Nick and Myron are back with another episode of the Tapped Out Wrestling Podcast, digging into some of the biggest business and industry stories changing the landscape of pro wrestling.Could WWE's relationship with Disney become much bigger than the current ESPN deal? With rumors involving Disney properties, special events, streaming content and even potential destination experiences, we look at how TKO continues to attach WWE to some of the biggest companies in entertainment.Japan is also becoming an interesting battleground. WWE is heading to Netflix while AEW has announced a new home on Hulu Japan. We discuss the very different approaches both companies are taking as they try to grow internationally without necessarily replacing Japan's established wrestling scene.Plus, AEW All Out has sold out despite WWE and AAA running Worlds Collide in the Chicago market on the same night. Does that show how strong AEW's core audience really is, and could head-to-head scheduling become much more common?We also debate the controversy surrounding Stephanie Vaquer's Women's World Championship victory over Liv Morgan in Chile. WWE made the complete match exclusive to Club WWE, leaving some fans asking whether major storyline moments and championship changes should ever be locked behind another paid service.Then we turn our attention back to the independent scene with Indy Rewind, covering the latest from 1FW, Kraken Pro, AWE and ACTION, before Making the Drive previews a packed weekend of wrestling throughout Georgia. Are WWE's corporate partnerships making the company stronger than ever? Can AEW continue succeeding when WWE counterprograms its biggest events? And where should WWE draw the line between premium exclusive content and something every fan should be able to see?

Rachel Carson wrote that those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. I have been thinking about that sentence a lot lately. In this episode I explore what awe actually is, drawing on Dacher Keltner's definition: the feeling of being in the presence of something vast that transcends your current understanding of the world. And I make the case that awe does not require a mountaintop. It can arrive in an ordinary afternoon, which I illustrate with a deeply personal moment involving old photos of my son and what stopped me cold in that quiet. Keltner's research found that the most common source of awe across cultures is not nature or music but other people's courage, kindness, and overcoming. Awe is everywhere. The question is whether we are moving slowly enough to let it in. Want to keep going?

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Dr. Sara Pugh, who holds a PhD in molecular mechanisms and was the first board-certified quantum biologist, for a conversation about the health input almost nobody is optimizing: light. Quantum biology, as she explains it, is simply looking at health through light, water, and magnetism, with a heavy focus on the mitochondria and the electrons that carry our life force.   You will learn why the specific blend of red, blue, and violet light at sunrise sets your body clocks and switches on hormonal cascades in the pituitary gland, why glass blocks roughly half the red light and all of the grounding benefit, how UVA builds the serotonin you will convert to melatonin later, and when UVB is actually available to make vitamin D from cholesterol. Dr. Pugh and Dr. Jockers also dig into the sunscreen and sunglasses debate, the dietary strategies that build real sun tolerance, and why DHA is a quantum molecule that can turn light into electricity and back again.   From there the conversation turns to Dr. Pugh's nine-day water fast, why she ended it a day early when her leptin came back at 0.7, what refeeding after an extended fast actually requires, and how sauna, cold plunges, and other hormetic stressors build resilience when the dose is right.   In This Episode:  00:00 Flying and Clot Risk 02:38 Meet Dr Sara Pugh 03:27 Quantum Biology Explained 04:49 Why She Got Into It 06:34 Sunrise and Body Clocks 08:29 Sunrise Indoors vs Outdoors 09:57 Morning Ritual and Awe 13:01 Sunset and Sleep Signals 15:07 Evening Light Hygiene Tips 17:24 UVA UVB and Vitamin D 20:44 Sunscreen and Sunglasses Debate 25:15 Dietary Sun Protection 26:38 Omega 3 DHA and EZ Water 29:54 Airplanes Dehydration and Flow 31:42 Structured Water and Fresh Fruit 34:46 Seasonal Eating and Summer Sun 35:22 Muscadines and Gut Fuel 36:23 Fasting Boosts Akkermansia 36:47 Nine Day Fast Experiment 39:30 Low Leptin Explained 44:02 Symptoms and Lab Testing 46:15 Refeeding After Long Fasts 51:30 Sauna for Autophagy 55:37 Cold Face Plunge Benefits 58:45 Hormesis and Cortisol Balance 01:01:37 Carbs Keto and Mitochondria 01:03:52 Wrap Up and Takeaways   Turmeric is one of the most potent natural ways to calm inflammation, shutting down the NF-κB and STAT3 pathways behind so many chronic issues.

Under a road in Italy sits a 2,400-year-old tomb that rings like a cathedral, with a blue demon painted at the exact spot where your ears stop working. New research says the room was a machine for taking a living body apart at the threshold of the dead. And the strangest part is what it shares with a haunted lab, an Andean temple, and a church organ. Tonight we chase the Holy Frequency. The low band of sound that ancient builders from Ireland to Peru used to manufacture awe, the near-identical frequency that haunts rooms and got written into weapons patents, and the buried lesson underneath all of it. Awe and dread may be one vibration wearing two masks, and the only thing that decides which one you meet is the room around you.

Artificial intelligence may be changing the world, but Stan Hustad believes the most important question is far more personal: What will it change in you, and what will you choose to do with it? In this timely edition from the What It Takes Radio Company, Stan the Radio Man steps into the controversy surrounding artificial intelligence with curiosity, humor, faith, and a broadcaster's instinct for asking the question beneath the headlines. Will AI improve human performance or diminish human purpose? Will it expand creativity or encourage intellectual laziness? Will it help people serve their audiences more effectively, or merely fill the world with more noise? For Stan, the answer will not be determined by the technology alone. It will be determined by the wisdom, character, imagination, and intentions of the people using it. Between Fear and Fascination The program was recorded during the Jewish tradition's Days of Awe, the reflective season between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is a time associated with examination, repentance, forgiveness, and the determination to live differently in the coming year. That spiritual setting provides an appropriate background for a conversation about AI. Artificial intelligence is already provoking its own kind of awe: sometimes wonder, sometimes fear, and frequently confusion. Some predict that AI will solve extraordinary human problems. Others warn that it will threaten employment, distort truth, consume enormous resources, and possibly become dangerously difficult to control. Stan does not dismiss legitimate concerns, but he resists the temptation to surrender to panic. History reminds us that almost every significant technological change has produced both exaggerated promises and exaggerated fears. The automobile, radio, television, the internet, and social media were all expected either to save society or ruin it. None fulfilled every promise. None produced every predicted disaster. Each became a tool whose consequences depended substantially upon the people, purposes, and systems directing it. AI may become extraordinarily powerful, but power is not the same thing as wisdom. From Artificial Intelligence to Human Performance Stan proposes a constructive shift in the conversation: move from merely discussing artificial intelligence to considering human performance. The best question may not be, "What can AI do?" It may be: What can AI help human beings do better? Used wisely, AI can help people research, organize, compare, question, revise, illustrate, and communicate. It can assist entrepreneurs in developing ideas, teachers in preparing lessons, broadcasters in extending programs, and authors in transforming spoken insights into published work. But AI cannot decide what a human life should be about. It cannot determine whom a person is called to serve. It cannot substitute information for integrity, automation for imagination, or production for purpose. Stan's challenge is to use artificial intelligence in the service of human flourishing. Technology should help people become more thoughtful, creative, capable, generous, and fully alive, not merely faster. Everyone Has an Audience One of the program's central ideas is Stan's enduring conviction that everyone has an audience, or at least a potential audience. That audience should not be treated simply as prospects, customers, clients, or statistical targets. An audience is a community of people who might be informed, encouraged, helped, challenged, or transformed by what someone has learned and is willing to share. Finding that audience begins with two questions: Who are you called to serve? How can you help them become better, happier, wiser, braver, more capable, or more fully alive? AI can assist in reaching those people, but it cannot answer the calling question on a person's behalf. That requires reflection, self-knowledge, spiritual discernment, and a willingness to listen. Success begins not with attracting the largest possible audience, but with becoming genuinely useful to the right one. Become Someone People Trust Remember and Follow Technology may create visibility, but visibility does not automatically produce credibility. Stan draws upon ideas he has studied throughout his career, including the enduring principles associated with Dale Carnegie, to describe the kind of communicator worth becoming: a person whom others can trust, remember, and follow. Trust is earned through truthfulness and consistency. People remember those who communicate with clarity, personality, and genuine concern. They follow those who have demonstrated that their ideas can lead somewhere worthwhile. AI may polish a sentence or improve a presentation, but it cannot manufacture a trustworthy life. The communicator must still do the inner work. Anyone hoping to transform a business, organization, audience, or community must first be willing to experience some transformation personally. That may involve the discomfort, even the trauma, of questioning familiar assumptions, abandoning ineffective habits, confronting personal limitations, and beginning again. The Seen the Unseen and the Limits of Knowledge The program also moves beyond technological questions into something deeper: the mystery of how little human beings truly know about themselves and their world. Stan reflects on the difference between what is seen and what remains unseen. People naturally place great confidence in what can be measured, displayed, calculated, or explained. Yet some of life's most powerful realities, including faith, love, courage, memory, imagination, motive, and spiritual influence, cannot always be placed neatly on a screen. Human beings also understand only a portion of what is taking place within themselves. Talents may remain undiscovered. Fears can operate below conscious awareness. Unexamined desires can influence decisions. Shadows, selfishness, and destructive tendencies can coexist with remarkable generosity and courage. Artificial intelligence can reveal patterns in enormous collections of information. It may even help people notice patterns within their own work. But it does not eliminate the need for humility. The beginning of wisdom may be the admission that neither the machine nor its maker knows everything. A Touch of Immortality Stan then introduces one of the program's most provocative and engaging ideas: the possibility of achieving a touch of immortality. He is not suggesting that human beings can avoid death. His meaning is both simpler and more demanding. A person gains a touch of immortality when something they create continues serving others after they are gone. During a long life in broadcasting, teaching, coaching, and entrepreneurship, Stan has produced thousands of radio programs, videos, articles, interviews, and presentations. Many remain online. Some may be discovered years from now by people he has never met. The same opportunity is increasingly available to others. A book, recording, course, podcast, letter, lesson, or story can preserve hard-earned wisdom and carry it beyond the limits of one lifetime. The goal is not simply to leave behind more digital material. The internet already contains more material than anyone could consume. The challenge is to create something true and useful, something capable of helping another person live, work, believe, or serve more faithfully. As Stan reminds his audience, it may not be what a person completes or achieves that finally matters most. It may be what that person starts. From Books to Broadcasting and Back Again Stan sees a powerful relationship between publishing and broadcasting. Someone who wants to write a book may begin by speaking it. Teaching, recording, interviewing, and telling stories can uncover the natural voice and central ideas that eventually become chapters. A microphone can also help an author introduce and distribute a completed book. The book supplies depth and permanence; broadcasting creates presence, personality, and connection. The process works in both directions. A book can become a broadcast, podcast, course, or video series. A collection of broadcasts can become a book. A spoken story can become an article. A lifetime of experience can become a body of teaching that continues serving others. AI can assist with transcription, organization, editing, summarization, and adaptation. But the lived experience, conviction, wisdom, and human voice must come from the person. The machine can help shape the material. It should not replace the soul of it. Entering the Transformation Zone Stan places this conversation within his larger understanding of the stages, or zones, of a meaningful life. People begin in the Curiosity Zone, where they explore, question, discover, and learn. They move into the Impact Zone, where they must create value, earn a living, serve others, and produce meaningful results. Experience can then lead into the Wisdom Zone, where lessons are examined, tested, and better understood. From wisdom comes the possibility of entering the Transformation Zone: the place where a person becomes capable of creating changes that are profound, lasting, and genuinely important. Transformation is more than improvement. It is not merely doing the same thing a little faster or decorating an old idea with new technology. Transformation changes what a person, organization, or community is capable of becoming. AI may participate in that process, but it cannot lead it alone. Transformation still requires people who possess moral imagination, spiritual depth, practical wisdom, and a genuine desire to be the cause of good things. Things to Remember Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool, but it is not a source of ultimate wisdom, purpose, or calling. The essential question is not only what AI can do, but what it can help human beings do better. Everyone has a potential audience: people they may be called and equipped to serve. Lasting influence grows from becoming someone others can trust, remember, and follow. We understand only a portion of ourselves and our world; humility remains essential. A book, broadcast, lesson, or story can continue serving people long after its creator is gone. Technology should strengthen human performance and flourishing, not diminish human responsibility. Things to Share Share this program with: Someone who is fearful or confused about artificial intelligence. An entrepreneur wondering how AI might strengthen a business without compromising its humanity. A teacher, pastor, coach, or broadcaster with wisdom that deserves a larger audience. A friend who has always wanted to write a book but does not know how to begin. A person entering a new season of life who may be ready to turn experience into service. And share this question: What good thing could you begin today that might continue helping people long after you are gone? Things to Take Action On Identify your audience. Write down the people you feel called to help and the transformation you hope they will experience. Choose one piece of enduring wisdom. Record a five-minute explanation of something life has taught you. Use AI as an assistant. Ask it to help transcribe, organize, or refine your words, but carefully review the result so the final work remains truthful and recognizably yours. Turn one form of communication into another. Convert a talk into an article, a podcast into a chapter, or a book chapter into a short video. Examine your own transformation. Ask what must change in you before you can credibly help transform someone else. Be the cause of good stuff. Do one practical thing today that makes another person's life better, wiser, richer, braver, or more hopeful. The Final Challenge Artificial intelligence will undoubtedly transform many occupations, industries, institutions, and methods of communication. But Stan Hustad leaves his audience with a more personal and consequential challenge. Do not merely ask whether AI will transform the world. Ask whether you will use it to become more fully alive, to serve your audience more faithfully, and to create something that matters. Speak well. Seek truth. Create good. Help others. Begin something worth continuing. That may be how artificial intelligence contributes to human transformation, and how an ordinary human life acquires a genuine touch of immortality.

In this message, we are reminded that when we live in awe of Jesus, we give Him our yes that becomes life-changing generosity. Giving Jesus our yes enables us to connect with empathy, practice courageous integrity and lead with the power of kindness. Awe is an awareness of God's presence and movement that changes how we live. Life-changing generosity makes room for others, gives us what God has placed in our hands and meets the real needs in our lives. Let us live in awe, the awareness of God's presence this week. Where do we see God in our circumstances, our community and our relationships with others?

In this episode of The Prophetic Voice of Our Time, Pastor Joshua Sosso explores the biblical significance of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year and Feast of Trumpets. Joined by Rachel Barron, the program examines the meaning of the shofar, the calls to repentance and consecration, the Days of Awe, Yom Kippur, and the coming reign of King Jesus.

And what if praising God sometimes feels awkward, artificial, or forced?In this reflection on Psalm 67, John Ortberg explores the same question that once troubled C. S. Lewis.Lewis eventually discovered that God doesn't need praise like an insecure person needs compliments. Praise is actually part of our enjoyment of what's good.We naturally praise the things we love, and we want other people to enjoy them too. That's why Lewis concluded that praise doesn't merely express joy:Praise completes joy.And when praise still feels like duty? Keep tuning the instrument. The duty exists for the delight.In this episode: Psalm 67 • C.S. Lewis • praise • worship • doubt • awe • joy#Psalm67 #CSLewis #JohnOrtberg #Praise #Worship #SpiritualFormation

Shmuel Alef 1:1 - 2:10 The Haftara of Chana, read on the first day of Rosh Hashana, tells of a barren woman's anguished, silent prayer at Shilo and Hashem's response through the birth of Shmuel HaNavi. Rav Eli Weber highlights Chana's prayer as the model for all Jewish prayer, and her expression of gratitude when her plea was answered as a lesson for approaching the Days of Awe.

Sunday Night's Main Event came to Atlanta — but what happened inside the ring may only be part of the bigger story.This week on the Tapped Out Podcast, Nick and Myron look at the fallout from WWE's latest major event and what it may have revealed about the company's future. From the way WWE is positioning some of its biggest stars to the growing mix of wrestling, music and celebrity involvement, is TKO starting to redefine what a major WWE event is supposed to look like?Then we dig into some bigger questions surrounding the WWE roster.A new round of developmental releases has us wondering whether the entire philosophy behind NXT, LFG and the Performance Center is changing. How much time should a prospect really get to develop — and what does winning one of WWE's own talent competitions actually mean if nothing is guaranteed afterward?The business side gets even more interesting as reports of major contract reductions collide with WWE still handing out new multi-year deals to other established names. Is TKO simply cutting costs, or has WWE become much more selective about exactly which wrestlers it believes are worth premium money?We also take another look at AEW, where the numbers tell a more complicated story than some of the conversation surrounding the company. Is AEW healthier than people think — and are its biggest events becoming more important than what happens in the arenas every week?PLUS…

How do we continue to care for the living world when so much around us feels uncertain? On this episode of Biophilic Solutions, Monica Olsen talks with Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder, author of Mother, Creature, Kin: What We Learn from Nature's Mothers in a Time of Unraveling.Chelsea's book asks us to rethink what it means to care for each other, for the places we call home, and for the more-than-human world. Her journey began with becoming a mother herself, which opened up a deeper understanding of how caring for one life can expand into caring for an entire web of life.Monica and Chelsea explore what it might mean to think of ourselves as “mothers” of the living world, along with ideas of entanglement, sacred place, axis mundi, and the powerful sense of awe and belonging we can find in certain places. And while Chelsea doesn't shy away from ecological loss and uncertainty, she reminds us that we still have agency. By paying closer attention to the places and creatures we love, we can find ways to care, connect, and take action, even when it feels like the world is unraveling around us. Show NotesMother, Creature, Kin: What We Learn From Nature's Mothers In A Time of UnravelingChelsea Steinauer-ScudderChelsea Steinauer-Scudder on Instagram The Entwinement (Substack)Keywords: Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder, Mother Creature Kin, Biophilic Solutions, biophilia, nature, motherhood, ecology, environmentalism, climate change, nature connection, biodiversity, ecological grief, sacred places, axis mundi, awe, entanglement, regenerative living, environmental responsibility, nature and motherhoodBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

In this episode of Holy Days, Holy People, we explore Rosh Hashanah—the Jewish New Year—and discover why this biblical holiday is about far more than beginning another year. Rosh Hashanah is an invitation to wake up spiritually, examine our lives, return to God, and begin again.Today, Fellowship President and Global CEO Yael Eckstein explains the biblical origins of Rosh Hashanah, which the Bible also calls the Festival of Trumpets, and why the sounding of the shofar remains at the heart of the holiday. Jewish families welcome the new year with sweet foods and joyful traditions, while also entering one of the most serious periods on the Jewish calendar—the Ten Days of Repentance leading from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur.You'll discover the meaning behind the different blasts of the shofar and the spiritual journey they represent: recognizing God as King, crying out to Him in our brokenness, and awakening from spiritual slumber to live with greater purpose. The shofar calls us to look honestly at the year behind us, ask where we can do better, and seek God's help as we draw closer to Him in the year ahead.The episode also shares the remarkable story of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Meisels, who secretly sounded a shofar in Auschwitz on Rosh Hashanah in 1944. At enormous personal risk, he brought its ancient call to Jewish prisoners—including more than 1,000 boys facing death. In one of history's darkest places, the sound of the shofar became a declaration that even when everything seemed swallowed by darkness, God's people would continue to pray, remember, and believe.You'll also hear timeless teachings from Fellowship Founder Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, of blessed memory, as he explores teshuvah—repentance, or literally “return”—and explains why the Days of Awe offer an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and begin life anew. His teaching reminds us that God seeks His people and responds when we turn toward Him through repentance, prayer, and acts of charity.Whether Rosh Hashanah is a holiday you've celebrated for years or one that you're discovering for the first time, this podcast will deepen your understanding of this biblical holy day, reveal the powerful meaning behind the sound of the shofar, and encourage you to hear its call in your own life—to wake up, return to God, and step into a new beginning with Him.Continue your journey through the Bible and the Jewish roots of your faith at The Fellowship's Learn Center.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: What should our focus be during this last week before Rosh Hashana?   25 Elul What is the significance and personal application of this day?  How can we say that the world was created on the 25th of Elul when time itself was a creation and there was no time before creation? What is unique about this year beginning on Shabbos? And it being the longest possible year? Has anyone come up with a good acronym for Tov Shin Pei Zayin? Do you have anything to say about the fact that we have 213 years left until the end of the sixth millennium? Should we be afraid of Judgment Day? What can I do about the heaviness and guilt I feel every Rosh Hashana? Is everything I do for myself and not for G-d a sin? Why should I bother going to shul on Rosh Hashana? Especially considering that my prayers are not being answered? What is the source in Torah that on Rosh Hashana we coronate Hashem as King? If the creation of the universe and G-d's coronation as King is dependent on us, how did that come to be at the outset of creation before there was an “us”? Since “malchus has nothing of its own” do we say that our relationship with G-d is completely dependent on us? What is the difference between the renewal of existence on Rosh Hashana and its renewal every moment? How could G-d consult the angels about creation when the angels themselves were created? Are there any differences between how the 13 attributes of mercy manifest in Elul and how they manifest in the ten days between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur? What is the connection between Atem Netzavim HaYom and Rosh Hashana? Why was the shofar sounded in the Beis Ha'Mikdash on Shabbos? Since Shabbos accomplishes the same thing the shofar accomplishes, why do we need to sound the shofar on the second day of Rosh Hashana? What is the sequence of the holidays following Rosh Hashana? What is yechida and how do we access it on Yom Kippur? What is the significance of the joy of Sukkos following the Days of Awe? Why do they have to remain hidden? 5787 Rosh Hashana Yom Kippur and Sukkos 36 Tzaddikim (follow-up)

As we enter the month of Tishrei—the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar—hosts Shelley and June Volk dive deep into the spiritual significance of the Feasts of the Lord. From the fulfillment of the Spring Feasts in Jesus' first coming to the forward-looking promise of the Fall Feasts, this episode offers a roadmap for spiritual rededication. Learn about the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah / Rosh Hashanah), the 10 Days of Awe, and the powerful family tradition of Tashlich, where sins are symbolically cast into the sea. Discover how these sacred, appointed times serve as a call for both Jewish and Gentile believers to align their hearts with God. Key Takeaways: The Spring Feasts Fulfilled: Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Pentecost (Shavuot) all directly point to Christ's sacrifice, sinless nature, resurrection, and the sending of the Holy Spirit. The Prophetic Fall Feasts: The Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles point toward the end times, global repentance, and the ultimate gathering of God's people. The 10 Days of Awe & Tashlich: Starting on Rosh Hashanah, this 10-day season invites believers to reflect, seek forgiveness, and symbolically cast away sins—a practice rooted in the book of Micah. A Universal Call to Renewal: The appointed times of the Lord are not strictly for one background; they offer every believer an opportunity to rededicate their life, purge hidden sins, and prepare for the Lord's return.

The Loss of Awe in Worthless Worship

What does it mean to become better—and better for what?In this episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex Van Houten sits down with builder, entrepreneur, and fitness advocate Brock Holyoak for a conversation about action, discipline, fear, fitness, personal responsibility, and becoming more capable.Brock has a strong bias toward action: stop waiting until you know everything, start with what you have, learn by doing, and allow experience to shape you along the way. From building construction companies to training his body and developing his own fitness philosophy, his message is simple: most people already know enough to begin. The problem is that they often substitute consuming information for taking action.That creates some valuable questions for anyone who has spent too much time researching the perfect workout, diet, business strategy, or next step while doing very little with what they already know.But this conversation also exposes a deeper question at the heart of Faithful Fitness:What is all that improvement for?Strength is useful. Discipline is useful. Confidence is useful. Competence is useful. Becoming capable of doing difficult things is good.But none of those things can determine what deserves our devotion.Throughout the episode, Alex and Brock discuss:Why action often teaches what information cannotThe danger of waiting until you have every piece before you start buildingHow fitness can build competence and confidenceThe difference between perseverance and stubbornnessWhy fear often becomes smaller once you actually confront itThe importance of keeping promises to yourselfHow difficult physical challenges can expand your sense of what you're capable ofWhy passion and desire can create tremendous driveThe limitations of making “the best version of yourself” the ultimate goalFor the Christian, self-improvement is not the destination. It is a tool.Your body, health, strength, time, abilities, and opportunities have been entrusted to you by God. The goal isn't merely to become stronger, tougher, leaner, richer, or more impressive. The goal is to become increasingly capable of faithfully using what God has given you for His glory and the good of the people around you.So perhaps the question isn't simply:Am I getting better?Perhaps the better question is:Am I becoming more faithful?If you already know the next healthy step you need to take, take it. Go for the walk. Lift the weight. Prepare the meal. Get to bed. Make the change.You probably don't need the whole map before you begin.But as you become more capable, keep asking where that capability is ultimately pointed.Want to understand where you currently stand in your own health and stewardship?Take the Faithful Fitness Assessment and evaluate yourself across the four foundations of Integrity, Grit, Growth, and Awe.Start here: https://faithfulfitness.co/assessmentMake the most of the body God's given you.Train hard—but pray harder.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-with-coach-alex-vanhouten--5150768/support.

What if the Christian life isn't about becoming “good enough,” but learning to experience how deeply God already loves and delights in you?In this episode of Soul Sense, Mark sits down with Dr. Bill Senyard, author of Good Enough Christian, Good Enough Parent, and Before the Couch. Bill explores why Christians can believe the gospel intellectually yet struggle to actually experience God's love. Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, attachment theory, and decades of counseling and ministry, he discusses shame, trauma, the Holy Spirit, awe and wonder, parenting, marriage, and the “dancing Father.”If you've ever wondered whether you've repented enough, whether God is disappointed in you, or whether you're really “good enough,” this conversation offers a different way of seeing the gospel.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Introduction to Dr. Bill Senyard01:03 — Why “Good Enough” Christianity?02:41 — Seven Hindrances to Experiencing God's Love05:01 — Why We All Have “Daddy Issues”05:54 — The Forgotten Member of the Trinity: The Holy Spirit07:03 — How Our Brains Protect Us From Love09:20 — Experiencing God's Delight13:13 — The Prodigal Son & the Dancing Father15:24 — What We Miss About the Gospel16:42 — Awe, Wonder & the Mystery of God20:57 — Thomas, Doubt & Experiencing Jesus27:50 — The “Simple and Poetic Gospel”29:09 — A Prayer for Experiencing God's Love31:25 — The Power of the Gospel to Rewire Us33:29 — Experiencing Christ's Love in Marriage35:18 — The Father & Son Who Laugh and Dance36:33 — Does God's Delight Enable Sin?37:50 — The Holy Spirit's Role in Experiencing God's Love42:07 — Good Enough Parent & Helping Teens Know They Are Loved47:19 — Experiencing God's Delight in Marriage50:24 — Before the Couch: When Marriage Needs a Miracle51:53 — “God Does His Best Work With Dead Things”52:46 — Bill's Resources54:06 — Final Thoughts

Why does life sometimes feel better when there's no service?No notifications. No traffic. No endless scrolling. No climate-controlled room. No food showing up at your door.Just sunlight. Dirt. Cold water. Movement. Fire. Stars. Good food. Good people. And whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at you.In this solo episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce reflects on returning from time off the grid and explores a question that kept following him home:Have we made life so convenient that we've forgotten some of what makes us feel alive?This isn't an anti-technology episode. And it's definitely not Bryce telling everyone to sell their shit and move into the woods.

A Season of Rehearsal: Understanding the Fall Appointed Times This episode frames the fall feasts as God's appointed times (moedim)—holy convocations and rehearsals of His past, present, and future acts—and calls believers grafted into the commonwealth of Israel to align with His calendar. The group discusses Elul as a month of preparation marked by reflection, repentance, Psalm 27, and the daily shofar blast as the voice of God awakening the soul. The teaching centers on Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets), a day of rest, shofar sounding, and “remembering,” exploring what Scripture calls God's people to remember: His covenant, commandments, character, and the call to repent and obey. The conversation connects Trumpets to the Ten Days of Awe, Yom Kippur as a picture of atonement and coming judgment, and Sukkot as future joy and tabernacling with God, even into the millennial kingdom.

We hope that episode 242 will bless you in a big way.  We hope you join us as we recap the  holy fear of God in John Bevere's book, The Awe of God. Each chapter starts with a quote such as: “Men reverence one another, not yet God.” Henry David ThoreauKate's one word summary was humility and Sheila's was obedience. Both words heighten our awareness of God's holiness, which starkly contrasts with our deficiencies. This awareness can be a catalyst for becoming poor in spirit. When we realize that we are spiritually bankrupt we trust God and obey him.  Wasn't that King Saul's problem? He was prideful and did not trust or obey Him. He lacked a hold fear of God and this led to jealousy, anger, and impatience.James 4:8 tells us to “purify our hearts by embracing the fear of the Lord.”Psalms 112:1-2 “How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying His commands…”Let's discover the joyful bliss of this holy fear as we dive into The Awe of God! Blessings dear listeners! Thank you for joining in as we connect to reflect!

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Dr. Jeremy Pollack, a social-organizational psychologist and founder of Pollack Peacebuilding Systems, author of Wired for Peace: Using 7 Neuroscience-Based Principles to Resolve Conflicts. Jeremy looks at conflict through the lens of the brain and nervous system, which helps explain why disagreements escalate so quickly and why the fixes we reach for often make things worse. Andy and Jeremy talk about why de-escalation has to come before problem-solving, since solutions and stress do not mix. Jeremy walks us through his Sapien Model of six basic psychological needs, giving us a far more useful lens than labeling a stakeholder difficult, defensive, or resistant. You will hear how memory and prediction shape the way we read the person in front of us, what a team learns when its leader consistently avoids conflict, and why changing our experience of conflict requires new experiences, not just new beliefs. Jeremy also shares how this shows up at home, in marriage and parenting. If you're looking for a practical, evidence-based way to handle the conflicts that come with leading, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The most fruitful relationships from what I've seen at work, at home, et cetera, are those that can weather storms without the real fear of abandonment." "That was pretty interesting to me to see how much of the science is telling us that, like, our brain is mostly a predictive machine." "Anytime we're in an escalated or emotionally charged state, there's something going on in our brains, usually subconsciously, that's tracking a threat or an impediment to our basic needs." "It's de-escalate first because solutions and stress just don't mix." "What I'm feeling right now is not a result of what the person's saying. It's a result of the way my body is responding." "I call it an experiential thumbprint. It's completely unique to you and no one else has your nervous system, and you don't have anyone else's." "If we have a negative experience with someone and we go into a place of fear or pain or anger or something like that, the way that we see them going forward can change very, very quickly, and it's a lot harder to get us to unsee that." "We access memories in edit mode. And so after we retrieve it, and when we write it back, it's not always quite the same thing, and that's always made me question not is that memory correct as much as is it completely correct." "All conflict is an opportunity for learning." "The threat of abandonment is the big thing to really watch for when we're having arguments."

Interest rates are rising, long-term bond prices have pulled back, and investors are once again worried that higher Treasury yields could threaten the economy and markets. But what if today's rates aren't historically high at all? After more than a decade of near-zero rates and easy monetary policy, investors may have become accustomed to an environment that was anything but normal. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn put today's interest rates into historical perspective, examine what higher yields really say about inflation, growth, debt, and deficits, and explain why a 5% long-term Treasury yield may not be the crisis many headlines suggest. We'll also look at what the changing rate environment means for stocks, bonds, portfolio risk, and investors deciding whether weakness in longer-duration bonds is a warning—or an opportunity. 0:00 INTRO 1:04 - Weekly Preview & Treasury General Account Bond Buy Backs 2:04 - Shorting Treasuries & The Hedge Fund Trade 5:37 - Markets Going Thru a Slow-Motion Correction 8:24 - BitCoin Rallies on Bessent Announcement 11:52 - Bonds & Rates: Brake or Break? 19:08 - Rates Are Normal 21:56 - The Primary Determinants that Set Loan Rates (Economic Composite Index) 25:46 - The Effect of Debt on Economy 29:46 - The Negative Multiplier, Measured (Gov't.

What topic interests you? Leave me a voicemail. A meaningful life may be built on a quieter, more teachable state called the High Plateau Experience. This episode will address transcendence, including spirituality, psychology, meditation, and simply living with more awe and purpose.  Dr. Alexandra unpacks Abraham Maslow's original ideas about peak experiences, then moves into the lesser-known concept he explored near the end of his life - a more constant, serene way of perceiving the world as miraculous. Along the way, she shares the story of Maslow's own nighttime “peak experience,” the paper he chose not to present, and the profound shift in perspective that came after his confrontation with mortality.You'll discover:Why Maslow believed peak experiences are real, but shouldn't be pursued like a thrill rideHow self-transcendence in Paul Wong's model includes beauty, present-moment awareness, and service to othersWhat Maslow meant by “witnessing the world” and why he said we could “hold classes in the miraculous”The difference between a climactic peak experience and the steadier High Plateau ExperienceWhy joy, sadness, awe, and mortality can all coexist in the same momentHow meditation, spiritual practice, and meditative listening are linked to less anxiety, more meaning, and greater connectednessDr. Alexandra also brings in research and modern evidence, including studies on Lectio Divina, Dan Tomasulo's work (https://dantomasulo.com), and a 2021 Frontiers in Psychology paper on self-transcendence and adolescent mental health.  The result is a thoughtful, practical episode that connects Maslow's theory to real-life practices you can actually use. This is essential listening for those seeking grounded transcendence that doesn't depend on chasing extraordinary moments, but on learning how to live with openness, wonder, and purpose in ordinary life.Timestamps00:00 - This episode is dedicated to internationalforgiveness.com and Maslow's higher love 00:32 - What the high plateau experience is and how it differs from peak experiences 01:27 - Peak experiences as unforced moments of human transcendence 02:24 - Maslow's own peak experience before his memorial lecture 03:21 - Why Maslow chose the academic paper instead of his personal experience 03:50 - The impact of peak experiences on self-acceptance and openness 04:56 - Why Maslow warned against chasing peak experiences for their own sake 05:26 - The bodhisattva ideal and helping others after awakening 06:20 - Paul Wong's three levels of self-transcendence 07:12 - How Dr. Stanley Krippner helped preserve Maslow's final talk 08:47 - Maslow's shift into a more constant, mythic way of seeing 09:44 - Why the high plateau was more voluntary and teachable 10:49 - The plateau as witnessing the symbolic and miraculous in ordinary life 12:14 - Maslow's Brandeis vision of an eternal academic procession 13:54 - How the plateau compresses time, memory, and meaning 15:20 - The paradox of permanence, mortality, joy, and sadness 16:28 - Why we do not need to wait for peak experiences to live meaningfully 17:27 - Research on meditative listening, meaning, and well-being 18:34 - Dr. Dan Tomasulo's insights on spiritual practice and brain quieting 19:38 - Lisa Miller's MRI research on the spiritual brain 20:15 - A 2021 study on self-transcendence and adolescent mental health 21:40 - Closing reflections Notable quotes“Achieving the mystic's sense of cosmic unity can be tremendously uplifting, but such a state must always be balanced by action in the daily world.”Support the showThis show was created with love.  The following are seven ways you can support and encourage my efforts to create new content, from easiest to hardest: Press “follow” on the podcastPress “follow” on YouTube @alexandramillerclarkShare a helpful podcast episode with a friend Share a helpful YouTube episode with a friendLeave the podcast a rating on iTunesLeave the YouTube a rating on iTunesBuy me a coffee:  buymeacoffee.com/dralexandra

We shouldn't be seeking focus, we should be seeking reverence. Depth and fulfillment comes from awe. Our culture is obsessed with optimization, but that only disconnects us from our humanity. Focus keeps us. Reverence stops us in our tracks. Awe makes us more generous, loving, connected, patient, and abundant.Create space for awe by staying present and avoiding avoidance.

 What the Faithful 5K Proved: It's Time for the Body of Christ to Get in Shape“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus…” — Hebrews 12:1–2The inaugural Faithful 5K is over—but I don't think what happened in Greenbrier was really about running 3.1 miles.We had 165 people register, families running together, churches serving side by side, businesses investing in their community, volunteers pouring themselves out, and virtual racers participating across seven different states.And underneath all of it was something deeper:God is doing something in His Church that has to do with the body—both our physical bodies and the Body of Christ.In this episode, I'm taking a short break from the Menopause in the Light series to reflect on what the Faithful 5K taught me about fitness, faith, community, endurance, and why I believe it's time for the Bride of Christ to get in better shape.We'll talk about:Why people are hungry for something deeper than sets, reps, macros, and aestheticsWhat happened when multiple churches and Christian organizations chose to serve together without needing their own name at the centerWhy the Faithful Cross became one of the most meaningful parts of the morningWhat it means to recognize your body as something through which you live your callingWhy Christian fitness was never supposed to be an isolated pursuitThe unexpected power of an out-and-back race where runners continually encouraged one anotherWhy your body does not have to be impressive to glorify GodWhat this event reminded me about the mission of Faithful FitnessAnd I'll tell you about Mr. Roy.When we first started working together more than five years ago, Roy had battled heart disease, multiple surgeries, pain, and a body that made something as simple as walking my driveway difficult.Saturday, he finished a 5K.He finished last. He refused rides. Men went back onto the course to walk beside him. Police stayed with him. His family waited. Racers who had finished long before stayed at the finish line because they wanted to see him cross it.And when someone asked how he was able to keep going, his answer was basically:Get a good coach. Walk with God. And be stubborn enough not to stop.That'll preach.Because Hebrews doesn't tell us, “Let me run with endurance.” It says:“Let us run with endurance.”Maybe you're crushing it right now.Turn around and encourage somebody behind you. Maybe you're struggling. Keep going. But either way, stop trying to do this fitness thing alone.

Grit. Growth. Awe.The goal isn't a perfect score. It's clarity. And completing the assessment will also reserve your place for our upcoming LIVE Faithful Fitness seminar on September 2nd, where we'll continue this conversation together.Take the Faithful Fitness Assessment and find your next faithful step.

This week we have a slightly different kind of episode. We talk less about the mechanics of training and more about the benefits of using your fitness out in the world, specifically outdoors. We talk about environment, how the right gym or the mountains can pull effort out of you when your own motivation is low.The back half of the episode revisits the Misogi Challenge and the value of planning something with a real chance of failure, why hard physical challenges reframe everyday life, and how the pursuit of hard things changes from your twenties to thirties and forties. It closes on the big one, using your fitness to buy a longer and more capable lifespan, why your 30s are when the trajectory of your actions starts to show, and why 56 does not look so old looking forward from 44.Covered in this episodePushing a session to a day you can actually give it a better effortHow environment, the right gym or the mountains, pulls effort out of youThe carryover that lets you hike well even at a heavier body weightAwe as a real mechanism, and why noticing is the key wordDacher Keltner's book on the science of everyday wonderKeeping the mountains from ever becoming just another WednesdayRevisiting the misogi and planning something with a real chance of failureWhy hard physical challenges reframe everyday life as manageableHow the pursuit of hard things changes from 24 to 34 to 44Using your fitness for a longer, more capable lifespanWhy your 30s are when the trajectory of your actions starts to showMountains versus the ocean, and the wildlife you only see out thereTimestamps00:00:00 - Intro00:05:00 - You don't have to train every day to keep your fitness00:09:30 - Environment and how the right gym pulls effort out of you00:13:30 - The benefits of using your fitness outdoors00:16:30 - Awe as a mechanism, and Keltner's science of wonder00:20:00 - Revisiting the misogi and planning something hard00:24:30 - Doing hard things, and how that pursuit changes with age00:32:00 - Using your fitness for a longer, more capable lifespan Training hard, but don't look like it?

Dr. Ralph Adolphs, PhD, is a Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Biology at Caltech and a leading expert on the science of human emotions. We discuss how emotions shape our attention and decision-making, whether emotions are truly “stored” in the body, and whether facial expressions are truly reliable signals of emotion. We also cover tools for improving emotional regulation, including cognitive reappraisal and deliberate cold exposure. This episode provides a modern scientific explanation of how emotions are created and regulated in the brain and body, their many impacts on other aspects of brain function, and practical tools for improving emotional wellbeing and processing.

How do you find joy in suffering? That's one of the questions Christian Wiman explores in his poetry and his life.The former editor of Poetry magazine, Wiman is the author of seven books of poetry, including his latest, The Dance. He also teaches at Yale Divinity School. He's been called “the most important Christian writer in America,” though his relationship with God is marked by uncertainty as much as faith. That tension runs through his poetry, where mystical experience, doubt, suffering, and joy continually collide.His understanding of mortality is also shaped by a 20-year battle with cancer. Diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma and initially given only a few years to live, Wiman has come close to death several times. Yet he speaks about suffering not simply as something to endure, but as a strange territory in which beauty and wonder can sometimes be found.Wiman craves direct experiences of the world, but he finds that writing poetry helps him fully appreciate these fleeting moments of awe and wonder. A frosted hosta, an old candlestick, the trills of a red-winged blackbird—small encounters like these can open onto deeper questions about meaning, eternity, and what Wordsworth called “seeing into the life of things.”—00:00:00 Intro00:02:40 Poetry, Awe and Wonder00:15:10 Twenty Years Battling Cancer00:21:55 Joy in Suffering00:30:45 Seeing Into the Life of Things00:39:40 A Last Poem and Farewell—Links: Book: The Dance Book: Glimmerings: Letters on Faith Between a Poet and a Theologian Book: Zero at the Bone: Fifty Entries Against Despair Yale Divinity School website Profile of sculptor Lee Bontecou Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.
