Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), the first female combat veteran elected to the U.S. Senate and author of Daughter of the Heartland: My Ode to the Country that Raised Me, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the now record-breaking government shutdown, which has become the longest in U.S. history. Sen. Ernst weighed in on the fiery exchange between Senators Moreno and Rosen, where Moreno thrashed Rosen for refusing to acknowledge that Democrats are the real holdouts in the ongoing shutdown, as they are actively holding out votes for a clean CR. Ernst also reacted to the Trump administration's latest military strikes targeting cartel boats in international waters, and she ended the interview by discussing her new bill aimed at selling off vacant federal buildings to save taxpayer money.

Transformative Power: Leadership Willingness to Change In this episode of The TRAITS Podcast, host Mark sits down with Bob Outhwaite, a seasoned leader with a career spanning law enforcement, oil and gas, and executive forums for top CEOs. Together, they explore what truly drives leadership willingness to change—and why this single quality often separates good leaders from great ones. Bob's leadership journey began in the RCMP, where he learned powerful lessons about resilience, accountability, and second chances. These experiences shaped his belief that while personality is naturally resistant to change, willingness remains the greatest indicator that change is possible. From officers to executives, he's seen that transformation doesn't come from pressure—it begins with choice. The conversation dives deep into how leaders evolve through self-awareness and honest feedback. Bob recalls moments where direct but caring feedback challenged him to reflect, adapt, and grow—illustrating how effective feedback can spark lasting transformation. As he shares, “Willingness to change is the only indicator that change is possible.” For him, vulnerability isn't weakness—it's a mark of strength and emotional maturity. Listeners will gain insight into: Why trust is the foundation of feedback—and how to build it with your team. How great leaders foster psychological safety, allowing their people to express honest perspectives. The difference between leaders who only change in crisis and those who evolve through self-reflection. How to identify who's truly coachable in hiring and leadership development. The importance of good counsel—surrounding yourself with people who tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Bob also discusses his work with forum groups—spaces for CEOs and executives to connect, share challenges, and receive unfiltered perspective from trusted peers. His story reminds us that leadership is not about knowing it all, but about being open to learn. Mark closes the episode with reflection questions for listeners: How vulnerable are you? How open are you to change? Who do you trust to give you honest feedback? How do you handle criticism or challenge? This episode will resonate with anyone navigating leadership, change management, or personal development. It's an inspiring reminder that the willingness to change is not just an attitude—it's a leadership advantage.

And they shall take of the blood, and put it upon the two posts and upon the lintel, upon the houses in which they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and things unleavened; upon things bitter they shall eat it. Eat ye not of it raw, and by boiling boiled in waters, but roast with fire; its head upon its legs and upon its midst. And ye shall not leave of it until the morning; and that which is left of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. And thus shall ye eat it: your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste; this is the passover of Jehovah. Exodus 12: 7-11 Arcana Coelestia 7845. “And they shall take of the blood,” signifies the holy truth which is of the good of innocence; “and shall put it upon the two posts and upon the lintel,” signifies the truths and the goods of the natural; “upon the houses,” signifies those things which are of the will of good; “in which they shall eat it,” signifies enjoyment; “and they shall eat the flesh,” signifies the enjoyment of good; “in that night,” signifies along with the damnation of the evil; “roast with fire,” signifies the good which is of love; “and things unleavened,” signifies purified from all falsity; “upon things bitter,” signifies by means of the undelightful things of temptations; “they shall eat it,” signifies enjoyment; “eat ye not of it raw,” signifies that it shall not be without love; “and by boiling boiled in waters,” signifies that it shall not go forth from truth; “but roast with fire,” signifies that it shall go forth from love; “its head upon its legs and upon its midst,” signifies from the inmost to the external; “and ye shall not leave of it until the morning,” signifies the duration of this state before a state of enlightenment in heaven; “and that which is left of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire,” signifies a state of the means for the end through temptations; “and thus shall ye eat it,” signifies enjoyment in a state of separation from the evil who had infested, and preservation then; “your loins girded,” signifies in respect to the interiors; “your shoes on your feet,” signifies in respect to the exteriors; “and your staff in your hand,” signifies in respect to the intermediates; and ye shall eat it in haste,” signifies the affection of separation; “this is the passover of Jehovah,” signifies the presence of the Lord and liberation by Him. AC 7849. The case herein is this: when those who before the Lord's coming had been detained in custody in the lower earth (n. 6854, 6914, 7091, 7828) were to be liberated, they had to be prepared to receive the influx of good and truth from the Lord, for they were to pass through the midst of hell; and lest in that passage evils and falsities should flow in from the infernal spirits round about, they had to be prepared, so that they might then be in a full state of truth and good. But of the Lord's Divine mercy that passage shall be spoken of in what follows. This preparation, or initiation to a state of reception of good and truth, is described by the things which were to be done between the tenth day of the month and the fourteenth day, and which were to be observed in respect to the eating of the paschal lamb. Third Round posts are short audio clips taken from Round 3 comments in the online Logopraxis Life Group meetings. The aim is to maintain focus on understanding the Text's application to the inner life while reinforcing key LP principles highlighted in the exchanges.

La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Lukitananda, Karen Gosal, Maverick, and Maria Delie from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Sirach 35: 12-14.16-18; Rs psalm 34: 2-3.17-18.19.23; 2 Timothy 4: 6-8.16-18; Luke 18: 9-14.TWO VIRTUES INPRAYING The title for ourmeditation on this 30th Sunday in ordinary time is: Two Virtues in Praying. Therewas a young man once shared his story of meeting an old friend who was quite closeto him. To this old friend, a girl, he hoped to really opened a new page oflove. Since he was in serious trouble with his current girlfriend, that meetingindeed served to fill up his empty heart. They always came to the church and seenby many as if intending to pray or to participate in the celebration of theholy Masses. Yet in fact, they just wanted to date all the time. The churchonly became the safe place for them to date and escape from their parents'scontrol. Today our liturgicalreadings give us inspiration about two important virtues in prayer. Theimportance of prayer is something that cannot be taken for granted because it showsthe intention of believers to pray, to make them worthy before God or not. Godsees the intention of our hearts before we want to pray. That intention is in ourminds and purpose of our hearts. The first is the virtueof availability. A person who has awareness, willingness, preparation of selfis the one who needs to pray. His time for God through prayer is irreplaceable.The need for spiritual growth is realized through a constant and ferventprayer. Willingness to worship God through daily prayers and reception of theSacraments becomes part of his life-style. He knows that he needs God, so heprepares himself bodily and spiritually to have a meaningful encounter withGod. The persons of thePharisee and tax collector in today's Gospel reading represent how believershave the opportunity to pray, where they can meet and dialogue with God. We asbelievers have this virtue in common. Faith education in the families, schoolsand churches plays a very important role to make people faithful and devoutedto God. Whereas those who are lazy, boring and avoiding prayer or worship areconsidered the people of weak faith. The second is the virtueof humility. In prayer, the very fundamental condition that believers must obeyis their being humans who come to dialogue with the almighty God, the perfectbeing. The knowledge of God is perfect, therefore, He knows and seeseverything. We are sinners, poor, ordinary people who depend all things on God.If we communicate with God only to affirm our righteousness and even perfectaction just like God himself, it is actually not prayer but a sharing of experiences.The Pharisees did pray in this manner. When we commit to praywith humility, we should follow the tax collector's way who is so sincere abouthimself as a sinner, saint Paul who is grateful to carry out his task to theend, and the poor-ones whose prayers can penetrate the clouds, as our firstreading says. If we humans pray truly in our real situation of life, then Godpleases to be with us and gives what we ask for. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O my good Lord, may this Sunday celebration help us to become good andeffective prayerful persons. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the HolySpirit ... In the name of the Father...

What is HairAid and how can a hairstylist actually change a life in one week? Ambrosia talks with Alannah Zilkowsky (HairAid project lead) and Corey/Hairdustry about HairAid's volunteer-led projects in Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Guatemala. Learn how teams teach core foundational haircuts in less than a week, why graduates can earn income immediately, who can volunteer (you don't need to be an educator), costs and logistics, real success stories, and why many stylists return feeling re-energized and burnout-free. If you've wondered how to use your salon skills for global impact, this is your playbook. Catch the Profit Marker Replay HERE: https://small-kiwi-98108.myflodesk.com/ao7u0l0qzq To learn more about HairAid: https://hairaid.org.au/ 1. HairAid is a volunteer-led charity that teaches core foundational haircuts in less than a week, so people in extreme poverty can earn income immediately. 2. You don't need to be an “educator” to serve basic skills. Willingness to follow HairAid's method, and a servant mindset are enough. 3. Projects operate in countries like Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Guatemala, partnering with local NGOs for lasting impact. 4. Students often experience their first formal education on day one, and by day's end they complete a live one-length cut with guidance. 5. The curriculum covers greeting, tools, sectioning, one-length, V-shape, long layers, round layers, graduated bob, and short cuts (adapted per location). 6. Impact is immediate: graduates open micro-salons, support families, and even return as translators/trainers, creating ripple effects. 7. Volunteers report personal transformation, learning presence, surrender, and gratitude, often returning re-energized and cured of burnout. 8. HairAid's logistics remove guesswork: pre-trip packets, packing lists, cultural notes, training videos, and on-ground induction day. 9. Typical projects host 12–18 volunteers; costs include a volunteer fee plus flights, many stylists fundraise via clients and salon events. 10. Common fears (cost, travel, “am I good enough?”) are normal; pairing with experienced leads and teammates makes it manageable. 11. Service extends beyond the classroom: HairAid supports local social enterprises (hotels, eateries) to uplift the wider community. 12. Post-COVID rebuilding means fewer trips now, with more locations returning; connections on the ground help open future countries. 13. You can contribute even if you're not ready to travel: share the mission, sponsor a volunteer, or connect HairAid to credible local partners. 14. Bringing a spouse or friend is welcome, non-stylists can help with admin, cross-checks, or allied community projects. 1 5. Big picture: teaching a skill changes a life, restores dignity, and builds community, while reminding us why this industry matters.

McKay explores the habits of self-made wealthy individuals in this week's episode of the Open Your Eyes podcast. Drawing insights from such entrepreneurs as Elon Musk, Ingvar Kamprad, Warren Buffett, Lucy Guo, and Chuck Feeney, the episode aims to extract actionable insights from their lives that we all can implement in our own.Noting that wealth is built on key behaviors, not just saving, McKay highlights the power of continuous learning, calculated risk-taking, and an unwavering commitment to a "winning strategy". He also explores the value of "urgency bias," doubling down on talents, and prioritizing time. Throughout this revelatory episode, our host stresses that true worth stems from contribution (as exemplified by Chuck Feeney's philanthropy), and guides listeners to appreciate the significance of these proven habits and cultivate a mindset for prosperity and satisfaction.Main Themes:Successful individuals avoid procrastination and act promptly.Embracing lifelong learning and constantly seeking knowledge is crucial.Willingness to take informed, calculated risks is a common trait.A relentless commitment to a clear, winning strategy sets them apart.They focus efforts and creativity on their greatest strengths.Prioritizing time, often investing money to save it, is key.Hiring and learning from experts is something they do readily.Find true worth and satisfaction in helping others and making a contribution.Entrepreneurial journeys often begin in their teenage years.Top 10 Quotes:"Most people think that great brands like Tesla just appeared, but not so.""Wealthy people are always learning.""Your mind is your greatest asset.""The truth is, you can always make money, but you can't always make more time.""I think most people could have work-life balance if they cut out where they waste their time.""They pay for expertise without hesitation.""The habits of wealthy individuals are not built on secret formulas or mere good fortune.""The compounding effect of such habits can redefine both financial outcomes and life satisfaction."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

In today's Daily Trudge, I'm talking about “The Key of Willingness.” Recovery starts with honesty and hope — but it's willingness that turns those ideas into action. In this episode, I share what willingness really means in sobriety, how it unlocks growth, and ways you can cultivate it when you feel stuck. Whether you're brand new to recovery or have been trudging for years, this talk will give you practical encouragement to keep moving forward one day at a time.

When we have physical pain, it's difficult not to get frightened of doctors, or resentful of life itself or the body. When we're not acknowledged, or we believe someone's blaming us for our behavior, we suffer. Who are we without our stories, and also not falling into passivity or despair? Join a live self-inquiry session inspired by The Work of Byron Katie. We explore how uninvestigated “stories” create suffering—especially around doctors and bad news, physical pain & migraines, being judged or rejected, and needing others to be happy. Through the 4 Questions (“Is it true?” etc.) and gentle turnarounds, participants notice how fear-thoughts like “I don't want this,” “Something's wrong,” “They're rejecting me,” and “I need my partner to be happy” amplify stress—and how clarity returns when we question them. What you'll see: Fear of doctors and “they might find something wrong” “I don't want this pain” (migraines, resistance, fight mode) Courtroom moment: “We didn't cause this” and the sting of not being acknowledged People-pleasing, being “the good one,” and the fear of being seen as “bad” Turnarounds that soften shame, panic, and urgency—and restore compassion If you're curious about self-inquiry, anxiety relief, or how to meet pain and judgment without collapse, this session offers practical, real-world examples. 00:00 – Welcome & setup: noticing a stressful “story” 04:30 – Fear of doctors: “They may find something wrong” 12:40 – “I don't want this” (physical pain & migraine resistance) 22:10 – Courtroom story: “Acknowledge we didn't cause this” 33:20 – Rejection fear: “They don't accept me when I'm emotional” 43:05 – How we react when we believe it (fight, hide, obsess) 54:00 – Who would I be without the thought? 1:03:00 – Turnarounds: to self, other, and opposites 1:14:30 – Pain as messenger; being your own compassionate caregiver 1:22:00 – Closing reflections & next steps Grace Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life. She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year. Learn more about Year of Inquiry at https://workwithgrace.com/year-of-inquiry Grace also has a special love for those suffering from eating issues including disordered eating (disordered thinking) of all kinds--having suffered from this behavior and thought/feeling process herself and finding an unshakable peace within around eating, food, health and behaviors with eating. Grace works with all kinds of compulsions, habits and addictions as they are all the same thing: a pull to some behavior, substance or activity in order to help us with our stressful feelings and thoughts. As Byron Katie offers us (founder of The Work); when we believe what we think, it creates unnecessary suffering. When we question what we think, we feel lighter and less serious about what is. We even begin to laugh. We notice who we really are is peaceful already, a human being living life as best we can--learning, growing, loving. In the public sessions on this youtube channel, we have all-group inquiry sessions called First Friday Inquiry, we have interviews with practitioners of The Work, we have Eating Peace videos (on the eating peace playlist) and we have individual sessions in The Work by courageous people willing to be recorded for Peace Talk podcast and this channel. Thanks to everyone involved in what is shared here on this channel, as it is great service to others in the world who find their way here and who are curious about life without "believing" thought all the time. In all-group sessions and solo sessions, we begin with a judgment...and move into the four questions and turnarounds. Willingness to be real and honest with your thinking is the first powerful step in The Work. No one ever has to share when attending Friday Inquiry, and thank you when you do.

Notably, Charlie's son coached Dart during his time at Ole Miss.

They discuss how Dart's athleticism and leadership could potentially revitalize the offense.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Get behind our through the Bible project. Read more here Project23. Our text today is Judges 5:13–18. “Then down marched the remnant of the noble; the people of the LORD marched down for me against the mighty. From Ephraim their root they marched down into the valley, following you, Benjamin, with your kinsmen; from Machir marched down the commanders, and from Zebulun those who bear the lieutenant's staff; the princes of Issachar came with Deborah, and Issachar faithful to Barak; into the valley they rushed at his heels. Among the clans of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. Why did you sit still among the sheepfolds, to hear the whistling for the flocks? Among the clans of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why did he stay with the ships? Asher sat still at the coast of the sea, staying by his landings. Zebulun is a people who risked their lives to the death; Naphtali, too, on the heights of the field.” — Judges 5:13-18 Deborah draws a clear line between two groups. Group one: On one side are the tribes who stepped up — Ephraim, Benjamin, Machir, Zebulun, Issachar, Naphtali. They marched into the valley without hesitation, shoulder to shoulder, risking everything for God's mission. Group two: On the other side are those who stayed home — Reuben, Gilead, Dan, Asher. Reuben stalled in “great searchings of heart,” paralyzed by indecision. Gilead stayed put across the river. Dan clung to his ships. Asher kept his feet planted on the shoreline. The difference wasn't ability. It wasn't opportunity. It was willingness. In every generation, God calls His people to step up — but not everyone answers. Some run toward the fight. Others cling to the familiar. Some seize the moment. Others think about it until the moment passes. When God calls, the greatest tragedy isn't weakness — it's unwillingness. The tribes who stayed home had the same God, the same history, and the same opportunity as those who stepped up. But they missed their moment because they chose comfort over courage. You and I face the same choice. God's mission is still moving forward. The only question is — will you march into the valley, or watch from the shoreline? ASK THIS: In what areas of life has God been calling you to step up? What “great searchings of heart” have delayed your obedience? Whose courage could grow because you decided to step forward? How do you want to be remembered when God's story is told? DO THIS: Identify one step of obedience you've been delaying. Take it today — even if it feels risky — and trust God with the outcome. PRAY THIS: Lord, keep me from standing on the sidelines when You call. Give me the courage to step up, and the faith to follow You into the fight. Amen. PLAY THIS: "I Will Go."
D-Day was an invasion that broke a fortress. Joshua 1 is God's command to invade darkness with courage and obedience.

Pillars and Practices // Celebrating and Remembering Romans 12:15 (ESV)“Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.” To Do this Requires a Willingness to Enter Intimacy and Connectedness. Philippians 4:12-13 (NIV)“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” Celebrating and Remembering Go Hand in Hand Psalm 103:1-18, 22 (NLT) A Psalm of DavidLet all that I am praise the Lord;with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord;may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sinsand heals all my diseases. He redeems me from deathand crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things.My youth is renewed like the eagle's! The Lord gives righteousnessand justice to all who are treated unfairly. He revealed his character to Mosesand his deeds to the people of Israel. The Lord is compassionate and merciful,slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He will not constantly accuse us,nor remain angry forever. He does not punish us for all our sins;he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. For his unfailing love toward those who fear himis as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from usas the east is from the west. The Lord is like a father to his children,tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For he knows how weak we are;he remembers we are only dust. Our days on earth are like grass;like wildflowers, we bloom and die. The wind blows, and we are gone—as though we had never been here. But the love of the Lord remains foreverwith those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children's children of those who are faithful to his covenant,of those who obey his commandments! Praise the Lord, everything he has created,everything in all his kingdom.Let all that I am praise the Lord.
We heard a testimony about what it means to turn one's life over to God's care, alongside a reflection on Step 3: deciding to entrust our will and lives to Christ. The message reminds us that surrender is not weakness but a bold act of faith—choosing to believe God is able to carry what we cannot. It encourages us to release our fears, lean on God's strength, and take the next step of trust in our own journeys.

What if the scariest story your mind tells… could actually set you free? *This episode includes a live imaginal script. Some words that algorithm may flag as problematic have been muted to prevent issues with the platform. These edits are purely for compliance and do not change the meaning or therapeutic purpose of the script.* In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, Kristina Orlova sits down with Natalia for part two of a four-part series on ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention). Together, they dive into the misunderstood practice of imaginal exposures — a therapeutic tool that helps people face OCD's darkest fears on paper, reclaim power from intrusive thoughts, and build true resilience. Natalia opens up about: • Writing an imaginal script around her most feared intrusive thoughts • How OCD convinced her she could be a danger to her own children • Why telling the “fear story” in detail reduced its power • What it feels like to desensitize through repetition This conversation also dives into: • Why OCD thrives on avoidance and secrecy • How imaginal exposures flip the power dynamic over intrusive thoughts • The role of compassion and creativity in ERP therapy Whether you are navigating OCD yourself or supporting someone, this episode offers clarity, tools, and hope to help you understand ERP and take the first step toward recovery.
This week, Pastor John continued our Unafraid series with a sermon from Judges 4–5, showing us through the story of Deborah and Barak how God works through surrendered hearts.

Our mission is to share hope, not affiliation."About M2 THE ROCK - MICHAEL MOLTHAN:I'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation. I'm so grateful you're here.I started M2 The Rock in 2017 to bring you conversations designed to make you happier, healthier, and more healed. Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose.

Send us a textWhat makes a truly effective correctional leader? In this thought-provoking episode, Michael Cantrell draws from decades of experience to unpack the three essential qualities officers desperately want from their supervisors: knowledge, willingness, and courage.Correctional officers seek leaders who possess deep knowledge about policies, case law, and facility operations—creating a foundation of confidence and security. They need supervisors willing to step up during challenging situations and act as shields, protecting their teams from both unreasonable administrative demands and front-line dangers. Most critically, they require leaders with the courage to act decisively when faced with difficult circumstances.Cantrell explores how successful correctional leaders maintain clear visions that extend beyond themselves, establishing high expectations that motivate their teams toward excellence. He examines how a leader's treatment of others—from subordinates to superiors to inmates—reveals their character and shapes the entire facility's culture. The conversation delves into how effective leaders combat the pervasive discouragement that can infiltrate correctional work by highlighting purpose and meaning. Even when results aren't immediately visible, the work of maintaining public safety represents a vital contribution to society that leaders must continually reinforce.Perhaps surprisingly, Cantrell emphasizes the crucial role of appropriate humor in correctional leadership. The ability to find joy amidst challenges creates resilience against the inherent stresses of the profession and builds stronger connections among team members.Whether you're a seasoned correctional supervisor or aspiring to leadership, this episode provides valuable insights for building stronger, more effective teams in one of society's most challenging environments.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Debi Silber dives into one of the most misunderstood yet essential parts of healing after betrayal: forgiveness. She explores forgiveness from two sides—forgiving ourselves and forgiving others—and unpacks the deep misconceptions that keep people stuck in pain, resentment, and confusion. You'll learn why forgiveness doesn't mean reconciliation, how it affects your physical, emotional, and mental health, and why self-forgiveness is just as important—if not more—than forgiving the person who hurt you. Dr. Debi also introduces the Window of Willingness, a framework to help you determine whether it's safe (or even wise) to rebuild with someone after betrayal. Plus, in honor of National Forgiveness Day (founded by Dr. Debi and held every year on September 1st), you'll hear about the 21-day forgiveness experience that has helped countless people move from pain to peace. If you've been holding on to anger, shame, guilt, or heartbreak—this episode is your invitation to finally let it go.

What if there's a divine "olive leaf" of peace from God, revealing profound truths about Christ, our eternal potential, and how to prepare for His glorious return? This video unlocks D&C 88! Summary: Doctrine & Covenants 88, often called the "Olive Leaf" plucked from the Tree of Paradise, is a comprehensive revelation offering God's message of peace and preparation for the last days. This video delves into its multifaceted teachings: The Light of Christ (88:3-13, 40): Discover Jesus Christ as the omnipresent "light of truth," the "other Comforter," and the very "life, law, and power" that governs all things in the universe—from the sun and moon to the earth itself [cite: 88:6-13]. This light enlightens our understandings and helps us see everything else, truly revealing that "light cleaveth unto light" [cite: 88:40]. The Spirit and the Body (88:14-20, 28-31): Learn the profound truth that "the spirit and the body are the soul of man" [cite: 88:15], emphasizing the vital importance of the physical resurrection for a fullness of joy. We explore how even "Mother Earth" will be sanctified and crowned with glory, prepared for celestial beings, and how our resurrected bodies will be quickened by the glory we are willing to receive [cite: 88:17-20, 28-31]. Willingness to Receive (88:32-33): Understand that God gives according to our willingness. We often limit the infinite goodness of God by our own unwillingness to open our arms and hearts to His gifts, preventing us from rejoicing fully in both the gift and the Giver [cite: 88:32-33]. The Power of Law (88:22-26, 34-39): Explore how divine law governs, preserves, perfects, and sanctifies all things. Only by abiding in celestial law can we abide celestial glory. The earth itself serves as an example, fulfilling the measure of its creation by obeying celestial law [cite: 88:25-26, 34]. Every kingdom in the universe operates by its own specific laws, emphasizing that there's no escaping the principle of law [cite: 88:36-39]. A Universe of Other Sheep (88:45-62): Gain an expanded vision of God's vast creations. Through a profound parable, learn that Christ not only created and redeems "worlds without number" but also visits them all in "his hour, and in his time, and in his season" [cite: 88:56-58]. This highlights God's personal attention to all His children across the immensity of space. House of Glory (88:87-120): Discover the Lord's blueprint for preparing for the Second Coming. This includes a call to solemn assembly, diligently seeking wisdom from "best books" by study and faith, and organizing and establishing a "house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God" – ultimately referring to the Temple and its transformative power [cite: 88:117-120]. The School of the Prophets (88:77-81, 122-133): Understand God's command to teach one another diligently the doctrine of the kingdom, encompassing both religious and secular knowledge. This "celestial curriculum" prepares us to "magnify the calling" whereunto we are called and to warn our neighbors. The video concludes with the beautiful order of the School of the Prophets, emphasizing that true education is a relationship built on prayer, salutation, and an "unchangeable" bond of charity [cite: 88:77-81, 122-133]. This video is a powerful invitation to embrace God's expansive truths and prepare ourselves for the glory that awaits. Call-to-Action: Which aspect of D&C 88 resonated most deeply with you?
