In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Better Together, Brittany and Maddie invite two men they know well — Jay Allred (CEO of Source Media Properties) and Colton Penwell (Maddie's husband) — to talk about something they don’t often get asked about: what it means to be a man and a dad in today’s world. With honesty and vulnerability, Jay and Colton open up about the joys and challenges of fatherhood, what they learned from their own dads, and how their definitions of masculinity have evolved. It’s thoughtful, sometimes funny, and ultimately, a reminder that we’re all doing our best to show up — especially for the people we love. Listen now and stay tuned for Part 2, where the group will dive deeper into friendship, relationships, and building stronger support systems for men and families alike. If you're new here, this is a place for everyone to laugh, learn, heal and build. Not alone. Not perfectly. But arm in arm, heart to heart. Because we were never meant to do this alone.

Ideas That Make An Impact: Expert and Author Interviews to transform your life and business
3 big ideas discussed in this episode: BIG IDEA #1: Gratitude Changes Everything... Because it shifts what we see. When we practice gratitude, it transforms our lens on life - shifting us from scarcity to abundance, from criticism to appreciation. This fundamental change in how we see the world naturally alters how we respond to everything and everyone around us. BIG IDEA #2: Gratitude is Better Together. While private gratitude practices like journaling are valuable starting points, the real magic happens when we share our gratitude with others, creating ripples of positive impact and deepening our connections in ways that personal practices alone cannot match. BIG IDEA #3: Gratitude Experienced is Better Than Gratitude Explained. You don't need to fully understand the science or philosophy behind gratitude to benefit from its transformative power - simply practicing gratitude, even imperfectly, opens the door to experiencing its profound impact on your life and relationships.

I'm having an on-air counseling session with Jinger Duggar, a member of the reality TV show family, the Duggars, whose show chronicled the everyday life of this conservative family of 19 children. She talks about growing up in a strict religious upbringing, how it impacted her life, her faith in God, and her people-pleasing tendencies. We talk about the extent of people pleasing she struggled with, and the combination of nature/nurture that shaped her life…and what it has looked like to begin to “undo” that process in this season of her life. It's a powerful conversation and one you don't want to miss. You can also watch the full episode on YouTube.

Welcome back to the Milspouse Summer Reset Series — a season-long journey designed to help you make small, meaningful shifts that lead to major transformation. Each week, we're exploring one of the 10 focus areas of the Clarity Compass, a free life assessment tool inside the Milspouse Transformation Guide. These episodes are all about helping you create a life with more meaning and less overwhelm, one simple step at a time. In this episode, we're shining a light on something we don't talk about enough in the military spouse community: mental and emotional well-being. I'm sitting down with Evie King, the 2023 Armed Forces Insurance Military Spouse of the Year and Executive Director of In-Dependent, a wellness community built by and for military spouses. Together, we dig into why milspouse-specific mental health resources matter and how we can begin to prioritize our well-being without guilt or shame
Selling the Dream and Servicing the Nightmare
Join Kosta and his guest: Dr. Justin Murdock, Ecologist, Professor of Biology, and Director of The Water Research Center at Tennessee Technological University. In this episode: Let's start from the top, because if I'm being honest, my knowledge of Tennessee's wetlands is that I'd assume it's wet land. In April a bill passed the Tennessee House Legislature 71-21 to remove protections for up to 80% of Tennessee's wetlands. What does that actually mean for our land, our water, and our safety? Lawmakers behind this bill claimed that isolated wetlands (especially small ones) are just “damp dirt.” From a scientific perspective, what do we lose when we lose even “minor” wetlands? This bill was framed as a defense of property owners' rights. For anyone that's tried to get flood insurance lately, I bet you can think of other property owners' rights you might want more. Who pays the price when developers are no longer required to mitigate destruction of wetlands?Find out more about The Water Research Center and Dr. Justin Murdock: https://www.tntech.edu/research/wrc/https://www.tntech.edu/directory/cas/biology/justin-murdock.phpBetter Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is a product of Morgan Franklin Media and recorded in Cookeville, TN.This episode of Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is made possible by our partners at Aspire Barber and Beauty Academy.Find out more about Aspire Barber and Beauty Academy:https://aspirebarberandbeauty.com

Religion und Leben auf den Punkt gebracht. Mit Denkanstößen zur Alltagslust und zum Alltagsfrust. Von Lisa Kielbassa.
In this episode, we sit down with Jillian Henry — a passionate community builder, director of marketing at the Renaissance Theatre, and president of the board at Love On A Mission — to talk about what it means to become a parent, a friend, and a fully-formed human on your own terms. Jillian shares her experience navigating first-time motherhood in her 30s, building inclusive communities outside of traditional spaces, and why friendship can be just as powerful as family. We talk about ambition, identity shifts, chosen support systems, and what it takes to live a life rooted in purpose — even when it doesn’t look like the one you imagined.

A couple of months ago I attended the True Charity conference in Huntsville, Alabama. One of the speakers there was my guest today, Megan Rose, the founder and CEO of a Florida-based ministry called Better Together. Megan got my attention almost right away because of her personal story. I'm not going to give it away here except to say that you have to trust me on this. You want to keep listening if for no other reason than to hear that. But the robust policy and practical content of her message also arrested me. My wife and I have been foster parents here in the state of North Carolina, and Megan said out loud what we had learned, and that is that the foster care system in this country is broken, and it is broken in ways that merely having more Christian foster parents won't fix. Megan articulated that reality in ways that made sense to me. That's why I'm excited to have her on the program today. She had this conversation with me via zoom from her home in Naples, Florida. You can learn more about Better together by clicking here. Jeff McIntosh produced today's program. Heidi Allums provided graphic and technical support. Until next time, may God bless you.
Amy MacIver is joined by Dr Rebecca Sher, Project Lead for Better Together and part of the Department of Child and Adolescent Health at Groote Schuur Hospital, to unpack this powerful initiative. The conversation also features Tanique Kenny, a patient living with cystinosis and a kidney transplant recipient who has been part of Better Together since 2020. He now serves as a peer mentor, offering guidance and support to others walking a similar path. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

Justin called in to Talk To Me, because he's struggling with his self-worth and inner critic. The negative voices are loud, and seem to be controlling his life. He has a hard time tuning them out, and wants to know where they are coming from and what he can do about it. I help him get to the roots of where this strong negative self-worth might be coming from, and how to deal with his inner critic. You can also watch the full episode on YouTube.

This summer, we're hitting reset together with the Milspouse Summer Reset Series — a special collection of episodes designed to help you make small but powerful shifts that can lead to major transformation in your life. Each week, we're diving into one of the 10 focus areas of the Clarity Compass, a free life assessment tool and your go-to resource for creating a more fulfilling, purpose-fueled life. In this episode, we're starting with the foundation: rest. I'm joined by military spouse, entrepreneur, author, and mom of three, Chrissie Kenaston, for a real and refreshing conversation about what rest actually looks like in the middle of military life, motherhood, and everything in between. We're unpacking what it means to build a life of more meaning and less overwhelm — not by doing more, but by giving yourself permission to pause. If you've been feeling exhausted, like you're always “on,” or stuck in hustle mode, this episode will remind you that rest isn't just allowed — it's essential.

Join Kosta and his guest: Aaron Cofer, Community and Event Organizer for Indivisible. Indivisible Upper Cumberland is a non-partisan, issues-focused grassroots community, promoting civic engagement to hold our elected officials accountable.In this episode: We have a lot of ground to cover in this episode, but I think there's one overarching question that sums up most of what we're here to discuss. Does protesting work? Whether you're on the right, left or center, we all want change. We're in a political climate the United States has never seen before, and it's overwhelming. How do in-person demonstrations whether they be protests, marches or simply meeting people with the same ideologies as you help to create political change? The First Amendment of the Constitution protects our freedom of speech, our freedom to assemble and our freedom to express views through protest. If this is true, why do so many people get arrested protesting?
Paul is writing the letter to the Colossians from a place of love because he loves the bride of Christ. Paul wants the Colossians to know that he has been praying for them and specifically wants them to know what he's been praying over them. The pulse of this prayer is all about unity. Paul is praying for this idea of togetherness. He consistently prayed for the church's protection, the church's unity, and the church's strength. Any church, any local body of believers who are preaching and teaching the gospel is a high-value target for the enemy. Paul didn't view the churches as competitors but as partners. As the church, we are not in competition but in a partnership to see people come to know Jesus Christ. Not only that, but it is imperative that we do life with people and surround ourselves with other believers because God didn't create us to do life alone. Listen to this sermon about living in unity and in partnership in the fourth part of our In The Word series, walking through the book of Colossians.Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/iit4prVDDGISubscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast, leave a review, and let us know what you think.
Why does God command us to worship Him alone? Whatever we give our focus, time, and adoration to will become what we emulate. Worship is far more than singing in church, it is a lifestyle that transforms us to become more like our Heavenly Father. In this conversation, Sheila Walsh, Nicole Binion, Nicole C, Kalley Heiligenthal, and Blynda Lane explore the power of worshipping an all-powerful God who transforms hearts and changes lives.

Bottom line: A together life is a better life. The church is a family. As a family we have relationships and connections that are vitally important. The more deeply we connect, the better life is as we worship together, grow together, serve together, and reach "on mission" together for the glory of God.
In this episode, we sit down with Erin Ressa, business banking relationship manager at KeyBank and co-chair of Key4Women — a national initiative that supports women entrepreneurs with access to capital, mentorship, and community. Erin explains how banking — when done right — should feel like a relationship, not just a transaction. Our conversation dives into the real barriers women face when seeking funding: confidence, under-asking, and outdated perceptions. We talk about the value of honest, supportive partnerships — in business and in life. And programs like Key4Women that help bridge those gaps by combining education, advocacy, and support. Whether you’re dreaming up your first idea or scaling something you love, this episode is full of encouragement and real-world insight for women who want to grow — without going it alone.

“Vaccinating community cats creates a barrier to disease between wildlife, domestic animals, and people.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund. In this special webinar replay edition of the Community Cats Podcast, Brianna Lovell Myers of United Spay Alliance is joined by Dr. Bob Weedon, a leading expert in high-volume, high-quality spay/neuter and public health. Together, they delve into the synergistic relationship between trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) and public health initiatives. Dr. Weedon shares compelling data illustrating how TNVR not only reduces shelter intake and euthanasia rates but also fortifies community immunity against rabies. He challenges anti-TNVR narratives using scientific evidence, such as the minimal risk of rabies transmission from cats and the misunderstood lifecycle of toxoplasmosis. A major highlight includes a recent pilot study proving the effectiveness of rabies vaccines in kittens under 12 weeks — a potential game-changer for field operations. This conversation is more than an academic discussion; it's a rallying cry for more integrated, humane, and scientifically-backed approaches to community cat care. Whether you're a vet, policymaker, or colony caretaker, you'll walk away with actionable insights and renewed motivation to champion TNVR.

Join Kosta and his guest: Alex Garcia, Mayor of Monterey, TN. In this episode: When you were elected as Mayor, one of your greater missions was to be a new voice for Monterey. You wanted to represent Monterey in Putnam County and across the Upper Cumberland. When you think about Monterey, and how you want it to be represented, what does that mean to you?

In week 2 of the "We Believe..." series at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Curt Taylor spoke about the transformative power of authentic community, a core church value known as "Love Experienced." Drawing from Acts 2:42-47, he emphasized how the early church was marked by deep devotion, shared lives, and radical generosity that revealed God's love in tangible ways. Pastor Curt contrasted this with the sobering account of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-6, warning how hypocrisy can disrupt true community. He reminded the church that experiencing God's love happens most fully in honest, committed relationships with others. The message challenged us to move beyond surface-level connections and live as a Spirit-filled community where love is experienced and shared daily.

There seems to be an explosion of magic theatres, one-man shows, magic bars, and magic variety venues popping up across the country and indeed, around the world. I need to use two hands to count the number that have popped up since the first of the year! This week we chat with two magicians who have ventured into the high stakes world of filling seats in New York City where there is already a LOT of magic shows. Carl Mercurio and Jim Vines together have started “The Broadway Magic Hour” (really, off-Broadway to be precise) where they present weekly, family friendly magic shows. Their journey may not be unique, but it serves as an inspiration to others who might be considering finding their own venue (and perhaps partner) where you can entertain the masses with your magical skills. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize Both based in New York City, Carl and Jim have similar yet dissimilar backgrounds. One is a multiple award winning magician, the other is not. One was a restaurant and bar magician, the other one was not. But their styles, personalities, and characters meld perfectly on stage. This week they talk about the “mojo” that put and keeps them together. Moreover, they talk about how they found the venue and how they market themselves in this very competitive environment. There is a lot to learn from the pro tips that they offer. But even if you don't plan to ever pursue having your own theatre or your own show, I think you will enjoy our chat as we hear some of the trials and tribulations of a couple guys trying to make it in the Big Apple.

Dr. Melissa McRae, founder of Vitality Natural Wellness, joins us for a powerful and practical conversation about what really happens to women’s bodies during perimenopause and menopause — and why it matters far beyond personal health. We dig into everything from gut health and hormone shifts to workplace burnout and self-advocacy.

Today on Talk To Me, I'm talking with Haven who has struggled in her life to feel and believe the false narrative that it's all on her. She has to do it all. She has to save everyone, help everyone, do everything — be all things to all people. It's all on her. This mindset has caused her to struggle over the years…and she's having to unlearn some of these unhealthy narratives and get to the root of where they came from to begin with.

Overcoming fragility in kids
When your marriage feels heavy or disconnected, it's easy to believe you're the only one going through it.You look around and assume other couples must have it figured out,while you quietly carry the weight of your own disappointments behind closed doors.But here's the truth I wish more people knew:Suffering in silence won't move you forward.Healing begins when we step out of isolation—when we allow ourselves to be seen.When we realize we're not the only ones hurting.When we reach for help, not as a sign of failure, but as an act of courage.In this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I'm sharing something that's been on my heart:the quiet, life-changing power of doing this marriage work with others—in community, with guidance, and without shame.There's something incredibly healing about hearing someone else say,“We're struggling too.”Because suddenly… you're not alone anymore.If your marriage feels stuck right now, I want you to know:there is hope.You're not behind. You're not broken.You may just be missing the support you need to take that next step.And that next step could be as simple as scheduling a conversation.Listen to the episode and hear more about why this matters—and if you're ready to explore what working together could look like, I'd love to talk.Because this kind of transformation doesn't happen in isolation.And you don't have to walk this road alone anymore.CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Conflict is inevitable—but how we respond reveals who we are becoming. Some of us attack head on, others avoid it altogether. But in Romans 12, Paul offers a third way: the way of Jesus. Instead of fighting fire with fire let's fight with humility, empathy, and radical love. Whether you've burned bridges or buried hurt, this message offers a path forward—and shows us how to be peacemakers in a divided world. Title: Conflict Series: Better Together Text: Romans 12:14-21 Speaker: Andrew Branham
Why do we go to church—really? On Mother's Day, one of the most attended Sundays of the year, we explore a deeper purpose behind gathering together that goes beyond tradition or guilt. From Hebrews 10, we unpack how church isn't just an event, but a community of encouragement, built by Jesus himself. Through faith, hope, and love, we respond to the gospel—not alone, but side-by-side. Church isn't optional for the Christian life—it's essential. This is the huddle, not the game. Let's be the church, not just attend one.

Meggie’s ten years of drug use kept her in and out of jail. Without a life change, she’d soon return. Then she met Hans, a former addict who almost lost his hand when a vein ruptured due to his substance abuse. “That was the first time I cried out to God,” Hans said. God’s answer prepared him to be a peer specialist for an organization that coordinates recovery for jailed addicts. Called Stone Soup, the program is helping an American jail provide formerly imprisoned people with support to reenter their communities. Through the plan, Meggie moved into a sober-living house and has stayed sober. Hans now helps her and others with job placement, educational options, treatment, and family resources—a coordinated approach. The Bible describes the strength of wise partnering. “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). Alone, however, “Pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up” (v. 10). Like the “Stone Soup” folktale, where a hungry traveler invites townspeople to each share one ingredient to make a delicious soup for all, the Bible confirms we’re stronger and better together (v. 12). God’s plan is for us to live in community, helping others and receiving help in return. That’s no fairy tale; it’s truth for life.
Join Kosta and his guest: John Nisbet, Attorney and Founder of The Rogers Project.In this episode: We're going to talk about what it really means to have law and order, but first I think there's a bigger question on everyone's mind, especially today: is there still justice for all? It's unfortunate that we have to remind listeners this, but I think we should, representation in a court of law is a fundamental human right in the United States and most of the world. There's a larger national conversation about where our tax dollars go, what we should be subsidizing and who really deserves our help. Will you put into perspective why paying for public defenders and ensuring every person has a voice in the court of law should matter to all of us? For most of your career, in one way or another, you've represented individuals who couldn't afford to seek representation for themselves. Whether it was being a public defender, working with the Rogers Project, or simply volunteering your time, you've seen the wheels of justice turning up close.
