Send a textWhat if the fleeting thoughts you have about your animal companion aren't random at all? What if that sudden knowing, that gut feeling, that image that pops into your mind—is actually them communicating with you? In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Davey-Lee Pergentile, animal communicator and author, to explore the sacred connection between humans and animals—a bond that transcends words, and even death itself. ✨ In This Episode, You'll Discover: • How YOU are already communicating with your animals (without even knowing it) • Why some soul connections run impossibly deep—and what that means • The profound messages animals share during end-of-life transitions • How our beloved companions continue reaching out from the other side • Real stories of healing, closure, and unconditional love that will move you to tears Both Davey-Lee and I will share incredible stories—including Vinny the cat who awakened his human's intuitive gifts, and Lovey's powerful crossing that brought messages for those left behind. This isn't just about talking to animals. It's about understanding soul contracts, honoring the grief that proves how deeply we loved, and recognizing that some connections are meant to transform us forever. If you've ever: • Felt inexplicably connected to an animal • Grieved a pet and wondered if they knew how much you loved them • Sensed their presence after they were gone • Wanted to communicate more deeply with the animals in your life ...this episode will meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're navigating loss, seeking deeper connection, or simply curious about the mysterious ways our animals guide us—this episode will change how you see every purr, nuzzle, and knowing glance. “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.” - Swami Vivekananda May you always be one with your horse,

Jesus isn't looking for perfect people. He's looking for people who truly know Him. In our latest message from the Sermon on the Mount, we explore one of the most challenging passages in Scripture - where Jesus warns about those who appear religious but lack a genuine relationship with Him.The difference isn't about doing more religious activities. It's about having a vibrant, ongoing relationship with Jesus that transforms your heart from the inside out. True faith begins with believing and grows through daily connection with Him. If you've ever doubted your salvation or wondered if you truly know Jesus, this message will bring clarity and confidence.Draw near to Him. Rest in His love. Let that love move you to obedience. Do it in community. That's where real confidence is found.
In this fun, feel-good episode, Mandy and Allison catch up on all things intuition, consciousness, and why trusting yourself really is the secret sauce.They start by chatting about the progress of Allison's six-month on-line intuitive development class, where students are learning how to tap into the Akashic Records, quiet self-doubt, and actually trust what they're receiving. Allison shares a standout moment when one student accessed past-life information after making a few small mindset shifts—proof that intuition gets clearer the moment you stop second-guessing it.The conversation then takes a fascinating (and slightly mind-blowing) turn into the Telepathy Tapes podcast, which explores non-speaking autistic individuals demonstrating telepathic abilities and extraordinary intelligence. Mandy and Allison reflect on the idea that these individuals may be high-vibrational beings here to help expand human consciousness—and what that might mean for the rest of us.To wrap it all up, they remind listeners that everyone has a role to play in the collective shift happening right now. Using a very relatable metaphor (yes, chicken noodle soup makes an appearance), they talk about why your voice matters, why showing up authentically matters, and how staying in a higher vibration supports the whole. If you're into intuition development, clairvoyance, Akashic Records, telepathy, consciousness expansion, or just love exploring the “what if?” side of life, this episode will spark your curiosity and leave you smiling.Check out@the.luminant.soul on IG, YouTube and TikTokBooking a reading or healing atwww.theluminantsoul.com
Send us your feedback — we're listeningMatthew 9:35 — Jesus, Heal the Places in Me That Hurt Beyond Words Today London • Belfast • Edinburgh • Cardiff • Manchester emotional healing, inner pain, exhaustion, heartbreak, Jesus restore me Matthew 9:35 (NIV): “Jesus went through all the towns and villages… healing every disease and sickness.” Psalm 147:3 (NIV): “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Jesus, at midday the world feels tired. Many people reach this hour carrying invisible weight—emotional strain that presses behind the ribs, memories that ache, disappointment that lingers, and burdens too complex to explain out loud. Some are navigating heartbreak, others wrestling with mental fatigue, and many simply feel worn down by the steady pressure of life. Jesus, You see what sits inside the human heart long before any words form. You move toward wounded places without hesitation, and Your healing does not depend on our strength but on Your compassion. Holy Spirit, breathe into the strained areas of the mind. Bring calm where emotion surges like a tide. Lift the heaviness that has settled over thoughts. Where tiredness has numbed hope, revive it. Where stress has tightened, loosen its grip. Restore balance where internal worlds feel chaotic. Speak gently into the depths of the soul where fear, sorrow, and confusion have taken root. Pour comfort into places that feel fragile. Renew courage where strength is fading. Let Your presence settle like oil on deep cracks, restoring what exhaustion has fractured. Yahweh, God who binds the brokenhearted, stretch Your healing over every person who feels overwhelmed. Touch memories that sting. Touch emotions that ache. Touch the corners of the heart that feel too tender to expose. Let the Lion of Judah roar life and restoration over every weary spirit. Replace despair with hope, sorrow with comfort, pressure with peace, and inner turmoil with steady reassurance. Let Your healing become tangible—not distant, not theoretical, but real, immediate, and deeply personal. Let Your promises anchor each heart: Jesus heals me, Jesus restores me, Jesus strengthens me, Jesus carries me. Jesus, heal today what no human could reach. Enter every internal room where pain is hiding. Lift burdens people can no longer carry. Let the midday light become a moment of renewal—a turning point, a breath of fresh hope, a reminder that restoration is possible because You are near.

WAIT CONFERENCE'26 | Day 9 Theme| WORSHIP Means to Feel in the Heart| Chimdi Ohahuna In this powerful session of WAIT CONFERENCE'26, we journey into the sacred terrain of worship as a heart-born experience, not merely a sound or posture, but a spirit-to-Spirit connection that flows from deep within and rises as a fragrant offering to God. What does it mean to truly worship? Drawing from Philippians 3:10, we explore the Greek depth of the word “know”, which also means “to feel.” This revelation reframes worship as feeling God: sensing His heartbeat, His burdens, His joy, and His longing for souls and righteousness. Worship is not performance, it is perception. It is the sacred sensitivity to what moves the heart of the Father. Key Highlights: - Worship as a spiritual sensation, not just expression, but impression from the Holy Spirit. - The danger of a numb Christian life: when we want God to feel us, but resist feeling Him. - Why sacrifice is the gateway to divine sensitivity: “Pick up your cross and follow Me.” - The rise of “baby-sitting ministry” in the Church, when believers avoid the cost of feeling God. - A call to mature worship that embraces God's emotions, not just His blessings. Whether you're a worship leader, a seeker, or someone longing to go deeper in your walk with God, this episode will awaken your heart to the transformative power of feeling God—and being felt by Him. “That I may know Him…” — Philippians 3:10 To know Him is to feel Him. And to feel Him is to follow Him, no matter the cost. Jesus is Lord.
Your wife screams, “You never say you love me.” You answer, “That's not true. I told you I loved you in our marriage vow and if it ever changes, I'll let you know.”OK, in this example both parties are getting it wrong. For the wife, it would have been better if she could have said, “I feel starved for love and affection. Can you please show you love me by …?”This lets the husband know there is an ache in her heart, a void that needs to be filled, and a specific action he should take to help fill that void.Read more here.Support the show

In this deeply moving episode of the Helping Couples Heal podcast, Marnie is joined by four courageous women (Sabra, Ally, Liz, and Rachel) who vulnerably share their personal experiences navigating the aftermath of betrayal. Together, they explore a critical but often overlooked aspect of the healing journey: the complex role of friends and family.The group discusses the universal need for external support and the painful reality that loved ones often don't know what to say or how to show up effectively. From the impulse to retreat and isolate to the trauma of being judged by those closest to them, these women highlight the delicate balance between needing a "safe place to land" and requiring firm boundaries to protect their own healing process.Key topics in this conversation include:The Grey Area of Discovery: Why betrayed partners often withdraw from social circles while trying to make sense of their shattered reality.The Burden of the Fixer: How the well-intentioned advice of friends, like telling a partner to just leave, can often add to the trauma rather than alleviate it.Connection with Boundaries: Defining what safe support looks like, from the power of a meal train to the simple, profound act of sitting in silence.The Role of Support Groups: How finding a community of others who get it becomes a lifeline when family and friends fall short.Whether you are currently navigating betrayal trauma or you are a loved one seeking to support someone you care about, this episode provides essential insights into moving from judgment to empathy and from isolation to authentic connection.Download the Do's and Don'ts Guide for Family & Friends here!

In this episode of "Faith with Friends," host Lisa Lorenzo takes listeners on an insightful journey through the 11th chapter of Luke. On December 11th, Lisa shares her reflections, delving into the transformative power of prayer and how it shapes our relationship with God. With a focus on aligning personal desires with divine will, Lisa unpacks the lessons Jesus taught about prayer, spiritual warfare, and the importance of true surrender to God. By setting the scene of Jesus's teachings, she invites listeners to explore their own spiritual paths more deeply.Lisa emphasizes the importance of a heart posture in prayer, stressing that prayer is not just about words but a relationship that shapes us to embrace God's will. She discusses how Jesus's teachings highlight the significance of honoring God, seeking His presence, and maintaining a genuine connection with Him. By examining Jesus's interactions with His disciples, He reveals that true spiritual growth comes from building a relationship with God rather than performing religious duties. Lisa also discusses the implications of spiritual warfare, illustrating how true freedom emerges from the presence of God in one's life.Key Takeaways:Prayer is about relationship and heart posture, not mere recitation.True spiritual alignment begins with honoring God before requesting what we desire.Freedom and spiritual strength are found in the presence of God, not just the absence of sin.Jesus's teachings emphasize the importance of obedience and genuine surrender in spiritual development.Approach spiritual teachings with a willingness to grow rather than merely following tradition or performance.Notable Quotes:"Prayer is less about getting God to agree with us and more about learning to want what God wants.""The greatest promise of prayer is not provision. It is presence.""True obedience requires true surrender.""Freedom is not the absence of evil. It is the presence of God.""Prayer begins with relationship and not technique."Resources:Follow "Faith with Friends" on Instagram: @FaithWithFriendsFor those interested in deepening their understanding of the spiritual teachings within the Book of Luke, this episode offers profound insights into aligning one's life with divine purpose.

Step right up dear traveler! Jump into the shoes of an ancient ship's stowaway and discover the landscapes of the Tarot firsthand with a visionary lens! In this episode of the Archetypal Tarot Podcast, host Cyndera Quackenbush welcomes artist and deck creator John A. Rice to discuss his 5-year visionary creation, the Mindscapes Tarot. Unlike traditional decks that spotlight human figures, the Mindscapes Tarot invites us into vast, symbolic landscapes—vivid oil pastel paintings that immerse the reader in color, place, and atmosphere. John shares how this extraordinary project began during the pandemic, when visions of celestial skies and archetypal terrains appeared to him almost fully formed. Over five years, he translated these inner landscapes into hand-drawn paintings, borders, lettering, and even unique sigils—imbuing each card with the soulful touch of lived time and experience. From the High Priestess's veiled mysteries to the evolving vistas of the Minor Arcana, the deck invites readers to step through “little windows” into magical worlds. John and Cyndera talk about art as theater, tarot as travel, and how storytelling transforms symbols into living portals. John also teases new projects—from ghost stories on autumn leaves to a fresh Lenormand deck and fairy-tale illustrations. This conversation is a journey into art, symbolism, and the ways tarot can become a living landscape for personal and collective transformation. John A. Rice is an award-winning actor, writer, and artist specializing in oil pastels. As one of the few artists working in this medium, his work has sold in more than 35 countries worldwide. He runs his art shop, J.A.R. Studio, NYC, out of his workspace in Astoria, NY. A skilled Tarot reader, John drew upon this background to create the popular Mindscapes Tarot, featuring his signature landscape style (Hay House/Penguin Random House). Additionally, his hauntingly beautiful illustrated A Christmas Carol and October Shadows: Classic Ghost Stories of Halloween are now available as a collectible editions (Abbeville Press). His unique immersive exhibit Beyond Words, created in collaboration with psychic mediums from historic Lily Dale, is currently exhibiting.

Send us a textWhat if your child's seemingly unusual behaviors are actually their way of connecting with a world most of us can't see? Catherine Crestani, leadership coach and intuitive healer with nearly two decades of experience as a speech-language pathologist, shares profound insights about the spiritual dimensions of autism that mainstream approaches often miss. Drawing from her extensive work with hundreds of children on the spectrum, Catherine reveals how many nonverbal children possess remarkable intuitive abilities – sensing energies, communicating with spirits, and processing the world in ways that defy conventional understanding.This conversation takes a deep dive into the power of parental intuition when raising a child with special needs. Sara and Catherine discuss the critical importance of trusting your gut feelings about schools, therapies, and medical advice, even when professionals dismiss your concerns. Through personal stories, including Catherine's experiences with "guardian angels" guiding her nonverbal clients and Sara's discovery that her son's sleep patterns follow lunar cycles, they demonstrate how honoring your child's unique rhythms can lead to profound healing.Perhaps most powerfully, Catherine shares her perspective on healing generational patterns through self-work. "When you heal something in you, it heals seven generations after and seven generations before," she explains, highlighting how addressing our own wounds creates space for our children to thrive. This shift from trying to "fix" the child to healing the family system offers a revolutionary approach to autism support.Whether you're parenting a child with autism or supporting families on this journey, this episode will transform how you understand neurodivergence and intuitive connection. Listen now to discover how breaking free from societal expectations and embracing your family's unique path can create unexpected harmony and joy.Support the show

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!!

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?

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.

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?

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.
