Podcasts about your voice

For something that we do every single day, and something that has the power to change every aspect of our life, we sure don't focus on, train, or develop it. And, that thing is conversation. Nothing great ever happened in your life without, first, a conversation – no promotions, no jobs, no clients, no dates, nothing. My guest today, Payam Pakmanesh (known as "The Convo Guy") is here to explain why and, more importantly, how we can build and develop our ability to communicate more effectively. We cover the proper principles of communication, Adlerian Psychology and how it helps you focus on what you can control, the "Zoom Flow" model for deeper connection, how to make yourself more approachable, and becoming aware of how others perceive you.

What is Creation?Creation is the sum of all God's Thoughts, in number infinite, and everywhere without all limit. Only Love creates, and only like Itself. There was no time when all that It created was not there. Nor will there be a time when anything that It created suffers any loss. Forever and forever are God's Thoughts exactly as they were and as they are, unchanged through time and after time is done.God's Thoughts are given all the power that their own Creator has. For He would add to Love by its extension. Thus His Son shares in creation, and must therefore share in power to create. What God has willed to be forever one will still be one when time is over; and will not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it was before the thought of time began.Creation is the opposite of all illusions, for creation is the truth. Creation is the holy Son of God, for in creation is His Will complete in every aspect, making every part container of the Whole. Its oneness is forever guaranteed inviolate; forever held within His holy Will, beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection and of any spot upon its sinlessness.We are creation; we the Sons of God. We seem to be discrete, and unaware of our eternal unity with Him. Yet back of all our doubts, past all our fears, there still is certainty. For Love remains with all Its Thoughts, Its sureness being theirs. God's memory is in our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator. Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God created us.Our Father calls to us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in the Name of its Creator, Holiness Itself, Whose holiness His Own creation shares; Whose holiness is still a part of us.LESSON 321Father, My Freedom Is In You Alone.I did not understand what made me free, nor what my freedom is, nor where to look to find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me. Now I would guide myself no more. For I have neither made nor understood the way to find my freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me, and the way to You is opening and clear to me at last. Father, my freedom is in You alone. Father, it is my will that I return.Today we answer for the world, which will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find our freedom through the certain way our Father has established. And how sure is all the world's salvation, when we learn our freedom can be found in God alone.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Yup, it's a repeat of episode 1069 that originally came out on 8/8/2020, right in the heart of COVID (good times, good times.) I was going to copy the notes from that ep for this one, but I was too lazy to write them 5 years ago, and I see no reason to redeem myself now. Do you want some cool merch?

"With Kristi [second analyst], it was much, much deeper. This whole dependent and infantile part of me was coming out. This is psychoanalytic language - I was moving into a regression that was terrifying, because I had been trained by my mother, and it was my nature, and it was what had worked for me to really approach things as an 'independent person' ie I don't need anybody; I don't need anything; I can function whatever happens. While I explored a little bit of that with Lane [first analyst], it was only very slight, and we never talked about it. With Kristi, she would actually make me aware of it, and I would become aware of my own need for her and withdraw. With Kristi, it was immediate that I knew there was much greater complexity going on, a level of complexity that I couldn't have handled in my 20s. And we locked horns almost immediately." Episode Description: We begin with describing the various psychotherapy journeys that individuals undergo in search of healing. In her memoir, Joan describes two intense yet fundamentally different psychoanalyses at different points in her life. The first analysis was focused on uncovering the unrecognized story of her early family life. The second demonstrated how she was unknowingly replaying that family life in her relationship with her analyst, "I was reliving my whole childhood in our relationship." She came to recognize the "unacknowledged parts of myself" that her analyst "coaxed from its psychic den." She invites us into the frenetic 'regressive' periods where she both desperately craved the affections of her analyst and simultaneously refused to accept the care that was being offered. Multiple episodes of rupture and repair led her to come to terms with the human condition, both her own and her analysts. She closes with "As minutely as I've described these two analyses, I feel as if I've left half unsaid. And yet, as Kristi might say, it's enough."   Our Guest: Joan K. Peters, PhD, is a Professor Emeritus of Literature and Writing at California State University at California. She is the author most recently of Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis. At last year's meeting of The American Psychoanalytic Association, she gave a talk on memoir and psychoanalysis, and in the upcoming one, her book will be the subject of a panel discussion. In addition to her blog for Psychology Today, she's contributed an essay on dream interpretation for Psychoanalytic Inquiry, and is guest editing a special issue of that same journal on "The Patient Experience."   Recommended Readings: Patient Narratives – an annotated list  The Classics These few analysands who wrote (later on) about their analyses in the 1930's – 1950's offer brief and impressionistic overviews:   H.D.'s Tribute to Freud (New Directions, New York: 1956).   Nini Herman, My Kleinian Home: A Journey Through Four Psychotherapies (Free Association Books, London: 1988)   Margaret I. Little, Psychotic Anxieties and Containment: A Personal Record of An Analysis with Winnicott, (Jason Aronson Inc., Northvale, New Jersey, London: 1985)   Contemporary Memoirs:   Marie Cardinal, The Words To Say It, in French, 1975; English, (VanVactor & Goodheart, Cambridge, Mass.: 1983), introduction by Bruno Bettelheim.   Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head: A Memoir (Other Press, New York: 2011)   Andrew Solomon's beautiful essay, "Grieving for the Therapist Who Taught Me How to Grieve," The New Yorker, May 10, 2020, is more of a tribute to his therapist than an account of the process.   Best-sellers   Solomon's The Noonday Sun: An Atlas of Depression   Kay Redfield Jamison's An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness (Vintage Books, New York: 1995)   Elyn R. Saks' The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness (Hachette Books, New York: 2007) are records of triumph over mental illnesses more than accounts of the therapies the authors underwent.   Fuller contemporary accounts of analysis   Kim Chernin, A Different Kind of Listening: My Psychoanalysis and its Shadow (HarperCollins, New York City: 1995)   Kate Daniels, Slow Fuse of the Possible: A Memoir of Poetry and Psychoanalysis (West Virginia University Press, Morgantown: 2022) offer severe critiques of the authors' analyses.  

Yup, this episode has it ALL! Even Doug's mom, Rosalee. He and JJ are going on a cruise with Rosalee and Ted, so if you want your fill of Doug, you'd better get it today, because you're not going to hear him for the next two weeks. I don't know what Strickland's gonna do, but I guess he'll figure something out. Probably at the very last minute, so don't be surprised if next week's episode isn't posted on time.

LESSON 300Only An Instant Does This World Endure.This is a thought which can be used to say that death and sorrow are the certain lot of all who come here, for their joys are gone before they are possessed, or even grasped. Yet this is also the idea that lets no false perception keep us in its hold, nor represent more than a passing cloud upon a sky eternally serene. And it is this serenity we seek, unclouded, obvious and sure, today.We seek Your holy world today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our way a while. But we have listened to Your Voice, and learned exactly what to do to be restored to Heaven and our true Identity. And we give thanks today the world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that tiny instant to eternity.- Jesus Chrsit in ACIM

Owning Your Craft, Confidence in Your Voice, Discipline Over Inspiration, Learning Without Ego, Leaving a Mark. Great writing doesn't just tell a story—it leaves a fingerprint. It makes readers feel, think, and remember. When you know, you know: writing is a calling, and storytelling is your gift. But greatness? Greatness comes from what you do with it.

"Reliable narrators?" What kind of woo woo, philosophical, emotionally intelligent shit are they talking about now? Did they go and read a BOOK or something? I didn't even know they knew how to read!

LESSON 296The Holy Spirit Speaks Through Me Today.The Holy Spirit needs my voice today, that all the world may listen to Your Voice, and hear Your Word through me. I am resolved to let You speak through me, for I would use no words but Yours, and have no thoughts which are apart from Yours, for only Yours are true. I would be savior to the world I made. For having damned it I would set it free, that I may find escape, and hear the Word Your holy Voice will speak to me today.We teach today what we would learn, and that alone. And so our learning goal becomes an unconflicted one, and possible of easy reach and quick accomplishment. How gladly does the Holy Spirit come to rescue us from hell, when we allow His teaching to persuade the world, through us, to seek and find the easy path to God.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

I was going to write some extensive show notes for this very entertaining and informative episode, when I stumbled across a really sweet post that Strickland put on Facebook. Since you might have missed it, I decided to copy/paste that here instead. Either that, or I was feeling really lazy and didn't feel like writing show notes (unlike every other Thursday night at 10:44 PM, which is when they finally get me the fuckery episodes and they need to be posted within a few hours), I'll leave it to you to decide. It's kinda like a "Choose your own adventure" book, but in this case it's a "Which version of Mr/Mrs. Show Note Writer do you want to believe?" If you're not a member of teh Facebook group yet, go to http://www.NiceShortCut.com and sign up. No, they're not going to try to sell you a bunch of shit, it's a nice, friendly group. OK, here's the post:For those of you who don't know (although, if you've even listened, I don't know how you could doubt this) Doug Sandler and I don't plan our Friday Fuckery episodes. Occasionally, we come with topics, but that's the exception, not the rule anymore. Today at 5:20 PM CST, 10 minutes before our scheduled recording time, I was not "feeling it." I'm a pro, and the show must go on, so I would never cancel on the fuckery, but on some days, it's more challenging than others. Doug, wasn't just not feeling it, he forgot and was actually running late! If you know Doug, you know this is a very, very rare occurance, but in this instance, it gave me the perfect opportunity to adjust my attitude and get myself in the right headspace. JJ Flizanes also joined us, which was a very pleasant surprise, since I haven't seen her in quite a while, and she brings a bit of grounding to the insanity that is "Doug & Strickland." This is an image I captured right after we finished recording, and it's a great reflection of the vibe of the episode. I'm so grateful every day for this amazing life I'm living, for having amazing people like Doug in my life, and for all of you (mostly anonymous) listeners enjoying the fuckery every week. We have a handful of Funkin' Fans who call in semi-regularly (you know who you are) and even though they represent a small percentage of the downloads we get every week, we still appreciate all of you, whether you call in or not. If you're one of those anonymous listeners, call 4242-DJ DOUG and leave us a message. We don't even care what you say, but it would be great to know you're out there. If you're not inclined to do that, at least like this post, or leave us a comment. Doug Sandler and I are real people, and as Ryan Bokros so famously said years ago "I met Doug and Strickland, and I can confirm that they are the same assholes you hear on the show." Thanks for sticking with us, even if you choose to stay anonymous. Do you want some cool merch? Check out the store here- https://www.niceguysonbusiness.com/merch Need podcast production?

Your Voice is Your Weapon. We are called to be HOLY Shofars! "It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person." Matthew 15:11 A shofar is used to gather believers, as a call for battle and in the return of our King, spiritually our voices are to be like shofars. There is a process the shofar goes through to prepare it for use, and the same is true for us. We need to see our selves as the instruments of praise, which brings in victory and sound is critical for that to happen. Not just any sound, but that which is pure and anointed of the Lord.

In case you missed it, which I know you did, because Strickland told me that no Funkin' Fans showed up at Dig World, you missed a great party and the opportunity to meet Doug and Strickland. Some podcasters charge for a meet and greet, or sell tickets to their live shows, but not these guys, they just tell you where they are going to be and offer to buy the drinks...But alas, still no action from the listeners.

It's Strickland's birthday? And I didn't even get him a present. How old is he going to be? Fucking ancient, I'd say, but he and Doug fail to mention an actual age on the episode. You should call 4242-DJ DOUG and leave him a happy birthday message for the show next week, I'm sure he'd appreciate it. If you're anywhere near Katy, TX (West of Houston) on Saturday Oct. 4 between 1-3 you should drop by Dig World and wish him a happy birthday in person.

LESSON 275God's Healing Voice Protects All Things Today.Let us today attend the Voice for God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no more true today than any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time when we will seek and hear and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the Voice for God tells us of things we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart. It is in this that all things are protected. And in this the healing of the Voice for God is found.Your healing Voice protects all things today, and so I leave all things to You. I need be anxious over nothing. For Your Voice will tell me what to do and where to go; to whom to speak and what to say to him, what thoughts to think, what words to give the world. The safety that I bring is given me. Father, Your Voice protects all things through me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Doug buys a 50-year-old truck and is having problems with it. Who could have predicted that? Also, Strickland bought a Tushy- https://hellotushy.com/products/tushy-cloud-plus-bidet-seat. Not much more to say except that I think Strickland also posted the video of this episode on the Facebook group, so that whole "for those of you who are watching" stuff could actually apply today!

LESSON 256God Is The Only Goal I Have Today.The way to God is through forgiveness here. There is no other way. If sin had not been cherished by the mind, what need would there have been to find the way to where you are? Who would still be uncertain? Who could be unsure of who he is? And who would yet remain asleep, in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him whom God created sinless? Here we can but dream. But we can dream we have forgiven him in whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds return to Him at last.And so, our Father, would we come to You in Your appointed way. We have no goal except to hear Your Voice, and find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to us.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Dear Guild Members, This message will touch right into the heart of why we do what we do here. If you have a blog or social and any part of this resonates, feel free to quote and share. Perhaps it will spark something for you. I am in Portual on a pilgrimage and this message for us about why I do what do and how it works with Intentional Creativity came forward. What I am carrying this lifetime. Why it matters. How I share it. And why you don't see me posting about everything that happens. Because I know my call and it is to call you towards your call in a more conscious embodied way. Many of us search our entire lives to find the deepest medicine that we carry. I know what mine is, and everything you see and hear from me is an extension of that knowing. (link in comments if you would rather listen) I sat down this morning in the sun for cafe, guided by heart visions to draw an illustration of what it is that I'm carrying this lifetime. What I'm carrying is designed to shed light on what you are carrying. By carrying, I mean medicine that you came in with this lifetime and living in such a way that this medicine gets expressed. Until we bring this sacred medicine within each one of us forward, it's as if we're looking for it in every face, in every culture, in every tradition, in every march. Your sacred medicine, what you are carrying is actually at the root of our pursuit for equity and justice. Yet if we don't know what really matters to us, and that we really matter, and that what we're carrying actually matters, it strangely makes us focus more on ourselves. If we don't know who we are, we're actually more obsessed with ourselves. When we know who we are, then we can begin to express it and live it. And that usually happens at the level of community and organization. I'm going to make the sharing of this medicine I am carrying as simple as possible.Then for those of you who feel called, I'll be offering an intensive training that is my magnum opus that's called Stardust Bones. That's coming soon. And it's for people who want to become absolutely present and conscious and clear about who they are and what they're doing in this lifetime. It's guided by my heart vision, meaning the intelligence of my heart in relationship with my mind, my gut, my vulva, my hands and my feet, and my identity, all inside of a space called Soul. You ready to hear what I am carrying? It may spark what you are carrying. Maybe stop what you're doing. Maybe you've heard it all before. Maybe it's your first time. Listen. There are outside influences that shape the story that happens inside of you, which ends up equaling your Voice. Your Voice is how you speak to yourself from within, the narrative. The narrative that you're running from within, is running your life, period. So when we are aware that the outside influences on consciousness BECOME inside story, that equals Voice. Then we become aware of how family and culture, how economics and media, how politics and health, how education and myth, that equals 'a default identity' Default identity is what ends up happening when outside influences come and shape us. All of these influences, well meaning or otherwise equal a sort of default identity “Who you ended up being” as a result of these outside influences that you weren't aware of ingesting. Plus how you experience them and how you are shaped by them. The culture that you live within yourself is often based on the outside influence stories until you choose otherwise. Usually that's when we're rebellious teenagers. But it takes a lot of consciousness and embodiment in order to rescue ourselves from those outside influences. A lot of them were positive, yet even those positive influences were shaped by the often invisible operating paradigm that those adults heaved upon us without their full knowledge or ours. For most of us, it's not intended to be a solid indoctrination, but that is what it ends up being. A solid indoctrination that we are not aware that we are operating WITHIN that shapes every part of our lives. Take that in. This influence impacts every relationship we have with lovers, with money, with food, everything. Every relationship we have has been shaped by the story we create from our default identity. When we realize it's up to us to rescue our own Self from the outside influences and the impact on our inside story on identity, then we realize that who we've ended up being was a weaving of a pattern created by influences outside of ourselves without our known consent. And this is actually normal. This is the human existence. It's not all negative. The outisde influences become negative when we're unconscious of it and when it's in charge of us. Then we bring in... how stories of love and trauma then influence the perspective we have on that inside story. As well as the worldview that we project around us about what's actually going on. The story of ourselves and the story of the world around us is often shaped unconsciously. I'm here to tell you, you can influence your own consciousness and it does require a cycle of rescue. How we do make the shift into curating our own consciousness and WHY it works. In our community, we beome conscious through meditation, movement and metacognition. We experience this usually within the framework of a teaching technology, a curriculum, and a pretty giant painting. There's something that happens when you're confronting these ideas, not as an abstraction in the mind, as a thought, as an energy form, but actually make it in matter. You're asking the question while moving the brush...How has the media shaped me? And you move the brush and listen. What stories have I taken on from my parents? And you make dots and listen. What hidden grief am I carrying about the health, of my family, and my world? And you splash colored paint everywhere. What are the hidden myths that are secretly operating in my unconscious, all these hidden rooms? And you make little shapes that represent the rooms. You externalize the internalized narrative. This is Intentional Creativity. During the creative process, you're meditating on it because you're in a flow state. You are being metacognitive because you are observing yourself, observing yourself, right? Metacognition is thinking about thinking. Metacognitive drawing and painting is thinking about thinking with a pen or a brush. And then the movement. You're moving your body across the canvas, selecting the paint, moving the brush, making giant strokes, stepping in, stepping back, turning the canvas. Seems like it's not a lot of movement, but if you've ever done it with me or another IC Teacher for a day, you know that it is. These three things, meditation, metacognition, and movement. Bringing externalized movement to the canvas brings the the internal narrative and makes it visual. This allows change because the neuroplasticity of the brain and the intelligence of the heart, the healing power of the hands, the power of the feet which move you back and forth without you even thinking about it, because you're in flow state. The systems of intelligence, the heart, the brain, the gut and the groin brings a space of coherence. Clarity can come in a way that it hasn't come before. Because all of your systems begin to align. I share this with you today, guided by my own heart vision. That my heart vision is to catalyze those who choose, into your heart vision. For you to see, feel clearly, for you to know and be clear in who you are this lifetime. Even with that amount of trauma that you've had, right alongside the chaos and the undoing, there's this thing called curating consciousness that's guided by the vision of the heart. And it works. Choosing to Curate your Consciousness, consciously brings you closer into presence, into embodiment. Brings you closer to your sensuality and the highest level of consciousness that's available to you. Brings you closer to your calling. I've given my life force bringing this sacred technology of self-expression called Intentional Creativity forward. When I express Life Force... then my Life Source, the deep nourishment, then my creative fire gets fueled. When we work in form, like at a canvas or on the dance floor or in the gardens, we give energy and mind an opportunity to be expressed in matter. This is a very specific chosen happening. It's what I'm here to bring. This is my sacred medicine which is all about your sacred medicine. That's what makes it sacred. I'm not here to report on politics and the media. I'm not here to make a poster for everything that matters to me. I'm here to focus. This is my focus because I know that those of you who are focused can come into your own sense of self and shape your own identity and curate your own consciousness and hear your own voice clearly. When you can do this you will take action on what matters to you. A personal story… I remember a long time ago after I had finished domestic violence advocacy training, something happened with a student in one of my onlines classes. I took the training because I was committed to ending violence against women in any way that I could in my lifetime. Then this medicine that I'm carrying now started coming so powerfully. I started working with bigger groups virtually. I remember working with the head of stalking in one of the states here in the United States. And I said to her, I feel like I'm neglecting my station by not working directly with the women who are in survival. And she said, The leaders who are in survival need you to teach us. I can't do my work to support women in stalking and safety one-on-one if you don't do what you're doing. I need you to do what you're doing so I can do what I'm doing. This was such a meaningful moment for me. She studied with me for years and shaped the way that she worked within her stalking department. Being stalked was one of my most harrowing experiences in my 20s. So I'm not always on the front lines of whatever thing is going on in the world in the way that people might think I should be. I'm using my gifts in other ways. Sometimes I reach a thousand, sometimes ten thousands, and sometimes one grandmother calls me. Someone I don't know that I've never met. Someone who sent me clothes, and socks when I was in a fire evacuation. They had just had a shooting event in a place where her grand children were educated and she couldn't think of anything that would make her feel better than just to call me and maybe I might answer and maybe she might hear my voice. And maybe she could paint with me that day and maybe she could then talk to her grandchildren in a different way. I am so glad I picked up the phone. So it may not always seem like I'm directly addressing all the harm and war and violence that's happening. It's not that I'm spiritually bypassing. It's that I know what my call is. And my call is to guide and support those who are called in hearing their calling. I love you more than you could ever imagine. It's quantum, yet it's tangible. That is why I am speaking these words. Holding this frequency with you, for you, by you, with earth, for earth, by earth, in earth, with stars, in stars, by the stars. We do have stardust bones, you know, and our bones remember. May we all remember more. Right now, this lifetime.

Lesson 254Let Every Voice But God's Be Still In Me.Father, today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence I would come to You, to hear Your Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no prayer but this: I come to You to ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your Will, which I would share with You today.Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and look at them, and then we let them go. We do not want what they would bring with them. And so we do not choose to keep them. They are silent now. And in the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of our will, as we have chosen to remember Him.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Instead of obsessing over SEO and storytelling like it's a PhD thesis, just grab that mic and start chatting!

If you're waiting for perfection, you might just be overthinking everything—start recording already!

So what does today's title mean? You'll have to ask Carnac the Magnificent! Don't know who Carnac the Magnificent is (which is not surprising, because if you did, you probably wouldn't know what a "podcast" is)? That's Johnny Carson's Tonight Show character that Doug likes to quote. OK, spoiler alert, the answer is "What is today's episode about." Now you're probably thinking "But I thought it was a bit and it was supposed to be funny?" Well, that's true, but that was no less funny than most of Carson's jokes. Don't believe me? Here, check out a clip: Carnac The Magnificent - Yahoo Serious, Turner and Hooch, and Hershey Bar | Carson Tonight ShowAnd if you'll be anywhere near Austin or Houston, TX on Oct. 4, you can meet Doug and Strickland in person and drive some cool construction equipment.

If you listen all the way through, you'll hear that they boys cut the episode because Doug needed to meet a college student to cut his palm fronds down. Guess what? Total scam! Well, not a "total" scam, but it wasn't a "struggling college student" as advertised, it was a full-blown landscaping company that wanted $750.00 to do about 30 minutes of work. That's some bull-shit, I'm sure he'll talk about it more on next week's episode. Do you want some cool merch?

Read OnlineThen the disciples approached Jesus in private and said, “Why could we not drive it out?” He said to them, “Because of your little faith. Amen, I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:19–20A man came up to Jesus, fell on his knees before Him and begged Jesus to cure his son who was possessed by a demon. The man explained that Jesus' disciples had tried to cast the demon out, but they could not do so. Jesus' initial response to the man was, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you?” But then Jesus had the boy brought to Him, and He cast the demon out.The line quoted above reveals the conversation that immediately followed between Jesus and His disciples who failed to cast out the demon. It was because of their lack of faith that they were not able to do so. It should be noted that Jesus reacts firmly with a rebuke to this lack of faith as a way of emphasizing the importance of having a more pure faith.Is it true that if you were to have “faith the size of a mustard seed” that you would be able to move a mountain? Yes, most certainly. But this statement must be carefully understood. First of all, we can only have “faith” in that which is in the mind and will of God. Faith is a response to that which God speaks to us. We listen, understand and believe. This is faith. Faith is not just believing in something so strongly that we try to will it to happen. Thus, if God truly wanted a mountain to be uprooted and moved, and He spoke this to you asking you to do it, then if you listened to His Voice and responded with complete trust, then it would happen. But, of course, the glory of God is not fulfilled by moving a literal mountain, so it is very unlikely that this would ever be done through the gift of faith.But Jesus speaks this to His disciples and to us to assure us that we must listen, understand and believe all that He says. In the case of the curing of the boy with the demon, it is clear that it was the will of God that the disciples cast the demon out. But they failed to believe and, therefore, were unable to bring forth God's will through their faith.As for moving mountains, this happens on a figurative and spiritual level all the time. Any time God works in our lives in a supernatural way, or any time God uses us to work in another's life in a supernatural way, much more than a “mountain” is moved. From an eternal perspective, what is more glorious and what gives God greater glory? To literally move a mountain? Or to be changed by grace and to be interiorly transformed by God so as to give Him eternal glory? And what is more impressive? To be able to defy the laws of physics in a way that comes and goes in an instant, or to be used to change someone's soul for eternity? Without question, being used by God to bring transformation to another's soul for eternity is of infinitely greater magnitude.Reflect, today, upon the importance of listening to the Voice of God and responding with complete obedience and love. This is faith. What “mountain” does God want to move in your life? What transformation does He want to perform? Listen to Him and believe with every fiber of your being. As you do, God will not only do unimaginable things in your life, but through you, He will do unimaginable things in the lives of others.My saving Lord, You have done incredible things in the lives of so many. You have transformed souls and recreated them in Your mercy. Please bestow upon me the gift of faith so that I will hear Your Voice and respond with the utmost generosity and belief. Use me, dear Lord, to also become an instrument of Your unimaginable grace in the lives of others.

A little Bad Company reference in the title today, how do you like that? Great band, Paul Rogers has one of classic rock's best voices. The boys are back well over an hour once again, and still they manage to say absolutely nothing. I don't know how they do it, there is a bit of an art to it, I guess. Do you want some cool merch?

ELEVEN voicemails? Well, that's what they get for putting it off last week. You can't let these things sit. Doug acts like they're going to go stale, but Strickland seems to know better. Voicemails will NEVER get old, and that means, if you don't listen to them, they'll just fester. They knaw at you and don't let up until they get played. So if you skip them one week, then the next, then the next, it'll be like that Stephen King novel with the car, you may try to step away, but they'll find you. Voice mails are left to be PLAYED! YOU CAN'T NOT PLAY THEM!!!! Sorry about that, I think the mushrooms are starting to kick in now, so I should probably wrap this up. Anyway- 11 voicemails, other rambling, references to old TV shows, etc, etc.Do you want some cool merch? Check out the store here- https://www.niceguysonbusiness.com/merch Need podcast production?

Read OnlineOn that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables… Matthew 13:1–3Why did Jesus speak in parables? In today's Gospel, Jesus goes on to teach the familiar “Parable of the Sower.” Immediately after that parable in today's Gospel, the disciples do ask Jesus this question. They ask, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” Jesus responds to them, “Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted.” So why is that?First of all, a story is easy to listen to. It keeps our attention and is easily remembered. In the “Parable of the Sower” that we hear today, Jesus explains that the seed sown by the sower falls either on the path, on rocky ground, among thorns, or on rich soil. This is a very visible description that will lead people to conclusions right away. Everyone knows that the ideal place for seed to be sown is rich soil. And everyone knows that the seed sown on the path, rocky ground and among thorns has little hope of producing fruit. Therefore, this parable easily draws the listener in so as to understand some basic lessons.With that said, this story will only become a parable if the deeper lesson is learned. Clearly, Jesus wanted the crowd to understand that they will only understand the mysteries He is teaching them if they are like the rich soil. And He also wanted them to understand that much of what He was teaching them was not falling on rich soil in their hearts.This parable, as well as all of Jesus' parables, has the effect of causing the listener to think. Thinking leads to what we may term a holy curiosity. And this holy curiosity will begin to produce the rich soil that was needed within them so as to open the door to the deeper mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.How does Jesus speak to you? Are you able to listen to Jesus speak directly to you, in prayer, so as to reveal to you the deepest mysteries of Heaven? When God speaks to you, in prayer and meditation, does the seed of His Word take root in your very soul? Does His gentle, quiet but transforming Voice communicate to you Who He is and what His will is for your life? If not, then parables are for you. And knowing that is an important discovery. Reflect, today, upon the desire of God to speak to you. If you do struggle with hearing the clear and profound Voice of God resonate within your soul, then do not be afraid to spend time with the many parables that Jesus told. Try to place yourself within the scene. See yourself as a participant. In today's parable, see your inner self as the field. Think about those things in your life that keep your soul from being rich soil. Allow this story of Jesus to speak to you. As you do, be attentive to God's Voice. Listen for Him and listen to Him. And as you do hear Him, know that the seed He has scattered has begun to reach that rich soil of your heart. My teaching Lord, You desire to speak to me and to reveal to me all that You are. Help me to hear Your Voice so that I will come to know You more. Make my heart truly fertile soil in which the seed of Your Word is sown, so that You can produce within me an abundance of good fruit. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Thomas De Witt Talmage, No restrictions, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc.

The title should give you fair warning- The first hour of this episode is "Tool Time" all over again, but without Tim Allen, so not as funny (or perhaps more funny, depending on your perspective.) If you don't want to hear about Strickland's electrical issues, skip to around 56 minutes in or so. Hell, by that time, you should just skip the whole thing. Well, you could listen to at least a minute to give them a download count. It keeps them wondering who's actually listening. Do you want some cool merch?
