Episode Summary Judson and Janna Shoultz recount how a group of teenagers faced their fears and shared the gospel in mosques and other places of worship during a missions trip to Muslim communities in Michigan. Connecting their experiences with Israel's crossing of the flooded Jordan River in Joshua 3–4, they show that God often waits for His people to obey before He opens the way. This Faith Talks episode challenges young people to recognize the specific step God has put before them and to trust Him enough to take it. Topics Discussed Israel's crossing of the flooded Jordan River in Joshua 3–4 Teenagers sharing the gospel in mosques in Hamtramck and Dearborn, Michigan Developing a genuine burden for Muslims, Hindus, and others without the gospel Bringing the Bible into difficult gospel conversations The influence of Scripture and the Holy Spirit in a new believer's life Everyday steps of faith in witnessing, giving, prayer, and Christian obedience Key Takeaways Faith acts on God's direction before the circumstances change. God can use teenagers to speak biblical truth with courage, compassion, and clarity. Seeing spiritual darkness firsthand can deepen a believer's burden for lost people. The Word of God and the Holy Spirit equip believers for conversations that feel beyond them. A first step of obedience can become a defining moment that makes future steps easier. Faith does not merely talk about trusting God; faith walks into the water. If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

What if sadness isn't something to avoid, but a mark of God's grace at work in your life?This week, Paul and Shelby continue their study of the Beatitudes by exploring why Jesus calls those who mourn "blessed," and how a broken heart over the world's suffering and our own sin leads to the comfort and hope found only in Christ.

In this episode of Agents of Recovery, Coach Blu and Coach Wendell explore the difference between stopping an addictive behavior and beginning the deeper work of healing. Recovery may start with abstinence, honesty, accountability, and daily choices but healing asks a fuller question: What pain, unmet need, fear, or protective pattern made escape feel necessary in the first place?Together, they unpack how addiction can become a survival strategy for people who learned early to suppress emotions, perform for approval, stay hyper-independent, or believe their needs were a burden. The conversation examines the “inner child” not as a cliché, but as the younger part of us that still carries unmet needs for safety, belonging, protection, comfort, play, and being seen. When those needs remain unnamed, they can quietly drive adult patterns of secrecy, compulsive behavior, disconnection, anger, shame, and the belief that relief must be earned or escaped into.Coach Blu and Coach Wendell discuss the shift from fighting yourself to becoming curious about yourself. Instead of asking, “What is wrong with me?” listeners are invited to ask, “What has this behavior been trying to do for me?” That question does not excuse harm or remove responsibility. It creates a more honest path toward accountability one that addresses both the choices a person must own and the wounds that deserve care.The episode also highlights why recovery cannot be sustained in isolation. Addiction grows in secrecy; healing requires safe connection. Through community, mentorship, honest conversations, practical accountability, and the willingness to let others witness the real story, people can begin replacing shame-based survival with belonging and self-trust. Listeners will hear why asking for help is not weakness, why vulnerability needs wise boundaries, and why repeated small actions often create more change than a single emotional breakthrough.This conversation is for anyone who has achieved progress in recovery but still feels disconnected from themselves, trapped in old emotional reactions, or unsure how to build a life that feels meaningful beyond simply “not using.” It offers a compassionate and practical invitation to move beyond the finish line of abstinence and into the ongoing work of becoming whole.Chapters00:00 Introduction and episode overview01:07 Meet the hosts and setting the scene02:16 Understanding recovery versus healing03:08 Why stopping behaviors isn't enough04:09 The importance of addressing root causes05:32 Leaning into curiosity about inner needs06:39 The roots of addiction and emotional pain08:04 Healing as a process of strength and growth10:41 Going deeper: understanding the inner child12:18 The significance of childhood experiences14:44 Permission to need and emotional validation17:11 Connecting with the inner child at different ages19:34 The importance of community and support22:03 The role of vulnerability and safe spaces25:32 The power of curiosity over judgment30:45 Loneliness as a trigger for relapse33:39 Breaking the cycle of shame and isolation36:21 Celebrating progress and self-awareness39:00 The journey of self-discovery and authenticity43:36 The importance of parts work and self-acceptance48:02 Building resilience through community and self-compassion52:29 Creating your unique recovery path53:38 Closing thoughts and encouragement for listenersJoin Coach Blu and Team Addict II Athlete and begin your recovery with a tram behind you! https://www.skool.com/addict-ii-athlete-5988/about?ref=9090e81114674311874340c02b1095d0

As we celebrate the birth of Co-host Brett's new baby daughter Chloe Joy, Father Dave welcomes Catholic doula Mary Haseltine to discuss supporting mothers in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Most men think attraction is something that happens to them (a switch their wife either flips or doesn't). Keith Yackey burns that idea to the ground. After two divorces, he built a framework around one brutal truth: you don't get what you want, you get what you are. If she's not leaning in anymore, that's not a mystery. That's a mirror. In this conversation, Keith breaks down the five dials every man is quietly failing (parent, partner, producer, player, and power) and hands you the exact language to rate yourself against them. We get into why scheduling sex builds more desire than spontaneity ever will, why "I did it for you" is the worst thing a man can say, and why the guys who stop chasing anything eventually get left by everything. This isn't theory. It's the same math Keith used to go from a 19 out of 100 to the best marriage of his life.

In this episode of Connecting the Dots, I sat down with my longtime friend Therese Ten Brinke, Executive Director of Innovation and Impact at Eskaton. Therese is a gerontologist, educator, and innovation leader, and she makes a case I keep coming back to: real innovation in senior living doesn't start with AI or robotics — it starts with people and culture. We got into why the words we choose shape how we age, how technology can empower rather than manage decline, and why the best ideas never come out of a conference room.Key Takeaways:Innovation starts with understanding people, not buying technology — the tech is just one tool among many.Language shapes culture: focusing on what people can't do breeds learned helplessness, while focusing on possibility builds empowerment.When care teams help shape a solution, resistance disappears — Eskaton saw adoption climb from 90% to 100% by listening first.Real innovation often isn't a tech problem at all; it's a workflow, communication, or culture problem that has to be solved first.Technology should expand what's still possible for older adults, not just compensate for decline.The best problems aren't solved in a conference room — they're solved by sitting with residents and care partners.Timestamps:[01:30] Welcome and introduction to Therese Ten Brinke[03:20] Therese's story: her Nana, a skilled nursing summer, and a volunteer trip to Costa Rica[06:00] Why the U.S. views aging differently — and her choice to change the narrative[08:05] Innovation begins by understanding people, not buying technology[10:40] Why the best tech partners ask about culture and workflow before pitching[12:30] "Innovation isn't something we buy — it's something we build together"[13:15] How language shapes culture: learned helplessness vs. possibility[15:30] The Sync Labs case study — listening first drove adoption to 100%[21:00] Piloting the right way and solving the real problem[26:25] Building a culture-first organization and the Eskaton Academy[30:50] "One voice": weaving culture through everything, not just compliance[33:05] Technology as a tool of empowerment, not decline[37:30] What older adults have taught her about technology[44:00] Why staff are often more resistant to technology than residents[45:50] What gives her optimism about aging — and her advice: start with your people[51:10] Closing thoughtsNotable Quotes:"Innovation isn't something we buy — it's something we build together.""Technology shouldn't just compensate for what someone has lost.

What Defines High-capacity Women Leaders In The Business World? High-capacity women leaders are individuals who can multitask effectively due to physiological traits, such as more connective tissue between the brain’s hemispheres, allowing them to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. This ability often leads them to function at high levels consistently. However, this capability can sometimes lead to high-functioning codependence, where they overextend themselves, neglecting self-care and delegation. Recognizing and managing this balance is crucial for sustainable success. How Can Women Leaders Avoid Burnout While Maintaining High Performance? To avoid burnout, women leaders should recognize that while they are capable of multitasking, it is not necessary to function at high levels constantly. It’s essential to delegate tasks and set boundaries to prevent becoming overwhelmed. By acknowledging the need for support and avoiding the trap of trying to do everything themselves, leaders can manage their responsibilities more effectively and maintain a healthier work-life balance. Why Is Delegation Important For Business Leaders, Particularly In Law Firms? Delegation is critical because it allows leaders to focus on the aspects of their business they are passionate about and excel in. By delegating tasks that are not their strengths, leaders can reduce inefficiencies and prevent burnout. This approach not only fosters a more dynamic and efficient workplace but also enables leaders to perform at their best, contributing to the overall success of the business. How Can Law Firm Leaders Effectively Delegate Tasks? Law firm leaders can delegate effectively by understanding that they are not their business; the business is an entity on its own. Leaders should focus on what the business needs rather than personal preferences for task completion. By hiring people who excel in specific areas and allowing them to take ownership of their roles, leaders can ensure tasks are completed efficiently, freeing them to focus on critical areas of the firm. What Should Leaders Consider When Hiring To Ensure Effective Delegation? When hiring, leaders should adopt the mantra “hire hard, manage easy.” It’s important to invest time in finding the right fit for the business and then provide comprehensive training and clear SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) to guide new hires. This ensures that tasks are completed to the desired standard without the leader having to micromanage, allowing the business to run smoothly and efficiently. How Can Law Firm Owners Incorporate Mindset Shifts And Habits For Better Business Outcomes? Law firm owners can benefit from adopting mindset shifts such as the Pareto Principle, focusing on the most impactful tasks, and maintaining an 80% capacity to prevent burnout. They should also implement daily habits like starting their day with a slow morning routine, reflecting on personal and business priorities. These practices can enhance productivity, improve mental clarity, and lead to greater satisfaction and success in their professional lives. What Practical Advice Can Law Firm Owners Implement To Improve Their Leadership And Business Operations? Law firm owners should remember that they matter and that their actions have significant impacts. By prioritizing self-care, setting clear goals, and maintaining connections with clients and colleagues, leaders can ensure they are operating at their best. Recognizing their value and the importance of their contributions can lead to better decision-making and a more fulfilling professional experience. {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What Defines High-capacity Women Leaders In The Business World?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"High-capacity women leaders are individuals who can multitask effectively due to physiological traits, such as more connective tissue between the brain's hemispheres, allowing them to handle multiple tasks simultaneously.

Matt Butts, Head of Marketing Science at Samsung Ads Europe, joins That's What I Call Marketing to discuss marketing science, incrementality, connected TV measurement and why rigorous testing matters more than a positive result. This episode explains how marketers can move beyond convenient metrics, design better experiments and connect advertising activity to meaningful business outcomes. Matt also explores how changing television behaviours are reshaping media planning, audience measurement and the role of connected TV.In this episode, we cover:– Why marketers often measure metrics without questioning whether they matter– The difference between basic A/B testing and genuine incrementality testing– Why the quality of the test matters more than whether the result is positive– How marketing scientists translate complex analysis into commercial decisions– How Samsung Ads measures viewing across linear television, streaming and gaming– Why reported reach can hide significant audience duplication– How incremental reach can reduce media waste and identify missed audiences– The role of connected TV data in advertising planning and measurement– Why marketers need to communicate measurement differently to CMOs, CFOs and media teams– How rigorous measurement helped one advertiser move from zero investment to a seven-figure commitmentMatt argues that marketing science should not simply validate decisions that have already been made. Its role is to challenge assumptions, identify what would have happened without the advertising and give marketers evidence they can confidently use to make better investment decisions.A useful listen for marketers interested in marketing science, advertising effectiveness, connected TV, incrementality, media measurement, experimentation and commercial impact.Timestamps01:16 How Matt found his way into marketing science02:19 How advertising measurement has changed03:27 Are marketers measuring things without knowing why?04:27 Why measurement assumptions must be tested continually05:02 Do marketers know how to test properly?06:00 The limitations of basic A/B testing06:17 Why incrementality is the missing part of marketing testing07:18 The importance of statisticians, data scientists and translation08:13 Matt's journey to Samsung Ads08:18 What Samsung Ads does09:00 How television viewing behaviour has changed10:18 Balancing audience precision, relevance and scale11:02 Relevance without intrusive personalisation12:19 Samsung Ads' Total View measurement capability12:36 Audience duplication, incremental reach and missed audiences13:40 Why platform reach figures can be misleading14:06 What a Head of Marketing Science actually does14:40 Building advertiser-specific measurement playbooks15:16 Using measurement to improve future advertising investment15:23 How to explain incrementality to senior business leaders15:41 Why marketers need to understand marketing science17:00 How measurement feeds into marketing mix models17:33 A real example of fixing incomplete advertising data19:00 How a geo test led to a seven-figure investment19:43 Why negative test results should not frighten marketers20:40 Combining scientific rigour with commercial thinking21:51 What comes next for connected TV measurement22:00 Connecting television and mobile data23:30 Why marketing measurement must keep pace with human behaviourThat's What I Call Marketing is the podcast for marketers who care about brand, B2B, creativity, effectiveness and the future of the profession.Follow the show for more conversations with CMOs, marketing leaders, agency leaders, professors, authors, thinkers and practitioners.Find more episodes at: https://www.thatswhaticallmarketing.comThanks to the Digital Voice for their partnership https://www.thedigitalvoice.co.uk/That's What I Call Marketing is where marketers come for real conversations about brand, B2B, creativity, effectiveness and the future of the profession.Hosted by Conor Byrne, the show features conversations with CMOs, marketing leaders, agency leaders, authors, thinkers and practitioners about what good marketing looks like in practice.Listen, follow and find more episodes at: https://www.thatswhaticallmarketing.comConnect with Conor on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/conorbyrneirl/If you enjoy the show, please follow, subscribe and leave a review.

When your partner shuts down in the middle of a hard conversation, it's easy to read it as punishment — as coldness, stubbornness, or not caring. What if that's almost never what's actually happening?In this episode, Todd Creager — Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 35 years of experience — takes a closer look at stonewalling, one of the patterns John and Julie Gottman identified as a serious warning sign in relationships. Todd offers a different way to understand it, one rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the way protective parts of us learned to manage emotional danger long before our current relationship existed.He explains that stonewalling isn't cruelty. It's a manager — a protective part that decided somewhere along the way that silence was safer than speech. That part didn't develop in response to your spouse. It developed in response to what happened much earlier: a child who was dismissed when they spoke up, shamed when they were vulnerable, or simply never had anyone attuned enough to make expression feel safe.Todd walks through real examples from his practice, including the client who remembers being met with anger as a child for expressing a normal feeling — and the client who has no clear memories of meanness, only an absence of attunement. In both cases, the outcome was the same: the body learned to go quiet.The shift Todd describes — from "why are you doing this to me?" to "what does that part of you need so we can come back to each other?" — is where real repair begins. Not just of the current conflict, but of older wounds the relationship has quietly been carrying.If you or your partner stonewalls, this episode gives you a new framework for understanding what's actually happening, and a starting point for approaching it with less blame and more curiosity.Listen now — and if this work is resonating, visit toddcreager.com to learn more about individual and couples therapy, or explore his self-guided programs.

Men are drowning in a culture that rewards the appearance of strength. You've likely heard the term, "ripped, rich, and rare." It misses the one thing that actually builds it: the willingness to fail, feel it, and let their kids watch them do it. Today's guest calls this the "Upside Down Game," the con every man eventually has to walk away from if he wants to become someone worth following. This conversation goes straight at the blindness most men carry about themselves, the resistance that waits for every man trying to change, and why the hardest thing on earth isn't becoming a warrior; it's accepting your own humanity first. Kyle Carnohan joins me to talk about the greatest awakening happening among men right now, and what it actually looks like to raise kids who can hold frame in a world built to knock them off it. We get into the difference between being calm and being a pushover, why "non-reactive" doesn't mean passive, and how a strong spine and a soft heart aren't opposites, they're the whole point. If you've ever wondered whether your kids are learning more from your failures than your victories, this episode will answer that question whether you're ready for it or not.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Introduction and Reconnecting 01:09 - The State of Modern Podcasting vs. Real Connection 03:22 - The Great Awakening: Transitioning from Promotion to Realness 05:24 - Embracing Failure, Disaster, and Finding Faith 07:23 - The Struggle for Men to Accept Their Humanity 09:22 - Falling in Love with the Process Over the Outcome 10:00 - Finding Peace in Major Life Hardships 11:51 - Teaching Children Resilience Through Witnessing Hardship 14:38 - Spotting Your Blind Spots and Learning to Continually Reconcile 19:40 - The Importance of Finding an Accurate Mirror in Life 21:30 - Navigating Different Personalities Under One Roof 22:38 - Unconditional Love and Radical Non-Reactivity in Parenting 27:11 - Stripping Away the Tough Guy Persona 30:20 - Overcoming the Need to Force and Strong-Arm Your Family 32:18 - Maintaining a Calm Nervous System Amidst Household Chaos 36:36 - Commanding Respect vs. Demanding Compliance 39:38 - The Societal Shift and Misconceptions of Kindness in Men 41:56 - The Balance: Hard Man with a Soft Heart 45:01 - Maintaining Your Frame vs. Being a Pushover 48:45 - The Courage Required for Calm, Loving Pursuits in Conflict 50:51 - Holding the Line Calmly with Children 54:12 - How Raising Righteous Children Saves the Culture 56:05 - Yielding the Glory and Fighting Alongside Men 58:21 - Connecting with Kyle and Closing Thoughts   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

In this episode of the Sex Reimagined Podcast, Dr. Willow Brown and Leah Piper break down the seven chakras and reveal why understanding your body's energy centers is one of the most overlooked paths to becoming a more skilled, magnetic, and orgasmic lover. From the root chakra at the anus to the crown chakra at the top of the head, Willow and Leah map out where each energy center lives in the body, what emotional and psychological material it stores, and exactly how to touch, sound, and breathe your way into unlocking it. They dig into why the throat chakra (not just the genitals) may be the most underused key to bigger, longer orgasms, how the vagus nerve links your voice to your pleasure, and why root chakra and anal touch carry some of the deepest, most transformative erotic potential in the body. Whether you're new to chakra work or looking to deepen your tantric practice, this conversation offers a real, usable roadmap for building erotic energy circuitry between your chakras and your partner's.KEY TAKEAWAYS⛤ Your chakras are a literal touch map. Each of the seven energy centers corresponds to a real location on the body and carries its own psychological theme, so knowing your chakras means knowing exactly where and how to touch for both comfort and arousal.⛤ The throat chakra is the great magnifier. Sound and vocalization during sex amplify pleasure throughout the whole body and activate the vagus nerve, the only nerve pathway connecting the genitals to the brain through the heart and throat.⛤ The root chakra holds some of the body's biggest pleasure and biggest shame. Anal touch is deeply avoided for many people, but it opens access to a distinct orgasm carried by the hypogastric nerve, separate from clitoral or ejaculatory orgasm.⛤ The second chakra stores sexual shame and inadequacy. Genital touch can surface stored stories about being "too much" or "not enough," and learning to touch with presence rather than just technique helps release that stored shame.⛤ Building chakra circuitry deepens intimacy. Connecting two chakras at once, like a hand on the genitals and a hand on the heart, literally bridges different parts of the erotic and emotional body, making pleasure and self-expression flow more freely.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/chakras-and-sexErotic Polarity Online Masterclass - Join us July 29th for a live masterclass on zoom.

One of the best books I have ever read; in Cheryl's own words, it is a book about 'hiking and healing in the mountains'.                                             Bio- Floundering in her second career, the one she's always wanted, forty-eight year old Cheryl Suchors resolves that, despite a fear of heights, her mid-life success depends on hiking the highest of the grueling White Mountains in New Hampshire. All forty-eight of them. She endures injuries, novice mistakes, and the heartbreaking loss of a best friend. When breast cancer threatens her own life, she seeks solace and recovery in the wild. Her quest takes ten years. Regardless of the need since childhood to feel successful and in control, climbing teaches her mastery isn't enough and control is often an illusion. Connecting with friends and with nature, Suchors redefines success: she discovers a source of spiritual nourishment, spaces powerful enough to absorb her grief, and joy in the persistence of love and beauty. 48 Peaks inspires us to believe that, no matter what obstacles we face, we too can attain our summits.

Are there some Hebrew words that you need to know as a Christian? Pastor, author, and filmmaker Ed Grifenhagen, whose unique perspective bridges Jewish tradition and Christian belief, reveals the profound impact of Hebrew words on understanding scripture and God's promises. He uncovers how ancient words like "shalom" and "Elohim" carry deep meaning that can revolutionize your spiritual growth and illuminate the connection between the Old and New Testaments. Whether you're seeking a richer Bible study or hoping to share your faith more authentically, this conversation is packed with insights and practical wisdom to help you flourish in your walk with God. In This Episode: From Synagogue to Savior: Ed Grifenhagen shared his story of growing up observant, discovering the Bible for himself, and encountering Jesus for the first time at age 35. Connecting the Dots: Learn how Hebrew words and Old Testament stories point to Christ—like the blood of the Passover Lamb (Pesach) foreshadowing Jesus as the Lamb of God. The Power of "Shalom": Find out why "shalom" in Scripture means so much more than "prosperity," and how understanding the depth of these terms can transform your walk with God. Remember: Discover the vital role of remembering God's faithfulness and how writing down His works in your life can change your spiritual journey 08:35. Practical Evangelism: Ed Grifenhagen emphasizes the importance of meeting people where they are, building relationships, and letting the Holy Spirit lead as you share faith—there's no "one size fits all."  Featured Hebrew Word Elohim: The very first name of God in Genesis—plural by form, hinting at the Trinity and the magnificence of God. Ed encourages you to ponder and pray this name as you draw closer to the Lord. Ready to Dig Deeper?

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes back musician and actor Levi Petry to catch up on Bruce Springsteen, starting with reactions to recent shows and the tour's purposeful, righteous energy, including standout moments like “War” into “Born in the U.S.A.,” “Long Walk Home,” “House of a Thousand Guitars,” “American Skin (41 Shots),” and the Tom Morello “Tom Joad” performance, plus crowd differences and setlist changes between nights. They discuss Springsteen's onstage comments condemning political violence, the challenge of balancing deep cuts with casual-fan expectations, and the craft of setlist construction. Levi shares mixed feelings about the film “Delivery From Nowhere,” then talks about Springsteen's unreleased-albums tracks before spotlighting his new EP “Sunday Morning Donut Run,” including the nearly seven-minute closer “A Big Love,” and where to stream it. https://www.levipetree.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Nicholas Epley – a distinguished Professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Chicago and the author of “A Little More Social” – explains how important social activity is for physical and mental health, why people are experiencing a friendship recession, how texting affects your hormones, how seeing other cultures can shape your life, the world's friendliest cities, and the low expectations keeping us feeling lonely.
