In this powerful episode of Apostle Talk, host Dave Bigler sits down with Ben Deeb, a quad-certified peer professional (CRPA, CJSR, PSP, CARC) and Center Staff Supervisor at Healing Springs Recovery Community and Outreach Center in Saratoga County, New York. Ben shares his raw, redemptive journey from severe cocaine addiction, repeated arrests (around 15 times), homelessness, and incarceration to becoming a transformative leader in recovery support. He candidly discusses how substance use disorders and mental health challenges affect a vast majority of the incarcerated population, the lack of meaningful rehabilitation or wraparound services in the justice system, and how a divine encounter with God during one of his jail stays ignited lasting change. Ben now supervises peer professionals, spearheaded the development of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs, recovery units, and reentry initiatives in the Saratoga County jail, helping justice-impacted individuals find hope, stability, and freedom.The conversation highlights the systemic failures in treating addiction as a moral failing rather than a health issue, the vital role of peer support and faith in recovery, and Ben's ongoing mission to train others and expand programs that bridge jail to community reintegration. This episode is a stirring testimony of God's redemptive power, the importance of compassion over judgment, and practical steps toward breaking cycles of addiction and recidivism. If you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or passionate about justice reform and recovery advocacy, Ben's story offers encouragement and real-world insight.If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, reach out for help:Healing Springs Recovery Community: (518) 306-3048https://preventioncouncil.org/healing-springs/Shelters of Saratoga:(518) 581-1097https://sheltersofsaratoga.org/Subscribe for more inspiring testimonies of faith, recovery, and transformation.

After another Bears miracle finish and postgame exclamation point, it's worth asking: Is head coach Ben Johnson more valuable as a play-caller or motivational speaker?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/shaw-local-s-bears-insider-podcast--3098936/support.
Leila Rahimi, Marshall Harris and Mark Grote were joined by Score football analyst Patrick Mannelly to share his takeaways from the Bears' 31-27 win against the Packers on Saturday in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs. In Mannelly's mind, quarterback Caleb Williams' postgame speech in the locker room reflected how the Bears are now "his team."
-Everyone saw the quick handshake that Johnson gave Packers' coach Matt LaFleur after the Bears finished off the comebackvs. Green Bay, and then there was audio seen in the locker room of Johnson saying, “F*** the Packers!”-He was asked about that on Monday and why he said it, to which he replied: “I don't like that team. This is a rivalry. The city ofChicago, Green Bay---it needs to be a rivalry.” Beautiful and correct.Our Sponsors:* Check out Aura.com: https://aura.com/remove* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Buzz buzz buzz Yellowjackets Hive, and welcome back for another hiatus episode. While this isn't a character deep dive per se, I figured it was only fair to give Coach Ben his fifteen minutes in the spotlight after everything he's been through.Regardless of whether you were a Coach Ben stan or despised him, there is no denying how much his death served as the catalyst for everything that we saw unfold at the tail end of season three and what's still to come in the final season. He really was the bridge!We will discuss Coach Ben's character arc overall and how integral he was in driving things forward, some "issues" regarding him within the fandom, and just show him a little love. As always, thanks for watching/listening :)
In this weeks episode of the Better With Running Podcast features Run2PB Coach Ben Stolz and athlete Shaun White, return to the show to recap Shaun's spectacular 2025 running season. Following a strategic focus on speed development, Shaun achieved a string of major Personal Bests (PBs), including significant improvements in the 3K, 5K (15:25), 10K (32:02), and Half Marathon. This performance surge was a deliberate part of Coach Stolz's plan to boost Shaun's foundational speed and power, setting the stage for a strong marathon attempt at Berlin Marathon, with tough conditions, we hear about how that all went down, including his fuel plans,and some training partners, who left Chriso speechless with the carb intake!Reflecting on his breakout season, Shaun and Ben highlighted several key takeaways for listeners. Shaun credits his success to consistency in training and adding strength training, which he had previously avoided for 20 years. He strongly encourages other marathon runners to "back themselves in" and focus on getting quicker at shorter distances like the 3K and 5K, asserting that this speed and confidence naturally translate into better marathon performances. The episode also touches on his shoe rotation.With thanks to Oat Running our partner, Listeners of the show can get a a 15% discount using "run2pb15" at the check out. Visit www.oatrunning.com.au

How does Ben Crowe get elite athletes to the top of their game? What he asks footballers, surfers and tennis players to do seems counter intuitive, and a lot of the work happens off the field. (R)Ben Crowe is a mindset coach who has worked with elite athletes like surfer Steph Gilmore, tennis superstar Ash Barty, and the Richmond Football Club.But Ben's method of coaching seems counter-intuitive.Rather than telling these athletes they're the best, he encourages them to own their flaws, make sense of their life stories off the field, prioritising vulnerability and human connection, so they can take both wins and losses in their stride.

Ben Gioia helps entrepreneurs write high-quality, client-attracting books in just five weeks using his “Influence with a Heart” method. He shows busy professionals how to stay productive without burnout, even with just 20 minutes a day.

Episode 260 of the Fit Father Project Podcast. In this candid, practical conversation, Ben Sterling sits down with host Dr. Anthony Balduzzi to unpack a stacked season—family stress, celebrations, grief, and schedule chaos—and how he kept momentum without chasing perfection. You'll hear the real story behind Ben's “anchor habits” (hydration, morning light, walks, protein-first meals) and how he flexes the variables—training volume, carb intake, and fasting windows—when life gets loud. The result is a repeatable framework for staying consistent when motivation is thin.We also go deep on training smarter over 40: when to deload (and what that actually looks like), how to scale carbs to match workout demand, and simple injury work-arounds that protect knees and shoulders while you keep making progress. Ben shares shoulder and spine “hygiene” you'll actually do in 5–10 minutes a day—think hangs, traction, and elbows-in pressing tweaks—plus a short, plug-and-play routine for high-stress weeks.Finally, with candy season and holidays looming, Dr. A and Ben lay out a guilt-free playbook: plan one discrete splurge, donate the leftovers, and pair big meals with glycogen-draining training or a short reset fast so you refill muscle, not waistline. If you've been juggling responsibilities, emotions, and aches—and still want forward motion—Episode 260 gives you the mindset, micro-habits, and on-the-ground tactics to turn any setback into your next comeback.Key TakeawaysKeep 2–3 anchors non-negotiable (e.g., AM/PM walks, hydration, daylight).Training is a stressor—on high-stress weeks, deload beats grinding harder.Scale carbs to training demand; fasting is fine when appetite dips.Celebrate on purpose, once, and move on—avoid “carryover calories.”Don't push through sharp pain; modify exercises and investigate imbalances.Shoulder comfort loves elbows-in pressing and smart exercise selection.Daily “spine hygiene” (hangs, gentle traction, rolling) pays off fast.For candy season: plan a discrete splurge, donate the rest, and reset.Empty the “carb buckets” (training + fasting) before big-carb events.Meaning-making matters: channel grief/stress into purposeful action.Try Suji and Build Lasting Strength with Less Joint Strain To learn more about the Suji portable compression training device, visit https://www.trysuji.com/ and use code FITFATHER for 20% off your first order.Fit Father Featured EventsFit Father / Fit Mother LIVE 2026 — August 7–9, 2026 Super Early Bird pricing now through Dec. 1.
