Have you ever wondered what God's arrival somewhere actually looks like? Ezekiel chapter 1 gives us perhaps the most vivid glimpse found anywhere in Scripture—and it's absolutely mind-bending.Glenn and Steve dive deep into the prophet's extraordinary vision, exploring the whirlwind of fire, the four-faced living creatures, the mysterious wheels within wheels covered with eyes, and the overwhelming splendor that caused Ezekiel to fall flat on his face in reverent awe. But rather than getting lost in symbolic interpretations, they focus on experiencing the emotional impact and theological significance of this cosmic encounter.The conversation reveals how modern believers have often domesticated our concept of God into something comfortable and manageable. Biblical encounters with the divine were never casual—they were overwhelming, sometimes leaving prophets physically ill for days afterward. This should make us skeptical of contemporary claims about casual heavenly visits where people claim to high-five Jesus or treat Him like an ordinary friend.What emerges from this exploration is a portrait of God whose omniscience is depicted through beings with faces looking in every direction and wheels covered with watchful eyes. His omnipresence and responsiveness are illustrated through supernatural mobility in any direction without turning. His transformative glory causes everything in His presence to shine with reflected light.Most profoundly, the hosts reflect on the theological depth of this vision: "Would we really want a God we could fully understand and explain? That's not really a God—it's a pet or a machine." True divinity transcends our comprehension while inviting our worship.Whether you're a longtime Bible student or just curious about Scripture's more mysterious passages, this episode offers fresh insights into the awesome nature of God and reminds us that approaching Him requires both reverence and wonder. Take a journey with us beyond the veil and discover a God who's bigger, more glorious, and more present than you might have imagined.Support the showThank you for listening!!

Together, they unpack what happens when kids experience a behavioral outburst... and then don't want to talk about it in therapy.From school incidents to home meltdowns, the conversation dives into the importance of regulation, emotional safety, and why sometimes less talking is more effective. They discuss how shame, anxiety, and sensory overload impact kids, and offer practical tools to empower parents, teachers, and therapists alike, without taking behavior personally.If you've ever wondered why your child shuts down after a tough moment, this episode offers grounded, compassionate insight from two experts who've seen it all.Key Takeaways:

In this episode of The Grief Lounge, Sadie sits down with artist Natalia Millman to explore how grief can be expressed and reimagined through creativity. Natalia shares the story behind her powerful project, Letters to Forever — an upcoming exhibition in St Albans that brings together 215 personal letters written by people about their grief. Through her creative process, Natalia transforms these words into visual pieces, allowing memory, sorrow, and love to take shape in ways that go beyond words.Together, they reflect on what it means to feel seen in grief, the quiet strength in expressing pain, and the connection that comes from shared stories. Natalia also talks about losing her father in 2019, how that shaped her work, and how her earlier exhibition at the Crypt Gallery in London led to this next chapter.The exhibition will also include daily workshops — from grief yoga to clay-making, offering a gentle and creative space for people to show up with whatever they're carrying.This is a tender and honest conversation about grief, creativity, and what it means to make something meaningful from loss, for anyone who's ever searched for a way to say the unsayable.If you are looking to discover more about Sadie please visit her website here:www.thegriefcoachuk.comYou can also connect on instagram here: @the_grief_coach_ukFor further information about Natalia Millman and her project Letters to Forever please visit her website here: https://www.nataliamillmanart.com/And you can find Natalia on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/nataliamillmanart?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MXB5a3pyYXl2bWNrNA==

Leadership's echo effect shapes dental practice culture far more than we realize. As practice owners, even when we're not actively leading, our behavior creates rippling effects that influence team dynamics long after we've left the building.True practice culture isn't what you declare in mission statements or team meetings—it's the accumulation of every feeling your team members have about working in your practice. These feelings develop through countless small interactions where your actual behaviors either reinforce or contradict your stated values. A deep sigh when interrupted, multitasking during conversations, or inconsistently holding people accountable all send powerful unspoken messages that can undermine everything you claim to stand for as a leader.Ready to create a practice that runs smoothly with less stress and higher profits? Consider joining our September mastermind where we'll help you build leadership skills and systems that create positive cultural echoes throughout your practice.Text us your feedback!

I would very like to get a review from you. Please send a note to me. Thanks, Peter! like to much appreciate a review from you!! Thank you!Have you ever wondered why so many marketing research tools fail to capture what customers truly want? James Warren, CEO and founder of Share More Stories, talking with host Peter Woolfolk, has dedicated his career to solving this problem through an innovative approach that combines storytelling with artificial intelligence to reveal the "why" behind customer and employee behavior.Warren introduces us to the SEEQ platform (Stories to Engage, Explore and Question), which takes a fundamentally different approach from traditional surveys and focus groups. While conventional research tools excel at identifying who, what, when, and where, they often miss the crucial question of why people make the decisions they do. By inviting participants to share personal stories rather than just answer predetermined questions, SEEQ creates a safe space for authentic expression that yields remarkably rich insights.What makes this methodology particularly powerful is how it transforms qualitative experiences into measurable emotional data. The platform analyzes 55 different emotions, needs, values, and attitudes to create an "emotional map" that helps organizations understand not just what people experienced, but why it mattered and how it made them feel. For communications professionals, this represents invaluable intelligence for crafting messages that genuinely resonate.Warren shares compelling success stories, including how Virginia Tourism Corporation used story-based insights to reimagine their approach to reaching Black travelers. By deeply understanding these travelers' experiences and then creating a campaign that authentically reflected those stories, they achieved remarkable results, increasing Black tourism to Virginia while earning industry recognition.The interview highlights what's missing in most corporate communications today: authentic voice. Too often, PR messages are developed from the company's perspective rather than centering the voices of customers or employees. By incorporating authentic stories and emotional insights into communications strategy, brands can dramatically shorten the distance between message and audience, creating that elusive "ring of truth" that drives engagement and loyalty.

In this inspiring episode, host Jed Doherty explores two powerful approaches to child development through reading and connection. First, Michal Berg, CEO of Spirituality for Kids (SFK), shares her heartwarming children's book "LB: Discovering the Inner Light". Berg explains how the book helps children understand their inherent worth and inner potential. She emphasizes that every child has an "inner light" - a core of wisdom, goodness, and resilience that never dims, even when life feels challenging. Berg's approach goes beyond traditional emotional learning, focusing on spiritual intelligence. She encourages parents to ask open-ended questions, validate their children's feelings, and help them understand that emotions are temporary, but their inner essence remains constant. Her organization, SFK, provides curriculum and resources to help children develop self-awareness and emotional resilience. The episode then shifts to Dr. Michelle Schiffman from Reach Out and Read, who discusses the critical importance of early literacy. With alarming statistics showing that only 40% of fourth and eighth graders read at basic levels, her organization is working to change this trajectory by providing books during pediatric wellness visits. Dr. Schiffman highlights the multifaceted benefits of reading physical books with children. Beyond vocabulary development, reading together builds brain connections, enhances fine motor skills, and creates profound emotional bonds between caregivers and children. Both guests share a common message: reading is about much more than words on a page. It's a powerful tool for connection, self-discovery, and personal growth. Key takeaways include: Every child has an inherent inner light Reading together builds crucial developmental skills Physical books offer unique sensory experiences Parents can support children's emotional and intellectual growth through intentional reading Listeners are encouraged to explore resources like SFK.org and ReachOutAndRead.org to support their children's development.

What if the words you needed vanished just when you needed them most? For nearly 2 million Americans living with aphasia, this isn't a hypothetical—it's daily life.Aphasia strips away the ability to speak, understand, read, or write without affecting intelligence. Behind every struggle to communicate lies a person who knows exactly what they want to say but can't access the words. This disconnect between thought and expression represents the fundamental challenge people with aphasia face.In this enlightening conversation with Dr. Kim Frey and Betsy Batts from Craig Hospital's innovative CHAT program (Craig Hospital Aphasia Therapy), we explore how modern aphasia therapy has evolved beyond traditional picture-naming exercises into comprehensive, intensive treatment that creates real-world results. Founded in 2017, CHAT employs Intensive Language Action Therapy that pairs motor and language networks in interactive, game-like sessions that yield remarkable improvements.Whether you're a healthcare professional, have a loved one with communication challenges, or simply appreciate the gift of expression we often take for granted, this episode offers valuable insights into the puzzle of language and the remarkable resilience of human connection.Craig Hospital in Denver, Colorado, is a world-renowned rehabilitation hospital that specializes exclusively in the neurorehabilitation and research of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and brain injury (BI). Craig is a not-for-profit, free-standing, national center of excellence that has treated more than 34,500 patients with SCI and BI since 1956. https://craighospital.org For more Information visit: https://craighospital.org/onlyatcraigpodcast Disclaimer: The content in this podcast is intended for general informational purposes only.

Sophie Ricouard, Pre-Elementary Academic Director (Toddler–K) at the San Diego French-American School, joins us to discuss the benefits of bilingual education. She explains how her school starts with French immersion and then gradually transitions to a 50/50 mix of French and English. Sophie emphasizes the cognitive and social advantages of bilingualism, noting that children learn to switch between languages. She addresses common misconceptions, such as the fear of losing English skills, and highlights strategies for parents to support their children's bilingual journey.

When did medical terminology become a form of sorcery? In this profound exploration of healing, Dr. Thomas Lodi reveals how the language we use around disease—particularly cancer—shapes our recovery more powerfully than any treatment protocol. The "standard of scare" pervades modern medicine, transforming natural biological adaptations into terrifying "diagnoses" that trap patients in cycles of fear and dependency. Dr. Lodi dismantles this paradigm by unveiling a liberating truth: cancer isn't a collection of hundreds of different diseases, but one fundamental metabolic process (the Warburg effect) manifesting in different locations. This reframing transforms our understanding from helplessness to empowerment.Beyond cancer terminology, Dr. Lodi delivers game-changing insights about sleep that few discuss. While most focus on sleep duration, he explains why sleep timing is actually more critical—going to bed before 9:30pm activates the brain's glymphatic system during slow-wave sleep, removing neurotoxins that contribute to neurodegenerative conditions. This overlooked connection between sleep timing and brain health could transform your wellness journey overnight.His piercing critique of dietary trends, particularly the carnivore diet, reveals uncomfortable truths about human nutrition that challenge popular narratives. Meanwhile, his simple test for physical fitness—sitting on the floor and standing without using hands or furniture—provides a more accurate predictor of longevity than sophisticated medical screenings.Whether you're navigating a health challenge or seeking preventive strategies, this episode offers a radical reorientation toward healing that begins with language, continues with sleep, and flowers through proper nutrition and movement.

Oscar Trimboli has spent his life helping people hear what's not being said. As a listening expert and advisor to some of the world's largest companies, he's discovered a surprising truth: most of us only catch a fraction of what's being communicated. We hear the words, but miss the silences, emotion, and meaning beneath them. In this episode, Dart and Oscar explore the five levels of listening, what it takes to make someone feel truly seen, and how listening can be taught, measured, and embedded into teams.Oscar Trimboli is a speaker, leadership coach, and the author of How to Listen. He hosts the Apple award-winning podcast Deep Listening and has worked with clients such as Microsoft, AstraZeneca, and Cisco to improve communication and collaboration through listening.In this episode, Dart and Oscar discuss:- The five levels of listening- What it takes to make someone feel truly seen at work- Why most of us only hear 14% of what someone really means- The link between listening and action- How listening can reduce meetings and increase effectiveness- Why silence is the most powerful listening tool- What metaphors reveal about how people see the world- How to teach listening as a core leadership skill- And other topics…Oscar Trimboli is a speaker, author, and host of the Deep Listening podcast. His mission is to create 100 million deep listeners in the workplace. He's advised organizations including Microsoft, AstraZeneca, and HSBC on how to listen beyond the words and build cultures of understanding.

Most linguistic datasets focus on written text, but what about the way we actually speak? TalkBank, the world's largest open-access repository of spoken language, is helping researchers understand everything from child development to dementia, bilingualism, and even classroom learning.  In this episode of Under the Cortex, host Ozge Gurcanli Fischer Baum speaks with Brian MacWhinney from the Carnegie Mellon University, who recently published an article in APS's journal Current Directions in Psychological Science. MacWhinney, the creator of TalkBank, highlights how spoken language research is transforming our understanding of psychology and communication. The conversation evolves into the discussion of the importance of open-access language databases, the role of AI in analyzing speech, and the future of spoken language research across cultures and disciplines.  If you're interested in learning more about this research, visit psychologicalscience.org.  Send us your thoughts and questions at  underthecortex@psychologicalscience.org 

In this episode, we delve into the grief experiences of children and teens with autism. Our guest, Jennifer Wiles, M.A., LMHC, BC-DMT, FT - Director of the HEARTplay Program and a dance movement therapist with decades of experience - joins us to discuss how children with autism process grief and how parents and others in their lives can support them. Drawing on her background in both nonverbal forms of expression and grief support, Jennifer shares compassionate, practical insights rooted in her work with families. This conversation is both timely and essential, especially during Autism Acceptance Month, as it highlights the importance of expanding how we understand and support grief beyond more traditional approaches rooted in words.  We discuss:   The importance of using direct, concrete language when talking about death  Common misconceptions about how kids with autism express grief  Why behaviors often interpreted as indifference may be expressions of deep emotion  How sensory overload and disrupted routines can intensify grief reactions  The powerful role of nonverbal communication—movement, gesture, rhythm, and ritual—in grief expression  How social stories and structured activities can prepare kids for events like funerals  Grief rituals for significant days like anniversaries and birthdays  The impact of other losses, including changes in routine, missed milestones, and the death of service animals  Resources mentioned:  Toolkit from the National Alliance for Children's Grief (NACG): A resource for supporting children of all abilities who are grieving Books:  I Have a Question About... series by Meredith Polsky & Arlen Gaines  Understanding Death and Illness and What They Teach About Life by Catherine Faherty  A Kids Book About Grief by Brennan Wood  HEARTplay Program: Free downloadable social stories and grief support  Have feedback or a story to share?

Send us a textEver felt stuck in your own head, trying to think your way out of difficult emotions? Susan Hensley discovered a powerful alternative when she picked up some crayons during the pandemic and let her "inner five-year-old get loose." This simple act of creative play opened a doorway to profound healing and self-discovery that changed the trajectory of her life.Susan joins us to share how art journaling became her pathway from corporate executive to transformational coach and author. With warmth and wisdom, she explains why this practice works especially well for people who don't consider themselves creative or artistic. "I have yet to meet an adult who takes themselves seriously while holding a crayon," she laughs, revealing how this simple tool helps silence our inner critic and access deeper wisdom.What makes Susan's approach so refreshing is its accessibility. Her three-minute scribbling exercise requires nothing more than two colors and a small piece of paper. Yet this brief creative play can provide what she calls a "turbo boost" for emotional processing—helping us move through rage, fear, and uncertainty with greater ease. She shares fascinating examples of how the images and symbols that emerged in her journals revealed truths her conscious mind hadn't yet recognized, from winding paths that predicted her career transition to an open door with a yellow lab that appeared just as she was publishing her book.For anyone navigating life's "messy middle" between endings and new beginnings, Susan offers both practical tools and compassionate perspective. Whether you're facing career changes, relationship shifts, or simply seeking more joy in your daily life, her insights on creative resilience provide a refreshing alternative to traditional self-help approaches. Try her simple exercises, explore the patterns that emerge, and discover what your soul might be trying to tell you through color, shape, and symbol.Ready to scribble your way to greater clarity and peace?

Is trying to understand spiritual truth a futile task? Is it all beyond words and beyond the logical understanding of the human mind? In this Q&A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Kaustubha Das, with guest host Kishori Gopi, takes on one of the deepest questions of spiritual life—whether the ultimate reality can be known, described, or even spoken of. Drawing from the ancient dialectic between Advaita Vedanta and Bhakti Vedanta, they explore how the Absolute is perceived across different schools of Indian philosophy, and whether Krishna's teachings are meant to be understood—or simply surrendered to. Then, things get bold and existential: If we're not the body or the mind… why not just commit suicide? This intense question opens the door to a profound discussion on karma, the soul's journey, and why trying to “opt out” is ill advised. Morgan Freeman shows up. So does Groundhog Day. Somehow it all makes sense. Key Highlights * The Bhakti perspective: Krishna can be understood—and described—in rich detail * How Shankara's “neti neti” approach led to the idea of the indescribable Absolute * Karma as a cosmic reformatory system * Why suicide doesn't break the cycle—just moves it like a whack-a-mole * What Newton might say about karma (and why we're not totally convinced) * “They muddy the waters to make them seem deep.” — Nietzsche, and also Kaustubha

Today, Emily Kircher-Morris and Meredith Polsky look into the complexities of selective mutism, exploring its definitions, the importance of language in understanding it, and the personal experiences that led Meredith to specialize in this area. They discuss the myths surrounding selective mutism, and its manifestation as an anxiety disorder rather than a choice or a form of shyness. Meredith shares her journey as a parent of children with selective mutism and the challenges she faced in finding appropriate treatment, ultimately leading her to become a clinician herself. They explore the challenges of diagnosis, and provide effective therapeutic techniques. This is a must-listen for adults supporting children with selective mutism. TAKEAWAYS Selective mutism is often misunderstood as a choice. Language matters in discussing selective mutism. The term 'situational mutism' is gaining popularity. Parents play a crucial role in treatment. Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder, not shyness. Pushing children to speak can increase anxiety. There is a lack of awareness among clinicians about selective mutism. Selective mutism can complicate the diagnosis of autism. Children with selective mutism may not exhibit typical anxiety responses. Effective communication strategies are crucial for children with selective mutism.

Send us a textCraig Parks transforms our understanding of connection with autistic children through the profound language of music. Drawing from his dual expertise as both a professional musician and father to an autistic son, Craig reveals how music became the bridge that helped his non-verbal toddler communicate and eventually thrive as a drummer with perfect pitch.The conversation takes us through Craig's personal journey of receiving his son's autism diagnosis at just 16 months old, facing the uncertainty of whether he'd ever hear his child say "Daddy," and discovering how melody and rhythm created pathways of connection where words couldn't reach. "When he is playing music with other musicians," Craig shares, "in that moment there is no neurotypical, there is no autistic—there's just humans creating energy together."This revelation led Craig to develop his groundbreaking "Parenting A to E" course, teaching parents to master their "affect"—the physical manifestations of emotions through facial expressions, body positioning, and vocal tone—to better connect with children across neurological differences. Through specially crafted songs that transform daily routines like bedtime and hand-washing into meaningful moments of connection, Craig demonstrates how parents can create lasting memories and stronger bonds with their children.Beyond parenting techniques, our conversation explores the creation of truly inclusive spaces where neurodivergent children can be celebrated for exactly who they are. Drawing from his 27 years directing summer camps, Craig shares how compassionate communities can be built where differences aren't just accommodated but embraced. Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone who values human connection across differences, this episode offers practical wisdom for using music to bridge neurological divides and foster relationships built on acceptance and joy.Ready to transform your connection with the children in your life?

In this episode with Debbie Wong, we explore the theological question of babies praising God through the sounds they make -- the _jubilus_, as in the work of Augustine. This leads us to the practical question of how to understand the role the "woahs" and "ohs" in contemporary worship more broadly. Is it good and right to have these kinds of phrases in our praise songs? Is worship better the more theologically precise it is? Read the full article here: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/15/12/1454

In 2 Chronicles 20:12, Jehoshaphat prays, “For we are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on You.” I wonder if some in the crowd weren’t thinking to themselves, “You call that leadership? No power. We don’t know what to do.” Most of the time we are looking for people who will say, “I am very powerful and I know exactly what to do.” That is what our culture most often identifies as true leadership. The Scripture, however, speaks something very different into our lives. We are frail. We are not that smart, and when we come to the understanding of our weakness and frailty, then we are comforted with the knowledge that the Spirit of God helps us in our weakness. As Paul would say in 2 Corinthians 12, “His power is perfected in our weakness.” If you have it all figured out, you know everything, and you have all the strength you need to meet the circumstances of your life, you can probably skip this weekend’s message. But if, by chance, you are at a place where you don’t really know what to do, or if you have come to a place where the circumstances seem overwhelming and you feel powerless, I pray you will join us the weekend. In our passage this week, Paul will reinforce a powerful truth that is so critical for the effective Christian life: “the Spirit helps us in our weakness.” — Pastor Chad McDonald

In the first episode of our weekly Lenten series, we invite you to take a moment to slow down, quiet your heart, and hear what God may be saying to you. Throughout the season of Lent, we'll be releasing weekly episodes focused on themes of reflection, prayer, and contemplation.On March 19, 2021 we were delighted to host Christian author, leader, and teacher, Ruth Haley Barton.

Ruth is the author of numerous books and resources on the spiritual life, including Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership and Sacred Rhythms. She reflects regularly on spirituality and leadership in her blog, Beyond Words, and on her podcast Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership.We hope you enjoy this conversation around her book, Invitation to Solitude and Silence: Experiencing God's Transforming Presence. Our attention, Barton believes, has become a commodity that we must protect if we are to avoid being swept away by our distracted age. She invites listeners to engage in these ancient biblical practices to find the rest for our souls that Jesus promises. In this Lenten season, we hope this will inspire you to pursue God's transforming presence in new ways and contemplatively sit in solitude and silence with the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Learn more about Ruth Haley Barton. Watch the full Online Conversation and read the transcript from March 19, 2021. Related reading:A Shocking Lack of Solitude, Cherie Harder Authors and books mentioned in the conversation:Blaise PascalJohn MiltonC.S.

Through biblical examples and personal reflection, we'll discover that prayer is not about performance but about authentically expressing our hearts before Him.

Do you find yourself using words like "trust" and "enjoy" when describing your horse training goals, but struggle to translate these concepts into action? You're not alone. Many riders grapple with the gap between their aspirations and day-to-day training decisions. In this episode, Stacy Westfall explores how to transform abstract horse training concepts into physical, observable actions. Key takeaways: Dreams remain intangible until we define what they look like in real-world situations Common phrases in horse training often mask deeper, more specific intentions The path from aspiration to action requires questioning your own assumptions Through real examples from her work with her horse Ember, Stacy demonstrates a questioning process that helps riders move beyond vague terminology to create meaningful, actionable training plans. This episode is essential for both goal-resistant and goal-oriented riders who want to bring their horse training dreams into physical reality.
