E235: A Conversation about the Lord's Church
I have a second podcast called, "After the Amen" with Myles Hester. We recently recorded this episode and I wanted to share this with my I Can Do Platform. Myles is doing great work at the West Main Church of Christ in Lewisville Texas, where we both work together. You can find his blog at https://willingandworking.wordpress.com/
Takeaways
When asked about the kind of church one attends, it is important to define the terms and provide answers based on scripture.
The New Testament, particularly Acts chapter 2, provides a clear description of the characteristics of the church that Jesus established.
The first-century church emphasized worship, fellowship, love, and the message of salvation.
Having conversations about the church and providing truthful answers based on scripture is valuable and helps others understand the truth.

E234: Ganga Rivera on Life, Ultraspeaking, and Personal Growth
Takeaways
Ganga's journey from Russia to Florida started with her marriage to her husband, whom she met while translating for a yoga teacher in India.
Yoga has been a significant part of Ganga's life, providing her with a pure and transcendent experience.
Ganga struggled with religion, particularly Orthodox Christianity, and found solace in yoga and the practice of removing something extra rather than fixing things.
Her transformation in speaking has allowed her to become more comfortable expressing herself, although she still feels some butterflies in certain situations. Exploring new interests and practices, such as yoga, can lead to personal growth and self-discovery.
Accepting oneself and facing emotions are crucial steps in overcoming challenges and addictions.
Recovery is not about achieving perfection, but rather learning to manage behaviors and navigate life's messiness.
Grace and self-agency both play a role in personal growth and transformation.

Takeaways
Inflammation is the root mechanism for all disease.
Wheat activates toll-like receptors in the gut, leading to leaky gut and inflammation.
Testing for wheat sensitivity can help identify the source of inflammation and guide treatment.
Environmental toxins, such as mold and indoor air pollution, can also contribute to health issues. Environmental toxins, such as mold and chemicals in personal care products, can have a significant impact on health, including the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Mercury fillings and certain triggers, like gluten, can contribute to inflammation and various health conditions, including epilepsy and schizophrenia.
Taking action to reduce exposure to toxins, such as choosing natural personal care products and being mindful of environmental factors, can help improve overall health.
Genetic variations can influence how individuals respond to certain substances, such as caffeine, highlighting the importance of personalized approaches to health.
Fasting and adopting a gluten-free Mediterranean diet are recommended strategies for reducing inflammation and promoting overall well-being.
