Do you remember when you first accepted Jesus into your heart? How did your life change? Confessing your sins and accepting Jesus might have been the easy part of being “born again.” The harder part is navigating the life changes that come with following Christ. Some of your long-time friends may not understand how the Holy Spirit is reshaping your heart and desires. Today, Pastor Ken explains how your life transforms when you accept Jesus and what it means to grow in your faith as a believer.

Antiandrogen withdrawal is an historically well described phenomenon where prostate cancer patients experience PSA responses AFTER stopping their anti-androgen. But does this happen with today's 2nd generation antiandrogens?

Did you know that as children of God, you're called to live by a specific set of standards? The good news is that these standards are clearly outlined in Scripture, and it just takes obedience and a willing heart to follow them. In today's message, Pastor Ken explores the standards God calls you to live by, and how the foundation for a relationship with God is simple. As Paul writes in Romans, “If you confess Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Renowned Israeli historian Benny Morris joins The Winston Marshall Show for a piercing and provocative conversation on the origins of the historic conflict between Israel and Iran — and why the West still doesn't understand it.Morris dismantles the popular narrative that Zionism was a colonial project, explaining how Jewish statehood was born out of historical necessity, persecution, and repeated rejection by Arab leaders. He charts the trajectory from 1948 to October 7th, tracing a consistent refusal to accept Israel's existence.They explore the role of religion in the conflict, the enduring power of jihadist ideology, and the failure of peace processes built on Western illusions.All this — Middle East myths, Hamas, U.S. naivety, and why history keeps repeating itself in the Holy Land…See the extended conversation here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 Introduction 2:05 Iranian Regime's Messianic Outlook and Historical Context 10:33 Islamic Conquests and Jewish Communities 15:59 Shia Islam and Relationship with Jews 20:05 Iranian Revolution and Relations with Israel 30:08 Development of Iranian Proxies 39:14 JCPOA Deal and Its Implications 50:57 Trump's Withdrawal from the JCPOA 55:26 Impact of the 2023 Conflict on Iranian Proxies 1:13:26 Future of Hamas and Palestinian Resistance 1:24:00 Netanyahu's Image and Israel's Conflict with Iran 1:26:33 The Hostage Situation and Hamas' Ideology 1:29:31 Hamas' Demands and Netanyahu's Response 1:30:56 Hezbollah's Weakened Position and Israeli Operations 1:33:30 Potential Outcomes of the War with Iran1:36:20 Regime Change and Future Relations with the Islamic World Hosted on Acast.

Life isn't always fair! Thankfully, our God is not only fair, He's also merciful. Like a loving Father, God sometimes has to discipline us when we make mistakes. Often, this discipline can take the form of allowing a trial or hardship to continue in our lives. But His goal is always the same: to draw us closer to Him. In today's message, Pastor Ken shares how God sometimes has to work a little harder to get our attention, just like He did with the nation of Israel, which was stubborn and ignored His warnings.

Whether to buy a house or go to college are major financial decisions, but so is deciding when to take Social Security.It's true—tens of thousands of dollars, if not more, are on the line when deciding when to start Social Security benefits. Eddie Holland joins us today to help make the decision easier.Eddie Holland is a Senior Private Wealth Advisor and partner of Blue Trust in Greenville, South Carolina. He's also a CPA, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), and a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®).A Common Recommendation—But Not a One-Size-Fits-AllWhen it comes to retirement, one of the most common questions people ask is: When should I start taking Social Security benefits? It's a vital decision that affects not only your income but also your long-term financial strategy and even your legacy.It's generally recommended to wait until at least full retirement age (66 or 67), but that doesn't mean it's the best choice for everyone. While delaying Social Security allows your benefits to grow up to 8% annually after full retirement age, thanks to what's called a delayed retirement credit, we must remember that each situation is unique.Six Key Factors to ConsiderHere are several factors that should guide your decision:1. Reduction vs. Growth of BenefitsTaking Social Security early reduces benefits. Delaying past full retirement age increases benefits. That tradeoff is foundational to your strategy.2. Cash Flow NeedsIf you retire before full retirement age and need income, you might begin drawing Social Security early to meet immediate needs. Some people may need to pay off debt or cover living expenses.3. Charitable Giving GoalsInterestingly, some retirees choose to take Social Security early in order to increase their generosity. Some people start taking benefits specifically to give more, either during retirement or as part of a legacy plan. 4. Health and LongevityYour health and family history play a significant role. If you don't expect to live well into your 80s or 90s, you might opt to draw earlier. But if you're healthy and expect a longer life, delaying could offer more value over time.5. Legacy and InheritanceYou can't leave your Social Security benefits to heirs, but you can leave your investment portfolio. This means some people opt to draw Social Security sooner in order to preserve their portfolio for giving or inheritance purposes.6. Tax PlanningSocial Security benefits can be taxable depending on your income. Some people delay benefits until a year they anticipate being in a lower tax bracket, strategically minimizing the tax impact.A Bonus Strategy: The “Mulligan”In some cases, there is a lesser-known but potentially powerful option: the withdrawal application.If you start taking Social Security before full retirement age and change your mind within the first 12 months, you can actually ‘undo' it.” You'll need to repay the benefits you received, but the Social Security Administration treats it as if you never started. You then have the option to restart at a later date, potentially at a higher benefit.This strategy can be especially useful during periods of market volatility when withdrawing from your investment portfolio might not be ideal.The Bottom LineThere's no universal right age at which to begin drawing Social Security. It really depends on your personal situation—your income needs, health, tax strategy, and goals for generosity and legacy.Wise financial planning starts with understanding your options and aligning those choices with your values and calling.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:How much is enough? My wife and I have 10 properties, including the one we live in. Because of COVID and a flood, I've been rehabbing them for the last few years. My wife is 71 and still working, and I'm wondering if we should continue fixing them up to maximize profit, or we should just hold them as they are, even if we get less money.I'm near retirement with $2 million saved and a good pension. Should I spend $3,300-$7,600 on a $20,000 term life policy, or is it unnecessary given my financial situation?I have assets but don't work. Can I gift my RMD to my church and not have it counted on my income tax for 2026?I'm taking early retirement from the government, and I'm wondering about what to do with my thrift savings.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Social Security Administration (SSA.gov)Blue TrustWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

That one treatment changed everything. Today, she's helped thousands walk away from addiction and reclaim control over their lives.We dive into how cold laser therapy works, why traditional methods like nicotine patches and prescription meds fail long-term, and why dopamine, not willpower, is at the root of almost every addiction.We also talk about why most people relapse even after “success,” and how Meridee's approach rewires your brain to make sobriety feel natural.If you've ever wondered what it takes to break a lifelong habit, this one will change the way you think about addiction."Addiction isn't the problem. Addiction is the solution, and the problem is feelings we don't want to feel." ~ Meridee HlokoffAbout Meridee HlokoffMeridee Hlokoff is the founder of LaserQuit, a leading cold laser therapy program helping people end addictions without medication or withdrawal. After quitting smoking herself through this therapy over 13 years ago, she became certified and went on to develop her own unique protocol, one that now boasts a 95–98% long-term success rate. Meridee works with clients battling addictions to nicotine, alcohol, food, porn, stress, phones, and more.Resources:➡️ Learn more about the molecule behind the longest life extension in history at https://MyVitalC.com Connect with Meridee:- Website: https://laserquit.net - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sobercoachmer Connect with Chris Burres:- Website: https://www.myvitalc.com/ - Website: http://www.livebeyondthenorms.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisburres/ - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@myvitalc - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisburres

Most people assume the “safe withdrawal rate” for retirement (or early retirement) is 4%. But, if that's the case, why is it SO hard to find anyone who's gotten to their FIRE number, quit their job, and lived entirely off of the 4% rule? If the 4% rule is so safe and backed by solid math, why are so few FIRE followers confident enough to actually use it? We don't know. So we asked Karsten, AKA “Big Ern,” from Early Retirement Now to help answer! Karsten has done the math, and the 4% rule checks out. But even he, an early retiree, doesn't follow it. So, instead of the safe withdrawal rate, what's the comfortable withdrawal rate early retirees should be following to FIRE on time and with less stress? And with turbulence in today's stock market, and rising prices (which cause your spending to rise), what does the right FIRE portfolio look like? Karsten walks through how your portfolio should change as you approach FIRE. He explains why hedging with cash-flowing assets may be a smart move, how much cash to keep on hand, and whether those reserves can actually protect against sequence risk. Plus, should you pay off your mortgage on the path to FIRE? Scott and Karsten offer two different perspectives on whether it's smarter to pay off your mortgage or invest that money instead. If you're planning to FIRE, this is info you need to know! In This Episode We Cover Is the 4% rule math or myth, and why doesn't anyone actually trust it enough to use it?

Do you want to live a life free of steroids? Today's episode will explain what Topical Steroid Withdrawal is and how homeopathy can help.  Tracy White is a licensed and registered homeopath practicing in the UK. She is the Co-Principal of the South Downs School of Homeopathy, which offers a fully accredited 4 year training course. She is passionate about the next generation of homeopaths and feels it's a privilege to be part of that journey.

Emotional disconnection doesn't always come with a dramatic exit — sometimes it shows up as silence, passive effort, or that gut feeling something's missing. In this episode, we explore the subtle signs of emotional withdrawal, why it's not always rejection, and how to stop taking it personally when someone just isn't invested.

However, according to Lummis, the Fed's actions are superficial because they still use reputation risk when supervising banks. Lummis also says the Fed hasn't withdrawn the policy that deems Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto as unsafe and unsound. She also says the Fed openly disregards the law when it comes to crypto banks applying for master accounts, which is the record of the account holder's financial rights and obligations with respect to the administering reserve bank.

United States Notes were issued in various denominations ($1, $2, $5, $100) until 1971, but their role diminished as Federal Reserve Notes became the dominant currency. By the 1930s, Federal Reserve Notes were the primary form of paper money due to their widespread acceptance and the Federal Reserve's control over monetary policy. Phasing Out United States Notes: The production of United States Notes continued in limited quantities, with the last significant issuance being $100 notes printed between 1966 and 1969 (Series 1966 and 1966A). Their issuance was officially discontinued in January 1971, as Federal Reserve Notes adequately met the nation's currency needs. By 1994, United States Notes were formally retired, though they remain legal tender Political/Rights https://twitter.
