He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search diligently for the child.When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage.”After their audience with the king they set out.And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the housethey saw the child with Mary his mother.They prostrated themselves and did him homage.Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.

Colossians 1:9-14 Bishop Whitfield will reflect on Paul's Letter to the Colossians, asking, “Does your vision of living as a disciple of Jesus Christ require a new perspective in which we love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously?”

Matthew 1:18-25This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly.Such was his intention when, behold,the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”All this took place to fulfillwhat the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,which means “God is with us.”When Joseph awoke,he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.

Luke 2:1-14In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustusthat the whole world should be enrolled.This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria.So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town.And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.While they were there,the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son.She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock.The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear.The angel said to them,“Do not be afraid;for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord.And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel,praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23When the magi had departed, behold,the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said,“Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt,and stay there until I tell you.Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him.”Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by nightand departed for Egypt.He stayed there until the death of Herod,that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled,Out of Egypt I called my son.When Herod had died, behold,the angel of the Lord appeared in a dreamto Joseph in Egypt and said,“Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel,for those who sought the child's life are dead.”He rose, took the child and his mother,and went to the land of Israel.But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judeain place of his father Herod,he was afraid to go back there.And because he had been warned in a dream,he departed for the region of Galilee.He went and dwelt in a town called Nazareth,so that what had been spoken through the prophetsmight be fulfilled,He shall be called a Nazorean.

Matthew 1:18-24This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,but before they lived together,she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,yet unwilling to expose her to shame,decided to divorce her quietly.Such was his intention when, behold,the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,"Joseph, son of David,do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.For it is through the Holy Spiritthat this child has been conceived in her.She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,because he will save his people from their sins."All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,and they shall name him Emmanuel,which means "God is with us."When Joseph awoke,he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded himand took his wife into his home.

Matthew 11:2-11When John the Baptist heard in prison of the works of the Christ,he sent his disciples to Jesus with this question,"Are you the one who is to come,or should we look for another?"Jesus said to them in reply,"Go and tell John what you hear and see:the blind regain their sight,the lame walk,lepers are cleansed,the deaf hear,the dead are raised,and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me."As they were going off,Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John,"What did you go out to the desert to see?A reed swayed by the wind?Then what did you go out to see?Someone dressed in fine clothing?Those who wear fine clothing are in royal palaces.Then why did you go out? To see a prophet?Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.This is the one about whom it is written:Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you;he will prepare your way before you.Amen, I say to you,among those born of womenthere has been none greater than John the Baptist;yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."

Matthew 3:1-12John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the desert of Judeaand saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"It was of him that the prophet Isaiah had spoken when he said:A voice of one crying out in the desert,Prepare the way of the Lord,make straight his paths.John wore clothing made of camel's hairand had a leather belt around his waist.His food was locusts and wild honey.At that time Jerusalem, all Judea,and the whole region around the Jordanwere going out to himand were being baptized by him in the Jordan Riveras they acknowledged their sins.When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadduceescoming to his baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers!Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance.And do not presume to say to yourselves,'We have Abraham as our father.'For I tell you,God can raise up children to Abraham from these stones.Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees.Therefore every tree that does not bear good fruitwill be cut down and thrown into the fire.I am baptizing you with water, for repentance,but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I.I am not worthy to carry his sandals.He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.His winnowing fan is in his hand.He will clear his threshing floorand gather his wheat into his barn,but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."

Matthew 24:37-44Jesus said to his disciples:"As it was in the days of Noah,so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.In those days before the flood,they were eating and drinking,marrying and giving in marriage,up to the day that Noah entered the ark.They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away.So will it be also at the coming of the Son of Man.Two men will be out in the field;one will be taken, and one will be left.Two women will be grinding at the mill;one will be taken, and one will be left.Therefore, stay awake!For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.Be sure of this: if the master of the househad known the hour of night when the thief was coming,he would have stayed awakeand not let his house be broken into.So too, you also must be prepared,for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come."

This is a fan fav episode. Today we're unveiling the truth behind cheating. Join me for a thought-provoking two-part episode of Women of Impact where I sit down with Latteras Whitfield for a candid conversation about cheating, which I'll admit is going to be a bit triggering for some of you. Together, we delve deep into the reasons behind Latteras' infidelity and provide valuable insights for women dealing with the aftermath of this painful betrayal. Laterras, the author of Dear Future Wifey, opens up about his personal experiences of cheating multiple times on his ex-wife. He emphasizes that his cheating was never about her but rather a reflection of his own lack of integrity. We explore the factors that contribute to cheating, such as unmet needs, contention, and the misconception that sex with other women means nothing to a married man. This conversation touches on angles we rarely think about, such as the failure of counseling and the lack of open discussions about what sex truly looks like within a marriage. Laterras shares a heart-breaking story about a feather that taught him a valuable lesson on intimacy and unmet needs. And ladies, there's a powerful lesson in it for you too. I know this isn't easy for some of you to hear, but my goal is to provide healing and foster better conversations in the future. I want you to be able to spot the signs of cheating and take action accordingly, with absolutely no judgment if you decide to stay or leave that relationship. Subscribe to Women of Impact for more thought-provoking content that addresses the silent struggles we face in relationships and in life. Communication and understanding are key to saving broken hearts and facilitating healing in today's complex world of love and commitment.

Luke 23:35-43The rulers sneered at Jesus and said,"He saved others, let him save himselfif he is the chosen one, the Christ of God."Even the soldiers jeered at him.As they approached to offer him wine they called out,"If you are King of the Jews, save yourself."Above him there was an inscription that read,"This is the King of the Jews."Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying,"Are you not the Christ?Save yourself and us."The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply,"Have you no fear of God,for you are subject to the same condemnation?And indeed, we have been condemned justly,for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes,but this man has done nothing criminal."Then he said,"Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."He replied to him,"Amen, I say to you,today you will be with me in Paradise."

Luke 21:5-19While some people were speaking abouthow the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings,Jesus said, "All that you see here--the days will come when there will not be lefta stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down."Then they asked him,"Teacher, when will this happen?And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?"He answered,"See that you not be deceived,for many will come in my name, saying,'I am he,' and 'The time has come.'Do not follow them!When you hear of wars and insurrections,do not be terrified; for such things must happen first,but it will not immediately be the end."Then he said to them,"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plaguesfrom place to place;and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky."Before all this happens, however,they will seize and persecute you,they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons,and they will have you led before kings and governorsbecause of my name.It will lead to your giving testimony.Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand,for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speakingthat all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends,and they will put some of you to death.You will be hated by all because of my name,but not a hair on your head will be destroyed.By your perseverance you will secure your lives."

John 2:13-22Since the Passover of the Jews was near,Jesus went up to Jerusalem.He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves,as well as the money-changers seated there.He made a whip out of cordsand drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen,and spilled the coins of the money-changersand overturned their tables,and to those who sold doves he said,"Take these out of here,and stop making my Father's house a marketplace."His disciples recalled the words of Scripture,Zeal for your house will consume me.At this the Jews answered and said to him,"What sign can you show us for doing this?"Jesus answered and said to them,"Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up."The Jews said,"This temple has been under construction for forty-six years,and you will raise it up in three days?"But he was speaking about the temple of his Body.Therefore, when he was raised from the dead,his disciples remembered that he had said this,and they came to believe the Scriptureand the word Jesus had spoken.

In this episode, Tim shares Pat's wisdom through stories and practical lessons: The three-step sales hierarchy that changes everything: First sell yourself, second sell your company, third sell your product—in that exact order. The 30-minute love affair philosophy: Pat fell in love with every customer, giving everything of himself during their time together rather than treating them with jaded indifference.

Don't miss this tribute episode honoring a sales master who proved that confidence without compassion means nothing, and that finding ways to give customers a win will always beat protecting margin on every transaction. ------ Become a supporter of The Fire Time Network and get access to awesome rewards: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://itsfiretime.com/join⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To hear more audio articles from our magazine, subscribe to the Fire Time Magazine Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

John 6:37-40Jesus said to the crowds:“Everything that the Father gives me will come to me,and I will not reject anyone who comes to me,because I came down from heaven not to do my own willbut the will of the one who sent me.And this is the will of the one who sent me,that I should not lose anything of what he gave me,but that I should raise it on the last day.For this is the will of my Father,that everyone who sees the Son and believes in himmay have eternal life,and I shall raise him on the last day.”

Matthew 5:1-12aWhen Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.He began to teach them, saying:Blessed are the poor in spirit,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are they who mourn,for they will be comforted.Blessed are the meek,for they will inherit the land.Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,for they will be satisfied.Blessed are the merciful,for they will be shown mercy.Blessed are the clean of heart,for they will see God.Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called children of God.Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute youand utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.

Luke 18:9-14Jesus addressed this parableto those who were convinced of their own righteousnessand despised everyone else."Two people went up to the temple area to pray;one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself,'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity --greedy, dishonest, adulterous -- or even like this tax collector.I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.'But the tax collector stood off at a distanceand would not even raise his eyes to heavenbut beat his breast and prayed,'O God, be merciful to me a sinner.'I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former;for whoever exalts himself will be humbled,and the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

Teachers have been missionaries throughout history! Learn today about Lottie Moon, a missionary who used education in bringing the Gospel to China. Lottie Moon: The Girl Who Reached the World by Amy Whitfield “We've always been open to if the Lord would send us overseas, we would go, but for now He's called us to point people here [...] to the other side of the world.” “I think it's imperative for us to know the stories of the past, particularly those who have gone on before us in the church, to get the context, the history that we have come from.” “It matters to know the story of how the Gospel has spread to places around the world.” “She had one idea, and now missionaries all over the world are supported because of it still.” “Reading missionary biographies or reading missionary journals helps people to see, to understand the need, but then also to see how the Holy Spirit is working in these places.” “It's important in our churches that we are educating our kids about the Bible, about the doctrines of the faith, and about the call to go and make disciples.” “A lot of times, I think people don't understand the role that we all play in the Great Commission, even in sending.” “God woke her up to know Him, and she didn't rest until she told the world His story. Through the simple acts of baking cookies and writing letters and quite a bit of feisty determination, Lottie's dream of reaching the world for Jesus came true.” “I really think it begins with opening your eyes and saying, ‘What's one thing I can do this week, and what's one thing I can do next week?'” “We are called to be the church out there – every day, everywhere we are.” What's changing our lives: Keane: Tzatziki sauce Heather: Single Today by Ryan Wekenman Amy: Matin music from Jess Ray Weekly Spotlight: Opportunities in Creative Access locations We'd love to hear from you! podcast@teachbeyond.org Podcast Website: https://teachbeyond.org/podcast Learn about TeachBeyond: https://teachbeyond.org/

"The women have been very intuitive. They know when something's not right. And I give credit to the patients for not listening to folks telling them that there's nothing wrong." - Dr. Robert Whitfield If you've ever felt like your body was trying to tell you something but medical professionals dismissed your concerns, what would it mean to finally have validation and a path forward? I've been wanting to have this conversation for years, but I waited until I could sit down with the right expert - someone who would validate what so many women have been experiencing but were told was "all in their heads." When I connected with Dr. Rob Whitfield, a world-renowned holistic plastic surgeon who's become a leading voice in breast implant illness women are facing, I knew we had to dive deep into this topic that's affecting thousands of women but still isn't being taken seriously by many in the medical community. What started as Dr. Whitfield treating cancer patients led to a groundbreaking discovery - he was finding infections around breast implants that weren't showing up in standard lab tests. This revelation changed everything and led him to develop advanced testing protocols, which revealed that 29% of explant specimens had bacterial contamination. But here's what really struck me: 83% of his patients have genetic variations that make them poor detoxifiers, which means their bodies simply can't handle the toxic burden that implants can create. The transformation stories he shared - women getting their energy back, brain fog lifting, chronic fatigue disappearing - made me realize this isn't just about breast implants, but about any foreign object our bodies are trying to cope with. What you'll learn: How to identify if you're at genetic risk - why 83% of women with implant illness have specific detox pathway problems and what this means for your health decisions The simple glutathione taste test - a revealing at-home assessment that shows whether your body is overwhelmed with toxins (this one blew my mind!)
