Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye respond to questions from the listeners, including whether lay people should go to seminary, how important is attending a church after being hurt by one, and whether Christians should make violent video games. They also venture into theological topics like what pronouns are appropriate for God, what doctrines do we emphasize too much, and why they all think telling kids to “ask Jesus into your heart” is a bad idea. The crew also revisits the topic of Project 2025 and whether they regret their dismissive opinions about it from before the election. Also this week—Skye reveals plans for his new project with Holy Post Media, and one listener's question prompts Kaitlyn to make a big announcement.

Pope Francis passed away at the age of eighty-eight on Easter Monday. He was the first pope from Latin America, the first Jesuit pope, and the first pope to take the name “Francis,” after St. Francis of Assisi. What stood out in his twelve-year pontificate? How does his papacy compare with those of his immediate predecessors, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope St. John Paul II? What should we continue to champion from Francis' legacy as the Church charts her course into the future? Today we discuss Pope Francis' influence on both the Church and the world. A listener asks how to deal with regret from the past.  00:00 | Introduction 01:21 | Meeting Pope Francis 04:33 | Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI 06:36 | Pope Francis as first Latin-American pope 08:10 | Pope Francis as first Jesuit pope 10:22 | Pope Francis as first to be called “Francis” 11:09 | Master of the beau geste 13:36 | The Church as “field hospital” 15:16 | Resisting a “technocratic mindset” 19:01 | Clarifying the “universal designation of goods” 21:24 | Understanding the “two popes” 26:11 | Concerns about Francis's papacy 29:37 | Pope Francis's perception of the American church 32:25 | Honoring Pope Francis's legacy 33:50 | Listener question: How do I let go of regrets? 35:24 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: Pope Francis Resources: https://www.wordonfire.org/pope-francis/ Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!

A bill that would clarify when Texas physicians can legally perform an abortion to save a mother's life unanimously passed the state Senate on Tuesday. Senate Bill 31, also known as the Life of the Mother Act, would allow doctors to intervene and provide abortion care to pregnant women who are experiencing medical emergencies. In other news, Texas health officials reported 17 new measles cases on Tuesday, bringing the total confirmed cases since late January to 663. The state's public health department estimates that fewer than 10 of the confirmed cases — about 1% — are “actively infectious.”; one Monday last fall, only about half of Cleburne students showed up to class. The reason for such low attendance? Families were fearful after threats of violence against Cleburne ISD campuses had zoomed across Snapchat in the days before. Similar scares have become common, a trend that's strained police resources, led to the arrests of young children and interrupted students' focus in the classroom; and H-E-B is ready to open its first namesake store in North Texas. The company will officially launch on May 14 in Melissa at 6 a.m. The San Antonio grocer's new store is at 1230 Central Expressway, near the intersection of U.S. Highway 75 and State Highway 121.

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave SmithHost: David SmithGuest: Spirited JourneyIn this compelling follow-up conversation, David Smith and Spirited Journey tackle the layered and controversial issues surrounding gender identity, medical ethics, and parental involvement. The episode explores the real-world implications of schools using and withholding students' preferred pronouns from parents, and how that might relate to a broader “slippery slope” involving medical decisions like puberty blockers.The conversation draws parallels with long-standing debates, such as minors accessing birth control without parental consent. However, as David and Spirited Journey emphasize, the stakes are arguably higher when it comes to irreversible medical interventions. They critique the lack of long-term studies on puberty blockers and challenge the idea that these treatments are always “completely reversible.”Listener messages add depth and nuance, offering perspectives on conversion therapy, parental roles, and the consequences of institutional overreach. One listener raises a poignant scenario involving interracial relationships and parental prejudice, asking where schools should draw the line in protecting or informing parents.David and Spirited Journey also dive into the politics of academia, referencing research showing open discrimination against conservatives in psychology, and how ideological bias may shape the type of research that gets funded and published. The episode closes with case studies illustrating the real-world consequences of medical decisions made too early, too quickly, and possibly under pressure from societal norms.Follow me and find More of My Content with link belowhttps://linktr.ee/andanotherthingwithdave[04:16] Slippery slope: From pronouns to medical decisions in schools[05:08] Puberty blockers, long-term effects, and medical reversibility[06:28] Criticism of priorities: Pronouns vs. real-life preparedness[07:20] Clarifying the difference between affirmation therapy and conversion therapy[08:21] Advocacy for equality while critiquing current practices[09:16] Discrimination in academic publishing based on political views[11:08] Bias in research and funding: Is ideology replacing science?[12:13] When did DSM definitions of transgender identity change—and why?[14:13] Listener scenario: Should schools tell parents about interracial relationships?[15:19] Government neutrality in personal identity matters[17:05] Call for better school funding and more school-based mental health services[18:22] Case studies: The consequences of early medical intervention in childrenGender identity in schoolsPronouns and parental rightsPuberty blockers and informed consentPolitical bias in academic researchSchool policies and transparencyCase studies on medical ethicsDSM and transgender diagnosisConservative representation in psychologyMental health in schoolsYouth rights vs. parental rights#PodcastWithDave #AndAnotherThing #ParentalRights #PubertyBlockers #SchoolTransparency #PronounDebate #AffirmativeCare #TransYouth #MedicalEthics #PoliticalBias #PsychologyResearch #DSM5 #GenderIdentity #ConservativeVoices #YouthMentalHealth #EducationPolicy #CaseStudies #InformedConsent

Recent studies have confirmed that the constant presence and use of tech in our lives have become a hazard to our well-being on multiple levels.  Meditation teacher, mindful tech designer, and self-identified tech lover Jay Vidyarthi observes, “It's okay to enjoy technology.

Seed oils often get a bad rap, but the real culprit isn't the seeds themselves it's the way they're processed. This breakdown explains the difference between consuming whole, natural seeds like almonds and walnuts versus the toxic effects of industrial seed oils.

Does your school have mission, vision, and values statements? Who knows about them? We're probably all familiar with these three terms and in this episode, Merle Burkholder offers simple definitions and provides clear examples of each one to refresh our usage. He also suggests a variety of means to communicate these guiding statements so that they can become second nature for you and your people. Merle brings many years of experience in church and organizational leadership including his work at Open Hands and Servant Institute. After working through definitions and examples of guiding statements Merle explains four elements of an organization that can be used to measure its health and life-stage from birth to death. It's a useful grid for evaluating the health of a school. On that note, this episode echoes our last episode on evaluation. Merle proposes that, “People produce what you measure.” Clear guiding statements, particularly core values, give you an effective basis to evaluate your school. Merle was addressing leaders of different types of organizations. Where Merle discusses the responsibilities of a leadership team and CEO in carrying the vision, I think we can insert the school board and administrator. You might consider going back to episode 14 by Steven Brubaker outlining the role of an administrator who works at the intersection of the various parties involved in a school. Finally, it is possible for a school team to share a vision that is sufficiently vivid and understood to occasionally take away your breath and consistently guide your decision-making. May this strengthen your gains here or guide your steps in that direction.

Clarifying Misconceptions of the Ashaa'irah - Ustadh Abu Mussab Wajdi Akkari by Understanding Islam

Watch this episode on YouTube.Ross Geiger is Co-Founder & President at Ciro, a YC-backed tech startup. His LinkedIn says he is “On a journey to understand & elevate the craft of Sales.” And he participated in the 2024 Soulful Impact Vision Quest.If that combination makes you raise an eyebrow, you're not alone. Ross is a unique and deeply multifaceted individual. Which is part of why I was so excited to invite him onto the show.Through guiding Ross on his quest, I got to witness his incredible depth. I had the opportunity to walk beside him as he did a very scary and courageous thing. He stepped away from a very full life to spend several days alone in the wilderness with no food. He ceremonially released the control of his ego so that he could dive deeper within himself than ever before and connect with the truth at the center of his calling.The result was profound. I'm incredibly grateful to Ross for his willingness to share some of that experience with you directly through this episode.A core theme we explore in this conversation is how the setting and structure of the quest supported Ross in putting his ego aside, how this enabled a realization of his innate worthiness, and how that spark opened the door for his soul to speak.We also explore what integration has been like for him so far, what's alive for him now in this next layer of his journey, and how he's finding deep soulful alignment without needing to make major shake-ups to the external realities of his life (which is something people often expect to happen after a vision quest).In this way, Ross' story is a powerful example of how it's really the internal shift that counts. When we consciously live and act from a place of soul, we are guided to make soulful impact in beautiful and unexpected ways.Enjoy!Links & Resources* Connect with Brooks on Instagram or LinkedIn* Soulful Impact: soulfulimpact.co* Connect with Ross on LinkedIn* Check out Ross' company, CiroChapters00:03:28 Introduction and Journey Overview00:06:24 Personal Background and Call to the Quest00:09:30 Preparation for the Vision Quest00:12:31 Experiencing the Quest: Inner Work and Transformation00:15:22 The Role of Nature and Wilderness in Healing00:18:40 Insights Gained from the Quest00:21:28 The Importance of Authenticity and Self-Expression00:24:15 Messages from the Soul and Personal Craft00:27:21 Reflections on the Quest Experience00:30:32 Future Directions00:44:01 Believing You're Enough00:46:06 The Journey of Self-Discovery00:51:50 Nature as a Teacher00:53:43 Understanding Our Place in Nature00:59:51 The Power of Asking for Support01:04:51 Embodying Soul in Leadership01:10:36 The Importance of Personal Transformation01:14:40 Integration After the Quest01:20:33 Advice for Future Questers—Get newsletter updates & future episodes delivered to your inbox: Subscribe to Soulful Impact on Substack Get full access to Soulful Impact at www.soulfulimpact.blog/subscribe

Methylene blue has been going viral recently and not always for the right reasons.... or so their claimers make it seem. The most recent example of this is Dr. Paul Saladino's video he posted on social media he states that methylene blue actually "decreases ATP production" amongst other rationales for why people should not be consuming this mitochondrial-boosting agent. In the beginning of todays episode, I thoroughly and clearly state my thoughts on Dr. Saladino's hot take.The second topic entails a prelude about deuterium: what it is, how it impacts our mitochondrial function and some strategies to help mitigate its negative effects. We first discuss deuterium, because the research article we cover today is about taurine and its implications for helping the body produce deuterium-depleted water and/or helping the body decrease its deuterium content altogether. This not only has implications for overall health, but countless diseases and cancers as well. If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

Policy in Washington is in flux—and our clients had questions. Lots of them. Following Bluefield's recent client webcast, Uncertain Times: The State of Water Policy in Washington, podcast host Reese Tisdale and Senior Research Director Greg Goodwin reconvene to answer the questions they didn't have time to address live. In this episode, they unpack critical developments shaping the water sector—from funding volatility and regulatory shifts to cross-border tensions and infrastructure outlooks. Topics covered, questions answered: Is Bluefield's market sizing number across main verticals total or annualized? If the San Francisco vs. EPA court decision will lead to more niche requirements, will permitting get more complicated? Are Chicago's US$15B consent decree costs included in the municipal total? Underestimated? What does a second Trump administration mean for the digital water market? Will agencies like USGS be affected too? Can you break down the US$13B in impounded funding? Which programs were impacted? Project 2025 and Mandy Gunasekara's take on increased SRF funding—realistic or contradictory? With Russian gas returning, how does U.S. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) outlook impact water markets? Is the Boundary Waters Treaty or International Joint Commission under threat? Are manufacturers reshoring due to political pressure? Has the federal share of water infrastructure funding declined—and where is it heading?

At Talking Real Money, we're here to reinforce core investing principles: diversify, plan carefully, and never attempt to predict market swings—a point underscored by famed hedge fund manager Ray Dalio, who advocates holding multiple uncorrelated asset classes rather than timing market downturns. Dalio warns of economic shocks comparable to past crises like the dot-com bust but emphasizes preparation, not prediction, urging investors to diversify across stocks and bonds to mitigate volatility. We explore the practicalities of bond investing, noting bond ladders as a potential strategy, though bond funds usually suffice for most investors. Additionally, we caution against market timing, highlighting that missing just a few of the market's best days over decades could dramatically reduce returns. Ultimately, successful investing relies on consistent strategy and prudent allocation—not reactionary moves based on fear or speculative predictions. 1:58 Dimensional Funds documentary discussion 2:38 Hedge fund manager Ray Dalio's predictions and strategy 3:58 Dalio emphasizes asset diversification 5:48 Comparing podcast viewership and popularity 8:05 Critique of leveraged ETFs and annuities 11:10 Preparation beats market timing 14:57 Bond ladders vs. bond funds explained 19:06 Bond market volatility in downturns 21:45 Listener question on tax-efficient bond investing 26:58 Dangers of market timing highlighted 31:18 Clarifying listener confusion about RMDs 35:27 Advice on state-specific tax consultation Learn more about your ad choices.
