Kara Birge has built a life with her husband, country artist George Birge on one simple philosophy: trust God and have fun through every season. From meeting at the University of Texas to early days flipping houses and working corporate jobs, to moving to Nashville for a record deal and starting over more than once, their journey has been full of faith, risk, and resilience. Through it all they’ve raised two boys, navigated the highs and challenges of the music business, and watched George score two No. 1 hits at country radio with “Mind On You” and “Cowboy Songs.” Now the adventure continues with a brand new collaboration with Luke Bryan “It Won’t Be Long,” proving that trusting the season and keeping fun at the center has been their secret weapon all along.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 2.91Narrative Juxtaposition: How the Bible Speaks Through Story Placement | Part 3In this episode of the Narrative Juxtaposition series, Michael and Zach explore one of the most unusual books in the prophetic collection: Jonah. Unlike the surrounding prophets filled with poetic oracles and covenant warnings, Jonah reads like a narrative filled with irony, humor, and uncomfortable reversals. The question quickly emerges: why is this story placed among the prophetic books at all?The episode argues that Jonah's placement is intentional. Rather than delivering extended prophetic speeches, the book exposes the heart of the prophet himself. The story unfolds as a series of moral reversals in which the pagan characters repeatedly respond to God more faithfully than the prophet who knows Him best.The pagan sailors in chapter one move from fear to reverence, praying to the Lord and offering sacrifices. The city of Nineveh responds to Jonah's brief warning with immediate repentance. Meanwhile Jonah resists God's call, avoids prayer, and ultimately becomes angry when God shows mercy.Through these narrative contrasts, the book critiques religious pride, exposes the danger of nationalistic theology, and reminds readers that God's compassion extends far beyond the boundaries His people might prefer. Jonah understands God's character—gracious, compassionate, and slow to anger—but he resents the implications of that mercy when it reaches Israel's enemies.By placing Jonah among the prophets, the Old Testament provides a powerful internal critique of prophetic pride and spiritual entitlement. Before Israel hears judgment against the nations, the story forces God's people to confront their own resistance to the global scope of God's mercy.The episode concludes by tracing the larger biblical trajectory. Jesus later identifies Himself as greater than Jonah, embodying the opposite posture: running toward sinners, embracing suffering, and rejoicing in repentance. The story ultimately challenges readers to ask whether their theology fuels compassion and mission—or quietly resists the wideness of God's mercy.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/9dcsWOwGRC0Merch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Has your teenage self ever felt like you're a different person depending on who you're around? Laughing at things you don't find funny… changing how you speak, dress, or act just to fit in. The pressure to belong can quietly reshape who you are. But a Muslim's identity was never meant to be built by the crowd. In a world constantly telling you who to be, Islam anchors your identity in something far stronger.  This episode explores the pressure of fitting in, the power of friendship, and why the strongest identity a young Muslim can have is the one rooted in Iman. Because when your roots are strong, no trend, crowd, or opinion can shake who you truly are.

Isaiah 61:10-11I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God,for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.11 For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up,so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.

Jonnie Park was born in Argentina to Korean parents, crossed the US-Mexico border undocumented at age three, carried by a mother with two toddlers and nothing but courage, and grew up in Koreatown, Los Angeles, caught between Korean, Latino, and Black American culture. He became one of the only Asian battle rappers in history to gain mainstream notoriety, starred in Run DMC, appeared in Awkafina is Nora from Queens, voiced a character in Raya and the Last Dragon, and now he's written a memoir, Spit: A Life in Battles, which drops on April 14th. In this episode, Jonnie and Sadia get into what it actually felt like to step into a battle rap circle surrounded by hundreds of people, how hip hop taught him to be unapologetically Asian, the complicated relationship with his father that he had to write about first before anything else, and why immigrants, including his mother, built the best parts of America. This episode covers: undocumented immigration, Korean American identity, battle rap culture, cultural appropriation vs. appreciation, Asian American representation in Hollywood, memoir writing, and generational trauma.

This special episode is an inside look at AI music from three very different vantage points: the builder, the investor, and the industry insider.Andreas is joined by Sundar Arvind, CEO & Co-Founder at Mozart AI, building a collaborative generative audio workstation; Daniel Waterhouse, General Partner at Balderton Capital; and Ash Pournouri, Co-Founder of Belong, entrepreneur, producer, and former manager of Avicii.Together, they unpack how AI is reshaping music creation, how serious investors underwrite risk in a litigious industry, why “one-click songs” miss the point, and whether AI expands creativity or commoditizes it.If you want a grounded view of where the real fault lines are — rights, training data, authorship, collaboration, and the psychology of creativity — this is it.ShareWhat's covered:00:40 Mozart AI's vision: a collaborative generative audio workstation05:10 DAWs, EDM, and why tech has always expanded music creation06:35 Why “one-prompt songs” optimise for quantity, not craft09:20 Underwriting AI music: how VCs think about billion-dollar incumbents13:00 Is this a new instrument or a 100x larger market?18:45 Are professional artists already using AI tools?21:00 Copyright, training data, and legal diligence in AI music25:15 Philosophically: what are “rights” when machines learn from music?33:40 Diffusion models explained simply: how AI generates sound36:30 The return of the band?

Students today are encountering global events in real time. News about protests, war, political instability, and humanitarian crises travels quickly through social media, and many young people are trying to make sense of it all without much context. In this episode of Our Classroom, Roberto Germán explores how educators can approach conversations about global unrest with care and clarity. Instead of avoiding difficult topics, Roberto shares three practical strategies teachers can use to help students process complex world events while maintaining a classroom culture rooted in curiosity, empathy, and critical thinking. This episode offers a reminder that educators don't need to have all the answers—but they can help students ask better questions. Reflection Questions for Educators What global events are your students currently talking about? How can you create space for questions without turning the classroom into a debate stage? What strategies help students move from reaction to understanding? An Invitation Teach in Truth. Lead with Courage. Belong to a Community That Gets It. Join My Classroom Gold — a community of educators committed to equity, truth, and impact.

The Buddha taught a path of awakened living, but how does that manifest in today's world of constant connectivity and widespread suffering?How do we keep our hearts open without being defined or hardened by the pain that surrounds us, whether personal, collective, or historical? How do we navigate the paradox of holding both pain and joy, without mistaking suffering for punishment or personal failure? Can we infuse our compassion with wisdom and perspective to find the agency to take meaningful action in our communities? In her new series, Engaged Compassion, Sharon delves into these questions and more, engaging in candid conversations with a diverse group of teachers, activists, and changemakers. For the inaugural episode, Sharon's speaks with longtime friend and colleague, Jerry Colonna—a renowned coach, writer, and speaker who specializes in leadership, business, and the practice of radical self-inquiry. Jerry is the Co-founder and CEO of Reboot.io, a company inspired by the belief that work need not destroy us. He is also the author of two books: "Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up" (2019) and "Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong" (2023). For more than two decades, Jerry has championed the idea that work should be non-violent to the self, the community, and the planet. This marks his third appearance on the Metta Hour Podcast.In this conversation, Sharon and Jerry speak about:Suffering and the end of sufferingThe Four Noble TruthsSara Bareilles and Gavin CreelHolding many things at onceWhere resilience comes fromHow generosity can appear in extreme lossJerry's time in India after an earthquakeThe dynamics of hope and fearHow we actually “get over loss”Misunderstanding karmaControl veiled as “magical thinking”How unworthiness leads to isolationCompassion is not hierarchicalThe Dalai Lama winning a GrammySuffering versus Extra SufferingFacing our helplessnessThe fixation with fixing thingsFinding fuel for the long haulFacing our nihilismAdditional ResourcesYou can learn more about Jerry's work and his organization Reboot.io right here.

Hosts: Renee Chiuchiarelli & Julie Parks Length: ~15 minutes Format: Simply Trade Tips Episode Summary Welcome to Series 6 of Simply Trade Tips. This series tackles a foundational — and often overlooked — issue in global trade: Where does Customs actually sit inside your organization? In this opening episode, Renee and Julie lay the groundwork by breaking down the three most common organizational structures and how each one impacts customs operations, compliance authority, budgeting, and risk management. Because here's the truth: Customs rarely fails because people don't care. It fails because it's structurally misaligned. This episode sets the foundation for understanding how org structure dictates decision-making, funding, escalation paths, and ultimately — compliance outcomes. Why Org Structure Matters for Customs Customs sits in the middle of everything: Procurement Finance Logistics Legal Tax Sales & contracts Export operations Yet it rarely “owns” all the decisions that affect it. That misalignment can create compliance gaps, conflicting priorities, and operational tension between speed and governance. Follow the money. Follow the reporting lines. That's where risk lives. The Three Core Organizational Structures 1️⃣ Centralized (Functional) Structure Definition: Departments operate in defined lanes (Supply Chain, Finance, Legal, Sales), each with its own leadership. Where Customs Usually Sits: Under Supply Chain Under Legal Occasionally under a dedicated Trade Compliance function Upside: Clear ownership Defined reporting line Often its own budget (if structured well) Downside: Under Supply Chain → can become overly execution-focused (velocity & cost driven) Under Legal → can become overly compliance-focused and disconnected from operations If no independent budget → strategy becomes fragmented Key theme: Budget authority drives strategic control. 2️⃣ Decentralized (Divisional) Structure Definition: Trade responsibilities are spread across business units, regions, or product lines. Each division may manage its own customs activity. Upside: Faster decision-making Direct access to business leaders Local agility Downside: Inconsistent processes across divisions Requires corporate oversight or council to maintain standards Heavy reliance on influence rather than authority This model works — but it requires strong coordination and governance discipline. 3️⃣ Matrix (Hybrid) Structure Definition: Dual reporting lines — often operationally to Supply Chain, dotted line to Legal, Tax, or Finance. This is where many global organizations land. Reality of the Matrix: Multiple “bosses” Consensus-driven decisions Speed vs. compliance tension Performance reviews may not align with dotted-line accountability Success in a matrix requires: Clear budget ownership Clear escalation paths Strong consensus-building skills Mature leadership alignment Without alignment, it becomes a tug-of-war between execution and governance. Customs Operations vs. Customs Compliance A critical distinction discussed in this episode: Customs Operations: Entry filings ACE submissions Broker management Day-to-day problem solving Customs Compliance: Classification governance Valuation methodology Origin policy Audit strategy Risk tolerance Julie and Renee strongly advocate for structural separation of these roles — even in small teams. Why? Operations finds errors. Compliance fixes root causes. Both must cross-communicate consistently. When they don't align, friction, inefficiency, and risk increase. Real-World Red Flags Renee and Julie call out four common structural warning signs:

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. You Belong to Another Romans 6:1-6Special Guest: Sam Powers.

In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of Satya, or truthfulness, again. Join me for a few minutes to explore the delicate balance between the need to belong and the need to grow, which is another of Deborah Adele's insights from The Yamas and Niyamas.In this episode, I talk about the difficulty of living authentically, the psychological research on belonging, and how we often sabotage our own truth to fit in. Drawing on wisdom from various traditions—including yoga, Buddhism, and modern therapy—let's discuss practical strategies to connect with our true selves without sacrificing our relationships.

A new MP3 sermon from Covenant Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Bought to Belong Subtitle: Ephesians Speaker: Pastor Charles Swann Broadcaster: Covenant Baptist Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 3/1/2026 Bible: Ephesians 1:7 Length: 56 min.

This episode is part 2 of 2 addressing a video from Dan McClellan called "Was 1 Enoch considered inspired scripture?"Dan McClellan claims to be a Latter-day Saint, although his views don't reflect those of typical Mormons. He has impressive credentials and he uses them to make Tiktok and YouTube videos that promote a deconstructionist view of Scripture under the guise of "Data > dogma." He also promotes leftist political ideas that are uniformly Marxist and identity politics.This episode reviews a bit then looks at McClellan's arguments for why 1 Enoch is behind the New Testament doctrines of demons and hell. We look at possible explanations for Jude 1:14-15 quoting 1 Enoch 1:9. Then, we examine McClellan's claim that Jesus' statement "I saw Satan as lightning fall from heaven" was likely a reference to the "animal apocalypse" vision in 1 Enoch chapters 86-90. We then see examples in the New Testament where eschatology comes from Daniel rather than 1 Enoch.Sources Cited:Dan McClellan, "Was 1 Enoch considered inspired scripture?"Dan McClellan, YHWH's Divine Images: A Cognitive Approach, (SBL Press, Atlanta, 2022).Flavius Josephus, Against Apion (Translated by William Whiston)First Enoch (Christian Classics Ethereal Library)Targum Jonathan on Isaiah 66:24, Sefaria.org.Judith 16 (NSRVUE), BibleGateway.org."Aratus, Phaenomena," theoi.com."Cleanthes' Hymn to Zeus," hellenion.org.We value your feedback!Have questions for Truthspresso?

Shame is the abuser's final weapon — and it's the one that keeps working long after they're gone. Shame for staying. Shame for not seeing it sooner. Shame for what you tolerated. Shame for needing help. That internal voice telling you you're weak, stupid, broken — that's not your voice. It was installed by someone who needed you to believe you were the problem.Put it down. Not all at once. Piece by piece.The final episode of our coercive control series is about what true crime coverage never touches: healing. The identity you excavate after someone dismantled it. The shame you learn to put down. The boundaries you rebuild after years of being punished for having them. The therapist who gets it and the waitlist that keeps you from finding one. And the community of survivors carrying the same silence you are — people who look at you and say "I know," and that two-word sentence does more than a year of advice from someone who hasn't been there.Monique Tepe built something extraordinary while carrying years of alleged fear. She chose Spencer. She chose parenthood. She chose joy. This episode honors what she built — and speaks to everyone still building.You are not what happened to you. You are what you build after.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

JP had chicken parm for dinner last night and it came with mashed potatoes on the side. Should that be legal?

Do you feel lonely even when you're surrounded by people? Do you crave deep connection but don't know where to find it? Do you want a “village”… but you're exhausted from trying to build one? Maybe you've been hurt by church. Maybe you've tried small groups and still feel unseen. Maybe you're longing for community but don't even know where to begin. In today's episode, we continue the conversation about creating a village by talking honestly about the role of the local church—why it matters, why it's hard, and how God designed it to be part of your healing and flourishing. This episode is for the woman who: Feels isolated and disconnected in this season of life Wants meaningful relationships but keeps hitting walls Has been burned by church and doesn't know how to try again Keeps hoping community will “just happen” but feels stuck Is tired of doing life alone We talk about: Why our culture makes building real community harder than ever The difference between attending church and being planted How church-hopping and isolation keep us stuck in shallow connection Why healing from church hurt doesn't mean abandoning God's design What it actually looks like to create a village over time Practical next steps for finding and committing to a life-giving church Why serving and small groups matter more than Sunday mornings alone This is not a “find perfect people” episode. This is a stay, grow, and build something real episode. If you've been praying for community but haven't wanted to risk disappointment again, this conversation will gently challenge you—and give you a clearer path forward. You don't need a perfect church. You don't need instant friendships. You need roots. And this episode will help you start planting them. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

The fastest way to experience stepmom burnout from trying to prove she belongs? Over-functioning in a family that was already functioning before you arrived. High-capacity stepmoms don't come in weak. They come in capable. Responsible. Strong. And quietly determined to earn their seat at the table. But what happens when proving your worth slowly turns into resentment… exhaustion… and losing yourself? In this I chat with decision coach and author Jessica Frew to unpack how stepmom burnout from trying to prove she belongs nearly cost Jessica her marriage - and how setting one boundary at a time changed everything. Jessica shares her powerful blended family story, including why she left her marriage one year in… and what brought her back with a completely different mindset.

In Today's Episode, We're Talking About: Why stepmom burnout from trying to prove she belongs is so common The emotional cost of over-functioning in a blended family Why you are not the main character in your stepkids' story - and why that's freeing The subtle ways resentment builds when you sacrifice yourself to prove your value How to set one boundary at a time without blowing up your marriage The difference between strength and self-abandonment This episode isn't about walking away.

What if the loss you're carrying doesn't have a name — no death, no disaster, just a quiet, persistent ache that something was always missing? In this episode of Joy Lab, we'll look at Gate Four of our grief series: What We Expected But Did Not Receive. Drawing from Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow, we'll explore the grief that comes from never being fully welcomed, seen, or celebrated for exactly who you are — a loss so subtle it often masquerades as personal failure. This episode offers a deeply compassionate and scientifically grounded look at why so many of us feel vaguely unfulfilled and how we can actually do something about it. Spoiler: it starts with grieving what you were owed. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

At first, the house felt normal. Not old. Not creepy. Just a typical suburban home where nothing should have stood out. But the longer you spent there, the more small things began to feel slightly off.Voices sounded where no one should have been. Movement appeared where walls made it impossible. Familiar people showed up in places they couldn't logically occupy—sometimes more than once at the same time. None of it felt aggressive. Nothing ever escalated. That almost made it worse.The moments didn't announce themselves as frightening. They arrived quietly, slipped into ordinary routines, and left behind confusion instead of panic. The kind that makes you replay what you saw long after the moment has passed#TrueGhostStories #UnexplainedEncounters #Mimicry #ParanormalPodcast #CreepyButQuiet #UnseenPresence #RealParanormal #SubtleHaunting #SomethingWasThereLove real ghost stories?

Jinger Duggar Vuolo grew up in front of millions of viewers on 19 Kids and Counting, raised inside a tightly controlled religious subculture that promised certainty, safety, and success if you followed the rules exactly right. In this deeply honest conversation, Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo sit down with Ginny Yurich to talk about what it actually took to separate the truth of Jesus from a system built on fear, performance, and man-made expectations. They discuss growing up under public scrutiny, the exhaustion of people-pleasing, the stress of trying to get every decision “right,” and the courage it takes to question teachings that once defined your entire world. This episode is about freedom. It's about what happens when faith becomes personal instead of performative and when belonging replaces approval-seeking.

The Library of Congress has revealed the latest works to be entered into the National Film Registry. Mike shares what 25 films made the cut and why he is surprised to find that many American classics still have not been added. He shares his Top 10 Movies that should be considered in the next class of films. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Send Help starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brian. It’s about a woman and her overbearing boss who become stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it's a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive. Mike shares why he thinks Sam Raimi movies might be misunderstood, why non-horror like Kelsey might enjoy it, why Rachel McAdams stepped away from Hollywood and the Spider-Man 4 movie we were robbed of. In the Trailer Park, Mike breaks down The Devil Wears Prada 2 that offers our first real look at where the characters are now, nearly two decades after “Runway” magazine first ruled their lives. Will it be the best No. 2 movie of the year? New Episodes Every Monday!
