“Do not be slothful in zeal, but be burning in spirit, serving the Lord (Rom. 12:11).” For which cause I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and of love and of sobermindedness” (2 Tim. 1:6-7). This week we conclude the series titled, “Burning in Spirit, Serving the Lord,” with speaking from brother Minoru Chen on various aspects of the working saints' responsibility in the church life. This meeting was held during the 2014 International Thanksgiving Day Conference in San Antonio, Texas.

On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I'll be covering controversial territory. Don't I always? Dr. Jay Joshi is a physician, entrepreneur, and author who was wrongfully convicted in 2018. He has since regained his medical license and become a national leader in the opioid epidemic. He has written a book about his experiences: Burden of Pain. After reporting an employee who was forging scripts under his credentials to the local police, Dr. Joshi suddenly found himself at the center of an investigation led by the DEA. Over the following months, evidence was tampered with and statements were perjured, all of which resulted in a coerced plea and a sentence of 11 months in prison. He fought to regain his medical license and reestablish his clinical practice while authoring legal briefs for prominent federal opioid cases, including the Supreme Court case, Ruan v. United States. https://www.daily-remedy.com/ Burden of Pain: A Physician's Journey through the Opioid Epidemic https://a.co/d/8IYtRVL jjoshi45@gmail.com

My next guest has one simple question when it comes to the political and clinical chaos of the opioid epidemic and that is, “Is anyone protecting the patients?” Welcome to the Author Hour ... The post Burden of Pain: Dr. Jay K. Joshi appeared first on Author Hour.

You know the feeling. You're trying to read or write or think through a project, maybe even just respond to an email, when your attention starts to drift. You may not even notice it until you've already picked up your phone or jumped tabs, until your mind has already wandered way off-piste. This problem of distraction has become a bit of a modern-day obsession. We now fret about how to stay focused, how to avoid time-sucks, how to use our attention wisely. But it turns out this fixation of ours—contemporary as it may seem—is really not so new.  My guest today is Dr. Jamie Kreiner, Professor of History at the University of Georgia. Jamie is the author of a new book titled The Wandering Mind: What Medieval Monks Tell us about Distraction. In the book, Jamie shows that Christian monks in late antiquity and the early middle ages were—like us—a bit obsessed with attention. And their understanding of attention fit within a broad and often remarkably detailed understanding of the mind. In this conversation, Jamie and I talk about why monks in this era cared so much about distraction. We discuss how they understood the relationship between mind and body; how they conceptualized memory, meditation, and mind-wandering. We discuss some of the mnemonic techniques they used, some of the graphical and textual devices that helped keep them focused, and some of the metaphors and visualization techniques they innovated. Along the way we also touch on fasting, sleep, demons and angels, the problem of discernment, the state of pure prayer, the Six Wings mnemonic device, metacognitive maneuvering, and much more.  I'll just say I really enjoyed The Wandering Mind. As Jamie and I chat about here, the book illuminates an earlier understanding of human psychology that feels deeply familiar in some ways, and delightfully strange in others. I think you definitely get a sense of that in this conversation. Alright friends, on to my chat with Dr. Jamie Kreiner. Enjoy!     A transcript of this episode is available here.   Notes and links 4:00 – A webpage devoted to the Ark of Hugh of Saint Victor.  6:30 – For a detailed (and positive) review essay about The Wandering Mind, see here.  11:30 ­– The Redwall books, by Brian Jacques, are well known for featuring elaborate feasts. An article about some of the best of these. 18:30 – For more on how the body was understood in the early Christian world, see The Burden of the Flesh. 26:30 – Text written continuously is known as scripta continua. 27:30 – Articles that celebrate medieval marginalia can be found here, here, and here.  40:00 – An article about the Six Wings mnemonic. For more on mnemonic techniques in the medieval world, see Mary Carruthers' book. 53:00 – On the idea of “pure prayer,” see the book, The Ladder of Prayer and the Ship of Stirrings. 57:30 – Dr. Kreiner's next book, which comes out in January 2024, is a translation of some of John Cassian's work on distraction.   Dr. Kreiner's book recommendations can be found in a recent article here.   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation to UCLA.

As myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) carry a heavy symptom burden which can significantly impact a patient's quality of life, hear how multidisciplinary care and psycho-social support can help alleviate this burden for patients. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Sarah Everette, LCSW and oncology social worker at Baptist Health Louisville in Kentucky about how these types of support and coordination can optimize care for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms.  “If we get patients into physical therapy or occupational therapy early in their treatment, it helps with outcomes; it helps them [patients] not decondition so easily, especially for elderly populations. However, not only addressing their physical symptoms, but also their mental and emotional health [is important] too, because we know that we are not just caring for one aspect of the person but the whole person.” -Sarah Everette, LCSW  Sarah Everette, LCSW Oncology Social Worker Baptist Health Louisville Louisville, KY Resources: Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (cancersupportcommunity.org) The Psychosocial and Financial Aspects of Treating Myelofibrosis (accc.org)  National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines: Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Today we talk about all things fitness. What does it mean to be fit? Is physical fitness something that all Christians need? Why should we pursue fitness and is there ever a danger to pursuing physical fitness? Today Heather digs into how fitness and health aren't always synonymous. She also talks about how fitness can help us fulfill our calling and serve God with our bodies. But, she shares from her own experience with pursuing fitness at the expense of her health and how this kind of pursuit of fitness wasn't about being fit to serve the Lord better, but was for a more futile purpose.  Heather also looks at what scripture says about fitness in our physical body and fitness from a spiritual sense--readiness to do what God has called and asked us to do. She poses several questions for those of every fitness level to examine their own hearts, lives, and relationship with fitness to find a place of greater peace and spiritual health.

Esther Schreiber married her sweetheart Eddi and enjoyed a busy life until he was diagnosed with young onset dementia a decade ago. Eddi, 68, is now almost completely non verbal. As he slowly lost his caring personality, Esther's caregiving demands became all consuming. Now, the trailblazer draws inspiration and emotional support from other spouses.

In Genesis 2:25, we read how Adam and Eve were in the garden and "naked and unashamed." But most women with body image issues aren't experiencing this kind of freedom in their intimate lives. Just thinking about being "naked and unashamed" is nerve-wracking for most of us. But the truth is: What your body looks like has little to do with how well you can connect with your husband in the bedroom. If having a "hot" body meant great sex and great marriages, then Hollywood would be the mecca of great relationships. And, yet? That's not what we see playing out there. What is sex designed for? Does sex require us to look a certain way in order to enjoy it? Sex isn't supposed to be "Look at me" but how can we join together and love each other well. On today's show Heather makes three observations about this Genesis 2:25 verse. She discusses all the ways we've absorbed culture's messages around sex and our bodies and how they hurt our intimate lives. Heather also digs into how culture teaches us to strive for being "naked and unashamed" in every area of life. But what if this goal is misguided? Could it be that the only context in which we are designed to be naked without any shame is in the context of marriage after we've become one flesh with another person? What's our motivation to be naked and unashamed? Heather encourages you through this episode that intimacy issues are rarely about our bodies, which gives us great hope for better marriages and sex lives--no matter how our bodies age or change.

In today's About 7 Minutes of Scripture episode, Heather explores how the message of the Gospel can specifically encourage us around our specific body and food issues. We have so many messages coming at us, and every day we choose to believe certain things are true and certain things aren't true. We can choose to believe that carbs are bad or that intermittent fasting is the best way to live. We can choose to believe that more exercise is always better or that taking a rest day is akin to laziness. We can choose to believe all of these things based on the words of people on the Internet, influencers who tell us their ways are best and we follow them. But, what about the greatest influencer of all? What about Jesus and His word and His Truth? Why is it sometimes harder to believe that the Gospel is enough to pronounce us worthy and accepted? How can we believe the Gospel and its message as easily as we believe the messages of human influencers? Today, Heather explores the first part of 1 John 4.

We discuss many different healthcare challenges on this podcast and we share potential solutions. The one area we haven't discussed enough is the administrative burden on the healthcare ecosystem. This burden is felt by all stakeholders including members, health plans and clinicians. When I refer to administrative burden, I am not just referring to prior authorizations. I am speaking about the additional documentation associated with closures of gaps in care, HCC coding and more.  With us today is Jon Zimmerman, CEO of Holon Solutions. Holon provides an end-to-end platform that helps clinicians efficiently manage all the activities of patient flow from scheduling to prior auth to patient engagement and insights about the population being managed. This isn't a traditional office administrative platform, as it includes AI to drive workflows and next best actions. The platform was designed on the idea that healthcare should feel human and that people should take priority over process. Holon also assists health plans and other stakeholders as well.  Let's hear more from Jon about Holon and how this company is making a positive impact in the healthcare ecosystem.

Welcome back to Not Just Us with Luz and Martha! This week we start off with a moment of silence for the passing of a celebrity of the chisme world.

A meaningful sticker on a car that said "You are not a burden" designed with flowers caught our eye. Tune in as we interpret what this sticker meant for us and how it affected us.

Dearest Listeners, I spent some time comparing the cost versus reward of writing out show notes each week. As someone who watches movie trailers before I fully commit to any film, I can understand the desire to have a hint of what's coming in each episode before you take time to listen. However, as someone whose very soul is sucked dry each time I attempt to write a captivating script that gives you details you could easily find by checking out each guest's social media and/or website, I have determined the cost is greater than the reward.   This week I sat down with Mikella Van Dyke, and you can check her out using the links below. If it wasn't worth listening to we wouldn't be releasing it, so go listen and let us know what you think. We value your feedback and we pray this episode is as much a gift to you listening as it was for us recording it!    Connect with Mikella Van Dyke Facebook || Instagram      Connect with Chasing Sacred  Website || Instagram    Connect with hey girl podcast  Instagram || Facebook || Twitter    Connect with Bethany  Website  || Instagram || Facebook

Discovery leads to innovation. Innovation usually leads to changes in processes. But that doesn't always equate to better. Or not necessarily as a replacement.You may have seen a commercial or two for a commercial product where a walking and talking white box depicts the ease and comfort for checking for colorectal cancer at home. The insinuation is that anyone can simply send in a sample of their “#2” and find out if they have anything to worry about regarding cancer in the lower gastrointestinal tract.But at what cost is this substitute for the gold standard of colonoscopy screening actually to the patient? What are the accuracy comparisons? What to make of a positive or negative result?Ken & Eric dive in and discuss the commercial pitch for this method of using fecal DNA vs visual inspection of the colon and what actually might be overlooked for the unsuspecting patient who is trying to remain healthy.Join us on RUMBLE & LOCALS for RAW GCP!

After a positive Cologuard test a colonoscopy is required for a definitive answer.  The Cologuard test has a 13% false-positive rate, which means 1 in 10 positive tests will incorrectly identify cancer or polyps.Does Cologuard detect cancer?Yes, the Cologuard test can detect cancer 92% of the time.  However, prevention of colon cancer is better than identifying it once you have it.  The best way to prevent colon cancer is by identifying and removing precancerous polyps that don't turn into cancer later.  Cologuard only finds 42% of large, dangerous polyps that can turn into colon cancer.Can patients use Cologuard instead of a colonoscopy?Cologuard is not designed to be a replacement for a colonoscopy, even though advertisements may suggest otherwise.  58% of the time, dangerous precancerous polyps are not detected with Cologuard, which is significantly less effective than a colonoscopy. However, Cologuard may be an option for some patients who insist on not getting a colonoscopy or those not healthy enough to have a colonoscopy.  Even a 42% chance of detection is better than no detection at all.References for this episode:Uptodate.com- colon cancer screening guidelinesItzkowitz SH, Ahlquist DA.
