The Apostle Paul was moved with such compassion for his unbelieving countrymen that he was willing to be accursed of God for the sake of their salvation. Jesus Christ had such compassion for us that he did go to the cross to be cut off from his Father and was made to be a curse for us to secure our salvation. Does his compassion for you motivate you to reach Jew and Gentile alike with his glorious gospel? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/791/29
Welcome back to another soul-nourishing episode of Magical Moments. In today's exploration, we dive into the often misunderstood difference between being ready and being willing. So many of us wait: For the perfect moment. For certainty. For the fear to go away. For the sign that it's time. But what if life is just waiting for you to say yes? Together, we sit with: Why “readiness” might be a self-imposed delay How willingness invites Spirit into the room The magic that unfolds when we show up — trembling, but open How trust grows through each willing step The simple but life-changing shift from “I'm not ready” to “I'm willing” If you're caught in that space of knowing change is needed but feeling paralyzed by uncertainty, this episode is for you. You don't need to have all the answers. You don't even need to feel ready. You just need to be willing. Let life meet you there.

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.

Pastor Jose teaches how many people will only hear the truth until it departs too much from their natural thinking. God wants us to measure preaching against Jesus, not your natural experience. Audio>
Pastor Jeff Sparkman is back in the Gospel of John, Chapter 15 this week with Jesus' famous teaching on the vine and branches. This passage is about pruning, and how we should respond when God takes things out our life. Willingness to grow and mature in Christ is a necessary part of walking with Him!

If we are disappointed about our success in Christ's work, what shall we say? Shall we not first look for the cause within ourselves? From observation and experience, I have learned to look very hopefully upon dissatisfaction and anguish when they are seen in Christian workers. It gives me no sorrow to see my brethren unhappy and miserable because others are not saved.

Entrepreneur and startup studio owner, Craig Swanson, argues that the ability to embrace being wrong is essential to success in any field. Swanson explains that most people are afraid of being wrong. As a result, they're constantly second-guessing themselves and their ideas, which stifles creativity and innovation.

Amberin Zaman, Al-Monitor's chief correspondent based in Paris and covering major stories on Turkey, the Middle East and North Africa, joins Thanos Davelis to break down what Erdogan's willingness to engage with Kurdish leaders means for this process.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkey's Erdogan says he's ready to meet with Kurds brokering peace with PKKTurkey's Erdogan discusses Russia-Ukraine war, Syria in first official call with TrumpErdoğan's top rival detained, faces block to presidential candidacyTurkey detains Erdogan's main rival on array of chargesJake Sullivan: ‘We worked behind the scenes'

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.

“To suffer is the chronic inability to process unhealed pain. Suffering is a choice.” - Rachel FioriSuffering can cause someone to spiritually awaken. In fact this was the case for Danny. His suffering in life brought him to a place of openness, awakening and a willingness to heal. But along the way he learned, the path of suffering is not necessary for awakening.

In this episode of Sexy Marriage Radio, Pam and I explore the complexities of sexual intimacy within marriage, emphasizing the importance of meaningful connections over mere technique. Particularly when it come to oral sex. We discuss the concept of differentiation, the impact of trauma on sexual experiences, and the dynamics of self-confidence in sexual relationships. Our conversation encourages listeners to engage deeply with their own feelings and reactions, fostering a willingness to change and grow in their sexual lives. Takeaways The goal is to enhance and deepen connections in marriage. Meaningful intimacy is often more desired than mere physical pleasure. Differentiation is key to maintaining self-identity in relationships. Reactions to sexual topics can reveal deeper insecurities and anxieties. Trauma can significantly impact sexual experiences and perceptions. A strong sense of self can lead to more fulfilling sexual encounters. Engagement and presence are crucial during sexual activities. Asking deeper questions about desires can lead to personal growth. Willingness to change is essential for improving intimacy. Understanding one's own needs and desires is vital for a healthy sexual relationship. Enjoy the show! On the Xtended version … Many of us have preconceived notions about oral sex. Put another away, knee-jerk reactions. So how do these reactions impact our ability to experience more pleasure and connection during oral sex? What steps do I need to take to face these?

Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Commitment On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Sheryl Daughety, and Wendy Korbusieski discuss the following questions: Every time I read the story of this particular woman coming to Jesus and asking for help for her daughter, I'm always bothered by the way Jesus responded to her. Can we explain away the fact that Jesus referred to her with a derogatory term? He called her a “dog." What in the world kept this woman from storming off from Jesus after being insulted? T ell us about a time when you have witnessed the incredible love of a mother as she endures difficulty for the sake of her children. What does this passage teach us about commitment in family relationships? What can this passage teach us about endurance and prayer? The reading for the day is: Leviticus 16:29–18:30 Mark 7:24–8:10 Psalm 41:1-13 Proverbs 10:15-16

When we're out of work or want more money to thrive more expansively in our lives, it can be very stressful. Job hunts look daunting. We also may have some troubling thoughts about jobs themselves. In the inquirer who did The Work today, she thought of her past jobs as requiring her to control chaos and worry about others emotional lives, or the job was boring and urgent. Who are we without our beliefs about jobs? How can we live our turnarounds about working. Turning these thoughts about jobs around: Jobs are interesting, relaxed, and unfolding as needed. The inquirer found how she could approach her former job as someone "allowing order" instead of "controlling chaos". Her prescription for happiness. 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.

And she teaches at Oxford University's Business School where she created pioneering courses on trust in the digital age has become an expert on trust in the modern world. She's written three books: What's Mine is Yours, Who Can You Trust, and How to Trust and Be Trusted. Her TED talks have amassed over 5 million views. Notes: Trust is being comfortable with uncertainty. Capability and Character - Assholes are capable people with low character. Demonstrate the ability to take risks. Confidence in the unknown. Healthy challenge and push mentality. Trust willing – Lead with Trust. Make the trust wager. What's the best way to earn someone's trust? LEAD with trust. Trust them first. This also creates a highly attractive company or team. Don't you want to attract highly trusting, capable people? The best way to do that is to lead with trust. Be more trust willing. Lead with Trust. Jim Collins story. Make the trust wager. You don't have to earn it, you got it. Willingness to be a beginner. Be curious. Look stupid at first. Those are good qualities in a leader. For keynote speaking: Share your expertise, but don't seek approval Share your stories, but don't look for validation Share your passion, but don't perform for the applause Don't sell from the stage. Don't show your book. Don't give your resume. Honor the present. If you're running a meeting, start it on time. Honor the people who showed up on time. Leaders who are overscheduled… It's usually their fault and it comes from ego. If you've hired a capable team, then you don't have to be in every meeting. Also, if you're always late, you aren't reliable. And that becomes part of your reputation. That's not something we want to be known for. How can people trust you if you're always late? They won't. You aren't reliable if you're always late. Reliability is a big part of your reputation. It can become the thing you're known for. That's bad. The power of consistency: Intensity makes a good story. Consistency makes progress. Consistency builds trust. Leaders who are overscheduled have a problem they've created for themselves. It's usually from ego. Interviewing leaders for jobs. High character is a must. We can teach capabilities later. Paul Simon's audiobook with Pushkin is awesome. Rachel's five principles for trust: Competence: Having the skills, knowledge, time, and resources to do what you say you'll do Reliability: Being dependable and consistent in your actions Integrity: Being honest about your intentions and motives, and ensuring your words and actions align Empathy: Caring about others' interests and how your actions affect them Consistent action: Earning trust through how you show up, set expectations, and deliver acts of caring Life/Career Advice: Don't get boxed in too early and grow a career based on being able to tell people at parties that you work at a prestigious company. Look for great teams and great bosses. The industry doesn't matter as much as the people. Culture is everything. People are everything. And then when you're younger it's helpful to be a generalist. Know a little about a lot of things. But as you get older, it's useful to become a specialist at something. Become an expert. Go deep on a topic. This is similar to what Mike Maples Jr said on episode #619.
