Podcasts about Attractiveness

I think so many of us are longing for a faith that meets us right where we are. A faith that we can practice in school car line. At work. On a hospital bed. During a pandemic. A faith that is not merely escapism or triumphalism but a real faith in Christ that works not for the benefits it gives us, but for the ways it opens us up to the mystery of God. A faith that leaves room for questions, doubts, and one in which we don't have to perform to perfection. That's why I love the writing of Tish Harrison Warren. Listen to these book titles: Liturgy of the Ordinary. Prayer In The Night. And her most recent, What Grows in Wearly Lands: On Christian Resilience. Tish formerly wrote a weekly newsletter about faith for The New York Times. She serves as the C.S. Lewis Theological Write-in-residence at Truett Seminary's Anglican Episcopal House of Studies. She is a senior fellow with the Trinity Forum and an assisting priest at Immanuel Anglican Church. In this conversation we talk about Christian resilience, what we can learn from the first thousand years of church history, the writings of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, and Tish's spiritual journey from the Southern Baptist Church to the PCA to now becoming a priest in the Anglican Church. Topics Covered: Writing in the midst of a busy life The frustration of writing and how to get it done Writing to teach ideas vs writing to convey beauty Reflections on evangelicalism in Tish’s early years Tish’s journey to becoming an Anglican priest Why we need the first 1000 years of the church Who the Desert Fathers and Mothers are and what we can learn from them Resources Mentioned: What Grows In Weary Lands: On Christian Resilience by Tish Harrison Warren Prayer in the Night: For Those Who Work or Watch or Weep by Tish Harrison Warren Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices In Everyday Life by Tish Harrison Warren Advent: The Season of Hope by Tish Harrison Warren Make Your Home In This Luminous Dark: Mysticism, Art, And The Path of Unknowing by James K.A.

Smith Liturgies of the Wild: Myths That Make Us by Martin Shaw Show Sponsor: Planning Center This episode is brought to you by Planning Center, helping you sync all your ministry details across your whole church. Planning Center has become so essential to how I manage a team, that it's almost impossible to consider local church ministry without it anymore. Today, I want to leave you with a PCO pro-tip. Does this sound like a familiar situation? It's the end of the week. You're about to leave the office when you suddenly think: Did all of our volunteers confirm for Sunday? You scroll through the schedule and sure enough—there's a gap. Instead of allowing yourself to spiral into a panic, try this: In Services, Planning Center has gap alerts. Turn them on, and you'll get a heads-up days before service if positions are still unfilled or unconfirmed. No more end of the week scrambling. Speaking of less scrambling, did you know you can access everything you need for rehearsals right from the Service media player on your phone? Lyrics, chord charts, arrangement notes—it's all right there, so you're not hunting for files in the middle of hitting those power chords. To see what else you can do to make your Sundays easier, go to planningcenter.com/blog.

The European Union is one of the world's most developed regions; yet deep territorial inequalities persist. According to Eurostat, GDP per capita can vary threefold within the same member state, with capital regions often earning twice as much as the rest of the country.In this episode of Europe Talks Back, produced with ESPON, Léa Marchal explores why many small and medium-sized cities are losing ground — and whether this trend can be reversed.Joined by Andrés Rodríguez-Pose, Professor at the London School of Economics and Chair of the High-Level Group on the Future of EU Cohesion Policy, the discussion looks at demographic decline, policy blind spots, and the limits of current cohesion funding.Are these cities doomed to fall behind - or can smarter investment and stronger local institutions help them thrive again?Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.A podcast by Europod, in cooperation with ESPON, an EU-funded programme that bridges research with policies“This podcast series is cofunded by ESPON.

Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, A'ja Wilson, Paige Bueckers, and the Cleveland Sirens — Jason Whitlock argues the WNBA isn't selling basketball. It's anti-male reality TV with a jump shot. Hollywood's show bible; the manufactured mantle for Wilson; Bueckers as the approved co-star; Clark and Cunningham as the wrong chick flick ("Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" vs. "Thelma & Louise"); and coaches reading the ally script while male identity gets marked optional. The product isn't a pick-and-roll. The product is the sermon. ➢​​Today's Sponsors PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.

First, let's get this clear - typing with a smashed finger is hard.  On the plus side, it's not Vaughn's finger, which is now missing (keep your hands inside the truck on-trail).  Another warning: seatbelts are good (especially when Audiots are known to be in the area).  This episode's one of those gearhead-sink specials, where everything is interesting and there's too much geek goodness for one (Garage) hour.  We've got black paint on Scott's 911 and Ryan's B6, black music (does Black Sabbath quality?), Ferrari missing the electric-car boat in the most expensive (and ugliest) way possible (...introducing the Ferrari Aztek!), a fix for politicians who missed the Freedom Train and were trying to put spyware in new cars (can't flee the mutant eskimo polar deer monsters if the car won't start), and a bit of an over-the-shoulder anniversary look at the hypnotic tale of a man who couldn't take it any longer, so he built a tank out a bulldozer.

Physical attraction gets talked about a lot in modern dating, but in this episode, we explore what attraction actually means beneath the surface. We unpack why so many of us chase certain looks, lifestyles, or “types” in relationships, and how those preferences are often tied to deeper emotional wounds, self-worth, and the need for validation.   We discuss:• The difference between looking conventionally attractive and looking the most like yourself• How attraction becomes more magnetic when we stop trying to appeal to everyone • The role self-acceptance plays in creating healthier relationships • Why emotional depth and authenticity matter more than appearance long term • How we lose ourselves trying to become “everyone's type” • The freedom that comes from embracing your unique physical expressionWhether you've struggled with body image, comparison, dating standards, or feeling like you have to look a certain way to be loved, this conversation brings a much more human perspective to attraction, confidence, and connection.Want to work with Bri and/or Courtney?Connect with Bri on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠@buildingbricoaching⁠⁠⁠Connect with Courtney on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠@courtney_schand⁠⁠⁠Follow the show on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠ @thefortheloveofmenpodcast⁠⁠⁠Check out our website:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.fortheloveofmenpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠Looking for deeper support?Check out our Masterclasses:1️⃣ What Your Woman Wants Emotionally And How to Provide It: Unlock the secrets to fulfilling your partner emotionally!

Ireland remains an attractive location for foreign direct investment (FDI) with investor sentiment positive and overall investment here holding steady even as Europe continues a multi-year decline in inbound investment. That's according to the EY European Attractiveness Survey, which tracks cross-border investment projects resulting in new facilities and job creation across the continent. Ireland attracted 75 FDI projects in 2025, matching 2024 levels. This places it 15th overall in Europe, up two places from last year, and tenth on a per-population basis. United States investment made up more than half (53%) of inbound FDI to Ireland, consistent with historical levels and considerably higher than the 19% average held by US FDI across Europe. The regional profile was balanced, with 41% of projects in locations outside of Dublin. Ireland ranked tenth in Europe by investors in terms of FDI attractiveness for 2026, with investors pointing to a range of factors that make Ireland an attractive location for future FDI investment. These include our EU location and the access to new markets and customers this brings, competitive tax policy – most notably the R&D tax credit, talent, language and cultural ties to North America in particular. In contrast, inward investment for Europe fell to a ten-year low in 2025, with a 7% drop in projects when compared to 2024. Total projects across the continent in 2025 (5,023) were 22% lower than the 2019 pre-pandemic level (6,412). While the number of projects from US investors in Europe stabilised during 2025, it remains 38% below its 2019 peak. This is driven by industrial policy decisions by successive US administrations, as well as perceptions by investors of weaker growth prospects, regulatory complexity, higher operating costs and policy fragmentation. Software and IT services (33) was Ireland's leading FDI sector during 2025, with the number of projects doubling versus 2024, and the sector accounted for more than 40% of the year's total. Business services (14) and financial services (9) projects were the next two largest FDI sectors in Ireland. A key highlight of the research is the strength of the Irish innovation economy. Research and development projects (R&D) accounted for 25% of Irish investments, far ahead of the total European share of 7%. This confirms Ireland's position as a leading knowledge economy with a strong capacity to attract innovation-driven investment and supported by an internationally competitive R&D tax credit regime. Ireland was also rated highly as a location for AI investment, innovation and deployment. However, the research also identified risks to Ireland's future attractiveness. Ireland is perceived as having challenges in terms of infrastructure, and the cost of energy, labour and other inputs. Infrastructure constraints was the top-rated risk affecting Ireland's future attractiveness, rising from sixth in the previous year's survey. EY Ireland Partner and Head of FDI Feargal de Freine said: "In what was another challenging year for FDI in Europe, holding our own is a strong outcome for Ireland as is the continued strength of investor sentiment towards Ireland. Our performances in software and R&D in particular highlight our enduring advantage in these fields, while Ireland was also rated highly as a location for AI investment, innovation and deployment. However, the broader European trend points towards a structural shift in global FDI investment that has been underway for several years now, as countries utilise industrial policy to aggressively court investment. Events over the past 12 to 18 months have accelerated this agenda, and businesses and policymakers are seeking to navigate disruption across a range of fields simultaneously, including geopolitical risk, economic shock and technological disruption. Carol Murphy, EY Ireland Partner and Head of Markets said: "It is encouraging to see Ireland continuing to secure a disproportionately strong share of in...

A new study has confirmed that women are generally more attractive than men, but why are we different from other species, and why is there an ‘attractiveness gap'?Joining Seán to discuss is Eugene Wassiliwizky, a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Germany.

Let's look at the actual math: a massive new study analyzed nearly 800,000 professional modeling photos from the last 25 years, and the data proves that the industry's "body-positive" shift is mostly a mirage. While brands love to post plus-size models for clout, the actual median waist size for models has stayed locked at a tiny 23–24 inches (60–61 cm) since 2000.Even the "plus-size" models being cast are *still* way smaller and leaner than the average American woman. Basically, the industry is using a few token outliers to look progressive, while the actual, everyday standard for high fashion hasn't shifted even a little bit.There is a huge disconnect happening on TikTok and Instagram right now, where a lot of modern women are genuinely falling for the delusion that the game has changed. Because we see a few curve models on our feeds, there's this belief that society has completely rewritten what it finds conventionally attractive.But the data shows that's a total cap.The delusion is thinking that corporate marketing campaigns equal real-world attraction. Brands like Savage X Fenty or Dove didn't launch "inclusive" campaigns because they wanted to change the laws of human biology; they did it because inclusivity sells products to the average consumer. Some women have internalized this corporate validation so deeply that they expect the entire, hardwired framework of conventional beauty—which for thousands of years has biologically linked certain proportions to youth and health—to shift just because a brand changed its billboard.We've confused *feeling good in our own skin* (which is awesome and necessary) with *changing what the world considers a high-fashion ideal*. When women get mad that the world isn't celebrating an average or above-average physique as the new peak of conventional attractiveness, they are fighting biology with internet trends.The most empowering thing you can do is unplug from the delusion. Stop waiting for a fundamentally exclusive industry to validate your real-world body. Once you realize that the "inclusive shift" is just a corporate aesthetic designed to get your data and your cash, you can stop holding yourself to a standard that was never real in the first place.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts

In preparation for Valentine's Day, we are talking about the top 10 ways females can improve their attractiveness. Female beauty is such an amazing aspect of human life and that's why I have dedicated my life to working in aesthetic medicine. I love helping women feel beautiful on both the inside and out. The idea of female beauty is more than just an artificial aspect of women, but rather an all-encompassing characteristic to describe all the amazing facets of a woman. Facial harmony, universal beauty, and internal confidence are all various components of attractiveness that I seek to improve in all my patients.

In this compelling conversation, I sit down with 21-year-old desister Simon Amaya Price, who identified as transgender from ages 14 to 17. Now serving as Outreach and Events Lead at the LGB Courage Coalition, Simon offers invaluable insights into why young people—especially those with autism—fall into gender ideology.We explore the perfect storm of factors that led to Simon's trans identification: autism, bullying, sexual assault, and false accusations in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Simon shares how his parents' firm boundaries against medicalization, combined with giving him a "long leash" to make mistakes and learn from them, ultimately helped him desist.Our discussion delves into practical strategies for parents, including the "match plus one" social skills framework, body-based distress tolerance techniques, and why allowing kids to experience natural consequences is crucial. Simon challenges the "neurodiversity affirming" approach that keeps autistic kids disabled, advocating instead for teaching real-world skills. We examine how disconnection from the body fuels gender dysphoria and why adventures, cold showers, and physical challenges can reconnect kids to reality. This episode offers hope and concrete tools for families navigating the gender crisis.Simon is a desister, writer, and speaker, fighting gender ideology with classical liberal values. At 14, he came out as transgender but desisted after 3 years. He has written for The Boston Globe, testified on bills nationwide, has spoken in communities across the country, and been featured in the Daily Mail, Boston Herald, and The Daily Signal.

In this program, Chip stresses the devastating impact unresolved conflict has on a marriage. Every marriage will eventually face struggles and arguments over four key areas:RolesIn-lawsMoneySexFighting lies with truthLie #9:Getting help for our marriage from a counselor or a mentor is for losers. We should be able to figure this out on our own, and besides, we don't want to broadcast our problems.The truth:Every great athlete, artist, and business executive knows the value of a COACH. We all get stuck on occasion and need help to work through the issues we can't see for ourselves.Key verse:1 Peter 5:5Lie #10 (for women):All he cares about is work and sports. I feel like I'm left to do all the work of raising our kids and taking care of our home. I wonder sometimes if he even cares.The truth:Men default to areas where they feel confident. Your husband has fears and insecurities about being a SPIRITUAL LEADER and EFFECTIVE FATHER. Criticism and disrespect will heighten those fears and push him away.Key verse:1 Peter 3:1-2Lie #11 (for men):All my wife cares about is the kids and the calendar. Our sex life is on life support because she's always tired or making excuses. Sometimes I wonder if she even cares.The truth:Women default to areas where they feel confident. Your wife has fears and insecurities about her VALUE, IDENTITY, and physical ATTRACTIVENESS. Sarcasm about sex, her looks, or her preoccupation with the kids will only reinforce her feelings of inadequacy.Key verse:Ephesians 5:28-29Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource MentionsMarriage Truth Cards Offer"Uninvited Guests" ResourcesConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003
