This book changed my life.

Before learning discernment of spirits, I assumed my moods, doubts, and sudden urges to quit were just “how I was feeling.” I didn’t realize how much was happening beneath the surface.

Learning this framework helped me:
• Understand my interior life instead of reacting to it
• Make better decisions instead of emotional ones
• Recognize what leads to peace, clarity, and courage
• Notice when discouragement or confusion isn’t something to act on

Discernment isn’t just spiritual, it’s practical.
It has shaped how I approach prayer, work, leadership, and major decisions.

I turned the core principles into this carousel because this is a skill everyone should have, especially in high-pressure professional environments.

Not every thought deserves your agreement.
Not every feeling deserves a decision.

Election Shambles Update:

1. California Democrats have turned our state into a global laughing stock. India counts 600 million + ballots in a day. California counts less than 10 million in a MONTH.

2. Make sure YOUR vote is counted. Watch this video for the steps you should take.

3. We're watching everything closely and have lawyers standing by if needed.

4. We're as confident as ever that we will make the top two.

5. As governor I will replace this absurd system. We cannot have another election that makes us look like a "failed state", as @NateSilver538 put it.

Spencer Pratt drags Bill Maher out of his liberal bubble and brought him back down to earth.

Maher was annoyed that Pratt didn’t know the specifics about taxes on solar powered energy, but Pratt humbled him with the REAL problems Angelenos care about.

MAHER: “This is a state that is constantly overthinking everything, and over regulating everything.”

“Trust me, I know. I did whole bits about how it took me three years to get the solar turned on.”

“Solar! Something they want you to have!”

PRATT: “But now they’re taxing you, I think, for having it.”

MAHER: “They are?”

PRATT: “I think so.”

MAHER: “What do you mean you think so?! You have to know!”

PRATT: “I don’t need to know about solar, you know?”

“I need to focus on making sure the moms are safe and the animals are not being abused. That’s my party.”

MAHER: “I know. but if you’re the mayor...”

PRATT: “Solar panels, that’s going to be somebody I’m hiring. That’s my deputy mayor who’s going to worry about the solar panels.”

MAHER: “No, Spencer. I got bad news. If you’re the mayor, you are going to have to learn some of these issues more intricately.”

PRATT: “Solar panels...we’re about three years from worrying about solar panels.”

“We need to get all of the naked drug addicts off of the sidewalks and then I can worry about solar panels.”

MAHER: “We can’t walk and chew gum at the same time?”

PRATT: “With the state of LA right now, solar panels, you’re gonna spit that gum out.”

In this clip, @EricaKomisarCSW argues that day-care is actively harmful for children under three.

Drawing on attachment theory and cortisol research, she explains how separating infants from their primary caregiver elevates stress hormones to levels the developing brain can't handle, laying the groundwork for insecure attachment, emotional dysregulation, and decades later a distrust of institutions, parents, and the world itself.

Living close to Trader Joe’s, I can’t help but laugh every time they do one of these mini bag drops.

You’ll literally see lines wrapping around the store for hours. People just standing there, hopeful they’ll score a tiny insulated tote bag.

And honestly? Today I somehow got sucked into it too.

My kids lose lunchboxes like it’s their full-time job, so I figured one of these bags would actually be a cute, cheap replacement that wouldn’t make me want to cry when it inevitably vanished into thin air.

But casually walking into Trader Joe’s thinking there’d be extras sitting around? Absolutely not. Total wild goose chase.

At the location I went to, employees were strategically putting out tiny batches throughout the day while customers hovered nearby trying to crack the code on timing. The employees stayed impressively calm and completely tight-lipped while people kept fishing for clues.

One employee told me some of these bags supposedly resell overseas for hundreds — even close to $1,000. No clue if that’s actually true, but it did make me stop and think:

Why does something that basically functions as a $5 Amazon lunch bag suddenly turn into this coveted luxury item?

I honestly think it comes down to scarcity.

Trader Joe’s has figured out something a lot of brands miss: people aren’t just buying products. They’re buying the experience. The excitement, the hunt, the nostalgia, the feeling that they got something special before it disappeared.

It honestly reminded me of all the Beanie Baby, Cabbage Patch, and Power Ranger crazes when I was growing up. And there’s something extra powerful when products overlap with kids and family life — parents naturally want in on creating a little magic for their kids.

And in this economy, there’s another layer to it:
Affordable luxury really hits.

A small, fun, hard-to-find item at a low price point gives people a little dopamine hit and sense of victory they may not feel staring at a $2,000 handbag or some huge splurge purchase.

More brands should pay attention to this.

Not every successful marketing strategy needs massive celebrity endorsements or some overly complicated funnel. Sometimes it’s really just about creating delight, scarcity, community, and giving people something fun to hunt for.

Spencer Pratt is employing a strategy very similar to 2016 Donald Trump’s.

2016 Trump put himself in the same position that Pratt is putting himself in, which is to identify a corrupt elite that has weaponized the government against you. Trump put himself in between that corrupt elite and you and said in a nutshell: Listen, you were hurt by this corrupt elite. I came from this elite, and I know how they work, so I'm going to stand in between you and this elite.

For Pratt, the day after he announced his candidacy for mayor, he pre-emptively gave left-leaning voters an off-ramp by essentially saying: Don't think of me as a Republican. Think of me as a person just like you, identifying a problem that has hurt both of us, and providing a solution that will help both of us.

He's identified the elites—Mayor Karen Bass, Councilwoman Nithya Raman, Governor Gavin Newsom—and he's identified problems that Angelenos are suffering from that were caused by these elites. He's not running away from the fact that he's wealthy and famous.

He's doing the same thing that Trump did. He's standing in between, but he's giving people who aren't Republicans permission to vote for him, based on the fact that he's not necessarily associating himself with the Republican brand.

And I have no problem with this. Even if Pratt were to reject a possible endorsement from Trump, who cares?

Pratt is not trying to appeal to Republicans in Los Angeles— Republicans are already going to vote for Pratt. He's trying to appeal to Democrats. And if Democrats have a pre-existing stigma associated with Trump, then an endorsement from Trump wouldn't necessarily help Pratt.

But if Pratt can simply communicate to Democrats:

1) It's OK to change their minds,
2) It's OK to simply look at a problem and see that he— as a political candidate—is offering solutions, and
3) It would be smart to vote for these solutions because they benefit them and their families…

…then that sets Spencer Pratt apart from almost any other politician that I have ever observed.

If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.

Long-form is King. Short-form was always a passing fad. (Plus, it’s bad for your brain.) Marketers are taking note that long-form is the way to build a lasting relationship with customers. https://t.co/1vbXSdk5QH
