Lets be honest, there are many twists and turns we'll have to endure throughout the course of our lives and many of which we won't even see coming. But what do we do when we reach the fork in the road? When we find ourselves at one of those life changing crossroad moments when we have to choose if we'll go left or go right? And how do we know which path is from God? I believe that it's in these crossroad moments where we see just how much we trust God with the direction of our lives by how quickly we walk it out in obedience after we've heard from Him. So if you're at that crossroad right now or facing one of the hardest decisions you've ever faced, and you're uncertain, take heart.In this episode I unpack:1. How to know when you're truly at a crossroad in life2. How to discern which path God has for you3. When to move forward in obedience 4. Why you can be confident that God has youI pray this episode blesses you and the path that God has for you is confirmed again and again by Him and those He'll send your way to remind you that you're hearing Him. For more info or to connect:WebsiteInstagram

In this episode of the Don't Waste the Chaos Podcast, Kerri Roberts, business & HR consultant and podcast host, dives into the leadership clarity crisis showing up in organizations everywhere. When people don't clearly understand what success looks like, teams drift, decision-making slows, and emotional health takes a hit. Kerri explains why clarity isn't a “nice-to-have” soft skill - it's the strongest predictor of performance, alignment, and execution (and yes, the bottom line).Kerri also shares real-life leadership stories from complex, committee-driven environments and high-trust peer learning spaces - highlighting how clarity can either drain momentum or unlock it. She introduces a practical “anatomy of leadership clarity” framework (purpose, expectations, and communication), then walks you through micro-activities to reset direction with your team. If you're serious about purpose-driven leadership, integrity in business, and overcoming chaos with sustainable success, this episode gives you a plan you can implement immediately.Key TakeawaysClarity is the highest form of leadership - it drives performance, alignment, and sustainable success.Ambiguity is expensive: it drains momentum, slows decisions, and damages culture and emotional health.Three dimensions of leadership clarity: clarity of purpose, clarity of expectations, and clarity of communication.Complexity feels smart, but clarity feels like leadership - repeat one unifying phrase to reinforce direction.Small, consistent practices (weekly reviews, clear success statements, role clarity) create trust and execution.ResourcesHR in a BoxIf you're a small business owner who needs HR support without the full-time hire, HR in a Box is the most affordable way to work with Kerri in a group setting. It's built for businesses typically in the 5–30 employee range (and some up to 50) who want a solid HR foundation, better leadership practices, and fewer preventable fires.

What does "explaining the why" really mean and why does it go so wrong? In this episode of The Leadership Hustle, Andrea Fredrickson and Michelle Hill unpack the leadership habit of reducing "why" to a generic, tactical explanation. The result? Confused teams, underperformance, and a lack of buy-in. Andrea and Michelle share real-life coaching examples of what happens when leaders skip the story behind the strategy. You'll learn how to create clarity, deepen connection, and get the results you're after just by slowing down to explain the real reason. If you're tired of repeating yourself or wondering why your team doesn't take initiative, this episode is your playbook. For more resources on developing leadership skills visit us at Revela.

Ready to love Detroit. Engaged and confused. Recap.

In this Saturday episode, AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay welcomes Dr. Kathy Koch back to the podcast as a returning guest to talk about ways we can raise gender-confident girls in a world steeped in confusion. Even when the culture tells us that Scripture is antiquated and oppressive, girls can embrace the clarity, purpose, and peace God offers us through His Word—a solid foundation for both Patti and Dr. Kathy in this conversation.    Dr. Kathy shares about her new book Raising Gender-Confident Kids, co-authored with Dr. Jeff Myers of Summit Ministries.     Dr. Kathy courageously describes the intention behind the book with Dr. Jeff Myers to embolden parents to push back and say 'no' to a deceptive notion of transitioning kids to different genders by altering their physical bodies. Patti draws out the direction of the book's title—gender-confident rather than gender-confused. Dr. Kathy unpacks the joy behind this theme by rooting a family's confidence in God first and then trickling down to a girl's understanding of her gender. Patti recalls her mother's phrase, 'God doesn't make mistakes.' This led the discussion to understanding God as the Potter at the wheel designing and crafting our bodies with perfect intention and meticulous care.    Dr. Kathy shares her personal journey as a girl learning to embrace things about herself that she previously ached to change, then under her mom's wise leadership shifting her thinking to love the unique facets of her body's design. From her height to her voice, Dr. Kathy shares wisdom, joy, and hope for girls struggling with their body's design.     Dr. Kathy offers precision in regard to gender confusion, settling that it is loving for a parent to correct confusion in gentleness and love. Patti and Dr. Kathy address the notion of labels that has changed drastically over the last 50 years in western cultures. To calm the strife, Dr. Kathy guides listeners to celebrate both the strength and softness of a girl's femininity rather than letting culture guide our views. Through the lens of a Biblical Worldview, Dr. Kathy teaches ways to let Scripture guide a girl's understanding, both with quoted chapter and verse as well as values of the Bible woven into daily conversations. Dr. Koch and Dr. Myers' book includes conversation starters so parents have a helpful launch-point when issues come up.     Scriptures Shared in this Episode:    Genesis 1:27  Isaiah 64:8  Psalm 139:13-14    For more information on Dr. Kathy's work, visit: celebratekids.com   Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.    Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.   

Some religions and some people have very specific ideas about “grace”, and that includes poet Orlando Ricardo Menes. In the carefully constructed “Grace”, he manages to both demystify and remystify what grace is, leaving us with the possibility that at any moment or no moment it could pour down and quench us all. Intrigued? Confused? Give this episode a listen.  We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes.  Orlando Ricardo Menes teaches in the Creative Writing Program at the University of Notre Dame, where he is a professor of English. He is also the author of several other works of poetry, including Memoria, Fetish, and Heresies. He lives in South Bend, Indiana.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.

Andrew For America is often times referred to as a white supremacist far-right Nazi conspiracy nutjob...and today, he changes all of that by thoroughly explaining where he falls on the political spectrum. Andrew talks about classical liberalism, libertarianism, conservatism, capitalism, the welfare state, natural law, universal moral principles, authoritarian control, fascism, oligarchy, the "revolving door," crony capitalism, and how taxation is theft. Andrew reads excerpts from the book, "Are you Liberal, Conservative, or Confused" by Richard J. Maybury, as well as quotes from George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Carl Jung, Daniel Alexander Zeck, KRS-One, and others to help illustrate his points. Andrew also talks about "engineered reality," and how these social media algorithms are literally programming people's minds.The song selection is the song, "Rebels and Imbeciles" by the band Battle Flask.Visit allegedlyrecords.com and check out all of the amazing punk rock artists!Visit soundcloud.com/andrewforamerica1984 to check out Andrew's music!Like and Follow The Politics & Punk Rock Podcast PLAYLIST on Spotify!!!Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Y4rumioeqvHfaUgRnRxsy...politicsandpunkrockpodcast.comFollow Future Is Now Coalition on Instagram @FutureIsOrgwww.futureis.org

In this episode I break down the difference between slide decks and slide docs—and talk about designing intentionally for each. Many presentation problems don't stem from weak ideas or poor analysis. They come from using the wrong artifact for the job. Slides overloaded with text are often treated as presentations when they're really documents meant to be read. The result? Confused audiences, long meetings, and diluted messages. I explain why slide decks and slide docs serve fundamentally different purposes—and why trying to make one file do both almost always fails. In this episode, you'll learn: Why slide decks are spoken artifacts designed to support your voice, not replace it How slide docs function as read artifacts that must stand on their own without explanation A simple rule of thumb to help you choose the right format before you start building Whether you're preparing for class presentations, team meetings, interviews, or client-facing work, understanding this distinction will immediately improve your clarity and credibility.

Most e-commerce brands think they have a traffic problem.They don't.They have a leakage problem, and it's draining their bank accounts every single day.In this episode of Think Millions, Dr. Alexa D'Agostino sits down with Matthew Stafford, an E-commerce Growth Expert who has helped hundreds of brands cross the million-dollar mark without dumping more money into ads.Matthew has seen the backend of more Shopify stores than most founders ever will — and what he sees over and over again is the same pattern: brands blame ads, social, and platforms while ignoring what's actually broken after the click.In this conversation, we break down:Why most stores are failing before the first clickThe #1 revenue leak hiding in plain sightWhy ads get blamed for website failuresHow clarity beats persuasion every timeWhy redesigns don't fix conversion problemsThe mindset block keeping founders stuck at 6–7 figuresHow data (not design trends) actually drives scaleThis episode isn't about hacks or tactics.It's about fixing the real mechanics of growth, and getting out of your own way.Keys Parts of the Conversation:(0:10–0:52) | You Don't Have a Traffic Problem Why most Shopify stores are leaking money after the click.(4:12–4:31) | Ads Aren't Broken, Websites Are The real reason paid traffic doesn't convert. (3:18–3:28) | Why Confused Buyers Don't Buy Clarity vs persuasion in modern e-commerce.(5:19–5:35) | High-Converting Sites Are Built With Data Why redesigns fail and analytics matter.(6:44–7:05) | The Biggest Revenue Leak: Navigation How buyers actually find (or don't find) products.(9:42–10:23) | How to Identify Where Your Store Is Bleeding Money Using add-to-cart, checkout, and conversion data correctly.(10:45–11:15) | What “Good” Conversion Rates Actually Look Like Benchmarks based on AOV. (12:03–14:05) | Why Brands Stall at 6–7 Figures The mindset issue that founders don't want to admit.(16:45–17:32) | Scaling Isn't Magic, It's Mechanics The real formula behind sustainable growth.Great Quotes from the Podcast:“Most e-commerce brands don't have a traffic problem. They have a leakage problem.”“If people are clicking but not buying, the ads aren't broken, the site is.”“Confused buyers don't convert. They bounce.”“A high-converting site isn't built with design tools. It's built with data.”“Pretty doesn't scale. Clarity does.”“You can't fix what you don't measure.”“Most founders would rather redesign their site than read their own metrics.”“Businesses don't have business problems — they have people problems.”“Scaling isn't magic. It's mechanics.”“Stop throwing money at traffic before you fix the leaks.”Resources:All Episodes: Think Millions PodcastQuestions or Comments: support@thynkconsultinggroup.comAlexa's Instagram: @dralexadagostinoAlexa's Website: AlexaD'Agostino.comBook a Discovery Call with Alexa: Discovery CallThynkFuel Agency: ThynkFuelMedia.com

Not a substitute for walking with the Holy Spirit, but it may be a practical tool if you've run into one too many walls of frustration.

Synopsis What exactly is authority? Where does it come from? How do you get it? Can you move authority from St. Paul, MN to the south side of Chicago? Join Em and Jesse for a wide-ranging chat on the subject. Notes 1/ Of course, many people in addition to women have a hard time getting others (i.e. non-group members) to pay attention to their authority. For example, trans and nonbinary people have a hard time getting anyone to listen to them speaking about their own lived experiences. 2/ I’ve published four novels and a novella since this was recorded, and people actually do think I’m an authority on some topics for some reason. 3/ The story about Aristotle’s phony translators comes from here, I think: https://historyofphilosophy.net/translation-movement Pseudopigrapha: from pseudo, false, and epigraphe, name or inscription. A falsely attributed text. U of Michigan’s Galileo text: “After an internal investigation of the findings of Nick Wilding, professor of history at Georgia State University, the library has concluded that its “Galileo manuscript” is in fact a 20th-century forgery. We’re grateful to Professor Wilding for sharing his findings, and are now working to reconsider the manuscript’s role in our collection.” Also, “Wilding concluded that our Galileo manuscript is a 20th-century fake executed by the well-known forger Tobia Nicotra.” (The quotes are from the linked website.) 4/ According to the Virginia Woolf society, the actual quote is: “I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.” (From ch 3 of A Room of One’s Own.) Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (5th/6th century CE)) Pseudo-Pseduo-Dionysius is anyone once thought to be Pseudo-Dionysius but now recognized (by modern scholars) to be someone other than Pseudo-Dionysius. Confused? 5/ Pseudo-Bonaventure (14th century CE) wrote Meditations on the Life of Christ. 6/ I’ve become a bit more familiar with copyright law in the three years(!) since we recorded this, since I’ve published three going on four books of my own since then. A really good example of a point I think past Em is trying to make is Sherlock Holmes, who has recently passed into public domain. He’s a neat character and everyone wanted to play with him (look at the adaptations of recent memory: the Robert Downey Jr. films, the BBC’s Sherlock, the American Elementary). But because of copyright law, this was fairly difficult and confusing until very recently, despite the character’s creator having been dead since 1930. These cases raise many questions of authorship vs ownership and how long someone should really be able to make money on an idea. (Patent Law is, if anything, worse, from what I understand.) 7/ It was a photograph of Prince! Since we recorded this, the Supreme Court sided against Andy Warhol’s estate: https://www.npr.org/2023/05/18/1176881182/supreme-court-sides-against-andy-warhol-foundation-in-copyright-infringement-cas Girl Talk is awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSoTN8suQ1o I mention him because there was a really good documentary about copyright called RiP! A Remix Manifesto that discussed his work (including a discussion of it with the head of the copyright office of the Library of Congress). 8/ Just to clarify, “fair use” is kind of a complicated issue. When you are a non-commercial educational podcast (ahem), you can use things (like samples of YouTube performances) without having to pay licensing fees. You can also fairly quote sections of things for criticism, news reporting, and research. You can therefore quote lines from songs or poems in textbooks, but not in novels because they aren’t considered teaching. Parody (hello, Weird Al!) can be a weird gray area, because a parody obviously has to be somewhat transformative but still retain enough of a likeness that people will know what you’re parodying, and on this question hangs a lot of lawsuits. (Not toward Weird Al though, as far as I know. But Margaret Mitchell’s estate did try to sue to block the publication of The Wind Done Gone.) See also: Why does Ulysses (in Em’s novels) wear so many band T-shirts and occasionally mention songs and artists, but there are zero song lyrics in the books? Because you can’t copyright band names or album/song titles. Steamboat Willie has actually entered public domain since we recorded this! [So amazing!–Jesse] Peter Pan actually first appeared in 1902! Also, sorry, “Peter Pan is a psychopomp” is somehow not a sentence I had on my bingo card. I guess it has lost a bit in its translation to the screen… On the plus side, SIDS rates have dropped dramatically since 1902? “I can rewrite Macbeth if I want to.” Or a really complex riff on The Bacchae? Em of 2022 did not know what was coming, lol. 9/ Notably, Spivak also quotes primarily women. The episode on Hrotsvit: Episode 22 10/ For more on Juliana of Cornillion and the Feast of Corpus Christi, see Episode 6. 11/ Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale are HERE. (Also, Chaucer was not, as far as we know, toxic like Joss Whedon!) 12/ Incidentally, violent, in-the-moment reactions to mistreatment by another person are called reactive abuse, and they’re often used by abusers to shift the blame onto their victims. If you are being abused or wondering if you are and want to talk to someone, check out the National Domestic Violence Hotline (https://www.thehotline.org/), or look for local programs. Here in Madison, for instance, we have Domestic Abuse Intervention Services (https://abuseintervention.org/).

Sierra never imagined that someone else's obsession would become her nightmare. She had just started dating a man when a stranger reached out—claiming he was her boyfriend of three years. Confused and alarmed, Sierra confronted him. What he showed her was proof: the relationship had ended long before. But the fixation hadn't. The woman who once stalked him quickly shifted her focus to Sierra. What began as online harassment spiraled into something far more dangerous—real-world intimidation, constant fear, and eventually, violence. Slashed tires made it clear this wasn't just digital anymore. Sierra and her partner did everything they were told to do. They went to the police. They consulted attorneys. They sought a restraining order. But no protection ever came. Years later, the stalking hasn't stopped. Today, Sierra is speaking out—ready to tell her story, confront the fear, and reclaim her life.

Hello! And welcome to Episode 385. Most people think projects start with design or budgeting. They don’t. This episode introduces the four real phases of every project, and explains why confusion, rework, and cost blowouts usually come from skipping or rushing the early ones. So if you’re starting out and feeling overwhelmed or confused, you’re not behind. And in tuning into this episode, and the Mini-sode Series I’m kicking off, you’re in the right place to gain some helpful insights and know-how before you start your project. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/385] Welcome to this Mini-Sodes Series called ‘Start Here’. Each episode is designed to eliminate assumptions, bust common myths, and help you understand what actually matters first, before you dive headlong into your project driven by excitement alone. You’ll learn what to prioritise now, what can wait, and how to move forward without feeling overwhelmed. Most homeowners feel overwhelmed before diving into their new build or renovation planning. Nervous, but excited. Confused, but optimistic. Creating your future home is an opportunity to support your lifestyle, reflect your values, and create a place to live and enjoy for years to come. At the same time, a renovation or new build is often the biggest financial investment you’ll make outside of purchasing property. There can feel like a lot at stake, and the industry can appear opaque and complex. If you’re wondering where to start, that’s the most common question I receive at Undercover Architect, and it’s why I created this series. Before we begin, I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I live and work, the Widjabul Wia-bal people of the Bundjalung Nation. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and I honour their ongoing connection to land, culture and community. It’s Amelia Lee here, founder and architect behind Undercover Architect, an online education platform that teaches homeowners how to get it right when designing, building or renovating their home, simply and with confidence, wherever you’re located and whoever you’re working with. Undercover Architect is your secret ally. Not here to tell you what your home should look like, or to push an aesthetic, finish, or product. This is about helping you understand the process, ask better questions, avoid stressful and expensive mistakes, and make clear, informed decisions that are right for you and your project. So let’s dive into Part 1 of the Start Here Series, ‘How Every Project Really Unfolds’. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST: For links, images and resources mentioned in this podcast, plus a full transcript, head to >>> www.undercoverarchitect.com/385 The Get Started Guide Mini-Course You can jump into Undercover Architect’s mini-course, The Get Started Guide, which helps you begin organising your thinking about the first best steps for any project. PROJECT 101 Self-Study Online Course If you’re still working out whether building or renovating is the right move for you, or you want to get your head around what’s involved before committing too far, PROJECT 101 is designed for that stage. It helps you understand the moving parts of a project and how cost, time, team, design, and you interact, so you can feel oriented and informed. HOME Method Online Program And if you want guidance and support right through all four phases of your project, with the steps, tools, resources and personalised help to navigate your project confidently, manage your risk and avoid costly mistakes, then Undercover Architect’s signature online program, HOME Method, is where you’ll find the community, coaching and education you need to support you every step of the way.

...we Tossed our way into oblivion with the exciting new show Pluribus in this one.Hello audient!The new show Pluribus comes at us with all the niceties, trappings and plot pitfalls  to be found in our rot-attacked brains. While the first Season leaves many more questions than answers, leaving large holes in the logic and the story, it makes for a perfect Tossers episode; a real conceptual skeet-shooting playground.Pluribus deals with an alien(?) hive mind that has taken over every person on Earth except for very few who had an "incompatible" genetic material. The fact that this hive speaks and behaves in an almost one-to-one parody on the "personality" of ChatGPT in our increasingly compartmentalized realities and interactions with one-another (like in Social Media) makes the connection to AI-related issues almost inescapable.We'll mention here just one particularly interesting toss we cam across, concerning the 'body' (the 'animal' part of Aristotle's famous definition of the "Human" as 'a talking animal'). It juts out of the narrative like a sore thumb, like an unmourned loss: what does it mean for the main protagonist to "fall in love" with a body from the hive mind? How does a hive mind approach real issues of attachment, like pain and discord, as they arise through the "affair" with the protagonist? What is the role - within our attachments - of the body's memories, its unique history, when it is "pluribussed" like that?This also connected to a recurring theme in the Tossers' arsenal, the ethical imperative we inherited from our Derrida(ddy), the one we express as "Never let the dead bury the dead." As the bodies of the entire world's population become an indistinct mass grave, a Frankenstein-monster-cum-Turing-machine, it becomes both overly relevant and no longer relevant: when the dead are recycled into food for the "hive-people" and yet you can fall in love with a person whose body is completely controlled by the "everyone" of the hive, including going and sleeping with another "survivor" (of the assimilation) while expressing love to our protagonist.Confused? We hope so. But it is a rather productive confusion, we believe, in our day and age. Rather appropriately, all Stars made an appearance here in one way or another.The rest will be told to our one, loyal (and virtual!) audient, and her flaming lips...

Less than a year into Trump's second term, his renewed push to acquire Greenland has escalated into a full-blown alliance crisis—complete with tariff threats against Denmark and other European backers, and a scramble for NATO unity. In (already) his second “emergency” episode of 2026 recorded solo on 18 January, Darren starts off by observing this episode doesn't neatly fit neat orthodox models of international relations—it looks less like balancing or normal alliance bargaining and more like coercion and hierarchy politics, forcing Europe to weigh retaliation, endurance, and face-saving off-ramps. Given that, what kind of model(s) are useful? Australia in the World is written, hosted, and produced by Darren Lim, with research and editing this episode by Hannah Nelson and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

In this message, Pastor Marco teaches from Acts 17, where Paul confronts a culture saturated with idols and misplaced worship. Engaging the leading philosophers of his day, Paul exposes their flawed worldview and points them to the one true God, ultimately focusing his message on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the same way, our world today is filled with modern idols that promise life but cannot deliver. True life is not found in an activity, ideology, or possession, but in a person—Jesus Christ, our risen Savior.
