Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 7 Stephen delivers an epic speech to the Jewish leaders, spanning two thousand years of Israel's history. He emphasizes God's promise of land to Abraham. He then discusses the jealousy of Joseph's brothers, highlighting how God protected him and led the Jews to Egypt. Stephen then recounts the story of Moses and explains how he saved the people despite their repeated obstinance. God was present and active all throughout Israel's history. Stephen notes that God is still working through the Holy Spirit, yet the Jews remain rebellious, even murdering “the Righteous One.” This infuriates the crowd, leading them to stone Stephen to death. In his final moments, Stephen sees Jesus in heaven standing next to the Father and pleads that the people's sins not be held against them. Stephen's defense provides several meaningful application points. First, he was wise and courageous in his willingness to share the truth about God with a dangerous crowd. Confessing Jesus requires standing firm in the face of eminent danger. Second, the lengthy message recounts key figures in Israel's history. More importantly, it illustrates that God was always present with them, never limited by location or hindered by anyone. This is the God we serve, who remains active and unstoppable today. Finally, the glory of Jesus resonates through Stephen's words and character. Like Stephen, we should know God's story and emulate Jesus as we share it. He honors Christ by reciting Jesus' words on the cross, even unto his dying breath. Great Father, Your involvement with Your people has sustained them for generations. Men and women of faith stood firm for You, even when Your own people opposed them. Help us recognize that You are with us. Open our hearts to the presence and work of the Holy Spirit. Many resist Him, some even in a misguided attempt at faith. Please guide us by Your Spirit to know and teach the truth. If defending Your Name costs our lives, grant us the courage of Stephen to emulate Jesus and die with unwavering faith, heavenly hope, and love, even for our enemies. Thought Questions: - God supported the faithful, especially as others opposed them. Do you believe God is with you? And how is He helping you today? - The Jews were “resisting the Holy Spirit,” though they thought they were righteous. How do you avoid falling into such a misguided religion? - Jesus and Stephen asked God to forgive those who murdered them. How do you demonstrate that heart of mercy to others?

Ohjaaja Luca Guadagninon (mm. Call Me by Your Name, 2017) Queer -elokuva pohjaa William S. Burroughsin tekstiin. Burroughsin löyhästi omaelämäkerralliset satiirit, kuten novelli Queer, jonka pohjalta tämä elokuva on tehty, käsittelevät riippuvuuksia, rumuutta ja eläimellisiä viettejä. Daniel Craig esittää Queer-elokuvassa William Leetä, Burroughsin alter egoa. Amerikkalainen Lee vetelehtii 1950-luvun Mexico Cityssä viettäen aikaansa baareissa. Yhdessä niistä hän kohtaa nuoren sotilaan, johon hullaantuu. Kriitikot ovat pääsääntöisesti kiitelleet ex-Bondin Graigin suoritusta, mutta elokuva on saanut myös risuja. Miten Guadagnino on onnistunut Burroughsin novellin siirtämisessä valkokankaalle, ja millaisena elokuva näyttää vanhenemisen, juurettomuuden, riippuvuuden ja himon? Millaisia tabuja Burroughs on aikanaan ollut rikkomassa, ja mikä hänen teksteilleen on ollut tunnusomaista? Miten homouden kuvaus on muuttunut elokuvissa, ja onko homoseksuaalin Leen rooli Graigille riski? Keskustelemassa ovat elokuvakriitikko Kalle Kinnunen, toimittaja ja Night Visions -elokuvafestivaalin ohjelmistosuunnittelija Matti Rämö ja lukuisia William S. Burroughsin teoksia suomentanut Elina Koskelin ja Kielikeskuksen yliopistonlehtori Tommi Kakko sekä sukupuolentutkimuksen professori Leena-Maija Rossi Lapin yliopistosta. Toimittajana on Pauliina Grym.

In this insightful and reflective episode of Parent Like a Psychologist, we dive deep into Jonathan Haidt's provocative and widely discussed book, The Anxious Generation. Host [Your Name], a psychologist and parent, shares a heartfelt and honest review of the book, exploring its key arguments, research foundations, and real-world implications for today's families—especially those raising neurodivergent children. From initial panic to practical reflection, [Your Name] discusses how Haidt's core message—that smartphones and social media have fundamentally reshaped childhood—resonated personally and professionally. You'll hear about the dramatic shift in children's lives around 2010, as play-based, outdoor experiences gave way to screen-dominated, indoor ones, and how this shift has coincided with alarming rises in anxiety, depression, and social disconnection—especially among girls. This episode covers: What Haidt gets right: the importance of unstructured play, the dangers of constant connectivity, the science behind sleep and screen use, and the growing mental health challenges in young people. Where the book may fall short: overemphasis on screens as the sole cause of rising anxiety, lack of attention to other societal pressures, and missing nuance for neurodivergent kids. How these insights apply specifically to ADHD and autistic children, who may rely more heavily on screens for connection, regulation, and learning. Practical tools and mindset shifts for parents, including collaborative screen boundaries, digital nutrition vs. restriction, and modeling healthy tech habits. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the screen-time battle, curious about how to raise your kids in a digital age, or wondering how to support neurodivergent children in navigating online life, this episode offers thoughtful perspective, personal anecdotes, and evidence-informed guidance. Parent Like a Psychologist is about meeting parents where they are, with empathy, clarity, and strategies that work in the real world—not just the ideal one. So if you've ever threatened to bring back the Nokia just to keep your sanity (guilty!), this episode is for you.

Whether you're a brand-new parent or just need a refresher, this is your go-to guide for keeping that little belly button area safe and healthy.
Introduction:* Hi there, and welcome—or welcome back—to Authentically ADHD! I'm [Your Name], your host, fellow ADHDer, and your guide through the beautifully chaotic, wildly creative, and sometimes frustrating world of the ADHD brain.* Now, let me ask you something—have you ever heard someone say, “ADHD isn't real, it's just an excuse,” or “Oh, everyone gets distracted sometimes”? Maybe you've even doubted yourself, wondering, Am I really struggling, or am I just not trying hard enough?* Well, my friend, if any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. Today, we're diving headfirst into the tangled web of myths and misconceptions that surround ADHD—the ones that leave people feeling misunderstood, dismissed, and frustrated.* But here's the good news: we're bringing the facts. The real, science-backed, brain-imaging, peer-reviewed, expert-approved truth about ADHD. Together, we're going to bust these myths wide open and replace them with knowledge, empowerment, and maybe even a few lightbulb moments along the way.* Are you ready? Lets get started!Segment 1: Debunking Common MythsADHD has been misunderstood for decades, leading to myths that undermine the experiences of those who live with it. In this segment, we'll break down two of the most common and damaging misconceptions about ADHD, using historical context and scientific research to separate fact from fiction.Myth 1: ADHD Isn't a Real Disorder—It's Just an Excuse for LazinessOne of the most pervasive myths about ADHD is that it isn't a legitimate medical condition—that it's just an excuse for laziness, lack of motivation, or poor self-control. But the reality is that ADHD has been recognized as a neurodevelopmental disorder by leading medical organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the World Health Organization (WHO).Historical Context & Scientific RecognitionADHD has been documented for centuries. As early as 1798, Scottish physician Sir Alexander Crichton described a condition in children characterized by inattentiveness and restlessness. In the early 20th century, researchers began studying what was then called “Minimal Brain Dysfunction,” a term that later evolved into ADHD as our understanding of the condition deepened.In 1968, the American Psychiatric Association formally recognized what we now know as ADHD in the second edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-II), calling it “Hyperkinetic Reaction of Childhood.” Over the decades, extensive research has led to refinements in the diagnostic criteria, demonstrating that ADHD is not just a childhood disorder but one that persists into adulthood for many individuals.Neurological Studies & Brain Imaging EvidenceThanks to advancements in neuroscience, we now have concrete evidence that ADHD is a real, measurable brain-based disorder. Brain imaging studies, including fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) and PET (positron emission tomography) scans, have revealed key differences in the brains of individuals with ADHD compared to neurotypical individuals.* Structural Differences: Research shows that people with ADHD often have smaller volumes in certain brain regions, particularly the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive functions like planning, impulse control, and attention regulation.* Dopamine Deficiency: ADHD is closely linked to dysfunction in the brain's dopamine system. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in motivation and reward processing. In people with ADHD, dopamine transporters clear the neurotransmitter too quickly, leading to difficulties with sustained attention, impulse control, and task persistence.* Delayed Brain Maturation: Studies have shown that the brains of children with ADHD tend to develop more slowly in key areas related to self-regulation and decision-making. This doesn't mean they're incapable—it just means their developmental timeline is different.So, ADHD isn't an excuse—it's a well-documented neurodevelopmental condition backed by decades of scientific research.Myth 2: ADHD Is Just a Lack of Discipline or Bad ParentingAnother damaging misconception is that ADHD is caused by a lack of discipline or ineffective parenting. This myth suggests that children (and adults) with ADHD simply need to “try harder” or that parents should be stricter to “fix” their child's behavior. However, scientific research overwhelmingly shows that ADHD is rooted in biology, not upbringing.Biological & Genetic FactorsADHD has a strong genetic component, meaning that if a parent has ADHD, their child is significantly more likely to have it as well. Studies estimate that ADHD is about 70-80% heritable, making it one of the most genetically influenced neurodevelopmental disorders.Twin studies have been particularly revealing:* Identical twins (who share nearly 100% of their genes) are much more likely to both have ADHD than fraternal twins (who share about 50% of their genes).* Adoption studies show that children with ADHD are more likely to have biological parents with the condition, regardless of their adoptive environment.Beyond genetics, prenatal and early life factors can also contribute to ADHD, such as:* Premature birth or low birth weight* Prenatal exposure to nicotine, alcohol, or environmental toxins* Differences in brain chemistry and structure that affect attention and impulse controlWhy the Parenting Myth PersistsADHD symptoms—such as impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity—can often be mistaken for behavioral issues caused by poor discipline. However, research shows that even children raised in highly structured, nurturing environments can still exhibit ADHD symptoms due to the biological nature of the disorder.That said, while parenting does not cause ADHD, it can influence how symptoms manifest. Parenting strategies that focus on understanding, routine, and positive reinforcement can help manage symptoms, but they don't "cure" ADHD.So, next time someone says ADHD is just a discipline issue, remember: it's a neurobiological condition that has been extensively studied, and science proves that it's much more than just “bad behavior.”Segment 2: Understanding ADHD Brain FunctionAlright, now that we've cleared up some of the most damaging myths about ADHD, let's get into the fascinating science of how the ADHD brain actually works. Because trust me—once you understand what's happening behind the scenes, everything starts to make a whole lot more sense.Brain Differences in ADHDOne of the biggest misconceptions about ADHD is that it's just a behavioral issue—when, in reality, it's deeply rooted in brain structure and function. Scientists have spent decades studying ADHD using advanced neuroimaging techniques like MRI and PET scans, and the results are eye-opening.Structural & Functional DifferencesStudies have shown that individuals with ADHD often have differences in the size and activity of certain brain regions compared to neurotypical individuals. Some of the most notable differences include:* Prefrontal Cortex: This is the brain's “CEO” responsible for decision-making, impulse control, focus, and organization. In people with ADHD, this area tends to be smaller and less active, which explains why things like planning, time management, and staying on task can be so challenging.* Basal Ganglia: This region plays a role in movement and reward processing. Researchers have found that people with ADHD often have differences in basal ganglia activity, which can contribute to hyperactivity and difficulty with delayed gratification.* Corpus Callosum: This is the bridge that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Studies suggest that in ADHD, there may be differences in the communication between the two sides, which can affect how efficiently the brain processes information.But the real kicker? It's not just how the ADHD brain is structured—it's how it communicates internally through neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine.Dopamine & Norepinephrine: The ADHD Brain's Chemical MessengersDopamine and norepinephrine are neurotransmitters, which are basically tiny messengers that help brain cells communicate. In ADHD, the way these chemicals are processed is different, leading to some of the core symptoms of the condition.* Dopamine: This neurotransmitter plays a major role in motivation, reward, and pleasure. In the ADHD brain, dopamine is often not regulated efficiently, meaning that everyday tasks don't provide the same sense of reward or urgency. That's why boring tasks feel physically painful to start—but something exciting? Instant hyperfocus.* Norepinephrine: This is involved in alertness and attention. In ADHD, there may be lower levels of norepinephrine, making it harder to sustain focus and filter out distractions.So, when people say, “You just need more discipline!”—nope. The ADHD brain is literally wired differently, and it's not a matter of willpower, but of brain chemistry.Executive Function Challenges: Why Organization, Planning & Impulse Control Are HarderNow, let's talk about executive function—because if you have ADHD, this is where the struggle gets real.What Are Executive Functions?Executive functions are the brain's self-management system—the skills that help us plan, prioritize, remember things, control impulses, and regulate emotions. Imagine them like the air traffic control center of your brain, making sure all your mental planes take off and land at the right time.In ADHD, this system doesn't operate as smoothly. It's like running airport operations during a thunderstorm—flights (aka thoughts) get delayed, rerouted, or crash into each other.How ADHD Affects Executive FunctionLet's break down three major executive function challenges and how research helps explain them:* Impulse Control & Inhibition* The prefrontal cortex (which helps with self-control) is less active in ADHD brains. This means impulsivity can take over—blurting things out, interrupting, acting before thinking.* Studies show that people with ADHD struggle more with delayed gratification, meaning the brain craves immediate rewards rather than long-term goals.* Working Memory & Mental Organization* Working memory is what helps us hold information in our minds while we use it—like remembering why you walked into a room or following multi-step directions.* Research shows that ADHD brains have weaker working memory abilities, which explains why you can read an email and forget what it said seconds later.* Planning & Time Management* Time perception in ADHD is fundamentally different. The ADHD brain doesn't track time linearly—it's either Now or Not Now.* MRI studies show less activation in the brain's time management areas, which explains why deadlines feel so distant—until they suddenly don't, and it's a full-blown panic.Real-World ExampleLet's say you have a report due in two weeks. A neurotypical brain naturally breaks it down: Start researching today, write a draft next week, and finalize it before the deadline.But an ADHD brain? It's like: ❌ “Plenty of time, I'll get to it later…” ❌ Forgets about it entirely. ❌ Remembers the night before and enters full panic mode.This isn't laziness—it's an actual difference in brain processing.Final Thoughts for This SegmentThe more we understand the science behind ADHD, the more we can work with our brains instead of against them. The next time you feel frustrated with yourself for forgetting something or struggling to focus, remember—it's not a character flaw. It's brain wiring.And the best part? Once you understand how your brain works, you can start using strategies that actually help. We'll get into that soon, but first—let's talk about the impact of these myths and misunderstandings on people with ADHD.Segment 3: The Impact of Myths on Individuals with ADHDAlright, now that we've broken down what ADHD actually is—and what it isn't—let's talk about something just as important: how these myths affect the people who live with ADHD every single day. Because as much as misinformation is frustrating, it's also harmful. The stigma and misunderstandings surrounding ADHD don't just exist in conversations or on social media—they have real, lasting consequences on self-esteem, relationships, education, and even career opportunities.The Weight of Stigma: The Psychological Toll of ADHD MythsImagine being told your whole life that you're just not trying hard enough. That if you cared more or were more disciplined, you'd be fine. For many people with ADHD, this is their reality. And over time, that kind of messaging doesn't just hurt—it starts to shape the way you see yourself.Research shows that individuals with ADHD are at a higher risk of developing anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, often because they've internalized these damaging narratives. When society tells you that ADHD isn't real, or that you're just being lazy, it's easy to start believing it yourself.Personal Stories: Living in the Shadow of MisinformationLet me share a story—one that might sound familiar to a lot of you.Take Sarah, for example. She was diagnosed with ADHD in her late 20s after struggling for years in school and at work. Growing up, she was always told, “You have so much potential if you'd just apply yourself.” Teachers called her distracted and unfocused, and when she forgot assignments or lost track of time, they chalked it up to irresponsibility.By the time she got to adulthood, she believed she was just bad at life. She thought she was a failure because no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't keep up with deadlines, stay organized, or focus in meetings. When she finally got diagnosed, it was a relief—but also heartbreaking. She realized she had spent years blaming herself for something that wasn't her fault.Stories like Sarah's aren't uncommon. The lack of understanding about ADHD doesn't just cause frustration—it can lead to deep feelings of shame and inadequacy. And when people don't have access to the right information, they might not seek the help they need, delaying proper treatment and support.This is why busting these myths matters. Because when we replace misinformation with education, we empower people to see their ADHD not as a flaw, but as a different way of thinking that comes with its own strengths and challenges.Segment 4: Dispelling Myths with ScienceNow that we've explored the harm that myths can cause, let's shift gears and talk about what actually works. ADHD isn't just “solved” by working harder or forcing yourself to focus—it requires evidence-based strategies that help support brain function, reduce symptoms, and make everyday life more manageable.Evidence-Based Treatments for ADHDDespite what some might say, ADHD is treatable. No, there's no magic “cure” that will make it disappear, but there are science-backed approaches that can significantly improve focus, impulse control, and overall well-being.1. Medication: A Tool, Not a CrutchADHD medications—like stimulants (such as Adderall and Ritalin) and non-stimulants (like Strattera)—help regulate dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain. And despite common myths, they aren't about dulling someone's personality or making them dependent.Instead, think of medication as glasses for the ADHD brain—they don't change who you are, but they help things come into focus. Studies show that stimulant medications are effective for about 70-80% of people with ADHD, improving focus, impulse control, and working memory.2. Behavioral Therapies: Rewiring the ADHD BrainCognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and ADHD coaching are powerful tools that help people develop skills to manage symptoms. Therapy can help with:* Time management and organization strategies* Emotional regulation techniques* Reframing negative self-talk that stems from years of feeling “not good enough”3. Lifestyle Adjustments: Daily Habits That Make a DifferenceADHD management goes beyond just medication and therapy—small lifestyle changes can make a huge impact. Some research-backed strategies include:* Exercise: Regular movement helps boost dopamine and improve focus.* Sleep hygiene: ADHD brains often struggle with sleep regulation, but prioritizing rest can help with focus and impulse control.* Diet and nutrition: While food isn't a “cure,” balanced meals with protein and healthy fats can support brain function.Educational & Workplace Accommodations: Setting People Up for SuccessOne of the most damaging myths about ADHD is that people just need to “push through” and “work harder” to succeed. But the truth is, when people with ADHD get the right accommodations, they thrive.1. ADHD in School: The Power of AccommodationsIn educational settings, simple supports can make a world of difference. Some examples include:* Extended time on tests or assignments to accommodate slower processing speeds.* Alternative work environments (like quiet spaces) to reduce distractions.* Access to audiobooks or speech-to-text software for students who struggle with reading or writing.Studies have shown that students with ADHD perform significantly better when given these accommodations—proving that the issue isn't about intelligence or effort, but about creating the right environment for learning.2. ADHD in the Workplace: Creating an ADHD-Friendly Career PathMany adults with ADHD struggle in traditional 9-to-5 jobs, not because they're incapable, but because workplaces aren't always designed for neurodivergent minds. Some game-changing accommodations include:* Flexible work schedules (because forcing focus at 8 AM doesn't work for everyone).* Task management tools and deadline reminders to support executive function.* Clear, written instructions rather than relying solely on verbal communication.Companies that implement ADHD-friendly policies often see higher productivity and job satisfaction from employees with ADHD. Because when people are supported, they do their best work.Final Thoughts: ADHD is Real, and So Are the SolutionsSo, let's bring it all together. ADHD is real, it's biological, and it's not caused by laziness or bad parenting. Myths and misinformation can be damaging, but when we replace them with knowledge and understanding, we empower individuals with ADHD to embrace who they are and access the support they deserve.If you take away one thing from this episode, let it be this: You are not broken. You are not lazy. Your brain just works differently—and that's okay. With the right tools, strategies, and support, you can build a life that works with your brain, not against it.
Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comJohn 1 John's gospel starts “in the beginning.” Jesus was the Word in heaven who made all things. After creation, He becomes the Light from heaven to illuminate our hearts. Jesus is the grace of God revealed to bring the Father's favor. He is the Lamb of God who would die to “take away the sins of the world.” He is the Christ prophesied in the Old Testament. Jesus Christ is the greatest gift man has ever been given. John the Baptist proclaims Jesus as the Son of God, saying he has seen the Spirit fall on Him and that Jesus will be the One who baptizes others in the Holy Spirit. Jesus then begins his public ministry by calling into service four men from Galilee: Peter, Andrew, Philip, and Nathanael. Most scholars contend that John's Letter is the last inspired gospel. He brings a different perspective and unique details to Christ's ministry. The central point of his letter is belief. We must believe Jesus is the Creator. We must embrace Him as God's Light and grace, and as the sacrificial Lamb sent to save us from our sins. The evidence from John the Baptist, the Old Testament prophets, and the Holy Spirit falling on Him testify to Christ's identity. We must see Him as Nathanael did: with amazement and humility. Starting with simple trusting faith, Jesus takes Nathanael on an incredible journey and shows him many wonderful things. He will do likewise in our lives if we choose to follow Him. Glorious Father, we praise Your Name for Your beautiful grace. Thank You for taking all the blessings You seek to give us and placing them in Your Son. If we will pursue Him, loving and obeying Him, we will be forgiven and saved forever. Great God, we ask you to take us on a journey like the four men who followed Jesus. Overwhelm us with Christ's glory. Then take us places we have never been, show us things we cannot imagine, and use us in ways we never thought possible. Lord, we believe. Show us how to follow Jesus. Thought Questions: - Is Jesus your Creator? Is He God's greatest gift to bring grace and hope into your life? Why are those questions important? - John the Baptist was a great prophet, but he always redirected glory to Jesus. How do you direct all glory to Christ? - If Jesus showed up today and said, “Follow Me”, would you go? How is He already calling you to do that in your life?
Pastor Josh Field delivers a message entitled "What's Your Name?"
THE LORD'S PRAYER. Jesus said to His disciples, "This is how you are to pray; 'Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your Name.'" This prayer is said when we are baptized, and when we are buried, and at every Mass, every day, in every church throughout the world. It is said to be the perfect prayer, because Our Lord Himself connects us to God Our Father in an intimate way, every time we say it. Join the conversation: anycatholicconversation@gmail.com

Send us a textReady to transform your teaching with multicultural resources that actually reflect all your students? You've just found exactly what you've been searching for.Representation isn't just a buzzword—it's a critical component of effective teaching. When students see themselves in learning materials, they engage more deeply, connect more meaningfully, and ultimately achieve more academically. Yet finding high-quality, standards-aligned resources that authentically celebrate diversity remains challenging for even the most dedicated educators.That's precisely why I've created over 70 culturally responsive lesson plans that take the guesswork out of inclusive teaching. From "Your Name is a Song," which helps students explore the beauty and significance of diverse names, to "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind," which incorporates engineering concepts through William Kamkwamba's inspiring story, these resources seamlessly integrate cultural awareness with academic rigor. The "Cinderella Around the World" unit introduces students to various cultural versions of the classic tale, enhancing critical thinking while exploring both universal themes and unique cultural perspectives.Shop Lesson Plans in this episode:1) Your Name Is A Song Lesson Plan: https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/your-name-is-a-song-lesson-plan-4/2) I Am Enough Lesson Plan: https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/i-am-enough-lesson-plan-3/3) The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind Lesson Plan: https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/the-boy-who-harnessed-the-wind-lesson-plan-2/4) Cinderella Stories From Around The World Unit Plan: https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/cinderella-stories-from-around-the-world-unit-plan/Sign Up for Our Inclusive Educator Newsletter to get a coupon code for all lesson plans only for our subscribers: https://tremendous-motivator-3920.kit.com/a46bfbcba3 COME SAY Hey!!

Join Dr. Jodi Richardson in this powerful and deeply moving episode as she welcomes acclaimed author and psychotherapist Dr. Stephanie Dowrick to discuss her transformative new book, "Your Name is Not Anxious." In this raw and vulnerable conversation, Dr. Dowrick invites listeners to reconsider their relationship with anxiety, describing it as a "coloniser" that takes over your identity and a "liar" that distorts your perception of reality. Together, they explore how negative self-talk erodes our wellbeing and how breaking the cycle begins with a simple but profound question: "Would you speak to your best friend the way you speak to yourself?" The conversation takes a personal turn as both women share their own journeys with anxiety – Stephanie opening up about her earlier struggles with OCD and current chronic pain from stress fractures in her spine, while Jodi speaks candidly about her experience with medication. Drawing from her book, Dr. Dowrick offers practical wisdom for reclaiming power from the "robbery" of anxiety and depression through small, hopeful steps toward re-empowerment. She emphasises the importance of: Asking for help when needed Using body-soothing techniques to reduce cortisol levels Implementing guided meditation and self-hypnosis (techniques expanded upon in her book) Learning from situations where you already cope well This episode doesn't just theorise about anxiety – it offers a compassionate roadmap for those struggling to separate themselves from their anxious thoughts and rediscover their true identity beyond the limiting label of "anxious." A must-listen for anyone seeking to understand and transform their relationship with anxiety through self-compassion, insight, and hope.

Friendship is more than just companionship—it's a God-given gift designed to shape, challenge, and encourage us in our faith. In this episode, Steve Kim and [Your Name] explore the theology of friendship, looking at biblical examples like David and Jonathan, Ruth and Naomi, and Jesus and His disciples. What makes a friendship truly biblical? How can we cultivate deep, Christ-centered relationships in a world of surface-level connections?
Japanese ‘kidults' revolutionised pop culture in the 90s and 00s, turning to their inner children to cope with economic crisis and post-industrial societal ills, despite being ridiculed. As the milestones of adulthood - property, marriage and careers - become increasingly difficult for millennials and Gen Z to achieve - are westerners now turning to ‘kidulting' to find answers?

Your Sin Is Never Too Great for God; If You Return to God, He Will Return to You MESSAGE SUMMARY: We all sin, and sometimes you may perceive your sin to be so horrendous that you think your life is lost to God's willingness to forgive you; therefore, you believe that you are lost to God's Salvation. If you repent to God of your sins and return to God in your life, He will return to you. Whenever we fall into sin, do we repent and return to the Lord? Hopefully, our answer is: "I will, with God's help.". Our God wants us to return to Him because He loves us -- He is a covenant God. In Malachi 3:7, God admonishes His people who have turned away from Him; but God promises His return to His people if they return to Him: “From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?'". However, Malachi asks the question: “How shall we return?”. Joel 2:12-13 provides the Lord's answer to Malachi's question: “'Yet even now,'” declares the LORD, ‘return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments. Return to the Lord our God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and He relents over disaster.'”. The Lord wants to meet you where you are and to bring His Grace to you. In Matthew 26:27-28, Jesus confirms His Covent relationship with you: "And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.'”. If you return to God in your life, He will return to you. TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Loneliness. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Presence. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Malachi 2:4-6; Malachi 3:1-5; Matthew 26:27-29; Psalms 15:1-5.

What if you truly believed—deep in your heart—that you are seen, heard, known, and deeply loved by God? What if you could stand firm in your identity as His daughter, free from fear and doubt? This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with Amy Seiffert, author of Your Name is Daughter. Amy reminds us that Jesus befriended, defended, healed, and depended upon women—and He still does the same for us today. In a world that often distorts our worth, she shares stories of unsung women in the Bible and empowers us to embrace our God-given dignity, value, and calling. We discuss: ✨ How our identity as daughters of God has been contested✨ Stories of women in Scripture who remind us of our worth✨ How to exchange fear and doubt for confidence and faith✨ Why YOU are essential in God’s Kingdom Without you, the fullness of God’s image is incomplete. You belong. You have purpose. You are loved.

God Reminds Those Who Want a Deeper Relationship with Him of His Expectations for Their Management of His Resources He Provided Them MESSAGE SUMMARY: As followers of Jesus, we want to go deeper in our personal relationship with God. However, God tells some of us that we must start being more responsible for the material things that He has provided before we can go deeper into spiritual revelations. Also, many of us, while seeking to know the Lord better, want to know His will in our lives and for the World. At the same time, we want to be filled with the Holy Spirit. In Mathew 6:19-21, Jesus is telling us that all that we have, which we tend to call our own, really comes from God. God has expectations for our good management of His resources in our personal relationship with Him: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.". God tells us that we are to be good managers of His gifts; however, in Luke 12:19-21, Jesus completes a parable about a man who thought that all his assets were his and not from God: “'And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”. Pointedly, God is telling us that if we cannot be responsible for the earthly treasures, which He has provided us, then how can we be responsible for His Spiritual treasures that He wants to provide us as we seek to deepen our personal relationship with Him? TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Despair. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Joy. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Jesus Followers Will Be Tempted, but God “will not let you be tempted beyond your ability . . . to endure” MESSAGE SUMMARY: You will be tempted again and again, but the temptation itself is not the sin. The sin resides in your grabbing onto the temptation; dwelling on the temptation; and following through on the temptation. Jesus was tempted, and He always faced temptation by quoting scripture to the temptation source. As Jesus tells you about Temptation and sin in Matthew 18:7-8: “Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes! And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.". Also, Paul, in 1 Corinthians 10:13, confirms that God will not permit us to be tempted in a manner that we will be unable to resist: “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.". You can follow Jesus' example by using scripture to deal with a temptation – there is scripture to deal with every temptation that you may face. TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Self-Centeredness. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Love. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Jesus Followers Are Expected, by God, to Confess their Sins and Plead for Forgiveness {Penitence} Real Time MESSAGE SUMMARY: Penitence is not a once in a lifetime occurrence. Penitence is a daily and moment by moment, real time, occurrence. None of us is perfect, and not one of us always does the will of God. Paul, in Romans 2:4-5, is unequivocal in establishing the need for your continuing penitence and the consequences of your not repenting of your sins on a real-time basis: “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.". Therefore, we all need to repent and return to the Lord. You can become cocky and arrogant in your spiritual life – “I am a Christian; God has done this for me.”. As the Psalmist tells us in Psalms 32:5 of his confession and his penitence: “I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,' and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.". You can rest on our perceived laurels; but these perceptions, of personal goodness and righteousness, can lead you quickly to a need for your penitence. TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Insensitivity. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Gentleness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Producers Fred Berger and Alex Heineman take us behind the scenes of A Complete Unknown, a biopic of legendary artist Bob Dylan. A movie six years in the making, Berger and Heineman share how they started this journey by casting a young Timothée Chalamet fresh out of Call Me by Your Name. Chalamet dedicated himself to this role, spending his time mastering piano, guitar, and how to exactly capture Dylan's distinctive voice. Berger and Heineman also dive into how critical James Mangold was in bringing this film to life, never sacrificing the creative and emotional core that was at the heart of Bob Dylan's rise to fame. Nominated for eight Academy Awards, there is no doubt that this film will be at the forefront of audiences' minds for years to come. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
