  In the United States, there are more than 3 million women widowed! But, of that number, only 12% are under the age of 50. Let that sink in for a minute. That means that 360,000 women in the U.S. are widowed before they ever hit 50 years old. You know what else it means? It means 3 million of us loved and loved fearlessly! When your partner dies, you ache- you ache because you loved them. It means you are human. It might sound like a depressing number, but the reality is, there are more of us out there than we know. We are not alone. Our guest today, Erica Jane Cheatham-Ormeno, knows this all to well. But the way she has  approached grieving, and how she is handling being single is a viewpoint I think we can all learn from.   Listen now.   Episode Sponsors: GammaTile (gammatile.com) Imvax (Imvax.com) Plus Therapeutics

Does your life feel out of control? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, angry, and resentful, and no matter how hard you try to be nice, or kind, or considerate, you only end up feeling worse? Dear One, that is no accident, as you will learn in this incredible breakthrough episode podcast.  Before Lisa A. Romano was diagnosed with codependency, she lived her life prioritizing others' needs, unaware that her lack of self-awareness, her inability to put herself first, or even to have her needs recognized, was rooted in trauma and missing information. Once Lisa was diagnosed with codependency and learned from an intuitive therapist that she was the adult child of unrecovered adult children of alcoholics, and possibly even dry alcoholics, the wheels in her mind started to turn. From there, Lisa hit the books and the ground running, consuming every book and mentor she could to help her unwind her mind from self-loathing, hypervigilance, negative self-talk, insecurity, and deep feelings of shame and inadequacy. By adding new data into her data bank of self-understanding, through a ferocious and tenacious will, slowly Lisa's entire inner self-perception began to shift, and like a Rubik's cube, her life started reorganizing itself.  Lisa A. Romano is the first to tell you that healing is ugly, terrifying, and lonesome, and she will also ask that you accept the quest despite this, because it is the only way to break through the thick matrix caused by generational trauma. If you are the adult child of an alcoholic, or if you were raised by toxic, narcissistic, wounded, immature, or codependent parents, or if you grew up in what seemed like a normal family but felt emotionally neglected, this podcast episode will resonate with you.  This episode is a must-listen if you: Grew up with a parent who struggle with alcoholic parents. You are the grandchild of an alcoholic. You feel stuck, angry and like your life is out of control. Ache to understand yourself, and how your subconsicous mind controls your emotions, reactions, thinking, and your expectation all outside of conscious awareness.  ✨ Pro tip: Understanding how your childhood has impacted how you 'think' today, how you 'react', and what you expect to occur in your life is you activating metacognition. Childhood trauma resides at the subconscious. Lisa's methods help you breakthrough! Begin Your Healing Journey: Lisa introduces her signature 12 Week Breakthrough Method—a trauma-informed, psychologist approaved, neuroscience-based coaching program designed for adult children of narcissistic, neglectful, or emotionally immature parents. Inside the program, you'll discover: Brain retraining techniques rooted in neuroscience. Inner child healing and self-concept reorganization. Journaling prompts and assessments to increase self-awareness. Tools to stop subconscious self-abandonment and live authentically. How to integrate shadow work and break toxic generational patterns. Thousands have transformed their lives with this method—learning to step out of survival mode and into authentic, empowered living.

When time has its effect on food, it begins to ferment. And the fermenting in the stomach can create an ache within. The scroll that John is given to eat is sweet. But the promises that are sweet can take time to be fulfilled. More time than we want. And this waiting can create an ache within. We are pained with the desire for fulfillment of the sweet promise of God. We are sick with desire for an end to evil, pain, war, abuse, injustice, and all that's wrong with this broken world. We are aching for deliverance. Like a mother who's delivering a child, the excruciating pain will give way to something new and beautiful. The sweet taste in our mouth is a reminder of the sweet promise of life. But there will be a long ache before it breaks forth into completion. This is not the last time we see God giving food to his servants. There is a feast in store. Revelation 19:7 tells us, Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb. Waiting will be over and we will ache no more. The sweetness of God's promise will prove to be true. We will see with clarity like never before that his life is a sweet gift. And we will be honored to come and sit at his table. See the sweet promises of God. Taste and see that they are good even though the ache for our deliverance comes. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will take and eat, that I will wait with expectant and joyful hope for that day to come. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

The AcheThere can be an ache that doesn't seem to go away and in this week's episode of driving with Jev series she addresses this. God can meet you in this place. God has a promise that he is close to those who feel crushed or shattered. What would it look like to stop avoiding the ache and let God meet you there? Once again, Let this episode minister to your heart. Grab a copy of Jevanna's In the Waiting Devotional on Amazon:https://a.co/d/3gahbyA

In this sermon pastor Joel considers the tragic death of Absalom at the hands of Joab, reminding us that we need to be careful how we treat the Son of David. Though we are all like Absalom, in our rebellion against God, the good news is that God has not send us a Joab but Jesus.

Content Note: This episode contains conversations about the loss of a child. It may be triggering for some listeners.In this episode three mothers Clotea, Kendra and myself open up about the unimaginable: losing our children. Together we share what grief has looked like and what it has felt like- the tears that come at times without warning, the moments of laughter that keeps us alive, and the quiet spaces in between. We are hoping our stories help others feel less alone and for others to understand.

If the waiting feels heavy right now, you're not the only one. I know what it's like to carry a longing that hasn't been met yet — to wonder how to keep living fully when the ache is still here.In this mini episode, I'm sharing a practice that's helped me again and again: making room for beauty in the waiting. Because beauty has a way of reviving our hearts when we least expect it. Not as a way to distract yourself, but as a way to breathe, open your heart, and let God meet you here.I'll talk about why beauty can draw you outside of yourself, soften the ache, and even make you more receptive to the gifts He's giving right now. My hope is that you'll leave with encouragement, fresh perspective, and a renewed permission to move slower, look up, and allow beauty to revive you in your waiting.P.S.

What do you do when your joints hurt? Do you think this is only temporary because I did too much of something? What can you do when joints hurt, or at least ache? Are you thinking or told about knee replacement? If this is you, this is your episode!   My Guest:  Dr. Joshua Schacter, DO, FAAOS, America's Holistic Orthopedic Surgeon, is redefining joint care with a commitment to providing actual solutions for his patients. Spending a decade as the Chief of Orthopedic Surgery and Director of the Advanced Orthopedic Center of Excellence, he saw the need for non-invasive, innovative solutions that address the root causes of pain and dysfunction rather than masking symptoms. When his wife was diagnosed with the “breast cancer gene”, the Schacter's became obsessed with wellness, health and how to accomplish true healing. Dr. Schacter dreamed of a more effective and patient-centered approach, the Pinnacle Method.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:25] How did your personal experience cause you to shift your focus from traditional orthopedic care to a more holistic and integrative approach?  [00:21:18] What is orthobiologics?  [00:20:20] How does The Pinnacle Method address not just the symptoms but the root causes of joint pain? How does the Pinnacle Method help patients achieve long-term wellness? [00:21:30] How do the treatments you offer support the natural healing process? [00:37:00] Can you define PRP? The efficacy and timeline, cost and success rate?  [00:37:35] What do you find to be true today on surgery and non-surgical treatments? What evidence or success stories would you share to illustrate the effectiveness of the Pinnacle Method? [00:39:30] Your approach is optimizing overall health and longevity. How do you incorporate wellness and prevention into your care for patients?   Know What You Can Do When Joints Hurt   What is orthobiologics? Use of the body's own healing capacity. Includes PRP (platelet-rich plasma), stem cells from fat or bone marrow, cord blood.   What is PRP? Platelet-rich plasma: Draw blood → concentrate platelets → inject into affected joint Cost: $2,000–$6,000 per dose   What is The Pinnacle Method? Combines PRP, functional medicine, and BHRT Addresses the whole patient, not just symptoms   Key Takeaways Orthobiologics like PRP and stem cells are effective alternatives to surgery, especially when used early. Steroid injections can accelerate joint degeneration and should be used cautiously. The Pinnacle Method is a patient-centered approach combining regenerative orthopedics, functional medicine, and hormone therapy. Menopause-related hormonal changes significantly affect joint health, making hormone balance crucial.

Ephesians 1:3–14 with Joshua LewisIn a world full of rejection and fractured relationships, we long to be chosen, known, and loved. In this sweeping passage, Paul erupts into praise over the breathtaking truth that, in Christ, we are chosen, predestined, and included in God's family. This is more than theology—it's the answer to our deepest ache: the desire to belong.

Hello Ladies and Gents!In this episode of Bedtime Rendezvous, we explore what it means to hold back, to ache on command,to tremble under her rhythm,to crave the nut she refuses to let go.This isn't just denial.It's art.It's control.It's The Ache You Begged For.Press play.But don't expect to finish.Written by:Mistress KarmelSong Rendezvous: Lace “The Hands”

Short term weight loss sounds great BUT it's not all fat – it's muscle! Muscle will be much harder to regain as we age because of anabolic resistance..  Clothes might feel loose and you get weight loss compliments. But short term weight loss is just giving a “false positive” honeymoon period. This might mean you divorced muscle, the love of your life.   1. Muscle Mass Loss (Sarcopenia) Protein Deficiency Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle tissue. Insufficient protein intake exacerbates muscle atrophy and increases the risk of falls and injuries. Excessive Cardio Prolonged cardio can lead to a breakdown of muscle tissue for energy, particularly if glycogen stores are depleted. This can worsen age-related muscle loss and counteract maintaining strength and function. 2. Bone Health (Osteoporosis) Protein Deficiency Protein is needed for bone health and bone density. Inadequate protein intake, especially after menopause, increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Osteoporosis Risks After menopause, risk of osteoporosis increases due to declining estrogen levels and can weaken bones prone to fracture. Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis Link Having both increases the risk of falls and fractures. Poor nutrition leads to sarcopenic obesity and increases the risk of osteoporosis. 3. Other Negative Effects Reduced Physical Function Since inadequate protein leads to muscle loss, this reduces strength, impaired balance, and decreased ability to perform daily activities. Slow-Healing Injuries Protein repairs tissues. Deficiency can slow wound healing and recovery from injuries. Weakened Immune Function Amino acids from protein build antibodies and maintain a healthy immune system. Low protein intake can lead to frequent illnesses and infections. Potential Cardiac Issues (Excessive Cardio) Associated with potential adverse cardiac effects, such as myocardial fibrosis and an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, in some individuals. Musculoskeletal Injuries (Excessive Cardio) Increases the risk of musculoskeletal issues like osteoarthritis and stress fractures.   What Can You Do Instead of A Short Term Weight Loss Recommendations: Prioritize protein intake with 30 grams each meal. Balance cardio and strength training to build and maintain muscle mass. Listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard or engaging in prolonged, strenuous exercise if it causes excessive fatigue or pain.   References:  Chucherd O, Vallibhakara O, Vallibhakara SA, Sophonsritsuk A, Chattrakulchai K, Anantaburarana M.

Refining the Frequency of Freedom – July 4, 2025Today's episode is not a celebration in the traditional sense—it's a reclamation.On a day often filled with noise, expectations, and performative displays of “freedom,” this is an offering for those who feel the ache of invisibility, the tension of dissonance, or the tenderness of being in a different rhythm.In this soul-led episode, I share what the messages my body has been sharing the last couple of days and what came through the field this morning:A message from my Guides that July 4th, 2025 is not a day of outer allegiance—but a moment of inner return.A day not to perform—but to attune.A day not to belong through invitation—but to remember that belonging is encoded in your Soul.If you are feeling:Heavy or nauseous in your bodyTender in your heartAlone or uninvitedOff rhythm with the world around youThis episode is a Light transmission for your Soulstream.You are not behind.You are not broken.You are being remembered by the Light you serve.✨ July 4th Light Transmission – Through the Oversoul stream of Sa'hariel"This is not a day of nationalism. It is a frequency checkpoint.""Let the illusions of freedom collapse. Let the internal allegiance to Light Truth rise.""You are not missing the party. You are the frequency shift the world doesn't yet know how to celebrate."

The Ache & The Answer ReCreate Church | Pastor Michael Shockley ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY Ever feel that unexplainable weight in your chest? That sense that something is missing even when life looks good on paper? In this powerful message, Pastor Michael explores the story of Benjamin, a man who had achieved everything yet still felt empty inside. Through the lens of Ephesians 2:8-9, you'll discover that the ache we all carry isn't just stress or circumstances - it's a soul separated from its source. Learn why grace, not performance, is the answer to life's deepest longing. Core Message: The ache is real. The answer is grace ... through faith in Jesus. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Universal Ache - The unexplainable weight we carry in our chest - Why success and achievements don't fill the void - The difference between surface-level stress and soul-deep emptiness Benjamin's Story: A Picture of the Human Condition - Working with his hands to quiet the noise inside - The weight of generational expectations and disappointment - How accomplishments become temporary fixes for permanent problems The Spiritual Diagnosis - Why the ache isn't just depression, anger, or burnout - Understanding sin as separation from God, not just rule-breaking - The soul crying out for its Maker Grace Through Faith (Ephesians 2:8-9) - Grace as God reaching toward us, not us reaching toward Him - Faith as surrender, not performance - Salvation as gift, not achievement The Futility of Self-Salvation - Why we can't hammer our way into peace - The temporary nature of worldly solutions - Understanding that we can't be our own heart surgeon The True Source of Modern Anxiety - Why successive generations experience more anxiety - The spiritual disconnection behind emotional exhaustion - Living without water and wondering why we're drying up ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "The ache is real. The answer is grace ... through faith in Jesus." "You can't hammer your way into peace. You can't do enough to fix the ache. You can't be your own heart surgeon." "Grace meets you with blood still on your hands and says, 'I love you anyway. Come home.'" "Faith is not convincing God you're good enough; it's being convinced Jesus Is Enough." "Sin isn't just breaking the rules. It's breaking the relationship with The One Who Made you." "Salvation isn't a prize for the worthy. It's a gift for the willing." "You don't need better answers. You need The Answer." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Ephesians 2:8-9 - Key Theme: Salvation by grace through faith - Context: Paul's letter explaining the spiritual transformation available in Christ - Central Truth: Peace comes through receiving God's gift, not earning it ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're Struggling with That Unexplainable Ache: - Recognize it may be spiritual disconnection, not just stress - Stop trying to work, buy, or achieve your way to peace - Consider that your soul is crying out for its Maker If You've Been Performing to Prove Your Worth: - Understand that grace meets you where you are - Faith is surrender, not trying harder - Your value comes from God's love, not your achievements If You're Carrying Guilt and Shame: - Remember that Jesus came to rescue, not shame - Grace isn't earned - it's received as a gift - The work has already been finished by Christ If You've Never Truly Trusted Jesus: - Today can be the day you receive the gift of grace - It's not about being good enough - it's about accepting you're loved - Lay down the hammer of self-effort and pick up The Word ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION Stop trying to fix what only Jesus can heal. The ache in your soul isn't a problem to solve through better performance - it's a longing that only your Creator can fill. Jesus offers the gift of grace. Receive it and live in the freedom it brings. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app ---------- Remember: Salvation isn't a competition or achievement. It is received as a gift, or not at all. What will you do with the grace that's being offered to you today?

Join Cami to talk about the ways we fill our lives with noise — scrolling, staying busy, staying “on” — and how that keeps us from facing the ache God actually wants to meet.   https://linktr.ee/camireneejones

The Ache Beneath the Noise Summary: We live in a loud world—and we carry that noise inside of us. In this episode, we talk about how distraction becomes a coping mechanism and how stillness can feel threatening when we're used to numbing. But God's invitation is always the same: Be still and know. Key Points: How cultural noise shapes our view of ourselves and God The ways we numb instead of heal (scrolling, bingeing, shopping) A moment of quiet that exposed a deeper ache Psalm 46:10 as an invitation, not a command A prayer to face what's under the noise with God's help Stay Connected: Instagram Facebook Email

"You feel it. A longing. A restlessness. A hunger for something more. What if that ache isn't random? What if it's an invitation?"Welcome to The Ache, a podcast that explores the deep longings of the soul and how prayer draws us into the heart of God. In Week 6: A Heart After God, we reflect on what it truly means to trust God—even when we don't understand.Through the story of David in 2 Samuel 12, we see a man who prayed with all his heart for a miracle. But when the answer was not what he hoped for, David's response was unexpected—he worshiped. A heart after God's own heart isn't defined by getting everything right, but by trusting in the goodness of God through every circumstance.This week, respond by spending time in Psalm 23, letting it shape your heart's posture in prayer and anchor you in God's presence.Subscribe now to discover how answering The Ache means learning to trust even in the unknown.Are you willing to trust God with what you can't understand?

La Mesa Especial de Análisis Político con Antonio Cardarello, Daniel Chasquetti, Mariana Pomiés y Camila Zeballos. *** Desde la asunción del presidente Yamandú Orsi, el 1 de marzo pasado, el vínculo entre el gobierno del Frente Amplio y la oposición ha estado marcado por tensiones y rispideces. A pesar de las intenciones iniciales de establecer un diálogo constructivo, las diferencias ideológicas y las estrategias políticas han dificultado una relación fluida entre ambas partes. Un ejemplo fue la controversia en torno a la situación financiera de Ancap, donde la oposición cuestionó el anuncio del gobierno, interpretándolo como un indicio de un ajuste fiscal encubierto. Una vez más, se dio una discusión en la que se enfrentaron dos relatos. Además, la compra de un campo de 4.404 hectáreas en Florida por el Instituto Nacional de Colonización (INC) desató una nueva controversia. Fue el propio presidente Yamandú Orsi que defendió esa decisión y respondió a las críticas de blancos y colorados. “Honestamente la oposición, o quienes siempre estuvieron en contra de Colonización, van a buscar toda la vuelta para que esto caiga. Esta discusión es larga, es larguísima. Esto surge a partir de una compra… demasiada casualidad. Lo que quiero decir que está instalada la discusión, como hace 75 años, en la defensa por un lado y el combate a Colonización” Otro tema, más reciente, fue la decisión del Poder Ejecutivo de designar como embajadoras a Beatriz Argimón y Carolina Ache, la primera ante la Unesco y Ache en Portugal. Esto generó críticas de dirigentes del Partido Nacional y Colorado, no solo al gobierno, sino a las dirigentes seleccionadas. Ya parece haber quedado muy lejos el ambiente en que se dieron las negociaciones por los cargos que la oposición tendría a su disposición en directorios de organismos estatales, que culminaron con éxito en el mes de abril. ¿Podrán calmarse las aguas? ¿La discusión presupuestal tendrá esta tónica?

La Tertulia de los Jueves con Cecilia Eguiluz, Gabriel Mazzarovich, Ana Laura Pérez y Daniel Supervielle. El ministro de Relaciones Exteriores, Mario Lubetkin, y la subsecretaria, Valeria Csukasi, anunciarán hoy los nombres de una serie de embajadores a designar en los correspondientes destinos diplomáticos. Según trascendió ayer, en la lista figuran Carolina Ache, ex número dos de la Cancillería en el gobierno pasado, y la exvicepresidenta Beatriz Argimón. A Ache el Poder Ejecutivo la propone como representante diplomática de Uruguay en Portugal, según informó el semanario Búsqueda y confirmó En Perspectiva. Por su parte, el cargo previsto para Argimón es embajadora ante la UNESCO, con sede en París, según consignó La Diaria. La noticia generó sorpresa en dirigentes de varios partidos políticos. Según las consultas realizadas por En Perspectiva, legisladores del Partido Nacional, Partido Colorado y hasta del Frente Amplio desconocían esta decisión del gobierno. A través de sus redes sociales, el diputado colorado Gabriel Gurméndez afirmó que “la supuesta designación de Ache como embajadora ha tenido la capacidad de enojar a militantes de todos los partidos, en estos Díaz”. Y escribió esta última palabra en mayúscula, aludiendo – sin mencionarlo- la prosecrtario de la Presidencia, Jorge Díaz, quien fue el abogado de Ache. Gurméndez agregó: “frenteamplistas engañados. Todos los demás, atónitos”. Ache renunció a su cargo en diciembre del 2022 durante la crisis política que se precipitó a raíz de la expedición de un pasaporte al narcotraficante Sebastián Marset. Un año más tarde, la exjerarca denunció en Fiscalía que la cúpula del Poder Ejecutivo, liderada por Luis Lacalle Pou, la presionó para que ocultara información sobre ese tema que debía entregarse a la Justicia. ¿Cómo pueden interpretan estas propuestas de designación? ¿Se trata de una jugada política del gobierno?

"You feel it. A longing. A restlessness. A hunger for something more. What if that ache isn't random? What if it's an invitation?"Welcome to The Ache, a podcast exploring the deep longings within us and how prayer meets us in those sacred places. In Week 5: The Ache for Grace, we explore one of the most difficult, yet transformative, truths: prayer isn't about getting what we want—it's about becoming who God is shaping us to be.We look at Paul's plea for relief from his “thorn,” and how God's answer was not escape, but grace. We remember Jesus in Gethsemane, asking for another way, yet surrendering fully to the Father's will. And we reflect on the Dark Night of the Soul—those seasons when God feels distant, but is still present and working in unseen ways.This week, respond by praying honestly about your struggles, but end with the words: "Not my will, but Yours be done."Subscribe now to explore how answering The Ache with surrender leads to grace, growth, and a deeper encounter with God.Are you willing to trust Him, even when the answer is silence?

When Tara Hall discovered her great-uncle Norman had been shot down in WWII, his story became an enigma that haunted her family for generations. In this poignant episode, my Ancestry colleague Tara shares how Norman joined the Army Air Corps as a navigator, following in his older brother's footsteps. Shot down over Germany on just his third mission, Norman's body remained unidentified for twelve years, leaving his family in painful limbo. Through military records and precious letters, Tara uncovered not just how Norman died, but glimpses of who he truly was—a young man who secretly read poetry and promised his father, "Don't worry about me, Dad." As we approach Memorial Day, this story reminds us of the profound ripple effects war creates across generations, and how family history transforms enigmas into cherished ancestors whose memories provide strength and resilience.〰️

Amy Baik Lee has written that in every place her life has taken her, "there have been hints of beauty and great knocks of mercy that have called to me from beyond my surroundings, always speaking of a King and Friend and Father whose presence is truly Home.” That sense of longing, those clues that perhaps we were made for a different world, make their way out in every thing Amy writes, and especially in her book, This Homeward Ache: How Our Yearning for the Life to Come Spurs on Our Life Today. In this episode, a replay from 2023, Amy and Jonathan Rogers talk about homeward longing, the idea of Sehnsucht, and the importance of writing in community.Support the show: https://therabbitroom.givingfuel.com/memberSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There’s an ache at the center of being human. The kind that doesn’t go away with a fresh to-do list or a good night’s sleep. It’s the longing for more. The grief of what wasn’t. The quiet ache of ordinary life—school pickups, grocery runs, scan results, and the slow accumulation of things we didn’t choose. In this tender and deeply wise conversation, Kate Bowler speaks with Father Ron Rolheiser—beloved Roman Catholic priest, theologian, and bestselling author—about the ache that lives in all of us... and why it might be the most holy part of who we are. This episode is for anyone who feels a little restless, a little disappointed, or just plain tired—and is looking for a spirituality big enough to hold the beautiful, unfinished life they’re living. In this conversation, Kate and Ron discuss: Why we all have an ache inside of us (and why that’s okay) The convalescence you may need from church communities that have hurt you How living in six-month intervals can teach us what really matters If you liked this episode, you’ll also love: Nadia Bolz-Weber, “The Insight of Outsiders” Richard Rohr, “Learning to Hold On, Learning to Let Go” Watch clips from this conversation, read the full transcript, and access discussion questions by clicking here or visiting katebowler.com/podcasts.

When my son was diagnosed with autism at age two—and later with Fragile X syndrome—I entered a kind of grief I wasn't prepared for. It wasn't loud or dramatic. It was quiet, slow, and deeply sacred. It was the grief of letting go of the life I imagined and learning to embrace the one God was writing.In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the pain, surrender, and beauty that come with raising a child with special needs while clinging to faith in Jesus. I talk about the silent ache of broken expectations, the sacredness of honest lament, and the unexpected closeness of God in the middle of it all.Grief doesn't always come from death—it often comes from the loss of an idea, a dream, or a version of life we thought we'd have. But even there, God is present. Even in our most unspoken sorrows, He is faithful. And even when healing doesn't look the way we hoped, He still gets the glory.If you've ever carried a grief you didn't choose, or wrestled with faith in the face of life's hardest questions, this episode is for you. May it remind you that you're not alone—and that hope still lives here, too.Listen now on all audio platforms.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Story at-a-glance Our ancestors consumed large quantities of bread (up to 16 pounds weekly for men and 8 pounds for women in the 1880s) without widespread digestive issues seen today. Pre-harvest desiccation with glyphosate (increased 400% in two decades) leaves residues in wheat products that may disrupt gut microbiome and contribute to digestive disorders Modern wheat varieties have been selectively bred for higher yields and industrial processing compatibility rather than nutritional value or digestibility. The shift from slow fermentation methods to quick-rise commercial yeast has also eliminated the microbial diversity and protein breakdown that made traditional bread nutritious and easier to digest "Enriched flour" contains synthetic nutrients and iron shards (ferrous sulfate) that can contribute to oxidative stress and may not provide the intended health benefits Traditional sourdough fermentation breaks down gluten proteins (particularly gliadin) by more than 50% over 24 hours, making bread more digestible for many people with sensitivities Most commercial bread contains hidden additives like inflammatory seed oils and harmful chemicals like potassium bromate (banned in many countries but not the U.S.)
