Texas Longhorns tight end Spencer Shannon joins 3rd & Longhorn for a conversation that covers everything from his unexpected path to the position to what it means to carry on one of the most impressive tight end traditions in college football. Spencer talks about growing up in California with family ties to Houston, what it was like coming in behind Ja'Tavion Sanders, Gunnar Helm, and Jack Endries and what he learned from each of them, and how he has found his voice as the leader of the tight end room. He also breaks down why Sark considers the tight end the second most important position in the offense, who gives him the most trouble in practice, and which new faces on campus have caught his eye.

More than a century after the 1913–14 Copper Country Strike, one of its most prominent leaders now has a permanent place in downtown Calumet, Michigan. Anna Klobuchar Clemenc, better known as “Big Annie,” was born in Calumet to Slovenian immigrant parents and became a leader in the strike, founding and serving as president of the Women's Auxiliary No. 15 of the Western Federation of Miners. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Team Big Annie chairperson Vada Riederich about the years-long community effort to raise $150,000 to create a bronze statue honoring her legacy and the August 2026 unveiling. Vada about how a Facebook post grew into a years-long campaign, the people who helped make the monument possible, and what Big Annie's legacy can teach new generations about labor history in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula.Notable Quotes:“She was driven and she would not give up on what should be fair and right.”“At that time when women had no voice and no vote, that's quite an undertaking for a young woman of 25 years old.”“I hope that young people will be inspired to learn more about our amazing history and be proud to share it.”“We're still a young nation and we're still growing and learning from our mistakes…history gives you that information so we can figure a path to correct those mistakes”“So she spoke up at that time, and it led to good things in the future.”Helpful links:Big Annie Statue Projecthttps://www.biganniestatue.com/Keweenaw National Historical Parkhttps://www.nps.gov/kewe/Coppertown Mining Museumhttps://www.nps.gov/places/coppertown-mining-museum.htmKeweenaw Community Foundation – Big Annie Statue Fundhttps://www.keweenawcommunityfoundation.org/big-annie-statue-fundConnect with us:Lake Superior Podcast Page: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

You've been strong all day, and this is sleep hypnosis to finally let go... made for women carrying too much, for everyone who needed you, in every moment that called for your strength, your patience, your grace under pressure. You showed up, again. Andrew Green sees that. And this session was made specifically for the moment after all of that... the moment when the door is finally closed, the house is finally quiet, and you are finally, achingly allowed to stop.This is a deeply personal restoration sleep hypnosis experience created for women who carry too much for too long without ever being asked how they are holding up. Through gentle, intentional sleep induction hypnosis, Andrew guides you out of the doing and the holding and the managing... and into the rare, sacred experience of simply being held yourself.

What does it mean to move beyond simply believing and begin seeking a deeper, personal relationship with God and the spiritual realm?In this thought-provoking episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine welcomes spiritual teacher and author Michael McAdams for a conversation about faith, spiritual guidance, angels, intuition, prayer, and recognizing the guidance available to us.Michael shares how his spiritual journey began within a deeply Pentecostal family. Although faith was foundational to his upbringing, he also carried questions about spirituality, heaven, the soul, and what exists beyond our physical experience. That curiosity eventually opened the door to decades of spiritual exploration.A central part of Michael's story is the extraordinary experience of his mother, Wilma Jean Jones, who received written messages and teachings over a period of 22 years. Michael describes these communications as messages from spiritual teachers or angels and shares several passages from the writings collected in his book, An Angel Told Me So.Dana and Michael explore the idea that spiritual guidance may come through prayer, intuition, thoughts, impressions, and moments of inner knowing. Michael encourages listeners to remain grounded in faith while becoming more aware of the subtle ways guidance may appear in everyday life.The conversation also explores free will, spiritual discernment, affirmations, prophecy, the importance of asking for guidance, and Michael's belief that each of us can become more receptive to divine direction.One of the most powerful themes of the episode is simple: spiritual growth requires participation. Asking, seeking, listening, and remaining open are all part of developing a deeper relationship with God.In This Episode✨ Michael's Pentecostal upbringing and evolving spiritual journey✨ Why he says, "I want to know, not just believe"✨ Wilma Jean Jones' 22 years of spiritual writings✨ Angels, spirit teachers, intuition, and divine guidance✨ Understanding free will and personal choice✨ Recognizing thoughts versus spiritual impressions✨ Using prayer and affirmations for spiritual discernment✨ Why spiritual teachings can speak differently to each person✨ The Urantia Book and the work of Edgar Cayce✨ Prophecy, spiritual teachers, and timeless wisdom✨ Why asking and listening are essential parts of faith✨ Carrying spiritual wisdom forward for future generationsConnect With Michael McAdamsLearn more about Michael, Wilma Jean Jones, the spiritual teachings, and An Angel Told Me So at: SpiritSpeaks.comThe book is also available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and independent bookstores.Connect With DanaContinue your journey from fed up to faith-fueled and discover more episodes of the Wise Divine Women Podcast at DanaIrvine.com.spiritual guidance, faith, angels, personal journey, communication with the divine, affirmations, spiritual realm, intuition, prayer, spiritual teachings, wisdom, spirit teachers, personal growth, Wise Divine Women Podcast

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  It's just Kevin & John in the house again this week, but we've got all sorts of gaming goodies to dig into, so let's get right into the action!  (Randall will be back in action with us for the next proper episode of the PP Podcast.) John kicks things off by spotlighting some of his recent 1-bit pixel art adventures on the Steam Deck — leading things off with some love for the Zelda-inspired Master Key, followed up by a quick shoutout to Minit Fun Racer (and the original game that it's based on). After that, Kevin revisits Untitled Goose Game from House House, after being inspired to fire it back up again by the hype surrounding their recently released, online-multiplayer-only adventure, Big Walk. Finally, we close things out with yet another "gush fest" (patent pending) for one of our all-time favorite indie developers, Ojiro Fumoto (aka "Moppin"), as John bounces back & forth between both Downwell and Poinpy.   Timestamps: John's Recent 1-Bit Adventures  -  00:01:26 ↳  Master Key  -  00:01:50 ↳  Minit Fun Racer (and the original Minit)  -  00:07:37 Untitled Goose Game  -  00:13:32 Mobile Masterpieces from "Moppin"  -  00:25:46 ↳  ​Downwell & Poinpy   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at: 

Why do you strength train?To lose weight? Fit into smaller clothes? Look better in the mirror?Those are common reasons. But after 50, there's another reason that may become much more important:Protecting your ability to live independently.In this episode of Beyond the Workout, I want you to think differently about strength. Carrying your own groceries. Lifting your luggage. Climbing stairs. Working around the house. Getting down on the floor and back up again. These everyday activities are what we're really training for.I also introduce the idea of a “strength savings account.” Every time you strength train, you're making another investment in the strength and capability you want available in the future.So here's the question I want you to consider:What do you never want to lose the ability to do?Let that answer help determine why you train.Because you're not training for the gym.You're training for your life.

Title: Things Learned But Not Yet MasteredSpeaker: Sam PearceDate: 13th September 2026Location: Adelaide, Australia Summary Some lessons take years to learn, and you can still be a long way from mastering them. This episode works through three things learned but not mastered: what hospitality actually asks of us, why Jesus dealt with sin before sickness, and how to handle change in a church you love. Hospitality is pulled away from the image of a grand dinner party and put somewhere plainer: noticing a need and doing something practical about it. The example given is a woman with very little to spare who had already put her own money towards medical care for someone she knew and was out looking for a tent for a person with nowhere to sleep. From there the talk turns to Luke 5, where a man is lowered through a roof to be healed and is forgiven first, which raises an uncomfortable question about whether our urgent list and God's are the same list. The closing section is about change, and it is the most personal. Daniel is told that God changes the times and the seasons. Isaiah 43 tells a people defined by one great miracle not to live only in it, because God intends to do a new thing. And a church, it turns out, is more cruise ship than speedboat. Key Points Hospitality is less about hosting something impressive and more about spotting a need and doing something practical about it. Carrying each other's burdens is presented as basic to Christian life, not an optional extra for people with spare time. The Good Samaritan is held up as the model: unglamorous help, done quietly, usually seen by nobody but the person receiving it. A real example makes it concrete, of someone with little to spare paying towards another person's care and then hunting for a tent for someone with nowhere to sleep. In Luke 5 the forgiveness comes before the healing, which suggests our sense of what is urgent and God's may not line up. For anyone unsettled by change, Daniel is given the reassurance that God is the one who changes times and seasons and sets up and removes kings. Isaiah 43 warns a people against living only in a past miracle, because a new thing is being promised ahead of them. A church behaves more like a cruise ship than a speedboat: slow to turn, but stable and able to carry everyone. If you want the direction changed, go to the wheelhouse rather than shouting from the top deck.

Hydration can make or break a long run, but there isn't a universal formula that works for everyone. Kramer Ammons shares how he tests everything from sweat rate and hydration timing to where runners carry their water, explaining why the most efficient solution isn't always the most obvious. The conversation explores handheld bottles, hydration belts, vests, bladders, and why convenience often matters just as much as laboratory efficiency. Don and Scott add decades of racing experience, emphasizing that successful runners solve problems early instead of waiting until dehydration, stomach issues, or fatigue force them to slow down. The discussion also covers pre-hydration, electrolytes, carb drinks, aid station strategy, and how listening to your body is often more valuable than blindly following generic hydration guidelines. The biggest takeaway is that great hydration isn't about copying someone else's plan. It's about experimenting until you discover what consistently works for you.

Do you ever wonder why caring for other people leaves you feeling emotionally drained?Many sensitive people, empaths, caregivers, and helpers believe their exhaustion comes from caring too much. But caring and carrying are not the same thing.In this episode, I explore the important difference between caring and carrying, why so many sensitive people unconsciously take responsibility for other people's emotions, and how reconnecting to yourself allows you to remain compassionate without becoming emotionally overwhelmed.We'll explore:• the difference between caring and carrying• why empaths often take on other people's emotions• how people pleasing and over-responsibility develop• why emotional overwhelm isn't caused by caring too much• how self-abandonment contributes to emotional exhaustion• the connection between sensitivity, intuition, and energetic boundaries• how grounding helps you stay connected to yourself while remaining openhearted• why healing emotional and energetic patterns strengthens self-trust and intuitionOne of the most important shifts in healing is recognizing that caring is a sign of a healthy heart. Carrying is what happens when we lose connection to ourselves.As we reconnect to ourselves, we develop greater emotional discernment, healthier boundaries, and a deeper ability to care for others without losing ourselves in the process.If you've ever wondered:• Why do I feel responsible for everyone?• Why do I absorb other people's emotions?• What's the difference between empathy and emotional carrying?• Why do I feel emotionally exhausted after helping people?• How do I care deeply without becoming overwhelmed?This episode will help you understand the deeper emotional and energetic patterns underneath those experiences and offer a new perspective on what it means to remain compassionate while staying connected to yourself.

Do you still feel like the business depends entirely on you, even after hiring teams, delegating tasks, and increasing revenue?In this episode of The Agency Blueprint podcast, I'm joined by Jason Henneberry to discuss why responsibility, not just workload, keeps pulling founders back into the center of their business. Jason is the founder of the Dependency Design and the author of Why Your Business Won't Let You Go. He has spent decades working with founder-led organizations, helping them understand where responsibility actually sits behind the business and why it often ends up back with the founder.Listen in to learn about the clarity, capacity, and commitment framework, which help diagnose why responsibility keeps snapping back to leadership.

You can love somebody deeply without taking responsibility for their choices, emotions, healing, consequences, or growth.But when you're the dependable one—the fixer, helper, problem-solver, and person everybody calls—it can be hard to know where supporting someone ends and carrying them begins.We're talking about emotional boundaries, over-functioning, people-pleasing, and why constantly fixing other people's problems can disconnect you from your own life.And we're going underneath all that helping to ask the bigger question:Who are you when nobody needs you?WE'RE GETTING INTO:How to tell the difference between helping and taking overWhy other people's emotions aren't yours to manageWhy being needed can feel like being lovedHow the fixer identity can keep you disconnected from yourselfSetting boundaries when guilt makes you want to say yesWhy choosing yourself doesn't mean abandoning the people you loveTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Love Without Ownership01:44 Fixer Mode Trap03:22 Check the Tag07:18 Helping vs Taking Over14:02 Stop Carrying Feelings16:07 Potential vs Reality20:44 Hiding From Your Life23:47 Who Are You Without Fixing28:05 Capacity Check30:22 Return the Bag With Love36:18 Final Check InTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP REMIXStep 1 — Check the Tag: Ask yourself: What part of this actually belongs to me?Step 2 — Choose Your Part: Decide what you genuinely want and have the capacity to offer—without automatically taking responsibility for all of it.Step 3 — YOU Step: Put one thing down that was never yours to carry.

TWPC D2S2 | September 11, 2026 | THE BIRTH-PANGS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT PRIESTS The life of God planted within every believer is not meant to remain hidden; it must be brought forth until Christ becomes visible in thought, conduct, desire, work, relationships, and daily living. This bringing forth requires spiritual “birth pangs”—a deep hunger, mourning, travail, and willingness to surrender everything that belongs to the present age so that the realities of the age to come can emerge. Do not merely accumulate revelation; return to what you have heard, meditate on it, question it, digest it, and allow truth to reshape you, because the Word is given not simply to inform you but to command your obedience and produce the nature of God within you. Hunger not primarily for things that can be seen, possessed, enjoyed, or lost, but for the eternal realities of glory, honour, immortality, righteousness, and the knowledge of God; the more the heart is occupied with temporary things, the more the present world retains its hold, but as truth reveals Christ and detaches the heart from the world, a new nature begins to appear. The coming kingdom is therefore not merely something to wait for externally; its realities must first be birthed within a people whose lives declare that another civilization has begun. Holy living, complete obedience, blamelessness, godliness, and righteousness are ways of hastening that coming reality, because darkness loses its influence as the sons of God increasingly shine through the kind of people they become. Prayer and fasting have their place, but they cannot substitute for obedience; what God commands must be practiced until truth becomes character. Scripture equips you for these good works by producing a life in which the old nature loses its authority and the new man becomes visible. Faith must therefore be understood not merely as a means of obtaining things, but as the courage to release what is temporary in order to possess what is eternal, as Moses forsook Egypt because he saw an invisible reward of greater value. You cannot hold tightly to the old life while expecting the new life to appear; resurrection follows death, and reigning follows surrender. This process of crucifixion must reach every area of life: the mind must be renewed so that your thoughts are governed by Christ rather than the world; the hands must be crucified so that your work, business, craft, and pursuit of gain are free from dishonesty and manipulation; the feet must be surrendered so that you go only where God sends you rather than pursuing visibility, recognition, opportunity, or religious fame; and the heart must be pierced so that worldly affections, ambitions, desires, motives, and attachments lose their beauty before you. Carrying the cross is therefore a daily yielding of your own life so that Christ can live through you. Ministry activity, spiritual language, miracles, or public usefulness are not proof of maturity if the inner life remains worldly; discernment is necessary because a person may continue ministering while inwardly loving the present world. Maturity means becoming able to distinguish what is truly of Christ, refusing to excuse spiritual carelessness, and allowing constant fellowship with truth to transform the soul until what you preach and what you live are no longer different things. Offenses, pressures, work, money, relationships, and hidden motives become places where the reality of Christ is tested and revealed. Like pilgrims who saw a better country and refused to return to what they had left behind, set your affection on things above and refuse every invitation—whether through old desires, friendships, ambitions, or memories—to return to Egypt. The world that must be judged is not merely an external system; its appetites, values, fears, pride, lusts, and patterns must be uprooted from within. Allow the Spirit of God to produce an inward earthquake so deep that the old landscape of carnality disappears and those who encounter you increasingly encounter Christ. Seek God Himself above everything else, not merely knowledge about Him, until knowing Him creates a hunger that nothing in this age can satisfy. Let discipleship, fellowship, Scripture, obedience, discernment, prayer, intimacy, and the continual working of the cross bring you into maturity, so that the life presently hidden within you becomes a living expression of the coming age and your existence on earth becomes evidence that the kingdom of God has begun to appear.

Ryan Michler is joined by Alan Placer for this week's Ask Me Anything, tackling eight questions about fatherhood, masculinity, family, legacy, grief, mentorship, co-parenting, and business. They discuss when helping an adult child becomes enabling, what it means to be a real man, showing up for a parent with dementia, and navigating a child's relationship with a good stepfather. They also explore letting go of an inherited business legacy, dealing with infertility, becoming a mentor before you feel ready, and the hidden cost of being constantly available to your business. Along the way, Ryan and Alan return to a common theme: responsibility, boundaries, progress, and choosing to show up as the kind of man you want to be.

One of the early physicians in longevity medicine to focus on the connection between cellular and mental health, she treats the body as an interconnected system rather than a set of symptoms, a lens that shapes how she approaches psychedelics. Nearly two decades of work in human physiology and performance have shown her that the body one brings into an altered state matters as much as their mindset. She founded Quinntessential Journey to translate that physiology into practical, evidence-informed preparation for those experiences. Carrying a working physician's perspective into the field, her psychedelic work centers on the core pillar that physical readiness is a vital component of the medicine experience.

“Send Coach John a message”Coach Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) comes through with another lesson for all of us to learn about!  Mark's thoughts are:  “Rebuilding is messy & uncertain. But you're still allowed to laugh & find joy. You can be healing & laughing. Rebuilding & living fully. Carrying something heavy & still making beautiful memories. Joy isn't denial. It's refusing to let a hard chapter take everything from you.”  The quote (from LifeWithLindsey.IG) he shares with us is this:  “I saw this quote that said:  ‘The best thing I learned this year was to how still enjoy my life during my storms.  As long as we have life, we will have problems.  My entire world can be in chaos, and I'll still try to find a reason to laugh and smile.'  And that landed so hard with me.”  I really got to thinking about this (and feeling emotional about it as well), as to how I'm still looking to learn and grow through my challenges and setbacks… and there are many.  I also know we all have them.  Having life = having issues.  We might as well tap into them to learn more about ourselves and the life that we are part of.  Endless times to learn and grow.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Hello, and welcome back to Empower with Nancy.Have you ever reached a point in your life where you've accomplished so much, but you still find yourself asking:“Is this really what I want now?”Here's the part we don't talk about enough: sometimes feeling stuck isn't a sign that something is wrong. It may be a sign that you've outgrown the life you once wanted.In this episode, we're going a little deeper into that question.I'll share why knowing what you used to want can make it harder to recognize what you want now, and what may be keeping you from being honest with yourself.As you listen, you may feel a little uncomfortable, but also relieved. You'll start looking at your goals, choices, and expectations from a different perspective.And I want you to try something simple: pause and ask yourself, “If nobody expected anything from me, what would I choose for my life right now?”Don't answer with what you should want.Answer honestly.Listen to Episode 04 of What Do I Want Now? and let's uncover the question you may have been avoiding.Remember, you have full control of the wheel!With much Love and Hugs,NancyLearn more about Nancy Davidson through the following links: https://empowerwithnancy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/empowerwithnancy/ https://www.facebook.com/empowermentpathways https://www.linkedin.com/in/empowerwithnancy/ https://www.youtube.com/@EmpowermentMentorNancy

I was doing some research the other day on changing out some things in one of my businesses.    I asked ChatGPT what the number one struggle entrepreneurs face and it gave me one of the best answers.    It's not usually the business, it's the weight of the business.    Carrying the responsiblity alone.    Clients.    Partners, and employees may not fully understand the sacrifices made like balancing life and business, making payroll, cutting relationships that no longer support the business.    I created Apex so I could be surrounded by people that understood the challenges in my life.    I might be really good at marriage, but others are better in business.    Get surrounded by really good people with different skillsets than you.    Help those who don't have your skillsets.    Work to become better for you so you can be better for everyone else.    And help them.    That's what Apex is.    And I'm going to continue to build on that because I know it's something every single entrepreneur needs.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Why do cancer caregivers end up carrying everyone else's emotions while having so little room for their own? In this episode of The Cancer Caregiver Podcast, Charlotte explores the invisible emotional labor of becoming the person who stays calm when everyone else is scared, absorbs family members' fear and sadness, and helps keep the emotional temperature of the room steady during cancer treatment and uncertainty. For many caregivers, this role develops quietly until being “the strong one” starts to feel less like a choice and more like another full-time caregiving responsibility.Charlotte talks about what happens when caregivers repeatedly delay their own emotional reactions because someone else needs reassurance first. This episode also explores how being the emotional container can change relationships. The result can be a particular kind of caregiver loneliness: being surrounded by people and still having nowhere for your own emotions to land.In this episode, Charlotte explores:why cancer caregivers often become the emotional container for the familythe hidden labor of reading the room and regulating everyone else's fearwhy caregivers delay their own grief, sadness, and anxietyhow emotional overload can show up as irritability, exhaustion, and reduced patiencethe difference between losing compassion and simply being emotionally depletedhow always being “the strong one” can change partnerships, friendships, and family dynamicsa simple practice for giving your own emotions somewhere to go before they become part of the backlogFind more caregiver support at www.cancercaregiverpocast.com

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode 368 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm talking about the “corporate chameleon”—the version of ourselves we create at work when we're constantly adapting to what we think other people need, expect, or want from us.I explore how behaviors like being dependable, accommodating, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond can look like healthy professionalism while actually being driven by fear, insecurity, or the need to prove that we belong. The problem isn't doing excellent work. It's using our usefulness as a way to earn our place.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:How being praised for going above and beyond can make unhealthy workplace patterns difficult to recognizeThe difference between healthy adaptability and changing yourself to fit what you think the room requiresWhy taking responsibility for other people's feelings and work can become a boundary problemHow pretending to know, refusing to ask for help, and trying to be indispensable can create a professional facadeHow to stay connected to yourself while still being dependable, collaborative, and excellent at your workRecovery taught me that I didn't need to stop being dependable, caring, generous, or willing to take initiative. I needed to disentangle those qualities from fear and stop using excellent work as currency to purchase belonging.Ordinary professional statements: “I don't know, but I can find out.”“I need some clarification before I proceed.”“I can help with this part, but I can't take responsibility for the entire thing.”“I don't have the capacity to add that unless we change another priority.”“I think that decision belongs with you.”Questions to ask yourself:What does that version of you believe she must never need, admit, say, or feel?What responsibilities are you carrying because you're afraid of what might happen if you put them down?Where are you trying to appear confident instead of allowing yourself to learn?Where are you being helpful because you genuinely want to help, and where are you making yourself indispensable so you can feel secure?The next time you feel yourself starting to change colors, pause and ask: “What is actually true for me right now?”Healthy professionalism | The corporate chameleon patternAdapting how you communicate | Changing what you think to match the roomHelping a colleague | Carrying their responsibilitiesLearning what you don't know | Pretending you already knowUsing discretion | Maintaining a facadeBeing dependable | Believing you must be indispensableAsking appropriate questions | Hiding uncertainty to avoid exposureThis episode is an invitation to notice who you become when you go to work. You don't have to become less excellent or stop contributing.

What does it mean to move from simply attending church to taking ownership of the mission Jesus has given us? In the final week of our All In series, Pastor Morgan talks about what it means to live with an ownership mentality. Ownership is more than having your name on a membership list. It means saying, “These are my people. This is our mission. You can count on me.” Looking at the Great Commission, Acts 2, and Paul's picture of the Church as the Body of Christ, Pastor Morgan reminds us that following Jesus is deeply personal, but it was never intended to be lived privately. We were created to carry the mission of Jesus together, each person bringing their gifts, serving their community, and taking responsibility for the people God has placed around them. Ownership also expands our responsibility beyond ourselves. It means caring about our church, our neighbors, the next generation, our community, and people around the world. Through the mission of Jesus, we are called to live both here and there, recognizing that together we can take the Gospel farther than any one of us could alone. The question is not simply, “Do I go to Venture?” The deeper question is, “Am I willing to help carry what God has entrusted to us?” Timestamps 0:00 Welcome0:44 Wrapping Up the All In Series1:10 The Apple Watch Illustration2:26 Closing the Rings3:13 What Do the Rhythms of Your Life Reveal?3:48 “Am I All In?”4:07 The Final Ring: Ownership4:28 Ownership vs. Membership4:50 “This Matters to Me”5:35 The Costco Sauerkraut Illustration6:02 What an Ownership Mentality Looks Like6:27 Ownership Doesn't Make You a Better Christian6:52 We Were Never Meant to Carry the Mission Alone7:17 Ownership Shows Who You're Committed To7:43 The Great Commission8:08 The Mission Begins With the Authority of Jesus9:28 This Mission Belongs to King Jesus9:54 Go and Make Disciples10:18 Venture Exists to Participate in Jesus' Mission11:05 The Danger of a Consumer Mentality11:36 Consumerism in the Church12:26 What Am I Carrying?12:49 The Mission Belongs to All of Us13:14 Jesus Intended Us to Carry the Mission Together13:42 The Early Church Devoted Themselves14:11 Learning, Praying, Eating and Serving Together15:01 Commitment to Each Other and the Mission15:59 Faith Is Personal, But Not Private16:43 Jesus Forms Individuals Into a People17:04 The Church Is a Body17:40 You Are the Body of Christ18:10 The Church Is Not an Audience19:06 Everyone Has a Role to Play19:25 The Body of Christ Needs You19:50 “That's My Church”21:00 Attendance vs. Ownership21:23 “These Are My People”21:54 Ownership Can't Mean Caring Only About Our Church22:22 The Mission Is Here and There23:05 To the Ends of the Earth23:25 Morgan's Prayer for His Family24:24 An Unexpected Answer to Prayer25:07 Fighting for Each Other's Families25:34 Responsibility for Our Community26:01 The Light Bearers Kids Wing26:33 The Next Generation Matters to Us26:55 Kids Encountering Jesus27:17 Their Story Matters Anyway27:53 Ownership Expands Our Circle of Responsibility28:16 Consumerism Shrinks the Circle28:36 Here and There28:59 Why Kingdom Builders Matters29:15 Local Impact, Global Missions and Future Leaders29:38 Together We Can Take the Gospel Farther30:10 Why Does Ownership Matter?30:30 Partnership in the Gospel30:55 Prayer, Giving, Serving and Sacrifice31:24 Ownership Is Partnership31:49 Partnering With People, Not a Brand32:13 “I've Decided”32:36 Moving From Attendance to Responsibility33:06 Taking the Next Step Toward Ownership33:44 “These Are My People”34:01 Are We Really All In?34:21 Carrying the Mission Together34:51 “You Can Count on Me”35:22 “You Are My People”35:34 Making Jesus Famous Here and There36:00 Closing Prayer37:22 What's Next37:41 Giving and Kingdom Builders38:22 Back to Church Sunday38:43 Introducing Ruins to Revival39:09 Grandparents Day39:26 Next Sunday Preview39:49 Closing

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode 368 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm talking about the “corporate chameleon”—the version of ourselves we create at work when we're constantly adapting to what we think other people need, expect, or want from us.I explore how behaviors like being dependable, accommodating, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond can look like healthy professionalism while actually being driven by fear, insecurity, or the need to prove that we belong. The problem isn't doing excellent work. It's using our usefulness as a way to earn our place.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:How being praised for going above and beyond can make unhealthy workplace patterns difficult to recognizeThe difference between healthy adaptability and changing yourself to fit what you think the room requiresWhy taking responsibility for other people's feelings and work can become a boundary problemHow pretending to know, refusing to ask for help, and trying to be indispensable can create a professional facadeHow to stay connected to yourself while still being dependable, collaborative, and excellent at your workRecovery taught me that I didn't need to stop being dependable, caring, generous, or willing to take initiative. I needed to disentangle those qualities from fear and stop using excellent work as currency to purchase belonging.Ordinary professional statements: “I don't know, but I can find out.”“I need some clarification before I proceed.”“I can help with this part, but I can't take responsibility for the entire thing.”“I don't have the capacity to add that unless we change another priority.”“I think that decision belongs with you.”Questions to ask yourself:What does that version of you believe she must never need, admit, say, or feel?What responsibilities are you carrying because you're afraid of what might happen if you put them down?Where are you trying to appear confident instead of allowing yourself to learn?Where are you being helpful because you genuinely want to help, and where are you making yourself indispensable so you can feel secure?The next time you feel yourself starting to change colors, pause and ask: “What is actually true for me right now?”Healthy professionalism | The corporate chameleon patternAdapting how you communicate | Changing what you think to match the roomHelping a colleague | Carrying their responsibilitiesLearning what you don't know | Pretending you already knowUsing discretion | Maintaining a facadeBeing dependable | Believing you must be indispensableAsking appropriate questions | Hiding uncertainty to avoid exposureThis episode is an invitation to notice who you become when you go to work. You don't have to become less excellent or stop contributing. The goal is to know that you already belong before you prove anything.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

In this episode of the Holistic Healers Community Podcast, Crystal sits down with Mara Aguilar to explore her firsthand experience as a gestational surrogate and the journey that led her to make the decision to carry a baby for intended parents.Mara shares what motivated her to become a surrogate, what she looked for when choosing an agency, and what an ideal relationship with intended parents looked like for her. She walks us through some of the practical aspects of the process, including the requirements to qualify as a surrogate, what goes into a contract between a surrogate and intended parents, and the many decisions that have to be considered before the journey even begins.Mara also gives an honest look at the physical and emotional experience of surrogacy. From the hormonal preparation and embryo transfer to the unexpected challenges she encountered throughout pregnancy and the different things she tried to do to manage and mitigate those issues. She opens up about labor, delivery, postpartum recovery, and what the experience was actually like from her perspective.And, of course, Mara answers the question that she gets asked all the time: Would you do it again?Whether you've considered becoming a surrogate yourself, know someone who has, or are simply curious about what the process is really like, this episode offers an opportunity to hear about surrogacy directly from someone who has lived it.Have a listen & don't forget to follow the podcast to stay up to date on episodes!

Send us Fan MailMany of us have become so accustomed to being the capable one—the person who helps, fixes and takes responsibility—that we rarely stop to ask whether everything we are carrying is actually ours to carry.In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET, I'm joined by Dr Rachel Morris, former GP, host of the You Are Not a Frog podcast and creator of The Shapes Toolkit.Rachel introduces us to what she calls the responsibility trap: the gradual accumulation of responsibility without it ever being consciously or explicitly handed over. Although particularly common among healthcare professionals, it is a pattern that will resonate with anyone who feels responsible for keeping everything—and everyone—together.We explore the three mechanisms that can keep us trapped: the silence gap, the helping reflex and the mismatch between control and responsibility. Rachel also explains why “just say no” is rarely useful advice when saying no feels like a failure of identity rather than a straightforward practical decision.This is an important conversation about shame, boundaries, capacity and the difference between genuinely caring for others and automatically carrying responsibility for them.In this episode, we discuss:Why caring about something does not necessarily make you responsible for itThe subtle ways responsibility can land on us without being explicitly assignedThe silence gap, the helping reflex and the control–responsibility mismatchWhy shame often sits beneath an automatic “yes”Why logical advice about boundaries may not reach the real source of the problemHow to distinguish what you care about from what you can genuinely controlWhy saying yes when you cannot sustain it may simply create a deferred let-downThe limitations of telling people to become more resilient within structurally unhealthy systemsHow to begin making more conscious and sustainable choices about what you carryAbout Dr Rachel MorrisDr Rachel Morris is a former GP, the host of the You Are Not a Frog podcast and the creator of The Shapes Toolkit. Her work helps healthcare professionals and other people working in high-pressure roles beat stress, set healthier boundaries and work more sustainably—without believing they simply need to become tougher or more resilient.Connect with RachelWebsite: youarenotafrog.comInstagram and LinkedIn: @drrachelmorrisFree Overwhelm SOS Toolkit: youarenotafrog.com/overwhelmBeat Stress and Thrive course: The Shapes ToolkitIf this episode resonates with you, please subscribe to The Autoimmune RESET, leave a review and share it with someone who may be carrying more than is truly theirs.

  What do you find out about yourself when the mountain sends you back down? In this episode of On Adventure Podcast, Josh talks with Karl Frank, a Colorado native, mountaineer, and President of A&I Wealth Management in Denver. Karl grew up hiking out the back door of his family's home at 7,000 feet, and he is now working his way through the Seven Summits. They discuss two very different trips up Kilimanjaro, a December summit of Aconcagua that most of the group did not finish, and a winter ascent of Mount Whitney where a single misstep by a teammate would have taken everyone off the wall. Underneath the stories is a running theme: the mistakes Karl remembers most are the ones that came from being sure of himself. In This Episode Growing up in the Colorado foothills and hiking alone as a kid Why he keeps looking for a personal limit he has not found yet Turning back at 16,000 feet on Kilimanjaro, and the trail that opened up because of it Altitude, arrogance, and the medical help he did not ask for Summiting Aconcagua in a bad weather year Frostbite, impaired judgment, and gear left in the pack Training on stairs and the Manitou Incline The Seven Summits plan, and why Denali is the hard one Faith, quiet, and the spiritual pull of high places Being genuinely afraid of heights and climbing anyway Episode Chapters 00:00 – The question behind every conversation Josh explains what he is really after: not the summit list, but the reward that keeps people going back. 01:00 – Growing up in the Colorado foothills Karl describes a childhood spent hiking alone at 7,000 feet, thirty years of marriage, and how easily you can lose yourself inside what you build. 02:30 – Two very different trips up Kilimanjaro A chest cold on a dry, dusty Lemosho Route turns into a turnaround at Barranco Wall, and a rare descent down the Umbwe Route. 05:00 – A Land Cruiser ambulance and a one room clinic The evacuation, the doctor who was unimpressed with his symptoms, and an antibiotic that is not sold for humans in the United States. 07:30 – When the detour becomes the trip Josh draws the parallel to planning. The contingency you never wrote down is sometimes the part you remember. 10:30 – Aconcagua in December Mendoza, a guide who has done the mountain sixty times, camps at 14,000 through 19,600 feet, and a summit on day twelve of a nineteen day window. 14:45 – A leveled camp and how you respond A climber walks into camp smiling after a night of 100 mile per hour winds, a collapsed tent, and altitude sickness. Karl's takeaway is about not judging what you can see. 16:00 – Turning around, frostbite, and judgment at altitude How Karl decides to push on or stop, the heavy gloves he carried and did not wear, and why you spot impairment in your partners long before yourself. 21:00 – Stairs, the Manitou Incline, and the Seven Summits His training approach, plus what is next: Carstensz Pyramid, then Denali, and why Denali is considered the hardest of the seven. 30:30 – Why he keeps going back Karl says he feels most alive when he is a little bit in danger, and explains the spiritual weight the mountains carry for him. 31:45 – The most dangerous moment: Mount Whitney in winter A traverse across concrete snow, a fifty meter runout, and a stretch where the outcome was entirely out of his hands. 38:30 – Calm, faith, and a droplet of water What he has learned about himself, and a Buddhist image about how briefly any of us are here. 43:45 – Facing a little fear, often Karl is afraid of heights. He explains how repeated small exposure lets him stay steady when the stakes are real. 46:30 – Skiing kids, football, and building A&I Raising three mogul skiers, a college football injury that changed his direction, three master's degrees, and how A&I Wealth Management got its name. Memorable Quotes "What's my personal limit? I haven't found it yet, so I keep pushing to find it." "You miss out on who you are if you just think about what you build." "It's how you respond to what the world lays out on you." "I feel most alive when I'm a little bit in danger." "We're here for just a little bit." Key Takeaways Turning around is not the same as failing. The Kilimanjaro attempt Karl did not finish sent him down a trail few climbers are permitted to use, and he counts it among the best hikes of his life. Arrogance is the real altitude risk. Two physicians in his group were carrying a full medical kit. He never asked, because he was the guy from the big mountains. Carrying the right gear is only half of it. He had his heaviest gloves in his pack on Aconcagua and skipped them to move fast. He lost the skin on the tips of all ten fingers and toes. Getting up is optional. Getting down is not. The summit is the halfway point, and most of the trouble starts after it. Face a little fear on purpose. Small, repeated exposure is what builds the calm you need when a situation turns serious. Nobody goes couch to Aconcagua. Capability gets layered in over years, and that is true well outside the mountains.

A rancher outside Kansas City put collars on 30 cows and went from moving them every two days to every four or five days on the same ground, at the same cow condition. That is double the carrying capacity overnight, and we spent most of this episode on how virtual fencing works and what it costs. The collar runs $280 plus a subscription. Users report getting back 8 to 10 hours a week. The GPS is accurate to about 4 or 5 feet, which is roughly one fat cow in any direction. One challenger cow averaged 800 sound warnings a day for three weeks, about one every 30 seconds she was awake, while other cows in the same group got one a week. When a cow does get out, she is back inside 80 percent of the time within 5 to 10 minutes, because her friends are still there. There are around 6,000 of these collars in North America and they only started selling here in June. Then we put the skeptic hat on. What happens to your herd if the company runs out of money. Who owns the data. Why he tells customers to never trust a virtual fence alone along a highway, because the liability is too big. And what happens to cattlemen when Silicon Valley decides cattle are a robotics problem. Also in this one: an engineer who quit a VP title in Norway, visa on Monday and a plane on Friday, a farmhouse built in 1318 and the man who will not give it up, why so many farmers keep a town job for the insurance, and what a Norwegian thinks of American water, groceries, and youth sports. Low profit is the one problem every farmer in every country has in common. The other is that not one of them thinks he owns the land. What do you want us to dig into next week?

What if one of the most powerful things a man can do is stop trying to do life alone? In this conversation, Nick Papadopoulos—affectionately known as Coach Nick, and I talk about why men sharing what's really going on increases quality of live and even saves lives.  Carrying shame, fear, grief, uncertainty, and struggle alone is exhausting—and often keeps men from the connection, creativity, energy, and support they need. Nick has spent 25 years as an executive coach and men's group facilitator helping men create more meaningful, purposeful lives. He's also the Amazon bestselling author of The Men's Group: A Novel of Messy Friendships. Nick shares four pillars for a more fulfilling life: Sharing: Getting what's inside you out of your head can reduce shame and help you see things differently Contribution: Helping someone else can sometimes be the path out of your own despair Bringing Your A Game:  Goals and purposeful action help you step back into "the arena" Redefining Masculinity: When success isn't measured only by what you accomplish, earn, or provide We also talk about the difference between being in the arena and sitting in the stands, why secrets can drain your creativity and resourcefulness, and how choosing who you want to be can matter more than what you accomplish. And we get into a question I think is especially important for men today: What if being a protector and provider isn't a reason to protect everyone from your inner world? What if vulnerability is actually a big part of your power? If you've been carrying something alone, this conversation is your reminder that you don't have to.   Connect with Nick Nick's instagram Take the quiz: Find out what's getting in the way of your best love and sex life Book a free Effortless Love & Sex Consultation with Shana     Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/prigida/burbleLicense code: JYEBEACXSYUOYD5E

This episode breaks down the immediate market reactions to Kevin Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole speech regarding persistent inflation. With economic data remaining elevated and geopolitical tensions causing unexpected oil spikes, the likelihood of rate cuts continues to fluctuate, creating unique challenges for both commercial and residential lending environments.The discussion also explores the approaching "silver tsunami" in the US housing market, examining how the demographic shift of baby boomers selling their homes will impact supply and pricing over the next decade. Finally, the episode outlines three critical benchmarks to measure true financial health and shares a highly effective, unconventional relationship-building strategy previously utilized by Bill Clinton.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDKevin Warsh's hawkish inflation warning at the Jackson Hole summitS&P 500 earnings growth and ongoing corporate profitabilityGeopolitical conflicts and their direct impact on global oil pricesFederal Reserve interest rate policy and shifting rate cut probabilitiesThe demographic silver tsunami preparing to hit the US housing marketMedian household net worth benchmarks broken down by age groupThe significant financial advantage of maintaining zero credit card debtBill Clinton's "one at a time" networking and relationship-building secretKEY TAKEAWAYSDespite elevated interest rates, corporate earnings in the S&P 500 continue to rise, showing underlying resilience in the broader stock market.The cost of capital remains the primary headwind for real estate, making both commercial and residential lending exceptionally difficult for institutions to navigate profitably.As baby boomers age out of homeownership, the housing market will see an influx of supply that younger, smaller demographic generations may struggle to financially absorb.Actively investing in the stock market puts you ahead of 38% of Americans, emphasizing the long-term importance of consistent financial participation.Carrying zero credit card debt is one of the most accurate indicators of long-term financial stability and wealth-building potential.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONVisit skylineocresidences.com to discover luxury homeownership and exceptional value at Skyline OC.Invest in the Imagos Income Fund for steady passive returns targeting 10%.

Ramit unpacks how resentment, unequal workloads, and conflicting ideas about money can push a marriage to breaking point, even when the numbers suggest a couple should be doing well. Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich speaks with Lauren and Robert, a married couple who have spent years building resentment around work, spending, and who carries the financial load. Lauren works three jobs, often 55–60 hours a week, while managing most of their finances. Robert, a retired Navy veteran who once believed retirement meant he wouldn't need to work again, has recently returned to work. On paper, they're doing better than they think, but they have just $24,000 in savings, around $70,000 in debt, fixed costs at 81%, and almost nothing currently being directed toward savings or investments. Along the way, a $700,000 inheritance, a $40,000 pool scam, a $3,200 bounce house, and a $150,000 pool became major sources of conflict. Lauren believes Robert needs to earn more. Robert feels like his opinion often doesn't matter because Lauren earns more. But Ramit quickly discovers that more income isn't going to solve what's happening between them. Their resentment has reached the point where they've talked about divorce. To move forward, they'll need to stop keeping score, create a shared vision for their money, and learn how to operate as a team. A special thanks to DeleteMe for sponsoring this episode.
