What does it mean to be deeply seen by another human being? In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, Anna welcomes Guy Sengstock, creator of The Circling® Institute, for a profound conversation about presence, relationship, wonder, and the human longing to be truly met. Together, Anna and Guy explore what happens when we slow down enough to receive another person as they are. They speak about the ache of being seen, the mystery of real conversation, the way relationships shape who we become, and why the capacity for wonder may be one of the most important antidotes to disconnection. Guy also shares the deeper intention behind Circling® — not simply as a method, but as a relational practice that helps people listen, notice, and become more present with themselves and one another.

Most men over 40 think their aching knees, shoulders, and low backs are just the price of getting older. They're not.  In this episode, Ted makes the case that fat loss might be the most underrated joint treatment there is — and not just for the obvious mechanical reason.   Yes, every pound of extra weight pounds your knees with roughly four more pounds of force per step. But the part almost no one talks about is what body fat does chemically: it drives the low-grade inflammation that breaks tissue down and stalls healing — even in joints that bear no weight at all, like your hands.   Ted walks through the science joint by joint, why it's central to his R3 Method, and why leaning out is often the fastest way to get your body to stop hurting.  You'll Learn  Why each pound lost can reduce the load on the knees by roughly four pounds per step  How excess body fat can affect joints through both mechanical stress and systemic inflammation  Why the shoulders, hands, and other non-weight-bearing joints may still be affected by excess body fat  How protein intake, daily movement, metabolic health, and pain monitoring can support joint recovery    Chapters:   (00:00) Fat Loss Saves Joints  (00:33) The Knee Force Stat  (02:12) Why Pain Feels Normal  (04:31) Mechanical Joint Load  (06:43) Inflammation Hits Hands  (07:25) Fat as Endocrine Organ  (08:29) Metabolic Health Heals  (10:39) R3 Method Overview  (13:12) Client Wins Motivation  (17:00) Actionable Takeaways  (18:42) Wrap Up And Next Steps    Links Mentioned:  Legendarylifepodcast.com/knee   Connect with Ted on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn

I don't know if you're like me but I suspect you might be — looking on in abject horror as the entire internet persists in curb-stomping an individual who had the temerity to declare themselves, “the most relevant and impactful music critic of my — and any — generation”.  Yeah, I know, more impactful than Gary Bushell?  More relevant than Luke Winkie?  Not bloody likely, however what sort of world are we living in where self-styled pundits aren't allowed to take great pride in their work?  Were I to publicly insist that this program was the most relevant and impactful online radio show-of-all-time, would I be met with a similar level of ridicule?  Probably not, as I'd only be stating the obvious, but I would like everyone involved to cool down for a moment or two and recognize that you cannot spell “gauche” without ACHE.  Not correctly, anyway.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, tens of millions of retirees and other Americans could see smaller monthly Social Security checks in six years if lawmakers don't act to shore up the program's finances. Social Security's retirement trust fund — which helps support payments to senior citizens, their dependents and survivors of deceased workers — is expected to be exhausted in late 2032. Also President Trump defended U.S. strikes against Iran Tuesday, calling the response “very strong” and “very powerful” after Tehran reportedly shot down a U.S. Army Apache helicopter.

Loss is common to all of us and yet unique. Pain accompanies our losses, and grief accompanies our pain. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Bill Schmidgall and Kathy Knochel speak to this common yet unique experience of grieving and the hope for healing.    Show notes:  Grief marks the pain of loss, which by God's grace, is holy ground for God's shaping in our lives.  Grieving: the reaction to the pain of losing someone or something dear.  Losses: people, possessions, hopes, aspirations that were real at one time and now are not.   Despair: the unsettling hopeless feeling of realizing what once was, will not ever be again.  Hope: finding a settled peace where the loss has its proper present effect on your new normal.

Dans le «procès d'une vie», Barbara Lamballais et Karina Testa reviennent sur le combat de Gisèle Halimi lors du procès de Bobigny en 1972... Le spectacle vient d'être récompensé à trois reprises, lors de la dernière cérémonie des Molières.  Automne 1972 : au cours d'un procès retentissant, l'avocate Gisèle Halimi obtient la relaxe pour Marie-Claire Chevallier accusée d'avoir avorté, ce qui en ces années-là était interdit par la loi, mais aussi pour sa mère et la femme qui avait pratiqué de manière clandestine cette interruption de grossesse. Ce fut un tournant pour l'histoire des femmes et l'histoire du droit. C'est à partir de cet évènement que Barbara Lamballais et Karina Testa ont écrit Le procès d'une vie.  Un texte écrit à quatre mains dont l'écriture a été initiée en 2018 alors que Gisèle Halimi était encore en vie. Un spectacle très documenté sur les faits : elles ont fait appel à des professionnels de la justice pour bien comprendre tous les tenants et aboutissants de l'affaire.  En août 1971 : Marie-Claire Chevalier, jeune est âgée de 16 ans. Jeune fille isssue d'un milieu populaire, elle est violée par un élève de son lycée âgé de 18 ans. Elle se retrouve alors enceinte et elle demande à sa mère de l'aider à avorter : l'avortement est alors illégal et passible de cinq ans de prison.  De son côté, son violeur est arêté pour une affaire de vol de voiture ; il dénonce Marie‑Claire Chevalier pour avortement clandestin, espérant ainsi obtenir un traitement plus favorable de la justice. Elle est alors poursuivie ainsi que sa mère et les femmes qui l'ont aidée. L'avocate Gisèle Halimi décide de faire de ce procès un acte politique en dénonçant publiquement l'injustice de la loi anti-avortement et en montrant que ce sont surtout les femmes les plus modestes qui en souffrent. Ce procès devient un événement médiatique majeur et suscite un large mouvement de soutien : intellectuels, médecins, militants et une partie de l'opinion se mobilisent. Marie‑Claire est finalement relaxée, et les autres prévenues reçoivent des peines symboliques. L'affaire de Bobigny joue un rôle décisif dans l'évolution des mentalités et prépare le terrain à la loi Veil de 1975, qui dépénalise l'IVG en France. Le spectacle raconte donc un procès, mais aussi un pan de l'histoire de la société française....  Invitées : Barbara Lamballais, autrice et metteuse en scène de la pièce Le procès d'une vie Karina Testa, autrice et comédienne de Le procès d'une vie.    À voir au Théâtre du Splendid jusqu'en janvier 2027. Et cet été, à Avignon au Théâtre des Gémeaux du 4 au 25 juillet 2026.  Programmation musicale : L'artiste La Ciguë avec le titre la Ache des chiens.

Today's Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:1–7 Have you ever felt overlooked— not chosen, not noticed, not even considered? In today's episode, we look at the story of Samuel anointing David and what it reveals about how easily we evaluate ourselves and others by what is visible. We explore: *How the halo effect shapes who gets noticed, chosen, or valued *Why external validation is a shaky foundation for your identity *How to stop measuring your worth by systems that were never designed to see you clearly *What David's story reveals about hidden faithfulness, quiet seasons, and the God who sees what others miss Go Deeper: Dr. Alison shares her journey through feeling unseen in The Secure Soul.

There is an ache in your heart that no one names… you are doing everything right, but manifestation is not working for you. You are doing the journaling, the meditations, the visualizations… all the things you should be doing, but nothing shifts. It can make you feel embarrassed or like something is wrong with you… or even worse, it can convince you that you need to do even more! Hear me when I say IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT, and you DON'T need to do MORE. In this episode, I break down the real reason "it's not working" and the one thing you need to do to get things to fall into place! If you have believed that doing more is the answer, this episode is for you!

Não pare no meio do processo.Assista ao vídeo e descubra o segredo para perseverar até o fim.Se este vídeo lhe ajudou, compartilhe para ajudar mais pessoas.

Do you ever feel a quiet ache when you think about the life you imagined for yourself… and where you are now?In this episode of Sarah's Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores the emotional gap between expectation and reality, the space between who we thought we would become and who we actually are. She gently unpacks the pressure of timelines we never consciously chose, and the weight of comparing ourselves to a version of life that may have never truly belonged to us.This episode is a compassionate reflection on growth, change, and the courage it takes to become someone different to who you once imagined.You'll learn:Why the “timeline” you're measuring yourself against may not be your ownHow to reframe the feeling of being behind into something more truthfulWhy change and uncertainty are signs of growth, not failureThis is a powerful reminder that you are not behind, not too late, and not less than the person you once hoped to be.Because that ache you feel isn't failure… it's longing. And longing means you still believe in something better.Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah's newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynberg Website: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg Hosted on Acast.

If that's you, Dr. Terri has a message: your labs aren't lying, but the reference ranges might be.

The Ache That Won't Go Away(Inspired by Larry Crabb's insight on the soul's deep longings)The Ache That Won't Go Away #RTTBROS #Nightlight"My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death." — Matthew 26:38You know, one of the most honest things I've ever heard a Christian counselor say stopped me right in my tracks. Larry Crabb, one of the contributors to the Soul Care Bible, wrote that "beneath the surface of everyone's life, especially the more mature, is an ache that will not go away." He said an aching soul is not evidence of neurosis or spiritual immaturity. It's evidence of realism.I've sat with a lot of people over the years, in hospital rooms, living rooms, and church pews, and I can tell you that is one of the truest things I've ever read. So many people carry a quiet ache inside them and then feel guilty about it, like something is spiritually wrong with them because they can't just "praise it away."Here's what I want you to hear tonight: even Jesus, in the garden of Gethsemane, said, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death." The Son of God sat with His disciples and let them see His anguish. He didn't perform spiritual cheerfulness for anyone. He was honest about the weight He was carrying.What Larry Crabb helped a generation of Christians understand is that the deep ache we feel in our souls is actually a longing for God and for the wholeness He alone can give. It's not a sign of broken faith. It's often a sign of a soul that knows this world is not what it was meant to be, and that Something, Someone, better is yet to come.I'm too soon old and too late smart, but one thing I've learned is that when you try to pretend the ache isn't there, it just goes underground and comes out sideways. But when you bring it honestly to God, something begins to shift. He can work with honest pain. He's less able to work with a performance.The Psalms are full of this. David didn't write greeting card theology. He wrote things like "How long, O LORD? wilt thou forget me for ever?" (Psalm 13:1). And then, in the very same psalm, he lands on trust. That journey, from honest ache to renewed trust, is not a failure of faith. It's the walk of faith.If you're carrying an ache tonight that just won't let you go, you are in good company. Bring it to the One who knows what it is to say, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful."Let's pray: Father, we come to You with our honest aches tonight, not our polished performances. You already know what's underneath the surface. Meet us there, in that deep place, with Your presence and Your peace.

Description:If you've ever whispered, Is this it?—if you've been doing “all the right things” and still feel that unfinished ache humming under your skin—go ahead and hit download. Jen is joined by her beloved friend (and actual genius) Kate Bowler to talk about her new book, Joyful Anyway—a bracing, funny, tender rebellion against the optimization industrial complex. This is not a “choose joy” pep talk where somebody sprints past you tossing a Live Laugh Love pillow at your face. Kate is here for the after: after the before-and-after story didn't pan out, after grief and guilt and longing set up permanent residence, after you realized happiness is fragile and reality keeps kicking in. Together, Jen, Amy, and Kate name what so many of us can't quite articulate: the ache—that “achy, stabby want” at the center of our lived experience. They talk about why we need permission just to be human, why “performing resilience” is exhausting, and how telling the truth can loosen the grip of the story that's been swallowing the rest of our life. Kate also shares an unforgettable story about a snake bite, an ER, and a moment of unexpected mercy that cracked something open—proof that joy doesn't always come through the front door. Sometimes it slips in sideways, like grace. Like a sudden, full-bodied yes—even when nothing is resolved. You'll also hear about: The difference between happiness (fragile and expensive) and joy (sneaky, un-schedulable, and—somehow—free) How joy finds us through embodied moments—beauty, absurdity, paying attention The Burn Book / Resentment List and why making a “this scarred me, this counted” list might be the most faithful thing you do all week (including Kate's deeply personal grievance about her tragically unaesthetic family gravesite) Roadside Joy Detours: Kate's practice of putting herself “in the way of joy” with absurd road trips to local oddities And Kate's reminder: you are a song—don't die with it still inside you Bottom line: if you're quietly undone, if your body feels weary, if the headlines have you spiraling—Kate is here with permission, language, and a weird little flashlight. The ache stays. But joy still shows up. Sometimes as grace. Sometimes as absurdity. Sometimes as a roadside attraction you drove two hours to see for no reason—except you're alive, and that's reason enough. Thought-provoking Quotes: “I think there's a great mystery at the heart of the human experience and I wanted to explore joy as one of those unbelievable places.” – Kate Bowler “The purpose of that ache inside you is to get you to re-examine how it feels in your body, bring your honesty to it, and then ask, where can I go from here? Where can this take me that's lovelier than here?” – Kate Bowler “I find that absurdity is one of the side doors to joy.” – Kate Bowler “Joy is asking us to step up to the edge of a mystery where we get momentary fulfillment and then we get life. And God is asking us to say that this is holy.” – Kate Bowler Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Joyful Anyway by Kate Bowler - https://amzn.to/3ZWqNBT Kate Bowler book tour - https://katebowler.com/books/joyfulanyway/#tour Theo of Golden: A Novel by Allen Levi- https://amzn.to/4bdpN2q Guest's Links: Website - https://katebowler.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/katecbowler/ Twitter - https://x.com/katecbowler Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/katecbowler Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf8m7lNdR7YVieU0muCg5cg TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@katecbowler Substack - https://katebowler.substack.com/ Podcast - https://katebowler.com/podcasts/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Lisa Whittle for an honest look at the quiet ache many women in the church experience—an ache that often goes unnamed and unspoken. Lisa shares her own experiences and those of countless women who have felt their gifts, confidence, and leadership misunderstood or suppressed.

Lisa encourages women to stand firm in their calling, to reject false guilt, and to trust in God's justice and timing.

Holy Week is one of the most sacred moments in the Christian calendar—the final days of Lent when believers around the world pause to remember Jesus' journey to the Cross and celebrate the victory of the Resurrection. Yet for many families, the week can easily pass by like any other busy stretch of spring. School schedules, activities, and daily responsibilities crowd in, and the deeper meaning of the season can slip quietly past.    On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose reflect on the profound beauty and gravity of Holy Week and what it looks like to help our daughters understand both the ache of Christ's sacrifice and the joy of Easter morning.  Together, Rachael and Natalie share personal moments when the reality of Jesus' suffering and love became deeply personal in their own faith journeys. They also explore the powerful thread of Messianic prophecy woven throughout Scripture—Old Testament promises that pointed directly to Jesus as the long-awaited Savior. From the Psalms to the prophets, God's redemptive plan unfolds across the pages of the Bible and reaches its fulfillment in the Cross.  Listeners will also hear a meaningful Raising Godly Girls Minute from Patti Garibay that challenges parents to model Christ-like humility in their relationships with their daughters. Drawing from the moment in John 13 when Jesus washed His disciples' feet—even the feet of Judas—Patti reminds us that servant leadership and grace can restore connection in even the most strained relationships.    As Holy Week unfolds, this conversation encourages parents to slow down, reflect deeply, and invite their daughters into the sacred rhythms of Scripture, testimony, prayer, and praise. Because when families intentionally walk through the story of Jesus together, the hope of Easter becomes even more powerful.    Three Things to Consider:    Make Scripture central during Holy Week. Walk through the events of the week—from Palm Sunday to the Resurrection—so your daughter can see the full picture of Jesus' journey to the Cross.  Share your personal faith story. Holy Week is a meaningful opportunity to talk about how God is still shaping your own heart and faith journey today.  Practice prayer and praise together. Simple rhythms of prayer, worship, and reflection help your family respond to the weight of the Cross and the joy of the Resurrection.    Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:    John 13:1–17  Psalm 22  Isaiah 53  Luke 23:33–46  Matthew 28:1–6    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.            Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.      

In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Chris and Cristina are joined by Dr. Kristen Hawkes, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Utah and one of the most influential evolutionary anthropologists in the field. Drawing on decades of fieldwork with the Ache of eastern Paraguay and the Hadza of northern Tanzania, her work challenged long-standing assumptions about hunting, showing that men's hunting often functions less as direct provisioning and more as social signaling. Dr. Hawkes is also the architect of the grandmother hypothesis, a foundational idea in evolutionary anthropology. This framework argues that grandmothers play a critical role in supporting offspring when mothers have new infants, helping to drive key features of human life history, including longer lifespans, slower development, and shorter birth intervals. By integrating ethnographic data, comparative primate evidence, and formal modeling, her research has reshaped our understanding of human longevity, menopause, and social behavior. In this episode, we focus on her paper “Revisiting the Grandmother Hypothesis and Human Longevity,” where she returns to the core logic of grandmothering and its role in explaining why humans live so long compared to other apes. Part 2 (airing next week) zooms out to explore how these dynamics scale up to explain broader features of human life history and social evolution. ------------------------------ Find the work discussed in this episode: Hawkes, K., & Jones, N.

The Ache of Being Human (3.29.26, Alison Noll) by River NYC Sermons

How do we actually cultivate deeper friendships? The kind where we don't have to perform, hide, or carry the weight of our lives alone? In this episode, we begin a new series on soul friendships: relationships marked by honesty, presence, and a shared attentiveness to God's work in our lives. But before we talk about how to build them, we start with something more honest: the tension so many of us feel between our longing to be known and our instinct to hide. We also unpack what soul friendships really are, where the idea comes from, and the key markers that set them apart…from authenticity and openness to a lack of agenda and a shared curiosity about where God is at work. These kinds of friendships don't just support our lives. They shape them. And they become spaces where we are seen, formed, and invited into deeper connection with both God and others. Thought-provoking quotes: “Love doesn't actually allow for that kind of hiding. Love invites our whole selves and our whole stories out into the light.” - Taylor Joy Murray “We were made for spaces where the broken and the beautiful parts of our lives can be held together, without fear of being too much or not enough.” - Taylor Joy Murray “Spiritual friendships are not built on performance, but on a kind of self-giving love that has its source in God.” - Taylor Joy Murray “Friendship becomes a kind of relational mirror: a space where we come to know ourselves more truthfully because we are seen, reflected, and responded to by another person.” - Taylor Joy Murray Get Faith & Feeling's weekly resource email Watch this episode on YouTube Grab a copy of my book Stop Saying I'm Fine Connect with me on my website Find me on Instagram @__taylorjoy__ Key words: friendship, authentic relationships, emotional safety, community, vulnerability, loneliness, connection, intimacy, curiosity, authenticity, personal growth, spiritual formation, courage, compassion, self-awareness

Okay, so confession: my kids had just gone to bed when we started this one, and honestly, the timing felt about right — because this conversation with Jarrod McKenna is the kind of thing you need to sit with after the noise dies down. Jarrod is an Australian activist, peacemaker, and theologian who's been doing this work since he got arrested at a US military base in the middle of the Australian desert back in 2002 — and the wild thing is, the world looks eerily similar now. We talked about what it actually means to follow a nonviolent Messiah when your government just joined a war you didn't vote for, how prayer isn't an escape hatch but a way of composting all the grief and rage so you can actually be useful, and why the just war tradition — which most Christians cheerfully ignore — would rule out basically everything happening right now. We got into the Black church's tradition of Christian socialism, why the megachurch model accidentally trained people to accept autocracy, and how base communities might be the most subversive thing you can plant in the shell of the old world. We also wandered into eschatology, Harry Potter, the Counting Crows, and whether God has been patient enough with this whole experiment for 13 billion years, that maybe we should take a deep breath. It's a lot — in the best way. Join 600+ Listeners, 30 theologians, & 30 God-Pods at Theology Beer Camp 2026 this October 8-10 in Kansas City! Australian peace award-winning pastor Jarrod McKenna has been described by Civil Rights legend Rev. Jim Lawson as 'an expert in nonviolent social change'. With over 20 years of experience in pastoral ministry and at the leading edge of climate justice, refugee rights, and nonviolent social change, Jarrod has seen his work featured internationally on the BBC, Al Jazeera, ABC, and The Guardian. Co-host of the InVerse and 'Good on Wood' podcasts, Jarrod pastors at Steeple Church (Melbourne) and Table in the Trees (Perth). He lives in the Perth hills on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja with his beloved, Kat, and their four sons. UPCOMING ONLINE CLASS - Theology for Troublemakers: Christian Social Ethics from the Margins The injustices we face are immense — but they are not unique. Previous generations confronted the same powers with theological conviction and strategic brilliance. The question is whether we'll learn from them. This 6-week online course, led by Dr. Gary Dorrien and Dr. Aaron Stauffer, recovers the radical tradition of Christian social ethics — from Reverdy Ransom and Reinhold Niebuhr to James Cone and the Welfare Rights Movement — and asks what faithfulness demands of us right now. Weekly lectures, live Q&A conversations, guest lecturers, and an online community included.

We often think the "lost" are the ones who run away. But you can be standing right in the middle of the Father's house and still be miles away from His heart. When life doesn't seem fair and grace feels unearned, our hearts can quickly turn to bitterness and comparison. Join Celebration Church Orlando for a message that explores the "Ache" of religious performance and the invitation to move from the field of "duty" to the Father's "table."
