    Episode Description: It's December. Again. And the end-of-year chaos is real. This episode is your invitation to slow down, find comfort, and embrace joy through the art of going little. In this episode,  we explore the Danish concept of Hygge and I share simple, science-backed practices to help you pause, reset, and reclaim calm during the busiest season of the year. From holding a warm drink to creating a cozy nook, or winding down with an intentional end-of-day ritual, these small, intentional actions are ways to soothe your nervous system and reconnect with yourself. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How warmth can regulate your nervous system and reduce stress The power of sensory anchoring to calm your mind The concept of environmental containment and creating a cozy sanctuary How to create an End-of-Day Soft Landing for better rest Why doing less doesn't mean feeling less or being less Key Takeaway: Whether it's holding a warm drink, anchoring yourself in a favorite sensory cue, carving out a cozy nook, or gliding gently into sleep, each of these practices invites intentional ease. Go little. Comfort, joy, and presence are not indulgent; they're essential.

    Dave Schwartz had all the signs of worldly success. He was a high-level officer with a Fortune 500 company in the insurance and financial services industry for 25 years before starting a breakaway firm with a friend which grew to a hundred employees in three different states. Life was good. But after some deep, personal valleys—including two open-heart surgeries—God got Dave's attention in a powerful way and helped him to see that a check-the-box religion wasn't cutting it and something needed to change. Inspired by his now-wife's deep contentment and relationship with God, Dave also began to pursue a deeper relationship himself.   Selling interest in the company he helped start, Dave transitioned to the nonprofit sector where he vetted partners and handled donor funds. He then was invited to lead the missions programs at their church. Little did Dave know that this was laying the foundations for a God-sized vision on the other side of the world.   Dave and his wife became close with a Liberian family from their church, and in 2021, they had an opportunity to travel to Liberia, the eighth poorest country in the world. Experiencing the extreme poverty at an orphanage there planted a strong desire to do something to uplift the children of Liberia without just giving out hand-me-downs.   Now, after a few years of divine connections and miraculous generosity, ground will soon be broken for the Agape Empowerment Center, a 15-acre campus designed to raise Christ-centered Liberian leaders through housing, education, and holistic care. If you've ever wondered what it's like to build a vision from scratch, this episode is for you.   Major Topics Include: Becoming envious of contentment How the God-sized vision came together Governance, structure, and transparency  Giving a hand up without creating a cycle of dependency Building a culture one grade at a time Involving locals in the mission A hopeful view of the next 5 to 10 years How this experience has deepened Dave's faith The vision for agricultural and manufacturing enterprise zones Building community through collaboration Examining the ROI of philanthropic dollars QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Laying in the hospital in 2012, recovering from my second open-heart surgery, I realized it was time to make a change.” “What is a true relationship with our Savior versus a religious ‘check-the-box'?” “As I started to change from religion to a relationship with Jesus, contentment started to creep into my life and I had never really experienced that before.” “Liberia is the eighth poorest country in the world. Per person income on an annual basis is $530 USD.” “I made the very Western throw-away comment of ‘Gosh, Honey, someone's gotta do something about this.' Without missing a beat, my wife says, ‘What about us?' And that's how the Agape Empowerment Center got started.” “If we want them to become the best and to be Christ-centered children, well-educated, then let's start treating them like the best and stop just giving them our hand-me-downs.” “In five or ten years, I see children with joy and hope in their lives.” “I have learned that I absolutely have no control. I think I do, but I don't. And at the end of the day, this is God's plan or it's not. I just hope to be able to help implement it.” “I'm not going to retire, I'm going to re-fire.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Agape Empowerment Center When Helping Hurts (see our interview with coauthor Brian Fikkert) Convoy of Hope The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

    Most of us were taught to see Christmas through the lens of Easter: Jesus was born to die for our sins so we could all go to heaven. The whole story points to the cross. While that is true, it is not the whole picture. So we ask a different question in this episode:What were people celebrating before anyone knew how the story would end?We talk about the good news Jesus announced from the start:Hope for the poor. Freedom for the oppressed. Comfort for the brokenhearted. A new kind of kingdom for people who were tired of carrying heavy burdens. This episode is the side of Christmas many of us never heard growing up, and our hope is it changes the way you see Christmas this year.If you want to believe there is still something good in the middle of all of *this* - this episode is for you.The arrival of Jesus was never only about what would happen later. It was also about what he brought with him the moment he showed up.Restoration. Hope. A place to belong.Christ is born for you.

    This week on Wisdom From The Wardrobe, Bec delivers the "In the News" with a story that proves fashion doesn't always take itself too seriously. Enter the unexpected collaboration between BEIS and Chipotle: an eleven-piece luggage and accessories collection designed, apparently, to transport Chipotle to any destination effortlessly and chicly. From a napkin sling to a burrito-inspired crossbody and a full duffle bag, the team breaks down the buzz, the branding, and the growing appetite for playful fashion collaborations. From there, the conversation shifts to one of the most requested topics of the season: dressing for holiday gatherings. The stylists unpack what to wear for everything from ugly sweater invites and neighborhood get-togethers to office parties and more polished celebrations. Comfort is key, especially when non-breathable fabrics and long evenings are involved, but style doesn't have to be sacrificed. The team shares what they're seeing in stores right now, including plenty of sequins, cashmere, and velvet in every form. It's a practical, timely guide to navigating holiday dressing with confidence, comfort, and just the right amount of festive flair.

    If you've ever wondered what actually happens inside my group coaching calls — what women really ask, how specific the advice gets, and what it sounds like when we take your everyday style struggles and turn them into clear, doable next steps — today's episode is going to give you a front-row seat.   Because this is a live Q&A segment pulled straight from a real HER Style Collective coaching call. We're talking about the kinds of questions that pop up when you're standing in your closet, scrolling your phone, or hovering over the "checkout" button… Like how to actually stop impulse shopping, how to avoid outfit repetition, defining your personal style, and whether you can wear pure white in a way that still looks flattering even if it's technically not your "best" color.    This is the kind of personalized, nuanced guidance you don't get from a trend report or a quick tip on Instagram. It's coaching that helps you think differently about your wardrobe, so getting dressed feels easier, smarter, and more aligned with your unique life and goals.   If you want in-depth coaching from me just like this every single week, you can join us inside HER Style Collective today at herstylellc.com/collective.

    Send us a textWhat if your tent packed to a loaf of bread, your lantern doubled as a power bank, and your jacket helped manage heat without piling on layers? We dive into the gear that actually changes backcountry days: thin solar panels that keep phones and GPS units alive, ultralight shelters that shrug off storms, and smart fabrics that breathe, dry fast, and keep you moving when the weather flips.We share real-world wins and pitfalls with panels from BioLite and Goal Zero, inflatable solar lights, and the trade-offs of flexible solar fabrics. On the sleep front, we talk Dyneema tents under two pounds, compact pads with high R-values, and down bags that compress to grapefruit size. For water and food, we compare gravity filters to fast bottle purifiers, look at fuel-saving cook systems versus twig stoves, and consider where fire bans and treeless landscapes make “romantic” setups impractical. Power banks, rechargeables, and simple charging tactics round out a reliable off-grid kit.Safety and navigation get the same treatment. We explain how a ZOLEO or inReach keeps you connected without cell service and why offline topo apps like Gaia GPS and AllTrails Plus pair best with solid map-and-compass habits. Sustainability threads through it all: repair programs, recycled materials, canister refill tools, and choosing durable gear that lasts.

    This week's Advent message moves from “Christmas in the Beginning” to “Christmas in the Land”—from Genesis to Israel's longings. The land of Israel isn't just a location on a map; it's where God's promises took root through covenant, worship, prophecy, and expectation. The Messiah didn't arrive unannounced or detached—He came exactly as God promised, through the people God preserved, in the place God chose. We see this through five big themes: • God remembers His people (Hannah in 1 Samuel): God “remembering” is not forgetfulness—it's God choosing to act. Hannah's answered prayer becomes a key link in God's redemptive plan, leading to Samuel, David, and ultimately Jesus. Waiting isn't wasted—waiting is worship. • God dwells with His people (Solomon's temple in 2 Chronicles 6): The temple foreshadows something greater—God wouldn't just dwell in a building, but would one day dwell in a body. Jesus is the true temple: God with us, accessible, near, and present. • God shines light into darkness (Isaiah 9): Israel's darkness—political, moral, and spiritual—was met not with a policy or program, but with a Person: “Unto us a child is born.” Jesus doesn't merely bring light; He is the Light. • God comforts the weary (Isaiah 40): Biblical comfort isn't sentimental—it's certainty. God's comfort is a promise that the story isn't over and the King is coming. Comfort is not anesthesia; it's redemption that rewrites reality. • God gives a Shepherd King (Micah 5): The King comes from unlikely Bethlehem, showing God writes epics in overlooked places. This King is eternal, incarnate, and He Himself is our peace. The message closes with five applications for “Land Advent”: believe God remembers you, live with Emmanuel as present reality, walk in light instead of fear, receive God's comfort as truth (not just emotion), and follow the Shepherd King into peace—because Christmas isn't Plan B. It's the fulfillment of God's long-prepared promise.

    Romans 8 invites us into a profound meditation on suffering, creation, and the hope of glory that awaits us. We discover that suffering isn't something God overlooks—it's actually a tool He uses to shape us into mature believers who reflect His image. Like a silversmith heating silver until he can see his reflection in it, God allows trials to remove the impurities in our lives. The passage reveals something remarkable: all of creation is groaning alongside us, waiting for redemption. From the moment sin entered the world in Genesis 3, the ground was cursed with thorns and thistles, and decay became part of our reality. But creation hasn't given up hope. The seas, rivers, trees, and mountains all long for Christ's return when everything will be made new. Even the darkness at Christ's crucifixion and the earthquake that split rocks testified to creation's recognition of its Creator. We're challenged to examine whether we share creation's eager longing for Christ's return, or whether we've become so comfortable with our earthly blessings that we've lost our heavenly focus. The promise is breathtaking: God will replace every thorn with a cypress, every briar with a myrtle. He's making all things new, and our suffering is producing an eternal weight of glory beyond comparison.**Sermon Notes:****Introduction:**- Passage: Romans 8:17-25.- Central theme: The role of suffering in Christian maturity and the hope of future glory.**Key Themes:**1. **Suffering and Growth:**  - Suffering is universal and disliked but essential for Christian growth.  - Suffering isn't elective; it's a part of spiritual maturation.  - Personal anecdote: Grandson's struggle during a hike symbolizes how suffering can lead to growth.2. **Comfort and Complacency:**  - Modern comfort can lead to spiritual complacency.  - Reference to Revelation 3:14 (Laodicean church): They are lukewarm due to self-sufficiency and lack of spiritual hunger.  - Importance of recognizing need for God amid comfort.3. **Creation's Groaning:**  - Creation itself suffers due to sin and longs for redemption.  - Examples of nature's subjugation: thorns, decay, and futility.  - Biblical references: Genesis 3 (curse of the ground), and Isaiah's prophecy of renewal.4. **God's Sovereignty Over Nature:**  - God controls and commands creation.  - Examples: Darkness at Jesus' crucifixion, God stopping time for Joshua.  - Nature worships God through its existence and awaits His return.5. **Hope of Redemption:**  - Believers are like creation, groaning for relief and renewal.  - Hope is anchored in God's promise of a new heaven and earth (Revelation 21).6. **Practical Implications:**  - Self-reflection on spiritual readiness and eagerness for Christ's return.  - Challenge to embrace suffering as a path to spiritual growth.**Practical Applications:**1. **Embrace Suffering:**  - View personal hardships as opportunities for spiritual growth.  - Reflect on how challenges can refine character and increase reliance on God.2. **Combat Complacency:**  - Evaluate areas of life where comfort may have led to spiritual stagnation.  - Foster a genuine hunger for God through scripture and prayer.3. **Focus on Eternal Hope:**  - Regularly meditate on the promises of a renewed creation and eternal life.  - Shift perspective from earthly concerns to heavenly expectations.**Discussion Questions:**1. How has a specific period of suffering or hardship contributed to your spiritual growth?2. In what areas might comfort be hindering your spiritual zeal or dependence on God?3. How do you maintain hope and patience while waiting for the fulfillment of God's promises?4. In what ways can you remind yourself and others that this world is not our ultimate home?5. How do you actively prepare your heart and mind for Christ's return amidst the distractions of everyday life?By focusing on these themes and applications, we strive to not only understand the biblical text but also integrate its teachings into our daily lives, reinforcing our hope in Christ's imminent return and the inherent growth found through life's challenges.

    Political Poetry for Mental Health, Grief and Hope with Andrea W Ledew

    When the news cycle is loud and life is already heavy, your nervous system pays the bill. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu talks with Andrea W LeDew, a former lawyer and mother of four, about turning political stress, grief and caregiver burnout into something usable through poetry, journaling and structured creative expression. Andrea shares how parenting a son with autism and intellectual disabilities, managing estate responsibilities after losing both parents and living through pandemic-era uncertainty pushed her toward writing as a mental health tool. The conversation also goes straight at the uncomfortable stuff. Emotional eating as coping, self-compassion vs self-sabotage, activism vs burnout and how to stay engaged without spiraling into rumination. Andrea's book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prose frames writing as survival and invites listeners to process big emotions without pretending the world is not on fire. About the Guest: Andrea W LeDew is a former lawyer turned stay-at-home mother of four and a writer focused on poetry and essays that explore political change, civic identity and emotional resilience. Her book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prosebrings together years of work shaped by grief, caregiving and public events. Key Takeaways: Political stress is real mental load. Naming it reduces shame and makes it workable for mental health and emotional well-being. Writing can function like therapy when it helps you feel, label and metabolize grief, rage and fear instead of suppressing them. Structure matters. Rhyme, form and constraints can keep expression honest without turning into endless rumination. Caregiver life adds chronic stress. If you are parenting autism or disability needs, coping tools must be realistic, not performative wellness. Comfort eating is common. The key line is habit. When coping becomes automatic daily behavior it shifts from self-compassion to self-sabotage. Activism can be healthier than hiding if it moves you from helplessness into values-based action and community connection. You can hold patriotism and critique at the same time. Reclaiming belonging should not erase marginalized experiences. Free speech and civic participation are not abstract. They are day-to-day practices that protect mental health through agency. “Touch grass” advice is incomplete. A better play is balanced inputs, boundaries on doomscrolling and intentional creative output. Your story is not finished. Creativity gives shape to chaos so it becomes something you can hold.

    In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu gets real about late-night cravings, emotional eating, and the binge-shame-repeat loop. Guest Nadege “Nan” Saysana breaks down why cravings often aren't about food at all, they're about unmet emotional needs like stress, loneliness, frustration, and overwhelm. You'll hear a practical framework for separating physical hunger from emotional urges, how habit loops get wired, and why “knowing the why” isn't enough without learning emotional regulation skills. Nan also shares her personal turning point after decades of binge cycles, plus a simple self-check method to reduce cravings intensity without restriction. If you struggle with binge eating at night, sugar cravings, stress eating, or food noise, this conversation is built to help you regain agency, without gimmicks, shame, or a fake 7-day fix. About the Guest: Nadege “Nan” Saysana helps people stop binge eating by addressing the emotional drivers behind cravings. Based in Paris, she teaches practical tools to build new coping habits, reduce food noise, and shift from self-judgment to self-awareness. Key Takeaways: Cravings feel physical, but if you've already eaten enough, the urge is often emotional, not hunger. “Comfort food” works like a short-term mood hack, then backfires with guilt, stress, and more urges. Many people were never taught emotional skills, so the brain defaults to external soothing like food, scrolling, or binge-watching. The goal isn't perfection. It's replacing the old habit loop with a new one that actually processes feelings. Curiosity beats shame. Treat urges like data. Ask: what emotion is driving this right now? Quick self-regulation practices like a self-hug style touch routine can lower craving intensity without restriction. Restriction can increase binge intensity over time, like a rubber band snap effect. Hormones and medications can amplify hunger. If emotional tools don't help, it's smart to consult a qualified clinician. Power shifts when you stop framing sugar as “in control” and start owning your choices and patterns. Progress looks like urges getting quieter, faster recovery after stress, and calmer decision-making around food.

Dr. Phil Booe to study Isaiah 40:1–11  This Advent series begins by covering the last Old Testament prophet, Malachi, and then spends twelve episodes alternating between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, tracing God's promises from Isaiah to the birth of Christ. The series explores Emmanuel's promise, the Davidic King, John the Baptist as forerunner, and reaches its climax with the Nativity. The final episodes examine the Suffering Servant, the shadow of the cross in Christ's infancy, Isaiah's Messianic mission statement, and John's declaration that "the Word became flesh."  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
