Send us Fan MailAI is everywhere in pharma right now, yet drug development still feels slow, fragmented, and full of avoidable rework. We sit down with Anastasia Christianson, former SVP and Global Head of AI Data and Analytics at Pfizer and now Managing Principal at EPAM Life Science Consulting, to get specific about what actually blocks progress in clinical trials and what AI can realistically change.We dig into the uncomfortable pattern behind many “successful” AI deployments: a model fixes one bottleneck, then the system simply jams up somewhere else. Anastasia makes the case for end to end thinking across trial design, feasibility, patient recruitment, engagement, site operations, and data flow. We talk about why niche AI products are easier to build, why coordination is harder than modelling, and how digital health's app explosion offers a warning for today's AI tooling. Along the way, we unpack digitalisation, data standards, FAIR data, and why “perfect data” is not the same as “useful data”.The most practical segment centres on patients: how AI can help build cohorts, find eligible participants, answer questions, reduce fear, improve convenience, and prevent dropouts that cost time and money. We also turn FDA denials into a quick quiz to highlight a key truth of life sciences innovation: approvals can fail due to control arm choices, surprising trial requirements, or manufacturing site inspection findings even when the science looks promising.If you care about AI in clinical trials, R&D productivity, and how to turn data into faster access to medicines, you'll get both a reality check and a playbook.

Jimmy Bechtel sits down with Dr. Anastasia Christianson, former senior innovation leader at Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, to talk about what a real AI strategy actually looks like in clinical research. They dig into why isolated pilots fall short, how to think about AI as a process change rather than a tool add-on, and where the biggest missed opportunities are right now. Dr. Christianson also shares her take on navigating evolving regulations and paints a picture of where clinical trials are headed over the next three to five years, including a future where no trial launches without first being simulated end to end.
When life doesn't unfold the way you expected, where do you turn for peace?In this episode, Molly Christianson shares her journey through some deeply personal challenges—including divorce and navigating the complex emotions that come when children choose a different spiritual path.Rather than becoming bitter or fearful, Molly has learned to approach these experiences with greater compassion, perspective, and trust. In this honest conversation, she shares the hard moments, what helped her move forward, and the wisdom she's gained along the way.If you've ever wondered how to hold on to love and peace when family relationships get complicated, this episode will speak to your heart.Connect with Shiree at shireebest.com Join the "Just Love Them" Facebook groupEmail Shiree at imlivinginjoy@gmail.com
In this episode, Leanne Woehlke sits down with Dr. Anastasia Christianson, a seasoned pharmaceutical leader with over 30 years of experience across major companies including AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Johnson & Johnson. Now a consultant and advisor to emerging innovators, Anastasia shares a grounded perspective on the evolving role of AI in life sciences.The conversation moves beyond AI hype to practical application, emphasizing that while AI is already improving operational efficiency across drug discovery and clinical trials, its greatest potential lies in unlocking innovation, surfacing insights hidden within complex datasets that humans alone cannot easily detect.A central theme is the need to address systemic bottlenecks in clinical trials holistically rather than incrementally. Anastasia highlights how optimizing one step often shifts inefficiencies downstream, advocating instead for end-to-end transformation. The discussion explores persistent challenges in patient recruitment, including site bias, limited access to diverse populations, and underutilized direct-to-patient strategies.Leanne and Anastasia also examine the importance of patient-centric design, ensuring trials are accessible, understandable, and engaging to improve retention and outcomes. They discuss the promise of AI-enabled solutions such as virtual waiting rooms, decentralized trials, and multi-trial matching systems that could dramatically improve the patient experience.The episode closes with insights for entrepreneurs entering the AI healthcare space, stressing the importance of data integrity, bias mitigation, validation, and clear market positioning. Ultimately, Anastasia frames AI as a potential “universal equalizer” in healthcare, if implemented responsibly, ethically, and with the right data foundation.To learn more about Dr Anastasia Christianson:https://www.linkedin.com/in/anastasiac/

2 Samuel 11-14 In the last 10 chapters, David has resisted harming or killing Saul, and David inquired of the Lord and obeyed him. In 2 Samuel 11-14, the story takes a marked pivot. David violated and killed, and the consequences were great and generational. In these chapters, David “utterly scorned” the LORD, and didn't lead his family. In the previous chapters of 1-2 Samuel, we had a vision for a godly generational reign; in these chapters, David's sons are repeating--and outdoing--the sins of their father. It would be tempting to despair: will another king lose his anointing? Are our sins more powerful than God's plan? Can we trust any king? Let's look and see!
Michael interviews track leader Greg Wilson about the “Hidden Abuse” track at the ABC (Called to Counsel) conference at Doxology Bible Church in Fort Worth, Texas. Wilson, a Dallas–Fort Worth biblical and licensed counselor who leads Soul Care Associates, introduces the track team: Chris Moles (PeaceWorks), Kirsten Christianson (Bethlehem Baptist Church), and Tim St. John (counseling pastor in Southern California). The track's objective is to help attendees recognize coercive control and other abuse that is often hidden in relationships, and to respond in ways that honor the Lord and help both victims and perpetrators. Wilson outlines eight sessions: fear in hidden abuse; identifying coercive behavior patterns; helping victims; two sessions on perpetrators and God's kingdom; two sessions on how coercive control thrives in churches and how churches can resist it; and a concluding Q&A panel. The track will use a case study (“Sarah”) from the Peace Interrupted podcast.00:00 Podcast Welcome00:19 Meet Greg Wilson01:29 Hidden Abuse Track01:52 Greg's Background02:56 Track Team06:23 Why Hidden Abuse08:45 Who Track Helps10:37 Eight Session Overview15:35 Q and A Panel16:38 Sarah Case Study18:34 Register and ClosingEpisode MentionsRegister for the ABC 2026 Called to Counsel Conference When Home Hurts: A Guide for Responding Wisely to Domestic Abuse in Your Church - Wilson & PierreThe Heart of Domestic Abuse: Gospel Solutions for Men Who Use Control and Violence in the Home - Moles Caring for Families Caught in Domestic Abuse: A Guide toward Protection, Refuge, and Hope - Moles, Christianson, Wilson, and OthersThe Path to Peace: A 90-Day Journey from Control to Christ-Like Love - Moles (Men of Peace Devotional) Sarah's Story - Peace Interrupted Youtube ChannelChrismoles.org
This week, we learned that David grew as a man after God's own heart and in his role as king by learning and remembering that “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers them out of them all.” (Ps 34.19) David experienced persecution, betrayal, false accusations, and many other afflictions. In Psalm 56, he lamented “man tramples me all day . . all day long an attacker oppresses me, they have waited for my life,” yet he continually called out to the LORD “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?” (Ps 56). 1 Samuel 21-26

In 1 Samuel 4-7, an important question is asked: “Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God?” Samuel's answer comes with a promise: To stand in the presence of the LORD, you must humbly repent of your dishonoring him, put away all your idols, and serve the LORD with your whole heart . . . and he will deliver you from the Philistines--or in our case, every weight and sin which clings so closely. Today, the call of the LORD to us is the same: With all your heart, humbly destroy the idols that gravely dishonor the Lord, and serve the LORD only. By faith in Jesus, we have the grace to stand in the presence of the LORD. Hallelujah!

Back to Nature Farms, located in Fremont, Neb.Operated by Chad and Dawn Christianson, “At Back to Nature Farms, we believe that healthy soil creates healthy plants, which leads to thriving animals supplying nutrient-dense food for you, our thriving customer.”You may have heard the term “regenerative agriculture” and may not understand what it is. We didn't fully understand the principles behind it either. In learning more, we were taught about the interaction between the soil, plants, animals, and ultimately human health – YOUR health.Centuries ago, animal migration was what fertilized and kept the ecosystem in check. The pressure of the animals moving along the soil, foraging the plants, and their ruminants (excrement) all had a major impact on the soil and plants, while giving the animals the proper nutrition they needed to move across the lands. We learned that by not having animals in our row cropping operation, we were giving you, the consumer, a mediocre product. Knowing our responsibility as stewards of the land and providing the best quality food for you, this was eye-opening to learn. We soon started custom-grazing cows on our cover crops during the fall/winter season, and this new adventure began. Soon, we had the opportunity to expand Back to Nature Farms.Little did we know that caring for and raising livestock would be such a joyful and rewarding addition to the farm and family. After rotational grazing of cattle in the fall and winter months, you will find chickens and pigs grazing in the spring and summer months in the pasture. Doing this helps make the soil even more fertile while they are free to eat bugs, scratch at the earth, root, dig and do everything a pig and chicken is naturally inclined to do. We value using honest business practices to produce healthy, nutrient-dense proteins with transparency, so you know where and how your food is raised. These practices allow the animals to flourish without the use of added hormones or antibiotics and pass that goodness on to you the way nature intended.We have all attended many seminars and conferences to help us learn and understand this cycle.We can never learn enough to keep expanding our knowledge and passion for regenerative agriculture.--Follow their endeavors:WEBSITE: www.backtonaturefarms.orgEMAIL: info@backtonaturefarms.orgPHONE: Chad - (402) 720-0593; Dawn - (402) 720-0108INSTA: @back.to.nature.farmsTIKTOK: back.to.nature.far www.cheerswithears.org@cheerswithears--Be sure to rate, review, and subscribe.HOST: Kerry HoffschneiderGUESTS: Chad & Dawn Christianson--CREDITS:Mitchell Roush, ProducerBibi Luevano, Cover ArtPurple Planet Music, Theme
God's Righteousness Lived Out: Honoring Convictions While Extending Grace In Romans 14, Paul provides categories and principles to foster unity among brothers with different consciences. He outlines that we believers, proceeding from faith, welcome and honor one another, put off passing judgment on one another in matters of conscience--because we live and die to the Lord--and instead, we pursue peace with each other, building up one another and God's kingdom of righteousness, PEACE, and joy! Whether we forsake or partake [fill in the blank!] because of our conscience, we are always to love.

God's Righteousness in Future Restoration | Romans 11 | Kïrsten Christianson Here in chapter 11, Paul proves God's righteous plan for future restoration with an argument that shows the intricacy, reveals at least some of the mystery, and underscores God's sovereignty in his election plan for his people. Paul's intention in writing this passage was to show us that God is righteous in all things--including in his plan of salvation for the Gentiles and the Jews--and that we can and should completely trust him to accomplish his perfect will for each and every one of us.

Can AI Replace Real Estate Relationships? What if the secret to thriving with AI isn't learning to be more like a machine – but discovering how to be more authentically human? That's the counterintuitive insight from Tara Christianson, who's spent over a decade helping agents navigate the intersection of technology and genuine connection. After delivering over 45 presentations across five Australian states, Tara has discovered something remarkable: the agents winning with AI aren't the ones replacing human touch with automation – they're the ones using technology to amplify their humanity.

Does attending a homeschool convention really help? In today's unique episode, Zan interviews two guests back to back. Nancy Manos has served as the director for a state homeschool convention and a national homeschool conference. She and Zan discuss why gathering with thousands of like-minded families transforms the homeschool experience. Zan then introduces Kristin Christianson, a second-generation homeschooling mom from North Dakota, whose first convention changed her life by eliminating her fears and letting her know she is not alone. The conversation highlights allowing children to learn at their own pace despite outside pressures and celebrates cherished books that span generations. Nancy Manos is a graduated homeschool mom of two. The homeschool convention has been a wonderful source of inspiration, encouragement, and practical help since Nancy started homeschooling in the mid-90s.

This week in Romans 6:12–23, Paul reminds us that because of what Christ did, we are not slaves to sin and our passions anymore. Instead, we have a new master, a master Paul calls Obedience, Righteousness, and finally, God. And what a gracious master God is! Under this new master, we have become obedient from the heart, we devote ourselves to righteousness, and we bear the fruit of sanctification by living unto God—for eternity. When we believe God, this is our reality, and Paul entreats us to live out of that reality. Sinclair Ferguson says it this way, “This is how we want to grasp Roman 6, not so that we understand it up here (gestures to head), and it is a challenge to grasp it up here, but so that it will create in (us) gospel instincts, affections, and emotions that are driven by the fact that we live the whole of our lives in union with Jesus Christ.”
This week Paul offered Father Abraham as an example of how to obtain righteousness with God—through Christ by faith alone. We learned that Abraham's faith was counted to him as righteousness BEFORE he was circumcised. God made a promise to and covenant with Abraham to redeem the world—both the circumcised AND the uncircumcised—and it would be carried out by Abraham believing God and his promises, not by his own keeping the law. When we are under grace, believing God, then our sin is forgiven and our faith is counted to us as righteousness. Abraham's faith was/is the model and the pointer to God's plan for his people.

As wildfires burn across L.A. — and my neighborhood evacuates — we thought it would be a good time to encore these Fire Ecology episodes so I can literally catch my breath. First Dr. Gavin Jones brings the heat talking about what fire is, how hot it burns, fire trends, tinderboxes, lots and lots of forest fire flim-flam, tolerant wombats, Angelina Jolie Movies, cunning pine cones, thick bark, Indigenous fire stewardship and more. After the break, co-host of the podcast Good Fire Dr. Amy Christianson talks about how cultural burns and prescribed blazes can create healthy forests. She also discusses Indigenous history, collaborations between Western science & First Nations elders, Aboriginal thoughts on cultural burns, more flim-flam, evacuations, snowmelt, hunting strategies, land stewardship, happy trees, climate strategies, and the social science behind wildfire education. Also learning from Native wildfire fighters. Huge thanks to her and Matt Kristoff -- who also hosts the Your Forest Podcast -- for allowing us to use excerpts from their interview to launch Good Fire.

Iodine is a critical nutrient for thyroid function, yet there is a lot of controversy around iodine and thyroid health. Unlike other nutrients, iodine is selectively taken up by the parts of the body that use it. This generally means that when it's in low supply, more is pulled in, and when there's too much, it's blocked from coming in. This creates the iodine paradox, where both excessive and insufficient iodine can lead to thyroid dysfunction.For people with autoimmune thyroid conditions, their genetic predispositions can impact how their bodies respond to iodine. So, while some people with thyroid conditions can tolerate and even benefit from iodine supplementation, for others, it can be problematic.Today, I'm joined by Dr. Alan Christianson, a board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist and author of the Thyroid Reset Diet, to talk about iodine, thyroid health, and thyroid antibodies. In this conversation, Dr. Christianson and I discuss iodine's role in thyroid health, the complexities of iodine uptake, genetic influences, potential risks of excessive iodine intake, the significance of thyroid antibodies, the risks and benefits of thyroid medication, and more.
