Jesus Christ is not merely part of history—He is its focal point, the Beginning and the End, worthy of all glory, honor, majesty, and praise. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to John's extraordinary vision of the glorified Christ in Revelation. Jesus stands among seven golden lampstands representing His churches, reminding us that the Church exists to shine His light faithfully into a dark world. John sees Christ in overwhelming majesty: clothed with authority, perfectly holy, seeing all things, speaking with supreme power, and prepared to judge with righteousness. His Word penetrates the deepest places of the heart, and His face shines with glorious brilliance. This is the risen Lord who knows His Church completely—and whose return should shape how we live today. That urgency lies behind Christ's messages to the seven churches of Revelation. His words include warning, correction, encouragement, conviction, and invitation. And one of His most searching challenges concerns our love for Him. It is possible to defend Biblical Truth, pursue good works, and still allow our affection for Jesus to grow cold. Accurate theology and faithful service can never replace wholehearted love for the Savior Himself. If your love for Christ has weakened, His invitation remains open: confess, repent, and return. Rekindle your first love, order your life in light of eternity, and live today with the joyful expectation that your glorious King could return at any time. Let us pray. Lord Jesus, forgive me for setting my eyes on the things of this world rather than You, my Redeemer. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

What happens when taking care of someone else slowly requires you to disappear from your own life?Family caregiving rarely arrives according to plan. A diagnosis changes. A parent declines. A spouse becomes dependent. Roles reverse, schedules collapse, and someone quietly becomes responsible for another human being twenty-four hours a day.Amy and Monica Vest Wheeler explore the realities behind caregiver burnout, unpaid caregiving responsibilities, and the pressure to keep performing at work while privately carrying grief, medical decisions, and exhaustion. For many working caregivers, the strain is not only emotional. It can affect income, career stability, health, and the ability to remain in the workforce at all.Monica challenges the assumption that families should simply absorb this responsibility without consequence. The conversation turns toward workplace support for caregivers, the limitations of rigid bereavement and leave policies, and why flexible work for caregivers can be an act of both humanity and good leadership.Support can also begin closer to home. Another family member learns the care routine. Someone finally says what is really happening. A caregiver stops answering “fine” and allows another person to help carry the weight.Caregiving can be an expression of extraordinary love. But love does not make a person limitless. Sustainable care requires us to protect the life of the person receiving care without sacrificing the life of the person providing it.Moments That Create Momentum:When the Caregiver Becomes Invisible – Explore how responsibility for another person can consume so much emotional and physical energy that the caregiver's own needs quietly disappear.The Workplace Mask Caregivers Learn to Wear – Understand why employees may appear composed and productive while privately managing grief, medical crises, and round-the-clock caregiving responsibilities.Why Flexibility Is More Than an Employee Perk – Discover how small adjustments to schedules or work location can help organizations retain experienced employees instead of losing them to caregiving demands.The Cost of Keeping Caregiving a Family Secret – See how shame, privacy, and poor communication can leave one person carrying responsibilities that could be shared across family, friends, and community.Your Life Is Just as Worthy as the Person You're Caring For – Hear why caregiving cannot require complete self-erasure, and how protecting the caregiver may ultimately protect the person receiving care too.About the Guest:Monica Vest Wheeler speaks with heart, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, helping caregivers, families, and communities navigate some of life's most difficult moments. Her work is rooted in lived experience, including hundreds of interviews, volunteer work at more than 180 stroke and brain injury camps nationwide, facilitating hundreds of support and discussion groups, personal caregiving journeys, and her own openness about mental health. She has written more than a dozen books on Peoria, Illinois, history, along with five books exploring health, grief, and the emotional realities families face during catastrophic life events.As a writer and presenter, Monica is unafraid to address the questions many people avoid. She brings truth, warmth, humor, and practical clarity to conversations about caregiving, grief, communication, and emotional survival. Her work gives caregivers permission to ask for help without shame, encourages patients and survivors to express what they are experiencing, and reinforces one of the lessons she has seen repeatedly: families who communicate are more likely to stay connected through crisis rather than fall apart.https://www.monicavestwheeler.comhttps://www.facebook.com/monicavestwheelerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/monicavestwheeler/About Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this August 31st episode, Heather guides us through Ezekiel 12–14 and Revelation 5. In Ezekiel, we encounter a people who have become resistant to God's voice. The prophet acts out the coming exile, carrying his belongings through a hole in the wall as a sign of what is to come. False prophets continue offering comforting illusions, while hidden idols have taken root within the hearts of the people. Yet God continues to speak. Even amid rebellion and judgment, he calls his people to turn away from their idols and return to him. Then, in Revelation 5, John sees a scroll sealed with seven seals. No one in heaven or on earth appears worthy to open it, and John begins to weep. But an elder tells him to look again. When John looks, he sees the Lamb. Jesus steps forward on behalf of a broken and rebellious world. Through his self-giving and forgiving love, he opens the way toward healing, restoration, and new creation. The sorrow of John's first look becomes the worship and new song of a countless multitude. Today's devotion encourages us to keep looking. When our first look brings only grief, confusion, shame, or despair, we are invited to look again and see the Lamb who has stepped forward for us. TODAY'S DEVOTION: At first look, you might weep. But you need to look again. We look for answers to the judgment that life is sure to bring, the rebellion that is present in every human heart, and the destruction that comes from our own selfish ways. When we take that first look, we may weep because we cannot see an answer. John could not see an answer either. He wept because he recognized that he had no answer within himself. No one had been found worthy to open the scroll. No one had stepped forward on behalf of this broken and rebellious world. John wept for himself. He wept for his people. He wept for the world. But an elder stopped him and told him to look again. In this second look, John would see the answer. And the answer was not what he expected. The answer was the Lamb. The elder said, "Stop weeping. Look." The Lamb steps forward to take the scroll that represents the judgment this broken and rebellious world has brought upon itself. He is not forced forward. He is not pushed or compelled. He steps forward willingly because of the love he has for his broken world and for broken people like you and me. The Lamb is the only one who can answer the judgment we have brought into this life. The scroll was nailed with him to the cross. There, he answered the accusations written against humanity. He did not answer violence with greater violence. He answered it with self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. That is what we are invited to look at again. Then John is told to take a third look. In this third look, he sees all that the Lamb has accomplished by stepping forward. He sees people from every tribe, language, people, and nation. Countless millions surround the throne, worshiping and adoring the Lamb. So keep looking. When you cannot see an answer through your tears, keep looking. When your first look reveals only rebellion, judgment, suffering, and loss, look again. You will see the Lamb. He alone is the answer you are looking for. He is the answer to your despair and shame. He is the answer to your broken heart and your regrets. He has stepped forward for you, out of love, to do what he alone can do. And then look a third time. You will see that the Lamb has stepped forward for countless millions of others, broken and rebellious people just like us. He is making them new. He is restoring their hearts. He is drying their tears. He is giving them a new song. Worthy is the Lamb. May God enable us to sing this new song today. May he give us eyes to look, and look, and look again. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Bobby compared LSU's Week One test against Clemson to the Saints' opener in Detroit.
Ephesians 6:10-20Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.Genesis 3:15I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.Psalm 2:8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.Revelation 2:25-26Only hold fast what you have until I come. The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations,Matthew 5:5Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.then 28:18Romans 4:13For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.Revelation 5:9-10And they sang a new song, saying, Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.Philippians 2:25I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need,2 Timothy 2:3-4Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.John 15:19If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.Romans 8:7For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.Galatians 5:17For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.Matthew 16:18And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.2 Corinthians 10:3-6For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
Send us Fan MailA strong angel shouts a question across heaven that still confronts us today: who is worthy to open the scroll? We dig into Revelation 5 and follow the logic all the way down. Strength does not make someone qualified, spiritual rank does not unlock God's counsel, and no created being, not the best saint, not the greatest prophet, not the highest angel, can unseal the plan that governs redemption and judgment.From there we connect worthiness to the Bible's diagnosis of humanity. Psalm 14 lands like a verdict, and the stories of Jeremiah and Moses show the right posture before God: not self-confidence, but dependence. God puts His word in the mouths of His servants, which means the messenger never becomes the source. That sets the stage for a deeper conversation about God's sovereignty, the hardest parts of providence, and why the language of God merely “allowing” what He did not ordain can quietly undermine trust in His promises.We also tackle the tension many people feel: if God orders all things, what do we do with evil, tragedy, and moral responsibility? We argue from Scripture that God's decree never creates a loophole for human guilt, and human choices never create a loophole in God's rule. Finally, we apply Revelation 5 to modern claims of continuing revelation, calling out systems built on visions, prophecies, and extra-biblical authority, and insisting that only Christ is worthy to reveal and to carry God's plan to completion.Subscribe for more Bible-rich conversations, share this with a friend who wrestles with sovereignty and suffering, and leave a review with your biggest question about Revelation 5.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
Send us Fan MailA sealed scroll. A throne room blazing with majesty. A man weeping because it looks like no one can move history forward. Revelation 5 is not soft or sentimental, and our conversation treats it that way, with awe, tension, and a surprisingly practical focus on fear, suffering, and hope.We walk through the scene where John sees the scroll and feels the weight of it: God's plan of redemption, judgment, and victory. We talk about why John's tears make sense, why the church's assurance depends on the scroll being opened, and why Christ's worthiness is not a small detail but the center of worship. Along the way we challenge the modern habit of treating “revelation” as private, recreational spirituality, insisting that biblical revelation has a purpose: to authenticate God's message and to anchor God's people.Then we ask the question many believers whisper and many skeptics shout: if God is sovereign, why does He allow what's happening in the world? We explore how Revelation speaks directly to that question, and what fills the vacuum when people reject divine revelation. Luck, chance, fortune, empire worship, fear-driven conspiracy, and giving evil more credit than it deserves all rush in when God's voice is ignored. We close by pressing the personal application: if we are in the hands of an almighty God, what do we actually have to fear, and what kind of discernment comes only through the Holy Spirit and the new birth?If this helped you breathe again and think more clearly, subscribe for more, share it with a friend who's wrestling with fear, and leave a review so more listeners can find the series.

Send us Fan MailA sealed scroll sits in the right hand of the One on the throne, and John's vision in Revelation 5 forces a question most of us try to avoid: what if nothing in history is accidental. We take that image seriously and trace what it means for the way we read the news, process suffering, and handle the fear that spikes when the world feels unstable. If you've ever wondered whether God is reacting to events or actually ruling over them, this conversation aims straight at the nerve. We unpack why the scroll is written on both sides, why that detail points to completeness and certainty, and why the “right hand” language signals real authority and power. Along the way, we address the pushback people raise when they hear strong claims about God's sovereignty: if everything is decreed, why preach, why pray, and why act at all. Our answer is simple and demanding: God appoints means as well as ends, and obedience matters because God commands it, not because we are negotiating with him. Then we slow down at the seven seals and the strong angel's public challenge: who is worthy to open the book and loose the seals. Revelation 5 is not ultimately about human speculation, political insight, or secret knowledge. It is about worthiness, mediation, and the only One qualified to reveal and bring God's purposes to fruition, the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

Send us Fan MailJohn's tears hit different when you realize what's at stake: if no one is worthy to open the scroll, then history stays sealed, hope stays locked, and we're left with self-salvation and self-worship. We sit in Revelation 5:5 and let the elder's words do their work: “Weep not” because the Lion of the tribe of Judah has prevailed.We slow down on two big claims that shape everything. First, Jesus alone opens all seven seals, not one seal here and another seal there. That detail isn't trivia; it guards the exclusivity of Christ and shuts the door on the idea of multiple spiritual authorities and multiple roads to salvation. Second, “prevailed” is not about theatrics or secret insight. We talk about the cross at Calvary, the suffering Servant, the resurrection, and how Christ's finished victory makes him worthy not only to reveal God's plan but to execute it.We also anchor the titles “Lion of Judah” and “Root of David” in the Old Testament (Genesis 49 and Isaiah 11), unpacking why Jesus can be both David's source and David's offspring. The result is not more speculation about Revelation, but more assurance: the sealed history of the world is administered by the crucified and risen King, and that is meant to comfort God's people.

As women, there are SO MANY things we're supposed to care about:Every notification wants our attention.Every problem wants our concern.Every opportunity wants a yes.Every algorithm has something new for us to be outraged about.Every industry has another thing we should be learning, creating, posting, optimizing, or improving.And sometimes we confuse being a Loving, caring, spiritually awake person with being available to all of it.This month, in the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar, the Holly tree has been teaching me about what happens when we STOP scattering our energy.And with eclipse season and Virgo season bringing their own flavors to the mix right now, this feels like an especially aligned moment for what I'm calling a Devotion Audit.Sometimes growth looks like becoming more devoted.But also sometimes it looks like realizing:I don't actually care about this anymore.I don't believe this anymore.I don't want to spend my Life force here anymore.This isn't mine to carry.If this is vibing, make sure you press play on this episode, and share it with another sister who needs it!

What if you didn't have to change anything about yourself to be worthy? In this episode, I talk about why so many of us believe we have to earn worthiness through our actions, accomplishments, or the changes we make. But worthiness doesn't come from your circumstances, your past, or what you do. It comes from the way you think about yourself.I share why feeling worthy isn't something you achieve after you quit porn or create the life you want, but something that helps you create those results. When you operate from a belief that you are not enough, shame keeps you stuck. When you learn to believe that you are worthy right now, you can show up for yourself from a place of love instead of trying to prove that you are good enough.You'll learn why worthiness is not dependent on your actions, how changing the way you see yourself can change the way you approach quitting porn, and why believing you are enough can become the foundation for meaningful change. This episode will help you practice seeing yourself through a new lens and recognize the possibility that your struggles do not change your worth.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://centerforovercoming.com/post/youre-worthy-right-nowMentioned in this episode:FREE TRAINING on August 27: Everything You Were Taught About Quitting Porn Kept You TrappedEverything You Were Taught About Quitting Porn Kept You Trapped - Once you see why, you can finally break the cycle and feel free again.

A valley in Israel has been named Trouble since the day a man's hidden sin cost the nation a battle — so why does God promise to turn it into a door of hope, and what might an ancient copper scroll reveal is still buried beneath that very ground?

Carl and Mike get into some Braves talk as they give props to Matt Olson and agree his numbers all across the board are worthy of MVP considerations and his play is what the Braves need from other players as well to get to the World Series. They then get back to Falcons talk and agree that there was nothing worth feeling positive about in regards to the product the team put on the field in their preseason opener against the Broncos.
Worship isn't just the song service, and this episode opens the throne room of heaven to prove it, where four creatures covered in eyes guard a covenant God made with Noah, and where a strange encounter at Qumran leaves Jim Scudder asking whether we're nothing more than mammals.
Worship isn't the songs - it's all of you given in glory to God. Over six weeks, we're tracing what it means to bring your whole self to God: heart, soul, and strength, in private and in a room full of people, when you feel it and when you don't. This is an invitation to stop treating worship as something you attend and start living it as a whole life.Join us for the third week of our Worthy series.Follow @thisisfoundry on social media for updates.Want to learn more about Foundry?

What names do you allow the world to define you by? Unworthy? Unwanted? Unlovable? These are not the names that God gives us. The world will try to label us by our failures, wounds, or our past, but God sees us differently. He replaces the false names with new names—true names that speak of who we are in Him. Worthy. Chosen. Loved by God. In this message, Hosanna Wong shares why we don't need to accept what the world says about us, but embrace who God calls us to be.
Aug. 15 & 16, 2026 - A Worthy Walk With JesusPastor Ed TaylorEphesians 4:1-2 | Study #14918EPHESIANS
One April afternoon, millions gathered along a mapped arc across Mexico and the United States to witness a rare total solar eclipse. Schools released children, small towns blossomed to receive travelers, neighbors set up lawn chairs in driveways donning protective glasses to take in the wonder. As television crews documented the countdown to “totality,” the crowd grew silent except for one repeated phrase: “Oh my God!” That struck me. I don’t know for certain why those observers chose that phrase in that moment, but I suspect that as mortals encountered the rare and the astonishing, they seemed to need Someone to acknowledge. Someone to thank. Someone to worship. When we look heavenward, our response is awe. As David wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Psalm 19:1). Luke, the historian, reports Jesus’ last minutes on the cross. “It was about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining” (23:44-45). Matthew shares a response to this revelation. “When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, ‘Surely he was the Son of God!’ ” (Matthew 27:54). They couldn’t help but acknowledge God as the Someone worthy of worship. In humble awe, I worship You—my God.
Today’s Topics: Joshua Charles joins Terry for Friday with the Fathers 1) Gospel – John 16:20-23 – Jesus said to His disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy. When a woman is in labor, she is in anguish because her hour has arrived; but when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the pain because of her joy that a child has been born into the world. So you also are now in anguish. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. On that day you will not question Me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My Name He will give you.” Memorial of Saint Isidore Saint Isidore, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Terry and Joshua discuss Early Fathers of the Church on worthy and unworthy reception of the Holy Eucharist
Divorce Keeping You Up at Night? How to Stop the 2 A.M. SpiralDIVORCE CRASH COURSE: Divorce is expensive. Making avoidable mistakes makes it even more expensive. Our Divorce Crash Course gives you the information we wish every person had before and during divorce—from choosing an attorney and understanding your finances to custody, parenting agreements and the mistakes that can cost you thousands.Typically priced at $150, available now for $50, thanks to our angel underwriters, OurFamilyWizard and Soberlink.[GET THE DIVORCE CRASH COURSE HERE]NEW: GUIDED DIVORCE MEDITATIONS: When your brain won't shut up about your divorce, we made something specifically for that. Our Guided Divorce Meditations are short, on-demand meditations for the moments divorce hits hardest—including when you can't sleep, you're worried about money or your kids, you're spiraling about your marriage, or you're struggling with a custody transition.[GET THE GUIDED DIVORCE MEDITATIONS HERE]If divorce is keeping you awake at night, you're definitely not alone.You go to bed exhausted, but the second everything gets quiet, your brain decides it's time to solve your entire divorce.What if my ex is hiding money? What if something happens with the kids? What does that email from my attorney mean? What if this goes to trial? Did I remember to send that document? Should I respond to that text? What if I can't afford this?Suddenly it's 2:34 a.m., you're wide awake, and you're trying to solve problems that probably cannot be solved from your bed.In this episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce, Andrea Rappaport and family law attorney Morgan Stogsdill are talking about divorce anxiety, insomnia and what to do when you can't stop thinking about your divorce at night.And we're giving you an actual strategy.Morgan explains how to separate the things that genuinely require action from the things that feel urgent because your anxious brain is filling in the blanks. Andrea shares why losing sleep during divorce can make an already difficult situation worse—and potentially affect the decisions you're making the next day.The goal isn't to pretend everything is fine.It's learning to recognize what needs your action—and what needs your inaction.In This Episode You'll LearnWhy divorce anxiety can feel so much worse at nightWhat to do when you wake up worrying about your divorceThe pen-and-paper strategy Morgan recommends for getting worries out of your headHow to determine whether something actually requires actionWhy you should think twice before emailing your divorce attorney late at nightHow to create a running list of questions for your attorneyWhy you should draft—but NOT send—emotional late-night emailsHow late-night texts and emails from your ex can destroy your sleepWhy setting communication boundaries with your co-parent mattersHow to use OurFamilyWizard notification settings more strategicallyWhy sometimes doing absolutely nothing is the smartest action you can takeWhat to tell yourself when your brain refuses to shut downWhy resting can be enough when you can't force yourself to fall asleepHow changing your environment may help break the cycle when you're lying awake spiralingThe 2 A.M. Divorce Brain DumpIf you wake up in the middle of the night and your brain is racing, Morgan recommends keeping a pen and paper next to your bed.Write down everything that's occupying your brain—not just the divorce stuff.Then go through the list and ask yourself:Can I actually take action on this tonight?Or:Do I have any control over the outcome of this tonight?If the answer is no, cross it out for tonight.If the answer is yes, decide whether it truly requires action immediately or whether you can make a plan to handle it tomorrow.Most things can wait until morning.And if it's something you want to discuss with your divorce attorney, write it down or put the email in your drafts. Do not hit send at 2 a.m.Your rested morning brain may have a very different—and considerably shorter—email to send.Stop Letting Your Ex Into Your BedroomNot literally. We have an entirely different podcast episode for that problem.We're talking about your phone.If your ex tends to send inflammatory texts, emails or co-parenting messages late at night, you do not have to allow those notifications to dictate when your nervous system goes into overdrive.Morgan recommends setting boundaries around when you receive and read messages. Andrea also points out that if you're using OurFamilyWizard, you can choose when you receive your daily notifications.Your ex's 10:30 p.m. message does not automatically become your 10:31 p.m. emergency.And it goes both ways.Don't send your ex angry late-night messages either. Aside from destroying everyone's sleep, creating a documented pattern of bad communication is probably not something you want your attorneys—or potentially a judge—reading later.What Needs Action—and What Needs Inaction?We often divide our problems into two categories:Things I can control.Things I can't control.Andrea offers a different way to think about it during divorce:What needs my action?And:What needs my inaction?Sometimes inaction is an active decision.You can recognize that something is scary, painful or uncertain without trying to solve it tonight.You aren't pretending the problem doesn't exist.You're deciding:Not now.Tomorrow, you can reopen the box.Tonight, your job is to rest.When Your Brain Still Won't Shut UpSometimes you've written everything down. You've made tomorrow's list. You've silenced your notifications. You've decided what can wait.And your brain is still going.That's exactly why we created our Guided Divorce Meditations.Earlier this week, we released one of the meditations completely free on the podcast: For When You Can't Sleep.It's about 10 minutes long, and Andrea walks you through putting those thoughts and fears somewhere safe for the night—not throwing them away, not pretending they don't matter, but giving yourself permission to stop carrying them until morning.The complete Guided Divorce Meditation library is $20 and includes meditations created specifically for different moments of divorce when you need help quieting the noise.[GET THE GUIDED DIVORCE MEDITATIONS HERE]Resources MentionedDivorce Crash CourseGuided Divorce MeditationsOurFamilyWizardSoberlinkSubscribe, Rate & ReviewIf How Not to Suck at Divorce is helping you get through your divorce a little smarter, calmer and more prepared, please subscribe and leave us a review.

In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation from Callie Wagner's podcast, The Worthy and Wealthy Christian Mindset for Women in Business, where we get honest about faith, ambition, wealth, greed, and stewardship. We talk about why so many Christian women confuse contentment with complacency, what happens when money starts exposing your motives, and why wanting more doesn't automatically make you greedy. Callie shares what she had to confront after reaching $20K+ months, and I share what making millions, losing money, rebuilding businesses, and having my identity stripped away taught me about success, surrender, stewardship, and who I am without any of it.Because at some point, you have to ask yourself: If God has already given you enough, why do you still want more?
