From the UK Telegraph: The best anti-­aging technique could be standing up, scientists believe, after discovering that spending more time on two feet protects DNA. A study found that too much sitting down shortens telomeres, the protective caps which sit at the end of chromosomes. Short telomeres have been linked to premature aging, disease and early death. So spending less time on the sofa could help people live longer by preventing their DNA from aging. The research found that... Read more

From Jay Carty, author of Counter Attack, Playing With Fire, Coach Wooden One-On-One, and more: This week, we wrap up our Sex in the Bible Trilogy by going back to 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, where it says, “Run from sexual sin!  No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does.  For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body… you must honor God with your body.” You see, the Bible never says anything like, “Wait and see how much you can take... Read more

display_podcast] Suzanne Lederer leads us in connecting with God through Lectio Divina, or “Sacred Reading”. Luke 11:5-9 (MSG) 5-6 Then he said, “Imagine what would happen if you went to a friend in the middle of the night and said, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread. An old friend traveling through just showed up, and I don’t have a thing on hand.’ 7 “The friend answers from his bed, ‘Don’t bother me. The door’s locked; my children are all down for... Read more

From Dewey Bertolini, Pastor of The Safe Haven in McMinnville, OR: You’ve perhaps heard his name — a rather strange name at that! His name is Job. The man who had it all, only to have it all taken away. As you will hear in this PODCAST, in the blink of his eye, everything changed. And not for the better. The book of Job poses for us a number of VERY IMPORTANT and DIFFICULT questions: Why did such unspeakable things happen to... Read more

From Carey Green, author, blogger, speaker, coach and pastor: Yes, really. I know we’d all like to know how to stop sinning, and the truth is that the Bible gives us plain, simple instructions for how to do it. But even though it’s simple, it’s not easy. Every believer in Christ has the opportunity to apply what John says and stop sinning: This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in Him... Read more

From Certified Life Coach Dixie Diamanti, Author of Climbing Out of the Box and Fifty Ways to Meet Your Lover: Being falsely accused of something that you know is simply not true is so hard to endure, isn’t it?  We want to convince our accusers we are not the people they are saying we are.  We want to defend ourselves.  We want to be validated by those that love us to offset the ugly words thrown at us. “But in that coming day... Read more

As we get older, we tend to reminisce about the days of our youth, often to a fault. And, according to my boss, Joel Fieri, the Baby Boomers, in particular, are too often too guilty of over-romanticizing the Groovy Old Days of the 60’s and early 70’s. As Billy Joel sang, “The good old days weren’t always so good and tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems”. Now, in my childhood and teenage years, I remember hearing all about... Read more

From Pam Rohr, author of Blended but not Broken – Hope and Encouragement for Blended Families: Picking up where we left off last week, healthy communication is a part of a strong foundation for a family.  If the foundation decays, the family inevitably falls apart – and the parents must lead the way toward effective, healthy communication. Assertive communication clearly states what you desire and need with respect, clarity and boundaries. And, it supports the other person to respond assertively... Read more

We start this week’s podcast by hearing from Tina who took a giant leap of faith in signing up to go to India, and the Lord really showed up! Several months before our trip, I went home from church after hearing the announcement about it and wrote down a list of a bunch of reasons why I shouldn’t go: I didn’t have enough money, I didn’t have someone to take care of my two kids, It’s too far away,... Read more

From Jana Elizabeth Doughty: I just ate a macaroon that I thought had vanilla filling, but it was lemon. #firstworldproblems Hand wash only.  #firstworldproblems My customized MacBook Pro hasn’t shipped yet.  #firstworldproblems This hashtag is hilarious.  It’s witty.  It’s clever.  It’s true.  These are silly things.  Miniscule surface things that in the grand scheme don’t matter.  But they matter to us.  They’re problems.  Big or small.  And they accumulate quickly.  Search this hashtag for endless Frappuccino whipped cream woes. Maybe... Read more
