We've been told screens are bad, that too much time in front of them will ruin our kids… cue the mom guilt. But the truth? It's more complicated than that.In this episode, we're getting real about how we use screen time — the messy “balance” we're all trying to find — and how to make it work for our families instead of against us. We talk about living in a tech-heavy world, being part of the last generation (hey, millennials!) who grew up both with and without screens, and now raising kids who've never known life any other way. From iPads to TV to FaceTiming family, we dive into the uses, the judgment, the guilt, and how to give ourselves permission to use technology with intention, purpose, and peace.

In this episode, Dave and Laura sit down with Dr. Phil Monroe to explore what it looks like for churches to navigate issues around sexual abuse in a healthy way…particularly when it happens in the church. We talk about some of the inherent pressures to stay silent about abuse issues, how to view these challenges as opportunities for greater ministry, and what exactly leaders can do to prevent and respond to issues when they arise. Dr. Monroe, leader of Langberg, Monroe & Associates, is a psychologist with more than three decades of clinical experience which he brings to the table in this vital conversation.Trauma Healing Institute Langberg, Monroe & AssociatesPhilip Monroe

Register for the Austin listener meetup Donald S. Lopez Jr. is among the foremost scholars of Buddhism, whose work consistently distinguishes Buddhist reality from Western fantasy. A professor at the University of Michigan and author of numerous essential books on Buddhist thought and practice, he's spent decades studying Sanskrit and Tibetan texts, including a formative year spent living in a Tibetan monastery in India. His latest book, The Buddha: Biography of a Myth, tackles the formidable challenge of understanding what we can actually know about the historical Buddha. Tyler and Donald discuss the Buddha's 32 bodily marks, whether he died of dysentery, what sets the limits of the Buddha's omniscience, the theological puzzle of sacred power in an atheistic religion, Buddhism's elaborate system of hells and hungry ghosts, how 19th-century European atheists invented the "peaceful" Buddhism we know today, whether the axial age theory holds up, what happened to the Buddha's son Rahula, Buddhism's global decline, the evidently effective succession process for Dalai Lamas, how a guy from New Jersey created the Tibetan Book of the Dead, what makes Zen Buddhism theologically unique, why Thailand is the wealthiest Buddhist country, where to go on a three-week Buddhist pilgrimage, how Donald became a scholar of Buddhism after abandoning his plans to study Shakespeare, his dream of translating Buddhist stories into new dramatic forms, and more.

Daniel Stillman, author of Good Talk: How to Design Conversations That Matter, reveals how conversations are designed—whether we realize it or not. Drawing from his background in design thinking and facilitation, Daniel breaks down the components of conversational architecture: openings, turns, power dynamics, and interfaces. He explains why physical and digital spaces fundamentally alter what conversations are possible, how to slow down heated exchanges through pacing and tone, and why the most important conversations we design might be the ones we have with ourselves. From boardrooms to Zoom rooms, Daniel shows how small changes to conversational structure can unlock radically different outcomes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Leadership, especially in ministry, can be lonely.  In this conversation, I got to sit down in person with pastor, bestselling author, and leadership expert, Carey Nieuwhof. We were surrounded by a room full of pastors and ministry leaders to talk about what it really looks like to lead well without losing your soul. We talk about the difference between real friendships and deal friendships, how to spot false intimacy, and why real connection matters more than ever. At the end, you'll also hear some honest questions from the room. The kind every leader wrestles with but rarely says out loud. It's a real, hope-filled conversation for anyone who leads, loves the church, or just wants to follow Jesus well between your Sundays.  Subscribe to The Conversation on YouTube and watch the full interview with Carey: youtube.com/@adamaweber  Sign up for The Crew: adamweber.com/thecrew     Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode:  First Interstate Bank has a mission to help people and their money work better together.

This week we're collaborating with the hosts from Herding Her Story.

This week's guest is true Hawaiian Surf Royalty . One of the most recognizable Surfers both in and out of the water. He broke nearly every amateur NSSA record, spent over a decade on the World Tour, and took the crown at the Backdoor Shootout. You've seen him light up the big screen in Saving Sarah Marshall, and absolutely tear it up on his signature “Catch Surf” boards and boogies, bringing pure stoke to the world through Beefs T.V. Always ahead of the curve, he was early on the wave pool movement, which led him to co-found the Palm Springs Surf Club. We're fired up to welcome the one and only Kalani "KOOLANI" Robb!!

“And we got a new Beatles song. I can't believe we're talking about the Beatles…. But John Lennon recorded a really corrupted vocal before he tragically died, and it was just kind of there because of some stem separation tech that is only possible because of machine learning. They were able to clean up the vocals, fully on board with the John Lennon estate and the remaining Beatles members, and there's a few others, but this is interesting. It's just, it's a new way of engaging with audio that people, fans are showing that they really like.” – Drew ThurlowThis episode's guest is a former professional musician turned music executive and strategist. He served as Senior Vice President of A&R at Sony Music and has held leadership roles at both Pandora and Warner Music.

I would so appreciate that.(0:00:00) - Evolution of Music Industry and TasteOur conversation starts off with Drew's early memories of sound and his start as a musician. “I was one of those kids,” he recalls, “who just didn't have idle time without a guitar in my hands, and I didn't think too much about it. I wasn't super self-reflective about it, I just kind of like followed my instincts and continued to do that.” He tells us more about his career journey as a music executive and explains how much the business has changed since he first started out. “There's the whole influencer thing wrapped up in it,” he says, “and the way people, especially Gen Z and younger millennials, fall in love with personalities and artists is different. It's not necessarily bad, it's just different.”(0:12:36) - AI Impact on Music IndustryAs the first half of our discussion wraps up, we turn to the question of whether AI might replace human artists, and Drew offers some surprising statistics. “From our best, really good estimates by places like Deezer and Spotify,” he says, “AI-generated music, even though it's a measurable percentage of all the songs on [digital service providers], is a third of a percent of the royalty pool, and I just want to reiterate that it is a rounding error. Nobody wants this music.” He shares his thoughts on where AI is heading and some of the ways it might help transform the music industry. “On the business side,” he tells us, “there's a lot of evidence that these fans want to engage with music in cool and interesting ways, and these AI tech tools allow them

As churches grow, one of their biggest challenges is finding the right people to add to their team. On paper, it may look like they have enough staff, but they often find themselves with a shortage of strategic leaders on their team. We're continuing our series on "Growing Church Problems" with an important topic that impacts every expanding ministry: structure and finding the right staff. In this episode, Amy and Sean talk about the structural pain points of growing churches, the tensions around staffing and practical next steps to take to address these challenges. Plus, Amy got to sit down with Jonathan Smith, lead pastor of OneChurch.to in Toronto and one of the newest members of our consulting team. Drawing from years of experience, he shares some best practices for hiring and promoting from within the congregation.

Email me at annehelenpetersen @ gmail OR submit a request to Patreon Support. Thank you for making the switch with us — the podcast in particular is much more at home here!I love books with complicated lore. I love plots that interrogate the way power accumulates and spoils — particularly but not exclusively on Ivy League campuses. I love it when a character learns of UNKNOWN POWERS, and I love a good heist. Which means I fell in love with Leigh Bardugo's books immediately. My favorite is Ninth House (and its sequel, Hell Bent) but she is equally well-known for the Shadow and Bone series and the duology Six of Crows, which was just re-released for its tenth anniversary... all of which pop up all over the Culture Study reading rec threads whenever we have them. So imagine my surprise when Leigh's team heard that Culture Study loved Leigh's work and would we like to have Leigh come on the show? YES, OF COURSE. And listen, I knew this conversation was gonna be great. But I didn't realize it was gonna be this great. We talk about genre, marketing, all the nerdy books she read as a teen, how to think about YA and exposure to the things that scare us, and, of course, whether there's gonna be a follow-up to Hell Bent. As always, we've worked hard to make this conversation interesting to people who aren't familiar with Leigh's work — all you have to be is interested in books, just generally — but if you're a fan, you're really gonna love it. Side Note: We're experimenting with producing our own (very imperfect) transcripts. You can find it here. If there's enough demand, we might consider putting in the not insignificant labor to make these super readable — but for now, they're a backup to the podcast, not a replacement for it.

Adelita Grijalva is best known for not getting to start her job in an unprecedented act by Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. After a seven-week delay, the Speaker has set a time to formally swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva for Nov 12. She holds the key to potentially forcing a vote in the House of Representatives to release files on an investigation into Donald Trump and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. But she is also looking forward to getting to work for her constituents. This week on The Gaggle, we are joined by Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva to discuss the delay in her swearing-in, the longest government shutdown in history and what she wants to accomplish on Capitol Hill.

E. Jean Carroll is a brave woman. In 2019, she sued Donald Trump for calling her a liar after she went public with the accusation that he had raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. There was a second trial. This one was about defamation and sexual abuse. Juries in both cases found Donald Trump guilty. E. Jean Carroll was awarded more than $88 million in damages. Now, President Trump has asked the Supreme Court to overturn the judgement that he defamed and sexually abused her. She's written a book about the court proceedings called Not My Type. We talk about resistance, trauma and never giving up. "Now What?" is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.

In this episode of The Fertility Podcast, we've gone back to the archive to share a chat I had a little while back with Kevin McEleny, Consultant Urologist at Newcastle Fertility Centre and Nuffield Health. Kevin is a specialist in male fertility and urology and has worked for years to raise awareness around the crucial but often overlooked role of male health in fertility care.We talk about how much of male fertility is still ignored, under-tested and underfunded, and what that means for couples trying to conceive. As someone who has experienced male factor infertility personally, this episode means a lot to me, and I know it will to many of you too.Whether you're going through IVF, facing a male factor diagnosis, or simply wanting to understand the full picture, I hope this episode helps you feel more informed and empowered.What we discuss in this episode:Why it's still so common for men to be left out of fertility investigationsWhat kinds of tests should be done for men and why basic semen analysis isn't enoughWhy timing, hormones and lifestyle can drastically impact sperm qualityWhat conditions might be missed if men aren't tested properlyThe emotional toll male fertility issues can take, and why support is essentialWhat male patients should expect when seeing a urologist or fertility specialistWhy early and equal testing matters for both partnersKevin also explained Kleinfelter Syndrome and how it can go undetected without the right support and investigation This episode is a call for more inclusive care, not just for women, but for men too. Because fertility is a shared journey, and everyone deserves to be heard.Special thanks to Examen, sponsor of this episodeExamen offers direct, cutting-edge sperm DNA fragmentation testing (including both single and double-strand DNA damage), used by 85% of fertility clinics across the UK and Ireland.Tests are:Non-invasiveAvailable via clinics or partner hubsDesigned to provide clarity, confidence and actionable insightYou don't need a referral to get tested.

The Cost of Judgment: Seeing Ourselves and Others Through Compassion Summary: In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis explore the nature of judgment—how we judge ourselves, others, and the world around us. They unpack how the brain's natural tendency to predict and protect can lead us to make judgments based on incomplete stories or past experiences. Through real-life examples, including therapy sessions and group work, they illustrate how judgment can distort perception, breed resentment, and disconnect us from others. Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn emphasize that judgment often arises when we lack understanding of a person's story. By shifting from judgment to curiosity—asking “What happened to you?” instead of “What's wrong with you?”—we open space for empathy and healing. They also explore how self-judgment impacts individuals, especially betrayed partners who internalize blame, and how learning to suspend judgment fosters emotional freedom and connection. The discussion integrates insights from Byron Katie's “The Work” and Dr. Bruce Perry & Oprah Winfrey's “What Happened to You?”, encouraging listeners to question their assumptions and replace self-condemnation with self-compassion. The episode closes with a reflective invitation: identify a situation or person you've judged, and ask, “What's the story behind this thought, emotion, or behavior?” Resources Mentioned: The Work by Byron Katie — Four powerful questions to challenge judgments and distorted beliefs. What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Dr. Bruce D. Perry & Oprah Winfrey — Exploring how understanding personal stories transforms compassion and connection. The Betrayal Bond by Dr. Patrick Carnes — Understanding trauma bonds and how early experiences shape adult patterns and self-judgment. Compassionate Accountability: A Field Guide to Building Connection and Trust by Dr. Nate Regier — For learning how to balance accountability with empathy.

In this episode of Concepts and Conversations with Coach Bryan Thomas, we take a nostalgic ride back to TM Camp 1999 in Zanesville, Ohio—a place filled with spiritual awakening, youthful excitement, and unforgettable memories. Coach Bryan brings listeners into the world of anticipation, emotion, and faith as he recounts the moments leading up to that annual summer escape — from bus rides filled with laughter to the unmistakable scent of the Zanesville air.As he revisits those sacred campgrounds, he reflects on faith, growing up, and the mysterious young woman who once captured his attention. The tension between devotion and desire unfolds with honesty and humor, giving us a heartfelt window into a 16-year-old's mind—torn between the call of God and the pull of young love.And just when you think the story has settled, Coach Bryan adds a special touch to the end of this episode — a brand-new song inspired by The Chronicles of the Mystery Girl, capturing the emotion, nostalgia, and reflection of those summer days. This song closes the episode with soul, sound, and sentiment, marking a perfect harmony between story and music.Tune in and experience storytelling, reflection, and melody woven together — one day, one moment at a time.
