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.

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?

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.

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?

In 2015, I was invited into a home because something didn't feel right.The renovation had already been completed. The kitchen was brand new. Modern. Crisp. Completely aligned with what the industry was promoting at the time.But the homeowners couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.They weren't asking for a kitchen review. They were asking why their home no longer felt cohesive.In this episode, I unpack what was really happening — how a space can be perfectly on trend and still disrupt the flow, warmth, and identity of a home.We explore:The design cycle from the warm interiors of the late 90s and early 2000s to the stark white eraThe cultural shift influenced by designers like Shea and Syd McGee of Studio McGeeWhy trend awareness is different from thoughtful interpretationHow materials, metals, and colour shifts can elevate — or interrupt — a homeAnd what designers can do to evolve a space without losing its core identityThis isn't about trend forecasting for 2026.It's about cohesion, context, and designing homes that feel integrated — not interrupted.Because sometimes a room can be technically “right” and still not belong.If this episode raised questions for you, or you're feeling stuck in your solo design business, you don't have to figure it out on your own.I offer a 30-minute clarity session where we can talk through where you're at, what's getting in the way, and whether I can help.Email me at askadam@turnkeydesignsuccess.com

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.

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. If you're a high-functioning stepmom who feels like you're carrying everyone's emotional weight, are afraid to look "selfish" by setting boundaries, or are just quietly questioning whether you can keep doing this…then this episode will help you finally put language to what you've been living. 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. It's about walking back to yourself. Because protecting your peace isn't selfish - it's foundational. If you've been trying to earn your place instead of simply standing in it, this conversation will help you reset.

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.

Hello to you listening in Olympia, Washington! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. I am a storyteller of the old school. What do I mean? For over 30 years I've taught (and continue to teach) my clients and students the same thing: “Put down the paper and nobody gets hurt!” Why? Because storytellers have something to say that comes from their aliveness, which is what people most want to feel and connect with. Sharing our stories out loud brings them to light and life, and  encourages us to do what most folks fear more than snakes: stand up and speak up in public.   Story spoken aloud is what we leave of ourselves in another person. A story is an intimate lasting legacy, a permanent inheritance much like a vow or an oath. When we share our stories out loud, we connect with each other, we belong to each other. We might not realize it but we are creating a verbal promise, a vow, an oath of belonging. Think about how many times we've heard  someone say, "Repeat after me: I solemnly swear..." Marrying couples pledge faithfulness through the challenges and joys of marriage. Lawyers uphold the law, maintain client confidentiality, and act as an officer of the court. Doctors focus on ethics, patient care and societal responsibilities. Politicians preserve and defend the Constitution. US military support and defend the Constitution against all enemies. Immigrants becoming US citizens swear the Oath of Allegiance to the United States during a formal naturalization ceremony. From the time we are children in school we recite The Pledge of Allegiance, a patriotic promise of loyalty to the United States flag and the republic for which it stands. What happens when we share our stories out loud? They become real. We say what we mean, we mean what we say. We—and those hearing us—know what we stand for and what we won't stand for. Yes, you might write a story but it needs to be shared out loud to enrich and include the wider world. That's the legacy of the stories we leave in those who have heard them spoken aloud. CTA:  If you'd like to learn more, email me at info@quartermoonstoryarts.net for a no obligation Discovery Call. And thank you for listening!  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Why do people stay connected to church in a world where belief feels uncertain and worship can sometimes feel ordinary? In this episode of Together 4 Good, Pastor Nate sits down with Senior Ministries Co-Coordinator Pastor Jane Ritterson to talk about “thin spaces,” embodied prayer, doubt, death and dying, and why community still matters. This conversation explores the tension between belief and trust—and the quiet hope that God often shows up through other people.What You'll Learn:What “thin spaces” are and how they shape faithWhy embodied prayer can matter more than perfect wordsHow faith and doubt can coexist honestlyWhy church is grounding—even when it isn't excitingHow humility and community sustain us in hard seasonsIf this conversation resonated with you, like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who might be asking similar questions about faith, doubt, and community.Connect with Bethany:

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.

In today's episode, I chat with Kirsten DesMarias and Molly Hilgenberg, co-hosts of the podcast” Mama You Belong.” Kirsten and Molly live in Minnesota and are here to create an awareness of what is happening with regard to Operation Metro Surge. This episode was recorded Feb 9, 2026 and on Feb 12, 2026, Tom Homan who is leading Operation Metro Surge after Greg Bivino's removal, reported that “immigration enforcement operation was winding down”, there however remains scepticism that this is happening (1) In the meantime, ICE detention facilities are growing at an alarming rate and as off mid January are reported  73 000 individuals in detention (2).

In this message, Pastor Clay NeSmith continues our series with a powerful word titled "You Belong." Diving into Luke 15 and the story of the Prodigal Son, we explore the depth of the Father's heart for His children.Jesus faced accusations for eating with "tax collectors and notorious sinners," but His response revealed a life-changing truth: God isn't looking for religious pedigree; He is looking for relationship. Whether you feel like you've wasted your inheritance in a "distant land" or you are just looking for your place in the world, the invitation remains the same.It is time to "come to your senses," return to the Father, and realize that no matter your past, you have a future in His house. You belong here.

About This EpisodeIn this guest episode I sit down with Professor Marc J. Defant, Professor of Geology and Geochemistry whose work spans the physical sciences and evolutionary psychology.Recently he published a peer-reviewed paper in Sexuality & Culture titled “Evolutionary Psychology and the Crisis of Empirical Rigor in Feminist Studies” - https://rdcu.be/eOkjZThe paper argues that much of modern feminist scholarship is ideology and not grounded in any truth. Professor Defant and I discuss how social constructivism has created confusion about relationships, work, masculinity, and femininity. We explore human evolution, parental investment theory, cross-cultural studies of mate selection preferences, and much more.Listen in to learn how feminism might have broken an old template but has gone too far in denying human nature, why suppressing sex differences actually clarifies them more, the real roots of the pay gap, and what's really going on between men and women today.Get in touch with Professor Marc J.

This episode is part 1 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 looks at McClellan's argument that the canon was not certain in the first century A.D. and that Josephus didn't clarify which books were in the 22 books he regarded as Scripture. He argues that 1 Enoch may have been considered Scripture during this time before that idea faded out later because of how many copies of it were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran.We see what the Essenes believed in the Qumran community and why they may have liked 1 Enoch. We also test Josephus' threefold division of the Tanakh to see if 1 Enoch could fit.Sources Cited:Dan McClellan, "Was 1 Enoch considered inspired scripture?"Dan McClellan, YHWH's Divine Images: A Cognitive Approach, (SBL Press, Atlanta, 2022).Ether's Elephant, "Dan McClellan being Woke for 8 Minutes"Dan McClellan, "Does the Social Justice of the Bible Differ from the Social Justice of Today?"Eva Mroczek, "How Many Books are in the Bible?

Loneliness isn't about physical absence. It's about emotional distance. This is why many feel alone though they're married, have many friends, and are in a church small group. Where does this desire for intimate connection come from? Why is soul friendship so difficult to come by? Join us this Sunday, as we see how the Gospel invites us out of isolation and gives us the courage to pursue deep, life-giving community.

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.
