Podcasts about Trust

It's God's deep love for us that sustains us through our trials. Today, Joyce shares encouraging insights from her book Unshakeable Trust.

I opened this episode by asking Kaseena Birnbaum about something I'd heard her talk about online: the 72 hour rule, a simple commitment she and her husband made years ago to never go more than three days without prioritizing physical intimacy in some form. What made this conversation different from a lot of marriage talks I've had is how honest Kaseena was about how hard that was for her to actually implement, even though it ended up being, in her words, the single thing that changed their entire marriage. We got into what was really underneath her own resistance early on: unaddressed resentment, unspoken expectations, and a cultural upbringing that made talking openly about sex feel shameful. Kaseena shared the exact moment her husband finally understood that her "no" wasn't rejection of him, just exhaustion in that moment, and how that reframe changed everything for both of them. We also talked through the small, everyday behaviors, being observant, following through on your word, creating emotional safety, that build the kind of trust and attraction that makes physical connection feel natural instead of like an obligation.   Timeline Summary [1:02] Kaseena's unusual name and a lighthearted detour into the pressure of naming your own kids [3:49] Introducing the 72 hour rule and what changed after Kaseena and her husband started following it [6:20] Why implementing the rule was far harder for Kaseena than she expected [9:21] A full introduction to Kaseena: marriage coach, content creator, and mother of two [10:06] Resentment as "the polyp," and why it quietly grows until it becomes something much bigger [11:26] Unpacking unspoken and unmet expectations as the root of most disconnection [16:12] Larry announces the first-ever Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals, November 15th [16:49] Naming an expectation your spouse never actually agreed to isn't really their failure [17:51] The Instagram story that resonated with Larry: flirting all day, then feeling "smoked" by evening [19:53] Understanding the "baby mode" reaction men fall into after being turned down [24:03] The moment Kaseena's husband learned that her "no" wasn't rejection, just exhaustion [25:48] What specific behaviors outside the bedroom actually build attraction and trust [29:06] Larry announces a rare, small-group preview of the Dad Edge Business Boardroom Brotherhood [31:05] Getting curious instead of triggered when your spouse is having an off day [34:23] The two or three things Kaseena hears most often from clients in crisis [37:35] How Kaseena coaches couples: identifying the one shift that will move the needle fastest [41:13] Why small, consistent follow-through matters more than big romantic gestures [42:19] The grocery list example: how small broken promises quietly erode trust [43:47] Why offering two specific options works better than an open-ended "what can I help you with" [45:01] What Kaseena is most excited about next for her mission and message [48:10] Where to find Kaseena and the 72 hour rule challenge   Five Key Takeaways Resentment behaves like a polyp: not every instance turns into something serious, but nearly every serious breakdown started as an unaddressed resentment that was left to grow. Most disconnection in a marriage traces back to expectations that were never actually communicated out loud. If your spouse doesn't know what you expect, you can't fairly hold them accountable for missing it. A "no" to intimacy is often a no to the current moment, not a rejection of your spouse as a person. Understanding that distinction can remove years of unnecessary hurt and insecurity. Trust is built or broken in small, ordinary moments, following through on what you said you'd do, being observant, noticing when something's off, far more than through grand gestures. When your spouse is overwhelmed or triggered, respond with curiosity instead of reacting personally. Getting curious about what's really going on defuses conflict far faster than matching their energy.   Links & Resources Making Marriage Sexy: https://www.instagram.com/makingmarriagesexy The Dad Edge Day at State Farm Stadium: https://thedadedge.com/nfl The Dad Edge Podcast: https://thedadedge.com/1532 The Dad Edge Boardroom Mastermind: https://thedadedge.com/guest   Closing What's staying with me from this conversation is how simple Kaseena's reframe actually is: a no is usually a no to the moment, not a no to you. So much unnecessary hurt in a marriage comes from taking things personally that were never meant that way. Whether it's the 72 hour rule, addressing an expectation you've never said out loud, or just getting curious instead of defensive the next time your spouse is having a hard day, small, consistent shifts are what actually rebuild connection. Go out and live legendary.

Sis, if you overthink and overanalyze every choice — what do I eat next, when can I eat, is this the right thing to eat?  — and you wonder if you'll ever escape the nonsense, this episode is for you. Today I'm sharing one of my very favorite recovery tools for the woman stuck in analysis paralysis, self-sabotage, and perfectionism. Because here's the thing — waiting to feel 100% certain before you act is exactly what's keeping you stuck. And the eating disorder loves it that way. Let me show you a better way to decide. First, a word on purpose Before I get into the tool, I have to share the devotional that lit a fire in me this morning: purpose is more about realignment than achievement. You are a workmanship, created in His image and for His purpose — and your identity is found in your design, not in your passions or your resume. How you see yourself will determine what you see for yourself. So often it's your past — the ups and the downs — that blocks you from believing your potential. And that's directly linked to today's tool, because when you don't believe something is for you, you block your own ability to act on it. The tool: you don't need 100% — just 51% Here's the whole thing, and it's beautifully simple: you never need to be 100% sure about a decision. You just need to be 51% sure — slightly more convinced it's the right choice than not. I call it a "rule," but honestly, sis? It's the opposite of a rule. You're a perfectionist drowning in food rules and shoulds already — this is the one that sets you free from needing to be perfectly certain. Think of it as permission. Because total certainty is rare, and waiting to feel fully confident is what's keeping you from living. The eating disorder demands 100% (hello, Queen of Perfection) — and that demand creates paralysis. Recovery doesn't require perfect confidence. It just requires the next step. And God can't bless the actions you don't take. How to apply it — 3 steps 1. Acknowledge the uncertainty. Feeling uncertain is normal — you're about to do something brave, and brave is scary. Not knowing what to eat next or what your body needs doesn't make you a failure. You don't need all the answers. The assignment is just to go. 2. Listen to your recovery voice. Ask: What would my recovered self do? What aligns with where I'm headed? What would my support circle tell me to do? (And if you don't have a strong circle yet — sis, you can't do this alone. Come find one.) I tell my clients: if you won't grant yourself permission, take mine. 3. Make the 51% choice now. No delaying. If your recovery voice is even slightly louder than the eating disorder voice, that's enough. Lean in. Trust that 51% sure is enough to move. What 51% looks like in real life The snack: You're not 100% ready, but you're 51% convinced it supports your health. That's enough. What's in the pantry? Let's go. Getting support: You've thought about coaching off and on — maybe she could help me. If you're leaning toward even the idea, that's 51%. That's enough to take action. The dinner out: You don't know if you're ready for the Mexican restaurant with friends — but a small part of you knows isolation won't serve your recovery. That small part is the 51%. That's enough to say yes. Why it works: you're building evidence Every 51% decision in favor of your recovery does something powerful — you build evidence in your brain that you can trust yourself. Your true voice gets louder. The eating disorder voice gets quieter, because you're no longer taking its orders. You create real momentum for healing (not a Band-Aid on a bullet hole), and you practice flexibility over perfectionism. You get to be Queen Flexibility. Queen Spontaneity. You do not have to be Queen Perfection. And when the percentages feel really close and you still aren't sure? Celebrate making the decision at all — focus on the process of deciding, not the result. Treat each choice as an experiment and a learning opportunity. Recovery isn't about being 100%. It's about being brave enough to choose you — one 51% decision at a time. A few lines from the episode "You don't need to be completely sure. You just need to be sure enough." "The eating disorder demands 100% — and that demand creates paralysis." "If you won't grant yourself permission, take mine." "Every 51% decision builds evidence in your brain that you can trust yourself." "You can be Queen Flexibility. You do not have to be Queen Perfection." "God can't bless the actions you don't take." Your assignment this week Notice the moments where you can apply it. When a decision comes up, ask: Am I 51% convinced this supports the direction I want to live? Am I 51% convinced this supports my recovery? If yes — step forward. Messy, sloppy, "I don't know" action all counts. The point is to move. Ready for a circle that helps you decide? You were never meant to do this alone — and having support makes every one of these decisions easier. Connect with Lindsey:

“Are you sure you should be eating that?” If you've ever changed your nutrition only to discover that suddenly EVERYONE has an opinion about what's on your plate, this Friday Extra Credit episode of FAT LOSS SCHOOL is for you! Maybe a family member questions your carbs, a coworker raises an eyebrow at your lunch, or a well-meaning friend wants to tell you about the diet THEY think you should be following. Even comments like, “But you don't need to diet!” can leave you questioning yourself. In this quick lesson, we're talking about how to handle unsolicited diet and nutrition advice without letting other people's opinions derail your healthy habits or fat-loss progress. You'll learn how to: Stop feeling like you have to defend or explain what's on your plate. Separate someone's intentions from the actual advice they're giving you. Prepare a few simple responses for uncomfortable food conversations. Trust the nutrition approach that's working for YOU. Stay confident when friends or family follow very different diets. Recognize when someone's comments may be more about their own food beliefs than yours. Lean on a coach and supportive community instead of trying to navigate your health journey alone. Especially for women over 50, sustainable nutrition isn't about eating as little as possible or following every new diet trend. It's about fueling your body, preserving muscle, getting stronger, supporting your health, and creating habits you can actually maintain. And having the right people in your corner makes that so much easier. If you're ready to learn the foundational strategies, join my 6-week FASTer Way class for women 50+.

Ted Edginton has spent 25 years doing mortgages the hard way. In person, on the phone, at the closing table.He started this business straight out of Michigan State, driving around town with paper checks for his clients' loans. One blew right out his car window on Hall Road. He turned around, got it reprinted, and still made it to the closing.That's basically been his whole career since. He built a team with 60 years of combined experience between them, and every client still gets treated like the actual person they are, not a number moving down a pipeline. He calls it working the bookends. First time buyers figuring out how to afford housing on one side. Retirees trying to downsize without blowing their budget on the other. Both need someone willing to sit down and ask what's really going on.Here's what we got into.→ Why AI can quote you a rate but it can't tell you what your family actually needs→ The real math behind why home prices keep climbing even when nobody feels ready→ The occupancy fraud he's watching lenders push on people right now→ Why getting treated like a commodity is costing people the house they actually wantClients keep telling Ted the same thing after their first conversation with him. Nobody else brought this up. That's not luck. That's 25 years of listening before he ever starts talking.Thanks to Ted for making the time to sit down and talk shop.

What if changes in your sex life aren't simply part of getting older—but could be telling you something about your overall health?In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, intimacy and sexual wellness expert Susan Bratton joins us for a candid, educational conversation about the surprising connections between sexual health, blood flow, hormones, brain health, relationships, healthy aging and longevity.Susan makes a provocative case: we pay attention to sleep, nutrition, exercise and recovery as markers of health—but should our intimate health deserve a place in that conversation too?We explore why changes in erectile function, arousal, sensation and libido may sometimes deserve more attention than simply writing them off as “getting older.” Susan also explains the role she believes blood flow, nitric oxide, hormones and the nervous system can play in maintaining sexual wellness as we age.But this conversation goes well beyond physiology.Why do couples who once had a strong connection sometimes become roommates? Why can desire change even when two people still love each other? And can intimacy actually become better—not worse—as we get older?Susan shares her perspective on:• Sexual health as a potential window into overall wellness• Blood flow, nitric oxide and sexual function• Libido and changes that occur with aging• Hormones, arousal and the nervous system• Why men and women may experience arousal differently• The relationship between intimacy, connection and longevity• Why couples can gradually lose physical connection• Rebuilding intimacy when you've grown apart• Trust, safety, novelty and long-term relationships• Why communication may matter as much as technique• Maintaining intimacy through midlife and beyond• Sexual wellness as part of a larger healthy-aging strategySusan also challenges one of the biggest assumptions surrounding aging:What if losing intimacy isn't something we simply have to accept?This episode is frank, funny and occasionally provocative—but underneath it is a serious conversation about human connection, relationships, sexual wellness and what it means to remain healthy and engaged throughout life.If you're interested in longevity, men's health, women's health, relationships, hormones, cardiovascular health or maintaining intimacy as you age, this is a conversation worth hearing.▶️ Watch to the end and tell us in the comments: Should sexual health be considered another important marker of overall health?And if conversations like this help you think differently about your health, subscribe to Crackin' Backs.

Athlete buy-in is not created by a training program alone. It is earned through trust, consistent communication, and a genuine investment in each athlete.In this episode of the Samson Strength Coach Collective, Isaiah Myers shares his journey from collegiate wrestler to strength and conditioning coach. He reflects on his experiences at West Liberty, Mississippi State, Cincinnati, and Glenville State, along with the challenges of completing demanding internships and moving across multiple states.Isaiah explains how uncomfortable situations helped him develop perseverance and adaptability throughout his career. He also discusses how coaches can earn athlete trust by building meaningful relationships, following up consistently, and using performance data to connect an athlete's effort with measurable progress.Key Takeaways:Athlete buy-in begins with genuine relationships and trust.Coaches must consistently demonstrate that they care about their athletes.Following up with athletes can strengthen communication and accountability.Performance data can help athletes recognize the results of their effort.Coaches should explain why progress is happening, not simply present the numbers.Challenging internships can develop perseverance and adaptability.Uncomfortable career experiences often create valuable opportunities for growth.Coaches must continue learning and adjusting throughout their careers.Quote:“This is happening because you put the work in.” — Isaiah Myers

What if confidence doesn't come before action, but because of it? In this episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff explains why waiting until you feel confident can keep you stuck, and how taking small actions creates the evidence your brain needs to trust yourself. Cindra shares the idea of building a Confidence Bank, where every courageous action, follow-through, recovered mistake, and small win becomes another deposit. Over time, those deposits change the way you see yourself and help you face future challenges with greater confidence. In this episode, you'll learn: Why confidence often follows action rather than comes before it How to make daily deposits into your Confidence Bank Why small wins can build stronger confidence than waiting for one big achievement How your brain tends to remember failures more easily than successes The simple "Capture Your Wins" practice for collecting evidence of your progress Three questions to ask yourself each night to strengthen self-trust Power Phrase: "I can trust myself." You don't need to feel completely confident before you move. Take the action, collect the evidence, and build your confidence one deposit at a time.

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau turns this conversation with Jeff into a question most of us don't ask directly: what do we actually pass down to our kids, and what can we choose not to? Sophie, a mental health advocate, author, and former first partner of Canada, draws on attachment theory to explain how the bond we form with a caregiver in our first years quietly runs how we raise our own kids, unless we do something about it. Secure, anxious-ambivalent, avoidant, and disorganized attachment, and how each style shows up in parenting Why explicit parenting advice rarely lands, and what kids absorb from us instead How chronic stress hijacks the nervous system's ability to trust, in parents and kids alike Screens as a substitute attachment object, and what that actually displaces What actually breaks generational cycles of trauma and addiction This episode is for any parent thinking about the emotional inheritance they're passing down.

Your loved one is sober. They're getting help. They're doing better.So why is it still so hard to trust them?In this episode, Dr. Kibby McMahon explains why trust doesn't automatically return when someone enters addiction recovery. After months or years of broken promises, secrecy, unpredictability, or hurt, you may still be waiting for proof that things are really different.You'll learn why recovery and rebuilding trust often happen on two different timelines, why constantly checking or monitoring your loved one can make things harder, and what actually helps trust grow again.Dr. Kibby also shares practical ways to rebuild trust through consistency, clear agreements, realistic expectations, and boundaries, without feeling like you have to become your loved one's detective.If you love someone recovering from addiction, you don't have to force yourself to trust them overnight. Trust can be rebuilt slowly, through consistent actions over time.

Most retreat leaders believe the answer to growing their business is another strategy.   Another funnel. Another marketing tactic. Another social media platform.   But what if the greatest opportunity isn't changing what you do...it's changing the energy you bring to everything you do?   In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with Michelle Villalobos, business strategist, retreat leader, and creator of the Business Breakthrough Program, to discuss why energy precedes outcomes and how your internal alignment directly impacts your retreat business.   Michelle has facilitated more than 150 retreats and helped thousands of entrepreneurs create businesses built around freedom, recurring revenue, and meaningful impact. Together, Shannon and Michelle explore why retreat leaders often focus on external strategies while overlooking the beliefs, stories, and mindset quietly shaping every decision they make.   They also discuss what it means to become Energy Rich, why guests can feel the difference between confidence and scarcity, and how limiting beliefs influence everything from pricing to marketing to enrollment.   If you've been working harder but not seeing the results you expected, this conversation may completely change how you think about building a profitable retreat business.   In This Episode You'll Learn Why energy always comes before strategy What it means to become Energy Rich How limiting beliefs affect retreat pricing Why guests feel your confidence before they hear your pitch How alignment creates stronger leadership and better retreats The connection between authentic leadership and profitable retreats How to build a retreat business rooted in purpose instead of fear Whether you're planning your first retreat or you've been leading transformational experiences for years, this episode will help you lead from a place of greater confidence, clarity, and authenticity.   What You'll Learn How to build a profitable retreat business How to create recurring revenue with retreats Why mindset impacts retreat marketing and sales How authentic leadership attracts ideal retreat guests Why energy influences retreat enrollment How to overcome limiting beliefs around pricing What it means to become an Energy Rich entrepreneur Key Takeaways Strategy Can't Outperform MisalignmentThe best marketing strategy in the world won't compensate for fear, doubt, or scarcity. Guests feel your energy before they ever buy your retreat. Energy Rich Doesn't Mean High Energy Michelle explains that true leadership comes from alignment, not constant hustle. Being calm, grounded, and authentic creates far more influence than trying to do more.   Your Beliefs Shape Your Business The stories you tell yourself about money, worth, pricing, and success quietly influence every business decision you make.   Retreat Leaders Sell More Than Retreats People invest in the person leading the experience. Confidence, authenticity, and clarity create trust long before someone clicks "Book Now."   Freedom Is Built Intentionally Retreats can become a powerful recurring revenue stream when they're built from alignment rather than obligation.   About Michelle Villalobos Michelle Villalobos, MBA, CSP®, is a business strategist, retreat leader, and transformational leadership expert who has spent nearly two decades helping coaches, consultants, speakers, and thought leaders build scalable businesses through transformational experiences.   She has designed and facilitated more than 150 multi-day retreats, consulted on hundreds more, and is the creator of Business Breakthrough, an incubator that helps entrepreneurs build aligned business models with recurring revenue and greater freedom.   Through her Retreats to Riches training and more than 800 YouTube videos, Michelle teaches entrepreneurs how to design, market, fill, and lead retreats that create unforgettable experiences while generating sustainable income.   Learn more: https://superstaractivator.com   Free Gift for Listeners: The Retreats to Riches Roadmap & Quick Start Guide and Big Back End Revenue Projections Calculator www.superstargifts.com   The Retreat Leaders Podcast Resources and Links: Join our Mastermind in Austin!

A Special Gift (00:01:25) Michelle presents Shannon with a beautifully illustrated book she created, titled "But I Want to Fly," an adventure book for dreamers. Who Are You at Your Core? (00:03:02) Michelle discusses her identity beyond professional roles, defining herself as a creator, contributor, teacher, and philosopher at her core. Energy Precedes Outcome (00:04:14) Michelle explains her core concept: aligning what you do with who you are naturally elevates your energy and leads to better outcomes. Becoming Energy Rich (00:04:44) The concept of being "energy rich" is explored, involving alignment with your purpose and cultivating the feelings you want to experience. Authenticity in Leadership (00:08:26) Shannon shares a personal story about finding her authentic voice while teaching, emphasizing the importance of being genuine as a leader. The Power of "Both, And" (00:10:45) The discussion shifts to embracing duality, recognizing that two opposing ideas, like holding healing space and making money, can coexist. Reframing Your Past (00:12:09) Michelle shares a personal story of betrayal, illustrating how reframing a painful past can be an empowering catalyst for awakening and growth. Can You Lead from an Open Wound? (00:15:52) The speakers discuss whether you can lead a successful retreat without having done the inner work, concluding you must embody your teachings. The Danger of Masking (00:18:18) The conversation covers the problem of pretending to be healed, which energetically teaches others to mask their own pain instead of healing. Congruency and Trust (00:19:24) Using horses as an example, Shannon explains that congruency—showing up as you are, even if not okay—is key to building trust. The Power of Community (00:21:51) Michelle explains that while she works one-on-one with clients, the biggest transformations happen in community and being witnessed by others. From Strategy to Energy (00:23:14) Michelle describes how her business retreats evolved from focusing on strategy to incorporating inner work, breathwork, and other healing modalities. Belief Over Strategy (00:24:32) Shannon emphasizes that no marketing strategy can overcome a leader's lack of belief in their own retreat; energy comes first. Detaching from the Outcome (00:25:42) The importance of surrendering the outcome while remaining fully committed to the process is discussed as a key to success. Limiting Beliefs and Pricing (00:30:07) The conversation explores how limiting beliefs, especially for women, impact pricing, with most leaders tending to undercharge for their services. The Retreat Business Model (00:30:43) Michelle shares her model of using a retreat as a breakthrough experience that opens the door to long-term, recurring revenue programs. Standing in Your Price (00:33:23) The concept of "standing in your price" is explored, highlighting the need for congruence and genuine belief in the value offered. The Promise of Your Retreat (00:38:14) A retreat's promise elevates it from a generic getaway, allowing for a higher price point and attracting the right participants. Michelle's Upcoming Work (00:39:08) Michelle shares details about her Business Breakthrough Intensive, which helps thought leaders build community-based programs with recurring revenue. A Gift for Listeners (00:40:13) Michelle offers a free retreat projections spreadsheet to help leaders plan their numbers, from pricing and attendance to conversion rates. The Story Behind the Book (00:40:54) Michelle shares the inspiring story of how her book, "But I Want to Fly," came to her in a dream.

Trust is the real currency of email marketing, and most people try to earn it the hard way. In this episode, Igor lays out a simpler path: showing your audience you already understand their struggle before you ever ask them for anything. He explains why the marketers who win are usually the ones building lists of people just like themselves, why a shared experience creates instant connection, and why he's willing to tell unflattering stories about his own family to build it. Plus, the counterintuitive answer to what you should actually be mailing your list about.

In this Church on the Move Roswell message Pastor Troy Smothermon shares Romans 8:5–8 and Ephesians 6:10–13, urging listeners not to make decisions from pain, anger, or despair but to step back, stand, and pray, recognizing spiritual battles behind many issues. The main teaching, “Trust the Process,” uses Philippians 1:6 and Mark 4:26–29 to emphasize God's growth process, warning against shortcuts and compromise, and encouraging humility, ongoing maturity, and cooperation with God's workmanship. The service ends with an invitation to surrender to Jesus and a salvation prayer.

You've spent years taking care of everyone else. But somewhere along the way, you may have stopped asking, "What about me?" In Episode 268, How Small Acts of Courage Build Midlife Confidence, we explore why midlife confidence doesn't always come first. Sometimes, you have to take the small brave step before you feel ready. I talk with Katherine Leamy, The 5 Kilo Traveler, about how small acts of courage can help you trust yourself again and get unstuck in midlife. Katherine shares how a planned girls' trip turned into her first solo adventure—and why saying yes to herself changed far more than the way she traveled. We talk about the fear that can keep women stuck, the voices that tell us we can't, and why you don't have to feel confident before you take the first step. You'll discover how small brave choices can help you: Build midlife confidence through action Move through fear and self-doubt Trust yourself to make your own decisions Stop waiting until you feel "ready" Get unstuck without making one huge life change Because courage doesn't always look like getting on a plane by yourself. Sometimes it's simply deciding that what you want matters, too.   What's something you've been wanting to do, but keep holding yourself back from? Email me at heike@heikeyates.com and tell me. I read every email personally, and I'll write you back. Maybe that email will be your first deposit into your own Bank Account of Courage.   Connect with Katherine: www.the5kilotraveller.com katherine@the5kilotraveller.com Mentioned in the episode: Take a look at my book,  Pursue Your Spark    

What if the reason you feel exhausted isn't that you're doing too much, but because your business is designed in a way that requires you to do everything? You've tried taking time off, hiring more people, and getting more organized, but nothing has changed. You're still the one solving problems, making decisions, and holding everything together. You're not doing anything wrong, but you're stuck. Your business is structured around you, and when everything flows through you, you don't get relief, space, or time to lead. The key isn't working less, but it's about redesigning how your team operates. When that shifts, your team will step up, problems will stop stacking up, and you will get time back. In this episode, you'll discover why burnout is a symptom (NOT the root problem), the hidden ways businesses become owner-dependent, why high-performing entrepreneurs become the bottleneck, what needs to shift to create real time freedom, and how sustainably profitable businesses are intentionally designed. Trust us–no amount of rest will fix a business that still requires you to carry it all. If your business looks successful on paper but feels exhausting in real life, this conversation will help you understand why—and what to do next. Ready to build a business that supports your life?

When Prayers Seem To Go UnansweredJeremiah 32:27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too hard for me?”I liked this verse for today because this idea has been on my mind lately. The Lord has been telling our prayer group a lot over the last several years that we are not asking for too much; we are asking for too little. Just last November, He said, "My children, I want you to call out to me. I long to bless you, to bless your families, to bless your communities, to bless your world. When you call to me, you open the floodgates of my love and my mercy. Ask for more; you are asking for too little. I have much to give you. I have much to bless you with. Trust in me.” Isn't that amazing? The fact that God is telling us we are asking for too little. I have been thinking about this a lot lately because I don't know about you, but I have been asking God for some pretty big things lately. Just recently, I asked God to heal my friend miraculously. He had surgery that seemed to go well, but then, when taking the instruments out, the surgeons nicked an artery. Then he seemed to be doing better, and then all of his organs shut down, and he didn't make it. I was really surprised, as God said we were asking for too little, and this definitely wasn't little. If I can be honest with you, I don't understand this. I don't understand when we pray and our prayers aren't answered. I wonder if you struggle with this too? I wonder if you have some pretty big prayers that seem like they weren't answered either.When I asked the Lord about this, He told me my prayer was answered, just not in the way I wanted it to be. My friend Brian is completely healed now. He no longer has the disorder that was attacking his body and making life so hard for him. He no longer needs to be on oxygen and have surgery after surgery. He is no longer suffering. I understand that. I also know God could have healed all of that on this side of Heaven also, so that is where I get lost sometimes. I heard a speaker this weekend. Sister Tracy Dougas, who is a nun with the Daughters of St. Paul.She said something during her talk that helped me understand this a little better. She brought our attention to 1 John 5:14, “And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” Sister Tracy encouraged us to consult the Holy Spirit and ask Him how to pray for whoever or whatever we are praying for. For instance, before I prayed for my friend, I could have stopped and asked the Holy Spirit how I should pray for this person. What should I pray for for this person? She reminded us that God knows so much more than we know. He can see the whole picture, whereas we can only see a tiny fraction of the picture.She reminded us of Luke 11:11-13: “What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” The Lord knows what we need better than we do. If we try to give our kids the best we can in our flawed state, how much better will the Lord give us what is best for us?God's ways are higher than our ways, and God's thoughts are not our thoughts. Sister Tracy said God is probably looking down at us and thinking we are asking for a whole lot of serpents. We don't see all the twists and turns that are ahead of us. We don't realize that if we get that job we want, then we will be working more than we thought or commuting more than we thought. We don't know that if we buy that house that we thought we really wanted, we won't actually be able to afford it and will end up stressed out with no money. We don't know that if we go on that trip, we will get into a car accident. We can't see the future; only God can. When our prayers aren't answered in the way we want them to be, it is because God has something better planned for us, or because He is preventing us, or those we are praying for, from something. God knows what He is doing. He is working all things for our good. That doesn't mean that He doesn't allow bad things to happen. That doesn't mean that we have to like everything that is happening. It does mean that we don't have to lose all hope and fall into despair when something happens or when our prayers aren't answered in the way we want them to be. It means that we can be sad and also be assured that God is in the situation, working it for good in some way. I heard an analogy once from Pamela Crim during an episode of the Big Life Devotional Podcast that really stuck with me. She said God uses all things for our good, but that doesn't mean he makes that thing that happened good. Her analogy was using crap as fertilizer. It stinks and is not pleasant. Yet farmers use that crap to fertilize their land. It helps beautiful things grow. Fertilizers are applied to replace the essential nutrients for plant growth in the soil after they have been depleted. So, fertilizer replaces the nutrients that have been lost so crops, flowers, grass, and whatever you are trying to grow can grow better. However, that fertilizer is still crap. It doesn't all of a sudden become a beautiful plant. It doesn't all of a sudden smell better. The crap still remains crap; however, the farmer is able to use that crap to make something good grow out of it.This is similar to the crap that happens in our life. God isn't turning that bad thing into good. However, he is able to help good grow from it. For instance, I do not look back at all the really difficult times with my boys and think they were good times. I still think they were really hard times. Yet, now I can see the beautiful fruit I got out of those hard times. I am a much more patient person. I can give control over to the Lord much more easily. I have a trust I might not have otherwise had. I have a persistence and determination that I might not have otherwise had.I still don't know why God didn't heal my friend on this side of heaven. I think we aren't necessarily supposed to understand everything God does. He says we should approach Him as little children. Little children don't always need to know the why. I do know that although I am really sad that my friend lost her husband and my other friends lost one of their best friends. I know God did answer my prayer. My friend's husband is healed and no longer suffering. I know God will use this situation for good, and there will be beautiful fruit that comes out of it. I was talking to my friend the other day, and I said, “God, can't you give her a break?” And she said He has been giving her breaks all along the journey. She said she could see Him all over this. So, I am looking forward to hearing her testimony as to where she saw God in all of this hardship. I honor her and admire how she can see God in the middle of all her suffering. I pray that we can all be that lucky!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode. Lord, help us to see you in everything. Help us to trust that if you don't answer our prayers the way we would like, it is because you have something better in mind. Help us to ask for more, Lord, even when we don't understand. When we feel you haven't answered our prayers, help us to see how you have. Help us to keep asking for more, Lord. Lord, help us to stop and ask the Holy Spirit to show us how to pray in each and every situation. We love you, Lord! We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus ' holy name. Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk Boldly with Jesus. “If there's something you've been praying and waiting for, and you feel comfortable sharing it, I'd love for you to reach out and let me know. I would be honored to pray with you and for you during this Hope in the Waiting series.” I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I!

As Islamic finance accelerates digital adoption, we ask whether Shariah governance frameworks are robust enough to preserve trust and accountability. We examine how market-led oversight models are responding to AI-driven decision-making, automated product flows, tokenisation and cross-border digital services already in use. We discuss emerging governance gaps, fragmentation risks and what credible, coordinated Shariah oversight looks like in practice.Moderator:Dr Jonathan Ercanbrack, Chair, Centre of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law, School of Oriental and African StudiesPanelists:Mufti Faraz Adam, Leading Global Advisor, Islamic Finance, Fintech and Digital AssetsProf Dr Imam Uddin, Associate Dean – Industry Relations, College of Business Management and Director, Centre for Islamic Business and FinanceMohammed Saifullah Khan, Chief Executive Officer, Ebdaa Islamic Finance ConsultancySefian Kasem, Global Head of ETF and Indexing Investment Specialists and Lead Investment Specialist Portfolio Advisory and OCIO, HSBC Global Asset Management

Are you relying on cynicism and hyper-vigilance under the assumption that distrust keeps you safe—only to realize it's contracting your income, opportunities, and joy? In this session, we unpack a profound Divine Download revealing why treating distrust as a protective shield subtly trains you to expect less from life, money, and relationships. Ambitious spiritual leaders often mistake cynicism for wisdom, unconsciously scanning for danger, betrayal, or disappointment. These defensive behaviours end up recreating the exact restrictions they fear. By retraining your internal lens, letting go of past data as future prophecy, and choosing to trust again, you open the energetic pathway required to build a predictable $5K–$10K+ monthly reality in your true design. If you are ready to stop using your past as a prophecy, dismantle subconscious self-protection loops, and step into childlike trust to allow expanded prosperity into your life, this session provides the exact internal alignment you need. In this video, you will explore: • Why calling cynicism "maturity" or "being realistic" contracts your ability to receive new wealth • How hyper-vigilance and scanning for threats actively blinds you to present opportunities • The subtle ways self-protective behaviours accidentally attract the exact responses you fear • Why past mistakes and betrayals are merely old data—not a prophecy for your future • How to deliberately retrain your perception to hunt for evidence of support, favor, and abundance ---

Why does a good God allow the desert–and why does he wait so long to bring us out of it? Kathryn Davis examines Isaiah's message of destruction and restoration, showing how Christ's role as both “restorer” and “repairer” offers a framework for trusting God's timing even when prayers go unanswered.YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/6fRn2NPCiQ4ALL EPISODES/SHOW NOTESfollowHIM website: https://www.followHIM.coSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/followHIMpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/followhimpodcastTIMECODES00:00 Beginning of Episode - Kathryn Davis00:28 A Marvelous Work and a Wonder00:54 Welcome and Intro2:26 Finding Jesus Christ in difficult Isaiah chapters5:43 Meet Kathryn Davis8:18 Jesus Christ as Restorer10:27 Inviting the Holy Ghost into our learning13:04 Why Jesus asks us to Study Isaiah16:53 Slow Down19:21 Isaiah 12–Trust and do not be afraid21:14 Babylon as a symbol and a burden25:40 Natural consequences and a God who still restores29:57 Pride and trusting ourselves instead of God31:08 “God's not worried about my son”33:45 Isaiah 14–After scattering comes gathering38:10 Jesus Christ–the Repairer of the breach42:32 The fall of Babylon and Lucifer45:57 Stop looking elsewhere to be saved47:26 The gospel is simple–Choose Him50:07 The Stripling Warriors were all wounded52:59 Recognizing Christ by His scars54:35 Who are you going to trust?59:12 the Assyrian army approaches Jerusalem1:02:56 Shebna, Eliakim, and “the nail in the sure place”1:07:44 The God of the 4th Watch1:09:55 Why does God sometimes wait?1:13:20 Saved in the fire, not from it1:17:51 Comfortable gods and divine discontent1:21:38 Apostasy, restoration, and the gospel feast1:26:50 Perfect peace–Where are you looking?1:29:40 Trust the plan and its Maker1:32:18 Gathered, repaired, and rescued one-by-one1:36:49 “A voice speaking from the dust”1:39:27 A marvelous work1:42:21 The power is in the words1:45:19 The Lord will wait, that He may be gracious1:47:31 Isaiah points us toward a Person1:48:23 The desert is not the end1:50:04 I will trust1:52:08 Closing thoughts and testimony1:53:05 End of Episode - Kathryn DavisThanks to the followHIM team:Steve & Shannon Sorensen: Cofounder, Executive Producer, SponsorDavid & Verla Sorensen: SponsorsDr. Hank Smith: Co-hostJohn Bytheway: Co-hostDavid Perry: ProducerKyle Nelson: Marketing, SponsorLisa Spice: Client Relations, Editor, Show NotesWill Stoughton: Video EditorKrystal Roberts: Translation Team, English & French Transcripts, WebsiteAriel Cuadra: Spanish TranscriptsAmelia Kabwika: Portuguese TranscriptsHeather Barlow: Communications DirectorSydney Smith: Social Media, Graphic Design"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonaldhttps://www.marshallmcdonaldmusic.comWe'd love to hear your thoughts; send us a voice note.

I found Brit on YouTube through her videos about divine feminine spirituality and how patriarchy co-opted what we know as spirituality, and I loved her perspective, how historical she is, and how knowledgeable she is. She actually helps us genuinely understand these things we kind of talk about in this field but can't quite prove with facts, history, and research. In this episode we explore:

A conference in San Francisco hears from Open AI's boss, Sam Altman, who says the world should trust his industry's ability to do the right thing, amid concerns that it's developing too quickly. But speakers at a rival conference held in Washington, DC, call for greater regulation. Also: the Pentagon issues a report which says the Iran war has left the US military with a shortfall of munitions. All support acts for the British singer, Ed Sheeran, withdraw from his US tour in solidarity with Macklemore, who was dropped from the line-up for making pro-Palestinian remarks. Villagers in England voice their anger about immigration by holding a symbolic referendum to leave the UK. And the mother in the US who's been put on the child abuse and neglect register for allowing her five-year-old son to go on a walk by himself.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Send us Fan MailA dog that “can't bond with anyone” sits in a kennel, passed over by handler after handler, until one leader recognizes something painfully familiar in those guarded eyes. We're joined by Chris Bingham, a veteran law enforcement officer and longtime K9 handler, to talk about the kind of first responder mental health story that doesn't get enough airtime: abandonment, mentorship, grief, and the deep need to belong.Chris takes us back to growing up without a consistent father figure, how that absence can harden trust, and why animals can feel safer than people when you're carrying old wounds. From there, we follow the moments that shaped his career in policing and canine units, including the mentors who built his confidence through tough love and high standards. We also sit with the losses that change you, including losing K9 partners to cancer and the sudden death of a mentor who filled a father role.Then we meet Tambo, Chris's retired canine partner, currently going through chemotherapy. We unpack what real K9 partnership looks like beyond the highlight reel: routine, repetition, consistency, and the skill of reading change of behavior in detection work. Chris also shares a powerful truth for every first responder: your emotional state travels down the lead, and learning to regulate yourself is part of protecting your partner and doing the job well. (Update: Unfortunately, Tambo passed away in September 2026, prior to the release of this podcast episode)Visit their Instagram: @k9_tambo  Go vote for Tambo in memoriam at American Humane Hero Dog Award at  https://www.americanhumane.org/hero-dog/tambo/You can buy Chris' book at this address: https://www.amazon.com/Defying-Odds-K9-Tambo-Story-ebook/dp/B0HDM7NZKL?ref_=ast_author_mpbIf you care about police wellness, K9 teams, leadership, and resilience after loss, this conversation will stick with you.

You guys… I brought my HUSBAND on the podcast and I am literally not OK

This week's Alliance Q&A is one I think a lot of you will relate to, even if you've never said it out loud. A member named Eric brought a question on behalf of a close friend who's in a genuinely rough season with his marriage, arguments about a job, about help around the house, about who's doing enough for the kids. Rather than treat it as a surface-level scheduling problem, we spent this entire episode digging into what's actually happening underneath, because I've coached enough men to know the surface complaint is almost never the real issue. We get into the real needs driving most marital conflict, why a woman needs to feel seen, heard, and safe, and why a man needs respect, appreciation, and physical affection, and what happens when both partners stop meeting those needs and start reacting to each other instead. I introduce the concept of the emotional bank account, a term I credit to researcher John Gottman, and share a personal example of learning the hard way that not all acts of service are created equal. We also talk through "nice guy syndrome" and its unattractive cousin, people-pleasing, and I introduce a book that's helped me completely reframe how I show up for Jessica: G.S. Youngblood's three-part framework of responding instead of reacting, leading with structure, and always providing safety.   Timeline Summary [1:02] Introducing today's Alliance Q&A and the friend's marriage situation Eric is bringing forward [2:24] The staggering statistic: only about 12% of married couples have a genuinely thriving marriage [3:16] Eric lays out the surface-level arguments: the job, help around the house, time with the kids [6:19] Establishing the marriage timeline and when things started to unravel [8:16] Asking whether the job is really the issue, or just where the resentment gets pointed [8:38] Larry announces the first-ever Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals, November 15th [10:40] The real needs at play: seen, heard, and safe for her; respected, appreciated, and affection for him [12:14] Whether he's actually meeting those needs, and the common trap of guessing instead of asking [13:58] The reactive cycle: unmet needs on one side triggering unattractive behavior on the other [15:09] Introducing the five love languages and why they aren't one-size-fits-all [15:51] Introducing the emotional bank account and why not all acts of service move the needle [16:09] Larry's own car wash story, and the moment he learned what actually mattered to his wife [18:49] The question worth asking your spouse: what exactly is happening when you feel most loved [21:41] Naming "nice guy syndrome" and the pattern of doing things with a hidden expectation attached [23:22] Confirming he's a people pleaser, and why that trait is deeply unattractive to a woman [23:48] Introducing G.S. Youngblood's book and its three-part framework for masculine leadership [24:07] The first principle: respond, don't react [24:26] The second principle: lead with structure instead of asking open-ended questions [25:54] The third principle: always provide safety through calm, grounded tonality [26:20] Wrapping up and reflecting on how these ideas apply directly to Eric's friend [27:33] Reminders: Roommates to Soulmates starting September 16th, and the Business Boardroom Brotherhood preview   Five Key Takeaways Surface-level arguments, about a job, about chores, are rarely the real issue. Almost always, there's an unmet need underneath that both partners are struggling to name directly. A woman's core needs tend to center on feeling seen, heard, and safe. A man's core needs tend to center on respect, appreciation, and physical affection. When either side stops meeting those needs, both partners start reacting instead of connecting. Not all acts of service are created equal. The emotional bank account concept means some gestures barely register while others, often smaller and more specific, become huge needle-movers. Ask your spouse directly what actually makes them feel loved. "Nice guy syndrome" and people-pleasing are deeply unattractive traits, not because kindness is bad, but because doing things with a hidden expectation attached (do this, then maybe she'll be nice to me) isn't genuine generosity. A grounded, masculine approach to leadership in a relationship comes down to three things: responding instead of reacting, leading with structure instead of vague open-ended questions, and consistently providing emotional safety through your tone and presence.   Links & Resources The Masculine in Relationship: A Blueprint for Inspiring the Trust, Lust, and Devotion of a Strong Woman by G.S. Youngblood: https://www.amazon.com/Masculine-Relationship-Inspiring-Devotion-Woman/dp/1699443386 The Dad Edge Day at State Farm Stadium: https://thedadedge.com/nfl The Dad Edge Podcast: https://thedadedge.com/1528 The Dad Edge Boardroom Mastermind: https://thedadedge.com/guest   Closing If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this: stop guessing at what your spouse needs and just ask. Eric's friend, like so many of us at some point, has been doing things with the hope that they'll move the needle, without ever finding out what actually would. Go ask your wife directly what she was doing, and what you were doing, the last time she felt most loved and connected to you, and then go do more of that. Go out and live legendary.
