In this episode, I sit down with educator and parent Sharon Schwarz to talk about what children need to become capable, confident adults. We explore authoritative parenting, the value of routines and clear expectations, how screens can affect play and communication, and why warmth, accountability, and age-appropriate responsibility can help children feel secure and prepared for life. - - - - - About the Guest: Sharon Schwarz is an award-winning middle school teacher, parenting educator, and content creator with more than 24 years of experience working with children and families. After decades in the classroom, she saw a growing disconnect between modern parenting advice and what children need to become capable, resilient, and emotionally healthy. Through her work, Sharon helps parents embrace an authoritative approach that combines deep connection with clear expectations, healthy boundaries, and age-appropriate responsibility. By blending developmental science, classroom experience, and practical strategies, she gives families a more balanced framework for raising confident, capable children. - - - - - Social Handles: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrssharonschwarz/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/mrssharonschwarz/ - - - - - Connect My Child's Brain Website: https://www.connectmybrain.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/connect.my.brain/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/connectmybrain Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@drlaurahanson - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

In Week 4 of our Good News series, Pastor Jason Britt dives into 1 Corinthians 5 and 6 to address biblical sexual ethics and identity in Christ. Comparing and contrasting ancient Corinth and modern culture, the sermon exposes the flawed belief that bodily actions carry no spiritual weight. Rather than approaching the topic with shame or behavior modification, the message delivers gospel clarity: our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, bought with an unthinkable price, and designed to honor God.
Dustin Maddox continues our current series with a sermon from Mark 2:13-17.
We live in a digital world, so it seems sensible that classrooms should reflect that. But more and more research is suggesting that screen time at school with educational technology can come at the expense of concentration, memory and deep thinking. Dr Jared Cooney Horvath is a former teacher turned neuroscientist who wants us to reconsider how much technology we put between children and learning. His updated book takes aim at the billion-dollar EdTech industry and makes the case for putting learning rather than technology at the centre of the classroom. It's called The Digital Delusion: How Classroom Technology Harms Our Kids' Learning and How to Help Them Thrive Again.
You might be in the right place. You're just not sure it's enough of a place. It doesn't look like much from the outside. Nobody's watching. Nobody's applauding. It's not the position you pictured when you said yes to God. And every time you scroll through someone else's highlight reel, your place feels smaller and smaller. But Christine Caine has a word for anyone who has ever felt overlooked, underplaced, or tempted to leave, and it comes straight from 1 Corinthians 12. In episode four of A Life Unleashed series, Christine Caine opens Paul's body of Christ metaphor and makes the case that where God sets you is never accidental and what you do there is never invisible, no matter how unseen it feels. In this episode, Christine Caine walks through 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 to show that the church is not a platform system where visibility equals significance. It is a body where every ligament, every unseen muscle, every hidden part is indispensable, and where one displaced part causes the whole body to limp. She makes the case that a gift displayed outside the body has no ultimate purpose, that God doesn't need a marketing plan to find you — He goes to the place He assigned you — and that the church today is spiritually limping because too many people have either abandoned their place or are devaluing the place they're in. The takeaway that will anchor you: if you don't embrace your place, you will always feel displaced. And when God sets you in place, you cannot be displaced and you cannot be replaced. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ How do I stay faithful in a place that feels small, invisible, or beneath what I feel called to? ✅ Why does it feel like God is using everyone else more than He's using me? ✅ Is it okay to leave where I am for something that looks like a better opportunity? ✅ What if I've been in this season longer than I thought I would be? Does that mean God has forgotten me? ✅ How do I know if I'm in the right place or if I should be somewhere else? ✅ Does what I do behind the scenes actually matter if no one ever sees it? ✅ How do I stop comparing my place to someone else's position? …then this is your episode.
What is justice according to the Bible—and who gets to define it? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing argues that justice does not begin with politics, social media, slogans, or cultural movements, but with the character of God Himself.Walking through Deuteronomy 32, Micah 6, Leviticus 19, Proverbs 17, Ecclesiastes 8, Romans 13, Matthew 18, and the cross of Christ, Cory shows that biblical justice is impartial, truthful, merciful, humble, and rooted in God’s holiness.Christians are called to reject partiality, protect the vulnerable, tell the truth, confront evil, pursue restoration, and trust the righteous Judge who will ultimately set all things right.

Even when we feel like we are successfully navigating life, every one of us still has critical blind spots that we simply cannot see on our own. This message looks beyond surface-level "niceness" to show why real, lasting growth requires inviting trusted people into our passenger seat to tell us the honest truth. Discover how building a deep, supportive community isn't about harsh judgment, but about having people who care enough to help you navigate the road ahead.
Thanks for listening today, friends! Today we've got an inspirational episode with Jessica McBride on Motherhood, Belief & Becoming a Team Canada Ultrarunner.The core question we explore-what happens when you stop letting other people decide who you're allowed to become?Jessica was once the kid whose gym teacher made fun of the way she ran.Years later, after three kids, a huge identity shift, and one very important question later, she started running anyway. That question? Which things I believe about myself are actually someone else's property? We all know that moderation is overrated, so naturally, her first race was a marathon. Then came a 50-miler.Which landed her on the podium.Then a DNF that actually helped her understand what kind of runner she was.Then baby #4, the very real fear that her best athletic years might already be behind her……and eventually, Team Canada.

What if being successful, religious, or considered a good person still isn't the same as truly knowing Jesus? In this Welcome Night message from Luke 19:1–10, Pastor Tanner explores the story of Zacchaeus, a wealthy and influential man who only wanted to catch a glimpse of Jesus. But before Zacchaeus could reach Jesus, Jesus stopped, called him by name, and transformed his life. Whether you've followed Jesus for years, inherited your faith from your family, or are simply curious about who He is, this message offers a powerful reminder: you may have come looking for Jesus, but Jesus came seeking you. #ChristianSermon #JesusSaves #CollegeMinistry #Luke19 #ChiAlpha

A Church I Want to Belong To | Acts 2:42–47During Family Worship today, we looked at the early church in Acts 2 and saw a beautiful picture of what the church is called to be.The early believers were devoted. They committed themselves to the teaching of God's Word, to genuine fellowship with one another, and to prayer. These weren't simply activities they attended; they were priorities that shaped their lives together.As they lived with this kind of devotion, they experienced the presence of God among them. Their belief in Jesus changed the way they viewed the here and now. The Gospel transformed their priorities, their relationships, and the way they cared for one another, bringing them into a deep unity as the body of Christ.And that kind of church was attractive to the world around them. People could see that something was different. Their love for Jesus was evident in their love for one another, and God used their faithfulness to draw others to Himself.May we be a church devoted to God's Word, committed to one another, faithful in prayer, and living in such a way that those around us see Jesus through us.

When a group of athletes starts making poor choices, creating cliques, becoming negative, or separating themselves from the rest of the team, you may be looking at more than a discipline problem.You may have a belonging problem.In this episode, Edward Jones II continues the Belonging portion of the BEYOND Player Development Framework by breaking down the warning signs that athletes are becoming disconnected from the program.Edward shares the story of a freshman class that struggled during its first weeks on campus. After being heavily recruited and constantly contacted by coaches, the newcomers arrived and quickly felt like the program had moved on to recruiting the next class.That disconnect started showing up in their actions.The solution was not simply more discipline. Edward and the program strengthened their Big Brother system, established clear expectations for veteran players, and created consistent check-ins between newcomers and established members of the team.Edward also discusses another common belonging challenge: athletes who are not traveling or playing significant roles.When athletes begin thinking in terms of "them versus us," leaders need to pay attention.In this episode, you'll learn how to recognize warning signs such as:• Groups consistently making poor choices together• Cliques developing within the team• Negative comments from disconnected athletes• Non-travel or scout-team players separating themselves from the program• Newcomers feeling forgotten after the recruiting process ends• Athletes believing attention and value are reserved for starters• Influential players pulling others toward a negative team cultureThe goal is not to eliminate every bad decision. Athletes will still make individual choices.The goal is to recognize when repeated behaviors are revealing something deeper about the athlete experience.Sometimes what looks like a behavior problem is actually a belonging problem.Find the disconnect.Address it early.Remind athletes that they are seen, valued, heard, and necessary to the success of the program.This episode is part of the Belonging series within the BEYOND Player Development Framework:B: BelongingE: EducationY: Your PurposeO: OpportunitiesN: NavigationD: Development SystemsTo learn more about the BEYOND Player Development Framework or bring Edward Jones II in to work with your program, complete the BEYOND Framework Assessment using the link in the episode notes.Developing People.

EVEN MORE about this episode!Have you ever had a gut feeling you ignored—only to realize later that your intuition was right all along? What if that first quiet knowing isn't random, but information your soul is already receiving?Julie Ryan sits down with spiritual teacher, intuitive healer, and Akashic Record reader Inga Kastrone to explore how intuition really works, why it often speaks before the thinking mind takes over, and what can happen when we stop second-guessing what we already know.Inga describes intuition as access to a much larger energetic field connecting us with the subconscious mind, ancestral patterns, the body, and our soul's purpose. Together, Julie and Inga explore why trauma and conditioning can disconnect us from that inner knowing—and how we can begin rebuilding trust in ourselves.Inga's own awakening took an extraordinary path. Raised in Soviet Latvia without a spiritual upbringing, she pursued an academic career in international migration law before an unmistakable intuitive message told her to go to New Orleans. During a late-night ghost tour, an encounter with a voodoo priestess became part of a spiritual turning point that eventually led Inga into Reiki, the Akashic Records, energy healing, and the work she practices today.Julie and Inga also explore Harmonic Reconnection, Inga's approach to restoring harmony after trauma and disconnection; ancestral biofields; the imaginal realm; Egyptian goddess archetypes; and what it means to become fully present in your body while remaining connected to Spirit.Most importantly, this conversation asks a question that may change how you respond the next time that quiet voice speaks:What if you don't need more answers—what if you need to trust the answer you received first?If you've ever struggled to tell the difference between intuition and fear, doubted a gut feeling, ignored an inner knowing, or wondered how to reconnect with your spiritual guidance, this episode is for you.Guest Biography:Inga Kastrone, MA, MPhil, is an energy therapist, intuitive healer, Akashic Record reader, and sacred dance teacher based on the Mediterranean island of Gozo. For more than a decade, she has worked with advanced and sensitive souls seeking a deeper sense of wholeness, embodiment, and belonging, drawing on the subconscious mind, imaginal realm, and ancestral patterns. Her search for a more grounded bridge between the spiritual and physical worlds led her to develop Harmonic Reconnection, a holistic healing modality designed to help people reconnect with themselves, live from the soul, and move through life in greater harmony with the universe.Episode Chapters:(0:00:00) Welcome & Introduction(0:01:44) Has Your Intuition Been Right All Along?(0:05:45) Why We Learn to Ignore Our Intuition(0:09:36) Intuition vs. Ego: Which Voice Are You Hearing?(0:10:47) Ancestral Energy & the Akashic Records(0:18:53) Can Healing the Present Change the Past?(0:21:14) Healing Trauma Through the Imaginal Realm(0:24:28) Can the Body Hold Ancestral Memories?(0:31:39) The Body, Intuition & the Divine Feminine(0:40:52) How Spiritual Archetypes Can Help Us Heal(0:47:49) Why Sensitive Souls Feel They Don't Belong(0:53:27) What Is Harmonic Reconnection?(0:56:18) How Inga Was Called to Spiritual Work(0:59:44) The Ghost Tour That Changed Everything(1:03:33) Can Trees & Places Hold Energetic Memories?(1:11:32) A Message From Her Father's Spirit(1:11:33) How to Start Trusting Your Intuition(1:13:21) The “My Soul, I See You” Exercise(1:13:26) Why Do We Incarnate?➡️ Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️ Julie's Intuitive Trainings✏️ Ask Julie a Question!

Ever feel like you don't belong anywhere — known by everyone, actually seen by no one? This message kicks off a new series in Philippians about what real belonging takes, and why the thing most of us want is also the thing we're most afraid of: being fully known. Paul wrote the book of Philippians from a prison cell, cut off from the people he loved — and yet he'd never felt more connected to them. That's the surprise at the heart of this message: belonging was never about proximity. It's about being known. Misha walks through Philippians 1 and the honest tension underneath our need to belong — the labels and names we carry, the exhausting work of keeping up an image, and the new identity Jesus offers that you don't have to earn or perform for. If you've been holding people at a distance because being known feels risky, this is for you.Support the show

If you had an emergency at 3:00 a.m., who is the first person you would actually call? In a world where we constantly curate our lives to be admired rather than truly known, this message explores why we hide behind "perfect" feeds and how we can build genuine, unfiltered relationships. Discover how overcoming the fear of being "found out" is the exact key to experiencing real love and finding a community that actually stays.
What if the biggest thing standing between you and your next opportunity is the decision to reject yourself before anyone else can? Leadership expert and bestselling author Selena Rezvani joins Kwame Christian to explore what it really takes to advocate for yourself, take bigger swings, and keep moving when fear, perfectionism, or self-doubt tells you to play it safe. Selena shares the bold ask that changed the course of her college years, the career rejection she turned into an unexpected opportunity, and why high achievers need to stop tying their worth to their accomplishments. They also unpack the power of a “win or learn” mindset, giving yourself permission to be a beginner, leading with vulnerability, building psychological safety, handling criticism, and showing up as your authentic self. If you've been waiting until you feel confident, qualified, or completely ready to make your move, this conversation is your reminder: take the shot anyway.

Send us Fan MailMost of us treat leadership as a work word. It often lives in org charts and job titles and belongs to whoever has the bigger office. I believed that too for a long time.What I now know is that leadership starts on the inside. It shows up first in how I meet my own pressure, my own fear, my own wanting. Everything else grows from there.This episode opens a new series on leading at work and at home. I walk through the styles we will explore this season, such as servant, transformational, situational, and others, and why the one that works depends on where you and the people you lead actually are. I get into psychological safety and what it takes to build a place where people will tell the truth. And I make the case that none of it holds without belonging, which is where we are headed next.If you lead anyone, including yourself, start here.In this episode:Why leadership is an inside job before it is anything elseThe styles we will explore this season, and why no single one winsPsychological safety, and what it actually takes to build itBelonging as the ground all of this rests onPeople and ideas I mention, if you want to go deeper– Robert Greenleaf on servant leadership, from his 1970 essay “The Servant as Leader”: greenleaf.org– Amy Edmondson's foundational 1999 study on psychological safety: doi.org/10.2307/2666999– Roy Baumeister and Mark Leary, “The Need to Belong” (1995), on belonging as a basic human drive: doi.org/10.1037/0033-2909.117.3.497– Brené Brown on true belonging versus fitting in, from Braving the Wilderness: brenebrown.com– Arthur Brooks on connection and happiness, from Build the Life You Want and his Atlantic column: arthurbrooks.com– On transformational leadership and the four I's: James MacGregor Burns, Leadership (1978), and the later work of Bernard M.

Following Jesus was never meant to be an isolated experience. In Acts 2:42-47, the early believers shared their devotion to Jesus, their resources, their lives, and their witness with one another. Their example shows us that the Church is more than a gathering we attend. It is a family in which we learn together, pray together, care for one another, and point others to Jesus. Following Jesus means sharing life with His people. The post Belong to the Church | Pathways first appeared on Cornerstone Church.

Do you ever wonder ig God sees you? Do you wonder whether you matter? Maybe you look successful on the outside but still carry the feeling that you're an outsider, that you lack purpose or that something in your past disqualifies you from being fully known and loved. In Acts 8:26-40, we read about a traveller who was searching for God. He had wealth, influence and success, but he was still asking a deeper question: “Do I belong?” Then Philip enters the story and unveils something incredible: the man thought he was seeking God, but God was actually seeking him. Pastor Kevin Queen walks through this powerful story and reminds us that Jesus came for the one. God sees the people others overlook, pursues the people who feel far away and gives us a place in His family. What has happened to you is not the end of your story. And if you've already been found by Jesus, the question becomes: Are you willing to take the next step and join Him in finding the one?– – – – – – – What stood out to you from this message?

Brick Lombardi is back on Tundra FM with four fresh cuts from the green-and-gold songbook. We open cold and mean with "Suck It," a boot-stomp division taunt for a team that refuses to flinch. Then "Where I Belong" goes big and sincere — alternative metal where team loyalty and flag loyalty turn out to be the same thing. We slow it down for "Smooth Audibles," a chipmunk-soul spring postcard about roster surgery made to sound easy. And we close with "The Punishment Was Me," a chain-gang blues about a certain corner hunting for somebody to blame and running out of suspects. Four songs, one host, zero hype. Go Pack Go.
