Podcasts about withholding

Have you ever used your giving to steer decisions or send a message?It might seem harmless—or even wise—to designate your gift to specific ministries or withhold it when you disagree with leadership. But when our generosity becomes a tool for control, we've crossed a line. In this episode, we'll explore the subtle danger of using giving as leverage—and discover a better way rooted in surrender and trust.A Hidden Temptation in Church GivingLet's be honest—no one likes the word control when it's pointed at them. But in church life, this temptation surfaces more often than we'd like to admit.It might look like this:Giving only to certain ministries because you don't trust how the church allocates general funds.Withholding your giving when a leadership decision—like a staffing change or budget shift—doesn't sit well with you.Designating gifts to specific areas, not out of passion, but as a form of protest.On the surface, it may look like good financial stewardship. But beneath the surface, it's often an attempt to say, “I want things to go my way, and I'll use my money to make that happen.”That's not generosity. That's leverage. And Scripture warns us against it.The Corban Example: A Heart Check from JesusIn Mark 7, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for misusing a practice called Corban—a method of dedicating money or resources to God. While it sounded spiritual, the religious leaders were using it to dodge their responsibility to care for aging parents.As GotQuestions.org explains:“The Pharisees took a legitimate Corban offering and used it in an illegitimate and devious way to defraud their parents…Jesus tells the Pharisees that their misuse of Corban was an evil rationale to avoid doing what they should.”It wasn't the gift itself that Jesus condemned—it was the motive behind it.In the same way, when we give to maintain control or push our preferences, we're following the spirit of Corban. Even if our reasons sound righteous, they can mask a deeper issue: an unwillingness to surrender.From Leverage to Surrender: The Biblical CallThe Bible offers a better vision.Psalm 24:1 reminds us,“The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it.”That includes our finances. We don't give to direct the church. We give because God owns it all—and calls us to steward it faithfully.Consider the example in Acts 4. Believers sold land and possessions, then laid the proceeds at the apostles' feet. No strings attached. No demands were made about how it was to be used. Just trust, unity, and wholehearted surrender.Of course, that doesn't mean churches shouldn't be transparent or held accountable. Scripture calls leaders to wise and faithful stewardship. But giving with strings isn't about accountability—it's about control. And control is the opposite of trust.What's Driving Your Generosity?Ask yourself: What's driving my giving?Is it love for God?Faith in His provision?Worship and gratitude?Or is it something else?Preference?Power?Payback?When giving becomes conditional, it's no longer cheerful—it's contractual. We treat God's work like a business deal instead of a spiritual act of worship.But when we let go of control, something beautiful happens: we find peace. We no longer feel the pressure to manage every church decision. We can give freely, knowing God is at work—even when His ways don't align with our expectations.Moving Forward in Trust and GraceIf you realize that control has been influencing your giving, here are three steps to take:1. Confess it to the Lord. God is gracious and patient. Ask Him to realign your heart with His and help you give from a place of surrender.2. Release your preferences. You don't have to stop asking questions or seeking transparency. But your generosity shouldn't be tied to your personal comfort or preferences.3. Give with trust. Trust God's ability to work through imperfect people. Trust that when you give with the right heart, your gift brings Him glory.Because when we give to control, we place ourselves at the center. But when we give in faith, we put God at the center—where He belongs.A Resource for the JourneyWant to go deeper into the heart behind generosity?

He and his wife are behind on their bills, but we know they also spend on partying and things like marijuana. My husband feels emotionally pulled in, especially when his son talks about possibly losing their home. We want to be generous, but we don't want to enable irresponsible behavior. How can we approach this situation in a way that's wise and biblical?I'd like to assign someone as my power of attorney, but I don't have any family members I trust to take on that role. What options do I have in this situation?Is it wise to purchase life insurance for your children or grandchildren? What are the pros and cons?I'm thinking about getting a reverse mortgage to create some extra income. Can you explain how they work, and whether they're a good idea?

August 2025 Energy Forecast: The Harmonic Month of Refinement – Choosing Resonance Over Residue Welcome to the August 2025 Energy Forecast. This is a month of crystalline precision—not upheaval, but refinement. What once asked to be purged has already left. Now, the focus becomes gentler, quieter, more intentional. This is not about clearing debris—it's about honoring the shape of what remains.Throughout August, you are invited into an advanced layer of vibrational discernment: choosing what resonates over what lingers. Choosing Soul truth over softened truths. Choosing to withhold what is sacred rather than overexpose your becoming. Choosing to move in alignment rather than urgency. This is the harmonic month of refinement—a calibration into clarity.We begin with Theme 1: The Frequency of Refusal, where integrity sharpens through what you no longer allow. Refusal isn't resistance—it is refinement. It is how you choose resonance over residue.Theme 2: Radiance Through Refinement reminds us that strength doesn't always roar. Sometimes, it hums. Power this month emerges through subtleties—through micro-calibrations, inner precision, and the quiet authority of coherence.With Theme 3: Soul Silence, movement may slow, but the signal becomes strong. In this space of sacred stillness, inner instruction amplifies. You are not stuck. You are receiving.Theme 4: Prismatic Core Alignment brings the full spectrum of your Soul online. The lightline becomes color. The tone becomes image. You begin to see and feel your unique Soul frequency, not just intuit it.Theme 5: The Edge of Expression is a moment of sacred risk. What has remained internal now presses outward—through voice, vision, vulnerability. The throat and solar plexus harmonize to let your Soul lead in form.Yet, Theme 6: The Sacred Act of Withholding teaches a parallel truth: Not all that is received must be shared. Energetic privacy becomes a power. Sometimes, the most aligned action is non-disclosure.Theme 7: Harmonic Extraction guides you in removing what no longer fits—not with force, but with gentle precision. This is frequency surgery: releasing without trauma, disruption, or backlash.Theme 8: Timeline Shedding arrives with love. It invites the graceful dissolution of Soul assignments that have reached completion. Not with guilt or fear—but with deep gratitude and readiness.We close the month with Theme 9: Embodied Reverberation—where the refinement becomes rhythm. There is no more input needed. You walk now as the tone you've chosen. Your field carries what you've become.This August is not about initiation. It is about reverberation. Not about force—but frequency. Not about urgency—but purity.You are not becoming new. You are refining what's true.You are not here to rush. You are here to resonate.—

Are you praying for blessings while ignoring God's blueprint? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Eric Thomas exposes the hidden reason many believers stay stuck—it's not a lack of faith or effort, it's being out of order. Using Genesis 1 as the foundation, Eric reveals how God's blessings flow through divine order and why living outside of His structure leads to frustration, chaos, and missed opportunities.

The cut to federal budgets may be impacting more than just the bottom line this summer as many afterschool and summer programs are facing closure due to this freeze of their funding. This leaves many parents and children scrambling for a plan as parents try to find a backup plan. Now nearly two dozen democratic states are suing the Trump administration's Department of Education and Office of Management and Budget for withholding over 6 billion dollars in federal funding for educational funding.

This week, Steven Spielberg's terrifying film Jaws turned 50. Yes, 50. Jaws was released in 1975, and on Friday afternoon I mentioned this on Newstalk ZB and shared how much it affected me when I saw it for the first time. We were having our first big family holiday - Mum and Dad took us to the Gold Coast to see family, and on the first night my cousin thought it would be a great idea to slip the Jaws VHS into the player to entertain his Kiwi cousins. We were there for two weeks to enjoy the beach and sunshine, and I refused to enter the water. I think I may have got in up to my knees at the beach, and then I would ask if we could go back to the apartment complex pool. My parents did not take me to Oz to swim in a pool. Even though I was scared senseless by the film, I was reminded by the chat on Friday that so was everyone else. People were calling to say Jaws had driven them out of the ocean for their entire lives. Not many films leave that kind of impression. It didn't matter that we knew the shark wasn't real. It didn't matter that we knew it was a fictional story. It didn't matter that we knew we were being manipulated for entertainment's sake. Jaws simply had us all on edge in the water. Jaws also created a template many films have followed since. Alien was said to be pitched as Jaws in space, and in Nope, filmmaker Jordan Peele's lead characters are stalked by a mysterious alien presence which doesn't reveal itself until late in the film, much like the great white in Jaws. Withholding the shark's appearance in Jaws until the second hour wasn't intentional, but it worked brilliantly as a tension building device. What the audience conjured up in their imagination was worse than anything Spielberg could deliver. It turned out that Bruce, the mechanical shark, was a nightmare to work with. He hadn't been tested in salt water and often wasn't able to perform. So, Bruce appeared less than expected and also pushed the shoot out from 55 days to 159. This meant the film couldn't open when scheduled, which was just before Christmas in 1974, and the decision was made to release it in the summer of 1975. Jaws didn't just revolutionise the ‘creature' genre. It was the first ever summer blockbuster and changed the way Hollywood releases movies. It also became the first film to cross the US$100 million takes mark at the box office. It was also a disservice to sharks! But as Friday's chat proved, this pop culture phenomenon's biggest achievement is probably that summers have never been quite the same. Thank goodness we get to commemorate the Jaws anniversary in winter. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The central narrative of The Story of the Chinese Farmer powerfully reminds us that what may initially seem like fortune or misfortune can lead to unforeseen consequences. The farmer's unique response of "maybe" to various events illustrates the wisdom in suspending immediate judgment. By refraining from labeling experiences too quickly, we can embrace the impermanence and uncertainty of life. This episode emphasizes mindful acceptance, urging listeners to observe events with detachment from strong emotional responses. Through this practice, we can cultivate a greater sense of personal growth and resilience. Margaret encourages us to incorporate the farmer's mindset into our daily lives, fostering a broader perspective that acknowledges the duality of experiences. What appears to be a setback may ultimately pave the way for unexpected blessings, and vice versa.

A submissive wife must never use sex to manipulate, punish, or control her husband. Withholding intimacy out of anger—or as leverage to get something he can't afford—is not only unloving, it's morally wrong. In marriage, you become one. What is yours is his, and what is his is yours. Physical intimacy is a precious, sacred gift that binds you together emotionally and spiritually. When used rightly, it strengthens your bond. When used wrongly, it creates distance and harm. Give of yourself freely and lovingly. Intimacy should reflect connection, not control. 

Keith Whittington interviews Cass Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School, whose scholarly interests include free speech, constitutional law, and administrative law. He recently authored a paper, “Our Money or Your Life!' Higher Education and the First Amendment,” available here, which explores the First Amendment constraints of federal funding to American universities. Sunstein helps unpack the legal and constitutional questions raised by the Trump administration's strategy of withholding federal grants from schools like Columbia and Harvard to force internal policy reforms. 

A submissive wife should live in full transparency with her husband. Trust is built not only through love and service, but through honesty and openness. There should be no secrets—no hidden habits, private conversations, or locked devices. Your life is not your own; you share it fully with the man you chose to follow. That includes your phone passcode. A godly marriage thrives on unity, not privacy. Withholding access implies distrust. When you live openly, you invite deeper intimacy and stronger connection. Don't build walls—build trust. 

In a world where love is often dismissed as weakness or reserved for “safe” people, Jesus flips the script: love is the strategy of Heaven. In this episode, we unpack what it means to live with love as your superpower—not just when it's easy, but when it costs you something.

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Tom Patten, a London-based US International Tax Partner at PwC. Tom focuses on inbound investment into the U.S. and returns to the podcast for a timely discussion on Sections 891 and 899, two lesser-known but increasingly important provisions in the international tax landscape.  Doug and Tom discuss the resurgence of Section 891 in light of a January 2025 executive order that directs Treasury to identify discriminatory or extraterritorial foreign taxes. They cover how Section 891 operates, potential implications for non-US citizens, and its interaction with treaties. The episode then turns to proposed Section 899 and a new House proposal aimed at modifying the base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT). Tom and Doug examine how these retaliatory measures differ, overlap, and might evolve. They close with practical advice for multinational taxpayers navigating an uncertain legislative environment and the future of Pillar Two negotiations. 

In the name of politeness, we often sugarcoat or dilute the truth, twisting it into something softer that we think the other person would rather hear. Instead of saying what we truly mean, we go out of our way to smooth over situations in hopes they'll land better. Here's the issue: when we start holding back our real feelings, we disconnect from ourselves and others. We step out of alignment with our inner wisdom.  Though society teaches us that maintaining peace is more important than being honest, human beings are meant to express themselves. While we may fear that speaking our minds will lead to conflict, there's nothing more harmful than sugarcoating the truth. Suppressing our true feelings damages our relationships and makes us lose integrity. It's impossible to live fully and authentically when we're weighed down by unexpressed emotions and holding back our true essence. But where does this need for politeness come from? How can we stop withholding and start expressing ourselves honestly?  In this episode, we explore how to break free from sugar coating and embrace genuine self-expression.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Truth is located in the body, not the brain  When we're in integrity, our body sensations will tell us when we're concealing instead of revealing. Why do we need to get out of our heads to gain access to this valuable raw data?  -Withdraw, withhold and project  Withholding our feelings immediately puts us in a state of disconnection. How does it lead to us projecting and turning our problem into someone else's? -Clear the debris  People think withholding is the best way to maintain a relationship. The truth is, the relationship loses its integrity when we're not honest. How do we move through a kerfuffle in our friendships without interrupting the flow of connection?   About Your Hosts Katie Hendricks, Ph.D., BC-DMT, is a pioneer in body intelligence and conscious loving with over 40 years of experience.

In this episode we're delving into the importance of honesty and truth-telling in the healing process after betrayal. We'll talk about the courage required to face one's own truths and the detrimental effects of withholding honesty in relationships, and we'll explore the concept of 'mini betrayals' and how they can lead to larger issues in relationships. Key Takeaways: Honesty is essential for healing and growth. Self-honesty requires courage and vulnerability. Withholding truth creates distance and resentment. Mini betrayals can lead to larger issues in relationships. Facing our truths can lead to clarity and alignment. Silence in relationships often leads to assumptions and disconnection. Truth-telling is a commitment to authenticity. Embracing complexity in truth allows for personal evolution. Avoiding truth can lead to feelings of being stuck. Sharing truths can foster deeper connections with others.

What happens when a prosecutor is so convinced of their own story that they ignore evidence to the contrary? In the latest twist of the Delphi case, Richard Allen's defense team is calling out the state of Indiana for allegedly withholding key evidence—again. This time, they claim an inmate's letters suggest that someone else may have confessed to the murders. Is this just another case of legal maneuvering, or are we witnessing confirmation bias run amok in the justice system? Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins the conversation to break down the psychology behind prosecutors who seemingly refuse to let go of their version of events. Are they just determined to win, or is something more insidious at play? And the bigger question—when critical thinking takes a back seat to blind belief, how does that impact justice for all? #DelphiMurders #TrueCrime #RichardAllen #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers #PsychologyOfCrime #LegalThriller Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode, we explore Meditations 3.11 and its profound insights into how we process and assent to impressions. The Stoics believed that our initial reactions to external events—our impressions—are often flawed, and it's our responsibility to critically examine them before accepting them as truth. This practice is essential for making rational, virtuous decisions instead of reacting emotionally or impulsively. Marcus Aurelius reminds us that true greatness comes from methodically and truthfully testing everything we encounter. This means breaking things down into their essential components, considering their role in the larger universe, and determining what virtue is best suited to respond to them. In a world that often prioritizes personal feelings over objective reality, Stoicism challenges us to cultivate reason and clarity. MEDITATIONS 3.11 “For nothing is so able to create greatness of mind as the power methodically and truthfully to test each thing that meets one in life, and always to look upon it so as to attend at the same time to the use which this particular thing contributes to a Universe of a certain definite kind, what value it has in reference to the Whole, and what to man, who is a citizen of the highest City, whereof all other cities are like households.” THREE TAKEAWAYS — Assenting to impressions requires caution: We should resist the urge to immediately accept our first reactions as truth. Instead, we must analyze the data, break it down, and ensure our conclusions align with reality. — Reason must lead our decisions: Emotions are valuable, but they should be informed by rational understanding. A truly great person is one who sees things as they are and allows reason to guide their responses. — Withholding assent is not neutrality: Refusing to form an opinion does not mean avoiding bias; it is itself an assent to inaction. Stoicism calls us to engage with reality and make rational, virtuous choices based on the best information available. Join The Society of Stoics at https://community.stoicismpod.com.
