They say, “you've changed,” like it's a bad thing. But what if that's exactly the goal? In this episode, I'm sharing how Brian's Lawn Maintenance isn't the same business it used to be — and why that's something to be proud of. The vision has evolved, the goals are bigger, and the standard is higher. This is about growth, maturity, and becoming the kind of person (and business) who can handle the next level. If you've ever felt torn between staying the same or stepping into who you're meant to be — this conversation will hit home.

Obsession and addiction often go together: we tend to get obsessed with whatever we're addicted to, and can't stop thinking about it. Intrusive thoughts are also in this category - we don't want them any more than we want an addiction, but by their very nature, they dominate our thoughts, and thus become an obsession. All of these have a common origin.  All Obsessions Start With Something Good, and then Twist It Evil defines itself by the absence of God, just as darkness defines itself as the absence of light. Satan cannot create anything; all he can do is pervert something that God made, and intended for good.  So if evil itself is an inversion of something created to be good, then nearly everything  God created for our pleasure and enjoyment can also become evil, or sinful, if we make it our highest aim or focus.  Obsessions and Addiction are Placing Anything Before God God's very first commandment to the Israelites in the Old Testament was to have no other gods before Him (Ex 20:3). The Israelites broke this commandment over and over in a very literal sense, worshipping false gods first that they'd grown up with from Egypt, and then the false gods of the nations they encountered in the wilderness and in the surrounding nations of the Promised Land.  Today, most of us don't literally worship false gods, per se (though that's becoming more prevalent too). Rather, we make some desire or worry or need or love the focus of our lives, instead of God.  C.S. Lewis wrote that romantic love (a very common substitute for God) "ceases to be a devil only when it ceases to be a god." The same would go for any other positive good that God created for our benefit--all could become something we seek after, more than we seek after God. That's really a prerequisite for any obsession or addiction.  Jesus told us that if we'd seek Him and His kingdom first, everything else would be added to us (Matt 6:25-34). That's not just our needs, either. God is the giver of every good and perfect gift (James 1:17). If we make Him our primary delight, we'll get the desires of our hearts thrown in (Psalm 37:4). If we're abiding in Him first, we can ask whatever we desire, and it will be done for us (John 15:7). That's what it means, that if we find our lives (make that our primary focus), we'll lose it, but if we lose it for His sake, then we'll find it (Matthew 10:39). The problem is, most of us don't actually believe that.  One of my favorite fictional stories is the Superman myth. It's such a clear parable. (Also, apparently the creators of Superman were Jewish, not Christian, but they based the character of Superman on Moses and Samson of the Old Testament, as well as the prophecies of the coming Messiah. Some of the earlier Superman movies were conscious of the Christ symbolism, as well.) Lois Lane fawns over Superman, while ignoring Clark Kent—not realizing that Superman remains elusive to her only because it's clear that she doesn't really love him; she only loves what he can do for her. If she'd only choose Clark, she'd get Superman thrown in. I think God is exactly like that. He loves us, and He longs to bless us (Psalm 103:1-5), but He wants our hearts, not our actions. He wanted a relationship with Israel, after bringing them out of the wilderness--but they were afraid of Him, and asked Moses to just be His mouthpiece and relay to them what He said (Ex 20:18-19). Even after that, God asked Moses to take seventy of Israel's elders and bring them a little way up the mountain so that they could eat and drink in His presence--even though He was at a distance, He wanted them to catch a glimpse of Him (Ex 24:9-11). He wanted to have dinner with His family. God later made this part of how the Israelites were to worship: they were to bring all their burnt offerings, sacrifices, tithes, and heave offerings of grain to the place of worship, and eat it together in His presence (Deut 12:5-7). He blessed them with increase, and as their act of worship, He wanted them to have a big feast and enjoy it. All He asked was that they invite Him to the party!  Understanding how much God loves us is really the key to faith--faith works though love (Gal 5:6). If we don't understand how much He loves us, we aren't going to trust Him to take care of us and meet our needs (Isaiah 26:3). That's why we'll try to take matters into our own hands, attempting to meet our own needs (as an anxious primary fixation—not as the side benefit of doing our work well for the purposes of glorifying God, Col 3:23-24). But if we do truly put God first, it's the antidote to all anxiety, addiction, and obsession. Willpower ("The Law") Won't Work. That's the Whole Point. Paul describes in Romans 7:14-24 what happens when we try to suppress or control any obsessive or addictive tendency: "For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do… For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.  For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.  Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.  I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.  For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.  O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?  I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin." This describes the experience of every yo-yo dieter, every sugar addict, every alcoholic, or everyone addicted to any other substance or behavior. Paul repeats the same concept in Galatians 5:17: "For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish." You might be able to exert willpower against those things for a time, but the very act of denying yourself actually makes the desire for the thing denied grow stronger. That's what the Old Testament law was designed to do--to make us aware that we were incapable of keeping it, apart from God's help (Romans 7:5-6). Paul addresses the next logical objection: "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, 'You shall not covet.' But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death." (Romans 7:7-10). This is just the way of our flesh: it rebels against any rules placed upon it--even if the rules are neutral, or if you know they're for your good and will achieve a desired end, and even if they're self-imposed. This is the whole concept behind any type of “forbidden fruit.” That phrase itself alludes to the single fruit in the garden forbidden to Adam and Eve, from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, though God had given them so much abundance elsewhere (Genesis 3); the very fact that it was forbidden called their attention to it, making it more attractive. (This is also why, for instance, a perfect recipe for insomnia is to try to will yourself to sleep--the harder you try, the more wide awake you'll be. It's also why trying to suppress any intrusive thoughts will have the opposite effect. “Don't think about a pink elephant"--see, what are you thinking about right now?) Fortunately, the story doesn't end with Romans 7, though. Paul is tracing the story of God's relationship with humanity through successive covenants. Before the law came, He did not impute sin to men yet (Romans 7:8-9), which is why after Cain murdered his brother, God actually protected him (Gen 4:13-15). Yet after Noah's covenant (which was the first to include a command not to murder), then murder was to be punished as sin (Gen 9:5-6). At this point it was the only sin to be called out, though, so it was the only sin that carried punishment, until the Mosaic covenant made the rest explicit. This is the law Paul describes in Romans 7, and the entire Old Testament dramatizes the fact that men are incapable of being righteous by works; that was Paul's point. God wanted us to know that we're incapable in our flesh, so that we'd be aware that we needed a savior to do it for us. That's why Romans 8 follows Romans 7. Romans 7 is all about us (our "flesh") trying to keep the law--any law--by ourselves. By contrast, Romans 8 describes what happens when we have help from the Holy Spirit. "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin... For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ...So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you." (Romans 8:2-11). This is about salvation, yes, but it's also more practical than that. Those of us who are saved can still choose to walk in the flesh (by our own efforts) or we can surrender to God and walk by His Spirit, with His help. This is the main message of Galatians; Paul writes, "Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?” (Gal 3:2-3). Obviously this is rhetorical--but it's clear that even those who have received forgiveness for their sins can choose to return to the efforts of their flesh, if they want to do so. But it will only produce bondage if they do. Paul writes, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage” (Gal 5:1).  Obsession and addiction is the compulsion to obey a master other than God. That's bondage. Paul writes, "Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?" (Romans 6:16). How to Get Free: Walking By the Spirit Paul's juxtaposition in Romans opposite walking in the flesh is walking by the spirit. But the big caveat is that we don't walk in the spirit by trying to walk in the spirit; If we try, if WE try, we're doing it from the flesh. That will never ultimately work, and will likely have the opposite effect eventually. That's how all works of the flesh are. We don't "ask God to do it for us," either, though, because He already did it! He can't give us again something He already gave us. Instead, our part is to acknowledge what Jesus did for us, and thank Him for it. Paul wrote in Philemon 1:6 that Philemon's faith became effective by the "acknowledging [of] every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus." And what has Christ provided? 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new." (Past tense. This is ours in the spirit, but not necessarily in the flesh--we're to work this out in our souls and flesh, with God's help: Phil 2:12). Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." 2 Peter 1:4: "By which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire." 1 Corinthians 2:12-16: "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God... We have the mind of Christ." Phil 4:13: "I can do all things through him who strengthens me." 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." We also have the fruit of the spirit. We don't have to conjure it up (and indeed, we can't), but it's already ours: "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." (Galatians 5:22). We don't strain to live from this place; we thank God that it is ours already (Phil 4:6-7). Our labor now is only to enter that state of resting in what He has already done (Hebrews 4:11). Satan contributes to obsessions and intrusive thoughts, of course--whether they originate with him or with our flesh, it's certainly his agenda to keep us in chains. But thank God, the power of Satan was sin--that was the Old Testament curse, and Jesus redeemed us from the curse (Galatians 3:13). The power Satan has over us now is only the power to deceive us. That's why Paul tells us that when Satan comes to us with lies, we're to fight back with the weapons God gave us, taking every thought captive and making it obedient to Christ (2 Cor 10:5). But they're God's weapons, not ours. In Eph 6:12-18, Paul enumerates them--they are truth (being well grounded in God's word so that we can recognize lies when we hear them, even and especially if they are half-truths), righteousness (understanding that we are righteous because of what Jesus did, not because of anything we do--and that we are righteous already, so can can come boldly before the throne of grace, and expect to receive help in time of need, Heb 4:16), peace (which guards our minds, Phil 4:7), faith (you can't have peace without faith, Isaiah 26:3), salvation (which also means we have the Holy Spirit living in us as our guide), and the sword of the Spirit, God's word. This is the offensive weapon; the only one Paul lists. The Holy Spirit will bring to our remembrance those scriptures we know, when we need them (John 14:26). So the keys God gave us to achieve freedom are to remember that He gave us His Spirit, to thank Him that although we can't free ourselves, He freed us already--and to use the spiritual weapons He gave us to enforce what is already ours. And then, go about the business of God's kingdom. Fixating on trying to solve your problem will only keep you stuck in the loop of thinking you can solve your problem. You can't; but He already did. We can trust Him for the full manifestation of that freedom, just like Jesus told us to trust Him to meet our physical needs (Matt 6:25-34). And he says we get those by going about His business, by seeking after something greater than ourselves. When we do that, Jesus promised that we'd get everything else thrown in.  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

The whole point of Lent is communion with God and each other. We're not meant to be alone. In this episode, Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas look at the Gospel of the First Sunday of Lent (Mk 1:12-15), and how Jesus gravitates to our places of darkness and temptation and unifies Himself with us there. He's unashamed to be with us; He does battle for us, to bring us good news and to heal division. Renewal comes from a preoccupation with unity - allowing ourselves to be unified with Our Lord in the desert, and with our brothers and sisters, changes the game. Join us on Mondays for Season 13: Let's Do Lent Together!

In his enlightening message, "The Whole Point," Pastor Rich dives into the profound depths of 2 Peter 3. He emphasizes the apostle Peter's warning about skeptics who would scoff at the promise of Christ's return. Pastor Rich accentuates the critical need for patience and faithfulness in a world clouded by uncertainty, echoing Peter's assertion that a delay in God's promise isn't a sign of unfulfillment, but a testament to His patience and desire for all to come to repentance.

In this episode Sarah and T take on the topic of e-mail blasts.  Are you doing them?  Are you doing them effectively?    How do you know?  14 specific points are covered in how you can crush your next effort and know exactly how well you did.1) Build up your email list & segment - all previous guests list, potential guests, by season, by type of property, etc. - Every single email you get should be added to a list and segmented.  I recently stayed in a VR with a company. After we booked, they kept sending us promotional emails. Made me wonder if we had a booking! Make sure your upcoming guests aren't sent an email that you are now offering 40% off! - Booking Anniversary to previous guests on their booking date from last year- Type of properties, size of properties, season they visited only?2) Consistent (so you're there when it's time to book) - top of mind. Only way to pull this off is to make your emails interesting/professonal3) Frequency of sending - at least once a month, ideally once a week (TIM & SARAH DISAGREE)4) Not Always a Sales Email - way too many VR emails are like this "20% off for next week!" - think about your own perspective when you get an eblast.5) Types of eblasts - introduce a new property (attracts Lookie Loo's), newsletter format - new restaurants/activities in the area, Resort developments (new gondola), groups of properites/themes, Snow alerts, local partners (make sure you show them they were included), booking anniversary, ...others, TIM? 6) Professional looking, template so recognizable (idea - personalize by showing a person from your team at bottom), highlight properties at bottom, social links, videos, other examplesPaul Hanak from ICND says open rates don't matter! Listen to his reasoning mid-podcast. 7) Call to Action - we always had "book direct & save" at bottom of every single email. 8) Lots of links! Link logo and photos too9) Always include all owners on your emails10) Tracking code to conversion! Follow by email monthly - this is the WHOLE POINT. Don't send an email without tracking conversion. 11) A/B testing - most platforms easily allow you to test everything from subject lines to send times - utilize it!12) Stop gathering emails from "contests" just to have a bigger list. We've tested it! They signed up to win a contest, not to engage with your brand. Open rates are poor, so you wind up paying for all these extra emails without any payoff. Quality over quantity. 13)  Subject Lines are the name of this game. Without a good subject line that captures attention and creates curiosity, that email won't even be opened.  Need some inspiration? Just google "Good email subject lines" and ask ole chatGPT.14) Check and recheck for spelling/grammar errors - everything speaks! (sarah example of "piece") 

Hans von Spakovsky, Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, joins Marc & Kim to discuss the gag order that a judge put on Trump baring him from talking about 'the public servants just doing their jobs'

"The Whole Point of the Podcast is that the Future Isn't Set in Stone" in which we discuss Foundation, S2E05 "The Sighted and the Seen" This week media analyst, Fordham professor, and Renaissance human Paul Levinson joins the conversation! That Beatles reference below, Paul? That's for you. Here's the usual spoiler warning. If you haven't, go watch the episode. We'll be here. Foundation, Season 2 seems to be leaning even harder on comic relief and sexy time than it had been. Still, the plot wanders forward. After a fairly dark opening, we get the comic relief from Gaal, Salvor, and Hari. The beggar crashes into a forest on Ignus reminiscent of Star Trek: Generations. Where's Jordi LaForge when you need him? Salvor yells "I'm flying dead stick!" Hari replies, "Is that bad?" That's pretty funny but it's not the best line. They encounter an old friend and then a crowd of mysterious mentalics. Could they be the nucleus of the Second Foundation? Meanwhile, Sereth and Rue drive their arc forward with the sexy time while the theme of memory is writ large. We learn who was behind the murder of Sareth's Family while Day is becoming more unstable and Demerzel just keeps getting creepier. Rue manages to send Dawn and Dusk on a journey to see the Wizard, which is to say the vending machine version of Cleon the First. Imagine two Junior High School Elvis impersonators meeting the One True Elvis and you have the general idea. Later they're impressed by the size of C-1's... uh... data. It's a lot to digest and we talk about it. You should join us! We can't promise it will help, but a splendid time is guaranteed for all!

The Stoics stood out in Athens. They stood out in Rome. Whether it was Cato walking around barefoot or Cleanthes proudly doing manual labor. Whether it was Seneca practicing his poverty or Marcus Aurelius reading during gladiatorial games, the Stoics were different.It was obvious.

Hello, welcome back! Today I am spilling a secret to manifestation that no one is teaching about.  For money manifesting, you don't need more money mantras.  For manifesting love, you don't need more love journal prompts. In this episode I am breaking down what you DO need to jumpstart your manifestations and it's not what you've been taught. I am also talking about the WHOLE POINT of this life experience and how when we finally get the memo, we tap into magnetism, manifestation and pure potential!  I hope you get the breakthroughs you're looking for - you're doing a great job.   Happy Manifesting!   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE  ✨ The Daily Practice Challenge >> https://taliajoymanifestation.thrivecart.com/daily  

Jack Griffith Shares a message about how loving others is the whole point.

In a conclusion to last week's installment of Law & Order: SVU following nearly a full year later, another rape victim turns up describing an attack an awful lot like our vics described in Part 1. This means Tracy Pollan is back, picking up where she left off, which was getting an Emmy nomination for playing this role. This doesn't yield a second one, but she still rocks in "Closure (Part 2)" and helps give this episode the titular want that last week's left us all wanting while letting us imagine a continuing arc where Harper Anderson becomes Reno Raines, a Renegade on the warpath for vengeance.Sources:What Is the Marital Privilege? - Giovanna A.

The entire point of government is " rule by the people" that's us, we get to decide what we need the government to provide. Because we are all as different as snowflakes, we must choose people and positions to speak for us, that's a daunting task to be sure, but we must do it! It's not as simple as it may seem, and there are more than two political machines to be sure. The original premise was Republic and Democrat, where one says pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and the other says we're here to help.  Who's right who's wrong? It's for us to decide at the polls. There you have it now GO VOTE !!!!!

My friends, this episode is dedicated to anybody who feels guilty wanting physical manifestations, and I'm talking about any kind of physical manifestations. Sometimes Law of Attraction principles sounds like you should just "go with the flow" and give up your real desires. So let's get one thing clear, It is good, worthy, and loving for you to have the physical manifestations you want. The point of this time-space reality is to enjoy physical manifestations! In This Episode You Will Learn About: Why the point of time-space reality is to enjoy physical manifestations. How to want what you want without being attached to it. The beauty of making your own choices in an abundant universe. You live in this world where the universe says you can choose anything you want. Your reason for being here is to have joy, to be on the leading edge of the universe unfolding, to have a good time, to have fun, and that is what JOY is. Here's a preview of the episode: [2:40] It is beautiful for you to want physical manifestations that matter to you. [3:13] You live in this world where the universe says, you can choose anything you want. [4:32] Your reason for being here is to have joy and to have fun. [5:42] It's an incredible privilege to be a conscious being in this world where you've got so many options, and the universe is saying you can choose anything.[6:03] You live in a universe with endless choices, so why don't you choose what you want. [6:23] The emotional manifestation is absolutely a manifestation, and it must be your number one priority. [7:19] Calibrate your energetic internal state first by learning to feel good. [8:22] When you make your happiness conditional on the physical manifestation, that condition is what holds you apart from having what you want. [10:02] It's incredibly liberating when you realize that you don't need anything in your body or the world around your body to change in order for you to have the emotional state that you want, you can decide, and create that within yourself. [10:20] Manifestation is about letting go, it's about being unattached, it's about going with the flow. [11:48] The more you practice those emotional-energetic manifestations, the more you realize that those are literally how you're able to control your destiny. [15:45] You can choose what you want because it is your preference, just because you like it. [18:42] Make choices from your preference, from a space of feeling good about your choice, you liking what you choose. Manifestation is about letting go, being unattached, and going with the flow. Energetic and emotional manifestations are real manifestations. And they both precede the physical. The more you practice those emotional-energetic manifestations, the more you realize that those are literally how you're able to control your destiny.  You may choose what you want to choose and make choices that you feel good about and genuinely like.

Pr. Goodman's back to talk about the things we'll see in church this Sunday. Jesus heals a man with dropsy and teaches about what the sabbath is for.

Sometimes drift comes through the endless pursuit of goals we hope will make us happy. Or it might come as we passively float along the path of least resistance, hoping something motivates us to take action. There are many different ways we can find ourselves drifting through life. We never drift to a destination we have consciously chosen. It's through deliberate movement in the right direction that we get to where we want to go. Sometimes we need to pick up the oars and start gently rowing in a new direction. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, we explore ways we might find ourselves drifting in life. We will think about where we might be drifting right now and how to turn our drifting into repeat blooming. Episode contentsLate Blooming | 5:05Conceptual Types | 10:56Experimental Types (The Late Bloomers) | 11:24Society's Preference | 12:07The Impossible Question | 14:50The Stories We Tell Ourselves About Life's Drift | 18:55A Different Way of Being | 20:13The Treadmill of Pursuit | 23:02Slower Souls and Experimental Trailblazers | 26:45Contributing Factors To A Life of Drift | 30:25Everything Is Breath | 34:10The Top Five Regrets of The DyingStrip Away The Complexity | 38:33Make The Right Thing The Easy Thing To Do | 40:24The End Goal is The Starting Point | 42:07The Waypoints Are the Whole Point | 43:47There's Always a Way Back | 45:21The Return to Serenity Island | 48:32 Late Blooming | 5:05 Do you feel like a late bloomer? "The more I learn about late blooming, the more I think we're all late bloomers. Our society pushes us to achieve early, to all of our detriments. I can remember feeling like a late bloomer in my 20s, and I certainly feel like one now, in the midst of a career change in midlife! Really we should be embracing late blooming, or as I like to call it, repeat blooming. Life just feels so much better when you believe that it has more than one act."Kendra Patterson Late Bloomers don't just approach life at a slower speed. Their orientation to the world is different from what we might consider normal modes of operation. Kendra encourages us to find reassurance in the differences between conceptual and experimental types of people. Conceptual Types | 10:56 Conceptual Types have a clear picture of how they want things to look. They work seductively. In other words, they know where they want to go and have a clear plan. Weinberg and Galenson (2019) looked at the lives of Nobel Laureates in Economics. They found that Conceptual innovators made their most significant contributions to the field in their mid-20s. Experimental Types (The Late Bloomers) | 11:24 Experimental Types start with a step and build incrementally. Often without a clear picture of where each step will lead them. They connect dots as they go. Discovery underpins their creativity. They work inductively (accumulating knowledge from experience). In the research, Weinberg and Galenson found that Experimental types made their most significant impact during their fifties. That's thirty years later than their conceptual peers. The future emerges from a pathway of incremental curious exploration for experimental types. We connect dots and build from one experience to the next. As such, life is naturally slower to unfold and evolve. This is why experimental people are often "late" or "repeat" bloomers. It also explains why experimental types might sometimes feel like we are drifting through life. Society's Preference | 12:07 Society doesn't openly encourage an experimental approach. The effectiveness and efficiency of conceptual thinking are far easier to measure. You either succeed or fail with the goal you have set yourself. Society also celebrates and glorifies stories of youth and early bloomer success. This puts a countdown timer on a person's sense of self-worth. And if we miss the imaginary boat, we might resign ourselves to the belief that our fate is to drift through life instead....

As we conclude the series "Living The New Life" Pastor brings the house down with an amazing message titled "The Whole Point". We hope this message inspires and blesses you!

We've all gone through periods of growth where we shift from feeling on top of the world to second-guessing everything and it can make you believe that you're not disciplined enough or that you don't know what you're actually doing. But… there's one shift that you can do to immediately always know that next aligned action to take and it's exactly what we're covering in today's episode!

Invariably when someone asks me for tips on how to to scary things, they are really asking for ways to make those things less scary and less uncomfortable.When people ask me how to be brave, they are often asking me how to not be so afraid.Both questions are understandable without a doubt. Both both questions are also completely missing one of the foundational concepts of recovery from an anxiety disorder. When we become afraid of how we feel and what we think - when anxiety and fear become the source of more anxiety and fear - the way out of this dilemma is to unmask the irrational nature of this fear. Recovery is essentially learning that while anxiety can feel really scary, there’s no danger and therefore no reason to be afraid in the end.If we accept part of the essence of disordered anxiety as fear without actual corresponding threat or danger, then the way out that pickle is to break the link between the anxiety itself, and the perception of impending doom or harm. When the link is broken we are left with simply experiencing anxiety as an unpleasant and unwanted sensation, but not an emergency.Odds are you’ve been trying everything you can think of to break that link with thoughts, ideas, words, quotes, memes, and soothing techniques. Has that worked? I’m guessing that since you’re reading this, it has not, at least not consistently or for any length of time.Now you’re left with an inconvenient alternative. Facing the fear rather than trying to think or talk yourself out of it. I understand that nobody wants to do that, but we most effectively break that faulty mental link between anxiety and danger by allowing the danger to happen, then seeing that it never actually does. That means facing what you are sure is dangerous (even when it is not), which means being AFRAID. The fear is a key part of the experiences that teach us the lessons we need to learn. Without the fear, we learn nothing, and we remain stuck.So being afraid is not your problem. It’s really the solution to your problem. This means that you have to stop grasping for ways to get around fear or stop it from happening, because you can’t have that and recovery at the same time. Seeing the presence of fear as failure is putting yourself in an unfair and untenable situation, and totally misses the point of why you are trying to do scary things to begin with.It’s not natural or intuitive to welcome fear, or to see it as a teacher or ally. We are wired to see fear as an enemy. Hell, that wiring is part of what created the problem you’re trying to solve right now. But in this case, our way out is to put aside our natural drive to avoid fear … and move toward it. When you make your life smaller and smaller to remain calm and to feel safe all the time, you are stuck. If you are working on your recovery and you are afraid, you are on the right track! Yet another statement that must look downright absurd to anyone not well versed in the mechanics of disordered anxiety. I feel like an absurdity machine sometimes, but there is wisdom in the absurd for folks like us, so let’s embrace it rather than running away from it.Have you listened to this week’s episode of The Anxious Truth podcast?
